It's shameful how #Synology decided to take HP's path (and among other printers companies).

Somehow, their "proprietary hard drives" are "more trustworthy", or that is more "secure" or whatever...

In the excellent article, @kevinpurdy also wrote that "Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate (...)"

arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0…

I think that would be an interesting topic for @pluralistic


Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices

German press release suggests expansion of the company’s “integrated ecosystem.”…

American Hostages In Gaza Disguise Themselves As MS-13 Gang Members So Democrats Will Fight To Bring Them Home

Rus yazar Anton Çehov'a başarısız toplumların doğası sorulduğunda şu cevabı vermiştir:

"Başarısız toplumlarda, her aklı başında zihne karşılık bin aptal ve her düşünüre karşılık bin aptalca söz vardır. Çoğunluk her zaman cahil kalır ve sürekli olarak bilgelerden daha fazladır. Dolayısıyla, bir toplumdaki tartışmalara önemsiz konuların hakim olduğunu ve sığ ve yüzeysel olanın merkez sahneye çıktığını görüyorsanız, o zaman derinden başarısız olmuş bir topluma tanık oluyorsunuz demektir."

Mesela anlamsız şarkılar, sözler milyonları dans ettiriyor, şarkıya eşlik ediyor ve şarkıcı ünlü, tanınan, hatta sevilen biri oluyor. İnsanlar toplumsal meseleler ve hayatın kendisi hakkındaki görüşlerini ciddiye almaya başlıyorlar.

Öte yandan yazarlar ve yazarlar - onları kimse tanımıyor, kimse onlara değer veya ağırlık vermiyor. Çoğu insan sıradanlığı ve duygusuzluğu tercih eder. Aklımızı uyuşturan veya saçmalıklarla güldüren biri, bizi gerçeklerle uyandıran ve gerçeklerle acıtan birinden iyidir. Cahil toplumlarda demokrasinin işe yaramamasının sebebi budur; çünkü kaderinize karar verecek olanlar cahil çoğunluk olacaktır.."

"During the whole of his life, Christ was unceasingly in possession of the Beatific Vision, up to the time of his agony in the Garden of Olives. Then, by an act of his free will, this delight was withdrawn from him. What human suffering, even if provoked by the most burning desire, could be compared with the torment that the Man-God must have experienced?"

"...maybe none of that matters anyway because unless someone stops him, there will be no law in this country except Trump’s word, and no America to save, except what Trump wills America to be. And if that comes to pass, will Americans finally realize that as a society we have sown the seeds of our own destruction? How did we get here in the first place? Well, to answer that question you have to go right back to where we started; the imperial presidency’s absolute authority to “defend” America from foreign adversaries, and the fascist apparatus installed to “keep us safe” during the War on Terror. After all this time, the twin chickens of our modern American exceptionalism, imperialism and anti-terrorism, have come home to roost in the form of our very own fascist dictatorship in progress."

L'Europe en plein Moby Dick

L'effondrement de l' #Europe s'accélère. Elle se sclérose de plus en plus vite sur les plans culturel, intellectuel et moral, tout en criant "valeurs" du haut de l'asile d'aliénés bruxellois.

À ce stade, l'obsession européenne pour la guerre contre la Russie ressemble à s’y méprendre à la folie fatale du capitaine Achab — cet homme qui perdit tout, esclave de sa passion de tuer la grande baleine blanche. Pourtant, il devrait être clair aujourd’hui que le Moby Dick russe n'est pas une proie que les Européens parviendront à capturer (ils ont essayé trois fois au cours des deux derniers siècles). Au contraire, les armes mêmes que déploie contre Moscou l’Europe ne font que hâter sa déchéance.

C'est le résumé d'une discussion que j'ai récemment eue avec mes deux collègues, l'ancien diplomate britannique Ian Proud et le chercheur Jan Oberg, sur la chaîne YouTube Neutrality Studies.

Le suicidaire pacte militariste

Au cœur de notre discussion se trouvait la marche agressive de l'Europe vers la militarisation. Le Dr. #Oberg a dénoncé l'absurdité de lier les dépenses militaires au PIB, suggérant qu’ainsi même le déclin économique vient justifier la #guerre. Le fonds de défense de 800 milliards d'euros prévu par l'UE, financé par un emprunt collectif, est une bombe fiscale à retardement qui pèsera sur les générations futures tout en alimentant une guerre que l'Europe a déjà perdue. Oberg qualifie cela de « théâtre de l’absurde », notant que même dans des pays comme la Suède et le Danemark, autrefois considérés comme des bastions de paix, le militarisme est devenu une orthodoxie généralisée.

Pour Ian #Proud, les dirigeants européens souffrent d'une paralysie intellectuelle incurable. Alors que Donald Trump envisage des accords de paix, les élites de l'UE s'accrochent à une position figée sur l'Ukraine, inchangée depuis 2014. Le refus collectif d'admettre l'échec, alors même que l'Ukraine perd du terrain et que le soutien du public à la guerre s'essouffle, est extrêmement dangereux. Ce n'est pas une stratégie, mais un déni de réalité.

Building Confidence: How Taekwondo Classes Develop Singapore's Children

Singapore parents face the ongoing challenge of finding activities that enhance their children's development while complementing academic demands. Taekwondo for kids Singapore programs have emerged as outstanding solutions that develop physical capabilities, mental focus, and character attributes simultaneously. Facilities like Linear Green at Bedok and Yishun Sunshine provide structured environments where children thrive through comprehensive martial arts training.

Transformative Benefits of Children's Taekwondo Training


The traditional Korean martial art of Taekwondo offers developmental advantages that address multiple facets of children's growth. Unlike single-dimensional sports or purely academic activities, Taekwondo classes integrate physical, mental, and social development within each training session.

1. Physical Mastery Through Integrated Movement


Modern Singapore lifestyles often limit children's physical exploration, with digital entertainment replacing active play. Quality Taekwondo for kids Singapore programs counter this trend through dynamic training that develops comprehensive physical literacy. The distinctive kicking techniques, defensive movements, and structured forms require exceptional coordination, balance, and proprioception, creating fundamental movement competencies that benefit children across all physical activities.

Training sessions at premier locations like Linear Green at Bedok incorporate varied intensities and movement patterns that develop both explosive power and precise control. This dynamic approach keeps children engaged while providing more comprehensive physical benefits than specialized sports activities that develop limited movement patterns.

Building Confidence: How Taekwondo Classes Develop Singapore's Children

Parents regularly observe significant improvements in their children's movement capabilities after beginning regular training at Taekwondo classes. Enhanced posture, improved coordination, and increased physical confidence become apparent through consistent practice, demonstrating the effectiveness of this martial arts class approach to physical development.

2. Mental Discipline for Academic Success


Taekwondo's most profound contribution to children's development may be its systematic cultivation of mental focus and self-regulation. In today's environment of constant digital distraction, Taekwondo provides structured practice in sustained concentration. Children learn to control their bodies through precise techniques that require complete mental presence, developing attentional control that transfers directly to academic performance.

The structured format of professional martial arts class environments teaches children to follow multi-step instructions, maintain focus during technical explanations, and persist through challenging learning processes. These metacognitive skills prove invaluable throughout academic pursuits and personal development.

3. Developing a Bully Proof Mindset


Children cultivate genuine confidence through Taekwondo's belt progression system, which provides tangible evidence of their advancement and acquired skills. Unlike participation awards that recognize mere attendance, advancing through belt ranks requires demonstrating actual technical proficiency and knowledge. This creates authentic self-assurance rooted in real achievement.

The combination of physical capability and mental confidence makes children naturally bully proof. They develop physical self-defense skills as a last resort, but more importantly, they project confidence that typically prevents bullying situations from occurring. Children learn to carry themselves with quiet assurance that communicates strength without aggression.

4. Practical Self Defence for Personal Safety


While developing confidence, children simultaneously learn practical self defence skills through structured Taekwondo training. Students at quality programs like Yishun Sunshine learn age-appropriate techniques for creating distance, setting boundaries, and protecting themselves when necessary. Instructors emphasize that physical self defence represents the last resort, teaching children to use awareness, communication, and conflict avoidance as primary safety strategies.

Selecting the Right Taekwondo Program


With numerous Taekwondo classes available throughout Singapore, parents should carefully evaluate their options. Look for certified instructors with specific experience teaching children, observe classes to assess teaching methods and environments, and consider practical factors like location convenience and scheduling flexibility.

Both Linear Green at Bedok and Yishun Sunshine offer exceptional Taekwondo for kids Singapore programs with qualified instructors who understand child development principles. These locations provide trial classes that allow children to experience Taekwondo before making longer commitments, allowing families to find their perfect martial arts class environment.

By enrolling in quality Taekwondo training, parents provide children with more than just physical activity—they offer a structured pathway toward comprehensive development that creates resilient, confident, and capable young people prepared for life's challenges.

I fear I am getting into the flavor extract game. I made this "kue lapis" (layered mochi) with alternating flavors of saffron, pandan (powdered form) and kaffir lime. I have the texture down with just enough tapioca flour to stiffen the glutinous rice.

My flavors could not punch though (though I used what, in other contexts, would too much). It feels like they need to be 3X-6X more, I think I can only get there with concentrate/extracts.

I do want to try making a layer with a strawberry reduction, but if this really worked, I would have guessed someone would have made it by now.

@mittimithaiSomeday we can have a kue lapis/TERFfle exchange!

I found an excellent freeze-dried raspberry powder that was like 10x more flavorful than the cheaper one I tried. So now I'm an advocate of freeze-dried fruit powders, as long as they're high quality. If you want to try making raspberry mochi, I highly recommend Koyah powder. They don't make a strawberry powder but high quality ones do exist.

Saffron is an extremely subtle flavor; I imagine it struggles to keep up with the others. But what do I know? I've never used pandan and don't even know what it tastes like.

Four Construction Vehicles Burned at Data Center in Georgia Posted on 2025/04/07 by dirtysouth Anonymous Submission: At the end of March, some entered the construction site of the data center hypercampus east of Atlanta, Georgia and burned 4 construction vehicles. This was done to oppose data centers that quickly exhaust the limited water supply of the region. This is another example of the country’s tendencies to externalize the costs of their relentless wealth hoarding to southeastern United States. They have chosen the south as an area of ​​sacifice, that is, a place to deposit the most unpleasant industries and their waste. For them, our home is barely available within such parameters, as it can still be used as a landfill. Thus, the people who acted insist that those who try to steal our water, air and land must at least endure loss and embarrassment on their way to hell. This specific data center has aimed at facilitating AI connection for local companies. AI not only use more water than other computer processes, but is quickly becoming a way for the state to increase its intrusion in our personal life. And more and more are used by police and state forces to monitor those who oppose them. The people who burned these machines do not believe that our thoughts and movements should be used for profit or incarceration.

Games I'm most looking forward to - 2023


 There are more, but these are the ones I'm anticipating most

In order of release date:

Company of Heroes 3


Release date: 23 February

Loved Company of Heroes, but only really played it in skirmish mode. Slick, action-tactics game with fantastic, bombastic visuals. The addition of a dynamic strategic campaign mode set in Italy sounds like it could really improve this one.

Kerbal Space Program 2


Release date: 24 February

The definitive, genre-defining space and orbital mechanics game finally gets a sequel. What's not to love about a game that literally resulted in people taking up careers with NASA? And the modding scene is top level - certainly comparable with the Skyrim scene. Early access release, maybe I'll pick it up at release, but if I'm not in the mood for playing it at that time, might just wait. OK who am I trying to kid, of course I'm going to get it on release! Just won't be able to resist it - easily in my top three most anticipated games of the year.

System Shock


Release date: March

Loved (but didn't get very far in) System Shock 2 in my younger years - really looking forward to seeing if this one can reinvent the game for modern times.

Sherlock Holmes The Awakened


Release date: Q1?

Ukrainian devs, backed the Kickstarter to support them - had never played any of their games before but really enjoyed Chapter One when I played it last year. Seemed to be doing something that I've not found in other games - really made you feel more like a detective piecing together clues than anything else I've played.

Total Conflict: Resistance


Release date: Q1?

Sort of a modern era Mount and Blade. Strategy layer managing your faction ina civil war, with first person / RTS battles - switch modes on the fly, order units around, then conttrol them to get into the action. Looks like fun already in the videos I've seen.

Starfield


Release date: H1?

This is the big one. Probably the only AAA big budget thing I'm anticipating this year - AAA is just not really my scene these days. Been a long time since a Bethesda game I wanted to play - not a huge fan of Fallout. But Skyrim in space sounds like it could be fantastic (if for nothing else than as a modding platform! Still playing Skyrim now, more than a decade later, because of how strong the modding scene is). I've avoided reading too much about this one, to minimise spoilers, so not really got much idea what it's about or what you're doing in it, but just looking forward to sinking some time into a (hopefully) interesting world. Absolutely one of the top three I'm looking forward to for the year.

Homeworld 3


Release date: H1?

Loved the idea of the original Homeworld, but didn't get fully into it at the time. However the sequel does look like it's doing some really interesting stuff with fully-3D space environments and looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Baldur's Gate 3


Release date: August

Not sure how this one will turn out - really enjoyed Divinity Original Sin by the same devs, but did find myself enjoying the sequel. So somewhat cautiously optimistic on this one I suppose - what I've seen looks fantastic.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl


Release date: December

First full Stalker sequel. Delayed for a year after the devs had to deal with the war (heard one of them sadly died recently while defending his country - RIP Volodymyr Yezhov, your sacrifice will not be forgotten). Already pre-ordered to support them, looking forward to getting into it - whenever it comes out.

Dredge


Release date: 2023

Enjoyed the demo - a relaxing fishing game in a mysterious horror setting. Sometimes you just want to play something relaxing and slower-paced with an interesting atmosphere.

Men of War 2


Release date: 2023

Not sure when this is due, but loved the original Men of War games. Where Company of Heroes went the more slick, cinematic, tactics direction, Men of War felt more personal - you could take direct control of a unit, in a sort of isometric third person shooter style - even taking over vehicles and driving tanks. So a sequel with improved graphics, AI and a cinematic story sounds like it could be exciting.

Falling Frontier


Release date: 2023

Hard sci-fi space strategy - a focus on concepts such as reconnaissance (ships are only visible if you have radar line of sight) and logistics (resources are physically represented - if your ships need resupply you have to actually get the supplies to them). Fascinating stuff, and visually stunning.

Mars Tactics


Release date: 2023

Turn-based tactical battles with a strategic layer, set on Mars during a worker uprising - take the side of the workers, or capital. Interesting combat mechanics, a strategic layer that affects the battles (and vice versa) - nearby units will reinforce battles, artillery and air support can be called in. Getting some UFO: Enemy Unknown vibes from this one (in terms of how it looks / plays, no alien invasion that I'm aware of) - very excited for it.

Fragile Existence


Release date: 2023

Not sure if this one will definitely arrive in 2023, but it sounds excellent so worth a mention. Galaxy-scale RTS, the dev describes you as playing an Admiral Adama kind of character - on the run from a mysterious destructive force you flee across the galaxy, landing forces on (spherically modelled) planets to gather resources to aid you in your flight. The space-land transition looks seamless. Really interesting ideas, but may have a lot of development time left.

Miasma Chronicles


Release date: 2023

Turn-based tactics from the devs of Mutant Year Zero - that was easily one of the better tactics games of the current renaissance, so their next project seems worth watching. Looks like this is shaping up to offer something similar - real-time partial-open-world exploration, a strong focus on narrative, and sharp turn-based tactical battles with excellent stealth mechanics.

Manor Lords


Release date: 2023

Not entirely sure whether to place this one on my list - I love how it looks, what it's trying to do, the visual style. But I often struggle to really get into colony builder games these days. Hopefully this will be the one that breaks that trend for me. Medievel, with a heavy focus on authenticity (rather than outright realism), plenty of interesting features, and wars are supposed to be brutal (your peasants who would otherwise be tilling fields or producing resources actually fight, so wars can be really damaging to your settlement and best avoided). Very exciting stuff, just might not be one I actually play much.

Shadows of Doubt


Release date: 2023

Shaping up to be one of the most interesting games to pay attention to. Play a detective in a procedurally generated city, solve crimes by figuring out and piecing together clues you find by doing detective work - rummaging around apartments, looking on computers, gathering evidence, actually figuring out the links that tie together your investigations. The art style drips with atmosphere. Can't wait to try the demo in a few days. This is the other one of the top three.

Terra Nil


Release date: 2023

An unusual combination of colony builder and sort of puzzle game. Place terraforming equipment to bring life to the land in order to grow your colony. And just looks lovely.

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2


Release date: 2023

I'm a sucker for 40K games, and this one looks like it will really hit the spot - kind of lavishly destructive fighting hordes of aliens. Just love the theme and try to play almost everything, but rarely do they look as visually stunning as this. Might not have much in the way of innovative mechanics, but beautiful visuals and carnage in a setting you love are sometimes all you need!

Xenonauts 2


Release date: 2023

Early access due this year - been a long time since the first game. Essentially, a spiritual successor to the original UFO: Enemy Unknown. Less visually stylish than the XCOM sequels, but more gritty and (at least if the first game and demo are anything to go by) much more tense; one wrong move can waste half your squad in a way that XCOM is just more forgiving over.

Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader


Release date: Unknown. Included on this list just in case it comes this year!

Sounds like this could be one to watch. Another 40K game - this one a party-based RPG, with turn-based tactical combat and decisions that affect the narrative. From the devs of Pathfinder. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Monomyth


Release date: Unknown. Included on this list just in case it comes this year!

Loved the early demo - atmospheric, dark first person RPG with really impressive environments and details. Not been following development too closely, but added it to this list to keep an eye on it.

Selaco


Release date: Unknown. Included on this list just in case it comes this year!

First person shooters are not really my thing these days. But something about this one... Really grabbed my attention - visually stylish, mechanically intense. For some reason it reminded me of the original Half-Life when I played the demo - different, but my feeling while playing it was kind of nostalgic, and that's rarely a bad sign.

• Court Rules Google Illegally Holds "Monopoly Power" In Online Ad Tech

A U.S. federal court ruled that Google had illegally monopolized key digital advertising markets, including publisher ad servers, ad exchanges, and advertiser ad networks. This ruling could deal a major blow to Google's core business pillar: advertising revenue (advertising accounted for about 77.4% of Google's total revenue in 2023).

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema found on Thursday morning that Google had violated antitrust law by "willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power in the open-web display publisher ad server market and the open-web display ad exchange market."

In this episode, we're bringing a few artifacts from the collection of The Gettysburg Museum of History to the site of a lesser known tragedy that occurred in the center of the city during the Battle of the Bulge.

Bei uns in der Strasse kennen alle Katzenbesitzer sämtliche Katzen und können sie zuordnen. Jeder achtet auch auf die anderen und wenn etwas ist, klingelt entweder das Telefon oder es gibt eine Nachricht über andere Wege. Die letzten 10 Jahre kam uns jeden Abend ein älterer Kater besuchen, wartete brav vor der Haustür, bis ihn jemand bemerkte und etwas Trockenfutter gab. Filou, so sein Name, war ein Streuner, der 3 Häuser weiter die Strasse runter ein Heim für seine letzten Jahre gefunden hatte.
Er betrat nie das Haus, bekam aber einen wettergeschützten Platz im Schuppen, wurde gefüttert und ärztlich versorgt.

Letzten Herbst ist er sehr abgemagert, war zum Schluss nur noch Haut und Knochen, kam aber immer noch rum für eine Handvoll Futter und Streicheleinheiten. Unsere beiden hatten kein Problem mit ihm, er gehörte irgendwie dazu.

Vor einigen Tagen stand dann sein Dosenöffner vor der Tür und überbrachte die Nachricht, dass er gestorben sei und fragte, ob wir Trockenfutter, Streu und sowas nehmen würden für unsere, ihm käme jetzt aus Altersgründen kein Tier mehr ins Haus.
Wir haben das angenommen, aussortiert, was unsere essen dürfen und den Rest, überwiegend teures Spezialfutter für Nierenprobleme und Diabetes, den haben wir in einen Karton gepackt, noch etwas aufgestockt und ein Dutzend Näpfe nebst etwas Spielzeug eingepackt.

Nach einem kurzen Mailkontakt mit dem Tierheim in Kossau habe ich gerade 2 große Kartons voll Katzenzeugs dort abgegeben.
Tierheime haben das momentan nicht leicht, vor allem die Privaten haben eigentlich immer Geldprobleme, ich hoffe, es hilft ein wenig.
