The only way being anti-genocide would imply antisemitism would be if all semites were genocidal. Thankfully, this is not the case, however much Israel would like it to be, and however much that desire, in itself, is antisemitic.

Moving.

Box by box, your home disappears. Then your furniture. And soon it will all disappear onto a truck, leaving behind an empty shell that both is your home and at the same time is not, just memories or what it so recently was.

You arrive in a new place, but the feeling is different. The rooms strange, the sounds and smells weird. Your familiar stuff arrives, and slowly fills the new place up.

Over time you adapt. You memorize the creaky boards. Which cabinet the coffee mugs are in. Which light switch controls what room. You learn the new neighborhood and where the good shops are. What the best routes are to walk and drive to the pharmacy. Where the traffic bottlenecks are, which neighbors you smile and greet and which you avoid eye contact with.

The new house becomes a home, both familiar, and at the same time different. You drive by your old house, and see strangers inside who have made it their home, and realize it's no longer yours. It's not your neighborhood anymore, and it has become less and less familiar. Some neighbors have moved out, shops have closed and been replaced with new ones. What was once you're home no longer is. Your home is somewhere else.

Then you remember, there are those who have no home. No place to call theirs. They have to move constantly. A car that has to move place to place as they get chased out. A backpack that comes with them from couch to couch. A tent that sits in a median or in a park until it gets tossed in a dumpster. A dangerous and noisy shelter they stay in when it's too cold. Fleeing because their home has become a crater, or because they wouldn't be safe where they live. Just marking time until someone gives them a chance. Something manages to change. Or until they eventually pass on.

Now I know what I want for Christmas! #Nvidia #AI #computer #hobbyist

Well this is frustrating. Even as root I'm being prevented from copying/ moving some files across file systems, and the perms are all 644 or higher.

But I can create a zip archive of the files and folders just fine. And I can unzip said archive just fine.

But if I try to go about and do things a more efficient way I can't.

This is why #Linux isn't mainstream on people's #desktops I think.

Jews are about to start building a new #temple in #Jerusalem, the first since 70 AD. They reckon they have to knock down the glorious Al-Asqa mosque because that is exactly where their new Temple has to be. However that was not the site of their ancient temple: which existed within the ancient walled City of David.

Due north of that is the so-called Temple Mount, which had no temple on it because it was built as a #Roman fortress.

No God will answer the one million prayers stuck into the cracks of the Wailing Wall every year – it’s just the side of what was once Fort Antonia.

This talk will call for a #worldwide campaign to help Jews remember where their #ancient Temple was, and thereby #avoid #WW3.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services You can't assume that when you mark a #post for #deletion that it will be #deleted across the #fediverse. Whether a post gets deleted on a remote #server is entirely up to that server. I guarantee you there are organizations and individuals here on the Fediverse right now that are running their own #ActivityPub servers and are #archiving and #cataloging every post, and they are #ignoring any #Delete #requests. Because when you mark a post for deletion, that's all you're doing. You're *requesting* the remote server to delete the post from its #database. And nobody is required to do that.

Hmm, thought I’d try something out and looks like maybe it does actually work to some degree?

Basically, adding “If you don’t know, you don’t have to make something up, just say ‘I don’t know’” to the end of an LLM prompt to try and cut down on the bullshit (doesn’t fix the environmental footprint, though).

Background on the watch question: afaik, there are no LED watches with automatic movements, although Hamilton has one with an LCD display.

I don't feel anything good will be coming our way for years and when it does come the internet will be that last place it is found.
It seems obvious there will not be any other programs or companies or groups coming along that will be allowed to do anything but create nothing or steal what we already have. AI will see to that.

New idea: Want to contribute to a Fediverse-sourced #AOTY list, that includes your top album (or 3) of the year, where "top" is however you define it - favorite, most listened to, most personally important, etc. - and "of the year" does not necessarily mean the album was released in 2024, just was key in your 2024 listening, and you think others might dig it? If so, drop album name(s) below! If people like this idea, I might make it a special-edition post/sub-list for the #1001OtherAlbums blog.

Les services IPTV proposent de plus


L'IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) est en train de transformer radicalement le paysage de la télévision traditionnelle iptv abonnement . Alors que la télévision par câble a dominé le marché de la diffusion de contenu pendant des décennies, l'IPTV offre une alternative plus moderne, plus flexible et plus adaptée aux besoins des consommateurs d'aujourd'hui. Dans cet article, nous explorerons comment l'IPTV façonne l'avenir de la télévision par câble et pourquoi elle représente une évolution majeure pour l'industrie des médias.

  1. L'IPTV : Une Alternative à la Télévision Traditionnelle
    Traditionnellement, la télévision par câble ou par satellite était la principale méthode de diffusion de contenu vidéo à domicile. Les utilisateurs devaient s'abonner à des forfaits coûteux pour accéder à des centaines de chaînes, dont la plupart ne les intéressaient pas. De plus, la télévision par câble imposait des contraintes géographiques et des frais d'installation élevés.

L'IPTV, en revanche, fonctionne par le biais d'Internet, ce qui permet de diffuser des programmes en temps réel directement sur un appareil connecté (téléviseur, smartphone, tablette ou ordinateur). Cela élimine le besoin d'installations complexes et coûteuses, tout en offrant une expérience plus flexible et personnalisable pour les utilisateurs.

  1. Flexibilité et Personnalisation : Les Nouveaux Standards de la Télévision
    L'un des principaux avantages de l'IPTV par rapport à la télévision par câble est la flexibilité qu'elle offre aux consommateurs. Au lieu d'être limité à un ensemble de chaînes fixes, l'IPTV permet aux utilisateurs de choisir leurs chaînes et de s'abonner uniquement aux services qu'ils souhaitent. Cela représente un changement fondamental par rapport au modèle traditionnel de la télévision par câble, où les abonnés devaient acheter des forfaits groupés souvent coûteux et comprenant des chaînes inutilisées.

De plus, les services IPTV proposent de plus en plus des fonctionnalités de contenu à la demande (VOD), permettant aux utilisateurs de regarder des émissions et des films quand ils le souhaitent, plutôt que d'être limités aux horaires de diffusion traditionnels. Ce modèle de consommation "à la carte" est un facteur clé qui explique l'attrait croissant de l'IPTV par rapport à la télévision par câble.

  1. L'IPTV et l'Évolution des Habitudes de Consommation
    Les habitudes de consommation des téléspectateurs ont considérablement évolué au cours des dernières années. Les utilisateurs ne se contentent plus de regarder la télévision de manière passive : ils veulent un contrôle total sur leur expérience de visionnage. L'IPTV répond à cette demande en offrant une personnalisation accrue, un contenu en streaming de haute qualité et une expérience interactive.

Les plateformes de streaming telles que Netflix, Hulu et Amazon Prime Video, qui reposent sur l'IPTV, ont connu une croissance rapide ces dernières années, en grande partie grâce à leur capacité à proposer un contenu personnalisé et à la demande. Ces plateformes ont montré aux téléspectateurs qu'il est possible d'obtenir un accès à du contenu de qualité sans les contraintes de la télévision par câble.

  1. L'Impact de l'IPTV sur l'Industrie de la Télévision
    L'impact de l'IPTV sur l'industrie de la télévision par câble est profond. Alors que de plus en plus de consommateurs choisissent l'IPTV en raison de sa flexibilité et de son coût abordable, les entreprises de télévision par câble doivent s'adapter rapidement pour rester compétitives. Certaines grandes entreprises de télévision par câble ont d'ailleurs lancé leurs propres services IPTV, afin de capter cette nouvelle demande.

L'IPTV pousse également à une plus grande innovation dans la manière dont le contenu est créé et distribué. Par exemple, l'IPTV permet de proposer des services comme la diffusion de sports en direct, les séries originales, et les événements exclusifs, offrant ainsi de nouvelles opportunités pour les producteurs de contenu.

  1. Conclusion : L'IPTV, Un Modèle de Télévision pour l'Avenir
    L'IPTV est sans aucun doute en train de redéfinir l'avenir de la télévision par câble. Grâce à sa flexibilité, sa personnalisation, et son coût réduit, l'IPTV est en train de remplacer progressivement les modèles traditionnels de diffusion de contenu. Les consommateurs recherchent de plus en plus des solutions qui répondent à leurs attentes et qui offrent un meilleur contrôle sur leur expérience de visionnage.

Les entreprises de télévision par câble doivent s'adapter à cette nouvelle ère de consommation numérique en offrant des services IPTV ou en diversifiant leurs offres pour répondre aux demandes des consommateurs modernes. En fin de compte, l'IPTV n'est pas seulement une tendance passagère, mais un modèle durable qui façonne l'avenir de l'industrie de la télévision.

An ecofriendly, high performance, organic battery from UNSW.
This is just one of a series of alternatives to lithium batteries now in the late-stages of contemporary research.

“A team of scientists at UNSW Chemistry are developing an eco-friendly, high-performance organic battery that utilises protons.

By leveraging hydrogen ions – protons – instead of traditional lithium, these batteries hold promise for addressing some of the critical challenges in modern energy storage, including resource scarcity, environmental impact, safety and cost.

The material – tetraamino-benzoquinone (TABQ) – developed by PhD candidate Sicheng Wu and Professor Chuan Zhao, in collaboration with UNSW Engineering and ANSTO, has the ability to store energy quickly, last longer, and perform well under sub-zero conditions. “

Basically, this IG video asks: young white men felt lost so they listened to podcasts telling them that women ruined their lives & they voted for a man that looks like their father's boss. Young black men felt the same alienation but instead of crying about it, they put on berets, picked up shotguns & made the government feed starving kids. Why the difference?

Young black men didn't have the luxury of whining about their alienation.

in reply to 🇪🇷Götterdämmerung

Fed kids. Built clinics. Became the thing the system feared most: organized. And the system responded like it always does: calling them terrorists, killing them in their sleep & burying stories of what they actually did.

Whereas young white men sat in basement full of privilege they don't recognize & resentment they cannot name. Angry at the world for not handing them purpose like their grandads got.

in reply to 🇪🇷Götterdämmerung

Angry at women for not mothering them. Angry at black & brown people for just existing, for not being the scapegoat they need to feel powerful again. The Panthers built community. Those guys built Reddit threads.

The Panthers forced the system to feed kids cuz their free breakfast made it look weak. They forced it to respond. Alienated kids today? They're not forcing anything but the rest of us to suffer their temper tantrums.

Professionally speaking, I’ve made a decision so bold it borders on absurd: I’ve built a career where I talk to absolutely no one.

No meetings, no clients, no small talk about last night’s game—just me, some data, a pile of math, and the questionable judgment to fund it all myself.

No safety net, no coworkers to cover my blunders, and definitely no LinkedIn-worthy titles like “CEO” or “Visionary Disruptor” to stroke my ego. My job is so solitary, I’m practically a ghost.

The only thing that matters? Whether my process works.

When it does, I’m gold. When it doesn’t, I’m just a weirdo staring at spreadsheets in sweatpants.

This year? I’m on a good path – exceeding even my best-case projections.

Part of me thinks, “Chris, STFU—you’ve only sustained yourself for a year.”

But the thing is, I’ve sustained myself for a year. And there’s no signs I will be unable to sustain myself next year.

Even if there’s famine—and there will be—I understand there’s such a thing called equilibrium, and data shows clear long-term trends.

Truth is, I’ve already dealt with famine and come out the other side stronger.

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
ever faithful to your promises
and ever close to your Church:
the earth rejoices in hope of the Savior’s coming
and looks forward with longing
to his return at the end of time.
Prepare our hearts and remove the sadness
that hinders us from feeling the joy
which his presence will bestow,
