I can't imagine having so few problems in life that the absolute worst thing that has ever happened to you is a single word on a character select screen being changed, but I guess when that's the only hardship you've ever faced in life, it must feel agonizing enough to justify murder.

Until 1984, the Santa Fe Railroad moved freight cars across the San Francisco Bay by barge. Railroad cars were decoupled from trains and loaded onto special "carfloat" barges, which were pulled across the bay by a small fleet of tug boats, to be re-attached to trains at the other end. The service ended when a fire destroyed the Point Richmond pier (the East Bay terminal for the operation), and that was that.

A handful of rail carfloat operations continue in the US, most notably in NY Harbor.

Per reports, all this in the last 48 hours while that Jewish Nazi society is lying to all of us about the slaughter it did at Mossad, CIA & likely ex-USAID run so called "humanitarian aid" centers

I see reports from others that in the last few hours, the Nazi regime increased the intensity of the slaughter even more

It has opened so many slaughter fronts & yet Western Imperial "journalists" treat non-stop lies from them as credible enough.

The 287(g) program allowing local police to act as federal #immigration officers in collaboration with ICE has expanded from 135 agreements in 25 states to 628 in 40 states since January. A criminal justice professor explains why this undermines community trust and public safety: buff.ly/orKOZ01

Ukraine just rewrote the rules of war

โ€œThis should serve to remind us of why it is so dangerous to have such a chaotic U.S. administration at such a dangerous moment. At a time like this, it would be nice if the president had a fully staffed National Security Council led by a tested, seasoned adviser โ€” rather than an NSC that is led by a moonlighting secretary of state and that has just been purged of many of its most experienced staffers.โ€

@chris In that sense, the stakes haven't changed for Russia at all. Nuking Ukraine would show conventional weakness and cost them one or two allies. And the allies are important today and in the future. And more important after any nuclear use, tactical or strategical. Russia would open pandoras box again after it was kept tightly closed for almost 80 years.

@OneEyeKing Oh to be sure there IS but it's hard to get it to work at range, but search for "HRF" or "HeRF" gun, it stands for high energy RF, and basically it invokes using a magnetron out of an old microwave, some high voltage photoflash or other capacitors capable of rapid discharge without damage, an inverter to step up battery voltage to around 4kv, and a trigger mechanism of some sort. These are also useful devices for testing Faraday shielding of computer equipment, granted often a destructive test, but a good one if reliability during high EMF conditions is important.

Just a reminder that June is both Pride Month AND Accordion Awareness Month! Celebrate both!

in reply to Nanook

@nanook I don't think that it was ever possible to divide people into such a distinctive two groups without a major kinetic conflict. It can only be achieved by emotional hacking through hijacking of information. TV news is outdated. Now most people receive news based on the echo chamber they subscribe to which muffles any contradicting ideas. There is very little deviation and individualism. It's all emotionally based tribalism. This was never the case. Also feminism strengthened it.
in reply to OneEyeKing

@OneEyeKing I guess I'd be in a better position to agree or disagree if you were more explicit with regard to what "two groups" you are referring to, even without specifying it suggests a binary thinking mode that is not in line with a much more complex and nuanced reality. That TV news is outdated, well at least there is one thing we can agree upon. There are many echo chambers as you say and so there is not the widespread agreement that you think exists. Yes I will concur emotional tribalism is real and is problematic.
in reply to FourOh-LLC

Thomas Sowell talks a lot about "culture", but fails to admit that culture is also blood-feud, and convictions, and responsible to wiping out entire Civilizations. Thomas Sowell is not a very smart dude.

Western Civilization is building an ethical, not a cultural Society. Something the ancients - Greece and Rome - started building. Of course they fallen into complacence, and decadence, and Thomas Sowell is correct on that record.

Yet the fact that we are building a Civilization - not a "cluture", not "society", not "code"... escapes him.

Thomas Sowell is not ignorant, not stupid. He's your average dude who has not figured it out how to fix broken things, so he is putting extraordinary efforts into it.

in reply to FourOh-LLC

"Culture" wiped out the entire South American structure of Civilizations. Not just one nations, one tribe, one race - but basically re-written History.

There has been never critical views to "culture", such as that modern civilization shall never affect indigenous people... oh, wait.

It took us thousands of years of "evolution" to realize that "culture" is more destructive than the hydrogen bomb.

I rest my case, and I wish Thomas Sowell would stop hawking about it.

in reply to Nanook

The relevancy is that some things are not broken, and they do not need fixing. The fact that there are tyrants, the rich and poor, and other extremes is not an exception. Its not something broken.

Have you ever seen a tornado constructing a condo, how come all we ever see is tornadoes deconstructing them? Only a fool complains about tornadoes in that context.

How come its always the poor who wants to "re-distribute wealth"? How come the rich is not protesting on the streets for being obstructed in their wealth re-distribution efforts?

Half of what Aristotle stated has to do with the struggle over limited resources, but 2300 years ago the concept of "limited resources" was not in the text books. So smart and curious people created these cumbersome revelations about the same fundamental fact.

I'm grokking here..

in reply to Nanook

I brought up Thomas Sowell because a lot of memes keep quoting him.

Its only commerce, the market, its business that is fully aligned with the governing forces of limited resources. NONE of the other cultural and civilizational institutions matter anymore. I saw in the last few decades how Law, Education, Arts has been subverted by activists, and all those institutions are now on the verge of collapse.

Everything can be re-imagined except profit. What makes one person successful, and the other person a failure is their capacity to recognize this. Unless you are "gainfully employed" you will not likely to succeed.

Unless of course your are a sociopath, a criminal, a professional victim and a grifter, and so on. Or a warlord, a tryrant.

in reply to Nanook

I did not call him unintelligent, I called him average who is putting out some extraordinary effort, but most of it is wasted on me, and others like me. The same goes for Aristotle, as I already explained.

I think people like Thomas Sowell would do better with deconstructing something that would directly benefit "Humanity" like Islam, Communism, Activism. These are parasitic institutions, and I'm convinced we could get rid of the social and economic classes of people who are promoting them. Again, these are not something you can or want to "destroy" or "fix", but something you want to clearly describe for what they truly are - parasitic institutions.

By the way, you CAN get a law degree, a PhD, even a Noble price with low IQ. You CAN become a business mogul with low IQ. You can be very effective in a great many ways with low IQ.

in reply to FourOh-LLC

We managed to described a great many destructive things such as false advertisement, predatory lending, monopoly. The reason we are able to describe them is because they are all involved with financial transactions, dollars and cents, without any rounding errors.

Describing why Activism or Communism is parasitic may be done the same way, as both of these are bottom-less money pits never building any tangible wealth.

Islam is the same way, and to me the visit by Trump was an eye-opener. The wealth of the emirates is based on natural resources, based on depleting them. Trump brought them the idea of Commerce, in intellectual assets, a wealth-building not resource-depleting proposal.

I did not vote for Trump because of politics, I voted for him because of his constructive ideas.

Can someone tell me why the suicide of Charlotte Fosgate/burntfishie in particular is getting all this attention? To me it's just another trans suicide. Was this person's Sonic hacks notable for being shit? Did he ruin a particular Sonic ROM hacking forum or Discord?

And I don't think it's just Stonetoss that brought attention to the situation, unless he is familiar with this person.

in reply to xianc78

It somehow made its way to my Explore page on Twitter when I check there for news. I think it got so much attention because of how apathetic all of the person's "online friends" were towards his suicidal posts. They all just completely supported it and played into it (I get dark humor but this somehow just feels like straight apathy) or would change the subject into something else entirely like a casual conversation, without paying attention to the suicide tendency in question. They grew desensitized to it... until it finally happens.
So I think this type of apathetic behavior might be shocking for people looking in from the outside. Even for someone like me, I did find it odd. They glorify suicide. Where the fuck are the person's parents when all of this is going down?
Younger people nowadays are fucked inside these mentally unwell communities. I remember growing up, if someone would say such things online, I personally would take it seriously and try to talk to them. Now they all just want to kill themselves and propagate the idea inside the group. โ€‹:lmao:โ€‹ I believe turning to online communities for "help", where there are more mentally unwell retards constantly pushing each other over the edge with whatever they are trying to deal with, is adding fuel to the fire. I see it constantly, people coping online with other bad habits that the community they're in pushes on them.

Unironically, I think a lot of them need Jesus. lol
Not retards online passing their own demons onto them.

:mgsgb_0: Microsoft wants to take a continuous stream of screenshots of your system. They have been keylogging for a long time.
:mgsgb_1: Microsoft has been using Copilot to spy. ( schneier.com/blog/archives/202โ€ฆ )
:mgsgb_2: Storage remains cheap; Microsoft's cluster is way up the list on top500.org.
:mgsgb_3: Eating as much data as you can and keeping it around forever in case you figure out how to use it at some point in the future is espoused by Microsoft, Google, Facebook, everyone, all of the large tech companies. Data is considered an asset, active user metrics represent not just ad inventory but also a continued stream of data.
:mgsgb_4: AI prompts are part of that data, kept around forever, besides being used to train new versions of the AI.
:mgsgb_5: AI image generation tools produce unique images.
:mgsgb_6: Image search is old tech. You can build it from scratch in your house: you normalize the image, you adjust color to maximize noise and then you boil it down to a 8x8 1bpp square first so that you have a 64-bit index, and that's often enough for a match, but if you have a lot of really similar images, you can just treat that as a constraint on the search space. It's not exactly CS-101, but it's something you can do maybe two or three years in.
:mgsgb_7: Microsoft makes a big chunk of its money from government contracts. PhotoDNA came out of Microsoft Research.
:mgsgb_8: AI-generated images are tied to an account: if not a credit card, at least an identity with IP/email/time, maybe a phone number for 2FA.
:mgsgb_9: AI-generated images are almost certainly kept around. It is not hard at OpenAI's (i.e., Microsoft's) scale to retain a searchable corpus of all previously generated images.
:mgsgb_a: People are using AI tools to make avatars.
:mgsgb_b: None of those people are actually anonymous.

Well, this was interesting: web.archive.org/web/2010112023โ€ฆ . I don't think most of it is news to anyone besides white women. I will say the ex saw the Dalai Lama give some MIT higher-up (I think it was either the dean or Minsky) a prayer mat; left out of the headlines was that this prayer mat was made from human skin, if that gives you an idea of the degree of feudalism in Tibet.

To add your icloud email address to any desktop mail client on Linux, enter these parameters:

The server for receiving email is imap.mail.me.com. It uses SSL, and the port is 993.
The user is your icloud address, and for the password, you'll need to generate an app specific password.

support.apple.com/kb/HT204397

As per sending email, the server is smtp.mail.me.com, SSL is needed, and the port is 587. The address and password are the same that you entered for email reception.

For contacts and calendars, the parameters to enter are the following:
As the calendar address, enter caldav.icloud.com/ . Your user name is your icloud address, and your password is the app password you generated earlier.
Same goes for contacts, except the address to enter is contacts.icloud.com/.

You can access Notes and Reminders through the web portal. They only have the basic features. iWork apps, like Numbers, pages and Keynote are also all accessible.

Now for photos, the web interface is serviceable, you get your albums, a list of pictures, you can upload photos manually and have them show up on all your other devices, but you won't be able to edit them from here.

There is no auto upload app that will let you send pictures from your desktop to your icloud photo library either, you'll have to do manual uploads.

There's a command line utility called icloud photos downloader:

github.com/icloud-photos-downlโ€ฆ

As per files stored in iCloud drive, this one will also only be accessible through the web interface, you can't mount it as external storage or auto sync files to a Linux desktop, which kinda sucks.

If you use Apple Music, there's a fantastic Linux desktop client, called Cider.
You can install it from flathub,or as a snap, a debian package, and an appimage, as well as from the AUR.

There is simply no way to access your imessages on Linux. No web interface, no app, no third party client. it's a closed source program and protocol, and so unless Apple decides to offer a web interface or to open the protocol, you'll have to keep using your smartphone or tablet to answer these.

Connecting devices


What if you want to plug in a device and grab its contents on Linux, though? Well, that's supported. By default, when plugging in your iphone or ipad, it will show up as a camera device, provided you accept that access on the popup that appears on your device. It will show up with a DCIM folder.

It will be mounted as read-only, so you can't transfer files to it.

You can do that using iFuse: hukot.net/community/en/tutoriaโ€ฆ

KDE Connect lets you sync stuff between a phone or tablet, and a linux desktop. It should be installed by default on KDE desktops, and on GNOME, you can install the GSConnect extension. Don't forget to reboot your computer afterwards, it never worked right after install for me.

On iOS, you can share the contents of the clipboard, send photos or videos, send regular files, use the device as a slideshow remote, run commands, or use it as a virtual touchpad. You can also send files to your iDevice, and they'll show up in the Files app, in local files, in the KDE Connect folder.

California State Senate committee voted #SB1413 #PermanentStandardTime bill out of the "suspense file", a budget & political filter, keeping this one alive. Now we'll see if it goes next to another committee, or entire senate. sapro.senate.ca.gov/sites/saprโ€ฆ #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST

California State Senate advanced #SB1413 #PermanentStandardTime bill to an upcoming floor vote. It needs a 2/3 vote to pass because an amendment added a budgetary cost, requiring a report be written. 2/3 may be steep uphill. ๐Ÿ™ leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/facโ€ฆ #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST

Unfortunately, California State Senate amended #SB1413 #PermanentStandardTime bill to only a report, and removed actual repeal of DST. Unless CA Assembly unexpectedly revives AB1776, this ends any hope for #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST in the western states that could begin 2025. โ˜น๏ธ

California State Senate passed #SB1413 #PermanentStandardTime bill after it was amended down to a study due 2027, not repeal of DST. Slightly better than nothing. In the western states this year, Oregon got the farthest with Senate passing #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST bill #SB1548.

I watched as #Oregon SB566 #PermanentStandardTime bill apparently died. I didn't realize it was replaced by #SB1038 until that passed the Senate today. On to the House.

The new bill is weird. It'll go along with permanent Standard or Daylight time as long as both CA & WA adopt same in 10 years. Permanent DST would require an act of Congress first, since states aren't allowed to choose it. Excludes Mountain Time portion of Oregon in Malheur County. olis.oregonlegislature.gov/lizโ€ฆ #DitchTheSwitch #PNW

"Oregon Senate passes bill for permanent standard time... or possibly permanent daylight saving time" by KGW News (NBC Portland) - After #SB1038 passage in the #Oregon Senate, it will be up for a vote in the House. If passed by House and signed by governor, Oregon would go along if both CA & WA #DitchTheSwitch too within 10 years. kgw.com/article/news/politics/โ€ฆ #PNW

They tried and failed again in the #Washington legislature again this year. Based on the way the #waleg calendar works, no movement is possible until 2025. kiro7.com/news/local/time-runsโ€ฆ

Evenly split... why? How did these people get elected? Saying it won't take effect until Washington and California enact similar laws is straight out sabatoge, because Washington and California will do that too, and nobody will ever commit to it? But why won't they commit? Why is the house *evenly split*? There's no reason to hesitate at all, unless you really like murdering people for no reason, because DST kills!

That's how Arizona ditched DST in the 1960s. After one year with DST, we didn't need daylight that late in the evening - especially when it is 40C to 45C outside, or even higher than that.

The Navajo Nation in Arizona observes DST, to keep up with the rest of their reservation in Utah and New Mexico. The Hopi reservation, completely surrounded by the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona, does not observe DST. Mobile phone network time keeps up with all of that up there...

Stronger together: What we've accomplished since the Tails-Tor merger

Nine months ago @tails and @torproject set out to unite forces for Internet Freedom. The goal was to integrate Tails into the organizational structure of the Tor Project to pool resources instead of duplicating them, and deliver a more robust shield against censorship and surveillance. Today we're happy to report that we're already seeing the transformative impact of our united efforts.

'Russian bombers are burning en masse' โ€” #Ukraine's #SBU drones hit 'more than 40' #aircraft in mass #attack, source says


source: kyivindependent.com/enemy-bombโ€ฆ

An operation by Ukraine's #Security Service (SBU) using first-person-view (FPV) #drones smuggled deep inside Russian and hidden inside trucks has hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four airfields across the country, a source in the agency told the Kyiv Independent on June 1.

As a kid, I spent a lot of time bucking hay bales by day, and breathing second-hand smoke by night. Probably related, I often got bad allergy attacks that closed up my lungs.

In the many many years since, Iโ€™ve found what works best for me when I feel the itching eyes and tight lungs coming on:

  1. Drink LOTS of water - like a litre or two
  2. Breathe humid air
  3. Wash my face (no really)

During the fifteen years or so that I was a cog in the corporate machine, I had really good corporate medical insurance. I saw numerous doctors and specialists about my asthma, and got prescribed all the best medications, to varying effects.

In all that time, none of them - not ONE general practitioner, nurse, asthma or allergy specialist EVER suggested any of the remedies above.

Theyโ€™re not panaceas, and I do occasionally have to go to the pills, but my remedies stop the allergies about 80% of the time. What were all the high-priced doctors doing when all I needed was some soap and warm water?

Reason #73 that Iโ€™m skeptical of the medical establishment.

The increased rate of global #warming has shocked even the experts. Global temperatures in 2023, 2024 and 2025 so far has shattered previous records, and not by a little. Scientists have long known that #greenhouse gas #emissions are driving global warming, but the recent spike is faster and larger than anyone expected. Something is accelerating climate change, and we donโ€™t fully understand what it is.
