Martha Kelly: Under capitalism, it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich – not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.

Maybe a dumb question. But is this just a matter of copying over? I have 6 hdds I've accumulated and want all the data from them on one big drive now. They are all ntfs as they are from windows, but I am going to boot from my mint drive to move the files, just so windows isnt running or accessing anything on the drives while I move the data. I'm transitioning to full linux, but I want to consolidate these drives first. I dont want to clone drives, so no dd here, just copying files from 6 different drives onto 1.
@applemao Yep, I would just mount the windows partitions on /mnt one at a time and copy the data where you want to go, cp -a /mnt/data/ /newlocation/data/
Have you looked into building a simple NAS? Storing files on single disks is generally bad since it is inefficient and can lead to data loss and theft.
It might sound like overkill but it gives you a lot of power and flexibility. Get an old desktop with at least 8gb of ram and then install a few drives. Next install TrueNAS, configure the disks, configure file share and call it a day.
@Possibly linux @applemao I wouldn't worry so much about efficiency as redundancy, better to have at least two drives and set up a RAID1 array, and given that the Linux kernel already has RAID, NFS, etc, I don't see the point in being dependent upon additional software such as TruNAS. That said yes it's just a matter of copying files to move the data over BUT a windows executable often will not work in a LInux environment even with wine, particularly if it contains what is known as a rootkit anti-cheat. You can however fairly easily setup a windows vm under linux.
@Possibly linux To be sure, but I assume since he was formerly running Windows performance wasn't an issue. No, it's obvious he is more concerned with getting the clutter factor down so he stated a preference for a single large drive, and if data isn't important or backed up some other media fine. If not, then you risk losing your data because sooner later drives fail. If performance was really the goal he'd raid a bunch of nvme drives together. This, by the way, is what I do for the system that runs this friendica node, along with an 18 core processor and 256 gb of RAM.

Youth in the Highlands of Chiapas: Between Hurt and Hope
On Saturday, April 19, the double femicide of the Tseltal sisters Valeria and Deisi Gómez Méndez, murdered with bullets and found in the community of Cruz Obispo, in the municipality of Chamula, was made public on social networks. They were 18 and 14 years old, respectively. They had been kidnapped days before in San Cristóbal de Las Casas (SCLC). Their murder adds to the eight that have occurred so far this year and the 32 reported during 2024 in the state.
Violence doesn’t end in an environment where the security strategy imposes despotic and authoritarian police force to publicize what seems to be a long campaign act of the current governor of Chiapas, Eduardo Ramirez. Has a peace pact been made? The prosecutor’s office in charge of the investigations has a past of torture and fabrication of guilty parties that raises doubts when femicides continue and human trafficking, mainly young women and children of indigenous origin, has been established in improvised brothels between SCLC and Chamula.
“Why don’t they report it?” asks a visitor. Some cases of abuse are found in the family environment, others are forced to let their daughters come and go on weekends under pressure from organized crime gangs that persist at the local level. The truth is that little is known about the power networks that sustain the abuse, but it is an open secret that coincides with the ferment of criminal governance in the region, and that along with other factors of hopelessness, affects the mental health of young people who commit self-harm and even decide to end their lives; as documented by the Network for the Rights of Children and Adolescents in Chiapas, youth suicides in indigenous communities continue to increase.
In addition, since the end of last year around twenty men have been arrested on charges of belonging to local armed groups known as “motonetos,” including a couple of alleged leaders. However, the criminal network remains active and continues to recruit young men in public schools by branding them with tattoos on the back of their heads with the initials of the armed group to which they belong. At the same time, the consumption of drugs such as crystal meth is increasing among this population. Gang membership has become part of their youth identity. It is only a matter of time before the fragile pacts of criminal governance dissolve.
But hope also flowers in this land. In recent days the Rebel y Revel Festival: Art, Rebellion and Resistance Towards the Day After” was held in the recently constructed Jacinto Canek caracol, in Tenejapa, where the constant, as in past spaces convened by the Zapatistas, is the participation of hundreds of young men and women support bases who attend, organize themselves and also take advantage of the space to meet and fall in love.
Wearing their traditional costumes with tennis shoes, a trio of young people take the microphone to sing their songs of struggle to the rhythm of hip hop; a young woman with her face covered declaims poetry in Tsotsil, others show the paintings they have made illustrating the common life of their grandparents and great-grandparents made with natural materials. These are the third and fourth generations, heirs of the Zapatista resistance, who dress up as bees with balaclavas, polar bears, stilts, dolphins, parrots and other animal species to represent the play “Nature rebels,” originally called “Bichos,” where they show the importance of the organization for the defense of Mother Earth. Among more than five hundred participants of diverse arts in the meeting, this play was positioned as one of the main ones of the event, directed by Subcomandante Moisés, was praised by playwright Luis de Tavira, who called to learn from the hope that the Zapatistas hold as an antidote against the fear that results from a violent society.
The hope of flourishing in resistance and sustaining the organizational structure that the Zapatistas call “the Common,” an old practice of the indigenous communities, is a call to defend life, to continue believing that another world is possible, one where young people can live with peace and dignity.
