Taras Kuzio, "Russia’s self-defeating invasion: Why Vladimir Putin has lost Ukraine forever" https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/russias-self-defeating-invasion-why-vladimir-putin-has-lost-ukraine-forever/
«Ukrainians are now less inclined to differentiate between the Kremlin and ordinary Russians. Following the invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine in 2014, a majority of Ukrainians blamed Russia’s leadership. However, they now overwhelmingly hold both the Kremlin and the Russian people responsible for the current invasion. As a consequence, the number of Ukrainians who express positive views of Russians has plummeted from 47% in 2018 to just 3% today.
This collapse in positive attitudes toward ordinary Russians is not difficult to explain. Everything from polling data to anecdotal evidence demonstrates overwhelming Russian public support for the invasion of Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians with relatives in Russia have personal experience of their family members either applauding the war or accusing them of lying about the horrors of the invasion.»
I wasn't aware how much this aspect of the war – firm divisions inside families – contributes to a strengthening of a unique personal and national Ukrainian identity. This form of "identity building" seems problematic to me.
(I prefer the form of "identity building" that rests on the acknowledgement of what one has in common instead of what separates one from others.)

Anders Åslund, "Europe can win Putin’s gas war but must learn Nord Stream lessons" https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/europe-can-win-putins-gas-war-but-must-learn-nord-stream-lessons/
[Some shrill warmongering rhetoric but otherwise good historical points on the development of Europe's dependency on Russian oil and gas deliveries. Most interesting: How Germany switched sides.]

What a marvelous dome painting! The interplay of subject, colours, and light is perfect. Magnificent photo. https://gnusocial.net/attachment/34a74247cc45ffc97b680408ba54d809981eabbe1f3bf3f6a5bd870323e7483b/view -

Enjoy your stay with grandkids and family. You sound upbeat, curiously distanced, and gently amused at the same time. Like a nice granddad should. -

I find the monthly reminder a nice compromise of nudging without being too intrusive. Has its impact on me ;-) -

If I may ask: How many gs.net users are there currently? -

So prior before this upload problem and fix, thumbnails have been counted in a user's quota? And given the trick by notabug they're now no longer counted in it? Interesting.
Please keep us users posted when hardware purchases for the server (e.g., larger disk) is coming up and requires a new round of fundraising.

... so, when you say "I've deleted almost 7GB of global thumbnails", does this point to the possibility that not an individual user cache (mine) but that of the overall cache, i.e., that of gs.net, reached a limit. But of so, then why should only I experience the issue? (Perhaps other people don't upload so many jpgs?) Interesting.
Anyway, thank you for your magic. -

"Right now, I'm now sure if they eat" or "Right now, I'm not sure if they eat"? I don't quite follow. -

Still the same error message "A file this large would exceed your user quota of 150000000 bytes." and no way to upload image files.
BTW: Why is that when links are uploaded (say, to a news article) the images of that source most often get uploaded? True, I don't technically "attach" them, but they come with the article that I link to. Wouldn't that eat into the upload quota too? And if not, why not? -

Yep, even more to the right than Boris Johnson and definitely more disciplined and "competent" (i.e., brutal). Like a Farage only without the nuts and overt narcissism. @andyc -
