UNITED STATES: Global Domination and "Digital" Death Washington's 2026 nuclear posture emphasizes political leverage over Europe. Ground-based: LGM-30G Minuteman III (13,000 km range, 475kt warheads, 200m CEP) and LGM-35A Sentinel (new generation, modular, digital integration). Naval: Trident II D5 (12,000 km, 8-12 MIRVs per missile, 24 per Ohio-class). Columbia-class submarines (reduced acoustic signature, Mediterranean deployments). Air: B-21 Raider (sixth-generation stealth, penetrates advanced air defenses). AGM-181 LRSO (stealth cruise missile, terrain-following). Tactical: B61-12 guided nuclear bomb (0.3-50kt variable yield, forward-deployed in Germany, Italy, Turkey). The doctrine of "limited nuclear use" creates the illusion of controlled escalation while making European host nations primary targets for retaliation. https://newsgroup.site/%d0%b2%d1%81%d1%8f-%d1%8f%d0%b4%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d0%b7%d0%b1%d1%80%d0%be%d1%8f-%d1%81%d0%b2%d1%96%d1%82%d1%83-%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%bc-%d0%bd%d0%b0-2026-%d1%80%d1%96%d0%ba/ #USA #NuclearWeapons #Minuteman #Trident #B21 #B61 #NATO #Europe

Absolute massive violent airstrikes are hitting Tehran today. Reports and video footage show explosions across the capital, including in residential areas. Civilian casualties are mounting. Tehran is a city of 15 million people. Behind every casualty is a name, a family, a life interrupted forever. War is never surgical when it lands on a city. #Tehran #Iran #Airstrikes #CivilianCasualties #WarCrimes #Humanity

Quantum computing represents the next technological revolution, following artificial intelligence. Unlike classical computers using bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits that leverage superposition and entanglement to process massive datasets in parallel. This enables solutions to problems that would take traditional supercomputers thousands of years. Key applications: — Pharmaceutical research: molecular modeling in days vs years — Cybersecurity: current encryption becomes vulnerable — Logistics: real-time optimization of complex supply chains — Energy: new materials for batteries and hydrogen The combination with AI could enable true artificial general intelligence (AGI). Major players: Google, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon. National programs in US, China, EU. Startups including IonQ, Rigetti, PsiQuantum. We remain in the NISQ era (noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices). Commercial mass adoption is expected in 5-10 years. For investors: this resembles the internet in the 1990s. High risk, high uncertainty, but transformative potential. #QuantumComputing #Technology #AI #Investing #FutureTrends https://vir.group

China's renewable energy expansion has reached staggering scale. In 2023 alone, the country added 216 GW of solar capacity — more than the total ever installed in the United States. Wind added another 100 GW. Total renewable capacity now exceeds 1.5 TW. For comparison, the entire US power grid (all sources) stands at approximately 1.2 TW. This is driven by energy security needs, market dominance (China controls 80% of solar supply chains), and economics. Solar prices have fallen 90% in a decade, making it the cheapest energy source in history. The challenge now is transmission. China is building ultra-high-voltage lines and massive battery storage to move power from western deserts to eastern industrial centers. For investors: grid infrastructure, copper, lithium, and rare earth metals are the strategic assets of the coming decade. #China #Renewables #Solar #EnergyTransition #Investing #Grid https://vir.group/

Melania Trump is chairing a UN Security Council meeting today as the United States holds the Security Council presidency this month. This comes amid a widening regional war in the Middle East, nuclear powers actively rearming, and escalating global tensions. Critics view the choice as treating global diplomacy as ceremonial rather than substantive—sending a figurehead with no foreign policy experience to chair the world's most important diplomatic body at a moment of extreme crisis. #UNSC #Diplomacy #MelaniaTrump #GlobalPolitics

The US diplomatic mission in Saudi Arabia has issued an urgent security alert requiring American citizens in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dhahran to shelter in place immediately. Non-essential travel to any military facilities across the region is restricted. The alert advises all US citizens in the Kingdom to follow these instructions without delay, indicating a specific and credible threat assessment. #SaudiArabia #USEmbassy #SecurityAlert #ShelterInPlace

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims that 40 US soldiers were killed and 70 wounded in a recent combined missile and drone attack on the UAE. This information has not been independently verified, and US Central Command has not yet issued a response. Casualty claims in active conflict should be treated as unverified until confirmed by multiple sources. #IRGC #USMilitary #UAEAttack #Casualties

A US official told CNN that the United States is preparing for a "significant increase in attacks in Iran" over the next 24 hours. The statement comes amid ongoing regional escalation. Meanwhile, domestic observers note the contrast between foreign military priorities and unresolved internal challenges. #USPolitics #Iran #ForeignPolicy #DomesticIssues

Reports indicate massive violent airstrikes are currently underway in Tehran, Iran's capital. Details are emerging and unconfirmed—origin, specific targets, casualties, and damage remain unknown. This represents a dramatic escalation in the ongoing conflict. Tehran is Iran's political, economic, and cultural center; strikes here will have immediate regional and global implications. Civilian populations are now in direct harm's way. Awaiting official information. #Tehran #Airstrikes #Iran #BreakingNews #Escalation

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Pentagon is enhancing security measures at military installations across the United States. This move reflects increased concern over potential threats on home soil amid escalating global conflicts, including recent strikes on US bases in the Middle East and the first combat use of Iranian hypersonic missiles. Enhanced measures likely include stricter access controls, increased patrols, and elevated security postures at bases nationwide. The specific intelligence driving these changes has not been disclosed. #Pentagon #MilitarySecurity #HomelandDefense #WSJ

Iran has confirmed the first combat deployment of its Fattah-2 hypersonic missile as part of Operation True Promise 4—a multi-wave retaliation campaign against US and Israeli targets following joint airstrikes on Iranian territory beginning February 28, 2026. The Fattah-2 features a range of 1400-1500 km, speeds up to Mach 15, and a hypersonic glide vehicle designed to evade air defense systems. Video evidence shows some projectiles successfully avoiding multiple interceptors. Confirmed impacts include US military bases in Bahrain (headquarters of the Fifth Fleet), Qatar, and the UAE; a ballistic missile strike on central Jerusalem causing civilian injuries; and a drone strike on a high-rise in Bahrain. Iranian sources claim approximately 200 US military fatalities. US sources acknowledge base damage but report effective interceptions and no significant American losses. The discrepancy reflects the ongoing information war. The escalation follows the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and includes asymmetric attacks on commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz, including the tanker Skylight, which was damaged and began sinking. Oil prices have surged, airspace is closing, and Washington is signaling retaliation. #Iran #Fattah2 #HypersonicMissile #OperationTruePromise4 #MiddleEastConflict

Today, Macron announced a significant shift in French nuclear doctrine from the Île Longue naval base: arsenal expansion, ending transparency on warhead numbers, and offering "extended deterrence" to European partners (Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, UK) while explicitly refusing shared control: "No sharing of the final decision, its planning, or its execution." This comes as the Trump administration, facing unexpected casualties in Operation Epic Fury against Iran, pressures Europe for direct military involvement. Gulf states demand protection without new adventures. European powers hesitate. The strategic signal to Washington is clear: France asserts autonomy. But credibility remains the central question. France hosts US bases, remains NATO-integrated, and Macron's history shows oscillation between sovereignty rhetoric and Atlantic loyalty. When Washington applies real pressure—economic sanctions, political blackmail—will the nuclear rhetoric hold? Words without follow-through are just noise. Europe has heard this before. https://newsgroup.site/%d0%b2%d0%b0%d1%88%d0%b8%d0%bd%d0%b3%d1%82%d0%be%d0%bd-%d0%be%d1%82%d1%80%d0%b8%d0%bc%d0%b0%d0%b2-%d0%bf%d0%be-%d0%b7%d1%83%d0%b1%d0%b0%d1%85-%d1%96-%d0%ba%d0%bb%d0%b8%d1%87%d0%b5-%d1%94%d0%b2%d1%80/ #Geopolitics #France #NuclearDeterrence #Macron #NATO

RE: https://social.vir.group/@newsgroup/116160782718461224 It was certainly a bit funny when we thought the server started gaining new users—strange, we weren't advertising anywhere and then boom—so many registrations in just a few days. 😆

📑 Guide: Changing Mastodon Character Limit (Docker/Coolify) Without Forking This method allows you to increase the character limit (e.g., from 500 to 7500) while keeping your instance on the official Mastodon Docker images. This ensures easy updates and prevents the "merge hell" of custom forks. 1. Prepare Modified Files on the Host Instead of editing files inside the container (which are wiped on every update), we create local copies on your server (e.g., in /root/). A. Backend Validator (/root/status_length_validator.rb) Change the MAX_CHARS constant to your desired limit. Ruby # frozen_string_literal: true class StatusLengthValidator < ActiveModel::Validator MAX_CHARS = 7500 # Set your limit here URL_PLACEHOLDER_CHARS = 23 URL_PLACEHOLDER = 'x' * 23 # ... (keep the rest of the file as is) B. Frontend Container (/root/compose_form_container.js) Locate the line where the frontend fetches the character limit and set the fallback value to match your limit. JavaScript // Search for 'max_characters' and change the fallback 500 to 7500 maxChars: state.getIn(['server', 'server', 'configuration', 'statuses', 'max_characters'], 7500), 2. Update Docker Compose Configuration In Coolify (or your docker-compose.yml), modify the web service. We use Volumes to "overlay" our custom files onto the container's filesystem. YAML web: image: 'tootsuite/mastodon:v4.5.5' # 1. Environment Variables: Tell the API to report the new limit environment: - MAX_TOOT_CHARS=7500 - MAX_STATUS_CHARS=7500 # 2. Volume Mounts: Inject the modified files volumes: - 'mastodon_system:/opt/mastodon/public/system' - '/root/status_length_validator.rb:/opt/mastodon/app/validators/status_length_validator.rb' - '/root/compose_form_container.js:/opt/mastodon/app/javascript/mastodon/features/compose/containers/compose_form_container.js' 3. Why This Works (v4.3+ Logic) Modern Mastodon versions (v4.3, v4.4, v4.5+) are more dynamic: Environment Variables: Setting MAX_TOOT_CHARS forces the /api/v1/instance endpoint to report the new limit. Mobile apps (like Tusky or Ivory) read this and unlock the limit automatically. Volumes: Overlaying the Ruby file ensures the backend validates the length correctly. Overlaying the JS file ensures the web interface doesn't block the "Publish" button at 500 characters. 4. Apply and Verify Save the configuration in Coolify. Redeploy: A simple restart is not enough; a redeploy is required to create the new volume mounts. Clear Browser Cache: Use Ctrl + F5 to ensure the new JavaScript is loaded. Verification To confirm the server is broadcasting the new limit, visit: https://your-domain.com/api/v1/instance Search for "max_characters": 7500. If you see it, the backend, frontend, and mobile apps are all synced. 💡 Why this is better than a Fork: ✅ Update-proof: When a new Mastodon version is released, just click "Update" in Coolify. Your custom volumes will stay in place. ✅ No Build Time: You don't have to wait hours for a custom Docker image to build. ✅ Clean: You stay on the official security-patched images.

Bill Gates is funding SCoPEx: a plan to block the Sun with calcium carbonate spray. The "goal": cool the planet. The reality: one man with Epstein ties gets to control global climate. Crop failure. Famine. Collapsed immunity. And he profits from the solutions. This is not science. This is power. #geoengineering #billgates #accountability https://newsgroup.site/%d0%b1%d1%96%d0%bb%d0%bb-%d0%b3%d0%b5%d0%b9%d1%82%d1%81-%d0%b3%d0%be%d1%82%d1%83%d1%94%d1%82%d1%8c%d1%81%d1%8f-%d0%b2%d1%96%d0%b4%d0%ba%d0%bb%d1%8e%d1%87%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b8-%d1%81%d0%be%d0%bd%d1%86/
