I guess there is a difference between "it's known to happen" and "a nation state accuses another nation state"

I know this is fuckcars, but park-and-ride schemes are to remove cars from city centers.
Park out of town, get a bus in for the day, bus back, and drive home.
They are fairly popular and fairly effective around the UK.

Yeh, it would be great if everyone had excellent bus/train service, but this is a decent stop gap

Nano is useful because it is everywhere.
There are better editors, but being familiar with nano and it's shortcuts means you can edit files pretty much anywhere.
Same with knowing the basics of vim (like being able to edit, exit and save)

Buy the 2nd last tool you will ever need.

The first round of tools for any hobby or DIY project.
If you don't know what you want from a screwdriver, snips, circular saw etc. then there is no point in buying the super primo bells & whistles expensive stuff.
Once you've used a tool and learned what you don't like about it, or what you actually use it for, or how often you actually use it... Then you can make the informed decision to just buy another cheap one, or splash out on something that's actually fun to use.

Buy the 2nd last tool you will ever need.

There are rare occasions where "buy once cry once" apply. But it's rare

The judge that banned X also stated a fine of 10k for anyone using a VPN to circumvent the ban.
Difficult to police and enforce, but it's been made clear that accessing X is considered illegal
