The Baltic country replaced all the train lines Russia uses
No, it hasn't been done. You can do that so fast. You need not only replace all the tracks, also buy completely new rolling stock. Which somebody needs to produce, nobody keeps bunch of trains in warehouses, they are manufactured on demand for specific customer needs.
I have read some super interesting things going on in the Baltic like how they have ripped and replaced their existing train lines with the EU standard.
Where did you read such bullshit? There is plan in some far future to standardize railway gauge in all EU to 1435 mm, but that includes not only replacing 1520 mm in Latvia and Lithuania, but also 1524 mm in Estonia and Finland, 1600 mm in Ireland (sounds stupid, why to replace anything on an island) and 1668 mm in Spain and Portugal.
Only active project regarding 1435 mm currently ongoing is Rail Baltica, but that's nowhere near completion (will connect Tallinn to Warsaw) and has big funding problems (due to costs rising multiple times, as it always happens with big government projects).
Btw, before World War II both 1520 mm and 1435 mm tracks were operational in Latvia in parallel, but 1435 mm got demolished by Soviet Union. Back then you could go with a single train from Riga to Paris ("Nord Express").
But, yes, Russia is very dependent on railroads for logistics. Even before full scale invasion into Ukraine began, lot of experts ananlyzed that biggest problem for Russia could be not enough trucks, not not enough tanks. Good that Latvia have already demolished some rail lines going to Russia that wasn't in active use anymore, only single line to Russia and single line to Belarus are left (used for cargo only).
Depends on amount of RAM you have and other settings (like
dbcache, especially important during IBD).IBD took an entire month, whereas same hardware 3 years ago IBD took 3 days. IMO, UTXO bloat is the main technical issue
If you do full IBD, UTXO size is not the main issue for you, you anyway fully process all the blocks after

Yes, probably should have changed title to "Bitcoin Core 29.1 tagged" or something like that.
Guess it's time to rewatch classic film. :) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3381008/
Such things have happened. Both with own goals and also when you win by scoring a penalty shot, as it doesn't count in statistics as a shot.
