Scientists know that changing tree leaves can indicate when a nearby volcano is becoming more active and might erupt. In a new collaboration between NASA and the Smithsonian Institution, scientists now believe they can detect these changes from space. As volcanic magma ascends through the Earth’s crust, it releases carbon dioxide and other gases which […]
Following an international signing ceremony Thursday, NASA congratulated Norway on becoming the latest country to join the Artemis Accords, committing to the peaceful, transparent, and responsible exploration of space. “We’re grateful for the strong and meaningful collaboration we’ve already had with the Norwegian Space Agency,” said acting NASA Administrator Janet Petro. “Now, by signing the […]
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the refusal of all ambassadors of the European Union member states to come to a meeting with him and participate in an open discussion on Ukraine is a ‘shameful act.
as somebody with no "home internet" of my own who therefore relies on a 24/7 VPN, let me tell you I am getting very sick of dipshits simply wholesale blocking data center IPs as a "security policy"
i try my hardest to avoid those websites as part of my own security policy. at best its a lazy approach to security, at worse they just want to force you to give them maximum identifying info.
@benda the worst part about this: the site I am currently having problems with is the resources + forums + .deb repos of the weird Debian flavor (Bunsenlabs) which I run on virtualized desktops 😭
fortunately updates to the packages in said flavor are rare enough that I can probably ignore this for 3 months and see if it solves itself.
you know, sometimes its worth a shot to try to reach out to someone. sometimes the problem is on the DNS end, unbeknown to the admin. a few months ago i couldnt read a @igd_news article bc their DNS was blocking my VPN IP and when I pointed it out to them, to got the issue fixed. plus like... apt can literally be setup to run via tor. very silly of them to blanket block IPAs like that.
@benda oh duh, I completely forgot I could set it up to use Tor.
I had considered reaching out, it's just a couple guys running that project, and tbh they should know that blocking data center IPs is a bad call since their (relatively) light distro with compositing disabled is a great choice for running on headless desktop VMs with no GPU.
the main reason I defaulted to 'wait and see' is mostly just, I'm tired and my task list is 20 miles long 😩
#fedihelp time, although this is a small and simple (i hope) #linux question...
in redirecting all output of a command, standard output and standard error, it seems the correct syntax is:
some_script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
except one website I am reading put >& and then later put &> and so I tried and it seems both work exactly the same... am i wrong that they are both working? if i am not wrong, how do they both work? I feel like &> would background "some_script.sh" while its standard output is going to bitbucket, and then... i don't even know.
as with so many little shell intricacies, the answer is ‘they’re very similar but not quite the same’ and although it feels like a copout, the easiest way to explain it is just to let the documentation do it 😅 gnu.org/software/bash/manual/h…
@brhfl not in a bad way! 😀 remember months ago I was asking about how to run a process on my server and then logout without killing it? you had recommended nohup which I didn't use, only bc i couldn't figure it out! the wikipedia article has this one line:
and I had never dealt with the I/O streams before so that shit might as well have been C. but now I am finally understanding all of this so thank you very very much!! (also, thanks to librewolf for not losing that tab... takes a while to get some things off my to-do list).
ahhh yeah, very cool! yeah it’s definitely one of the more arcane parts of linux that i, at least, can’t find a way to intuit, just have to memorize it (or at least where it lives in the docs, lol)
zsh’s documentation is even closer to c; they literally just point you to the syscalls manual and call it a day 🙄
yeah, i feel like i should move full-time to bash at some point. it’s just not worth it if you want to do any portable scripting. i used fish for years but all it did was teach me awful, awful habits. zsh is much better but any time i go to write a script, i want to do it in bash… and while it largely confirms to standards, afaik your initial question, both forms are identical in zsh. so there’s little shit you have to check on every time. it’s rough.
@brhfl this is all a super bummer to me 🙁 i guess i should sit down and figure out which shell is going to be the most portable before i get too deep in studying shell scripting.
bleh, i worded that super poorly! ime bash is the way to go for portability, so i try to write all my scripts in bash… but i use zsh interactively currently, and occasionally that comes back to bite me when i’m writing for bash and things are just sliiightly different.
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.

I will start by explaining why the defeat of the West does not in itself surprise me, and why indeed I have anticipated it, and then I’ll try to say something about the areas where I am less certain and to formulate a few hypotheses. But please excuse my lack of certainty at this point. To offer any certainty at this point about what is going to happen would be enormously presumptuous, even a sign of insanity.
Je vais d’abord rapidement rappeler les thèses de mon livre qui m'ont donné le plaisir, je dois l'avouer, d'une prédiction réalisée avec une vitesse folle. Pour voir se réaliser ma prédiction sur l’effondrement du système soviétique, j'ai quand même dû attendre 15 ans. Dans le cas de la défaite militaire et économique des États-Unis, de l'Europe et de l'Ukraine face à la Russie, je n'ai eu à attendre qu’un an.
@Salinger 3 Tu veux pas parler du contenu, plutôt que du contenant? Parce que quand on a rien à dire sur un sujet, on parle souvent des gens qui en parlent.
Le déshonneur par association est l'arme préférée d'une certaine catégorie de gens qui vont de l'extrême-gauche NPA à l'extrême-centre macroniste. Dans tous les cas, c'est une arme méprisable et ridicule.
Emmanuel : une fois qu ils sont au pouvoir, on le sait qu ils vont nous chier à la gueule et nous museler. Donc je ne leur parle pas et je ferai tout pour les museler avant qu il ne soit trop tard. Les exemples sont tout autour de toi.
Aude Lancelin ...même cagette que l ancienne patronne de Marianne et son nouveau patron. C'est fou la quantité de gens qu on croyait de gauche qui vire à l extrême droite et pro régime autoritaire. Sous couvert de défense de la liberté d expression.
Museler les idées d extreme droite ça me va. Tu veux un dessin sur ce que sont les idées d extrême droite ? Ouvre la télé ou ma radio...ça en dégouline.
la bonne conscience et l'absence de remise en question sont en train de dissoudre les derniers reste de la gauche au sens historique du terme : la défense de ceux qui subissent le pouvoir, ce qui inclue la libre expression des opinions et ça n'est pas négociable. L'extrême droite, pour ce que ça veut dire (à peu près aussi bien défini que "antisémite" si tu vois ce que je veux dire), aura un boulevard face à une telle déliquescence des fondamentaux.
si certains sujets et certaines opinions n'étaient pas muselées justement, tu n'aurais pas ce dégueulis de conneries tous les jours dans les media. On a mis un couvercle sur la marmite, et maintenant on se plaint que ça va péter, donc on veut faire péter la marmite, c'est absurde, débile, et complètement déprimant.
C’est comme la musique de merde. Plus tu la passes, plus tu vas l’apprécier ou dire ça me dérange plus trop.
ouais voilà, et bien sûr, très bon exemple, on sait tous qu'il est parfaitement possible de définir sans ambiguité qu'est ce qu'une bonne musique, et qu'est ce qu'une musique de merde, c'est connu.
@Salinger 3 oui tous ceux qui ne sont pas d'accord avec toi sont des fachos et ne devraient pas avoir droit à la parole. Marrant, ça pourrait sortir tout droit d'un facho, comme remarque.
si certains sujets et certaines opinions n'étaient pas muselées justement, tu n'aurais pas ce dégueulis de conneries
Ben voyons, parlons et débattons des idées de l extrême droite de façon complaisante. Et puis analysons le génocide de Gaza et les manipulations des régimes autoritaires.
Mais parler, débattre des conséquences de l idéologie et la pratique de ces idées d extrême droite dans la société...il ne faut pas.
@Emmanuel : en effet tu ne sembles pas voir qu il y a un gros problème à partager les idées rances de l extrême droite et complaisante avec celle ci.
C'est tellement évident dans leur discours et leurs actes que je m étonne que tu ne le vois pas.
Alors que le combat contre leur idéologie est vitale pour une société inclusive, humaniste, pacifiste et solidaire et assurant un avenir viable et en pleine santé des futures générations.
Aude Lancelin, Juan Branco, Natacha Poliny, PYR..les soit disant souverainiste patriote nationaliste....ne pense qu à défendre leur classe et leur monde de privilégié et de nanti.
Une musique de merde, c'est celle qui te fait mal aux oreilles au premier abord mais qu a force de l écouter tous les jours ..ça va aller de mieux en mieux Si si. Essaie.
Une musique de merde, c’est celle qui te fait mal aux oreilles au premier abord mais qu a force de l écouter tous les jours …ça va aller de mieux en mieux Si si. Essaie.
désolé mais ce que tu dis est absolument débile, j'ai horreur de ce genre de rapport à la musique : à peu près toutes les musiques que j'écoute encore aujourd'hui et que j'écouterai sûrement toute ma vie, ce sont des musiques avec lesquelles j'ai eu du mal au début (en particulier le reggae tiens!). Le goût ça se forme, les jugements c'est jamais définitifs, surtout dans un domaine aussi subjectif. Là où j'ai encore du mal c'est le classique, je bloque, mais je désespère pas. Maintenant avant que tu brodes là dessus, je parle bien de musique, non je parle pas de haïr l'autre ou de suspendre les libertés publiques, ça je m'y habituerai pas et c'est justement pour ça que ce que tu écris me choque profondément.
Je n’ai pas connaissance que le logiciel de l extrême droite ait changé.
Ce sont il remis en question ?
"Ne me demandez pas ce que je fais de bien, regardez plutôt ce qu'ils disent de mal", ça mène nulle part. Tu veux pas être meilleur que l'ennemi supposé du coup, tu veux juste avoir l'air.
en effet tu ne sembles pas voir qu il y a un gros problème à partager les idées rances de l extrême droite et complaisante avec celle ci.
Oui je sais, si Le Pen dit "il fait beau" et que je constate que le soleil brille, je dois absolument affirmer qu'il pleut pour éviter le déshonneur par association. Dans le même ordre d'idées, les humains sont des animaux mammifères sexués, il existe exactement deux sexes et pas un de plus, puisque des gens d'extrême-droite le disent c'est donc que je suis d'extrême-droite. De même, le jour où Le Pen aura l'idée de dire "il ne faut pas sauter par la fenêtre c'est très dangereux", tu te mettras à réfléchir à comment sauter par la fenêtre en défiant la gravité.

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.
