Jede Unterstützung der israelischen Armee, der Wirtschaft in den Siedlungen und israelischen Regierung ist immer auch die direkte und indirekte Unterstützung der Siedlerbewegung, und damit eine klare Unterstützung von Völkerrechtsverletzungen.

Wer etwas anders behauptet der spricht, der lügt oder hat einen völlig falschen Eindruck der Situation vor Ort.

Color Theory: Boosting Conversions with Strategic Hues


Colors don’t just beautify—they shape emotions, drive actions, and keep users engaged. For businesses eyeing more conversions, choosing the right palette blends creativity with psychology. Here’s how to make it happen.

Ever landed on a website and felt a sudden urge to click “add to cart” or “join now”? That’s color casting its spell. Colors don’t just beautify—they shape emotions, drive actions, and keep users engaged. For businesses eyeing more conversions, choosing the right palette blends creativity with psychology. Here’s how to make it happen.


Color Theory Explained


Color theory is your guide to crafting hues that captivate. It’s the foundation for visuals that leave a mark. The essentials:

  • Primary colors (red, blue, yellow) are your starting point.
  • Secondary colors (green, orange, purple) blend those primaries.
  • Complementary colors (like orange and blue) sit opposite on the color wheel, ideal for sharp contrast.

But don’t play it too safe. Stellar web design services bend these basics to fit a brand’s essence. A trendy startup might pair electric purple with black, while a heritage brand opts for muted gold and navy. The key is mixing classic rules with modern trends, like bold gradients or clean single-color schemes.


The Power of Color Psychology


Colors hit you fast. Red screams “act now!”—think flash sales. Blue radiates trust, a favorite for corporate brands. Green signals growth or eco-friendliness. But context changes the game.

Yellow’s perfect for a toy brand’s CTA but feels wrong for a luxury spa, where soft ivory or deep emerald shines. Your audience and product steer the choice. This is where web design services stand out, nailing the nuance. Data shows 90% of snap judgments about products are color-driven, so picking hues that resonate is critical.

A talented website designer starts with the goal: What action do we want? Then they choose shades that guide users subtly. Think bright reds and oranges for fast-food apps to spark hunger, or calming blues and greens for meditation platforms to feel serene.


Palettes That Convert


Want users clicking like it’s a contest? Your palette needs harmony and intent. Try this:

  • 60% main color: Your brand’s defining hue.
  • 30% secondary shade: Adds balance (like white with slate grey).
  • 10% accent color: For buttons or highlights—vivid but tasteful.

Tools like Coolors or Adobe Color simplify the process, but human intuition elevates it. AI can suggest trendy combos, but it lacks the audience insight a pro website designer brings.

Contrast is a must. Light text on a pale background? A strain to read. WebAIM’s Contrast Checker keeps things clear. Accessibility matters—4% of people have color vision issues, so pair similar hues with textures (like waves versus dots) in visuals like graphs.


Real-World Impact


Check these out:

  • Retail: H&M’s red buttons pop against clean white, nudging purchases.
  • Wellness: Soothing greens and soft beiges in yoga apps feel calming.
  • Tech: Dark themes with neon green accents scream “next-gen.”

Web design services lean on data. A/B testing showed a button color swap from green to yellow boosted conversions by 19%. Small tweaks, big results.


The Human Advantage


Design tools promise “ideal” palettes, but great color choices tell a story. A website designer digs into your brand’s heart, crafting visuals that connect. AI might churn out a mockup, but humans add the soul.

Pros still use tech smartly. Plugins flag low-contrast issues; others analyze competitor hues for fresh angles. Combine tech’s speed with human spark, and you’re unstoppable. Designers often pitch multiple palette options, linking each to your mission before finalizing.


Final Takeaway


Skip the dull templates. Smart color choices turn scrollers into buyers. Hire web designer Singapore or, if DIY-ing, keep it sharp: High contrast, focused palettes, and hues that stir the right feelings.

Your site’s colors aren’t just pretty—they’re your silent closer. Let them work.

And we're back!

Sweet jeezus that was rough. However things were made infinitely more difficulty by a self-inflicted goof on my part (that's what I get for not trusting the output the AI gave me and remarkably it wasn't ChatGPT but Google Gemini. I had the wrong Ubuntu "release" (jammy instead of noble) in my apt sources). No wonder I couldn't reinstall anything!

Any how.

All fixed. But my networking might be a bit screwed up now since I had to set everything up manually in root's CLI.

And I figured out what "desktop environment" that took over my Cinnamon desktop: something called "mutter" whatever the fuck that was.

I'm actually not 100% sure mutter isn't used by cinnamon as well, since it's built on top of GNOME (tech), but that sounds rough alright. Nothing a reinstall and a #backup recovery doesn't fix though, I'm guessing. That's why I love #linux , even if you mess it up real bad you're not at the end of the world as one would be with other OS's

On the eve of a major life change, a sign emerges.

8 years ago I upended my life in Pittsburgh to pursue something new in Chicago. Risked it all, it paid off.

Fast forward to now. Tomorrow I upend my Chicago life and move to Chattanooga to live off investments but also trade my own $ for my own $.

It’s my last night here, and I decided to drop by my local bar where I’m a regular. Randomly, Pittsburgh vs Chicago baseball is on the TV.

If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is.

I've got news for any company trying to keep minors away from erotica .... They've been writing smut since the dawn of time.

Hell, Otto Frank had to censor his daughter's praised diary because of all the smut she wrote down.

I got me a cute little portable CO2 monitor, as part of my "I am immunocompromised and don't want to get sick 8 weeks at a time from 'minor' illnesses that don't even give other people symptoms" lifestyle. In addition to wearing a mask in enclosed public spaces, thus making me look like an idiot and/or crazy person (or "shitlib" as @polarisera would say), this little device will tell me when to run away from poorly ventilated/overly exhaled-in rooms.

It displayed 789 when I first brought it into my office, so I opened a window and turned on the ceiling fan and now it's down to 567. Fun!

"They found that when carbon dioxide levels rose independently, arsenic levels in the rice kernels barely increased. When measuring the arsenic concentrations with an increase in temperature, arsenic levels rose noticeably higher. However, when heat and extra carbon dioxide were combined, the arsenic levels surged far more than either factor alone, which the authors called a 'synergistic increase.'"

The claim that the CIA has "casually released documents" stating that we live in an energy hologram and that astral projection is real is a mix of popular conspiracy theories and misinterpretations of declassified documents. While the CIA has indeed declassified many documents related to paranormal research, remote viewing, and other unconventional topics, the interpretation that this confirms we live in a hologram or that astral projection is scientifically proven is not supported by mainstream science.

### What the CIA Actually Released

1. **Remote Viewing and the Stargate Project**
The CIA funded and declassified documents related to the **Stargate Project**, a program that explored **remote viewing**-the claimed ability to perceive distant or unseen targets using extrasensory perception (ESP). These documents are available publicly and show the agency's interest in psychic phenomena during the Cold War. However, the results were inconclusive and often criticized for lack of scientific rigor.

2. **No Official Confirmation of "Energy Hologram" Reality**
The idea that reality is a hologram comes from theoretical physics concepts like the **holographic principle**, which is a complex and speculative theory about the nature of the universe. This concept is not something the CIA has officially endorsed or confirmed.

3. **Astral Projection**
Astral projection is a metaphysical concept where a person's consciousness is said to travel outside their physical body. While it has been studied in parapsychology and mentioned in some documents related to psychic research, it remains a subjective experience without scientific consensus or empirical proof.

### Reliable Sources and References

- **CIA's FOIA Reading Room**: You can explore declassified documents related to psychic research here:
[cia.gov/readingroom/](cia.gov/readingroom/)

- **Stargate Project Documents**:
[cia.gov/readingroom/document/c…](cia.gov/readingroom/document/c…)

- **Skeptical Analysis**:
The James Randi Educational Foundation and other skeptical organizations have analyzed claims about remote viewing and astral projection extensively.

### Summary

- The CIA has declassified documents on psychic phenomena and remote viewing but has not confirmed that reality is an energy hologram or that astral projection is objectively real.
- These topics remain speculative, with no scientific consensus.
- If you want to read the original documents, the CIA’s FOIA Reading Room is the best place to start.

If you want, I can help you find specific documents or summarize key findings from the Stargate Project or related research.

I bought an old System 80 from the vintage computer market (it’s a clone of the TRS-80 model 1 that was popular in the antipodes it its day). Like many of these machines it had been lovingly hobbyist-upgraded. This one had a second bank of RAM chips piggybacked atop the factory chips, with chip select lines free-form routed above the mainboard in tinned copper wire; this was a common mod, just like today computers from the store were near-criminally under resourced with RAM. Less typical was the pentagonal arrangement of inductor coils, the copper coils apparently connected with silver (not tin, actual Argentum) wire. Not clear what this mod does, let’s see if she boots.

The BBC Don't Tend To Like The Truth Being Told!

I Wonder If This BBC Snooker Commentator Will Still Have A Job Tomorrow?

Le professionnel du #snooker Ben #Woollaston souffre de problèmes de #santé à long terme après sa vaccination contre le Covid, et doit mener une longue bataille pour revenir au plus haut niveau du snooker après ce qu'il dit être une réaction directe à une injection de Covid en mai 2021.
Il a déclaré avoir souffert de « black-outs » et avoir été « incapable de se tenir debout pendant environ six mois » .
Woollaston raconte qu'il s'est « évanoui » peu après la vaccination, ajoutant que ses symptômes ont persisté une fois rentré chez lui. Il a fini par « dormir 18 à 20 heures par jour ».

Aujourd'hui encore, il dit qu'il ne peut pas jouer avec son jeune fils dans le jardin plus de quelques minutes avant qu'il ait besoin de s'allonger.

« C'est à cause du vaccin, c'est arrivé ce jour-là, en mai 2021 », a expliqué Woollaston dans une interview plus tôt cette saison. « Je me suis évanoui après l'avoir eu. Je n'ai pas pu me tenir debout pendant environ six mois. Je ne m'étais jamais évanoui de ma vie, mais j'ai eu la même sensation pendant environ six mois. Debout dans le jardin, debout sous la douche, j'avais l'impression que j'allais m'évanouir. »
Je n'arrivais pas à dormir suffisamment. Je me réveillais littéralement pour manger, car je dormais 18 à 20 heures par jour. J'ai pris énormément de poids à force de manger et de dormir. C'était horrible. Je frappais la balle et j'oubliais, l'espace d'une fraction de seconde.
Je pouvais tout rater, c'était un peu la loterie. Je jouais les yeux fermés sur quelques coups. C'est moins fréquent maintenant, mais c'est frustrant car c'est imprévisible. J'ai été dans le top 32 pendant environ six années consécutives. Je n'avais jamais envisagé d'abandonner le circuit, mais à un moment, je ne voyais pas comment y rester.
Malgré une série d’examens et de tests, les médecins restent perplexes.
Woollaston a ajouté : « Honnêtement, ils n'en ont pas vraiment la moindre idée. Ça a été dur pour ma femme. Pour être sincère, seules ma femme et ma mère comprennent vraiment ce que ça représente. »
« Je n'y croirais probablement pas si c'était quelqu'un d'autre, parce que c'est bizarre, non ? C'est difficile à comprendre, car même les spécialistes ne comprennent pas. Ils ne savent pas quoi faire. »
Je ne sais pas si c'est le syndrome de fatigue chronique. C'est seulement ce qu'un médecin m'a dit, mais c'était par visioconférence, alors comment le saurait-il ? Quelque chose m'a rendu malade à cause du vaccin, mais je ne sais pas quoi.
Pour mémoire, Woollaston a éliminé le quadruple champion du monde Mark Selby dans un thriller de fin de soirée pour progresser dans les championnats.

Shell Accounts

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
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.

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.

friendica (DFRN) - Link to source
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.


If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/

How is that a kitchen appliance can bring me so much joy?

But it's true!

Had to buy a new electric kettle because I almost burned my RV down with my old one. (It refused to shut off, all the water inside evaporated, and just sat there getting hotter and hotter.)

So I bought this cheap electric kettle from Walmart from "Chefman" and this thing gives me so much joy.

It's got a glass decanter so you can immediately see how much water is in it. Blue LEDs at the base light up and make a little light show as the water boils.

And it's the perfect size! 1000ml capacity means it heats the water up really fast and a liter of water is the perfect size for a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of tea.

I love the little thing.

in reply to Fish of Rage

that's an oversimplification. russia has a right to protect majority ethnic russians in an area that had a referendum to withdraw from the CIA coup governent of 2014, and suffered a lot of artillery attacks against civilians since then. not to mention all the bioweapons labs the US had set up there, and the ambitions to join nato since the minsk accords.
