Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know:
It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

We just transitioned CoSocial from an ad-hoc combine of AWS, OVH, and DO to @fedihost, see https://fedihost.co, a Managed Fediverse Hosting outfit. Already feels faster, and should be cheaper too. Self-managed instances are cool but not, I suspect, the general-case future.
FediHost - Managed Fediverse Hosting
FediHost is a managed fediverse hosting service. With a couple of clicks you can be up and running with your own Mastodon or Peertube instance.

Take the money they saved in not keeping Alan Dye and dump it on Srouji’s doorstep until he stays.

HTTP has a new method: QUERY. Tl;dr: GET with a body.

The HTTP QUERY Method
This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP. A QUERY requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a safe and idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that processing. This is similar to POST requests but can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.
