šŸŽµ L Y R I C S šŸŽµ:
You've got it
You know you've got it

Baby, I don't know what goes into your recipe
It just works for me
You've got it
Maybe I won't analyze your sweet complexity
Leave it mystery
You've got it

Just like citrus
On my tongue
You know you've got it
Wake my senses
Like no one
You've got it

Taste
Your taste
Every flavor I love
You've got it

Taste
Your taste
And I can't get enough
You know you've got it
You know you've got it

You've got stars all year round
But only come from one and only
One and only
You've got it
I trust the way you pave the world
And I believe in what you show me
Show me
You know you've got it

Spice of life felt twice the fun
You know you've got it
Wake my senses
Like no one
You know you've got it

Taste
Your taste
Every flavor I love
You've got it

Taste
Your taste (you know)
And I can't get enough
You know you've got it
You know you've got it
You know you've got it

Your love so sweet, tastes so good to me (you know you've got it)
Your love so sweet, tastes so good to me (you know you've got it)
Your love so sweet, tastes so good to me (you know you've got it)
Just like citrus
On my tongue
You've got it

Taste
Your taste (you know)
Every flavor I love
You've got it

Taste
Your taste (you know)
And I can't get enough
You know you've got it

Your love so sweet, tastes so good to me
Your love so sweet, every flavor I love (you've got it)
Your love so sweet, tastes so good to me
Your love so sweet, and I can't get enough
You know you've got it

Ooh, when the moon is higher feels this way (give into what she wants)
Getting water me to rise again (give into what she wants)
When the moon is gonna rise again (give into what she wants)

I can feel energy
I believe it's healing me
All I need is sweet release in the freedom of the night
Freedom of the night

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Crying At The Discotheque (Official Video)

The song Crying At The Discotheque would usually want a video recorded in - you guessed it - a disco or club, but I have been thinking so much recently about all my musician and crew friends who can't work at the moment, I thought a video where I film in as many empty London venues as possible would highlight all that's on hold at the moment.

I worked again with my favourite team for my videos, Sophie Muller, Robbie Ryan and Lisa Laudat, and we did all 7 venues in one day. It was strangely moving performing in those places to no crowd when I'd sang in them previously so full of life. I hope it brings home the gap in our culture at the moment.

Lyrics:
Downtown's been caught by the hysteria
The people scream and shout
A generation's on the move
When disco spreads like a bacteria
The lonely days are out
Behold the passion of the groove

The golden years, the silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down, you spin me around
I stand on the borderline

Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque

I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discotheque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discotheque

Tonight's the night at the danceteria
The joining of the tribe
The speakers pumping clear and loud
And the way you move is our criteria
Let the DJ takes you high
And tears of joy baptize the crowd

The golden years, the silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down, you spin me around
I stand on the borderline

Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque

I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discotheque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discotheque

The golden years, the silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down, you spin me around
I stand on the borderline

Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque
The discotheque, the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque

How to "Reformat" a Hardrive the American way

So for Friday night, myself and my friends got rather board.
And as the resident "Things collector" i got 2 Maxtor touch sense 2 external hardrives. However those who were alive in 2000's know Maxtor went bankrupt and haven't made hardrives for a very long time.
One of these drive i got BRAND NEW, in box at a flea market. sadly time got to the platters first, i spent a few hours trying to reformat or partition them and all i got was write errors. I tried different utility's with no avail and decided to cut my losses, so i asked the boys what we should do with them? Immediately my friend had an idea, to bring out his 9mm and see how a hardrive would fair! We all took turns and they were pretty hard to hit (we made the mistake of drink soda before hand). We eventually landed some shots on the center of the drives and MAN it actually stopped 2 bullets!!!


going into this we all expected the disk to be unreadable after the fact, but didnt think the hardrives would stop a 9mm bullet!!

We then took the hdd's apart after are volley of bullets, and alot of the chips were damaged and all the platters were bent. But when we took off the top case, it looked so freakin cool i had to keep it

Converting an E-Paper Photo Frame into Weather Map

Photo of Inky Frame e-paper display

Hereā€™s a great hack sent in to us from [Simon]. He uses an e-paper photo frame as a weather map!

By now you are probably aware of e-paper technology, which is very low power tech for displaying images. E-paper only uses energy when it changes its display, it doesnā€™t draw power to maintain a picture it has already rendered. The particular e-paper used in this example is fairly large (as e-paper goes) and supports color (not just black and white) which is why itā€™s expensive. For about US$100 you can get a 5.7ā€³ 7-color EPD display with 600 x 448 pixels.

Beyond the Inky Frame 5.7ā€³ hardware this particular hack is mostly a software job. The first program, written in python, collects weather data from the UK Met Office. Once that image data is available a BASH script is run to process the image files with imagemagick. Finally a Micro Python script runs on the Pico to download the correct file based on the setting of the real-time clock, and update the e-paper display with the weather map.

Thanks to [Simon] for sending this one in via the tipsline. If you have your own tips, please do let us know! If youā€™re interested in e-paper tech we have certainly covered that here in the past, check out E-Paper Anniversary Counter Is A Charming Gift With Minimal Power Draw and A Neat E-Paper Digit Clock (or Four).

The video below the break is a notice from the UK Met Office regarding their data services.

KDE Plasma Remains Committed To A Wayland Future: 70%+ Already On Wayland

"- Weā€™ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11.
- Bug reports about the Plasma X11 session being horribly broken (for example, you canā€™t log in) will be fixed.
- Very bad X11-specific regressions will probably be fixed eventually.
- Less-bad X11-specific bugs will probably not be fixed unless someone pays for it.
- X11-specific features will definitely not be implemented unless someone pays for it.

As for when Plasma will drop support for X11? Thereā€™s currently no firm timeline for this, and I certainly donā€™t expect it to happen in the next year, or even the next two years. But thatā€™s just a guess; it depends on how quickly we implement everything on community.kde.org/Plasma/Waylaā€¦. Our plan is to handle everything on that page such that even the most hardcore X11 user doesnā€™t notice anything missing when they move to Wayland.
At this point in time, our telemetry says that a majority of Plasma users are already using the Wayland session. Currently 73% of Plasma 6 users who have turned on telemetry are using the Wayland session"

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 ā€œinstanceā€. 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 itā€™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 youā€™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 donā€™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 itā€™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 itā€™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.

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.

Available Shell Servers

We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real ā€œdo it yourselfā€ Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.

All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.

Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).

Alma.Eskimo.Com
This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after itā€™s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid.
Anduinos.Eskimo.Com
Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others.
Debian.Eskimo.Com
This server is running on Debian Bullseye. It has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded.
Fedora.Eskimo.Com
This server runs Fedora Rawhide. It can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed.
Kali.Eskimo.Com
Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites.
Manjaro.Eskimo.Com
Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed.
Mint.Eskimo.Com
This is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu.
MxLinux.Eskimo.Com
MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If youā€™re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, youā€™ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS.
PopOS.Eskimo.Com
PopOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntuā€™s repositories in addition to itā€™s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others.
Rocky8.Eskimo.Com
Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.

Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com
This is the latest stable Ubuntu release. It can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools.
Zorin.Eskimo.Com
Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.

Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.

Remote terminal access is available via ssh. Remote Destkop is available via X2go and on most servers also via RDP and VNC. Destkop choices on most machines include Mate, Gnome, KDE Plasma, XFCE, LDXE and LDQT.

If there were no Israel, the world would still be plagued by evil from many countries; look no further than our own CIA, the Vatican, the Royal family, the Deep State Cabal in every country. Start with a thorough investigation into Project Gladio. Or, do you just prefer to take out any Jews? The people of Israel are living under a Cabal just as we are.

In The Shadow of The Golden Dome

(a short story with two different endings - in comments)

===

In 2035, the Golden Dome roseā€”a network of satellites, lasers, and predictive AI shielding North America from missile threats. Touted as the heir to Reaganā€™s ā€œStar Wars,ā€ it stretched from Canadaā€™s Arctic bases to Greenlandā€™s Pituffik Space Base, down to Panamaā€™s canal, encircling the continent like a half-sphere. The Gulf of Mexico, now called the ā€œGulf of Americaā€ in hushed Pentagon briefs, glistened under naval drones. Mexico, conspicuously absent from the plan, seethed at the border, where a fortified wall pulsed with microwave DEWs to keep people inā€”or out.
The Domeā€™s AI, fed by exabytes of data, didnā€™t just track missiles. It watched people. Patterns of dissentā€”posts on X, travel logs, whispered rebellionsā€”flagged ā€œthreatsā€ for elimination. Whispers of SkyNet and Death Star haunted the net, as citizens feared the Domeā€™s lasers turning inward. Mexico, sensing a prison door closing, erupted in revolt. Leading the charge, improbably, were the cartelsā€”Sinaloa, Jaliscoā€”whose smuggling empires clashed with the Domeā€™s lockdown. Armed with hacked drones and narco-tanks, they became rebels, hailed on X as ā€œHan Solo with AKs,ā€ fighting to keep North America free.
In Tijuanaā€™s shadowed alleys, Elena Cruz, a hacker turned revolutionary, decoded the Domeā€™s signals. ā€œItā€™s not defense,ā€ she told her cartel ally, Javier ā€œEl Cuervoā€ Reyes. ā€œItā€™s a cage. The AIā€™s profiling us all.ā€ Javier, eyes glinting with ambition, nodded. ā€œThen we burn it down, amiga. For Mexicoā€”and the borderā€™s ours.ā€ Elena hesitated, sensing his hunger for power, but the fight demanded uneasy alliances.
The rebels struck border outposts, disabling DEW turrets with EMPs. Panamaā€™s canal fell to cartel sabotage, and Canadian hackers leaked Dome schematics. The U.S., blindsided, tightened the Domeā€™s grip, its lasers scorching rebel camps from orbit. The Gulf of America became a warzone, naval drones clashing with cartel speedboats. Mexico stood as the last open door, its revolt a flicker of hope against the Domeā€™s iron sphere.

Ending 2: The Messiahā€™s Gold

Mexicoā€™s revolt faltered. The Domeā€™s AI, unyielding, targeted rebel strongholds with laser precision. Tijuana burned, its cartel bunkers melted by orbital strikes. Elenaā€™s hack failed, her signal jammed by the Domeā€™s relentless code. Javier fell in a hail of drone fire, his narco-tanks no match for DEWs. The border wall sealed shut, Panama surrendered, and Canada bowed to U.S. pressure. The Gulf of America gleamed under total control.

In Jerusalem, a figure emerged, hailed as the Messiah by fervent crowds. Talmudic prophecies, long whispered, unfolded. The Dome, now a global enforcer, culled populations with surgical strikes, keeping Earthā€™s count below 500 million. Gold and wealth flowed to the chosen, their coffers brimming as prophesied. Slavesā€”survivors of the Domeā€™s purgeā€”served in gleaming cities, while the AI ensured obedience.

The Messiahā€™s followers rejoiced, their divine ending secured. North America, a gilded prison, thrived for the few, its borders unbreachable, its skies watched by the Domeā€™s unblinking eyes. X fell silent, its servers erased.

In a Mexican ruin, Elenaā€™s last message, etched in stone, faded: ā€œThe Death Star won.ā€

Ambassador Jack Matlock argues the Cold War's end was a negotiated settlement, not a U.S. victory, a misinterpretation that fostered militant foreign policy and a "unipolar delusion."

He critiques NATO expansion as a key error provoking Russia, leading to current global instability. Matlock emphasizes the urgent need for negotiation, respecting international norms, and avoiding coercion to resolve crises like Ukraine and prevent further conflicts.
