Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.

Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.

Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.

Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.

Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.

Nili Naouri la Roumaine dont le visage est aussi long qu’un horizon désertique nous parle de droit comme on cite le cadastre... version Bible.

Imaginez un monde où chacun débarque avec son livre sacré pour déclarer :
Ici, c’est chez moi, mon ancêtre a vécu ici… et là… et là aussi !

Abraham ? Figure biblique.
Isaac ? Biblique.
Jacob ? Biblique.
Donc forcément : terrain privé, propriété ancestrale.

Et tant qu’on y est :
Moïse a ouvert la mer en deux la mer nous appartient.
Abraham a marché de la Mésopotamie à Canaan tout le trajet est à nous.
Salomon a eu 1000 femmes donc tous les pays d’origine de ses belles-mères sont à nous aussi.

Les Hébreux selon la bible étaient esclaves en Égypte, donc l’Égypte aussi, c’est à nous.

À ce rythme-là, il ne manque plus qu’un psaume pour réclamer la Lune.

Mes amis, il est temps d’élever le niveau.
À chaque débat avec les sionistes, on nous ressort le même argument usé : Les musulmans n’étaient pas là avant, c’étaient les chrétiens et les juifs.

Cet argument démontre une incompréhension totale de l’histoire.
Il repose sur une confusion majeure entre religion et ethnie, comme si l’islam était une origine ou une race. Or, l’islam est une foi, et tout peuple peut l’adopter sans cesser d’appartenir à son territoire d’origine.
Quand les Arabes sont arrivés en Palestine, ils n’ont pas effacé la population existante.
Ils ont fait ce que tous les empires faisaient à l’époque : administrer la région.
Et avec le temps, comme cela s’est vu dans toutes les civilisations, la population locale composée de juifs, de chrétiens, de communautés diverses a adopté la langue et la religion du pouvoir en place. Cela ne les a pas déracinés pour autant.
Dire que les musulmans ne sont pas natifs revient à dire que les premiers chrétiens de Palestine, qui étaient pourtant juifs ou hébreux d’origine, ont cessé d’être autochtones parce qu’ils ont suivi Jésus.
C’est absurde.

Aujourd’hui, les Palestiniens, qu’ils soient musulmans, juifs ou chrétiens, partagent le même patrimoine génétique. Les études ADN le montrent clairement : ils descendent tous des anciens habitants de la région, notamment des Cananéens.
Le fait que la majorité parle aujourd’hui arabe ne signifie pas qu’ils sont des étrangers.
La langue ne fait pas l’origine d’un peuple, pas plus que la religion.
L’arabisation de la région est un processus historique naturel, comme la latinisation de la Gaule ou la francisation des Bretons.

Les Palestiniens sont donc un même peuple, avec des croyances différentes.
Et c’est justement cela qui fait la richesse et la continuité de cette terre.
L’islam n’est pas une ethnie.
La Palestine n’est pas un terrain biblique à distribuer selon les croyances.
Et la légitimité d’un peuple ne se mesure pas au calendrier d’apparition d’une religion, mais à sa présence continue sur la terre.

Connaître l’histoire, c’est mettre fin aux mythes idéologiques.

Les Philistins (Palestiniens) sont mentionnés dans la bible aussi, et même si leur descendants d'aujourd'hui sont de sangs mêlés, les Juifs et Israëliens le sont peut être plus encore (sangs mêlés), de par la part majeure d'Ashkénazes, mais aussi parce que c'est l'essence même de l'Universalisme, le nomadisme (des Origines à la Diaspora (qui en plus, de fait, vient du grec spiro, qui veut dire "je sème" (ce qui pour des sémites (arabes et juifs))).

“Si je continue plus longtemps j’y resterai”, Anthony, ouvrier du BTP


#politique #travail #exploitation

Le secteur du BTP (bâtiments et travaux publics) est celui où se produit le plus d’accidents du travail mortel. Rien qu’en 2023, 149 travailleurs du BTP sont morts à cause de leur travail. Le 13 mai dernier, trois maçons mourraient sur un chantier à la suite de l’effondrement d’un mur. Les petites entreprises, les plus nombreuses dans le BTP, secteur où la sous-traitance est le modèle économique dominant, sont particulièrement concernées par les problèmes de sécurité qui mènent à ces accidents. C’est ce que nous a raconté Anthony, 21 ans, qui est déjà très conscient des risques qui affectent son quotidien. Après avoir visionné certaines de nos vidéos où l’on parle de la souffrance au travail, il nous a contactés et nous avons discuté.

And then you stumble upon genocidal assholes like this.

Apparently mastodon.social will censor posts and accounts that oppose genocide but will allow incitement of violence against a peace activist delivering humanitarian aid to a starving people in the middle of a genocide (what’s a red cross on top of a person if not a call for their murder?)

Some Germans clearly haven’t quenched their thirst for genocide yet.

PS. Equating criticism of genocide with antisemitism is, itself, the greatest antisemitism as it is equivalent to stating that all Jews are pro genocide, which is, of course, false.

"It says a lot about their priorities that in the face of #genocide and systematic starvation of 2M people lawmakers, whose responsibility should be to protect the people, rather than ending their complicity to genocide and the mass slaughter of civilians are focusing on mocking people who are at least trying to do their bit." 👏

'The IDF decided that the "Madleen," which is sailing to Gaza and carrying 12 pro-Palestinian activists, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, will not be allowed to approach or dock in the Gaza Strip, KAN reported on Wednesday'

On the other hand, it is not Israel's territorial water and neither IDF nor any other State of Israel entity has any right under any applicable definition to decide that.
That is like... the whole point of those heroes of humanity sailing to break the illegal siege imposed for the purpose of using starvation against the civilian populace as a method of warfare, which is a textbook definition war crime and likely crimes against humanity, part of the genocidal warfare.

My bank invalidated my credit card because someone was trying to charge my card. So far so good, and I'm happy that I didn't lose money to a card fraud. But, ..., in Finland receiving a new card takes 10 to 14 days because they send it via snail mail without tracker. So what's the issue with that? Simple, I can't use ATM, buy food, buy bus ticket, use PayPal, or any online service that uses my credit card. Also, all my online payments are getting bounced (e.g., domain renewals, donations).

So I just called the bank and told them if there is a way I can get a virtual card with fix value so that I can pay my bills. They said no. I asked why you sent it via snail mail when you invalidated both my Debit and Credit card. The answer was "funny": that's how we do it.

This is by far the largest bank in #Finland and it never occurred to them that express mail exists!! Yeah, happiest county on earth for 7th year in a row! I'm very happy indeed if you can't tell. 😐

Just to clarify, I had to "fill" a feedback form over the phone along with the bank operator to suggest usage of express mail! The phone call took 42 minutes and 16 seconds. 20+ minutes waiting behind the queue, and the rest for two questions and filling feedback form! So efficient! Sometimes I wonder why I should spend so much time optimizing my code when banks who literally deal with money are generally extremely wasteful.

Porcelain or Ceramic Tiles: Finding the Best Fit for Your Project


 Neither porcelain nor ceramic is “better”—it’s about what your project demands. Consider durability, moisture exposure, design, and budget. A quick conversation with a tiles supplier can ensure you pick a tile that looks fantastic and performs for years.

Picking between porcelain and ceramic tiles can be a puzzle. They often look alike, but their performance varies once installed. Choosing wisely now can prevent costly fixes later. So, what sets them apart? Where do they work best? And how do you make the right call?

What Makes Them Different?


Both porcelain and ceramic tiles are crafted from clay, fired in a kiln, and often glazed for a sleek look. But their construction makes all the difference.

Porcelain tiles are denser, fired at higher temperatures, and absorb minimal water, making them tougher and more moisture-resistant. Ceramic tiles are less dense, more porous, and easier to work with during installation.

These traits shape where each tile is most effective.

Porcelain: Tough and Weather-Ready


Porcelain is a standout for demanding spaces. Its dense composition makes it perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchen floors, commercial lobbies, or entryways. It resists wear, stains, and scratches with ease.

Its low water absorption makes it ideal for wet environments—shower stalls, outdoor porches, or mudrooms. Porcelain can handle moisture and temperature swings without cracking.

The trade-off? Porcelain is harder to cut and install, requiring specialized tools and often more time, which can raise costs or challenge DIYers.

Ceramic: Affordable and Style-Driven


Ceramic tiles shine in less intense settings. They’re lighter, easier to cut, and typically more affordable, making them great for DIY projects or budget renovations.

Ceramic feature wall tiles, for instance, are perfect for adding flair to spaces like bathroom walls or kitchen backsplashes. These areas don’t face heavy wear, and ceramic’s wide range of designs—colors, textures, and patterns—makes it a design favorite.

Ceramic’s porosity makes it less suited for wet or outdoor spaces, but it’s ideal for dry, decorative applications.

Where Each Works Best


Your decision hinges on the space and its demands. Here’s a clear breakdown:

Opt for porcelain when:
- Tiling wet areas (bathrooms, outdoor patios, laundry areas)
- Facing high-traffic zones (hallways, retail spaces)
- Seeking long-lasting, low-maintenance surfaces

Choose ceramic when:
- Tiling walls or low-traffic areas (accent walls, backsplashes)
- Handling DIY projects needing easy-to-cut materials
- Prioritizing design variety on a budget

A trusted tiles supplier will ask about your project’s specifics—location, usage, and installation plans—to recommend the best fit.

Water Resistance and Longevity


Porcelain’s low water absorption (under 0.5%) makes it a top pick for wet or outdoor spaces. It resists moisture-related issues like cracking or mold, even in harsh climates.

Ceramic tiles, being more absorbent, are better for dry areas like interior walls or low-traffic floors. Using them in wet zones risks damage over time.

A tiles supplier can guide you to avoid errors, like using ceramic where porcelain’s resilience is needed.
Cost and Installation

Ceramic tiles are generally cheaper to buy and install. Their softer material simplifies cutting, keeping labor costs down and suiting DIYers.

Porcelain is pricier and requires specialized tools for cutting, often increasing installation costs. But its durability can save money by reducing future repairs.

A ceramic tiles supplier Singapore can help you weigh these factors to match your budget and goals.

Design and Visual Appeal


Ceramic tiles often lead in design options, offering bold colors, intricate patterns, and textured finishes at a lower price. They’re perfect for creative projects like decorative walls or vibrant backsplashes.

Porcelain tiles have advanced, with designs mimicking natural materials like marble or oak. Still, ceramic typically offers more affordable style variety.

Making the Decision


Choose porcelain for wet, high-traffic, or outdoor areas where durability and water resistance are key. Opt for ceramic for decorative, low-traffic, or budget-driven projects where style and ease matter most.

Uncertain? A tiles supplier can clarify your options. Share your project’s specifics, and they’ll point you to the tile that fits your needs.

Closing Thought


Neither porcelain nor ceramic is “better”—it’s about what your project demands. Consider durability, moisture exposure, design, and budget. A quick conversation with a tiles supplier can ensure you pick a tile that looks fantastic and performs for years.
