Technically, the High Representative’s role is to reflect the consensus of the member states as an extension of the Council, not to freelance as a supranational policymaker. Yet, Kallas interprets her role otherwise, repeatedly acting as though she speaks on behalf of all Europeans — a top-down, anti-democratic approach that is symptomatic of a broader authoritarian trend supercharged by von der Leyen.

#Kallas, the former Prime Minister of Estonia — a country of just 1.4 million people, fewer than reside in Paris — was confirmed as the EU’s new High Representative for Foreign Affairs in December of last year. Since then, she has come to personify, more vividly than anyone else, the **EU’s toxic blend of incompetence, irrelevance and outright stupidity**.
"The entire so-called “antisemitism crisis” in Australia is like this. The overwhelming majority of it is just people criticizing Israel and trying to do what they can to stop the live-streamed genocide they’ve been watching on their screens every day for two years, which is then deliberately conflated with the actions of a few fringe actors with frequently suspicious motives.
“Antisemitism” means criticism of Israel. That’s just what it means now. It used to mean something else, but years of bad faith actors using that word in the most dishonest ways imaginable to defend the most horrific things you’ve ever seen has changed the definition. It is no longer possible to separate that word from this sustained campaign of mass deception.
Anti-Israel sentiment is often treated as if it's the product of mass antisemitism or weird hypnosis whose tricks we'll never understand. But the truth is pretty simple: people don't like Israel because Israel is committing genocide. That's it.

I've been looking into alternatives to #GoogleDrive, #iCloud and #OneDrive …
Originally, I was going to move everything to OneDrive, but I've possibly had a change of heart.
I've moved everything from GoogleDrive because ... well, Google. And now, in the #UK, it seems that iCloud is no longer going to be safe as Apple will no longer offer advanced protection – thanks government! I currently use iCloud as a mirrored desktop, so it's on my Mac and laptop. I'm happy with the Mac and MacBook, but I'm not happy that iCloud is now going to be 'open’ to the UK government.
Now, I thought I'd move everything to OneDrive – but storing all my stuff on a US server doesn't sit right with me. So I decided to go with #Filen. Am exploring it at the moment, and it looks like I can sync automatically, so any work I’m doing I can save directly to Filen – which is basically what I'm doing with iCloud.

This is fucking amazing, poetic, angry, real political stuff about why Ireland sees Palestine. (transcript below)
reshared this
Irishness has taken a revolutionary turn in the cultural landscape. And it’s not just an influx of hot people wearing Claddagh rings and Pellador gansies because Paul Mescal got papped rocking GAA shorts. This new development is rooted in something far deeper than Depop. This is about Kneecap and the return to the party in leftist politics.
Depoliticised and stripped of all radical analysis, Irishness on the world stage became a tale of cups of tea, Tayto and drinking yourself to death on a bar stool. Shamrock-washing the colonial memory, lulling all revolutionary potentials. Still groggy from the socialist dreams of James Connolly, we replaced our dark history of struggle and resistance with heritage sites and Riverdance and a gift shop where you can buy cute little leprechaun stickers.
As victims of a bloody colonial empire that brutalised, raped and pillaged the land, we were told to shake it off and turn our Irishness into a brand deal, into a tax haven for foreign direct investments, to blunt ourselves of the sharp parts, to heal our dark hearts and become the non-offensive butt of a joke that doesn’t upset our slave masters.
So we became storytellers, but only telling stories that were preapproved and didn’t have any enemies. We were told to assimilate, to save face or face humiliation, to lose the culture and keep the costume. Maggie Thatcher is watching you.
Kneecap have put the resistance back into politics, awakening a new energy on the left, one that’s rooted in power rather than victimhood, that doesn’t celebrate victory in defeat or get trapped in a comments section with nowhere to go. Showing solidarity for Palestinian struggle, organising and calling out war-mongerers who want to cancel the Belfast bap, we can glimpse the new horizon on the right side of history, where a future finally feels possible and nationalism isn’t a means of exclusion when you can see yourself in someone else’s eyes.
Kneecap marked a return to subaltern rage and protest, invoking insurgency in young people everywhere. An antidote to the end stage of identity politics. An uprising based on shared struggle rather than what side of the wall you were born on. Of left unity rather than the obsession with being right.
So we use our voice, our language to stand up for our neighbours on the other side of the globe. Because without our words, our silence is complicity and power is unchallenged and genocide is sanctioned and dissent is subdued and our past becomes their present with no lessons or lectures, just bodies.
So this new Irishness is a refusal, a refusal to be the punchline in the Paddy Irishman joke, a postcard in an American’s dream, placated by points and pacified by postcolonial revisionist histories. We were told to smile and say thank you. So we smiled through occupation, through the penal laws and plantations, through famine, through genocide. And now our smile is gone and our teeth are clenched. And we look to Palestine because we know empire when we see it.
And when the elite try to paint your grief as graffiti and your resistance as barbarism, we remember how long Ireland took to dig up its own bodies.
Palestine is a country full of culture and history. Our heritage is combining art, music, food, history, stories of many generations where we stand on our land and still exist despite everything that’s happening which is trying to delete our history, our culture, even our culinary heritage.
So Palestine, it’s not just a country that existed for some years, it’s being going thousands of years and carries a lot of culture and heritage. And I’m so proud to be Palestinian and feel privileged. But also it’s very painful, especially in these days when you see what’s happening as a genocide, and how much they are trying with a worldwide effort to basically delete everything Palestinian. But we are still here.
I don't know if there is a God, but I do know that if there is one - at least one I would follow - God loves the Irish.
"The Choctaw...managed to raise around $170 and sent it half-way across to the world to try ease the suffering of the Irish...people they would likely never encounter...money, worth around $4,000 [today]...despite themselves living in hardship and poverty, and having recently endured the 'Trail of Tears' - a series of forced relocations.."

We need to work on our legal system.
I've heard WAY too many people who simply know better saying things like "well, this is an 'act of god'" about flash flooding.
No. It is not. And we need to fix the law to get rid of that ridiculous ancient construct. There are no "acts of god", according to the law, or there shouldn't be. I have freedom of religion. How do I have that if my insurance company can say "act of god" and I'm not allowed to collect on the insurance? When I acknowledge no such entity?
Flash floods, wildfires, mudslides, polar vortices, all of this. None of it is an "act of god". They're all acts which are the direct consequence of HUMAN BEHAVIOUR.
We have to stop allowing people to say "oh, well, sky daddy did it" and shrugging when it comes to helping people live through climate change.

Ever find yourself with a few minutes to spare and a craving for something that’s both challenging and instantly gratifying? Then let me introduce you to Slope Game, a deceptively simple yet utterly addictive online game that will test your reflexes and spatial reasoning to their absolute limit. You can find it at Slope Game, and trust me, once you start, you might find it hard to stop!
This isn't some flashy, story-driven epic. Slope Game is pure, unadulterated gameplay. It strips away the unnecessary bells and whistles and delivers a raw, engaging experience that's perfect for a quick burst of fun or a longer session of competitive high-score chasing. So, how exactly do you play? Let's break it down.
Getting to Grips: The Gameplay of Slope Gamerward: you control a rolling ball as it navigates a procedurally generated, downward-sloping course made of blocks. Think of it like a never-ending rollercoaster, but you're in control of the car, and the tracks are constantly shifting and disappearing.
The controls are minimalist, relying on just two keys: the left and right arrow keys (or A and D, if you prefer). These keys steer your ball left and right, allowing you to dodge obstacles like red blocks that instantly end your run, and navigate the constantly changing terrain.
The beauty of Slope Game lies in its increasing difficulty. As you progress further down the slope, the speed increases, the gaps between blocks widen, and the overall challenge intensifies. The game cleverly introduces subtle variations in the terrain, like slightly angled blocks that require more precise steering, and even blocks that suddenly change color, adding an extra layer of visual complexity.
What makes it truly engaging is the sense of momentum. You're constantly gaining speed, and the feeling of barely avoiding an obstacle by the skin of your teeth is incredibly exhilarating. The procedural generation also means that no two runs are ever the same, keeping the experience fresh and unpredictable.
It's a simple premise, yes, but its elegant design and addictive gameplay loop make Slope Game a compelling experience for players of all skill levels. Even just a few minutes of playing can provide a surprisingly intense and satisfying challenge.

If those audiences put even minimal effort into learning the basics of these cases, it’s possible mainstream public opinion will finally turn — not on Trump, but on the concocted Trump-Russia mania of those years, which deserves a place in history next to or even above the WMD scandal as the biggest intelligence fiasco of our time.

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.
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.
Zorin.Eskimo.Com
Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.
Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.'
We also offer web hosting, e-mail, and virtual private servers.

Elina Bakunova aka "Eli from Russia" visited Iran before the military conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US began. Before she left, her friends were like, "You're going to Iran? It's so dangerous!" But she found once she arrived in Iran, she never felt in any danger. The Iranian people were kind and curious. She feels the reality of Iran is different from how the media portrays it. She explores the city of Shiraz, visits geographic and historical landmarks, tries the local food, and so fourth. Her English-speaking guides (the whole video is conducted in English) are very good. Officially, Iran is an Islamic country with many restrictions, but many people have little interest in the religion and the restrictions, especially young people. People comply more in public but often in private people ignore the restrictions all the time. There is a difference between the government and the politics and the regular people. The video has very good music.
