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.

  • 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.

Carbon fiber is not new to aerospace


Carbon fiber has long been celebrated for its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and sleek aesthetics. As the material continues to evolve, 2025 has seen groundbreaking innovations in its application, particularly through the use of carbon fiber sheets like 10 inch FPV. These thin, flexible laminates are reshaping how industries approach design and engineering. Below are the top five innovative uses of carbon fiber sheets in 2025.

1. Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Housings
With the global push toward electrification, EV manufacturers are turning to carbon fiber sheets to revolutionize battery housing structures. These housings need to be lightweight, thermally stable, and resistant to impacts. In 2025, automakers are using layered carbon fiber composites to not only reduce vehicle weight but also to improve crash safety and thermal management. This leads to longer driving ranges and safer energy storage systems.

2. Smart Carbon Fiber in Aerospace
Carbon fiber is not new to aerospace, but 2025 has brought a new twist: smart carbon fiber sheets embedded with sensors. These materials now monitor stress, temperature, and vibration in real-time. Aircraft manufacturers are incorporating these sheets into fuselages and wing components to improve maintenance and safety. The result is enhanced flight performance and reduced operational costs through predictive maintenance.

3. Next-Gen Architectural Facades
Architecture has embraced carbon fiber for more than just its futuristic look. In 2025, we’re seeing it used in dynamic building facades. These sheets are designed to be lightweight yet incredibly strong, and some even integrate photovoltaic cells or reactive shading technologies. Buildings can now regulate light and temperature more efficiently while maintaining stunning aesthetic designs, particularly in earthquake-prone or high-wind areas where resilience is key.

4. Wearable Medical Exoskeletons
Carbon fiber’s application in healthcare has expanded dramatically in 2025. One standout innovation is in wearable medical exoskeletons. These assistive devices help patients with mobility challenges by supporting movement and reducing fatigue. Carbon fiber sheets are used to create lightweight, ergonomic frames that provide both strength and flexibility. Additionally, carbon’s biocompatibility ensures comfort for long-term wear.

5. Custom Consumer Electronics
As gadgets become thinner and more durable, carbon fiber sheets are playing a major role in the consumer electronics space. In 2025, smartphones, laptops, and even smartwatches feature carbon fiber skins and internal components for added strength without extra bulk. Some manufacturers are also using carbon fiber for electromagnetic shielding, offering both form and function in a stylish, tech-forward package.

Conclusion
The versatility of carbon fiber sheets is transforming industries, pushing boundaries in performance, aesthetics, and sustainability. From mobility and aerospace to architecture and health, the material's adaptability ensures it will remain at the forefront of innovation well beyond 2025. As manufacturing techniques improve and costs decrease, expect to see carbon fiber integrated into everyday life in ways we’re only beginning to imagine.

Andrei Zhdanov: Under the leadership of Comrade Stalin, the Party is organizing the masses for the struggle to destroy capitalist elements once and for all, to eradicate the vestiges of capitalism in our economy and in people's minds, and to complete the technical reconstruction of our national economy. The eradication of vestiges of capitalism in people's consciousness means struggle against every vestige of bourgeois influence over the proletariat, against laxity, frivolity or idling, against petty-bourgeois license and individualism, against graft and dishonesty towards social property. We hold a trusty weapon to overcome all the difficulties in our path. This weapon is the great and invincible teaching of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, now being put into practice by our Party. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Pesticides : « Les agriculteurs, les riverains et les citoyens ne veulent plus servir de cobayes », alertent 1 200 médecins et scientifiques


#environnement #agriculture #pollution #santé #biodiversité

Dans une lettre ouverte aux ministres de l’agriculture, de la santé et de l’environnement rendue publique lundi 5 mai, des centaines de médecins et de scientifiques s’opposent aux dispositions de la proposition de loi du sénateur républicain Laurent Duplomb.
Lors d’un rassemblement d’apiculteurs contre la loi Duplomb, sur un marché de Toulouse, le 27 avril 2025.

Réintroduire des produits « tueurs d’abeilles » interdits, placer le « gendarme » des pesticides sous la houlette des filières agricoles, maintenir l’évaluation des molécules sous la coupe de leurs fabricants, écarter la littérature scientifique de l’analyse des risques… Dans une lettre ouverte rendue publique lundi 5 mai, plus de 1 200 médecins et scientifiques alertent les ministres de l’agriculture, de la santé et de l’environnement sur les failles du système d’homologation de ces produits, qui font de la population des « cobayes », écrivent les signataires.

Parmi eux, plusieurs centaines de médecins, mais aussi de nombreux membres des communautés scientifiques impliquées (toxicologie, écotoxicologie, agronomie, etc.) issus des universités et des organismes de recherche publics (Centre national de la recherche scientifique, CNRS ; Institut national de recherche pour l’agriculture, l’alimentation et l’environnement, Inrae ; Institut de recherche pour le développement ; Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement).

Les signataires demandent le renforcement de l’expertise réglementaire et s’opposent aux dispositions de la proposition de loi du sénateur de la Haute-Loire Laurent Duplomb (Les Républicains), qui doit être examinée par les députés avant la fin du mois de mai. « Cette proposition de loi contient de nombreuses mesures qui vont renforcer la dépendance des agriculteurs aux pesticides chimiques de synthèse, sans pour autant répondre à leur demande de rémunération juste, dénoncent les signataires. Or, cette dépendance pose déjà d’énormes problèmes de santé humaine et de dégradation de l’environnement. »
« Faits scientifiques incontestables »

Portée par plusieurs organisations de médecins (Médecins du monde, Alerte des médecins sur les pesticides), la lettre met en avant les données déjà acquises sur les effets sanitaires et environnementaux de ces intrants. « La liste des pathologies en lien avec l’exposition professionnelle aux pesticides ne cesse de s’allonger, tout comme celle des pathologies impactant la population générale, en particulier par la contamination lors de fenêtres de vulnérabilité comme la grossesse, ajoutent les signataires. Deux expertises collectives, celle de l’Inserm [Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale], en 2021, et celle de l’Inrae, en 2022, ont permis d’établir des faits scientifiques incontestables, écrivent les signataires. La contamination par les pesticides de tous les milieux et du biote [faune et flore] qui y vit est généralisée et tous les niveaux d’organisation biologique sont impactés. »

Les signataires rappellent que l’évaluation des risques de ces substances demeure « dépendante des données fournies par les industriels » ; que les tests réglementaires « n’explorent pas tous les risques potentiels » comme, par exemple, les propriétés de perturbation endocrinienne ; que la littérature scientifique « est trop souvent marginalisée » dans les procédures d’homologation.

Enfin, ils soulignent que les risques liés à l’exposition chronique des produits réellement utilisés sur les parcelles et les effets potentiels des mélanges (« effet cocktail ») ne sont pas évalués avant autorisation de mise sur le marché. « Agriculteurs, riverains, citoyens ne veulent plus servir de cobayes à l’évaluation de “l’effet cocktail” de toutes ces substances disséminées dans l’environnement, et que l’on retrouve dans l’eau du robinet, les eaux minérales, et nos aliments », plaident-ils.
Le retour de trois néonicotinoïdes interdits

Ceux-ci s’en prennent aussi à la proposition de loi Duplomb, qui prévoit notamment la création d’un « conseil d’orientation pour la protection des cultures », composé de représentants des filières agricoles et de l’industrie des pesticides, qui superviserait l’agenda de travail de l’Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l’alimentation, de l’environnement et du travail (Anses). Cela reviendrait, selon les 1 200 chercheurs et médecins signataires, « à une remise en cause de la place de l’expertise à travers un affaiblissement du rôle de l’Anses ». Auditionné à l’Assemblée nationale le 25 mars, le directeur général de l’Anses, Benoît Vallet, avait déclaré qu’une telle mise sous tutelle de l’agence reviendrait à une forme de rupture de contrat. « Pour moi, il n’y aurait plus la possibilité de rester directeur général de l’agence », avait-il précisé.

« La loi Duplomb sacrifie la santé et en premier lieu celle des agriculteurs au profit de l’industrie agrochimique, et constitue une grave remise en cause de l’indépendance de la science, comme on le voit aux Etats-Unis », estime Marc Billaud, chercheur au CNRS, signataire du courrier aux ministres et coauteur – avec le professeur d’hématologie aux Hospices civils de Lyon et à l’université Lyon-I Pierre Sujobert – d’un article dénonçant les manœuvres d’occultation des liens entre pesticides et cancers du sang, dans la prochaine édition de la Revue de biologie médicale.

Autre point de crispation : le retour de trois néonicotinoïdes ou apparentés, interdits au terme de plus d’un millier d’études publiées dans littérature scientifique, expliquent les signataires, pour les risques qu’ils font peser sur les abeilles et les insectes pollinisateurs. Ces dernières semaines, des rassemblements d’apiculteurs protestant contre un tel retour se sont tenus en France. La ministre de la transition écologique, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, s’est prononcée contre cette mesure. Le gouvernement a une position réservée. Contactés, les autres ministres destinataires du courrier n’étaient pas, lundi 5 mai au soir, en mesure de réagir.

Quotes

  • 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.
