My approach: Don’t listen to him. Only results count.

If your box isn’t globally addressable (because of NAT), your box can’t be connected to. It works one way only, from the inside out - because the NAT-router keeps track of the connections your box makes to globally addressable hosts and forwards reply packages back to your box.

You could use IPv6 which because of the vast amounts of ipv6-addresses, eliminates the need for NAT. Or you could use a VPN or a tunneling service which gives you a dedicated IP. Or port forwarding from a globally addressable host. Either self hosted or as a service. Switch to an ISP which doesn’t do CGNAT.

In short: ipv6 is easiest.:)

Edit: does anybody know if a non addressable seed box gets info about interested and globally addressable peers somehow (either tracker or tracker-less) so it can initiate a TCP connection to those peers? Are there resources to read up in that topic?

We need to talk about the horizontal distance between those Ts. (not really :)

Good times.:)

Game theory? He needs the west to do what he told his people the west would do?

But he doesn’t need the NATO to actually attack to substantiate his rhetoric. Or does he?

Sounds plausible. Thanks

What’s the aim here?
Testing the west?
Numbing NATOs reaction through repetition? - crying wolf repeatedly worked well for Hamas, but it is a bit different here.
Some domestic politics related demonstration of power like Sapad25?

How does one spot them in the wild if they are so sneaky? Infrared? Wait until they move? That is quite impressive.

Interesting. What a strange companionship. :)

Possibly.

Hey. I wanted to write that! ;)

What? Ah here it is:

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed today that Nvidia will contribute “GPU chiplets” that Intel can place alongside its x86 CPU cores instead of the Arc integrated graphics it develops in-house today.

They could buy AMD Radeon chiplets too, that would be something.:)

He sells weapons to Ukraine and strongly urges the other NATO members to increase their military budget. How can this be explained?

Trump

Controlling, steering, influencing - who knows. He is still hoping for a Trump Tower at the Red Square or something like that.

The problem is that the ministers of the department of state and the department of defense aren’t up to their task either. I mean Hegseth?

The proxy war in Ukraine strengthens China, India, North korea. China gets the chance to ramp up its military production capacity even more while Russia pays for it. North Korea gains military know-how… submarines, rockets, drones. India gets cheap gas.
Ok, Syria’s regime collapsed, but the country isn’t stable at all.

Europe is forced to arm itself or so they say. The result is a diminishing influence of the US on Europe. The broken promise to protect Ukraine if they give up their nukes reduces the trust in the US. The US diplomacy doesn’t look exactly coherent - Russia has not much reason to take the US seriously atm.

Russia’s autocracy is stabilized by the war. Its war against Ukraine didn’t hurt Russia too much, it even gained something. A message to other countries with ambitions to try it themselves. Canada, Greenland and Taiwan are on the menu I heard.

And: Resources are wasted. Environment and climate are damaged. People die.

Not sure if the advantages outweigh the negative aspects or if it is more about domestic political opportunism and cleptocracy/ personal gain. Inexperiencie and shortsightedness too, maybe.
