Mehrere aktuelle Fälle von tödlichem Rassismus in Deutschland

'Die 90er Jahre scheinen zurück zu sein. Nicht nur die Gesetze und die vom Großteil der Parteien getragene Politik werden immer rassistischer. Auch auf der Straße wirkt sich der rassistische Diskurs aus. Dazu ein paar Meldungen der letzten Zeit.

„Nach einer tödlichen Messerattacke nahe des Großen Brombachsees ist das 15 Jahre alte Opfer obduziert worden. Die 19-jährige Tatverdächtige sitzt in Untersuchungshaft.“ Der Fall, über den berichtet wird, ereignete sich am 21. Juni. Es würden "Verdachtsmomente" geprüft, wonach die 19-Jährige den Jugendlichen mit deutscher und brasilianischer Staatsbürgerschaft beleidigt haben könnte, "möglicherweise mit fremdenfeindlichem Hintergrund", so die Polizei.

Über den tödlichen Messerangriff der 19-jährigen Deutschen berichteten natürlich durchaus einige Medien. Ein Aufschrei wegen dieser tödlichen Messergewalt blieb bisher aber aus. Deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekam der Wels, der am Vortag der tödlichen Attacke auf den 15-jährigen Jungen, ebenfalls am Brombachsee, ein paar Badegäste verletzt hat und von der Polizei daraufhin erschossen wurde."'

Big Tech plans to use lots more water. They just don't want the public to know.

Cooling alone can account for up to 40% of a data center’s total electricity consumption.

A major shift we’re seeing is the move from reliance on air-cooling systems to liquid cooling solutions.

Techniques like chilled water loops, direct-to-chip (cold plate) cooling, and immersion cooling are gaining popularity.

The white-supremacist victors of ww2 designed "international law" to apply to black & brown people, not white.

The ICC was fondly known as the "International Caucasian Court".

A brief look into history and politics has convinced me that protected nations are those with nuclear weapons. Unprotected nations are those without.

Development of nuclear weapons is prohibited to any third-world nation with resources the western world can exploit.

Just so happens, black and brown people tend to live in those places. But I would not be surprised if racism didn't play a large part in their decisions, given the time in which it was all decided.

Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

Hi!. Currently running Linux Mint 22.1, but i suspect it's not strictly a distro issue. This laptop was running VERY well but was outdated, running Mint 19.3, some things were unable to be installed because the system libraries were old (didn't expect Calibre to be one of them, figures), so i updated all the way to that moment's current version which was Mint 21.3. All of a sudden it felt like the laptop got downgraded two whole computer tech generations. As soon as i ask it to do something mildly complicated that made it break no sweat on Mint 19, it gets VERY slow, all the cores start running at max, system load increases, until it finishes doing whatever it was doing several minutes later, something between a couple of minutes when lucky, to 20 or more. Typically what triggers the issue is something on the browser (what i use the most on the computer is browser tabs and lots of terminals) but not exclusively. Thought it was the browser but replicated it on an empty Firefox profile, and has triggered with simpler stuff like the Discord client. Been trying to find the issue for a while trying to avoid a full reinstall, no luck so far.

If i were to describe how it feels, it's like there was a bottleneck on tasks being done by the system, as soon as you ask it to do something mildly complex it chokes on it and tasks accumulate. No idea if it's some kind of kernel misconfiguration, if it's some hardware incompatibility, or something else entirely, checking the changelogs of Mint all the way between 19.3 and 21.3 showed nothing i could pin this onto (or at least nothing i could notice).

The nuclear option would be a brand new blank install but I'd MUCH rather avoid that if possible, made the comfortable but now unwise choice of a single partition for everything (instead of a separate /home and whatnot as i used to do) so reinstallation would wipe it completely, if i must then i must but much rather not.

Would welcome VERY much ideas on stuff to check or try.

Edit: It's got an NVME drive, which seems to be healthy as far as i can see

Edit: When it happens it doesn't seem to matter how much RAM is free, seen it happen with only 8 of the 32Gb of RAM in use and zero swap

Edit: Found a great way to describe how it feels like: Have you done heavy video encoding on a computer that's adequate for the task but not more than that, and noticed how everything in it stalls heavily, even if there's plenty of RAM free and the computer feels like it's giving everything to that task only? Pretty much that, but for nearly everything even moderately heavy

jherazob

Given that as i mentioned elsewhere i did not separate the /home into it's own partition like I've been doing since the 90s, formatting this thing right now would likely lead to losing stuff, i need to organize the files first before i do the nuclear option: A full reformat/reinstall. If that makes no difference in the end, I'll have to consider the possibility of getting a new one. No idea how long will each step take so not the foggiest on when will i do each thing, and that's even without taking procrastination into consideration... 😅

☣️ Newer versions of the virus have improved their ability to evade the natural defenses of the human immune system. "The virus has certainly mutated away from what we saw a decade ago," said UNCC computational biologist Colby T. Ford, Ph.D., who led the study. "They don't even look the same."

These adaptations increase the pandemic potential of the virus, he said, and candidate vaccines developed 10 years ago may not be efficacious against contemporary strains of the virus. "This has the potential to be bad."
