Its easy to be exasperated with the people who appear to have only just figured out that killing 17,000 children is not cool and not self-defence. I have expressed some of that exasperation.

I'm interested in the idea of building rigid high strength frames, for example for a lathe or milling machine frame, by burning out shapes in plate steel on a CNC plasma cutter, then assembling those plates with 3d printed support jigs holding them together and bolting through them with long bolts. Then pour the interior with concrete and after the concrete sets up, tension the bolts to prestress the concrete...
It's a bit limited in shape, you can't really include the type of features you see in cast iron, but machine bases typically don't need them that much.
When you're attaching a component to the base which needs precise orientation, you attach it to a jig which holds it true, then you bring the bed up to it and you epoxy the mating surfaces so the epoxy acts as a shim. After the epoxy hardens you can tension the hold-down bolts.
I've been thinking about this, I have two possible solutions:
1. Air bearings which are obviously self-cleaning
2. Oil bearings with an oil pump which forces a continuous stream of fresh (filtered) oil into the bearings and sweeps away dust
Air bearings have really good precision, but they're expensive to buy commercially and not that easy to make, so I tend to lean toward #2, but I don't know how much oil flow you can push without it beginning to lift the carriage up off of the ways...
I imagine somebody has studied this because it seems weird not to...

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian suffered minor injuries in an Israeli air strike on a meeting of the Supreme National Security Council in Tehran on June 15, a senior Iranian official said.
The assassination attempt targeted the heads of the three branches of government in an effort to overthrow it, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The strike was carried out shortly before noon during a meeting attended by the heads of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the government along with other senior officials.
The semiofficial Fars news agency also reported new details on the assassination attempt during Israel’s 12-day war with #Iran, which was first announced by the Iranian president in an interview released on Monday.
The session was taking place in the lower level of a government facility in western #Tehran when the attack started, Fars reported. The building’s entrances and exits were hit by six missiles to block escape routes and cut off air flow.
Electricity was severed following the explosions, but Iranian officials managed to escape through a pre-designated emergency hatch, including the president, who is said to have sustained minor leg injuries while evacuating.

Yes, it's possible to run different operating systems on mobile phones through virtualization and emulation, though with some limitations:
For Android phones:
- Ubuntu Touch can be installed directly on compatible Android devices like the Google Pixel 3a/3a XL and Fairphone 4[^1]
- Linux distributions like postmarketOS, Mobian, and Manjaro ARM can run on specific phone models[^11]
- Windows 10/11 can be virtualized using QEMU, though performance is very slow and not practical for daily use[^19]
For newer Android 13+ phones:
- Windows 11 ARM can run in a virtual machine thanks to improved virtualization support[^13]
- According to developer Danny Lin, who demonstrated Windows 11 running on a Pixel 6: "Windows 11 as a VM on Pixel 6" is possible through Android 13's standardized virtualization system[^13]
For running Android within Android:
- VMOS allows running a virtual Android environment inside your primary Android system, complete with Play Store access and root capabilities[^24]
The key limitations are:
- Device compatibility is restricted to specific phone models
- Performance may be significantly slower than native OS
- Not all hardware features and peripherals are supported
- Installation can be complex and may require technical knowledge

Last night, a group of Israeli settlers stormed the Ein Samia wells, causing widespread destruction and rendering the entire site inoperable. All systems have gone offline, resulting in a total loss of communication and control.
The Ein Samia wells are the only source of water for dozens of Palestinian villages and communities. The damage caused puts thousands of lives at risk and constitutes a deliberate attack on critical civilian infrastructure.

🔴 C’est une affaire que l’Elysée préférerait ne jamais voir ressurgir. Depuis huit ans, la justice enquête sur l’organisation d’une soirée qui s’est déroulée le 6 janvier 2016 à #LasVegas autour du ministre de l’Economie de l’époque, un certain Emmanuel #Macron. Le juge d’instruction, Serge Tournaire, a fini ses investigations et doit désormais décider s’il demande un procès pour les protagonistes de l’événement, dont l’ex-ministre du Travail Muriel #Pénicaud. Accusée de « complicité de favoritisme », celle-ci conteste sa mise en examen devant la chambre d’instruction.
Retour dix ans en arrière. En novembre 2015, les conseillers d’Emmanuel Macron cogitent sur un déplacement de leur champion au plus grand salon de l’innovation numérique au monde à Las Vegas. Une occasion pour lui d’incarner la start-up nation et de rencontrer de riches entrepreneurs alors qu’il s’apprête à créer son parti En Marche avec la présidentielle en ligne de mire. « Habituellement, les ministres se contentaient d’un petit pot, mais là les ambitions étaient plus fortes », observe un haut fonctionnaire de Bercy.
Infraction au Code des marchés publics
Afin de financer la soirée, le cabinet d’Emmanuel Macron se tourne vers l’agence publique Business France, alors dirigée par Muriel #Pénicaud et dotée d’un confortable budget de communication de 9 millions d’euros. Problème : l’entité va sous-traiter l’événement à l’agence de com’ #Havas Paris pour un total de 380 000 euros sans mettre d’autres sociétés en concurrence. Soit une infraction caractérisée au Code des marchés publics…
Une décennie plus tard, pas question pour Muriel Pénicaud de porter le chapeau. Face au juge en octobre 2023, elle a assuré que la soirée avait été entièrement pilotée par sa directrice de la communication Fabienne Bothy-Chesneau, « une cadre dirigeante avec une rémunération de 12 000 euros quand la mienne était de 13 000 euros », précise-t-elle. Avant de poursuivre : « Jamais jusqu’à début mars 2016, je n’ai su que la totalité était confiée à Havas. On me l’a caché sciemment. »
Des mails compromettants exhumés
Au fil de leur enquête, les policiers ont pourtant mis la main sur plusieurs mails qui montrent que l’ex-patronne de Business France avait un œil sur le bon déroulement de la soirée. Le 19 novembre 2015, elle indique à une conseillère d’Emmanuel Macron que « Business France prépare activement Las Vegas ». Le lendemain, après une réunion d’une heure et demie entre ses équipes et le cabinet du ministre, elle reçoit un premier canevas de la soirée avec la mention d’un budget prévisionnel de 300 000 euros.
De quoi prouver sa connaissance du coût de la soirée et de la nécessité de passer un appel d’offres avec mise en concurrence ? « Un budget de 300 000 euros ne veut pas dire une commande publique par Business France de 300 000 euros, il y a très souvent plusieurs cofinanceurs », argue-t-elle. Une version contestée par Fabienne Bothy-Chesneau, mise en examen pour « favoritisme », un mois plus tard devant le même juge : « Muriel Pénicaud a été informée que Havas s’occupait de tout et du budget. Et elle savait bien qu’il n’y avait pas eu d’appels d’offres. »
Pour se dédouaner, Muriel Pénicaud met en avant un audit réalisé après coup, à sa demande, par le cabinet EY qui la met hors de cause. Mais l’avocat de Fabienne Bothy-Chesneau pointe que les auteurs de l’audit n’ont jamais entendu sa cliente, qui avait quitté Business France entretemps, alors que les autres membres de la direction ont pu s’expliquer et… modifier le contenu du rapport d’audit. Pis, ils ont même pu explorer la boîte mail de Fabienne Bothy-Chesneau pour ajouter des éléments à charge. « Le rapport d’audit n’a pas été réalisé à la suite d’une enquête interne rigoureuse, objective et impartiale », tacle l’avocat dans une note.
Pression des conseillers d’Emmanuel Macron
Un point semble faire consensus : la soirée a été préparée dans l’urgence. Avec des conseillers d’Emmanuel Macron qui multiplient les doléances : refus d’une soirée exclusivement organisée par le Medef, demande d’un lieu plus central que l’année précédente, échange avec une star de la tech américaine, etc. En trois semaines, le budget prévisionnel bondit de quelque 150 000 euros. « Fais vite, il faut que le cabinet soit content », serinait Muriel Pénicaud à Fabienne Bothy-Chesneau selon ses dires.
Une précipitation qui a empêché le lancement d’un marché public en bonne et due forme ? « Il n’était matériellement pas possible d’organiser cet événement en respectant scrupuleusement les procédures d’achats, avance le responsable du contrôle interne de Business France face aux enquêteurs. Soit il aurait fallu savoir dire non, soit demander aux organismes de tutelle les dérogations idoines. » « Si un appel d’offres avait été lancé, cela aurait tué le projet », lâche carrément un salarié d’Havas.
Signe de la panique : à la veille de Noël, le directeur financier de Business France doit utiliser sa carte bancaire personnelle pour bloquer la réservation de l’hôtel The Linq à hauteur de 64 000 dollars. « Je risque l’interdit bancaire et je ne vais pas casser mon assurance-vie pour financer la French Tech hors process, y a des limites », s’énerve-t-il. Avant que Muriel Pénicaud permette son remboursement en faisant passer la facture en note de frais.
Havas accusé de « recel de favoritisme »
Au cours de l’enquête, le juge s’est aussi penché sur d’éventuelles collusions entre les dirigeants de Business France et l’agence de communication Havas. Le directeur d’Havas Paris Fabrice Conrad affirme qu’il était persuadé que la soirée de Las Vegas s’intégrait à un « contrat-cadre » que son agence avait remporté quelques mois plus tôt pour une campagne de promotion de Business France. Et qu’il n’y avait donc pas besoin d’une nouvelle mise en concurrence. « Je suis en charge de l’opérationnel. Je ne suis pas un juriste », se défend-il.
Un argument « difficilement audible » pour le responsable du contrôle interne de Business France qui estime qu’« Havas Paris savait qu’il s’agissait de deux opérations de communication distinctes, y compris sous l’angle budgétaire ». Le 15 décembre, à trois semaines de la soirée, Fabrice Conrad s’inquiète d’ailleurs par mail de l’absence d’un « go budgétaire » de Business France. Autant d’éléments qui ont conduit le juge à mettre en examen Havas Paris, puis Fabrice Conrad en avril 2024, pour « recel de favoritisme ».
Le haut management d’Havas avait été convié aux agapes de Las Vegas. Le 1er janvier 2016, un responsable de l’agence de com' informe une conseillère du ministre que « M. Yannick Bolloré [le PDG d’Havas] a eu M. Macron au téléphone qui l’aurait invité au dîner prévu mercredi à Las Vegas ». Dans un autre message, Fabrice Conrad indique à Stéphane Fouks, le vice-président d’Havas, que « Muriel serait ravie de t’y voir ». En 2014, quelques semaines avant sa prise de poste chez Business France, Muriel Pénicaud avait déjà déjeuné avec Stéphane Fouks pour avoir ses conseils.
La candidature du neveu
Plus gênant, en août 2016, la patronne de Business France poussera la candidature de son neveu pour un contrat d’apprentissage chez Havas. Une demande que Fabrice Conrad relaie au responsable des recrutements avec ce commentaire : « C’est un GROS client et donc une candidature à BIEN traiter. » Après un premier échec de son neveu, Muriel Pénicaud insiste. Le directeur d’Havas Paris lui promet alors « de le faire entrer en contact avec d’autres structures du groupe ». Le neveu décrochera finalement un contrat de onze moins au sein de la holding du groupe Bolloré, relève le juge.
Dernier détail piquant : ce n’est que dans l’avion du retour qu’Emmanuel Macron semble se soucier du coût des festivités. « Le ministre souhaiterait (moi aussi) savoir combien coûte la soirée », écrit Muriel Pénicaud à sa directrice de la communication le 8 janvier. Une demande que Fabienne Bothy-Chesneau juge « étrange » : « Je pense qu’à ce moment-là elle réalise le problème et se couvre ». Un peu tard peut-être.

This image tells the story of redemption for one lonely star. The young star MP Mus (PDS 66) was thought to be all alone in the Universe, surrounded by nothing but a featureless band of gas and dust called a protoplanetary disc. In most cases, the material inside a protoplanetary disc condenses to form new planets around the star, leaving large gaps where the gas and dust used to be. These features are seen in almost every disc – but not in MP Mus’s.
When astronomers first observed it with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), they saw a smooth, planet-free disc, shown here in the right image. The team, led by Álvaro Ribas, an astronomer at the University of Cambridge, UK, gave this star another chance and re-observed it with ALMA at longer wavelengths that peer even deeper into the protoplanetary disc than before. These new observations, shown in the left image, revealed a gap and a ring that had been obscured in previous observations, suggesting that MP Mus might have company after all.
Meanwhile, another piece of the puzzle was being revealed in Germany as Miguel Vioque, an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory, studied this same star with the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Gaia mission. Vioque noticed something suspicious – the star was wobbling. A bit of gravitational detective work, together with insights from the new disc structures revealed by ALMA, showed that this motion could be explained by the presence of a gas giant exoplanet.
Both teams presented their joint results in a new paper published in Nature Astronomy. In what they describe as “ a beautiful merging of two groups approaching the same object from different angles ”, they show that MP Mus isn’t so boring after all.
[Image description: This is an observation from the ALMA telescope, showing two versions (side-by-side) of a protoplanetary disc. Both discs are bright, glowing yellow-orange objects with a diffused halo against a dark background. The right disc is more smooth and blurry looking. The left disc shows more detail, for example gaps and rings within it.]

With West Bank annexation in the air, settlers revel in their impunity
Israeli settlers have rampaged through Palestinian towns and rioted at a military base in recent weeks, knowing government officials have their backs.
972mag.com/settler-impunity-we…
Over the span of two days, one of the last remaining Palestinian communities between Ramallah and Jericho was uprooted from its land.
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.
Fearing further theft, residents began evacuating their livestock. By Friday, families were packing their belongings and leaving en masse. Thirty families — 177 people in total — were forced out, all but erasing the community.
“Residents were forced to leave at gunpoint,” said 28-year-old Aaliyah Malihat, a local activist, as her family gathered their possessions. “People have nowhere to go. They’re scattering to nearby villages.”

Elle affirme que la vérité sur Epstein révélerait également où sont allés les billions manquants et qui est réellement à l'origine de l'agenda vaccinal.
Mme #Fitts estime que les mêmes personnes qui ont pillé le système font aujourd'hui la promotion d'injections expérimentales, et que la révélation de ce lien pourrait déstabiliser l'ensemble du système.

updated: These extensions weren't malware-laced from the start, researcher saysJessica Lyons (The Register)
@brucelawson, there are a lot of crappy extension in the Chrome Store. It's always recommended to look for the origin of it. If there isn't a link to an homepage or author (best FOSS), or made by Google itself, then it's to take with much precaution or search an alternative (read ALWAYS TOS and PP).
It's good that in Vivaldi most extensions in the Store are anyway redundant, only needed extensions for very few, occasional tasks.
The mencioned one certainly isn't mandatory, it can be done with most graphic apps, eg.with Minipaint right in Vivaldi and even in the WebPanel, and values can be copied as note or in the OS clipboard.
