This is a long video but I wanted to compare in detail how is living in a motorhome comparing with renting or owning a place. From costs to lifestyle: comfort, resources, toilet, space, etc.. The focus is on Spain since this is where I lived for the past many years.
I hope this video is useful for some.
I just wanted to make a post in appreciation of the beautiful experience of running Linux on a Thinkpad as a main system. I picked up my X1 Extreme 2nd gen (now known as the P1) in 2019 and never even booted its Windows OS. Pop!_OS went into it immediately and it has only let me down once (grub screw up that was relatively easy to fix). I'm looking at this system that has been in constant use for almost seven years and I just cannot find a reason to upgrade to the P1. It's just flawless.
Linux on a Thinkpad is the ultimate workhorse IMHO.

Does anyone know how I can set a keyboard shortcut to open a selected file in a particular application?
For example, how can I have .html files set to open in a text editor by default, but set a keyboard shortcut to open one in Firefox if it's selected?
I'm using the Nautilus file manager in GNOME 48 on Debian 13

Ignore the idiot posting about this RAT.
If you want to secure your Linux system, use ClamAV, a local firewall like UFW or even opensnitch for a start. Also use your head when adding apps to your system. Stick to the official repos from your distro. Things like Arch's AUR, random PPAs in Ubuntu and any random github project are going to be much riskier by their very nature so act accordingly.
If you need to risky stuff, do it a VM and network that guest into a private internal network that can only exit over a companion PFSense VM that is dual homed to the regular LAN and the private internal network. Take a snapshot of the risky guest before you use it in a session and when you are done, roll back to your clean snapshot.
Store your passwords in something like Keepass(strong master password!) and then use syncthing to push copies of the database to at least one other box locally or in the cloud if you really have to.
It's not about AV. It's about vulnerabilities.
AV just uses (often multiple) vulns to do something, and with closed-source systems you can't fix it yourself, so you need an application to do it for you.
AV is a block-list approach... always needs updating, even for things you don't have. Linux can operate with allow-lists, so only the apps you have can execute.
Plus firewalls (outbound as well as inbound), SSH, secure package repos, etc.
You don't need AV, but, you can have it if you want it (maybe file-less memoey resident stuff)
But, yeah, that other post was just mayhem.

Successfully executing a construction project in mountainous terrain is a complex equation where logistics, environment, and efficiency intersect. One of the most critical variables in this equation is the on-site production of concrete. Simply deciding to use a mobile concrete plant is just the first step. The real engineering challenge—and the key to profitability and project flow—lies in its precise capacity configuration. Choosing incorrectly can lead to crippling bottlenecks or wasteful overspending. Therefore, understanding how to "speak the language" of project parameters to select the right plant setup is paramount for project managers and engineers working in these demanding landscapes.
Mountainous projects present a unique cluster of constraints that directly dictate concrete plant requirements. It's not merely about high altitude; it's about the compounded effects of limited space, winding and poor-quality access roads, volatile weather, and often, a heightened environmental sensitivity. A stationary plant is typically impractical, making a mobile concrete plant the default choice. However, the generic mobile concrete plant price(planta de concreto móvil precio) you see in a brochure becomes irrelevant until it's evaluated against your specific site's "parameter profile." The initial capital expenditure must be justified by operational efficiency gains and risk mitigation unique to the mountains.
Configuring your mobile batching setup requires a forensic analysis of several key project parameters:
Translating these parameters into a technical specification requires moving from general needs to specific plant features. The goal is to find the optimal point where capability meets economy, balancing the concrete plant price(planta de concreto precio) with long-term project value.
A common mistake is equating a higher price tag with better suitability. A larger, more expensive mobile concrete plant might boast a 120 m³/hr output, but if your project's peak daily demand, factoring in realistic batching and pouring times, is only 400 m³, a smaller, more agile 60 m³/hr plant could meet the demand over a slightly longer workday at a significantly lower mobile concrete plant price. The calculation must be based on average and peak demand, not theoretical maximums. For many linear projects like mountain roads, a small concrete plant with a 30-50 m³/hr capacity, easily leapfrogged along the route, is often the most logical and cost-effective solution.
In mountainous regions, the small concrete plant is frequently the unsung hero. Its advantages are pronounced:
* Mobility & Setup Speed: It can be transported in fewer loads and assembled on precarious, limited platforms where a larger plant cannot fit.
* Lower Operational Cost: It consumes less power, requires smaller material deliveries that match tight road logistics, and often needs a smaller crew to operate.
* Adaptability: It can efficiently serve multiple, dispersed smaller sites (e.g., avalanche shelters, viewpoint platforms, small bridge abutments) from a single base, maximizing its utility.
While the upfront concrete plant price for a small model is attractive, its true value is unlocked in the reduced costs of mobilization, site preparation, and daily logistics.
The decision-making process must extend far beyond comparing the initial mobile concrete plant price from different suppliers. A holistic Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis for the project duration is essential.
Choosing a plant with too little capacity leads to "production bottlenecks." The costs here are massive: idle labor, idle equipment (cranes, pumps), missed schedule milestones with potential liquidated damages, and extended project overhead. Conversely, a plant with excessive capacity ties up excessive capital (a higher mobile concrete plant price), incurs higher fuel and maintenance costs, and may require expensive site modifications to accommodate it, negating any perceived benefit.
The right configuration also minimizes environmental impact—a crucial factor in ecologically sensitive mountains. A properly sized small concrete plant(planta de concreto pequeña) has a smaller physical footprint, reduces the number of heavy truck trips on fragile access roads, and, with efficient dust and water management systems, better protects the local ecosystem. This isn't just good ethics; it's good risk management, helping avoid regulatory delays and community opposition.
Ultimately, configuring a mobile concrete plant for a mountainous project is a strategic optimization exercise. It begins with a dispassionate analysis of your project's specific parameters: volume, space, logistics, and schedule. This analysis will point you toward a necessary capacity range. Within that range, you then evaluate options, where the concrete plant price becomes one of several key financial factors, alongside operational efficiency, mobility, and reliability.
The final, often-overlooked parameter is the supplier's expertise. A partner who understands mountainous projects can provide invaluable guidance, ensuring the plant is not just a piece of equipment, but a integrated system tailored to your site's language of constraints. They can help you interpret your parameters into a configuration that speaks the language of efficiency, cost-control, and success in the world's most challenging terrains. Investing time in this precise configuration process ensures your mobile concrete plant becomes a powerful voice for project fluency, not a source of costly miscommunication.

I was testing out automatic disk decryption with the TPM and secure boot in a Qemu/KVM VM. I had Arch set up with a UKI, I followed this process to enable secure boot and enroll the keys which all worked fine. I then used systemd-cryptenroll to unlock the drive automatically which again worked great.
This is the part where I then messed up and I'm not quite sure how or why. I wanted to check that disabling secure boot prevented unlocking of the drive, so I enabled the boot menu in the VM settings, entered it and reset the secure boot settings. As expected I then needed to enter the password again. I then wanted to re-enable it so I re-ran sbctl enroll-keys -m to re-enroll the keys, and rebooted as my UKI was already signed. And that was that, VM completely dead. No matter whether I try to boot from the virtual disk, the virtual CD drive, or even the virtual network adapter all I get is a black screen with "Display output is not active". I can't even enter the firmware menu again because I no longer get that prompt.
It doesn't matter that this happened and I don't need to fix it because it was just a throwaway VM which I've now deleted, but I would like to know what caused it so I can avoid potentially bricking real hardware in the future

Solution ignore all economic factors and focus on the human. Put a bullet in the head of those producing CSAM and move on from masturbatory hypotheticals.
The only thing that matters there is protecting the vulnerable from harm.
With that kind of thinking you could win the war on drugs. Wait, no, you can't. Economics matters to adults. Children value and act on their emotions over reality. Children will never win a war against the economic realities they unknowingly make. Your solution is to get more caveman. Get more caveman and lose more. And actually, we all lose. There will be more CP produced because you don't want to think. You want to act on emotions.
There was no commercially viable production of CP until we made it illegal. It practically didn't exist until one guy did it, and put it on a 90s style file share. And everyone hated it. And that one singular film would have been moderated off of every place on the internet we don't want it, which is 99.9% of places. It would have been a one off. But in response to a single film we added a reactive policy. Then there was commercial production of CP. Now if we were to legalize it, it would be everywhere because of all of the content that was produced because of our policy can't be uncreated.
It was already illegal to do the physical acts in the film. Prior to the policy no one would be stupid enough to film their crime and publish it without an economic incentive. But now the incentive exists because D = CV*min(1,FR/FV)-CR. Each of those letter pairings is a distribution. Respectively, perceived value of commercially available media, perceived risk of accessing freely available media, perceived value of freely available media, and perceived risk of accessing commercially available media. Because the resulting distribution of min(1,FR/FV) is uniformly zero when you don't criminalize unpatronized exchange, there is no market until you do that. Copyrighted media uses the same formula, but there CR is zero. FYI, a distribution minus a distribution always has a positive component. So no amout of raising CR will solve the problem. That's why you can't win the war on drugs. There it is just D=CV-CR. The min(1,FR/FV) term is called the window of coordination and applies to media exchanges. It sets how much a media exchange behaves like a commodity. Since drugs are a commodity that term is just 1.
There is no where in the formula to encode if the production was harmful to someone, or if it offends you, or isn't eligible for copyright status, or what the intention of the law was. Because economic laws work the same way if you are offended or not.
You are an adult, and you are trying to protect children. So be an adult and do what children can't do. Think critically. We have responsibilities as adults to do that. Or we are children ourselves.

My company's buyout has been completed, and their IT team is in the final stages of gutting our old systems and moving us on to all their infra.
Sadly, this means all my Linux and FOSS implementations I've worked on for the last year are getting shut down and ripped out this week. (They're all 100% Microsoft and proprietary junk at the new company)
I know it's dumb to feel sad about computers and software getting shut down, but it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.
That's the nature of a corpo takeover though. Just wanted to let off some steam to some folks here who I know would understand.
FOSS forever! ✊
Edit: Thanks, everybody so much for the kind words and advice!
Edit: oops. This is old. Hope you're OK and things improved.
You're grieving for what you built. It's good to take pride and push for better. However, you don't own it. They pay for your time and your expertise. Love your skills and the learning. If the environment stops being right for you, plot your escape at a time that suits. Companies make shit decisions, they have and always will. They sometimes lead you to believe you have influence while it benefits then with your commitment/engagement. When that no longer suits, its the end.
What you feel is valid, it's good you have standards and care. It's now time to understand work is generally an exploitative relationship. Protect yourself and understand you're being used. Find a situation where being used feels good for now and good for your bank balance.

#nodevmeber is an online initiative to bring people together and create all sorts of cool things with nodes.
I have been participating in this event since it was started in 2019, focussing mainly on shading nodes. This year I want to take the opportunity and use mainly the newly revamped geometry nodes system, that I have also been involved with developing at the Blender headquarters.
This will not be the most organised workflow in terms of teaching, so bear that in mind, but I hope we can just use this as a means to learn together, so ask plenty of questions. Suggestions are always welcome! 😀

The Devil Knows My Name is a dark country blues stomp driven by heavy rhythm, gritty male vocals, and raw outlaw energy.
This song captures a late-night bar atmosphere where blues runs deep, boots hit the floor, and the darkness feels familiar - but never in control.
Blending dark country, blues stomp, and outlaw western groove, this track is built to move bodies and tell a story at the same time.
It’s not about selling your soul — it’s about knowing who you are when the night gets loud and the choices get real.

در این عصر سیاه که تمام مردم ایران، زیر بار جور و ستم حکومت له میشویم؛ بسیاری به دنبال منجی میگردند تا این بار را از شانههایشان بردارد. پدری مهربان که بگوید دیگر بس است. شاهی دادگر و توانمند که زندگیمان را زیر و زبر کند، با تدبیر حکم براند و تا پایان عمر بر مسند شاهنشاهی تکیه زده و سپس ما را به دست شاهزادهای تربیت شده بسپارد. میخواهم سرم در لاک خود باشد. به جای سیاست و اضطراب، وقف علایقم باشم.
میخواهم خدایی نیز باشد. خدایی که دوست قادر، مهربان و محافظ است. آن که در پریشانحالی پشتمان باشد و ما را از سختی عبور دهد. همان خدا که از ما دربرابر اشرار حفاظت کند. همان که سایهاش شاه میهن است. میخواهم به وقت گیجی و تردید استخاره بگیرم تا بهترین راه برایم روشن شود. دعا کنم و مستجاب شود.
اما نمیشود. احتمالاً هیچ خدایی نیست و هیچ اربابی دلسوز ما نیست. آنچه که گفتم و خواستم، زیاده آرمانیست. آری، آرمانی این است؛ نه آن که برده باشیم و قدرت فرادستی پرستارمان باشد. سالهاست که میگویند اندیشههای سوسیالیستی و آنارشیستی اگرچه زیباست اما ایدهآل و ناممکن است. آنچه که ایدهآل و ناممکن است سلطه و استبداد است. سلطه و استبداد است که خلق را مجبور به خیزش میکند. سلطه انسان را به میدان میکِشد تا زمین را خون خود سرخ کند. تاریخ چند دیکتاتور اصلح به خود دیده است؟ چند دیکتاتور اصلح و شاه لایق، جانشینان اصلح و لایق داشتند؟ انوشیروان دادگر چگونه دادگر شد؟ با ریختن خون هزاران مزدکی لقب دادگر را از موبدانی گرفت که هیچ کم از آیتاللهها نداشتند. میگویند ذات انسان خودخواه و رقابتطلب است؛ اما نمیگویند که انسانها هزاران سال در قبایل بدوی همانطور زیستند و میزیند که نزدیک به ایدهآل است.
آنچه که ما به آنارشیسم میشناسیم، تعمیق همان دموکراسی است. میگویند دموکراسی مناسب مردم این منطقه نیست. مگر میشود حق تعیین سرنوشت که از حقوق اساسی بشر است؛ برای کسی مناسب نباشد؟ گیریم که چنین باشد، مگر کم مثال نقض داریم؟ همین سوریه که در آتش بنیادگرایی اسلامی و منافع قدرتها میسوزد، روژاوایی در خود دارد که از حیث دموکراسی بینظیر است. بسیار دموکراتیکتر از دموکراسیهای پوشالی که تعیین سرنوشت به دست الیگارشهاست!
اگر داشتن چوپان و شانه خالی کردن از مسئولیت اجتماعی در نیمنگاه اول شاید مناسب و آسان باشد؛ حتی اگر شدنی باشد نیز هزینهای دارد و آن هم انسان آزاد بودن است. چگونه میتوان انسان و آزاد بود در حالی که عنان سرنوشت در دست دیگری است؟
ما دموکراسی میخواهیم. دموکراسی یعنی در صورت نارضایتی، پای صندوق رأی برویم نه جلوی گلوله. ما دموکراسی میخواهیم، آن هم دموکراسی ناب و آن هم در همهٔ عرصهها. آن که خرمن زر دارد، زور هم دارد و میتواند آرام بخزد روی اصول دموکراسی و آن را از بین ببرد.
ما محکومیم به فکر و عمل. نمیدانم اگر جز این بشود زیست انسانی داشت. نباید به فاشیسم فرصت دوبارهٔ عرض اندام داد. اکنون وقت گفتن از دموکراسی و ایستادن جلوی لشکری است سلاح دروغ و فریب در دست دارد و با ترس تغذیه میشد. بیایید زنجیرهای بردگی را بشکنیم. سیمرغی نیست. سیمرغ، ما سی مرغیم.

La plataforma de crowdfunding inmobiliario 100 Ladrillos ha estado generando un intenso debate entre los usuarios de redes sociales, especialmente en foros como Reddit. Este modelo innovador busca democratizar la inversión en bienes raíces en México, permitiendo a los participantes adquirir "ladrillos", que son fracciones de propiedades de alto valor.
Las opiniones sobre 100 Ladrillos varían, reflejando tanto entusiasmo como escepticismo. Por un lado, muchos usuarios aprecian la accesibilidad que ofrece la plataforma. Con inversiones iniciales que empiezan desde dos mil pesos, se presenta como una opción viable para quienes desean entrar en el mercado inmobiliario sin los altos costos asociados a la compra de un inmueble completo.
Los defensores del modelo destacan la transparencia del proceso, que incluye la gestión de inversiones a través de fideicomisos. Este enfoque asegura que las propiedades estén debidamente administradas y que los inversionistas reciban ingresos de forma ordenada y confiable. Muchos mencionan que la regulación bajo la Ley Fintech también brinda tranquilidad, ya que garantiza un marco legal para las operaciones de la plataforma.
Sin embargo, no todas las opiniones son positivas. Algunos usuarios expresan preocupaciones sobre los riesgos inherentes al invertir en bienes raíces de manera fraccionada. Señalan que, aunque la diversificación es una ventaja, también puede diluir el control que un inversionista tiene sobre su patrimonio. Existen quienes sugieren que, a largo plazo, la rentabilidad podría no ser tan alta como en la inversión inmobiliaria tradicional.
Además, hay quienes cuestionan la experiencia del equipo de gestión y la selección de proyectos. La calidad de los inmuebles y su capacidad para generar ingresos son factores críticos que los inversionistas deben considerar, y algunos usuarios opinan que la comunicación con la plataforma podría mejorarse para abordar sus inquietudes.
Si necesitas más información sobre el tema, o tienes una pregunta, puedes visitar reddit y preguntar lo que necesites.

La plataforma 100 Ladrillos ha emergido como una solución innovadora en el ámbito del crowdfunding inmobiliario, facilitando a los mexicanos la oportunidad de invertir en propiedades de manera accesible y segura. Según lo expuesto en inmobiliare, este modelo permite que cualquier persona, independientemente de su capital inicial, pueda participar en el mercado inmobiliario sin complicaciones.
Desde su creación en 2019, 100 Ladrillos ha implementado un sistema de fondeo colectivo que divide el costo de las propiedades en "ladrillos". Esto significa que los inversionistas pueden adquirir participaciones que van desde dos mil pesos, haciendo posible la inversión en activos que, de otro modo, serían inalcanzables. Esta democratización de la inversión responde a un deseo creciente de involucrar a más ciudadanos en el sector de bienes raíces.
Los productos ofrecidos por 100 Ladrillos se dividen en dos categorías: ladrillos de propiedades en pre-venta, donde los inversionistas pueden obtener descuentos por inversiones anticipadas en proyectos en desarrollo, y ladrillos de propiedades en venta, correspondientes a inmuebles que ya generan ingresos. Esta variedad de opciones amplía las oportunidades de inversión, permitiendo a los usuarios elegir según sus necesidades financieras y expectativas.
La seguridad de la inversión es un aspecto esencial que resalta en el análisis de inmobiliare. Las propiedades adquiridas a través de 100 Ladrillos son escrituradas en fideicomisos, lo que otorga una capa adicional de protección a los inversionistas. De este modo, el cumplimiento de los objetivos de inversión es monitorizado por instituciones financieras que actúan como fiduciarios.
Con su creciente portafolio de propiedades y del respaldo regulatorio de la Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV), 100 Ladrillos se posiciona como una alternativa robusta para quienes buscan diversificar su inversión. Este modelo ha encontrado aceptación en diversas regiones de México, incluyendo la Ciudad de México, Monterrey y Jalisco, además de expandirse a mercados internacionales como Houston, Texas.

La web udgtv presenta un detallado análisis sobre 100 Ladrillos, una plataforma de crowdfunding inmobiliario que permite a los usuarios invertir en bienes raíces de manera accesible y digital. Este modelo de inversión ha ganado popularidad al ofrecer la posibilidad de adquirir participación en propiedades sin necesidad de realizar desembolsos de capital elevados.
100 Ladrillos opera promoviendo la democratización de la inversión inmobiliaria. Los usuarios pueden comprar "ladrillos", que representan fracciones de propiedades en desarrollo o ya terminadas. Esta metodología no solo facilita a los inversores diversificar su portafolio, sino que también les permite participar en proyectos que, de otro modo, serían inalcanzables.
La plataforma ofrece dos modalidades: los ladrillos en pre-venta y los ladrillos en venta. Los primeros permiten a los usuarios invertir en proyectos en construcción con precios promocionales, mientras que los segundos se centran en propiedades que ya generan ingresos. Esta flexibilidad es una de las características más valiosas de 100 Ladrillos, ya que se adapta a las diferentes necesidades y objetivos de inversión de los usuarios.
En el contexto actual, donde la búsqueda de inversión segura es crucial, 100 Ladrillos se destaca por su cumplimiento con las regulaciones financieras. Esto fortalece la confianza del inversor, al garantizar que las operaciones se realicen bajo un marco legal seguro. A través de udgtv.com, los interesados pueden encontrar un análisis que resalta cómo esta plataforma no solo proporciona oportunidades de inversión, sino que también contribuye a la creciente tendencia de inversión colectiva en bienes raíces.
La idea de que cualquier persona pueda participar en el mercado inmobiliario se fortalece con la propuesta de valor de 100 Ladrillos. Esto no solo representa una oportunidad para los inversionistas, sino también un cambio en el paradigma tradicional de la inversión, haciéndola más inclusiva y accesible para todos.

La plataforma 100ladrillos ofrece un modelo accesible para la inversión en bienes raíces, permitiendo a los usuarios invertir en propiedades de manera digital y en cualquier momento del día. Su enfoque se centra en la democratización del acceso a este tipo de inversiones, facilitando la participación de inversionistas de diferentes perfiles económicos.
En 100ladrillos, los inversionistas tienen la opción de adquirir "ladrillos", que representan una participación en proyectos inmobiliarios. La plataforma distingue entre dos modalidades: ladrillos en pre-venta, que son inversiones anticipadas en proyectos en construcción, y ladrillos en venta, que corresponden a propiedades ya finalizadas que están generando ingresos. Esto proporciona flexibilidad y oportunidades diversas para quienes buscan aumentar su patrimonio.
La selección de propiedades se realiza con un riguroso proceso de evaluación, garantizando que solo se ofrezcan proyectos viables en términos de rentabilidad y legalidad. Antes de ser publicados, todos los proyectos son validados para minimizar los riesgos para los inversionistas, lo que genera confianza en los fondos colocados.
El modelo de financiamiento colectivo permite a los inversionistas participar en el desarrollo y gestión de los proyectos inmobiliarios. Durante la fase inicial de financiamiento, se establece un monto mínimo necesario para llevar adelante el proyecto. Si este objetivo no se alcanza, se reembolsa el dinero a los participantes, asegurando así la protección de su inversión.
Una vez que un proyecto está en marcha y se completan las obras, los inmuebles se aportan a un fideicomiso. Este fideicomiso se encarga de administrar la propiedad, maximizar su potencial de rendimiento y gestionar los ingresos generados por rentas. Los inversionistas pueden ver sus ganancias y rendimientos a través de la plataforma, lo que facilita una gestión transparente y eficiente de sus activos.
Además, 100ladrillos permite la venta de ladrillos en un mercado secundario, brindando a los inversionistas la oportunidad de diversificar su portfolio sin complicaciones burocráticas. Todo el proceso es completamente en línea, lo que simplifica la experiencia de inversión, eliminando costos adicionales como notarios o trámites legales.

La web empresariosydirigentes ofrece un análisis detallado sobre 100 Ladrillos, una plataforma mexicana de inversión inmobiliaria fraccionada. Este modelo permite a los usuarios participar en proyectos inmobiliarios sin necesidad de adquirir propiedades enteras, lo que lo convierte en una alternativa accesible para una amplia gama de inversionistas.
A través de su sencilla interfaz, 100 Ladrillos permite a los usuarios registrarse y explorar diversas oportunidades de inversión. Los proyectos disponibles están cuidadosamente seleccionados, y los datos sobre su rendimiento potencial son presentados de forma clara. Esto facilita que incluso aquellos con poca experiencia en el sector inmobiliario comprendan los beneficios y riesgos asociados a sus inversiones.
Una de las características destacadas de 100 Ladrillos es su enfoque en democratizar el acceso a la inversión inmobiliaria. Tradicionalmente, el mercado de bienes raíces ha estado reservado para individuos con grandes capitales. Sin embargo, mediante una inversión fraccionada, los usuarios pueden poner en común recursos para participar en proyectos con una inversión mínima. Este enfoque promueve la diversificación, ya que los inversionistas pueden destinar su capital a múltiples proyectos en lugar de concentrarse en uno solo.

thanks! Works great! aaand I am running COSMIC in a VM 😃Fedora Discussion
Is there a daemon that will kill any processes using above a specified % of CPU? I'm having issues where a system is sometimes grinding to a halt due to high CPU usage. I'm not sure what process is doing it (can't htop as system is frozen); ideally I'd like a daemon that automatically kills processes using more than a given % of CPU, and then logs what process it was for me to look back on later. Alternatively something that just logs processes that use a given % of CPU so that I may look back on it after restarting the system.
The system is being used as a server so it's unattended a lot of the time; it's not a situation where I did something on the computer and then CPU usage went up.
Edit: Thanks to the comments pointing out it might be a memory leak instead of CPU usage that's the issue. I've set up earlyoom which seems to have diagnosed the problem as a clamd memory leak. I've been running clamd on the server for ages without problems so might be the result of an update; I've disabled it for now, and will keep monitoring the situation to see if earlyoom catches anything else, or if the problem keeps occurring I'll try some of the other tools people have suggested.
The kernel has a way to assign resources to each and every process, try to google for "Linux kernel limits" or "linux cgroup cpu limit".
The problem is knowing which process cause the load, but if you cannot even htop, then I doubt a daemon could do something.
if you cannot even htop, then I doubt a daemon could do something.
The point is that a daemon can catch it before it reaches that point by killing processes that are using too much resources, before all the system resources are used up.
True only if the resource hog process grows progressively, else the daemon is in the same situation and the kernel limits are the only way since it stops the process before.
But yes, a daemon could be an interesting solution
We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires. Climate change? Who cares!
A one-marble world, floating in a giant soup of stars and planets, clustered in donut-shaped galaxies.
What are these humans living for?
In a 5 hour, 4 parts documentary, we try to explore their world, to understand what makes them human, what makes them enslave their kind, destroy their habitat, and be unaware of their place in this universe. But also what makes them so special.
Through the lives of 5 humans, we look at the culture that creates them, their struggles growing up on this planet, and where they are headed toward.

Chumbawamba - On The Day The Nazi Died
We're told that after the war
The Nazis vanished without a trace
But the Italians are facist
Still dream of a master race
The history books they tell
Of their defeat at '45
But they all came out of the woodwork
On the day the Nazi died
They say the prisoner at Spandau
Was a symbol of defeat
Whilst Hess remained imprisoned
And the facists; they were beat
So the promise of an Aryan world
Would never materialize
So why did they all come out of the woodwork
On the day the Nazi died
The world is riddled with maggots
The maggots are getting fat
They're making a tasty meal of all
The bosses and bureaucrats
They're taking over the boardrooms
And they're fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork
On the day the Nazi died
So if you meet with these historians
I'll tell you what to say
Tell them that the Nazis
Never really went away
They're out there burning houses down
And peddling racist lies
And we'll never rest again...
Until every Nazi dies...

The olive industry generates substantial biomass beyond oil and table fruit. Pruning residues, olive pits, pomace, and wastewater solids accumulate annually, often treated as disposal burdens rather than productive assets. Converting these streams into biochar restructures the economic logic of olive cultivation, transforming residual biomass into a scalable value engine anchored in material efficiency and carbon permanence.
Olive biomass is chemically distinctive. Olive wood and pits exhibit high lignin content and dense cellular architecture, while pomace contains partially degraded organic matter enriched with minerals and residual lipids. These characteristics favor solid carbon formation during thermochemical conversion.
Unlike seasonal crop residues, olive pruning and processing byproducts follow predictable annual cycles. This temporal regularity supports stable feedstock planning and continuous plant utilization.
Traditional disposal pathways—open burning, land spreading, or landfill—are increasingly constrained by regulation. These constraints introduce costs without generating offsetting value. Biochar production reverses this dynamic by internalizing waste management into a revenue-generating process.
Olive-derived biomass responds favorably to slow pyrolysis. High lignin fractions promote char yield, while relatively low ash content preserves carbon purity. When processed in a properly engineered biomass pyrolysis plant, olive residues deliver consistent fixed carbon output with limited tar formation.
Olive pit biochar, in particular, exhibits high aromaticity and structural stability, attributes associated with long-term carbon persistence and premium market positioning.
Volatile gases released during pyrolysis can be recycled for process heat, reducing net energy demand. In integrated facilities, excess thermal energy may support drying of fresh biomass or auxiliary operations such as oil extraction, further improving system efficiency.
Applying olive-derived biochar within orchards closes a material loop. Biochar improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and increases nutrient use efficiency. These effects are particularly relevant in Mediterranean climates characterized by water scarcity and degraded soils.
Improved soil resilience reduces irrigation demand and mitigates yield volatility. The economic benefit manifests not as a single transaction, but as cumulative productivity gains over multiple growing seasons.
Pomace-derived biochar retains potassium, calcium, and micronutrients inherent to olive processing residues. When returned to the field, these nutrients are released gradually, reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers and lowering operating costs.
Beyond internal use, olive biochar can access external markets. Its low contaminant profile and high stability suit horticultural substrates, specialty compost blends, and soil rehabilitation projects.
Particle size control and surface activation enable differentiation. Rather than competing as a bulk amendment, olive biochar can be positioned as a functional input with traceable origin.
Biochar produced from agricultural residues qualifies for carbon removal frameworks in several voluntary markets. Olive biomass offers a compelling narrative: perennial agriculture, residue utilization, and long-lived carbon storage.
Revenue from carbon credits introduces a parallel income stream decoupled from agricultural commodity prices. This financial diversification stabilizes producer income.
Olive cultivation is often fragmented across small and medium producers. Cooperative biochar facilities aggregate biomass supply, achieving scale without centralizing land ownership.
Shared infrastructure reduces individual capital burden and enables access to advanced processing technology otherwise unattainable at farm scale.
Biochar production adds an industrial layer to predominantly agricultural regions. It creates skilled operational roles, stimulates equipment supply chains, and anchors economic activity locally.
This form of rural industrialization is asset-light and feedstock-secure, aligning with regional development objectives.
Olive residues typically carry low or negative cost due to disposal obligations. This asymmetry creates a favorable input margin. Transportation remains the primary variable cost, reinforcing the advantage of localized processing.
Profitability is driven less by throughput maximization than by product positioning. Selling undifferentiated char as fuel yields limited returns. Upgrading, certification, and targeted applications significantly expand margin potential.
Quality consistency and documentation become economic assets, not administrative overhead.
Moisture content and particle heterogeneity require preprocessing attention. Drying and size standardization improve reactor stability and product uniformity, reducing downtime and yield fluctuation.
Environmental compliance, particularly air emission control, must be integrated at the design stage. Projects that anticipate regulatory tightening avoid costly retrofits and preserve long-term viability.
Biochar integration alters the economic topology of the olive industry. Waste streams become feedstock. Soil improvement becomes capital investment. Carbon storage becomes monetizable output.
This pathway does not depend on yield expansion or land intensification. It extracts additional value from existing material flows, reinforcing resilience across environmental, agronomic, and financial dimensions. The olive industry’s route to prosperity, in this context, is not expansionary. It is integrative.
Understand the role of a biomass pyrolysis plant in eco-friendly practices, carbon removal, and efficient biomass recycling.Beston Group
Stepping into an unfamiliar dental practice stirs a peculiar mix of anticipation and unease. Even confident individuals find themselves mentally rehearsing: Will I have the right answers? Did I overlook some crucial document? Is my lack of preparation about to become glaringly obvious?
The actual requirements remain surprisingly manageable. Initial consultations flow smoothly when you arrive with a few essential items and modest forethought. Nothing elaborate—simply adequate information to help your oral health provider grasp your medical background and personal objectives. This guide identifies what genuinely warrants your attention beforehand, allowing you to approach the appointment with settled confidence.
This fundamental step proves surprisingly problematic in practice. Carry current identification and prepare to confirm your reachable details. Dental operations depend on accurate information for scheduling coordination, billing processes, and emergency contact requirements. Recent modifications to your residence, telephone service, or electronic address should be communicated immediately. This forestalls administrative tangles later.
When establishing care with a dentist at Clementi—perhaps identified through community recommendations or digital directories—anticipate standard intake documentation. Most facilities require completion of health history questionnaires. Having your particulars organized transforms this obligation from tedious obstruction to swift formality.
Physical containers need not accompany you unless preferred. Critical is precise knowledge of substances entering your system. This includes physician-prescribed treatments, over-the-counter preparations, and nutritional or herbal supplements. Document them if retention challenges you.
Pharmaceutical agents modify dental protocols in frequently underestimated ways. Anticoagulation therapies, skeletal strengthening agents, psychological stabilizers, and medications causing oral dryness all necessitate adjusted treatment approaches. Supplements carry comparable significance—specific varieties influence hemorrhagic tendencies or regenerative capacity.
Uncertain of exact nomenclature? Consult your mobile device or photograph packaging before departure. Estimation consumes valuable resources and introduces preventable hazards.
Compartmentalization tempts us: "This concerns my oral cavity, not my complete organism." Dental clinicians reject such boundaries, supported by robust physiological evidence. Glucose regulation disorders, cardiovascular pathologies, immunological dysfunctions, and respiratory sleep disturbances profoundly affect periodontal integrity, recuperative potential, and infectious susceptibility.
Extensive medical archives aren't mandatory. Simply prepare to articulate chronic conditions, operative interventions, or recent institutional care. Prior intolerances to anesthetic or antimicrobial compounds warrant explicit communication. These disclosures enable protective clinical decision-making from inception.
A dentist near Clementi meeting you without established records possesses no historical framework. The richer your health depiction, the more tailored and beneficial the resulting guidance.
If recent care from another provider produced radiographic images, treatment chronicles, or specialist communications, transport these materials. Even aging records contribute diagnostic value. They illuminate evolutionary trajectories rather than isolated temporal snapshots.
Nevertheless, documentation absence shouldn't postpone your visit. Facilities can generate contemporary imaging and establish fresh reference points. Historical records accelerate processes but remain optional. Electronic transmission from prior practices constitutes a convenience, not a prerequisite.
For those utilizing third-party payment mechanisms or employer-sponsored benefit structures, carry requisite authentication materials. This may include physical credentials, policy identifiers, or digital application access. Benefit comprehension permits administrative personnel to articulate cost implications transparently preceding intervention.
Direct payment arrangements similarly warrant inquiry regarding fee schedules and remittance alternatives. Initial consultations typically emphasize assessment and strategic planning rather than immediate therapeutic implementation. Expectation alignment prevents uncomfortable fiscal discourse subsequently.
Among the most potent instruments you can transport—completely without weight. Preceding your appointment, allocate brief contemplation to your booking motivation. Localized dental discomfort? Gingival hemorrhage? Comprehensive evaluation following extended absence? Aesthetic dissatisfaction? Thermal sensitivity phenomena?
Transcribe these considerations if apprehension about retention exists. Numerous individuals experience cognitive evacuation upon assuming the supine position. A succinct inventory directs clinical attention toward your authentic priorities.
Perhaps you selected a dentist at Clementi primarily for geographical accessibility. This represents legitimate reasoning—proximity influences adherence. Nevertheless, objective clarity continues enhancing encounter quality substantially.
Theatrical performance proves unnecessary. Clinicians don't assign evaluative scores. They require authentic data to formulate pertinent recommendations. Prepare to discuss cleansing frequency, interdental maintenance practices, nocturnal mandibular activity, or extended intervals since professional evaluation.
If historical recommendations proved incompatible with your circumstances, disclose this. If filamentous interdental cleaning produces discomfort motivating avoidance, that's clinically relevant intelligence. Initial appointments pursue behavioral comprehension, not judgmental assessment.
Intangible yet critically significant. Resist scheduling inaugural visits between demanding obligations or when arrival will occur agitated and delayed. First encounters require expanded duration compared with maintenance appointments due to augmented dialogue and evaluation components.
Marginal early arrival permits administrative navigation and psychological acclimation. It additionally establishes an unhurried atmosphere for subsequent interactions. Composure facilitates superior information exchange. Superior exchange produces superior clinical outcomes.
Intensive pre-appointment cleansing isn't advisable. Standard hygiene practices suffice. Excessive mechanical stimulation may traumatize gingival tissues, potentially generating misleading inflammatory appearances.
Personal oral hygiene implements remain unnecessary unless explicitly solicited. Similarly unnecessary are apologies regarding dental aesthetics or temporal gaps since previous care. Practitioners have encountered virtually every conceivable presentation. Your circumstances won't prove unprecedented.
When anxiety accompanies you, verbal acknowledgment benefits all parties. Quiet communication permits team pacing adjustments and enhanced explanatory detail. Consider personal audio equipment, sanctioned interruption requests, or step-by-step procedural narration.
Initial consultations construct relational foundations. A dentist near Clementi aware of your nervousness can modify communication strategies appropriately. Concealment serves no constructive purpose.
When the patient is your offspring, transitional objects may prove invaluable. Cherished playthings or familiar literature can transform uncertainty into tolerance. Prepare to discuss the young person's cleansing routines, nutritional patterns, and any digit-sucking or grinding phenomena. Maintain emotional neutrality. Eliminate frightening terminology and suppress your own dental anxieties in their perceptual field.
Before exiting, confirm comprehension of subsequent actions. This might involve professional cleaning scheduling, supplementary diagnostics, therapeutic planning, or routine recall arrangement. Interrogate ambiguous elements. Initial visits establish structural frameworks for ongoing relationships.
When your chosen practice was selected partly for convenience, recognize that informational clarity and emotional comfort rival geographical accessibility in importance. Successful inaugural appointments should leave you educated and empowered, not burdened or bewildered.
Excessive preparation isn't requisite for initial dental encounters. Several core elements generate substantial returns: precise health information, explicit concern identification, and sufficient temporal margin for comfortable acclimation. The target isn't flawless presentation—it's meaningful dialogue.
With appropriate preparation, your dentist can dedicate energy toward genuine priorities: comprehending your health profile and collaborating on a sustainable path forward that respects your individual circumstances and preferences.

This question surfaces constantly among entrepreneurs navigating Singapore's business incorporation process. You've secured your ACRA registration. You're occupying the director's seat. You're personally managing every aspect from client meetings to cash flow. The practical question emerges: can I take on the company secretary responsibilities too?
The legal answer: under limited circumstances. The strategic answer: considerably more complex. While Singapore's regulatory framework permits this dual arrangement in specific situations, executing both roles effectively demands competencies that extend well beyond basic statutory eligibility.
This analysis explores the regulatory boundaries, identifies scenarios where self-management proves viable, and exposes situations where this approach creates significant business exposure.
Despite sounding administrative, this role carries substantial organizational weight. A company secretary serves as the entity's statutory compliance guardian. Their portfolio encompasses preserving company registers, lodging annual declarations with regulatory authorities, documenting board deliberations, and ensuring continuous conformity with the Companies Act.
They also operate as the procedural conscience of the board. When directors reach strategic conclusions, the secretary ensures these moments are properly chronicled. When corporate structures evolve, they verify that regulatory filings keep pace with reality. This isn't about crafting vision. It's about maintaining institutional integrity through meticulous record-keeping.
Every Singapore-incorporated entity must designate a company secretary within six months of formation. This appointee must be a natural person maintaining ordinary residency in Singapore. The critical caveat: sole directors are explicitly barred from simultaneously serving as company secretary. These offices must remain separate and distinct.
Organizations with plural directors possess greater flexibility. One director may assume secretarial responsibilities, assuming they meet residency requirements and possess requisite knowledge. So yes, dual appointment remains possible—but only when your governance structure permits it.
This prohibition isn't bureaucratic caprice. It reflects deep-seated governance principles.
The company secretary exists partly to provide independent oversight of board processes. In single-director entities where one person controls both functions, that oversight mechanism vanishes entirely.
This distinction becomes crucial when external stakeholders—regulators conducting inspections, auditors reviewing controls, banks extending credit—examine your corporate records. They anticipate finding evidence of internal checks, regardless of company size.
Here's where well-intentioned founders often stumble. The fact that you can serve as your own company secretary doesn't mean you should. The position demands forensic attention to detail, relentless deadline management, and comfort navigating regulatory complexity.
Most directors obsess over revenue targets, product roadmaps, and talent acquisition. Compliance drifts to the periphery until a crisis forces it center-stage. Retroactive remediation always costs more than preventive maintenance. Self-appointment succeeds only for those with genuine administrative discipline and current regulatory knowledge.
Catastrophes rarely arrive suddenly. They accumulate through incremental neglect. Share registers fail to reflect recent transfers. Board resolutions occur in hallway conversations without written ratification. Annual returns slip past deadlines or contain material errors. Beneficial ownership declarations become stale.
Individually, these lapses seem survivable. Collectively, they create formidable obstacles during due diligence, fundraising, or exit negotiations. Directors consistently assure themselves they'll "get organized eventually." Eventually rarely arrives before consequences do.
Serving as your own company secretary consumes cognitive bandwidth. Perhaps not countless hours weekly, but enough to disrupt primary business priorities.
You must maintain intricate compliance calendars. Interpret evolving filing requirements. Track legislative amendments. Field inquiries from financial institutions or regulatory bodies.
If these activities integrate naturally into your existing workflow, the arrangement might sustain. For most entrepreneurs, they represent persistent friction—background stress that never resolves into structured administrative rhythm.
Specific situations justify personal secretarial oversight.
Early-stage ventures with multiple directors, minimal transactional activity, and absence of external funding may operate adequately under this model. When business complexity remains low and personal confidence in compliance runs high, risk stays manageable.
Yet honest self-assessment proves essential. Are you actually maintaining comprehensive documentation systems, or merely trusting that informal recollection suffices?
Once organizational momentum builds, the calculus inverts dramatically.
Securing institutional investment, implementing option pools, conducting share splits, or pursuing cross-border expansion geometrically increases secretarial complexity. Relationships with regulated partners or international operations intensify compliance scrutiny.
At this inflection point, personal secretarial service transforms from cost-saving measure into liability magnet. Errors cease being administrative inconveniences. They become credibility destroyers that damage professional reputation.
This is precisely where corporate secretarial services demonstrate their indispensable worth. They assume complete compliance ownership, allowing directors to focus exclusively on value creation.
Professional secretaries maintain statutory books, draft board resolutions, manage regulatory filings, and provide proactive deadline alerts. Beyond technical execution, they institutionalize operational consistency. Strategic decisions receive proper documentation. Corporate transformations achieve accurate regulatory reflection. Directors retain ultimate responsibility while receiving expert scaffolding to fulfill it.
Some entrepreneurs balk at service fees. This reaction is natural but misguided. The relevant comparison isn't between professional costs and zero expenditure. It's between professional costs and unpredictable downside exposure.
Late filings trigger penalties and potential director disqualification. Incomplete records delay financing or reduce valuation. Governance gaps alarm sophisticated investors during due diligence. These consequences resist quantification and frequently surface during moments of maximum vulnerability. Engaging corporate secretarial services thus functions as strategic insurance rather than discretionary spending.
Sophisticated directors often pursue blended arrangements. They retain strategic governance involvement while delegating technical execution to external corporate secretarial services.
This approach preserves decision-making authority while eliminating execution risk. Directors concentrate on what matters strategically. Professional administrators handle procedural mechanics with precision and reliability.
For growing enterprises navigating complexity, this balance frequently optimizes both control and protection.
Can you legally serve as your own company secretary? Under defined conditions, yes. Should you elect this path? That judgment depends entirely upon organizational complexity, personal capabilities, and risk appetite. The company secretary role operates invisibly when executed well. When executed poorly, it becomes impossible to ignore.
If your corporate structure remains simple and compliance administration feels natural, temporary self-management may suffice. As operational sophistication grows, professional corporate secretarial services Singapore transition from optional convenience to essential infrastructure. The fundamental question isn't whether the law accommodates your participation. It's whether you're prepared to own the consequences when inevitable oversights occur.

I salvaged a Microsoft Surface Go gen 1 from the scrap pile and installed Linux on it. Most stuff seems to work ok but I can't get screen rotation working in Gnome. I know its not a sensor issue because it works under plasma-mobile, and if I run monitor-sensor I can see its detecting mottion even under Gnome.
I tried installing the older version of iio-sensor-proxy-git suggested here but that made no difference: github.com/linux-surface/linux…
I also tried the screen rotate extension, however the AUR version made no difference and when I tried downloading it from the web it just said it was incompatible. I don't think it would solve the problem anyway because Gnome realises its in tablet mode and has the option for auto-rotate, it just doesn't do anything. I've also tried the Fedora live iso and its the same there.
Alternatively can anyone suggest a good on screen keyboard for KDE? I've tried maliit and plasma-keyboard but they're missing keys like ctrl and tab etc which makes using the terminal horrible. Thats the main reason I'm even using Gnome because the on screen keyboard is great.
Edit:
Turns out I just had to go back to the extension web page and enable it.
Allready found a workaround for this: Issue: Screen Auto Rotation not working installed iio-sensor-proxy from Community Repo. monitor-sensor returns Has accelerometer (orientation: undefined) Fix: ...juliankiedaisch (GitHub)

A while ago, I set up unattended-upgrades on my Debian 13 machines. Running sudo apt updatedoesn't cross my mind now that I assume unattended-upgrades takes care of that for me, but every once in a while, I'll try installing something and get the "Unable to locate package" errors associated with outdated repositories. After being made aware of having outdated repositories and packages, I'll go and run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade on my other machines, only to be told that all packages are up to date and unattended-upgrades did do its job there. I don't keep a record of this happening, but I also don't recall there being any pattern to which of my machines are affected and which aren't at any given time.
Where could I start hunting down the cause of this inconsistent behavior? I did double-check that I enabled it via sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades
Some upgrades require human input like when core service config files upgrades are offered. (ex. would like to update /etc/samba/smb.conf with the maintainer's version or keep your own?)
In my experience this can occasionally cause background apt processes to hang while they wait for your answer to that kind of question. There is a debconf trick you can try. debian_frontend=noninteractive. You can create your own cronjob, as root, that runs a script with this export command, apt update, then apt dist-upgrade -y.
In Debian, the “debian_frontend” is set to noninteractive mode. This mode allows the Debian users to manage the packages without interaction.Maddox (Its Linux FOSS)
Hi everyone! I’m trying to get a HP EliteDesk 705 G3 Desktop Mini to work as a Linux media player for my LG smart TV. My TV only has HDMI input, and my EliteDesk only has Display Port output, so I’m using a (reported) 4k60hz DP to HDMI adaptor, with a HDMI 1.3 cable.
Specifically, I want to use my computer to play 4k content on my television. I tried using HDMI 4k60hz and 8k cables, with OpenSUSE Leap with Gnome installed, but that led to the maximum resolution being 640x480. I ended up trying the HDMI 1.3 cable and that did work for whatever reason.
I’m not a fan of Gnome, though, so I wanted to switch to KDE instead. I can’t get 4k to work there at all. It has installed just fine, and I can use the computer with my 1080p monitor, but whenever it attempts to switch to 4k on my TV, I get a black screen right before I can login by entering my password. And if it boots on my TV in 1080p, I don’t have a visible cursor.
reportctl afterwards doesn’t really show any errors.
I added inxi -Gxx as an image.
Any thoughts?
The stuff you describe sounds like a cable timing issue. Not something you can fix in Linux. Think of it like the two devices trying to talk to each other on different frequencies and picking the highest res one that works. (so thats why they might get stuck on a random smaller one)
I had some examples like that in the past where some low quality or very long cables couldn't reach it's spec, even fresh out of the box, even on windows.
Oh, also I am pretty sure HDMI 1.3 does not do 4k at all. Either 1080 or 1440p was the spec limit.
If you can space the money for an experiment try an active DP 1.2 → HDMI 2.0 cable/adapter.
Maybe something like delock.com/produkt/85956/merkm… or Digitus branded. Depending on what known good cable manufacturer is available in your area.
I don’t mind spending another €20. I’m pretty happy with my little computer costing only €100, including RAM and SDD.
Oh, also I am pretty sure HDMI 1.3 does not do 4k at all. Either 1080 or 1440p was the spec limit.
I didn’t think so either, but in Gnome it (at least this cable) did, like I said. I could easily tell and it said so in the settings.
Thats very interesting.
Do you maybe know if your gnome system was using x11 and your kde one is using wayland? Wayland might be a bit stricter when it comes to following specs and not implementing hacky workarounds. (or it could always be a bug)
Oh and if you do try out other cables, give us an update. I'm curious if it will work.
Replying to your comment again to say the cable worked. I could buy this exact cable, and my OpenSUSE Leap/KDE computer now does indeed work with 4k60hz on my TV.
Sadly, the processor isn’t really up to the task. But it was a bit of a shot in the dark anyway, I pretty much just hoped it’d work. But 1080p does do well, and on YouTube I generally watch 1080p.
I’ll try xfce next to see how that runs.
to me that smells like what I said in the other comment:
Wayland might be a bit stricter when it comes to following specs and not implementing hacky workarounds. (or it could always be a bug)
I feel like, if a cable is high quality and up to spec, it will work with wayland. But if the signal integrity is below spec, wayland might fall back to slower signaling while x11 is more lax and ignores the issue and so a worse cable still works even if unnoticably below spec quality. Or the 4k over hdmi 1.3 is some hack that x11 supports and wayland doesn't because it's out of spec.
But thats just a feeling. May be wrong.
Thanks for reporting back with your findings!

On Monday, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, announced a new content policy for Meta on Threads. We are disappointed in these changes, which put vulnerable people on and off Meta platforms in harm’s way for harassment. Ideas matter, and history shows that online misinformation and harassment can lead to violence in the real world. There are good analyses of the details of the policy changes at EFF, The Verge, and Platformer.
Meta is one of many ActivityPub implementers and a supporter of the Social Web Foundation. We strongly encourage Meta’s executive and content teams to come back in line with best practices of a zero harm social media ecosystem. Reconsidering this policy change would preserve the crucial distinction between political differences of opinion and dehumanizing harassment. The SWF is available to discuss Meta’s content moderation policies and processes to make them more humane and responsible.
What do these changes mean for the Fediverse? Through ActivityPub, Meta’s Threads network is connected to the social web, also called the Fediverse. This is a diverse network of independent social services using different codebases and different kinds of content. The network of 300M users of Threads can follow and be followed by people in tens of thousands of other communities. These services are operated by a variety of entities: corporations, universities, enterprise IT, cooperatives, non-profit organizations, and self-organized volunteers.
Theoretically, this distributed structure allows people to make choices about which platforms they want to use – based not only on technical features, but also on community composition and moderation policies. Users don’t need to give up on social connections they already have with friends and family; they can stay connected across services using ActivityPub. Different communities and services can have different content policies, but people in different communities can still stay connected.
Ideally, having an account on a Fediverse service gives people the best of both worlds: they can stay connected to users and content they like, and filter out content and users that they don’t. When unwanted content from one community lands in the feeds of people in other communities, the receiving users or their moderators can react under their own local policy: removing individual text or image posts; blocking individual users; or blocking the entire sending community.
Practically, though, there are limitations to this flexibility. Filtering on the receiving side requires orders of magnitude more effort. If a single sending service delivers bad content to users on one hundred or one thousand receiving services, each moderator on the receiving end has to clean up the mess locally. Moderators get understandably frustrated with this kind of displacement of responsibility. A common response is to block servers that send bad content entirely.
In the case of Threads, though, there are complicating factors. Threads is much, much bigger than the typical Fediverse community, and it has many high-profile users in politics, media and technology. It’s also an easy onboarding service to the Fediverse for people who are used to Facebook or Instagram, meaning many of our friends, colleagues and family use it. Blocking the Threads service means blocking access for all users on the receiving service from all these important accounts.
Unfortunately, there’s not an easy answer for Fediverse moderators. We encourage trust and safety teams across the social web to use their best judgement and the tools available to keep users safe, connected, and informed, and also to minimize moderators’ stress and burnout. IFTAS Connect is a great community resource for connecting with other moderators to discuss these tradeoffs.
We see the challenge of a large service that has poor local content policy as a chance to strengthen the social and technical infrastructure of the Fediverse. None of these options will resolve current problems immediately, but we hope starting the research now will make the Fediverse more resilient in the future.
Ultimately, the safety and well-being of people around the world should not be in the hands of any single company. Moderation policies are a competitive advantage in an open social network. We continue to encourage the use of ActivityPub, and the distributed control that it brings.
Defederation on decentralized social media offers new possibilities for online governance. Experts consider how it can be used responsibly, in a way that balances speech and safety.Samantha Lai (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace)

The thinkpad install was flawless, even had the wifi drivers in the installer without needing non-free.
