I can't believe that we have now a racist violent colonial entity that openly and publicly brags about:

- Non-stop assassinations
- Abductions
- Land grabs
- Sabotage
- Terrorism
- Toppling of regimes
- Endless bombardment of countries
- Threats about burning/destruction of cities
- Committing genocide and ethnic cleansing

All while claiming victimhood every time someone confronts them, and the rest of the world just pretends like nothing happened.

Fuck #Israel

Hey hey HEY!

I just updated the official Writers With Drinks site with info on *two* upcoming shows:

Yes, it looks like a site I hand-coded in 2003. Shut up!

But please come to these shows and tell all yr friends! ❤

Die #Linke hat angekündigt, Demos gegen den Krieg in #Palästina mitzuorganisieren und die Kommentare offenbaren, dass viele Leute nicht verstehen, wie Gruppen funktionieren. Es gibt in ihnen immer mehrere Strömungen und wenn Gruppen sich verändern, liegt das daran, dass in ihnen Leute sind, die Veränderungen aktiv anstreben. Offensichtlich hat sich nun die palästina-solidarische Strömung [...]

[...] durchgesetzt.

Ich wünschte auch, dass wäre eher passiert. Es ist aber sehr unsinnig, die Leute, die jetzt die gewünschte Veränderung erfolgreich erkämpft haben, anzumotzen und denen Vorwürfe zu machen.

Man werfe ein Blick darauf, welche Parteimitglieder den jetzigen Kurs kritisieren und die ganze Zeit blockierten. Die sind der richtige Adressat für Kritik und Frust. #Linke

Ich war super frustriert von der Haltung der Linken in Gaza.
Ich denke jetzt kommen da mehrere Sachen zusammen: Die Verschlimmerung der Lage, die Flut der grauenvollen Bilder und Berichte, die man Anfangs ausblenden konnte, die Auseinandersetzung mit und die Austritte von Leuten, die ihrem Rassismus hinter fanatischer Israelverblendung versteckten, ein Wandel in der Mitgliederstruktur (mehr, jünger, migrantischer) und das Unverständnis bei Linken weltweit über die deutsche Linke.

The US is no longer the technological leader of the world. While our scientists are screwing around with boner pills and fake AI girlfriends, Chinese scientists are building thorium reactors and EVs that charge in under one minute.

Seriously, wtf are we doing?

Every time Israel is being bombed or facing significant violence at home, friends from all over the Arab world check in on me and my family in Tel Aviv. It happened on Oct 7th, and it's happening now.

These dreadful times continue to show that it truly, truly has nothing to do with Jews vs Arabs, or even Israelis vs Palestinians. It's about who is standing for justice for all and who persists in seeing the other as human.

I figured out the problem with YT videos not playing on other sites. Somehow YT would recognize me when I'd watch videos on YT, but it didn't when I was on other sites (you have to be logged in to see them, or surf as a guest account). I changed my YT password and that fixed the issue. Hope that helps.

there was some talk of china also printing fake ballots in the stolen 2020 election. this is interesting justthenews.com/accountability…

They said it was self-indulgent spending of millions of dollars “for Trump’s birthday party.” If they had watched the parade they would have seen the value of the event and that it was totally focused on the Army. Here are five reasons the parade was money well spent.

It is hard to believe that the founders ... intended that district court judges would make policy determinations about whether conditions are sufficient to merit the president availing himself of a power delegated to him.

He stated, “The facts speak for themselves,” and emphasized the need for governments to recognize the gravity of the situation in Gaza. He called on all influential parties to apply maximum pressure on both Israel and Hamas to stop the ongoing crisis.

Addressing the 47-member body, he said Israel’s tactics are bringing “horrifying, unconscionable suffering” to Palestinians in Gaza.

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.

NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.


If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/

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.

E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.

Security
Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.

Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.

Trump ordered the immediate evacuation of Tehran, a clear threat to around 10 million residents.

Although the US has provided Israel with weapons and military aid, it did not declare its direct participation in the war. However, this evacuation threat, a crime against humanity, showcases the close collaboration between the US and Israel.

1. #Iran did nothing to justify #Israel's unprovoked #WarCrimes against it.

2. Iran spends only 8 billion dollars on its #military, while the #US and Israel spend a combined 1 trillion on theirs. Israel has killed ten times as many Iranians as there have been Israeli #deaths, and Israel is using those Israeli deaths to whip up #islamophobic, #militaristic fervor.

in reply to AstroMancer5G (she/her)

5. Israel intentionally attacked Iran also to reactivate its people's lifetime #indoctrination into a #VictimhoodComplex and anti-Muslim, anti-Iranian, and anti-gentile #hate. The resulting surge of #patriotism and #militarism will bolster both the #SettlerColony itself and its current #regime. #Solidarity from the #West will be used to feed this. #Reject narratives of solidarity with Israeli #victimhood early and consistently. Iran and Gaza are the real #victims, and Israel is the #aggressor.
in reply to AstroMancer5G (she/her)

6. This is not the time to #criticize the #government of Iran. Those criticisms will be weaponized by #Zionism to justify its attacks as somehow #feminist and supportive of #dissidents in Iran or the #diaspora. The opposition is against Western/Israeli intervention, too. Western-backed regime change has never led to #peace and democracy, instead it leads to fascist, reactionary, authoritarian regimes. The capitalists invested in the #WarMachine are making tons of money, until we end #capitalism.

Lets start a civil war in here!


So, I'm not that understanding of linux. But I guess I can't call myself "new" anymore. I've been using linux since December. Although to be fair, I'm barely ever home. "Using" linux at this point mostly consists of opening firefox, and watching youtube.

I know "sudo" is "super user" "apt" is some kind of repository command, and then you type "install (program)"

But I've really taken to flatpack. I hate hate HATE the terminal. All I ever do is screw things up in there. I don't know what I'm doing. I just follow commands. "Just copy/paste this exact set of text". And then I have an error.

It's kind of like knowing 4x4=16. And all you do is memorize that line, as opposed to knowing that 4x4 is the same as 4+4+4+4. And knowing what 4 is. If you memorized 4x4=16, but get presented with 4x4-2, and you don't understand the core concept of numbers, you wouldn't know how to adjust 16 to 14, and know WHY it's 14. I'm just copy/pasting someone elses instructions.

sudo apt get firefox && -z, -r, -☆, -$, randop, redo, up.


That's probably complete jibberish in terminal, but it helps you (the experienced linux user) understand how terminal feels/looks to me. If I had a problem, and troubleshooting told me to copy/paste that to solve my problem, I would. That to me looks as legitimate as any other jibberish that would actually work.

Ok. Rant aside, lets start a civil war in here! I've been using ZorinOS, and I kind of like it. HOWEVER, I did spend a considerable amount of time tweaking it. It's finally how I want it, so I'm not messing with it. So I've never experienced KDE. I've only experienced GNOME. And quite honestly I don't know what that means. I know it has to do with the desktop environment.....but I don't know what would be different if I used another desktop environment.

But that brings me to a question I was told you just can't ask the linux community without blood being shed.

What's better? KDE? Or GNOME?
