Docker with a gluetun container. This container’s only role is to connect to my VPN provider. Any traffic I want through the VPN is set to use that container as its network. If the VPN goes down, gluetun loses connection, any container attached to gluetun can no longer access the internet.
I use a qbittorent docker container for my torrent client but you can attach whatever client you’re comfortable with, as well as any other container you prefer be on a VPN.
While qbittorent has a built in kill switch, this works for everything. No VPN means no connection, period.
132·10 months agoif Azerbaijan invades actual Armenia proper, then that’s a different story.
The possibility of that happening is literally the linked article.
Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. Always has been.
Internationally recognized, fine. The population was about 120,000. 100,000 fled to Armenia after the attack. I’m sure they care about international lines on a map.
Always has been is categorically false. Armenia has been a country for about a thousand years before the ones who drew the lines on your map.
The “Christians being persecuted” crowd only care about Target selling shirts with rainbows.
They were actually the first Christian nation in 301 AD/CE. Not that state religion is great, but it’s an interesting history given they were sandwiched between the Romans and the Parthians at the time and were pretty much a football between the Romans and whoever was nextdoor throughout the entirety of the Roman empire. If they aligned with “nextdoor” the Romans often ignored them as long as they didn’t allow armies from nextdoor through. And when the Romans had their own puppet king over there, well, bully for them.
Not much has changed. Now they’re sandwiched between Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Georgia, with Georgia being a Russian conduit at least militarily if not politically. And Turkey and Azerbaijan are effectively one and the same with Azerbaijian having a dash of Russian influence. That’s not a great place to be if you’re a tiny country served as an appetizer to the surrounding powers.
Anyway, welcome to my TED Talk.
They also have many of the pipelines that send oil/gas from that region to Europe. Hence the hand wringing and platitudes from the West rather than actual help. Aliyev knows this.

And when Armenia had the gall to even hint at trying to break from under Russia’s thumb to the West, Aliyev got the ok from Russia to teach them a lesson.
Azerbaijian took Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh 8 days later, in spite of a prior Russian security agreement to prevent exactly that.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but Armenians aren’t muslims, they’re majority Christian.

26·11 months agoJordan would be a shit-show of massive proportions. Which is saying something given that it would have to beat out the current shit-show.
EDIT: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/12/us/politics/scalise-jordan-house-speaker.html
Even though the votes on Thursday had clearly stacked up against Mr. Scalise, some of his allies were still surprised by his withdrawal announcement in a closed-door meeting. Several openly wept.
Congress being a circus shouldn’t be funny, but holy shit I lost it at that one.
I cringe every time someone calls that moron “Coach,” and that he apparently prefers that people do so. This isn’t a game, “Coach.” Try being a Senator for 5 fucking minutes.
And Trump grabbed people by the pussy. This is not new information. 2020 at the latest:
The voters for the party of “family values” stopped pretending to fake it a long time ago. And make no mistake, this is on the voters.
If the world didn’t require actual leadership this would be funny. Except it does and these morons are in a position of influence. You have 8 people who value being on TV over lives, and over 200 people who will work with you if you don’t tether everything to women’s uteri.

They were suspended by vote, then AFTER the vote results they said they had actually already quit. It was elementary school playground levels of “nuh uh” and within a year they tried to come back.
"The American people expect us to govern,” said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La. “I’d also advise all of my House colleagues to be sure to take your meds.”
Can’t wait to see that one on poster board behind Jamie Raskin at the next impeachment theater event.
In no way intended to be a check, just more context. You nailed it.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ll just add:
“Well, as soon as he realized what was going on, he should have left”
He did.
Milley realized too late that Trump, who continued across the street to pose for a now-infamous photo while standing in front of a vandalized church, was manipulating him into a visual endorsement of his martial approach to the demonstrations. Though Milley left the entourage before it reached the church, the damage was significant. “We’re getting the fuck out of here,” Milley said to his security chief. “I’m fucking done with this shit.” Esper would later say that he and Milley had been duped.
“He should have made these kinds of strong statements against his being dragged into that photo op much earlier.”
He said this within a week, if that counts:
The week afterward, in a commencement address to the National Defense University, he apologized to the armed forces and the country. “I should not have been there,” he said.
As far as I’m aware, any comment he has ever made regarding the incident he has said it was a mistake.

It’s more the lopsidedness than the numbers themselves that concerns me. It would only take an extraordinarily small difference to hand the election to Trump with how close it was last time and is now. But I’ll try to use the optimism from this thread to smother my cynicism for now.
For now at least, polls show about 25% of Democrats would vote for him over Biden vs 13% of Republicans. This is bad.
Was going to say, “where have I heard that before?”
It’s been 30-40 years. Not a century. Most adults know fully well they’re repeating garbage from the 80s and 90s.
They learned nothing and don’t care. These people are not reasonable.
