Bad news:
-said wood has yet a other day of splitting and hauling
-lots of hospital crap
-winter previewed hard in autumn and forced us to grab and process what we could on a number of food crops
- to lower costs sold my dream vehicle with skinny puppy sticker I held 30 years for the right place to put it

But I have a home and if I wake up tomorrow I'll fight to make space to make music with my friends. Slower than I'd hoped but happening at all is an affirming fuck you to pain and exhaustion.

Incendiary Attack on 17 Cars at Tesla Dealership (Rome, Italy)


Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on 17 cars at the Tesla dealership (Rome, March 31, 2025)

Few people in the world, nowadays, embody absolute Evil like the infamous entrepreneur and billionaire technocrat Elon Musk. It would be reductive, however, to consider him a classic cartoon “villain”, a character that would fit him like a glove, without realizing that this despicable individual is only the product of an economic and social system that marches towards its own self-destruction and that his expansionist aims symbolically summarize those of the system itself.

Officially entering the field of politics, all this is exemplified in his servility towards Trump, who has placed him in the front row of the reactionary, imperialist, sexist and supremacist offensive underway in the United States. Specifically, as a reward for his billionaire support for the electoral campaign, the newly elected president has awarded his favorite Dark Maga the leadership of DOGE, an ad hoc body that has quickly busied itself on cuts and reforms aimed at directly or indirectly affecting that slice of the population that is recognized by the new elite as “surplus”.

As for the companies he manages or founded, however, there are many examples to give

Neuralink is a startup that aims to create a system of neural interfaces that connect the human brain with artificial intelligence; he claims to have implanted his first brain chip, called Telepathy, in January 2024. The transhumanist dream that becomes reality, the utopia of the suppression of the “defective” components of humanity through human-machine integration, the creation of those efficient gears that technocratic capitalism has and will always badly need.

OpenAI, a company founded by Musk as an artificial intelligence research laboratory, has produced the first famous chatbot in history: ChatGPT. After abandoning its leadership due to a potential conflict of interest with its role in the development of AI for self-driving Teslas in 2023, he founded a rival startup, xAI, which has the stated purpose of training a generative artificial intelligence chatbot (Grok) that automatically learns to respond racistly, against the woke culture of which ChatGPT would be an expression.
In turn, through xAI Musk has recently purchased the X platform himself, the former instant messaging service called Twitter, well exemplifying the use of social media as a tool for algorithmic manipulation of public opinion for the most vulgar political purposes, as well as revealing in a now indisputable way the use of social media as an inexhaustible source of data for the use and consumption of AI BigTechs.

Not forgetting SpaceX and its (apparently crazy) prospects of interplanetary colonialism, which lay the foundations for the continuation of the plunder that this system will need even once the stocks of the planet we live on are exhausted: a company that, at the moment, seems to be becoming richer and more powerful even than NASA. Its best-known product is the Starlink satellite system, which, in addition to filling low Earth orbit with technological garbage, aims to guarantee internet connection even in the absence of infrastructure on Earth. These artificial constellations, therefore, are becoming an essential tool for armies in theaters of war; Starlink is in fact thriving by providing its services to the Ukrainian and Israeli armies, making itself complicit in massacres and genocides of today and tomorrow.

Finally, we conclude with Tesla, the famous company of hyper-technological electric cars, the status symbol par excellence of the rich techno-fascists of all latitudes, the emblem of the ecological lie that aims to electrify the planet, destroying it definitively in the name of profit. Tesla itself, with its 8 continuous cameras mounted on each car and its interconnected devices for (future) automatic driving, combined with the work of Musk’s lesser-known companies, Hyperloop and The Boring Company (respectively, they deal with the development of a futuristic high-speed transport system and an underground tunnel project to reduce traffic) participates in the totalitarian urban control plan of Smart Cities, A dystopian project that, thanks to the development of digital infrastructure, aims to make urban life a constant flow of data.

Techno-fascism, transhumanism, artificial intelligence, the conquest of space, war, technological surveillance and the destruction of the planet: do we need more reasons to attack Elon Musk’s interests anywhere and at any time?

For these and many other reasons, on the night between 30 and 31 March, we decided to welcome spring too, on a cold night… heated by the fire of 17 cars in the only Tesla dealership in Rome. Because we claim to be those flaws that the project of characters like Musk would like to eradicate.

In a world of fiber optic cables and pylons, let’s plant the seed of rebellion, because the only thing that really makes sense, in the scenario that lies ahead of us, is to fight tooth and nail, until
at the last breath, for freedom.
Because the only Tesla we like is the one that burns…. And how it burns
well!

Solidarity with anarchist prisoners around the world, against every cage and against the infamous 41bis!
Anna, Alfredo, Stecco, Giulio, Ghespe, Tonio, Juan, Daivid: we are by your side!
Kyriakos lives in the fire of our actions!

ICE Can Now Enter Your Home Without a Warrant to Look for Migrants, DOJ Memo Says dailyboulder.com/ice-can-now-e…

Months after satellites spotted a massive fusion facility in Sichuan, China has made a huge leap in fission technology. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently revealed that they've successfully operated a thorium-powered nuclear reactor in the Gobi Desert, hitting a major milestone. They not only ran the reactor at full power last June but also reloaded it while it was still running — a world-first achievement!

This is big news for nuclear energy. Thorium is seen as a safer, more accessible fuel compared to uranium, which has military uses. Thorium reactors are much harder to weaponize, making them less risky for nuclear proliferation. In fact, thorium-based reactors are considered a poor source for building nuclear weapons, unlike uranium.

The reactor in the Gobi Desert is a small, two-megawatt research unit that uses molten salt as both fuel and coolant. These molten salt reactors (MSRs) are much safer than traditional water-based reactors. They work at lower pressures and can handle higher amounts of heat. And if something goes wrong, the molten fuel naturally cools down and stays contained, unlike water reactors, which can explode like Chernobyl.

This kind of reactor isn’t new — the US actually researched molten salt reactors in the late '40s and early '50s, with plans for nuclear-powered stealth bombers. But in 1961, Congress cut funding, and uranium became the go-to fuel. The US research was made public, and it laid the groundwork for the Chinese team's work in the Gobi Desert.

Xu Hongjie, the lead scientist on the project, pointed out that the US left their research open for future exploration. "Rabbits sometimes make mistakes or grow lazy. That’s when the tortoise seizes its chance," he said, highlighting how China took advantage of this opportunity. This could totally change the nuclear energy game, providing a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable energy source with less risk of nuclear weapons production.

If you're mad about the federal government deporting gang members but not mad about the state charging parents with kidnapping for refusing to vaccinate their children, you might be a hypocritical medical fascist. freedommemes.com/2025/04/15/ma…

How Should a Stone Crushing Plant Be Installed?


Setting up a stone crushing plant is a complex process that requires careful planning, precise execution, and an understanding of both the equipment and the operational requirements. Whether you're working with a stationary or mobile stone crusher, the installation must be done in a way that ensures optimal production efficiency and longevity of the equipment. In this article, we will discuss the steps involved in installing a stone crushing plant, the factors to consider during installation, and how to ensure that everything runs smoothly for the long term.

Site Selection and Preparation


Before installing any equipment, the first step is to choose an appropriate site for your stone crusher plant(plantas trituradoras de piedra). This site should be close to the source of raw materials, such as a quarry or mining site, to minimize transportation costs. The location should also have easy access to roads and utilities, including water and electricity, to support the plant’s operations. It’s important to conduct a thorough site survey, considering factors such as terrain, soil quality, and local regulations related to construction and environmental impact.

Environmental Considerations


Environmental impact is a crucial aspect of setting up a stone crusher plant, especially in the mining and aggregate industries. You must ensure that the plant's installation complies with local environmental laws and regulations. This may involve conducting environmental impact assessments, implementing dust control systems, and establishing measures to prevent noise and water pollution. Installing proper drainage systems to manage rainwater and waste materials is also essential to maintain a sustainable operation.

Planning for Space and Infrastructure


The layout of the stone crushing plant should be planned to optimize workflow. Sufficient space should be allocated for raw material storage, crushing units, and the stockpiling of processed aggregates. It is also necessary to ensure that there is space for maintenance, equipment storage, and future expansion. The site should be equipped with the necessary infrastructure, such as power supply, water access, and waste management systems, to support the plant’s daily operations.

Installation of Equipment


Once the site has been prepared, the next step is to install the stone crusher plant. Whether you're installing a stationary aggregate crusher plant or a mobile stone crusher(vendo trituradora de piedra móvil), each piece of equipment must be carefully positioned and secured. Proper installation is essential to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the plant, as improper setup can lead to operational issues, increased wear and tear, and safety risks.

Setting Up Crushers and Feeders


The heart of any stone crushing plant is the crusher itself. Depending on the type of plant, you may be using jaw crushers, cone crushers, or impact crushers. The installation of crushers should follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure proper functioning. Additionally, feeders are required to regulate the flow of raw materials into the crusher. These should be installed in a way that ensures a consistent supply of material without overloading the system.

Conveyor Belt Systems and Screening Units


After the raw materials are fed into the crusher, they are typically transported via conveyor belts to the next stages of the crushing process. Conveyor belt systems should be installed at appropriate angles and distances to ensure that materials are moved efficiently from one stage to another. Screening units are also crucial for separating different sizes of aggregates(planta trituradora de agregados). These should be installed with proper calibration to achieve the desired final product size and quality.

Electrical and Control Systems


Proper electrical wiring and control systems are critical for the safe and efficient operation of the stone crushing plant. These systems should be installed by qualified professionals and should comply with all local safety regulations. A control room should be set up to monitor the entire operation, including the crushers, feeders, conveyors, and screening units. Automation can be incorporated to optimize performance, such as adjusting feed rates and controlling crusher settings remotely to maintain optimal conditions.

Safety Measures During Installation


Safety is paramount during the installation process. All workers should be provided with proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including helmets, gloves, and safety shoes. Equipment should be installed in a way that minimizes the risk of accidents, with safety barriers around moving parts and emergency shutdown systems in place. Additionally, clear signage should be used to indicate hazard zones, and safety drills should be conducted to ensure that all personnel are prepared for emergencies.

Testing and Commissioning


After installation, the stone crusher plant should go through a thorough testing and commissioning process. This involves running the plant in dry conditions before introducing any raw materials. The aim is to check the functionality of all systems, including crushers, feeders, conveyors, and electrical systems, to ensure everything is working as expected. During testing, adjustments may be needed to optimize the plant's performance. Once the testing phase is complete, the plant can be officially commissioned and start full-scale operations.

Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring


Installation is not the end of the process—ongoing maintenance is key to ensuring the long-term success of the plant. Routine checks should be performed on crushers, conveyor systems, and electrical components. Preventive maintenance practices should be in place to identify and address potential issues before they cause significant downtime. Monitoring systems can also be used to track the plant’s performance and alert operators to any problems that require attention.

Conclusion


Installing a stone crushing plant requires careful planning, technical expertise, and attention to detail. Whether you're setting up a stationary aggregate crusher plant or a mobile stone crusher, the installation process must ensure the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operation. By selecting the right site, installing equipment properly, and focusing on ongoing maintenance and testing, you can ensure that your stone crushing plant runs smoothly and efficiently for years to come. With the right setup, the plant will provide the high-quality aggregates needed for construction projects and contribute to the success of the mining and aggregate industries.

Custom-Configured Granite Crushers: Does Tailoring Increase Costs?


Manufacturers today are pushing the boundaries of what granite crushers can achieve, thanks to custom-configured designs that promise better efficiency, improved durability, and precise output gradation. Yet with such personalization comes the inevitable question: does tailoring the granite crusher machine inflate the overall cost beyond practical justification, or does it pay off over time? Understanding the financial dynamics behind customization is key to making a smart investment in heavy equipment.

Understanding Custom-Configured Granite Crushers

What Makes a Crusher "Custom"?


A crusher earns the "custom" label when it deviates from standard factory specifications to meet specific operational needs. This can range from modifying crushing chambers for different rock densities to outfitting the machine with enhanced liners, variable speed drives, or even hybrid powertrains. Some configurations involve re-engineering the feed systems or integrating smart automation technology for better particle size control.

Each alteration is meticulously engineered, often requiring tailored fabrication and unique assembly processes. Customization transforms an off-the-shelf machine into a purpose-built asset, fine-tuned to handle distinct geological conditions or specialized output requirements.

Common Customization Options


Options for customization are vast and growing. Among the most common are reinforced heavy-duty frames, specialized wear-resistant components, adjustable closed-side settings, and dust suppression systems. Automation packages that allow remote monitoring and real-time adjustments are also gaining ground rapidly.

Hybrid electric drives and modular designs for ease of transport are modern favorites. By selecting these options, operators can maximize crusher uptime, reduce operating costs, and achieve a far more predictable production curve, even with highly abrasive granite.

The Cost Equation: Breaking Down the Expenses

Initial Investment vs. Long-Term Gains


At first glance, a custom-configured granite crusher carries a higher sticker price compared to its standard counterpart. Bespoke engineering, specialized materials, and longer lead times all contribute to an elevated upfront cost.

However, long-term operational savings often overshadow the initial outlay. Custom jaw crusher mobile optimize throughput, minimize downtime, and prolong wear part life—all of which culminate in lower maintenance costs and improved material yield over time. For high-volume operations, the return on investment can be remarkably swift, making customization a financially sound strategy rather than a luxury.

Hidden Costs to Consider


Despite the advantages, prospective buyers must remain vigilant about hidden costs. Specialized components might require longer delivery times when replacements are needed, potentially leading to extended downtimes. Maintenance technicians may need additional training to service complex systems, adding another layer of cost.

Moreover, insurance premiums can sometimes be higher for custom machinery due to the perceived risk associated with non-standardized parts. A thorough lifecycle cost analysis is essential before signing off on any customized build.

The Value of Tailoring: Is It Worth It?

Performance Advantages


Custom configurations bring tangible performance enhancements. Crushing efficiency improves dramatically when the machine is calibrated specifically for granite's hardness and abrasiveness. Reduced wear rates and enhanced energy utilization mean operators enjoy steadier, more consistent production even under punishing conditions.

Customization also allows better adaptability to site-specific conditions, whether it's limited space, regulatory dust limits, or fluctuating feed material characteristics. This operational flexibility can spell the difference between merely surviving and thriving in competitive markets.

Strategic ROI in Specialized Applications


For companies engaged in niche or high-demand granite production, custom stone crushers are often indispensable. The strategic advantages of quicker project turnarounds, higher material quality, and lower cost per ton translate directly into market competitiveness and profitability.

Tailoring does not simply add cost—it adds value. By aligning the machine's capabilities perfectly with the production goals, operators position themselves for sustainable success and resilient operations, even as market demands evolve.

In a landscape where precision, durability, and efficiency dictate success, custom-configured granite crushers stand out not as extravagant indulgences, but as smart, strategic investments with the power to reshape operational outcomes.

Federated Services

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 services 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 entire 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. There 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 primary 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 instance 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
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. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.


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.

I’m starting to recover from my series of multiple respiratory infections. I would say I am 50% better: no nosebleeds or pinkeye, fever down, but still the cough is so bad I must avoid talking.

During this nightmare illness(es) I wrote notes to my future self to remember I am immunocompromised and take it seriously. As I feel better I notice I want to forget the whole thing and just act normal again. Sick me begs and pleads for healthy me to mask up and avoid exposure; healthy me doesn’t know what sick me is talking about, I’m fine.

It reminds me of “Severance,” having two states of mind so disconnected they might as well be different selves.

It is easy to criticize Trump and his style of negotiating, yet there are massive movements that would have been unthinkable not that long ago .

Russia gave up their hard-line territorial stance on the 4 occupied oblasts.

NATO silently dropped mention of NATO membership for Ukraine (!!!).

Ukrainians themselves are showing strong signs of accepting concessions.

Trump's hard-nosed style forced brute reality to be taken into account. Peace seems within grasp...

@Java I wouldn't say that his boasting backfired. As pointed out in the article, a proposal was put forth with enough pressure on both sides to have good hopes for an agreement.

Russia has made concessions, important ones, it seems.

NATO made a huge concession as well, the importance of which cannot be overstated.

Zelensky himself seems more demure and open, his choice of words is rather interesting.

Where do all those changes of heart come from?
