The U.S. Federal Reserve just pulled off something stealthy — over four days last week, without fanfare, the Fed vacuumed up $43.6 billion in U.S. Treasurys. That’s $8.8 billion in long-dated 30-year bonds on May 8 alone, plus another $34.8 billion earlier in the week. Not exactly small change.
Quietly returning to the quantitative-easing trough isn’t standard Fed housekeeping — it’s like a bank robber returning to the scene because he forgot his car keys.

Trump is Promoting Satanic Ideas to Displace Our People in Gaza… Our People Will Remain in Their Homeland and Will Not Leave: PFLP
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) strongly condemns the racist and dangerous statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump, in which he called for the displacement of Gaza’s residents to another Middle Eastern country, and proposed turning Gaza into a “free zone” managed according to his administration’s vision—devoid of any Palestinian national representation.
These statements, which align with reports from NBC News revealing that Trump’s administration has a plan to relocate nearly one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, reflect a sick colonial mentality. It evokes the memory of past displacement, Nakba, and uprooting projects that our people have suffered since 1948. It is the same mindset historically practiced by the United States through policies of extermination and expulsion targeting the Indigenous peoples of North America—within a settler-colonial project rooted in erasing native populations and seizing land by force.
We affirm to President Trump—and to all near and far—that our people have no homeland but Palestine, no future outside it, and Gaza will never be a station for exile or liquidation.
All displacement schemes are doomed to catastrophic failure. Our people—who have sacrificed thousands of martyrs and have demonstrated steadfastness against the most brutal colonial machinery—will go nowhere but to their occupied towns and villages in historic Palestine after liberation and the expulsion of the occupation.
The call to administer Gaza outside Palestinian sovereignty and governance is a desperate attempt to impose a liquidationist project aimed at separating the Strip from the rest of the homeland and dismantling the Palestinian cause entirely. We categorically reject this and will resist it with full force.
We call upon our people, our nation, and the free people of the world to confront these schemes by all possible means, and to reaffirm that Gaza is an inseparable part of Palestine—and no one has the right to decide its fate except its own people.
To Trump and those orbiting in his sphere, we say: The arrogant “cowboy” mindset that views nations as mere subjects to be relocated or have their fates dictated will never succeed in subjugating or uprooting our people. This supremacist, racist mentality that treats the struggles of nations like real estate deals or business ventures has failed throughout history—and it will fail again against the rock of Palestinian steadfastness. Our people have never bowed, and will never bow. They will remain steadfast, clinging to their right of return, liberation, and self-determination—despite Trump, the occupation, and their collaborators.

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.
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: '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.
In simple mechanical terms, Communism is a system where the government asserts ownership to everything including your body. But that's not the real story. The real prize is your mind. They desperately want to own that. They can't, because their ideas are so shitty. This is when the mass murder begins. It's inevitable.
In the USA, electoral politics is actually just a "reality television show", a scripted narrative designed to manipulate the masses into supporting that which , to the same and logical mind, is indefensible...while at the same time, creating hopeless division among the masses and facilitating the illusion that we are free and have a choice... In reality, voting is an act of violence...Understanding this, can lead to a the realization that a lot of what you are being told is bullshit.-Gary Williams
Après son passage dans "Quelle Époque !" le samedi 10 mai, où il était invité pour partager son cri du cœur sur l'effroyable condition des Palestiniens de Gaza, le médecin Raphaël Pitti a fait l'objet d'une campagne twitto-médiatique visant à le disqualifier. Une ""déferlante de haine sur les réseaux"," comme le rapporte le Républicain Lorrain.
"Je ne comprends pas comment nous ne sommes pas tous dans la rue, pour dire que nous n’acceptons pas"
"Je ne comprends pas comment nous ne sommes pas tous dans la rue, pour dire que nous n’acceptons pas"
"Quelle Époque !", France 2, 10 mai 2025 "Vous êtes le nouveau visage de l'antisémitisme"
Dès le lendemain de l'émission de France 2, certains comptes X pro-israéliens ont dégainé les tweets pour l'attaquer. Le compte anonyme "Jugé Coupable" (qui prétend lutter contre la haine en ligne et contre l'antisémitisme en employant des méthodes de délation très contestables) a diffusé une vidéo agrémentée de l'inscription ""Balance ton antisémite". Elle est" présentée ainsi : ""Raphaël Pitti qui a pu tout au long de cet entretien "[dans Quelle Époque!] "dérouler sa propagande pro Hamas sans avoir le moindre contradicteur en face de lui. Un membre de la communauté l'a donc appelé"". La séquence au montage très "cut" filme ce coup de fil entre ce ""membre de la communauté" "et le médecin humanitaire. L'on n'y entend quasiment que les saillies de la personne qui appelle Raphaël Pitti et qui conclut par ""vous êtes le nouveau visage de l'antisémitisme"".
Auprès d'ASI, le médecin humanitaire rapporte que cette personne s'est ""fait passer pour quelqu'un du consulat de France à Jérusalem"". ""Il ne me laissait pas parler et m'agressait," détaille Pitti, "j'ai fini par lui dire que sa haine ne pourrait jamais m'atteindre"". Arrêt sur images a sollicité le service communication de Quelle époque!, pour obtenir sa réaction. Le service nous a répondu qu'il reviendrait vers nous. Nous n'avons, à cette date, pas encore reçu de réponse de leur part.

Raphaël Enthoven, a reposté deux tweets visant également le médecin humanitaire. Une publication de Jules Laurans (rédacteur en chef du média d'extrême droite Frontières) datant de juin 2024. Un contenu qui cherchait, déjà à l'époque, à décrédibiliser Pitti, affirmant (sans l'ombre d'une preuve) que le Salon des Rencontres Annuelles des Musulmans où l'ONG Mehad (dont il est administrateur et responsable de formation) avait un stand en 2017, serait en réalité le salon des frères musulmans. Contacté par "Arrêt sur images", Raphaël Enthoven a répondu :"Je regrette vivement d’avoir partagé un tweet de Jules Laurans, dont je découvre les fonctions en vous lisant. C'est la raison pour laquelle je supprime ce retweet."
Raphaël Enthoven a également retweeté une vidéo relayée par le compte pro-israélien @SlMONWEINBERG. Initialement diffusée sur le compte X du rabbin de Levallois-Perret, ladite vidéo date de la campagne des législatives 2024. Raphaël Pitti était alors candidat Place Publique sous l'étiquette NFP, dans la 5e Circonscription Levallois-Clichy. La vidéo mélange deux extraits. Dans le premier, on entend Raphaël Pitti déclarer (sans que l'on ne puisse savoir à quelle question ni à qui il répond) : ""J'ai dit que le travail, l'action était admirable, mais je n'ai jamais dit que l'homme était admirable"". D'après le texte de @SIMONWEINBERG, accompagnant le post, le médecin parle du "ministre de la santé du Hamas".
Le texte du post, le premier extrait vidéo, le second extrait vidéo.
Le texte du post, le premier extrait vidéo, le second extrait vidéo.
@SlMONWEINBERG, X, 12 mai 2025
Dans ce premier extrait, Raphaël Pitti fait, en réalité, référence à des déclarations qu'il a tenues sur Sud Radio, quelques mois plus tôt. Dans cette interview datée du 9 février 2024, le médecin - qui revenait tout juste de Gaza - délivrait au micro de Jean-Jacques Bourdin un récit glaçant de la situation sur place. À propos du ministre gazaoui, il évoquait ""un homme admirable pour le travail qu'il est en train de faire par rapport à cette situation de confusion, de chaos, qui essaie quand même de maintenir un système de santé, ce qui est extrêmement compliqué"". Auprès d'ASI, Pitti détaille davantage : ""Il essayait d'organiser les choses pour la population dans une situation aléatoire, ""qui changeait constamment, alors qu'il aurait très bien pu fuir avec sa famille"". Le médecin, spécialisé en médecine de guerre, rappelle que ""toutes les ONG sur place étaient obligées de passer par le ministre de la santé qui leur attribuait les endroits en fonction des besoins"".
Le second extrait est tiré d'une vidéo que l'on peut retrouver sur la chaîne Youtube de l'AFPS - Association France Palestine Solidarité. Elle a été tournée lors de l'intervention de Raphaël Pitti ""à l'Ecole Normale Supérieure, le 17 janvier dernier, à l'occasion de leur Séminaire palestinien"" nous explique-t-il. Il s'y exprime à un micro : ""Ça n'a pas plu à la communauté juive française que je puisse dire que j'ai rencontré un homme admirable, oui, je le dis, c'était un pédiatre"" puis ""bien évidemment il appartenait au gouvernement du Hamas, mais il était ministre de la santé"". La séquence est utilisée pour prouver que le médecin se serait contredit et aurait ""menti"", écrit @SlMONWEINBERG.
"Le "compte partagé par Raphaël Enthoven prétend faire du "#FactCheking" et accuse Pitti de relayer" "des chiffres invérifiables et accusant Israël de génocide sur les plateaux de télévision français, sans aucune vérification indépendante des faits ni contradiction des journalistes l'interviewant". "Il ne précise pas" "que le médecin est avant tout un homme de terrain, qu'il est allé par deux fois à Gaza depuis 18 mois et que son ONG HuSoMe a créé six centres de santé à Gaza, avec lesquels il est en contact quotidiennement, nous dit-il. Questionné sur ce retweet par ASI, Raphaël Enthoven maintient deux reproches envers Pitti. D'abord, "S'interdire de dire du mal du Hamas sous le prétexte qu'il doit se rendre sur place. Ce qui est une façon de reconnaître la dangerosité de l'organisation terroriste tout en faisant profession de langue de bois". Il déplore également une "emphase obscène". Pour lui, "présenter comme «admirable» le «ministre de la santé du Hamas»" est "monstrueux". "Un porte-parole du Hamas"
Lundi, c'était au tour de la Bollosphère d'ajouter sa pierre à l'édifice de cette campagne de disqualification. """"Quelle époque! et Gaza : Présenté comme «humanitaire», le Dr Raphaël Pitti est en réalité un militant politique du Front Populaire proche de Raphaël Glucksmann, mari de Léa Salamé"" titrait le site de Jean-Marc Morandini (en confondant le Front populaire et le" Nouveau Front Populaire"). Certes, il eut été préférable que Léa Salamé fasse mention des engagements politiques de Pitti et de sa qualité d'élu (il est conseiller municipal de Metz). Reste que c'est bien en tant que médecin humanitaire qu'il témoigne: ""quand j'affirme quelque chose, je dis ce qui est, je témoigne, c'est une obligation éthique sur le plan de l'action humanitaire"" plaide-t-il auprès d'ASI.
Pascal Praud qualifie également le médecin de """"porte-parole du Hamas"" qui s'exprime ""sans contradiction sur une antenne de la télévision publique". "Signe, pour lui, du" """parti pris idéologique de l'espace médiatique qui relaie la parole de l'extrême gauche avec indulgence" "Pour CNews, Place Publique, c'est l'extrême gauche. Le service communication de la chaîne n'a pas répondu aux questions transmises par "Arrêt sur images" sur le sujet.

X, Cnews, 12 mai 2025
L'Heure des Pros, a également diffusé une vidéo de Frank Tapiro (toutologue communiquant dont ASI vous parle régulièrement) dans laquelle il développe 2 minutes durant sa charge anti-Pitti. Le médecin est là encore désigné comme ""porte-parole du Hamas"", à grand renfort de slogans (""vous avez prêté le serment d'"Hippocrate" mais vous n'êtes en fait qu'un hypocrite"" ; """"vous ne serez plus jamais la Pythie humanitaire puisqu'on vous a démasqué""). Le communiquant y instrumentalise et détourne, lui aussi, les propos (qualifiés d'""ignobles"") du médecin concernant le ministre de la santé à Gaza. Il cite également une autre déclaration de Raphaël Pitti, toujours tirée de Sud Radio, dans laquelle il aurait dit, selon Tapiro, que ""le Hamas était un mouvement de résistant"""." Raphaël Pitti répondait en réalité à la question de Jean-Jacques Bourdin ("""est-ce qu'Israël détruit Gaza sans détruire le Hamas ?")"."""""Le Hamas est là tout le temps, il continue à tirer, ""la résistance du Hamas est toujours présente"" avait répondu l'humanitaire avant de s'expliquer sur l'emploi du terme ""résistance"" : ""dans cette situation-là, par rapport à ce qui est en train de se passer, ""par rapport à cette population fragilisée, le Hamas leur donne le sentiment de se battre dans l'honneur"".
"Ce porte-parole du Hamas ne doit plus être la Pythie humanitaire des plateaux TV" "Ce porte-parole du Hamas ne doit plus être la Pythie humanitaire des plateaux TV"
Frank Tapiro, X, 11 mai 2025
""V""ous êtes pieds et poings liés par le Hamas au lieu d'être juste dans votre métier, de continuer à sauver des victimes civiles"" assène Tapiro, oubliant certainement que Pitti est allé à deux reprises soigner des civils à Gaza. Le médecin précise d'ailleurs à ASI que depuis son dernier voyage sur place en mai 2024, ses trois demandes d'y retourner ont été refusées par Israël. "Je ne me tairai pas"
Du cofondateur de Franc-Tireur, en passant par Frontières et les comptes pro-israéliens qui défendent les massacres en cours à Gaza, jusqu'à CNews, c'est une nouvelle tentative médiatique pour disqualifier une voix dénonçant le génocide à Gaza. La violence de la charge peut-elle s'expliquer par la présence médiatique accrue du médecin ces derniers jours (C Ce Soir, Loopsider, Ici, ex France Bleu) ? ""C""'est évident !, "répond le médecin à ASI," ""ils veulent faire pression pour que ma parole ne soit pas écoutée". "Il ajoute que pendant ""plus de dix ans"", il a rapporté ""de la même façon"" ce qu'il voyait, sur le terrain en Syrie et que jamais cela n'a suscité de commentaires suspicieux et accusatoires similaires.
Aux accusations qui le visent, l'homme ne veut pas répondre : ""je n'ai pas à me justifier, qu'ils prouvent l'inverse de ce que je dis à propos de la population à Gaza"". Concernant le cyberharcèlement dont il est victime, il assure ne pas se laisser atteindre. ""J'ai ma conscience tranquille"" assène celui qui s'est fixé pour objectif de faire bouger la France. ""Je ne me tairai pas, je continuerai parce que nous sommes arrivés à un point extrêmement critique du non respect du droit international"".
Alors que Human Rights Watch vient d'affirmer que ""Le nouveau plan israélien se rapproche de l'extermination"", que Le Conseil de l'Europe dénonce ""une famine délibérée"" dans la bande de Gaza, et que le ministère de la Santé à Gaza vient d'annoncer plus de 250 personnes tuées en l'espace de 2 jours, le médecin en colère estime qu'il ne suffit plus de ""dire que c'est honteux et insupportable" "mais qu'""il est temps d'agir"." Pour lui, c'est l'heure de la ""désobéissance civile"".
Alors qu'il multiplie les interviews pour crier sa colère face au sort des Gazaouis massacrés par Israël et pour appeler à l'action citoyenne et politique, le médecin humanitaire Raphaël Pitti fait l'objet d'attaques l'accusant, entre autres, d'être …

Strength and robustness gradually returning— sprinting a short distance feels like I'm giving my engine a little rev, rather than a deadly overload. Still haven't bothered timing anything because I'm still rebuilding connective tissues more than anything.
It took months to do this the first time, incidentally. I had been sedentary for years, then started running one day, without any preparation or anything, and fractured a bunch of bones in my feet, along with other problems that are acting up again now.
Oh well; the immediate results might not be what you want, but it's better to keep putting one foot in front of the other than to be a little pissbaby justifying your weakness with "God just hates me, tee hee, that's why I'm uniquely excusable as a failure."

man you have to ease into running slowly, especially after not doing it for a long time, as you found out. i have made this mistake before with my knees. one thing i've found is that i have to land on my toes to soften the impact (jogging not sprinting) which makes it bearable on my knees. if i start clopping down on my heels, that causes big knee probs
@meowski Yeah, you have to find the form that works for you. For me, landing on my toes wrecks my ACL. Fortunately, I still have muscle memory from when I was running regularly, and not much loss of mobility.
I used to have terrible knee problems, particularly around that time when I broke my feet. Took a long time walking it off, but what seemed to make the greatest difference was running uphill. It's more challenging than flat running, but also lower impact. After a month or so of that, I was very surprised to find that I could suddenly run flat without any problems.
I reckon I have minimal knee problems now because I've done a Tai Chi warmup every day for many years. My cardio is shit, but my joints are always well-oiled. youtu.be/R3QM9hB1pPg

i used to do this trail run regularly around a park and in the woods that had a steep hill. that would kick my butt. lately i stopped running, still do stretches every day no matter what, but i've been doing a lot of shop work which does work out my legs some. nowhere near as much as running though.
after i move onto the property there will be a lot of walking up and down hills and around the woods which is good for legs too. one knee is currently acting up so i need to keep it moving but not push it too hard until it cools down a bit

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.

Hey I'm new to Linux and mint seems like the easiest to switch over to coming from windows. I have had trouble with pairing Bluetooth PS4 controllers and emulating them as xinput. I used ds4drv but that's a little outdated now. Also I noticed that catchyos just works after pairing it on my other PC. So I spent a while trying to get mint to work without the need of ds4drv, it kept pairing as a wireless controller that wasn't detected as an actual controller through steam or anything else.... I tracked that down to an issue with the Bluetooth manager and maybe missing udev rules so now I can connect using a different manager and it comes up as a PS4 controller....but now I think I need ds4drv to emulate it as xinput so I've came full circle.
My question is do I need ds4drv to be using a Sony controller as xinput and also how does catchyos do it without ds4drv? And should I just screw Linux mint and switch to Catchyos?
I thought the drivers were already merged into the kernel as hid-sony or hid-playstation?
Have you tried removing ds4drv and just trying to connect the pad via USB? If that works, you can try pairing via Bluetooth.
It could be your Mint kernel is old and doesn’t have the drivers. I’m on Arch so I’ve had no issues and the pads just work and Steam handles them with no issues.
God our Father, you redeem us and make us your children in Christ. Look upon us, give us true freedom and bring us to the inheritance you promised. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
@CyrilBrulebois just announced the first release candidate of the Debian Installer for Debian 13 "Trixie". 🥳 lists.debian.org/debian-devel-… Thanks to @vagrantc it includes flash-kernel support for the @mntmn MNT Reform 2 with RCORE RK3588 Module. You still need a kernel with the RK3588 patch stack by @collabora but at least you don't need to patch flash-kernel anymore. 😀
