Putin himself has crossed border already.

I think it is best for me to leave this little Intellectual Curiosity Club.

> Ukraine had no interest in shooting down it's own cargo plane.

Cargo -- no. MA plane -- very much.

Their so-called ATO (in reality, genocide) failed just recently. Some of their troops were surrounded at UA-RU border by rebels, they are desorganised, some are fleeing into Russia even.

At this point Kiev needs something.

People burned alive in Odessa.

Many people (noncombatants) killed in Lugansk from BM-21 "Grad" bombings.

Artillery shooting near UA-RU border, killing two soldiers.

Shooting over cross-border stations while refugees were trying to escape into Russia.

Many episodes.

Kiev declared that 'terrorists' (familiar word, isn't it?) are in Lugansk and Donetsk and started shooting over whole population regardless.

UA has the very same capability since USSR days and therefore probably did.

This is just brilliant.

AN-26 shooting, allegedly by rebels, proofs that malaysian boeing was shot by rebels.

By that logic UA did this because it shot down russian civil plane in 2001, admitting it after months.

If you'd follow the story from the very beginning, you'd understand why those "we have Buk" posts were made.

Since the beginning of the conflict UA did everything they can to provoke Russia into crossing border.

Well, almost everything.

There are also claims that UA was really trying to shoot Russian Plane #1 which was flying close to malaysian boeing both in time and space

There are many claims.

Reminds me of 'add "over the Internet" and patent' tactics.

fairly obvious, isn't it?

> Increasing the max setting does not consume additional resources. It merely makes it possible for applications to get the resources they ask for.

From unswappable kernel memory, yeah.

> kernel.pid_max = 999999

> * - nproc unlimited

1.000.000 pids is 1 mil task_struct's.

On my quite stripped out kernel 14 task_struct's fit into order 3 slab -- 14 objects per 32KB or kernel memory.

1000000 / 14 * 32 * 1024 = 2.18 GB of kernel memory

and that's not even counting other kernel structures!

Note, vm.overcommit_memory is not even mentioned.

How disappointing.

> From spring straight to winter?

That would be Ukraine, where two Russian journalists were killed recently during bombing of Lugansk.

In back then USSR liberal loonies cried that "freedom of choice between 2 or more candidates in elections" is all you need.
