#IsraelIranWar Day 7
"We have received clear signals from Iran confirming its willingness to negotiate, provided there is a ceasefire," - France's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Damage
The Institute estimates the damage from Iran’s missile strike on its main laboratory at 2 billion shekels (~$570 million). The attack severely damaged three major research buildings and partially affected many others, with around 45 laboratories impacted.
The figure reflects only infrastructure losses, and not the immense scientific toll, which includes destroyed rare materials, irreplaceable samples, and years of unfinished research.

Carney of Canada supported an unprovoked attack on Iran by Israel, bizarrely labeling it as self-defense. Canada's complicity in the war on Iran is a concern and calls for opposition to Canadian involvement. There is significant potential for a larger regional conflict and the implications of war abroad and austerity at home.

Nothing can be compared to what has happened — and continues to happen — in Gaza.
While your conflict with Iran is a military confrontation between two armies, what you launched against Gaza was a full-scale war on an entire defenceless population. You didn’t just target military sites — you destroyed homes, obliterated neighbourhoods, and wiped out entire families. You cut off food, water, medicine, and electricity. You bombed hospitals and refugee camps. You turned a humanitarian crisis into a living hell.
This is not warfare. This is systematic devastation.
What’s happening in #Gaza is not a war — it is a relentless campaign of collective punishment, ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, starvation, and disease. And even after all the destruction, it still hasn’t stopped. The suffering continues. The world watches. And history will remember.

Le #NYT ressuscite David #Petraeus qui ressemble à un super méchant de dessin animé sur l' #Iran.Il encourage #Trump à menacer de « destruction complète » le peuple iranien et, s’il ne s’exécute pas, à le « réduire en miettes » :
David H. Petraeus, général qui commandait les forces américaines en Irak et en Afghanistan et dirigeait la 101e division aéroportée lors de l'invasion initiale de Bagdad, voit peu de similitudes entre la préparation à l'intervention en Irak et aujourd'hui. « Il s'agit clairement d'une préparation potentielle à une action militaire, mais il ne s'agit pas de l'invasion d'un pays », a-t-il déclaré mercredi.
M. Trump, a-t-il déclaré, devrait adresser un ultimatum à l'ayatollah Ali Khamenei, le guide suprême de l'Iran, et lui ordonner d'accepter le démantèlement complet de son programme nucléaire, sous peine de « destruction totale de votre pays, de votre régime et de votre peuple ». Si le guide suprême rejette l'ultimatum, a ajouté M. Petraeus, « cela renforce notre légitimité et, à contrecœur, nous les réduirons en miettes ».

Und natürlich die verfickte AfD, die seit Jahren ungestraft und ungehindert hetzt, die Medien, die diese Hetze verbreiten und dabei noch nicht einmal einordnen (insbesondere die Blöd, die ihre eigenen Kampagnen fahren um der AfD zu nicht mehr Einfluss zu verhelfen), die Union, die kräftig Steigbügelhalter spielt und die Rhetorik und Positionen der Faschisten übernehmen, die SPD, die seit 1998 durchgehend mit in der Regierung sitzen und kräftig dazu beigetragen haben, Zustände zu schaffen, in denen die AfD gedeien kann (trifft in ungleich geringerem Maßstab auch auf die Grünen zu) und jeden Vollpfosten, der auf den Scheiß reinfällt, mitmacht und nicht dagegen steht.

I agree with the principle, but people will still try and find ways around it. Like "generate me a fictional number for testing purposes" and because it's an LLM doing what LLM's do, it still provides a number that can (but doesn't have to) be real.

Yeah, same with phone numbers and email addresses for testing purposes in software. Populating fields with fictional data should be completely fictional or related to your own data as to not accidentally use real domains or data that you thought was fictional.

Al-Quds
Al-Amal
Turkish-Palestinian Friendship
Jordan Field
Al Awda
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani

Red Cross facilities
Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital
and of course, they killed thousands of healthcare workers.
But let's keep on.
The West Bank:

That's all I could find, but I might have missed some. Just to remind everyone, that there is only one bloodthirsty aggressor here, and it isn't 'the Arabs' or Iran
CLARIFICATION EDIT: Of course, bombing hospitals is ALWAYS a war crime.
Just ask yourself why our western governments have allowed for 30 hospitals being bombed, besieged, flattened, medical staff abducted by Israel in the first place.

This blog post is already quite long, so it will omit changes merged for Plasma 6.5 (releasing in October, to be announced in a future post).
With the Plasma 6.2 release, we moved Plasma Dialer and Spacebar to the Plasma release cycle, allowing us to have consistent releases of the two apps. This completes our year long move to having all Plasma Mobile related projects released as part of wider KDE releases, streamlining the work for distributions and taking a load off us on having to maintain a separate release cycle!
In other news, a Fedora spin for Plasma Mobile was released! It will only be targeting devices that can currently boot Fedora (i.e. not ARM phones), but is very exciting nonetheless!
The Plasma Mobile team is happy to announce the developments in the project over the past few months! Housekeeping This blog post was completed much later than originally planned. In the meantime, several releases have taken place:The Dev Log: April 2024 - June 2025

Sawmills, furniture plants, and forestry operations generate vast volumes of wood residues—offcuts, shavings, bark, and dust—that are often underutilized or disposed through open burning. Converting this biomass into high-quality charcoal through thermochemical treatment addresses both waste management and energy transition objectives. Deploying a modern charcoal machine enables controlled carbonization, producing clean, energy-dense solid fuel suitable for industrial and household use.
Hardwood residues—such as oak, beech, or acacia—are ideal for charcoal production due to their dense lignin structure and low ash content. Softwoods, while abundant, tend to produce lower fixed carbon and more volatile byproducts. Mixed sawdust can also be used but often requires densification through briquetting to maintain consistent feed into a continuous reactor.
Moisture content is critical. Wood waste above 15% moisture reduces thermal efficiency and increases condensate volume. Pre-drying, either through solar racks or low-temperature belt dryers utilizing waste heat from the wood charcoal making machine, ensures optimal pyrolysis conditions.
Traditional kilns emit smoke, tar, and particulates, contributing to local pollution. In contrast, modern woody biomass pyrolysis plant systems use indirect heating to initiate pyrolysis under oxygen-limited conditions. This process converts wood biomass into fixed carbon while releasing volatiles that are either condensed or combusted in a secondary chamber.
Operating temperatures between 450–600 °C produce high-grade lump or granular charcoal with carbon content above 75%, minimal ash, and low sulfur emissions. The enclosed system architecture ensures complete gas capture, allowing for the production of clean-burning charcoal without atmospheric contamination.
During pyrolysis, wood volatiles—including methane, carbon monoxide, and light tars—are released. These gases can be routed back into the heating system of the charcoal machine, reducing external fuel input by up to 80%. Excess thermal energy may also be harvested for pre-drying wood feedstock, powering steam turbines, or generating process heat for adjacent industrial units.
This closed-loop approach minimizes the plant’s carbon footprint and improves the overall energy balance of the facility.
Advanced units include gas scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, and thermal oxidizers to treat off-gases before atmospheric release. This ensures compliance with tightening emissions regulations in regions such as the European Union or Southeast Asia.
Additionally, integrating baghouse filters to capture particulates during feed handling and post-processing minimizes workplace exposure and environmental discharge.
Charcoal derived from wood waste has a wide range of applications:
By tailoring process parameters—such as heating rate, residence time, and final temperature—the charcoal machine can be optimized to produce targeted carbon products for specific markets.
A mid-scale charcoal machine plant processing 2–3 tons of dry wood waste per hour typically requires 300–500 kWh of auxiliary power and operates with minimal manual intervention. Maintenance focuses on refractory integrity, rotary seal condition, and heat exchanger cleaning. Return on investment is driven by feedstock availability, proximity to end-use markets, and potential carbon offset revenues.
In many forestry regions, such conversion plants qualify for green financing or government incentives under circular economy and biomass valorization programs.
Transforming wood processing waste into clean charcoal not only diverts biomass from waste streams but also supplies a renewable energy source aligned with environmental and economic imperatives. Through efficient use of a charcoal machine and integrated process design, this approach establishes a sustainable model for decarbonized fuel production from industrial wood residues.
