En serio, si creéis que el antirracismo es aplaudir a quien, cayendo en una constante de la izquierda, "defiende" la migración porque "hacen curros que nadie quiere" y "sostienen la economia del país"... es utilitarismo.
Iba a hablar de un error de la izquierda, pero no lo es cuando ya se ha dicho por activa y por pasiva que reducir a personas a su capacidad productiva no es ni antirracista ni tampoco anticapitalista.
No considerar al antirracismo interlocutor valido es otra forma de racismo.

#USA has imposed 50% tariffs on #EU imports, and #Brussels has cancelled a $43 billion contract with #Boeing, rerouted its supply chains through #Canada, and shifted over $2 trillion worth of trade away from #Washington.
What we are seeing is the collapse of #US-EU economic relations. The total economic collapse of the West. This is a tectonic shift in global power, and the West can watch the next economic order take shape without a seat at the table.
At the same time, Trump is imposing 25% tariffs on #Japan and #SamsungRepublic, which are expected to take effect on August 1. With dozens of nations facing similar threats, this strategy will weaken Western partnerships rather than strengthen #US influence.
The #isolationism that will destroy the Evil "empire" is here to stay.

Australian Police Assault Green Party Candidate Hannah Thomas During Pro-Palestine Protest
Hannah Thomas, a lawyer and recent Green Party candidate who ran against Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the federal seat of Grayndler, has reportedly been violently assaulted by Australian police during a protest. The demonstration took place outside a company accused by protesters of cooperating with #Israel. According to reports, #Thomas sustained serious injuries to one of her eyes during her arrest and was rushed to hospital. Doctors fear she may lose her vision as a result.
A brutal massacre unfolded in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, after Israeli occupation forces targeted a crowd of starved Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, the devastating airstrike killed 16 civilians, including 10 children, as desperate parents stood in line to receive nutritional supplements for their little ones.
In a new horrific war crime, "Israel" bombed a queue of women and children awaiting food supplements in Deir al-Balah amid an alarming starvation crisis.
Two of Gaza’s largest hospitals have issued desperate pleas for help, warning that fuel shortages caused by Israel’s siege could soon turn the medical centres into “silent graveyards”.
The warnings from al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza City and Nasser Hospital in southern Khan Younis came on Wednesday, as Israeli forces continued to bombard the Palestinian enclave, killing at least 74 people.

An Israeli advocacy group has petitioned the Supreme Court to declare PM Netanyahu unfit for office, accusing him of breaching conflict-of-interest rules and eroding the rule of law.
The petition, filed by the NGO Democratic Fortress, accuses Netanyahu of violating his conflict-of-interest agreement and argues he should be declared "incapacitated" under the "defensive democracy" principle, according to a report by Maariv newspaper.

Israel has continued to demolish homes in the Tulkarm refugee camp as the number of displaced Palestinians rises to more than 40,000 since the military operation in the occupied West Bank began in January.
According to Israeli rights group B’Tselem, Israeli offensives in Tulkarm, Nur Shams, and Jenin camps have led to the displacement of tens of thousands.
On the evening of July 2, dozens of Israeli settlers descended on the West Bank shepherding village of Al-Muarrajat.
They broke into homes, stole around 60 sheep, and erected a small outpost inside the village. By the next morning, settlers were seen sitting alongside Israeli soldiers at the newly built outpost, now moved just meters from the village school.
Glenn #Diesen #Norway is becoming an authoritarian country. Our government, the US government, and the CIA-cutout National Endowment for Democracy ( #NED) finance "non-governmental organisations" (NGOs) such as the Norwegian Helsinki Committee to smear, intimidate, censor, and cancel dissent.
There is plenty of literature on how governments finance "NGOs" to hijack civil society and use human rights to promote regime change and wars. Besides leaving a trail of disasters behind them abroad, they also punish dissent at home.
I have been at the receiving end of endless articles and weekly smears online from this so-called human rights "NGO" for more than four years, which continues to go after my university even after I had to withdraw from all national media. Their other activities include cancelling my speaking events and doxxing me.
Now, this "NGO" is being banned in Russia, and they blame me for it. Why? Twenty professors and academics signed a letter criticizing this "NGO" for harassing me, and now the "NGO" speculates that it attracted the attention of the FSB. This is the actual story they are going with, but it is good enough for the people we generously refer to as journalists.
A few weeks ago, a journalist applied and was granted full access to all my documents at the university, which includes everything from the job application to my professorship promotion application. Why? To go through everything and look for anything that can be presented as academic dishonesty. This is how you get academics fired.
The useful idiots of this "NGO" even produced an absurd Wikipedia profile on me, where my occupation was not "Professor" but "Russian propagandist." Returning to my home country after 20 years abroad was truly the greatest mistake of my life. I do not recognize this country anymore, and I wear the absurd personal attacks by these government-financed trolls as a badge of honour. Absolutely pathetic and unworthy of an open society
This Open Source Mobile Comm project appears to be an open source impl of a 3G network's backend software. But they're not using the standard 3GPP protocols, they're using their own home-grown stuff instead.
Looks like a toy, using SQLite3 as its HLR storage. Real 3G/4G networks use LDAP, lots of OpenLDAP in particular because nothing else scales enough, efficiently enough.
Admittedly, I haven't been paid to touch an HLR since 2001 (once upon a time I obtained the probably not coveted: "Acatel Certified HLR Technician" title).
Back then, they were still running Sybase for their SQL implementation! Yikes!
Admittedly, even that employer (which had HLRs old enough they were still branded: "DSC" from before Alcatel had acquired them) offloaded all the SQL to three-way fault tolerant/redundant "Resilience" (if I am remembering the vendor name correctly, which I might not be anymore) systems.
I don't even remember the last time I thought about those systems and their "FT-SPARC" (the FT for "Fault Tolerant") lock-step jank! So expensive! So slow! Despite the "FT" branding, I have at least one memory of an HLR crashing because the serial console [a WYSE terminal IIRC] attached to it went poof and the friggin thing basically halted as a result. That was a "fun" night in the NOC! (We did, eventually, somehow, manage to drag that company from "two nines" to "three nines" of uptime before I quit in 2001.)
IIRC Osmocom could at least handle GSM? The Sybase vintage stuff I was paid to work on was all mostly still the AMPS vintage.
That employer's SS7 packet sniffer, was bought used and ran DOS and still cost $40,000!
So, "toy" or not, I don't think the commercial market really had much to offer as a viable alternative way back when? I do remember some other company demoed a fancier SS7 packet sniffer running on a Tadpole (Solaris era)! The laptop alone probably cost over $20k! I don't remember what they wanted to charge for their software, but six figures before decimal places seems familiar? Certainly in alignment with the obscenely expensive prices they paid for some other things (I think NetCool licenses cost five figures back then and were a far cry from even something as rudimentary as nagios).
That company (which eventually got a third round of funding from Marconi if memory serves) thought the Tadpole/Solaris SS7 packet sniffer upgrade was too expensive and passed on the snazzy GUI and what would have been (by comparison) a merciful way to grep and sed through output without having to write something to a floppy disk from DOS sniffer and load it onto a better system for more sophisticated analysis as we had been doing, if the need arose.
I am pretty out of touch with more recent Osmocom developments; but good to see they were at least considering LMDB?
Chaos Communications Camp circa 2011 had a fun presentation that Karsten Nohl et al gave which leveraged OsmocomBB to some extent?
HAR in 2009 also had an Osmocom event only cellular system (as more of a proof of concept alternative to the CCC popular DECT phone stuff) IIRC? Definitely worthwhile research for what it was, but I don't know if they really ever had objectives to be much more than research? I'm guessing WHY (the 2025 iteration of HAR: why2025.org/) might have something new and improved if laforge is attending? I would like to (I had way more fun at HAR than CCCamp), but I don't think it's in the cards for me.

ACHTUNG! Il n’y a qu’UNE seule et UNIQUE information diffusée par Big Sister et Big Brother, et ce bunker y veillera partout où une liberté de pensée et d’opinion ose s’exercer, notamment dans les #médias alternatifs et sur les horribles réseaux sociaux. Si #UVdL n’est pas une petite-fille de nazi (ce serait une fake new) en matière de #censure et de "paquets de #sanctions", elle ne laisse pas sa part à l’infâme #Mertz. Pas seulement contre la #Russie envers laquelle elle a une haine totale (la raclée infligée par l’Armée Rouge à Hitler reste en travers de la gorge de certains Allemands), mais aussi contre tous les citoyens européens qu’elle compte bien mener à la badine cloutée. Et vu les claques qu’elle ramasse sur X à chacune de ses apparitions, elle veillera à ce que la Gedankenpolizei soit particulièrement inflexible sur le réseau social de ce libertaire de Musk.
Frau #VonderLeyen kündigt (hier auf Deutsch) die Einrichtung eines Panoptikum-Bunkers zur #Überwachung der #Informationen an, um „Manipulationen“ und „ausländische Einmischung“ zu bekämpfen und „Sanktionen“ zu verhängen. ACHTUNG! Es gibt nur EINE und EINE Information, die von Big Sister und Big Brother verbreitet wird, und dieser Bunker wird dafür sorgen, dass dies überall dort geschieht, wo Gedanken- und Meinungsfreiheit herrscht, insbesondere in den alternativen #Medien und den schrecklichen sozialen Netzwerken. Wenn #UVdL keine Nazi-Enkelin ist (das wäre eine Fake News), wenn es um #Zensur und "#Sanktionspakete" geht, überlässt sie ihren Anteil nicht dem berüchtigten #Mertz. Nicht nur gegen #Russland, gegen das sie einen totalen Hass hegt (die Prügel, die die Rote Armee Hitler zugefügt hat, steckt manchen Deutschen noch in den Knochen), sondern auch gegen alle europäischen Bürger, die sie mit der Nagelpeitsche zu führen gedenkt. Und angesichts der Ohrfeigen, die sie bei jedem ihrer Auftritte auf X kassiert, wird sie dafür sorgen, dass die Gedankenpolizei im sozialen Netzwerk dieses libertären Musk besonders unnachgiebig ist.

It’s amusing that the little sock puppet serving as the figurehead for the Kiev regime actually thinks his opinion matters.
#Ukraine must be involved in any #negotiations for a peace deal with #Russia, President #VolodymyrZelensky insisted on Sunday. The Ukrainian leader says that he won’t accept any deals made between U.S. President #DonaldTrump and Russian President #VladimirPutin if he and his team are not also invited to the table.
‘I will never accept any decisions between the #UnitedStates and #Russia about Ukraine – never,’ Zelesnky told NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker. ‘And our people, never. And our adults, and children, and everybody, it can’t be so.’
Nobody asked him and nobody cares. Not only can it be so, it will be so. There are precisely two choices: 1. The USA negotiates a peace settlement with Russia. 2. Russia dictates an unconditional surrender.
That’s it. That’s the entire list. And it was obvious from the very start back in February 2022. Notice that nowhere on it appears anything about #Zelensky, the #Kiev #regime, the #UN, the #TerranConfederation, #Starfleet, or the #EuropeanUnion. All of those entities are #irrelevant to the outcome.

And I am fully ageeing with that but the point of this is one more that we should start covering car lots first before we put up endless rows in fields
Both is a great option but start with the crappy one first I guess 😉
But I understand that here in Louisiana, it's impossible. You see, if we covered our car parks then the cars we're forced to use wouldn't get steaming hot under the summer sun.
Sorry, it's very important that we make everyone extremely miserable for no reason. It's extremely important that we don't provide any shade to parked cars here in hot miserable Louisiana.
We also got rid of window awnings. That was very important also.
As panels are getting cheap, the support structure becomes a serious part of the cost (and even of the embedded energy). You need a lot more steel and foundations for such elevated panels.
Not sure about now, but not too long ago parking lots were money-losing PR projects(look us being green), while the field ones were serious.
Once we have enough PV to saturate summer peaks, every next panel produces less useful power. So lower cost is critical
(there are some plants that, in some parts of the world, have been shown to grow better in the partial shade provided by solar panels than they would in the full sun)
(I suspect that they would be a bit higher up than they seem to be in the first image)
meh. Fields of monoculture crops have very little biodiversity and certainly aren't natural. While wild grassland under solar is pretty good. And if the field was growing corn or similar for a biofuel, then the solar covered field will create about 6 times more energy in the same area. Alternatively, there are quite a lot of crops that do very well when partially shared. Yields of strawberry under PV is better than conventional practices.
Rooftop solar, on just HALF of the world's roofs, would produce MORE electricity than is used today from ALL sources. And would uplift all people, strengthen all people, and drive a permanent economic boom.
Let every Neighbourhood become Saudi Arabia, but free.
In California, where it's often quite dry, we are putting solar farms over some fields to conserve water. In some cases, crops are being planted alongside solar panels. There are many benefits from this dual use, and many applications. Of course we are a massive state "... the size of the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Kosovo and Czech Republic combined.” I imagine that in smaller countries it would be unpleasant to see solar farms everywhere you look.
All the nations have transmission lines. Running across acres and acres, across manufacturing zones, beside residential areas, from powerplant to city to harbour.
Often VERY cheap because govt already owns land.
Put solar UNDER ALL THE LINES, mile after mile after mile.
Put the solar cells at eight feet, feed goats on the brush beneath the solar arrays, and tomatoes.
We need them on more parking structures, I agree. There are too many plants that like that kind of light for the fields to be the ones complaining about this though.
Pollinators—such as bees, butterflies, and other insects—are critical to the success of about 35 percent of global food crop production. Learn about the benefits of establishing pollinator-friendly plants under and around ground-mounted solar arrays.
"In Georgia, sheep on a solar farm is not a baaad idea We're losing vital agricultural land. But is solar the main culprit?" grist.org/climate-energy/in-ge…
Galaxy brain: large enough parking lots for a solar farm shouldn’t exist in cities and we should abolish car dependence and build walabke cities to be green.
Also infra for over solar covering car ports is 100x more expensive than some cheap panels in an field.
However there are agrovoltaic systems where spread out panels are elevated above certain crops. They protect fruit yields from excess sun leading to needing excessive watering according to studies.
But yes the urban areas are seeeeriously missed. Did you know you can install them on walls and fencing. They cool better.
Uhm cover both the fields and the car parks. Covering the fields is good for the plants (including the crops! higher yield!), insects and small animals on the fields.
Sometimes placing solar panels on farms actually helps. You may need less irrigation and the optimal amount of sunlight is different for various crops. This may, of course, depend on your climate: it is not "one size fits all."
here in California we have giant fires going on where they just put in controversial grass field solar, which is another point for car parks/parking lots getting solar first. It's closer to where people are, requiring less transmission distance and less vulnerable to wildland cycles of fire & flood.
I've actually read somewhere that covering fields with solar panels instead of mono-cultured farm land actually helps nature, especially animals that can use it to live under and find food (that would potentially not grow on farm land or be polluted with pesticides)
Also seeing as we need to focus on getting rid of cars first I kinda feel like it's a waste of resources to try to make parking cars feel better by adding shadow. 👀
Just get rid of the car parks, put down plants and the solar panels on top. Maybe even some nice parks and sitting areas under it.
Although there is something to be said for putting solar on already-used land if there is a requirement for power there, that car park is probably half the problem - people really need to think about alternative means of travel, and if they need to travel in the first place. Would much prefer it if every public building had solar panels on their rooves.
I like the idea of solar paving slabs durable enough to walk on and even cover roads.
I'm surprised governments aren't scrambling to invest in these. Instead the UK wants nuclear power stations that'll cost magnitudes more, and take decades to build and integrate with the grid. Madness...
Farmers have been willing to lease their land to solar companies because it’s guaranteed income and they don’t have to wrestle with year to year weather struggles, yields, labor, etc. It’s guaranteed income and usually higher income than from their traditional farming efforts.
some crops benefit from the shade actually. Some farmers who aren't yet bought out by big corpos need the extra dosh from hosting solar to stay independent too.
Why not just get rid of car parks entirely and make public transit freely accessible?
Solar panels actually improve the yields of raspberries and grapes, because those crops are sensitive to too much direct sunlight. I'm sure there are other crops that benefit, I just haven't seen any papers that talk about them.
Solar panels plus farming? Agrivoltaics explained. Could combining solar panels plus farming be a viable solution to the growing demand for food production a...
@michaelrowe01 I don't understand why this is not a thing. It's absurd to cover perfectly good land with solar panels when they can be used on the roofs of parking lots, office buildings, homes, and more.🙄
You've seen drivers right? And what they do to the bollards and barriers in parking lots? If I'm the power company, I'm not putting expensive generating infrastructure where people are going to be constantly parking their cars right next to the pillars holding it up.

At the risk of being contrarian to the admin of my instance (😬):
Intelligent use of solar panels *can* actually enhance the productivity of agricultural land. Turns out a lot of plants and animals evolved in environments that are occasionally shaded. Who knew? 🤷♀️
And car parks large enough to support a solar farm shouldn't exist to begin with. Put housing and mixed-use buildings there with panels on the roof, instead of panels over an endless plane of tarmac.
@mwyman Covering fields allows farmers to grow shade plants like greens while reducing water consumption. It's a good idea in many ways. (There's nothing wrong with covering car parks also.)_
Actually, there have been experiments with elevated solar panels over the fields and some crops grow better with partial sun than with full sun full time. It also shields the crop from some things, including helping to shield the crop from extreme wind events and some kinds of bird damage. I would rather see the solar panels on buildings and car parks and bridges and protecting rivers from excessive operation, but that doesn't mean you can't use them over your fields as well when there's an advantage in that.

if that's not secure enough, you could put the HSM into a gas cylinder and pressurize it to 300 bar. the tamper detection circuitry breaks off the valve
Banking has had "active zeroization" hardware going back to at least the 1990s last I looked into such realms?
The destruction doesn't need to be particularly explosive when contending with most PCB level designs. At least, not that anyone would consider explosive who has contended with "srs" explosives. Does a popped capacitor seem explosive? It can make a loud noise! "Magic smoke" moments and hardware becoming inoperative are usually more than sufficient. IIRC, マクロスプラス「makurosu purasu」"Macross Plus" had a scene of some similar level circuit board destruction in animated form in the early to mid 1990s.
Thankfully, I haven't worked anywhere that had a "grandfathered" Halon fire presuppression system in operation since 2006! Even before that I had worked at places which had at least transitioned to non-lethal FM200 (not as volumetrically dense than Halon for storage, but won't kill you if deployed). The risks for some sorts of things are nontrivial. You never know what poor SOB might be in a server room after all, and do you want their blood on your hands if Halon got deployed because of some overly aggressive "detonation"?
There used to be the informal parlance: "It's the US Army, not the THEM Army" and every soul was counted and depended on and the goal was to save as many lives as possible.
However, last I checked, Halon was still used in military systems probably with more cavalier abandon than that past employer of mine with their "grandfathered" system circa 2006? With the requisite casualty considerations presumably still being calculated by some higher up brass.
I had one colleague who mentioned "thermite" when it came to such things; but I think that was in an unofficial DIY capacity, not something produced and sold and deployed? I can hope! Admittedly, that individual worked for SAIC as their day job (and as the joke used to go: "Like the CIA" backwards) so who the hell knows?
I wouldn't put it past the military to make a bigger mess of things; but there are many reasons I never formally enlisted!
My dad was drafted back when conscription was still a thing and the mercenary industrial complex already predated upon me and my friends when we were minors. None of us enlisted, no matter what evil deeds they had already made us do.
To wit, the only person from where we grew up who became military (or maybe cop?) adjacent was the son of a cocaine dealer, just to give an indication of how corrupt such realms had become and what might entice someone to become an authority figure in such circles.
TL;DR if folks are making detonating HSMs?
They're fucking morons and they're going to learn some very hard lessons, the very hard way, someday, presumably. Maybe not this lifetime, but eventually.
Biden’s Doctor Fuels Cover-Up Claims With Extraordinary Move

[…] They say – don’t say Nazis, don’t make comparisons. It’s no longer shocking. It’s clear to me that from my current position on the margins of Israeli society, I can only be shocked, not shock others. Most Israelis don’t see a connection between obsessive education about concentration camps from the Holocaust era and establishing a concentration camp for another people under brutal Israeli military control. What can even be done in the face of this tragic pathology?
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans to establish what he termed a “humanitarian city” in Gaza to house the entire population of over 2 million people. Katz clarified that there would be no exit from the camp while promising an “emigration program” would be implemented.
Alpher acknowledges this is actually a concentration camp - a fenced compound of tents where the only way out would be through emigration from Gaza entirely - a moral horror that facilitates forced displacement and ethnic cleansing, noting the tragic irony that Israelis who were educated about #Holocaust now support creating concentration camps for another people under Israeli military control.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim warned Wednesday that global trade is being weaponized as Southeast Asia's foreign ministers held annual talks ahead of the looming threat of US trade tariffs.
From 2020 to 2024, private weapons manufacturers got $2.4 trillion in Pentagon contracts, roughly 54% of its discretionary budget
During those 5 years, the U.S. government invested over twice as much money in five weapons companies as in diplomacy and international assistance. $771 billion went to just 5 firms: Lockheed Martin ($313 billion), RTX (formerly Raytheon, $145 billion), Boeing ($115 billion), General Dynamics ($116 billion), and Northrop Grumman ($81 billion). The total diplomacy, development, and humanitarian aid budget, excluding military aid, was $356 billion.
I keep on thinking about the #Postoffice #Horizon scandal (for those of you not based in UK: About 1,000 post office operators were wrongfully prosecuted and convicted by the Post Office between 1999 and 2015, because of faulty Horizon accounting software that suggested they had committed fraud).
It is absolutely terrible how all this unfolded (so much racism in it, too, no doubt) and the devastating impact this had on so many families.
