China strongly limits Russian access to tech in mech. engineering, aviation, and microelectronics.

Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage
Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit,
To thee I send this written embassage,

But that I hope some good conceit of thine
In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it:
Till whatsoever star that guides my moving,
Points on me graciously with fair a…

DAYNA: He isn't interested in offers. He doesn't want Federation help or any help. He just wants to be left alone.
SERVALAN: He can't be left alone. Surely you can see that. You have his affection, yes? He trusts you. Then all you do is go and tell him to do a deal with us.

TIL about a bit too much "new" (new to me) tech that I need to study: OpenNebula, Firecracker and Flatcar. They all seem amazing. How did I miss them for so long? 🤯😵

Le script fait 15k caractères, soit la taille d'un petit article MISC. Je voudrais bien deux relecteurs ou relectrices (un.e innocent.e et un.e spécialiste) afin de voir si c'est compréhensible et que je raconte pas trop de la merde.
Il a t-il des personnes qui auraient un peu de temps Š donner cette semaine ? 😍
EDIT: J'ai trouvé mes relecteurs/relectrices. Vous êtes formidables 💗
