8 years of fortification is lost in less than a month.

Who needs to cope now?

There’s nothing but bad news for Ukraine on this direction.

All these downvotes mean nothing in face of truth after time has passed.

Ukraine called all men and all draftable women to show up at military draft tracking locations.

That’s my loose translation.

Reason: allegedly to improve tracking of people.

My opinion: to replenish losses after disastrous summer counteroffensive.

Time magazine

Ukraine Is in Worse Shape than You Think

I could find non-English reports that personnel in some military units have been changed completely several times in Ukraine.

Some western leaders stated loss numbers far exceeding official Ukrainian losses.

Would you believe any data I quote?

So, there is no point for me to waste my time.

The downvote numbers clearly indicate the desire to hide this information.

Have your facts in check.

New York Times:

After Suffering Heavy Losses, Ukrainians Paused to Rethink Strategy Early in the counteroffensive, Ukraine lost as much as 20 percent of its weapons and armor. The rate dropped as the campaign slowed and commanders shifted tactics.

Ukraine lost 90k people this summer

I just want to see control scheme.

I got what i was looking for.

Huge Ukrainian losses enabled Russian offensive.

Because Ukraine wasted all of its people in Russian meat grinder, under name of Spring, no it was Summer, no it was Fall counteroffensive, Russia was able to start its offensive knowing well that Ukraine can’t counter it effectively.

Ok, let’s just face it. Promised Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed after 6 months, killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians and accomplished less than Russian Avdiivka attack in last 2 days.

Russian troops have initiated a sustained offensive, effectively “encircling” the Ukrainian armed forces, as reported by The Economist.

After months of a slow Ukrainian counter-offensive, Russian troops commenced their own counter-offensive on October 9th, with a focus on the Avdeevka region. According to the influential British publication, this marks one of Russia’s most significant offensives since the previous spring. Its objective is to trap the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a dire situation, and whether or not Avdeevka becomes part of the Russian Federation will have adverse repercussions for Ukrainians.

In the event that Ukraine needs to fortify the Avdeevka front, it will necessitate relocating some of the forces currently engaged in the south of Orekhovo. This, in turn, will further diminish the prospects of achieving a breakthrough.

No, it is the 1st time.

Russia has accomplished its tactical goal of taking important local high point and applying pressure on the city itself.

The location is heavily reinforced with concrete after 7 years or so of fortification. But Russians have taken the place.

This article is just an attempt at damage control by claiming goals Russians did not set yet.

Russia doesn’t have to take the city. Supply lines are targetable by artillery. It is a perfect setup to bleed Ukrainian side if they want to keep the city.

Ukraine is set to loose either way: if they want to keep the city, they will loose lots of people. If they abandon, it’s a black eye.

Given what Zelensky did last winter, he will keep the city and send lots of people into meat grinder half of which will die trying to reach the city.

LUKS2 disc encryption with BTRFS is perfect for laptops.

It is supported by archinstall.

Install Manjaro on VM, see how they did it. Then install Arch with the same packages. It is best if you have life example. That’s how I matched my 1st Arch.

These days there’s archinstall script on standard Arch install image. It supports LUKS 2 disc encryption and BTRFS root. If you save your configuration and load it, then retry attempts take no time. Saving configuration is best done to a separate USB stick.

As far as maintenance. It is near zero cost. Check website for warnings then

 pacman -Syu

While officially yay is not supported, it is a great tool to keep AUR packages up to date. These days it updates system prior to running AUR updates.

Manjaro breaks more often than Arch, but as a 1st time OS is great.
