Her sex is quite relevant for her writings. Any man was fair target for guns. She wrote from undisturbed safety of her privilege.

Even her treatment by military police after arrest was different.

Women are capable of fighting in wars!

Pretty serious.

There is a war going on right now, look at injury to death ratios. It would be nice to have some nurses around, maybe so many soldiers would not bleed to death!

And 20 years old woman is more physically capable than 60 years old male!

It is real shame US army did not allowed more women on D-Day. There were 17 years old boys on beach, any woman is capable of doing such assault!

Women still face horrible discrimination, when it comes to combat deployment and deaths, even today!

Not really, employment is too vulnerable position, too much liability, and too many taxes.

Today such people get accused by someone, and promptly fired. Later they reappear as consultants.

Quitting just because you are not paid enough is so 2014. I will gladly take 50% less, if you keep me!

With K8s on bunch of Pis I have dozens of layers, machines, network connections to monitor.

With single server, complexity is much much lower. I installed my server years ago, once a month I check logs and do updates (10 minutes of work). Some time next year I will upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 and replace SSD (just in case), about 1 hour of work.

K8s is really horrible when it comes to time efficiency!

And than your network stops working for couple of days, and you are @#£#&. Or your backups did not work for couple of months, and you find out the hard way!

I have some hardware for fun and learning, but it is well isolated. Using K8s for home infrastructure is bad idea.

I save pages into PDF files. Low tech, but works since 2001.

I print with zero page margins, so in viewer it seems like continuous page. I found Firefox produced smallest pdfs. Chrome embeds fonts and other stuff. I also use UBlock rules to hide some elements.

Pretty useful for archiving discussions on Reddit.

Too many wars, sort of. History book I read explained that as a wrong division of power. Increased iron production failed to increase military strength.

Class that valued industrial production, looked down on warfare as something beneath them.

And warlords preferred feudal society of peasants to squeeze. Industry would threaten them.

China around 1AD had iron production comparable to England at start of industrial revolution. They were also starting to use mechanization (quote from wiki bellow).

> The effectiveness of the Chinese human and horse powered blast furnaces was enhanced during this period by the engineer Du Shi (c. AD 31), who applied the power of waterwheels to piston-bellows in forging cast iron.

My point is that "auto brewery syndrome" is pretty well known at some type of community.
