It’s remarkably awkard to find centos stream containers. I wonder if anyone is using them

Do a bad job for the Fascists.

A post by laxsara: the meaning of life is summed up in the story elmer bendiner tells about how when he was a pilot the second world war, his plane was hit with a barrage of anti-aircraft fire from the nazi forces but the crew survived. and how everyone was saying it was a miracle until they investigated the shells that got in the fuselage and found there was no explosive charges in any of them. in one they found a note scribbled in czech, written by the person who had been forced to manufacture the shells, and it just said 'this is all we can do for you now. every time i see someone acting tough online about how harm reduction is pointless and in some convoluted way worse than doing nothing i think about that person in some soul-destroying nazi factory in occupied czechoslovakia removing all of the explosive charges from their anti-aircraft shells and writing a note that they must have known would probably never be read, just to say 'this is all we can do for you, and we're going to do it. they are trying to make us kill you and we refuse. i do think that maybe it's all going to be okay. 8,235 notes
