Making animal noises over quiet channels is a long running joke that has been going on for decades, at least. Someone at the FAA put their pants on too tight this morning, it seems.

    Either use bare wireguard or netbird/zerotier/tailscale.

    does it open the port to the internet, for anyone to see or connect to?

    Yes, it will be accessible on the local network if incoming connections to your port are not blocked by a local AP or switch, and from the internet if incoming connections to you are also not blocked at the router.

    It's generally a bad practice to expose apps (syncthing, etc) directly to the internet with

    allow from anywhere
    

    rules, but it's not an issue for services like wireguard and ssh when used properly.

    The threshold the Israeli authorities have set for the use of a nuclear weapon is dangerously low.

    Israeli strategic thinking has long been shaped by the fear of an existential threat. Unlike most nuclear states, whose doctrines revolve around deterrence or competition with other nuclear powers, Israel’s security narrative is rooted in the belief that the country could face destruction if a war turns decisively against it. Israeli leaders have repeatedly framed regional conflicts — from the wars of 1967 and 1973 to present confrontations with Iran and armed groups in Gaza and Lebanon — as struggles for national survival. That mindset matters enormously when nuclear weapons are involved.

    Why should she keep her composure?

    This is coming from the leader of the country that launched their own 'surprise' and killed over 250,000 of her country's civilians.

    This is not a humanitarian or ethics question

    From Israel's perspective nuclear weapons are a last resort

    Correct.

    Their leadership and military may be genocidal, but they still have a sense of self-preservation and act somewhat rationally

    Genocide isn't perpetuated by rational thinkers, is not an act of self preservation, and does not protect the wellbeing of it's perpetrators. The absurdity of this cannot be understated.

    I am not making a moral argument. I am stating Israel has shown the depravity to use tactics of absolute destruction and barbarity, an established doctrine promoting the use of nuclear arms if Israel were to take heavy damage, and the fact that Israel is taking significant damage as their defenses continue to weaken as additional fronts open. These are all key requirements for the use of nuclear arms by Israel, and they are increasingly being met. Suggesting the US is more likely to deploy nuclear weapons from their position of relative safety is just laughable.

    The United States attended India's International Fleet Review and MILAN 2026 training events, just days before attacking an unarmed Iranian warship that had also been in attendance.

    India held their first MILAN event in 1995, and has since hosted additional events every two years. The event requires vessels be unarmed or carrying minimal munitions. The United States had also previously attended in 2022 and 2024.

    The Iranian ship was attacked on March 4, less than a week after the conclusion of MILAN 2026 on February 26.

    Having frequently attended these exercises, the United States likely knew the IRIS Dena was not carrying munitions as they torpedoed the returning Iranian vessel.
