Hello fellow graybeard! I, too, started back in the 90s. Internet felt like a video game, always something new, hacker culture, bleeding in from phone phreaking and with Linux hitting the market we had the FreeBSD vs GNU/Linux debates, TLDP.org and forums and BBs and so much more.

Fun times.

Fair, my thoughts are of the current utilization and use-case we have for Unix-like systems makes it so dynamic and universal. I absolutely love it.

UNIX systems in the 1960s. They are still in use to this day and modified ones run our phones, Steam Decks and space craft!

Anywhere near an active duty military base is cheap and likely has fiber internet as well as a good airport near by. Usually has large DoD contractors who hire and pay well.

I agree with you. Tragic loss of life on both sides.

Thanks for your service.

Here you go, it’s been fought in court and it’s legal-ish.

I was in the thick of it during the wars in Iraq (06-07) and Afghanistan (09-10) fighting and it was critical we avoid collateral damage to population and structures - you’re absolutely right, it creates terrorists.

When things kicked off in Israel, even the US Administration, states to be careful with strikes. It’s all of the hype surrounding Mossad and Israel’s claim to fame when it comes to counterterrorism, I am shocked that they didn’t utilize more strategic strikes and Special Forces to eliminate Hamas.

I definitely see them in a different light now.

OP stated his diagnosis. I’m sure his statement about loss of control due to neurological issues isn’t a Web MD search, my friend.
