there are a few decent republicans but i'd almost accept infinite H1B indians with musk's new party, if it meant we could remove this brain sucker that israel has implanted in our government
indians just want to come here and undercut our job market. at least they aren't trying to drag us into a bunch of wars and blackmailing and bribing our politicians

The hardworking magician deserves some recognition too. She's invested years of effort into keeping up with the Hakurei shrine maiden. It's a goal that seems nearly impossible yet the human magician still puts all her effort towards it. She's somewhat successful surprisingly enough, even without abandoning her humanity. Marisa is devoted, and it's that devotion that draws everyone to her.
youtube.com/watch?v=NpvDlwToTT… Posting for Marisa day is partially just an excuse to post But I Couldn’t Make Anything Happen ～ Hero's Challenge again. I love this track, it is so perfect in representing the dynamic of Marisa and Reimu through the lens of a distorted version of Dragon Quest. It also sounds great.
mangadex.org/title/c6785791-0f… There's too many good Marisa doujins to share. It's super hard to pick. So I'm going to post two. First one here is Marisa Dies in Two Hours. A solid showcase of the feelings of Gensokyo. mangadex.org/title/bee954f7-31… Second here is Marisa's Summer Break. This one has a bit of emotion to it despite being a kind of silly doujin. Always love to see it.
Marisa helps out Cirno with some homework over summer break while reminiscing about her early troubles starting out as an Ordinary Magician in Gensokoyo.
Considering an ICE job? Well! Exciting news! That makes you one of Trump's Gestapo--remember ALL those WWII nazi movies? What happened to those assholes? And the moldy cherry on top? Our Scheißeführer Drumpf will probably fucking stiff you on your wages! hahaha. Go for it, sucker!
So how’d they get the sub? Undercover agents? Sonar and other listening devices? Waited for it to surface and triangulated via Starlink satellites? Satellite imagery?
@Andrew Pam - Ah, that swap of the letters did cross my mind. But I worked on a production of Agnes of God and kinda got used to the A-followed-by-g form.
“Vibe-coding” was coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy this year to describe the process of using AI to translate natural language prompts into functional code. The practice has become widespread as startups vibe-code products and Big Tech companies demand employees use coding assistants like Cursor and Claude.
How about an AI generated AI compute platform based on organic components that require sunlight to operate instead of electricity to provide relief to unwealthy Americans like me who suffer in order to pay for the billionaires' data centers?
I'm Brazilian, I don't have any details about this topic but I'm curious, I'm going to read the article and research it.

@sacre I remember reading about the persecution at the time. I know Lula has tried to clamp down on it, but illegal loggers are not always easy to find and arrest. However, I couldn't direct you to sources for this, sorry.

"Just when you think the Western Zionists are backed into a corner, they come out swinging in a whole new theater" On US-Israeli machinations in the South Caucasus, involving Azerbaijan, Türkiye, and marginally Armenia. "Not only is Azerbaijan allowing its territory to be used by Israel to launch attacks on Iran, but relations between Baku and Moscow have gone in the toilet" Really interesting. Entertaining too.
#Iran #US #Israel #azerbaijan "Baku and Tel Aviv are tight with Azerbaijan a key supplier of fossil fuels (transported through Türkiye) powering the genocide in Gaza and in return receiving Israeli tech and weapons like loitering munitions that gave Azerbaijan the upper hand in its conflicts with Armenia" "What ties all of the outside actors together in the Azerbaijan-Armenia-Türkiye sandwich is the battle for control over a key logistics corridors... Zangezur Corridor"
Elon Musk’s father has stirred controversy by telling Russian media he’d like to visit occupied regions of Ukraine and encouraged his son to visit Russia. He referred to Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders as “artificial” and claimed the annexed territories have “reunited” with Russia—a statement echoing Kremlin propaganda.

GrapheneOS is currently under a state sponsored attack attempting to misrepresent it as being for criminals, which we covered a bit at grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/…. These poorly researched, biased and inaccurate news stories have led to more harassment towards our community and team.
European authoritarians and their enablers in the media are misrepresenting GrapheneOS and even Pixel phones as if they're something for criminals. GrapheneOS is opposed to the mass surveillance police state these people want to impose on everyone.

There has been a surge in executions in Saudi Arabia, particularly in relation to drug offences, a new report published by Amnesty International on Monday has revealed.
Today in Bergen, Norway, I actually encountered a fascist while taking a hike along sandviken.
He confronted me, saying my appearance didn’t fit the Nordic race and called me a disgrace for not dressing “appropriately,” and claimed that the Nordic Resistance Movement is winning big.
I told him “Em, actually, I’m an anarchist, and I don't give a shit about your opinion”, and then told him to “fuck off”, and he did.
Just as in past recent wars (i.e. Iraq and Afghanistan), the reality for IDF troops on the ground in Gaza doesn't line up with the PR spin being put out by the military.
This is why I am so glad this soldier is speaking out and telling the truth about the #WarCrimes being committed by the IDF.
We found a trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) on a very cool orbit: 2020 VN40 orbits the sun exactly once in the same amount of time that Neptune orbits the sun exactly 10 times. It's really far from Neptune (and the rest of the planets), yet very strongly tied to Neptune due to this Mean-Motion Resonance (MMR) in its orbit.
This is an object we discovered in the Large inclination Distant Object (LiDO) Survey, which my team and I ran on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope between 2020-2023, discovering 140 new, moderately high inclination TNOs (>14 degrees relative to Earth's orbit)
This gorgeous plot is called a Poincaire map (made by co-author and brilliant dynamicist Kat Volk), and basically shows orbital elements relative to Neptune that are needed to be in a particular resonance (in this case, the 10:1). When we first discovered this object, the error bars were large enough that we weren't sure it was in the resonance.
The fact the #developer states they won't #support #Android because #PushNotifications on Android are "insecure" (in their opinion) is fallacious at-best. More likely the developer simply doesn't want to invest the time or resources, completely ignoring the fact that Android has a 42% marketshare in the US. Even worse? The developer tells android users to "just buy an #iPhone". Fuck 'em. #ICE #CBP #HSI #DHS #ICEBlock

i tested these threads to destruction and the pull-out force is fairly decent. definitely better than just a normal drilled and tapped hole. the forming tap forms threads without cutting away material like a normal tap
the process is basically melt the flange with the friction drill, then push the threads in with the forming tap. no material is actually removed in the process.

I would love to be excited for season 2 of Sandman. I really loved season 1.
But I *cannot* deal with Neil Gaiman's shit.
I think it's almost easier to deal with a Lovecraft type, where you know you just need to grab whatever good bits are left after cropping out the racist bullshit. Gaiman's "progressive" messaging in his work makes it harder to deal with (even putting aside the additional complication that he's still alive to profit).
The parts of Gaiman's work that are most uncomfortable are the parts that on a surface-level appear to be "good". Knowing the lie, knowing that he uses power to sexually manipulate and control people, I cannot trust any of his work that ostensibly opposes that sort of behavior.
You can pillage the creativity of assholes like Lovecraft because you know any clever ideas they contain deserve better than languishing in bigoted literature. But what do you do when the work is supposed to be "good"?
I wasn't exactly shocked...like, after hearing the allegations, I definitely went "ohhh...that makes sense".
But it *sucks*. I loved Sandman the show and then because of the show I also loved the comics.
I don't think I will ever watch that show or read those comics again. Because it is *gross* seeing that—on the page—Gaiman is saying "the right things" and understanding that was his cover, his excuse.
It totally changes the whole experience of his work, for me.
Writing about dark abusive stuff when you're a genuinely good person grappling with the horrors of the world is one thing... Writing about dark abusive stuff when you get off on actually doing it and apparently view it as a part of yourself that you can't or won't stop, turns the whole perspective sideways. Makes me feel like I'm covered in ants.
I can't listen to Marilyn Manson at all either since I found out he's actually a rapist, sucks all the fun right out of every damned breath of it. Ugh.
@violetmadder My old band got to perform with Dita Von Teese one time around 2005, and most of the guys were excited to take pics with Manson afterwards, but I had already heard the first round of allegations against him by then. Soured me on the whole event even though it was good publicity for us.
But hey, if for some reason you *do* want to read Sandman, the comic book shelves at Half-Price Books are just *full* of Sandman collections. Seems like a lot of people have decided they can do without it.
You library doubtless also has them. Then you don't have to keep them in your house.
Years ago my SIL needlpoineted my daughter his "Monsters can be beaten" quote and I really want my wife who took up needlepoint to add "(Turns out he was a monster)".
I wasn't crazy about the film A Wounded Fawn (it was good but not great), but the bit where Bruce insists it was a different part of him that did all the brutality resembles something I see in assholes like Gaiman.
It looks to me like Gaiman is one of those guys who lies to himself about the abuse he commits & some part of him "believes" it's consensual, even though he is clearly getting off on the fact that it's not. Like, he believes his own hype & compartmentalizes the violence & abuse.
I'm thinking some of the people behind the latest Smurfs movie might just be suffering from Hebrew Fatigue - not only are they shamelessly playing up Gargamel's Jewishness, they're adding an even Jewier Jew to Jew the blue heroes over.

La concurrence arrive à toute vitesse face à la SNCF : on nous promet la révolution et le toujours moins cher, mais fonce-t-on en plein dans une catastrophe industrielle ? Cette semaine Velvet, une filiale privée, a dévoilé son TGV pour desservir l’Ouest de la France : Paris-Bordeaux, Nantes, Angers, Rennes… Velvet dit venir enrichir une offre car les voyageurs “peinent à trouver des places”, et a commandé des trains à Alstom. Quelques jours avant, on apprend que Paris-Marseille n’est plus le monopole de la SNCF ! Ce mois de juin est marqué par l’ouverture à la concurrence de l’axe. La compagnie italienne Trenitalia propose donc aussi ses trajets. 27 euros un Paris-Marseille pour l’inauguration, c’est un record comparé aux prix SNCF. Dans le Figaro, on dépeint des voyageurs conquis et un service au top. Tout cela marque surtout des nouvelles étapes dans l’ouverture à la concurrence. Dans les reportages, on présente la concurrence comme une opportunité pour baisser les prix et améliorer la qualité du service pour attirer les clients et être le plus attractif. Thomas Porcher est clair : ceci ne va qu’affaiblir la SNCF (qui devrait être un vrai service public) et nourrir le privé. Les consommateurs en ressortiront perdants, analyse l’économiste.
La loi pour “simplifier l’agriculture française”, dite loi Duplomb, a été validée au Sénat avant un ultime vote à l’Assemblée Nationale ce mardi 8 juillet. Réintroduction dérogatoire d’un pesticide interdit en France, relèvement des seuils d’autorisation environnementale pour les bâtiments d’élevage, facilitation des constructions relatives au stockage de l’eau… Ces mesures de « simplification » sont portées surtout par la FNSEA et la Coordination rurale. Au grand dam de la confédération paysanne et de la gauche et des écologistes qui fustigent une loi qui va à contre sens des enjeux agricoles et paysans.
Lisa Lap et Thomas Porcher décryptent tout cela, c’est l’Instant Porcher !

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our ser vices are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the enti re network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. Ther e are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s prim ary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another i nstance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com Nextcloud If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. We now have this site also properly federated so any images you share can be viewed on any other Fediverse site by users who follow you, and you can view images posted by anyone on any fediverse site whom you follow.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
Shell Accounts A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.
Web Hosting Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.
Remote Desktop Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.
Applications Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.
E-mail Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security[color] Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.
[color=darkblue]Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.
Available Shell Servers
We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.
All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.
Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).
Alma.Eskimo.Com This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid. Anduinos.Eskimo.Com Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others. Debian.Eskimo.Com Debian Bullseye has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded. Fedora.Eskimo.Com Fedora Rawhide can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed. Kali.Eskimo.Com Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites. Manjaro.Eskimo.Com Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed. Mint.Eskimo.Com Mint is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu. MxLinux.Eskimo.Com MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS. PopOS.Eskimo.Com popOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others. Rocky8.Eskimo.Com Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.
Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com Ubuntu can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools.
