June 14, 2025 @ 07:41 Good morning, family & friends❣️ I've been up for a couple of hours this morning, I got quite a bit of sleep yesterday, and fell asleep at a decent hour last night (plus my ribs hurt more when I'm laying down) and I really wanted coffee!

It is sunny and gorgeous outside, going to be a mild 70°F today, and I am planning to get outside and do some gardening if my dirt is ready! Bill made up a very rich soil using a combination of goodies so if it isn't hot he said I can start planting. My baby plants need to be replanted, I have them in the house now since they have no protection from the elements. If I'm able to get that done I will take photos or video or something. But either way I want to be outside today. Other than that, I don't know, but I'm ready to get out and do something so I will see you later...have a great day❣️✝️🎹🐕‍🦺🦜🙌🍅🥩🌿🤕🚌❤️

What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?


Why software do you use in your day-to-day computing which might not be well-known?

For me, there are ~~two~~ three things for personal information management:

  • for shopping receipts, notes and such, I write them down using vim on a small Gemini PDA with a keyboard. I transfer them via scp to a Raspberry Pi home server on from there to my main PC. Because it runs on SailFish OS, it also runs calendar (via CalDav) and mail nicely - and without any FAANG server.
  • for things like manuals and stuff that is needed every few months ("what was just the number of our gas meter?" "what is the process to clean the dishwasher?") , I have a Gollum Wikirunning on Laptop and home server. This is a very simple web wiki which supports several markup languages (like Markdown, MediaWiki, reStructuredText, and Creole), and stores them via git. For me, it is perfect to organize personal information around the home.
  • for work, I use Zim wiki. It is very nice for collecting and organizing snippets of information.
  • oh, and I love Inkscape(a powerful vector drawing program), Xournal (a program you can write with a tablet on and annotate PDFs), and Shotwell (a simple photo manager). The great thing about Shotwell is that it supports nicely to filter your photos by quality - and doing that persistently makes you a better photographer.

It's software for budgeting. You can run it entirely local, or set it up as a server. It stores everything in an SQLite dB, let's you import and export CSV files, and it gives you great options for querying and seeing reports on your financial records.

I've got a handful of accounts, so I set up a small python utility to parse the CSVs my banks give me to something actually sensible and readable for Actual. I do that once a month, add a reconciliation entry here and there, and it's all kept on sync very well.

I have one morbid report titled "money pissed down the landlord drain", and it's far higher than I'd like to be. But it's got close to every penny I've ever spent on that bullshit in one place.

While woman-and-child killer Netanyahu is desecrating this slogan, he is arming #ISIS-linked militia in #Gaza.

Let's remember how the #YPJ defended #Kobani from ISIS itself. The slogan belongs to them

I’ve been receiving numerous similar messages from family and friends. I don’t believe that being victims of indiscriminate bombing themselves will make Israelis acknowledge that #IDF’s ongoing revenge war against the civilian population of #Gaza, since October 2023, is far more severe, while equally wrong. With more than 82% of Israelis supporting expulsion, and about 50% justifying the killing of all civilians (over 55,000 at least so far) geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/0… it will only further fuel the cycle of bloodthirsty revenge.

"Otorite ve yasanın en saçma savunması, suçu azaltmaya hizmet ettikleridir. Devletin kendisi en büyük suçlu olmasına rağmen yazılı ve doğal tüm yasaları çiğneyerek, vergiler yoluyla hirsızlik yaparak, savaş ve idam yoluyla öldürerek Suça karşı mücadelede tamamen çıkmaza girmiştir. Kendi yarattığıi bu korkunç belayı yok etmekte ya da en azindan azaltmakta bütüyle başarısız olmuştur."

Controles policiales mientras buscamos nuevos caminos para la marcha a Gaza

ellokal.org/controles-policial…

El gobierno egipcio se sigue desplegando para impedir la marcha a Gaza. Ayer nos llegaban noticias de deportaciones de compañeras en los aeropuertos y los hoteles, pero muchas han podido llegar a Egipto. Hoy se han tenido que replantear los planes para conseguir salir del Cairo en grupos pequeños y llegar al desierto.

Las compañeras del barrio junto con cientos de personas han sido paradas en un peaje a 100km del Cairo, donde les han retirado los pasaportes por más de una hora. Ahora siguen organizándose para los próximos pasos.

Salud.

#MarchToGaza

When UK Prime Minister yet again parrots the nonsense that Israel has the right to defend itself, why is It always about Israel's right to defend itself but never other countries attacked by Israel? Where is the outrage about Israeli attacks on Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria? Do these people not have the same right to defend themselves? I am disgusted by the UK Government. Sir Keir Starmer doesn't speak for me.
Sanction Israel now.
#SanctionIsrael
in reply to Indy Richard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I say sanction Israel but in this UK we'll do the exact opposite, we'll keep selling arms to Israel, providing them with intelligence and training their troops. I feel really angry about this but at same time I feel so powerless. As a Scot who believes in socialism and the rights of people all around the World to live in peace with access to food and water and healthcare, I feel like a minority within a minority. One thing for certain. I won't stop speaking out.

If no lives were lost, if there was no fear of a nuclear accident, if the environment was not harmed, it would be a ridiculous game of ping pong.

"What the Iranian regime has felt so far is nothing compared to what it will see in the coming days," - Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister.

"If the Zionist entity dares to repeat its aggression, it will face a harsher and stronger response from our armed forces," - Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Iran.

Who the fuck believes the Brits?

"The UK was not officially informed of the Israeli attack on Iran before it occurred and did not provide any support for the operation.
Israel no longer considers Britain a reliable partner after sanctions were imposed on two Israeli ministers," - The Times


in reply to Fou

1) Today, during a phone call, Trump told Putin that US Envoy Witkoff is ready to continue negotiations with Iran.

2) Axios reports that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi informed his counterparts that Tehran would be prepared to resume negotiations but only after responding to Israel’s military attacks. The message came as part of ongoing backchannel communications.

in reply to Fou

WTF, do the Iraqis believe that a letter to US is enough to put pressure to US and israel?????

Iraq has formally held Washington responsible for Israeli violations of Iraqi airspace, citing its obligations under the Joint Framework Agreement. According to an Iraqi government source speaking to the Iraqi News Agency, a strongly worded letter was sent to the US demanding it prevent Israeli aircraft from entering Iraqi skies.

Atheistic Communism in the hearts and minds of the people is the system of enemies of God. It has crossed national boundaries and is in many nations, though Russia was known for it after the Christian czar Nicholas and his beautiful family were murdered by the godless system coming to fruition. Russia's government is pro-Christian now and churches are protected. At 31:18 of Part 2, he goes over Ezekiel 35 regarding the Communist part of Russia.

I want to make a White Russian tonight. But along with the vodka and Kahlúa, I want to add some Baileys. I usually use vanilla soy, instead of milk, because I like the taste and texture.

I started adding Baileys during the cold, dark winter months, which was a lovely evening drink. During summers, I usually go for a Tequila Sunrise, but today I'm in the mood for that softer, non-acidic feel.

EDIT: Just saw your description text, OP. Never heard of a Pas de Loupe before, but that sounds interesting. Is that Mezcal, Cynar, ancho, honey syrup and lemon juice?

Also, happy cake day!

What should I expect from someone who has just been released from prison?


My older brother is being released on parole at the end of this month after serving 11 years and 3 months of a 15-year sentence. I’m 19 now, so I was very young when he went to prison and don’t have many memories of him. He’ll be living with our parents and me after his release, and to be honest, I’m feeling a bit anxious about it.
in reply to idyllic

I know others will mention some of the personal things, so I'll instead focus on ways to help him try to reintegrate with everyday life and society socially.

You could start to try to help with some things he will interact with daily. The chances of him knowing about basically anything electronic you use now on a daily basis are slim. This is one of the biggest daily interactions that many former inmates have trouble with and betting up to speed on in modern society.

For some perspective, 11 years ago was 2014, and the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. All the advancements since then will be new. LTE actually being widespread and usable, 5G even being a thing at all.

An offshoot of those are things like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, etc. which are massive social media hubs now, but didn't exist then. Heck, Vine was technically still around for a couple years after he went in. Educating about changes to media consumption and social media use can help with integration back into society, and suggesting some recent things to catch up on can provide recent and relevant topics of conversation for daily life.
