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.
My motherland? Soviet Union occupied my country and killed, tortured and sent to Siberia tens of thousands of innocent people. Same tactics Russia is doing now in Ukraine. I still live in city where I was born. If Russians will invade again, I will never again live under Russian bastards, have had enough of that, death is better choice.
Will not comment other bullshit you are commenting.
i can see the war they are fighting against this evil forces.
Yes, have read that Putin is also our only hope against Reptilian aliens.
Bye, troll, I have no time for this, need to do also some actual work.
You can cite legitimate sources and also give links, not some unknown website?
Yes, it is known there was some atrocities between Polish and Ukrainians back in a day, from both sides, both after WWI and during WWII. But it has changed nowadays, Russia is common threat for both Ukraine and Poland. And other countries in the region. People have learned from history, Russians exploited divide et impera principle in the past, it will not happen this time.
Stepan Bandera was never member of Gestapo, as it's written in that article. He was actually arrested by Gestapo at one point.
I was born in Soviet Union, I know Russians well. You don't need mass media to get information, full Internet of videos and other info from Russian sources. And a lot of crazy terrible things don't surprise me, as big part of them is the same as was told by my relatives as kid about Soviet army during WWII.
If Ukraine capitulates, there will be no Ukrainians, there will be genocide against them. Russian propaganda shows in TV discuss that openly nowadays (I speak Russian, so can listen to the source). It makes sense to fight war if you will be destroyed after surrender.
And how Ukraine is terrorist state? Russia is terrorist state! Ukraine does not bomb hospitals, kindergartens and shopping malls in Russia regularly, they attack legitimate military targets. But Russians did that in Chechnya, in Syria, now they are doing that in Ukraine. Terror is the way they fight for centuries, nothing new.
Both Poroshenko and Zelensky become presidents through democratic elections. Zelensky is not dictator, new elections during the war is against constitution of Ukraine. Was Churchill also dictator during WWII?
What Polish part? There aren't such thing. And Poland is big supporter of Ukraine.
What Russian part? Kharkhiv, Mariupol? I know people from there, they don't identify themselves as Russians, majority there are / was Russian speaking Ukrainians. Same as English speaking Irish people are not English.
Hungarian speaking region is the only one that could be debatable.
Have you read articles about mobilization in Russia? And how they treat their own soldiers?
Even the worst propaganda that you could have read about Ukraine is better than what's happening in Russia. Believe me, I still have old friends there.
