Same thing here on venera.social, some pages work smoothly enough, some timeout. “Latest posts” feed usually opens OK, but “Latest activity” has troubles, and it's close to impossible to see profile of someone who posts often.

Knowing nothing about inner working of the system, I'd make a long shot for database indexing problems — at least this is what I usually encounter, when similar queries over same dataset complete in wildly different time, depending on conditions specified.

Update: for about two days I'm unable to see my network feed. Every time it's “gateway timeout”. Before it was hit-and-miss, now — 100% failure rate.

Everything else works, quite decently: local and global community feed, contacts, settings, single contacts (some, at least, haven't checked all), threads and single posts (reached from notifications).

Is it something endemic to a few profiles, mine included? By look of local community feed, others don't seem to have problems…

Western nations are experiencing a spiritual awakening as church pews fill up and baptismal fonts overflow. From France to Belgium, from the United Kingdom to the United States, a dramatic surge in Christian faith is sweeping across the West—a revival many are calling a “silent revolution” against the failures of globalism, mass migration, and leftist cultural engineering.

Europe Sees Surge in Church Attendance and Baptisms as Globalist Leaders Continue to Fail the People (VIDEO)

I am surprised, constantly, at how many people want more violence in this world.

If every European war is a civil war, as has been argued, then at some point people need to stop blowing eachother up, because we've all got to live with eachother afterwards.

There needs to be peace.

In Syria, Sudan, India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, all the violence needs to end.

Don't listen to people who want to see it continue, who want our European cousins humiliated and destroyed. We need to bring them together.

Halsey brought up that men don’t want to work in factories or be truck drivers etc. and I think the biggest reason is simply no pussy no work.

Why would any guy want to work in a factory or be a truck driver for $70k and not get any pussy out it?

And yes there is inflation and the cost of living but I think the biggest reason is no pussy, no house, and no family.

Once again the solution is to take women’s rights away.

So, what we call "packages" are debs, for Debian and Ubuntu based distros, and RPMs for Red Hat and SUSE based distros. These packages can contain libraries, or apps, and all libraries are shared between applications.

We then have Flatpaks, which are distro-agnostic. Flatpaks are sandboxed, and while they share a lot of libraries through runtimes, they can use more space over time.

Snaps are basically the same concept as flatpaks, made by Ubuntu. There are a few technical differences with flatpaks, the big one being that Snaps are suitable for graphical apps, and for command line programs.

AppImages are a more portable format: the whole app is shipped inside a single file, with most, if not all of its libraries. This means you can copy/paste apps from a system to another, and they run on any distro that has access to FUSE2.

Now, let's look at some performance comparison between different packaging formats.
I ran all these tests on the same Ubuntu 23.04 VM, with 16 gigs of RAM, 4 cores of my 13th gen i7 13700h.

Judging from the results, we can see that all packaging formats take longer to start than basic deb packages. It's especially visible with heavy apps that need to do some setup when they first open, like LibreOffice or GIMP. But we also notice that on subsequent openings of an app, all packaging formats are pretty close.

I ran the Speedometer test in all 4 versions of Firefox: the snap performs worse for jetstream, but much better for Speedometer, while flatpak performs on par for SPeedometer, but worse for jetstream. Deb packages perform well for jetstream, but worse for speedometer., and the Appimage is generally just a good performer.

A sandboxed application runs in its own environment, with very few ways to access things outside of that sandbox. This is similar to how web browsers run each tab in a separate process.

Regular packages aren't sandboxed by default: basically it means that you should only install these packages from sources you trust: either your distro's repos, or well vetted third party repos.

As per Flatpaks, they're all sandboxed. The sandbox isn't 100% bulletproof, nothing is, but it does limit what the app can access. This is all managed through app permissions, much like what you'd find in Android or iOS apps.

Snaps can be sandboxed, but the sandbox isn't mandatory: developers can decide to not use it, although this triggers a manual review of the snap app when it's uploaded to the Snap Store, to check if it does anything weird. As per AppImages, they don't have a sandbox natively.

Now let's see what's missing in terms of features. Regular packages can access everything, so there are no missing features there.

Flatpaks and snaps have more restrictions. The main missing piece is native messaging support: this is what lets an app communicate with another, and one main use case is for password managers: currently, no web browser packaged as flatpak or snap can interact with a third party password manager reliably.

Support for the system theme is also not perfect for snaps and flatpaks, or for AppImages.

As per various problems with these packaging formats, you also have the size of packages: while Snaps and Flatpaks do share libraries between apps, they don't share as much as regular packages, which means they can take up more space.

Snaps also have the added problem that they mount each app in its own virtual filesystem, that is decompressed on the fly: this can clutter your mount points, which can be annoying if you need to manage these regularly. The Snap Store backend is also proprietary, and it's centralized.

Hubble celebrates 35 years

In celebration of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s 35 years in Earth orbit, an assortment of images that were recently taken by Hubble has been released today. This stretches from the planet Mars to images of stellar birth and death, and a magnificent neighbouring galaxy. After over three decades of scrutinising our Universe, Hubble remains a household word as the most well-recognised telescope in scientific history.

Das geht mir sowas auf den Senkel.

Egal ob jemand noch Schüler-/Hochschulpraktikant (Realschule 9./10. Klasse) ist oder sonst nix weiter an Ausbildung hat: Wer bei uns in der Firma arbeitet, kriegt mindestens 15 EUR/h. Und ich hab da für jeden nen Job gefunden, wo er dieses Geld wert war. Und wer das als "Arbeitgeber" nicht hinkriegt damit zu wirtschaften, der sollte es halt bleiben lassen.

Wir könnten auch mal anfangen, uns über Gehälter und Extrazuckerl der Chefetagen zu unterhalten und inwieweit die gerechtfertigt sind.

A new space age for forests – but groundwork still matters

Measuring the diameter of a tree in forest close to Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso, Brazil

A new era of forest monitoring is quite literally taking off, ushering in what scientists are calling the ‘forest space age’. On April 29, ESA will launch its revolutionary Biomass mission, the first satellite to carry a P-band radar into space – technology that is set to transform how we understand forests and the carbon they store. Along with other space agencies’ instruments already in orbit or soon to be launched, there has never been so many ‘eyes in the sky’ focused on forests.

Yet, the work of people on the ground –often in the most remote and challenging forest regions – also remains essential.

The link between vaccines & autism can no longer be avoided

Research suggests that the rise in autism cases may be linked to vaccines, with a new CDC report showing a 16% rise in autism cases in two years, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. investigating the potential connection.

As Jeffrey Tucker writes, the vaccine industry’s power and influence have allowed it to avoid scrutiny, but with growing public scepticism and investigations underway, the topic of ...

Ils nous disent pourquoi ils veulent un référendum sur l'UE


Dans le cadre de la campagne commune pour un référendum de clarification sur l’appartenance de la France au système de l’Union européenne, une série de courtes vidéos sont réalisées. Elles donnent la parole à des signataires de l’appel pour un nouveau référendum, 20 après le NON au TCE, effacé d’un trait de plume par le congrès qui a adopté le Traité de Lisbonne et a modifié notre constitution. Depuis lors la France est sous le joug de l’Union européenne dont les décisions, textes et traités prévalent et s’imposent aux peuples des pays membres de l’Union européenne

Aujourd’hui nous vous proposons deux vidéos :

WASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. on Wednesday added terrorism-related charges to its criminal case against an alleged high-ranking member of Tren de Aragua, the first time U.S. authorities have used those charges against the Venezuelan street gang.
Jose Enrique Martinez Flores was charged in a new indictment with conspiring to provide and providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, according to a court filing.

La France produit maintenant trop d'électricité.
(Y en a ras-l'cul)
Le surplus est donc exporté (5Mds d'exportations, y a bon !)

MAIS !....
Et c'est là que ça se corse.
Quand on n'arrive pas, pour X raisons, à anticiper les variations de demandes, et bien on ferme des parcs éoliens.
Ici, 13 en l'occurrence (il y a 13 parcs éoliens de trop ?!?)
Et il faut donc dédommager les producteurs de ces parcs, avec l'argent de Nicolas ☺️

le nucléaire civil n'existe pas
(en réalité les Chinois sont en train d'en créer un avec le Thorium, mais pour l'instant c'est très expérimental)
En France, le Nucléaire "Civil" a été créé par De Gaule pour obtenir du Plutonium (il n'y a pas de mine de Plutonium) pour lancer le programme de Dissuasion Nucléaire
(c'est la raison pour laquelle la France est passée au "tout électrique", elle produisait trop d'électricité, car il y avait trop de centrales par rapport aux besoins "civils" , mais juste ce qu'il fallait pour les militaires)

et non, la solution n'est pas la décroissance en soi, même si les économies façon Negawatt sont une possibilité non négligeable.
