  • That’s the only way any of this makes sense.

    Not at all. The other way that this makes sense is that Trump, Hegseth and mob are incompetent wannabe 19th-century imperialists out to grab whatever they can.

    Is all this for a build-up to war or is something else afoot?

    They’re incompetent and evil enough to blunder into a war. The bigger question is what kind of war? My guess is that it’ll be a war, allied with Russia, against Western Europe and modern civilization.



  • explicitly built into systems like CDNs, git, and blockchain

    Git only duplicates blobs; textual content is generally stored as deltas (look at git_repack for more details). And it’s bad practice to version-control blobs: the more correct approach is to control the source from which the blob is generated.

    CDNs don’t all work alike so it’s impossible to generalize. I won’t comment on blockchain, since in my work as a developer and architect, I’ve never encountered a valid use case for it.
