  • I guess this is countered by Ukraine repeatedly hitting their refineries

    Here’s an infographic dated May 8th. The oil barrel in the bottom left shows the theoretical maximum impact of strikes if they somehow took all refineries they hit offline completely.

    Ukraine is pretty good at targeting the right units when they hit a refinery, but it’s not perfect. Either way looking at economic output sources Russia made half as much money from oil last year as 2022, and the refinery strikes are picking up speed. Tuapse was a giant hit to them. Ukraine hit it 5 times in a row… Most of Russia’s biggest oil refineries feeding Europe have been hit repeatedly by long range drones.

    Edit: clarity and structure.

    I’m going to take this opportunity to soapbox about YouTube Morphe

    If you’re an android user, it’s the replacement for revanced. All the devs left revanced after a falling out with the lead maintainer so they hard forked revanced into morphe. Now it gets daily updates and is leagues ahead of revanced, where it gets the vast majority of dev attention.

    Revanced is maintained by one angry guy now. People want to help but can’t deal with his attitude so he gets piecemeal PRs. He’s taken to stealing code from morphe without attribution, so the morphe team (unwisely IMO) DMCA’d revanced. It’s why there’s been no development for over a month. He can’t steal code (including typos lol) without violating the cease and desist.

    If nothing changes revanced is going to be abandonware soon… It doesn’t have the dev attention morphe gets, and donations are moving to morphe now too…

    There’s also a whole rant about how that lead dev for revanced is the main mod on the subreddit and bans anyone for saying “Morphe” “Morpheus” “M” .etc

    Yes, saying “M” will get you permanently banned from there…

    Clicksprings antikythra mechanism series is a fantastic deep dive into ancient Hellenic engineering, tool making, and manufacturing. He covers period accurate methods and tools, and constructs the entire thing using the same tools and techniques the original designer would have used.

    For reference, he’s an Australian clockmaker, so the antikythra mechanism is kind of a masterpiece he’s been working on for a long time. His custom made grandfather clock was another good one to watch if you need more.
