A few days after he was sworn in as 47th US president, he claimed Greenland “wanted to be with us” and said he believed it would eventually become part of the US.
“I think the people want to be with us,” Trump said when asked about the island in the press room on board the presidential plane.
Neslyšel jsem něco podobného o Podněstří? Donbasu? Ukrajině? Až mi bude 75, budu taky takovej idiot, nebo k tomu potřebuju ještě jiné dispozice?

Maybe that could be mentioned in the OP?
It's a fairly big oversight when posting jobs to a global site, and all the details of restrictions end up being 3 clicks away.... you're not alone almost every job posting is the same.
There really needs to be a standard format for job postings that includes residency/eligibility.

LibreOffice is used by 200 million people around the world. Every major release goes through extensive testing, with Alpha, Beta and Release Candidate versions – and there are regular monthly minor updates to fix issues too.Mike Saunders (The Document Foundation)
Also, who would have expected that when travelling between Amsterdam and Paris, one needs to bring a BS 1363 socket adapter.
Half of the seats is equipped with Schuko sockets though so this is a matter of luck.
@overunderlay There's no such thing as universal outlet. The one on the picture does not provide earthing for dominant european plugs nor accepts italian or swiss plugs.
I think having alternating scheme of BS 1363 and Schuko sockets is much better than that. Hopefully, during some future refresh, 60W USB-PD chagers would be installed which will make everyone's life much easier.

For 2025, here is a updated and hopefully-useful notice about Linux kernel security issues, as it seems like this knowledge isn't distributed very widely based on the number of emails I still get on a weekly basis:
- The Linux kernel security team does not have any "early notice" announcement list for security fixes for anyone, as that would only make things more insecure for everyone. The number of organizations that fail to understand this is way too high.
- The kernel community DOES assign CVEs, as we are a CNA, please see kernel.org/doc/html/latest/pro… for how they are handled and assigned. Side note, we were #2 in quantity for CVE assignments in 2024 despite only doing so for 10 1/2 months, averaging about 10 CVEs per day. Any process you might have where you feel you need to research each CVE on an individual basis manually is going to be a major time suck, automate it! All CVE entries are provided with proper git commit ids for the vulnerable release ranges for you to check yourself, AND we have tools and other formats that you can use to check this yourself. See git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/s… for the tools and raw data for you to pull from directly if you don't want to deal with the cve.org json feed.
- Kernel CVE entries are constantly updated over time, you can not just look a them only when created, and then ignore all updates. Too many groups are missing revoked CVE entries and tightening of vulnerable kernel ranges that we are updating on a weekly basis. By ignoring the updates, you are causing yourself more work, not less. cve.org provides an "updated" feed in their git tree, use it!
- Along the lines of the huge number of recorded CVEs, you HAVE to take all of the stable/LTS releases in order to have a
secure and stable system. If you attempt to cherry-pick random patches you will NOT fix all of the known, and unknown, problems,
but rather you will end up with a potentially more insecure system, and one that contains known bugs. Reliance on an "enterprise"
distribution to provide this for your systems is up to you, discuss it with them as to how they achieve this result as this is what you are paying for. If you aren't paying for it, just use Debian, they know what they are doing and track the stable kernels and have a larger installed base than any other Linux distro. For embedded, use Yocto, they track the stable releases, or keep your own buildroot-based system up to date with the new releases.
- Test all stable/LTS releases on your workload and hardware before putting the kernel into "production" as everyone runs a different %
of the kernel source code from everyone else (servers run about 1.5mil lines of code, embedded runs about 3.5mil lines of code, your mileage will vary). If you can't test releases before moving them into production, you might want to solve that problem first.
- A fix for a known bug is better than the potential of a fix causing a future problem as future problems, when found, will be fixed then.
