Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

the amount of times i have seen decent or even good men twist and turn doing a 180 for lesser w*men's attention or approval i can only come to the conclusion that simping is some kind of psychological disease compounded by modern ostracism of men and the worship of anything with a pussy. its no surprising low T men want to become them to get even a shred of the love and attention. i don't even think shits gonna get better when men boogaloo because there will always be a larger amount of simps willing to backstab there fellow men for the tiniest possibility of pussy. anything short of ww3 killing most and soyciety reverting back to the stone age ain't gonna change shit.

Why don't they cut power and water to the facility? What am I missing here? Why wouldn't that work? Sure. They can bring in their own generators. But what are they going to do about water and sewage? Waste collection?
Based on how people are treated by that bunch, I suspect it wouldn’t work because it wouldn’t change a thing, other than now the prisoners have no water or waste collection.
Oh they do. That's pretty concrete. A Fire Marshal can order the evacuation of any building (even order that it be razed to the ground) if it's unsafe or violates Fire Codes for example. Doesn't matter who the "owner" of the building is whether it's private or public.
It just sounds to me that the politicians don't want that fight even though they would most definitely be in the right.
Tell the waste management contractors not to service the location. If they want to continue to do business with the City/ County tell them they must not service the facility.
Water and sewage is usually provided by the municipality. They can very easily turn the water off without setting foot on the property.
And since you've told the waste management companies not to do business then there's no port-a-potties/ porta-loos that would be delivered.
Frankly the Mayor should be able to get a list of all the employees at the facility. Turn off the water, sewer, and electricity to their homes too while he's at it.
There's ways to put the screws to them. You just have to have the balls.

In my opinion, MPV is even better. I mean, it is faster and has better codec support. On the other hand, VLC has a better user interface with a lot of preferences. As for Showtime, oh boy, it's a clear beauty!
For now I'm staying with MPV, because ffmpeg > gstreamer.
Websites are getting hammered by AI bots stealing content and jacking up their bandwidth usage. So they use a piece of software called Anubis which, for some reason, has a cartoon nurse that will grant or deny you access based on if she thinks you are human or AI. For some reason, she thinks I am AI so I can’t access the article.
Anubis also relies on modern web browser features:
ES6 modules to load the client-side code and the proof-of-work challenge code.\ Web Workers to run the proof-of-work challenge in a separate thread to avoid blocking the UI thread.\ Fetch API to communicate with the Anubis server.\ Web Cryptography API to generate the proof-of-work challenge.\ This ensures that browsers are decently modern in order to combat most known scrapers. It's not perfect, but it's a good start.
This will also lock out users who have JavaScript disabled, prevent your server from being indexed in search engines, require users to have HTTP cookies enabled, and require users to spend time solving the proof-of-work challenge.
This does mean that users using text-only browsers or older machines where they are unable to update their browser will be locked out of services protected by Anubis. This is a tradeoff that I am not happy about, but it is the world we live in now.
Me. I support this, and I did for over a decade. If you don't use windows there are more performant general purpose media players than VLC. Anybody who's been reviving old hardware with Linux knows this.
You sound like you suspect that people want to dis VLC. That is not the case. I'm sure VLC has valid use cases even on Linux, and it certainly is a marvellous piece of software in its own right.
In this case it's more of a switch away from the last cool new thing. Totem (like Music) was built around a media library navigated from within the app. By default Totem doesn't even support opening videos from the file manager, which is something you would probably expect of a video player. It also crashed for me when I tried using it as intended so I'm not surprised to see it replaced by an app that really is just a video player.
That said many apps get replaced not for feature reasons but just by being GTK3, and they tend to get replaced by their own forks to GTK4 (such as the upcoming replacement of Evince). Why their devs choose to upgrade toolkits this way I cannot say.
Curious what folks are using to organise their remote connections? I liked WinSSHTerm and have tried replacing it with Remote Desktop Manager, but it seems a bit broken (fonts look terrible in a terminal, sftp doesn't work, RDP sort of works, but it's not great).
RDP is not a must. Folders, ssh, key auth, sftp and scp are the main things I'm looking for. Currently considering Remmina but though I would check if ppl have strong views on this topic before trying the next app.
Uh, I just type ssh or rsync into the terminal and that's it. It's a manageable amount of computers/servers I connect to, so I can remeber their names. Regular ssh stores all the keys or custom ports / IPs in its config. What's the advantage to use some manager?
Remmina proves a reliable solution for remote desktop access when a graphical interface is required. However, for more streamlined operations, terminal-based SSH access – ssh user@host – remains the preferred method. Establishing passwordless authentication is, naturally, a matter of convenience. The command ssh-copy-id username@remote_host facilitates this process. It’s a rather elegant solution, isn't it? A testament to the power of minimalism.
I use Apache Guacamole, which works great for just about any kind of remote access and has a dead simple to use Docker Container.
It supports folders, copy/paste, uploading/downloading files, multiple open connections at once, and alternative mouse modes for touch screens. Best of all, it's completely free and open source.
A graphical interface to store and sort the remote connections. I have 20+ remote systems I need to maintain and apps like this provide tabbed experience like a browser to connect to them.
I've yet to find anything more efficient than opening my shell and typing ssh or scp. Remote desktop is irrelevant to me because none of the systems I administrate will ever have a GUI.
It can even auto-configure itself by parsing out your ~/.ssh/config so you can keep everything defined there for easy CLI access but also use the GUI when desired.
XPipe is a new type of connection hub that allows you to access your entire sever infrastructure from your local machine. It works on top of your installed command-line programs and does not require any setup on your remote systems.
+1 for XPipe. This is pretty much exactly what OP is asking for. It also does SSH tunneling, SSH reverse-tunneling, manages connections into containers, and many other things. I'm a big fan.
The reason you are having trouble finding a replacement is because thats not really how the linux world approaches things.
Learn the terminal, scp, ssh (esp key auth if you havent), sshfs, tmux, vim or emacs and you will find you are incredibly effective at modern admin tasks. If you havent already, look into something like saltstack or ansible to make your life even easier.
I use those tools already and have been administering Linux/bsd/docker for years. What's new for me is using it as a desktop. The existence of scp, ssh etc dont solve this problem and while I find it interesting to learn how other admins are essentially making their own central console out of these components, it is a bit much seeing commenters insist that this is the same thing, or suggesting that anyone who wants a central console for their remote systems must be somehow incompetent. Sysadmins can have different workflow and tooling preferences.
I've been using Linux for almost 30 years, and I agree with you completely. There should be a plethora of tools to organize SSH hosts, but unfortunately none of them are great, or at least I've never particular gelled with any. I just remember the hostnames and what user I happen to use for each, and copy my keys around, because I jump around between a lot of computers.
I did use SSHwifty for a while because then I could just jump into a browser and go to a webpage with all of them. Dunno why I got away from that, it was handy.

A social movement I could get behind: do not watch sports. At all. Do exercise/sports and do not watch them. Not in stadiums not on TV or anything.
Watching sports comes with all sorts of mindlessness that is bad for you. It's prepackaged with advertising for products you don't need. Alcohol is a big part of sports watching. There is a strange sort of oppressive conformity with the marked up branded sports team clothing. T shirt printing companies seem to work very hard at screening what you can print, probably mostly because of sports. Kinda makes you feel bad because it's hard to compare yourself to a few people that have physical attributes that are so unimaginably greater than yours they may as well be a different species.
However, Sports might be necessary for social functioning in ways we don’t understand. Like religion, or possibly even war/militaries, just getting rid of it might have very bad unintended consequences. So who am I to tell people not to watch sports? I don’t think people should have kids either, but even I know society can’t continue if everyone were like me.
@BiffPeople are lazy. Also they like drugs. All bad for us, but then Life is bad for us. You can live a super healthy active life and get crippling chronic illness anyway (ask me how I know). You can watch stupid sportsball and drink alcohol and be an aggressive obnoxious male and do just fine. Kind of like how you can think independently and be correct about things and get canceled and excommunicated (ask me how I know); or you can be an idiot and believe and promote all kinds of insane bullshit and be successful. Who am I to tell people what to do? I just stay away from the alcoholic aggressive spectator sports scene, among other broad swathes of humanity, 'cause I dion't like it.
@quasiI dunno about morals. I just don’t think preaching atheism helps. Humans gonna human. As annoying as humans are, we really don’t know how to make us better.
I hate sportsball and booze and babies, other people love them, and they’re gonna keep loving them no matter how much they annoy me.
That said, if @mittimithai is actually expressing his annoyance and drunken sports spectators, I’m all for it. They’re not gonna stop though, certainly not for rational reasons, as primal human behavior isn’t rational. And there may well be benefits we can’t comprehend.
My expression is linked to the idea that I generally feel quite powerless to change much around me (in a socio political sense), I do wonder how anyone does anything. I sometimes like to think of small single issues that one could make a social campaign off of for some reason, "don't watch sports" seems concise and controversial enough that it could catch on.
It won't ofc. Like you say, humans going to human.
@quasiI would be perpetually annoyed by that. There’s big sportsball in my little city (university sportsball, college town) but I live many miles away from it, thankfully.
Recently, I watched Andrew Kelley’s talk on Practical Data Oriented Design. It goes into some of the architectural changes he’s been making to the Zig compiler, with pretty significant performance benefit.

Einmal kam sie auf ein Glas Wein Zu mir herein, zu mir herein Sie schaute sich um, spuckte kräftig in die Hände Und brachte Ordnung in meine vier Wände! Alle Sofakissen hatte sie geschickt Und sauber in der Mitte geknickt!
Ich weiß, so ein Mädchen ist eigentlich Viel zu schade für mich Viel zu schade für mich!
Dann stand sie und wischte, auf der Fensterbank Alle Scheiben blank, alle Scheiben blank! Soviel Fleiß ist Gabe, nicht anerzogen Und statt der Muttermilch eingesogen! Endlich war alles sauber und geputzt – Nur hatte sie ihr neues Kleidchen beschmutzt!
Ich weiß, so ein Mädchen ist eigentlich Viel zu schade für mich Viel zu schade für mich!
Sie hängte das Kleidchen mit den Flecken drin Zum trocknen hin, zum trocknen hin Da sah ich, dass sie selbstgestrickte Hosen trug Geräumig und warm, zum Schutz gegen Zug! Die konnte sie, wenn sie wollte, von den Knien Bequem bis unter die Achseln zieh'n!
Ich weiß, so ein Mädchen ist eigentlich Viel zu schade für mich Viel zu schade für mich!
Sie hatte ihre Zahnbürste mitgebracht Und blieb über Nacht, und blieb über Nacht Sie weinte, weil ich sagte, dass sie Ruhe geben sollte Als sie ein paar Kunststückchen vorführen wollte Einem Buch "Glück zu zweit" – oder so – entnommen – An jedem Bahnhof kann man es bekommen!
Ich weiß, so ein Mädchen ist eigentlich Viel zu schade für mich Viel zu schade für mich!
Ich sagte ihr, dass sie nichts zu weinen hätte In meinem Bette, in meinem Bette! "Warte bis morgen, dann triffst du hier Einen Freund von mir, der ist netter zu dir!" – Jetzt wohnt sie bei ihm, hat ihm längst geschickt Die Nummes seines Autos auf ein Kissen gestickt!
Ich weiß, dieses ein Mädchen war eigentlich Viel zu schade für mich Viel zu schade für mich!

That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

The success of the missile launched by the Yemeni Armed Forces toward the Zionist "Ben Gurion" Airport, which reached its target without being intercepted, has stunned military and strategic analysts.
Ricardo Prada Vásquez was not on a government list of people sent to a mega prison in El Salvador. But hacked data shows he was booked on a flight to the country.
This hurts though. I am obviously an Ayheist, so, if you ask me "does God play a role in your life", I will obviously say No.
But, when you ask if I value parent-child ties, deference to authority, and traditional family values, reject divorce and abortion, and often have high levels of national pride and a nationalistic outlook.... Then hell yeah.
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s hostility to the oil industry could lead to the closure of local refineries — which, in turn, could push gas prices past $6 per gallon, or even $9 per gallon, a local analyst has warned.
I believe there's an ongoing plan to destroy Greasy NewScum's attempt to run for POTUS & to destroy the RATs in the CA Assembly & elsewhere. There's a constant rumor that Greasy is gone perhaps at Gitmo because of his 'bad habits" & known corruption including dealings with the CCP, shall we say.
There's a third RECALL going forward on Greasy. He beat the other two via voter fraud. CA is, after all, the prototype of RAT/RINO voter fraud that's been going on for decades.
Ich hatte ja vor einiger Zeit meinen Hub Whoville auf "Registrierung nur mit Einladungscode" umgestellt, weil ich Unmengen an Fake-Registrierungen hatte (immer massenweise von einigen wenigen IPs mit ausgedachten, nicht existierenden gmail- oder gerne auch yahoo-Mailkonten).
Zunächst hatte ich angefangen, die IPs bzw ganze IP-Bereiche, aus welchen die Anmeldungen stammten, serverseitig zu sperren, doch dann gab es ganz schnell eine Ausweichbewegung.
Nun dachte ich, vielleicht ist das "Interesse" nach längerer Zeit erloschen.
Aber: "Denkste, Puppe!"
Täglich locker um die 50 Fake-Registrierungen.
Schadet ja eigentlich nicht, weil aufgrund der nicht-existenten Mail-Adressen keine Verifizierung stattfinden kann und die vergeblichen Registrierungen irgendwann eh gelöscht werden. Trotzdem geht mir das echt auf den Zünder und die riesige Liste birgt das Risiko, dass da mal eine reguläre Registrierung untergeht, weil ich sie übersehe und dann die Registrierung schlicht nicht genehmige. Leck' Arsch! Dann halt wieder mit Einladungscodes.
Wer einen Account bei Whoville haben mag, muss mich halt kontaktieren. Dan jibbet auch einen Code... ohne viel Gehampel.

in reply to Carolee 🏳️⚧️🇺🇦🏳️🌈🇵🇸 • • •Oh they do. That's pretty concrete. A Fire Marshal can order the evacuation of any building (even order that it be razed to the ground) if it's unsafe or violates Fire Codes for example. Doesn't matter who the "owner" of the building is whether it's private or public.
It just sounds to me that the politicians don't want that fight even though they would most definitely be in the right.
Tell the waste management contractors not to service the location. If they want to continue to do business with the City/ County tell them they must not service the facility.
Water and sewage is usually provided by the municipality. They can very easily turn the water off without setting foot on the property.
And since you've told the waste management companies not to do business then there's no port-a-potties/ porta-loos that would be delivered.
Frankly the Mayor should be able to get a list of all the employees at the facility. Turn off the water, sewer, and electricity to their homes too while he's at it.
There's ways to put the screws to them. You just have to have the balls.
