I'm pro LGBTQ, anti-israel, against consumerism/capitalism, pro socialism. Pro government control on key infrastructure (water, gas, electricity) and better housing and support services. Pro climate policies, pro taxing the rich.

But I'm also against fossil fuel bans, against bans on firearms, pro military for defence, pro free-speech, pro strict immigration, against 'PC' culture, against trans-women in women's sports, pro merit success.

Am I left or right? ...Or centrist?

Sports decide themselves, of which world rowing and boxing have blanket bans. Athletics, cycling, swimming, rugby and cricket are bans if the transition was after puberty. Triathlon, tennis and archery requires testosterone testing. And all other sporting bodies are on a case by case basis.

That's why we don't see them because the Olympics themselves have said:

high-level organised sporting competitions - relies on a level playing field, where no athlete has an unfair and disproportionate advantage over the rest.


I'm tired of replying to everyone, please put more effort into your argument

I didn't, I cited the literal Olympics. I have cited medical studies, and I have defended my position where everyone then returns to insults and statements like this.

Unless you have evidence that what I said was incorrect, you are infact wrong. One, only ONE person has cited one study that is inconclusive and I congratulated them because at least they showed there is some conflicting research but you haven't even bothered to try.

If you are going to throw your opinion around, at least back it up with weight. Cite studies, link articles, or form a proper argument, because if I can refute your claim before I've even had my morning coffee than you still have room to make a half decent point.

You never bothered to look into it. You decided that since trans people are banned now, they must always have been banned. They were allowed to play for a long time before the ban, in fact, and none of the scare mongering was true. There was no trans domination.

You don't really care though. That you care about the issue at all is evidence you've fallen for the conservative campaign against trans people, because it's an entirely invented issue. You listened to what the conservative pundits said, maybe you even read one of the Heritage Foundation's studies. But you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, and I've been having this argument with fucking "centrists" like you for over a decade who think we're a fine scapegoat for your socially acceptable bigotry.

You aren't a centrist. There is no center when one side wants the elimination of the other, and that's the ultimate end goal here. You think you're having a dandy little political discussion, but this is just a stepping stone on the campaign to convince the public that trans women are men and therefore trans people are sick, and need to be removed from society. When you run around and parrot their talking points on a subject you know little about its not a fun debate, it's plain bigotry and its not fucking welcome.

"Channel 4 will broadcast Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, a documentary laying out damning allegations that Israeli forces systematically targeted Gaza's hospitals and medical staff throughout their military campaign—allegations which would amount to grave breaches of international law.

"This is a meticulously reported and important film examining evidence which supports allegations of grave breaches of international law by Israeli forces," said L. Compton, Channel 4's Head of News and Current Affairs. "It exemplifies Channel 4's commitment to brave and fearless journalism," she added.

Grove Crane Parts: The Foundation of Safe and Reliable Operations


For Grove cranes, using genuine Grove crane parts is what keeps the job site safe and the project on track.

There's a quiet majesty to a crane at work—its towering frame gliding through the air, hoisting heavy loads with a precision that feels almost effortless. You might watch it from the edge of the site, maybe munching on a snack, and marvel at how it places steel beams with pinpoint accuracy. But that performance hinges on the smallest components. For Grove cranes, using genuine Grove crane parts is what keeps the job site safe and the project on track.

When Small Oversights Become Big Problems


I've spent enough time around construction sites to know that the little things can cause the biggest disruptions. I once saw a job stall for hours because someone used a mismatched fitting in a hydraulic system—small mistake, huge headache. With cranes, the risks are even greater. A single subpar part can turn a smooth lift into a costly delay or a serious safety issue.

Why Grove Cranes Need Precision Parts


Grove cranes are built for the toughest jobs, trusted for their strength and reliability. But even the best crane is only as good as its parts. Think of it like a high-end watch: every gear has to be perfect for the hands to keep moving. Grove crane parts are designed specifically for these machines, ensuring they can handle heavy loads and constant use without faltering.

The Risk of Cutting Corners


A generic part might seem like a quick fix. It might even look identical to the real thing. But as one mechanic told me, "A cheap part is like a cheap ladder—it'll hold you up until it doesn't." Subtle differences in quality or design can lead to uneven performance, faster wear, or sudden failure. That's not a chance you take when a crane's lifting tons of material.

A Lesson from a Near-Disaster


A few years ago, a crew in Colorado made a costly mistake. Trying to save money, they ordered a replacement part from an unverified crane parts supplier. It wasn't a genuine Grove part, but it was cheaper, so they took the risk. During a heavy lift, the crane's slew mechanism hesitated. No one was hurt, but the site shut down for days, and the repair costs far exceeded the savings. A quality Grove crane part would've kept things running smoothly.

More Than Just Safety


Safety is the top reason to choose quality parts—no one wants to risk lives. But Grove crane parts do more than prevent accidents. They keep the crane operating smoothly, responding quickly, and running without unexpected hiccups. Operators can work with confidence, and the project stays on schedule, saving time and money.

The Value of Genuine Parts


Choosing genuine Grove crane parts isn't about spending more—it's about spending smart. These parts are engineered for Grove cranes, tested for durability, and built to last. A trusted crane parts supplier ensures you get components that fit perfectly and perform reliably, reducing the risk of breakdowns or safety issues.

The Payoff of Quality


In construction, the smallest choices often have the biggest impact. Quality Grove crane parts might not get much attention when everything's running well, but they're the reason your crane lifts with precision, moves without hesitation, and keeps your crew safe. They're why the job gets done on time and why everyone can focus on their work instead of worrying about equipment. Choosing the right parts is a small decision that delivers big results.

9950x3d cache optimizations on Linux?


I'm considering getting a 9950x3D on either Monday or Tuesday at a Micro Center as a upgrade to my current setup. My main question is, how is the experience with the 9950x3D on Linux with strange architecture with half of the cores having extra L3 cache and the other half with a normal amount of L3 cache.

I have been busy working and suddenly there's been a promotion for the 9950x3D that I want to take advantage of since my motherboard on my current system has been deteriorating as of late. Asrock x570 Extreme4 with a 3700x. USB has been very flaky and I've been dual boating and the other SSD slot is on the chipset. Which makes my windows boot incredibly slow.

I plan to stay on Arch Linux or hop over to CachyOS but want to know what are your thoughts on this as well?

I primarily game but occasionally do some video/audio encoding, video editing and want to build ffmpeg-full from the aur but takes too long on my 3700X.

I've only been able to read/watch three mediums level1tech, and two Phoronix articles, but haven't mental capacity to register and remember everything.

I watched the Ryzen 9950x3D? On Linux video by Level1tech. And one of the things he mentions is gamemode. Is it recommended.

As for the Phoronix articles one is the review of the 9950x3D and the other is the cache optimization driver.

By default for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D it was using the "frequency" preference as default. But if writing "cache" to /sys/bus/platform/drivers/amd_x3d_vcache/AMDI0101:00/amd_x3d_mode it will prefer using the CCD with the larger cache. This cache vs. frequency bias can all be easily manipulated at run-time for those interested.


Is there some sort of automation for this? Or, do I have to do it manually for each program? I've never messed with kernel parameters other than for my Nvidia GPU to get Wayland to work.

I'm sorry that this question feels very unorganized. I just don't have time to write a proper one. I'll be able to reply on my next break.

Thank you for your help.

keep it on cache since I do a lot of code compilation, but I will usually switch it to frequency for gaming and stuff.


Isn't gaming the most cache-heavy CPU workload there is? The X3D CPUs have consistently topped gaming benchmarks, even outperforming much more modern CPUs that lack 3D cache.

I'd sooner do it the other way around: frequency for compiling, rendering, transcoding, etc. Cache for gaming!

Advice on migrating from Ubuntu server to another server OS


Hi all. I'm currently running a home server using Ubuntu OS, but I'd like to try and explore other options for operating systems to better my skills with linux/unix.

Currently I'm considering switching to Fedora server (though feedback is welcome) because I've been running it as my daily OS for a few months now and I quite like it. I'm also looking at Debian server because that's what my old professor used and he did nothing but speak its praises.

Only issue is I'm concerned about data loss from moving the installation. Currently, the server is setup to run several Docker images running my programs. While moving over the images shouldn't be difficult whatsoever, I'm afraid my storage setup might not be so easy. Currently, it's two 4TB hard drives running in a logical volume. I'd love to simply be able to move over all the files to a backup drive, but I don't have anywhere I can store >5TB of files as a backup.

I googled around, but I couldn't find too many guides on migrating logical volumes. The one or two I did find were most definitely written for someone with far more linux knowledge than I have as a relative noob, so any advice would be extremely welcome!

我妈有一点点变了

原先我爸生病,我下班觉得家里不对劲,我妈把我拉进我房间和我哭着说:你爸爸病了
我那时可开心啦
我妈说我不能这样
那次动手术我妈跑前跑后
但是,她自己动手术的时候,就我在手术室外面等着,我还和医生护士一起把我妈抬上病床。
医生问我:你爸爸呢
我,无话可说

后来,我说病魔怎么还没有战胜我爸
我妈:他不管怎么样都是你爸爸
这个时候,我妈开始不管我爸肺部其实还要做手术。她也巴不得他别再折腾了。
这期间,我爸一直复诊,然后觉得要换医生。这个医生要杀了他

现在
我:我爸怎么还没死
我妈:你是他女儿,这种话你不能说出口的。造孽的
一转头
我妈对着我爸说:你快死吧

啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

我爸这作的呀
我妈都变成这样了

"No, I keep worrying and fighting until I am in a way of control so I can do something about it"

The SCIF

WHO REALLY ARE THE OBAMAS & WHY DID MALIA OBAMA REALLY CHANGE HER LAST NAME? We know for a fact that we've been lied to by our government for decades on numerous subjects and situations.

Barack Obama is alleged to be an intelligence asset working for multiple countries and agencies, groomed by the CIA and others to take control of the U.S. and to destroy it from within.

To fool the American people and to play the role properly of the all "American family," you would need a "family" to play the part.

One question that has been floating around the headlines has always been: Is Michelle Obama really a woman, and are Obama's children really their own?

They look awfully like the Nesbitts and traveled with the Obama's and their children everywhere they went. Even "delivered" the babies. But still, to this day, no pictures exist of Michelle Obama's pregnancy with either child.

Another piece of damning evidence was from Joan Rivers who was caught on camera explaining that we already had the first gay president with Obama because she claimed Michelle Obama was a transgender and that everyone in the elite circles knew about it.

Not too long after Joan River's claims, she mysteriously passed away allegedly during surgery. Maybe this also explains the heavy push for certain dangerous ideologies plaguing our society. Have you noticed that all of the celebrities' children are all of a sudden "transgender" now?

Elon's father, along with many other celebrities, has claimed to know that Michelle Obama is really not a woman. Nobody cares what she does. But what we do care about is the truth.

The people have a right to know if we'd been taken for a ride for 8 years while Obama was president. Do you believe the rumors and the evidence to be true? Are the Obama's children really their own? Why would so many celebrities and other prominent people say it was true? minds.com/newsfeed/17856498841…

I use hledger for accounting. It's actually pretty awesome. It's 100% text based. I made a custom syntax file for nvim.

I use typst and hledger for the invoicing. Typst is text based like latex, though easier to program imo. Because both hledger and typst are text based, I made a script and typst template that can do a number of things:

1. Make invoices with time based billing by time keeper (time is kept in sqlite, but converted to ssv for running invoices).

2 . Invoice advance costs paid for clients.

3. Provide trust accounting for clients with trust account.

4. Calculate past dues with interest

5. Sub-sum each table

6. Sum total due (minus amounts to be paid from trust).

7. Print invoices to be mailed.

8. Print envelopes for each client who has an invoice to me mailed.

9. Produces a script for emailed invoices, when ran sends the emails with the invoice attached.

10. Produce hledger journal entries for invoices.

11. Move each invoice into the each clients file.

My invoicing time went from about 10 hours using quickbooks, etc. to about 1 hour. The script and template took about 4 hours to write. That's a net savings over time.
