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
Nextcloud 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.

Please note that our sites were down for a short while today for a database upgrade from MariaDB 11.7.2 to 11.8.2. Also Pixelfed is still not federating and I'm having a difficult time understanding why. I've upgraded to the latest code, I can search and find people on other sites, but even when I request to follow I do not see posts and there is exactly zero in the network feed. Any help and or suggestions or references appreciated.

God our Father,
hear our morning prayer
and let the radiance of your love
scatter the gloom of our hearts.
The light of heaven’s love has restored us to life:
free us from the desires that belong to darkness.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.

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[color]
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.

[color=darkblue]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 “do it yourself” 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 it’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
Debian Bullseye 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
Fedora Rawhide 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
Mint 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 you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’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 Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’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
Ubuntu 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.

THERE IS NO #EU POLICY

There are some terrified puppets who feel abandoned by their #US pimps and desperately looking for alternatives.
Ignored by Trump, #European puppets trying to find their place in the world, aggressively against #Russia, #China, against the #GlobalSouth.

Without energy, no technology, no raw materials, no precious metals, no fertilizers, they are marching towards self-destruction.

But then again when was the last time you saw a puppet make the right decision?

Aid charities unanimously calling it
"Over 500 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid since the GHF started operating in late May, following Israel's three-month blockade of Gaza, the organisations said. Almost 4,000 have been injured.
The organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty, say Israeli forces and armed groups "routinely" open fire on Palestinians seeking aid."

Israeli, US-backed Gaza aid group must end, say 130 charities.

WAYLAND SESSION
- Classic Session: it's x11, works as it did before, not getting the Wayland improvements, but it's also the most tried and tested
- Secure session: it's the Wayland session, it uses permissions and portals to let you control what apps can or can't do
- Also comes with mixed DPI mode, as in: external displays can have different DPIs, and better multi touch gestures as well, because, well that's one of the perks of Wayland
- New Portals added: color picker, screenshot portal, screencast, and Wallpaper.
- The default is still CLASSIC: no Wayland by default, it's a choice you need to make

DESKTOP CHANGES
- Dock has been completely rewritten to work with Wayland
- It gained features in the process
- Click on an app's icon that has many windows: it opens a window spread of these windows
- If only one windows, it focuses it on the right workspace
- You can middle click on an app's icon to open a new windows as well, and scroll over the icon to switch between windows
- The dock also finally has super + number to open a specific app

  • Quick settings are now a thing in eOS as well, giving you access to a slider for font size, dark mode, the screen reader, the onscreen keyboard, a rotation lock
  • The super key will now by default open the launcher
  • It used to open the shortcuts overlay, but it now opens the apps menu, and super + space will switch between keyboard layouts
  • Finally, the cursor theme has been changed a bit
  • Other visual changes include blurred wallpapers in the multitasking view, instead of the drab grey background, same goes for the user switcher / login screen

APPLICATIONS
- App permissions are now supported
- AppCenter: defaults to Flatpak, that's the technology of the future for graphical apps, I can only applaud the choice they made here
- So, they replaced the "curated" label that elementary OS apps had, by "made for elementary OS", to still indicate apps that conform to their specific guidelines, although GNOME apps tend to use similar guidelines, the "made for eOS apps" will at least have the right theme
- The app pages have been improved as well, with better links to the developer's various pages
- As per updates, app updates are handled in the app center, and system updates in the system settings.
- These are now offline updates, so installed when you restart
- Default elementary OS apps are the same as you know in elementary OS 7: they're all flatpaks, so you already have their latest version, which means they're still OK but a bit simple

SYSTEM SETTINGS
- Now design for the system settings app, with a dual pane layout, like every other desktop
- Text scaling is much better in there as well, and search now returns actually relevant results
- You can now disable overlay scrollbars in the appearance settings
- The language settings let you pick the temperature unit automatically based on your locale, and you get new keyboard shortcuts to play around with
- Power settings are more complete, you can see the charring status and battery percentages of all connected devices

« Gaza doit être éliminée » : les ondes israéliennes sont envahies par la propagande en faveur du génocide (The Guardian)


Arwa Mahdawi

Voici une compilation des 20 déclarations les plus scandaleuses faites par des législateurs ou des personnalités publiques israéliens depuis le 7 octobre 2023

« Les frappes contre l’Iran soulagent la pression exercée sur Israël pour qu’il mette fin à la famine à Gaza. » Au cas où vous l’auriez manqué, il s’agit d’untitre récent du Guardian publié samedi. C’est le genre de déclaration qui aurait pu choquer les gens autrefois, mais qui n’est plus aujourd’hui qu’un bulletin d’information parmi d’autres.

Suite à la « frappe préventive » d’Israël contre l’Iran au début du mois, qui a eu lieu juste au moment où de plus en plus de personnes commençaient à dénoncer le génocide, l’attention s’est détournée de Gaza. Mais l’assaut d’Israël contre Gaza (et la Cisjordanie) se poursuit à un rythme soutenu.

La pression étant retombée, on craint que certaines des voix les plus extrêmes en Israël n’obtiennent exactement ce qu’elles veulent à Gaza. Comme l’a écrit le général de division à la retraite Giora Eiland dans un journal israélien le 12 octobre 2023, il s’agit de transformer Gaza en « un endroit où aucun être humain ne peut exister ».

Pour vous rappeler ce que certaines de ces voix ont prévu pour Gaza, voici une compilation de quelques-unes des déclarations les plus scandaleuses faites par des législateurs ou des influenceurs israéliens depuis le 7 octobre 2023.

Je me suis limité à 20 déclarations, mais il existe des bases de données en ligne contenant des centaines de déclarations qui montrent une confusion entre le Hamas et la population de Gaza (y compris les enfants) et une volonté d’infliger une punition collective. Le but ultime de tout cela n’est pas d’éliminer le Hamas de Gaza, mais d’éliminer tous les Palestiniens de Gaza et de Cisjordanie.

  • « Toutes les infrastructures de Gaza doivent être détruites jusqu’à leurs fondations et leur électricité coupée immédiatement. La guerre n’est pas contre le Hamas, mais contre l’État de Gaza », a déclaré May Golan, ministre de l’Égalité sociale et de la Promotion du statut des femmes en Israël, le 7 octobre 2023.
  • « Rasez tout [à Gaza] comme c’est le cas aujourd’hui à Auschwitz », a déclaré David Azoulay, chef du conseil municipal de la ville de Metula, dans le nord d’Israël, lors d’une interview accordée à une station de radio israélienne en décembre 2023.
  • « C’est toute une nation qui est responsable. Il est faux de dire que les civils ne sont pas au courant et ne sont pas impliqués, c’est absolument faux... » Isaac Herzog, président d’Israël, a déclaré lors d’une conférence de presse le 13 octobre (en anglais).
  • « Nous avons désormais tous un objectif commun : rayer la bande de Gaza de la surface de la Terre », a écrit Nissim Vaturi, vice-président du Parlement israélien, le 7 octobre 2023. Vaturi a également écrit : « La guerre ne prendra jamais fin si nous n’expulsons pas tout le monde. » (2 novembre 2023) et « Pour anéantir Gaza. Rien d’autre ne nous satisfera... Ne laissez pas un seul enfant là-bas, expulsez tous ceux qui restent à la fin, afin qu’ils n’aient aucune chance de se rétablir. » (9 octobre 2023)
  • « Les enfants et les femmes doivent être séparés et les adultes de Gaza doivent être éliminés. Nous sommes trop indulgents », a déclaré Vaturi lors d’une interview à la radio Kol BaRama en février 2025, où il a également qualifié les Palestiniens de « sous-humains » et déclaré que la Cisjordanie serait la prochaine à être transformée en Gaza.
  • « La bande de Gaza doit être rasée, et pour tous, il n’y a qu’une seule sentence, celle de mort », a déclaré Yitzhak Kroizer, membre du parti d’extrême droite Otzma Yehudit du ministre de la Sécurité nationale Itamar Ben Gvir, lors d’une interview à la radio. Cette déclaration n’a pas fait l’objet d’une grande couverture médiatique internationale, mais elle a été citée dans la lettre envoyée au procureur général à la fin de l’année 2023, accusant les autorités judiciaires du pays d’ignorer l’incitation au génocide.
  • « Gaza ne redeviendra pas ce qu’elle était avant. Nous éliminerons tout », a déclaré le ministre israélien de la Défense Yoav Gallant en octobre 2023. (Gallant occupait ce poste au moment de la déclaration, mais il ne fait plus partie du gouvernement).
  • « Je ne suis pas sûr que vous parliez en notre nom lorsque vous dites que nous voulons soigner chaque enfant et chaque femme. J’espère que vous ne soutenez pas non plus cette déclaration. Lorsque l’on combat un groupe comme celui-ci, les distinctions qui existent dans un monde normal n’existent pas », a déclaré Amit Halevi, membre du Likoud à la Knesset, en réponse à une déclaration d’un médecin israélien affirmant que les enfants qui souffrent devraient recevoir des analgésiques, en mai 2025.
  • « Les enfants de Gaza sont responsables de leur sort », a déclaré Meirav Ben-Ari, du parti d’opposition Yesh Atid de Yair Lapid, en réponse à un législateur palestinien déplorant la perte de vies civiles le 16 octobre 2023.
  • « Cette victoire devrait avoir deux objectifs : 1. Il n’y a plus de terre musulmane en Terre d’Israël... Une fois que nous en aurons fait la terre d’Israël, Gaza devrait être laissée comme un monument, à l’instar de Sodome... », a déclaré Amit Halevi, membre du Likoud à la Knesset, le 16 octobre 2023.
  • « Ils [les enfants] sont nos ennemis », a déclaré Simcha Rothman, membre de la Knesset pour le parti national religieux, qui fait partie de la coalition du Premier ministre Benjamin Netanyahu. Rothman répondait à une question d’un journaliste de Channel 4 (Royaume-Uni) qui lui demandait : « Les enfants sont vos ennemis ? »

Les déclarations suivantes ont toutes été faites sur Channel 14, une chaîne de télévision d’extrême droite qui était autrefois une chaîne de niche, mais qui est devenue l’une des sources d’information les plus regardées en Israël. Trois organisations de défense des droits civiques ont demandé l’ouverture d’une enquête sur Channel 14 pour sa normalisation des déclarations génocidaires.

« Il ne s’agit clairement pas de quelques voix isolées tenant des propos scandaleux dans le feu de l’action », a déclaré Ran Cohen, directeur du bloc démocratique israélien, dans une déclaration au Guardian. « Le schéma d’incitation à la haine qui se dégage de Channel 14 est systématique, soutenu et orchestré – il n’est pas fortuit. Nous avons répertorié des centaines de déclarations, dont beaucoup ont été prononcées par des animateurs et des invités réguliers, diffusées quotidiennement dans les foyers israéliens et regardées directement par les soldats. La frontière entre les médias et la propagande de guerre a été effacée. »

  • « Si le but de cette opération n’est pas la destruction, l’occupation, l’expulsion et la colonisation, alors nous n’avons rien accompli », a déclaré l’ancien membre de la Knesset israélienne, Moshe Feiglin, le 12 octobre 2023.
  • « Effacez complètement Gaza, ne laissez personne là-bas », a déclaré le chanteur Eyal Golan, le 15 octobre 2023. Depuis qu’il a fait plusieurs déclarations de ce type, Golan a continué à donner des concerts en Europe.
  • « Nous arrivons. Nous arrivons. Nous arrivons à Gaza. Nous arrivons au Liban. Nous viendrons en Iran. Nous viendrons partout [...] Nous anéantirons l’ennemi. Nous ramènerons le Moyen-Orient à une situation où les Arabes seront terrifiés par les Juifs [...] nous viendrons vous anéantir [insiste-t-il]. A-n-n-i-h-i-l-i-r. Anéantir. Transmettez ce message, partagez cette vidéo afin que tous vos amis puissent voir ce que nous nous apprêtons à vous faire », a déclaré le présentateur de l’émission matinale de Channel 14, Shai Golden, le 17 octobre 2023.
  • « L’ennemi n’est pas le Hamas, mais Gaza. L’ennemi n’est pas le Fatah, mais les Arabes de Cisjordanie. Et ils ne sont pas prêts à l’accepter, car l’approche pour traiter avec cet ennemi, appelé « Gaza », doit être complètement différente [...] À l’instar de la Tchétchénie, où les Russes l’ont rasée au point que les Tchétchènes ont compris : cela ne vaut pas la peine de réfléchir avec eux [...] Il n’y a pas d’innocents. Quand vous dites « population », il n’y a pas de population. Il y a deux millions et demi de terroristes [...] Quand il n’y a pas d’innocents à Gaza, cela ne sert à rien de « prévenir d’une frappe ». Parce que tout le monde est un terroriste », a déclaré Eliahu Yusian, qui se présente comme un expert et commentateur des affaires arabes. Il est souvent invité sur Channel 14, a participé à l’émission The Patriots et a tenu tous ces propos sans interruption le 29 octobre 2023.
  • « Je continue à regarder au-delà des objectifs militaires, ce qui est bien, mais en fin de compte, il y a quelque chose au-delà des objectifs militaires, et c’est la stratégie. Il s’agit de briser le moral de la population de Gaza, et les choses bougent là-bas », a déclaré Shimon Riklin le 21 février 2024.
  • « ... chaque jour, nous tuons 100 terroristes ? Il y a deux millions et demi de terroristes là-bas ! », a déclaré le panéliste Eliahu Yusian le 24 février 2024.
  • « En ce qui concerne ce que Boaz a mentionné, au cours des deux premiers jours, nous aurions dû tuer 100 000 Gazaouis [...] Seuls quelques-uns sont peut-être humains là-bas. Seuls quelques-uns sont peut-être humains là-bas. Plus de 90 % sont des terroristes et sont impliqués ! Ils ne sont pas non impliqués, cela n’existe pas », a déclaré le commentateur politique Danny Neuman dans l’émission du journaliste Boaz Golan le 6 mai 2024.
  • « La destruction à Gaza me procure un sentiment agréable. Gaza est en état d’anéantissement. De nombreux bâtiments ont disparu du paysage. La machine de destruction doit continuer à fonctionner afin qu’il soit clair qu’ils n’ont nulle part où retourner. Le désespoir comme plan de travail », a déclaré Yinon Magal dans l’émission The Patriots en lisant un tweet d’un soldat réserviste nommé Dvir Luger le 3 août 2024.
  • « Gaza mérite la mort. Les 2,6 millions de terroristes de Gaza méritent la mort ! ... Hommes, femmes et enfants – par tous les moyens possibles, nous devons simplement leur infliger un holocauste – oui, relisez bien – H-O-L-O-C-A-U-S-T-E ! Pour moi, des chambres à gaz. Des wagons de train. Et d’autres formes cruelles de mort pour ces nazis. Sans crainte, sans hésitation – simplement écraser, éradiquer, massacrer, raser, démanteler, briser, détruire... Gaza mérite la mort. Qu’il y ait un holocauste à Gaza », a déclaré Elad Barashi, un producteur de télévision affilié à Channel 14, le 27 février 2025, dans un message publié sur X qui a ensuite été supprimé.

Il est désormais clair que rien ne poussera l’Occident à empêcher Israël de mener à bien sa « victoire totale » à Gaza. Mais j’ai écrit ceci pour rappeler une fois de plus que nous savions tous ce qui allait se passer. Personne ne peut feindre l’ignorance. Personne ne peut prétendre qu’il ne savait pas.

There is no "Western World Empire" nor US-EU-NATO-Israel Empire.
There is only US imperialism wannabe-empire and the absolute submissive puppets.
NATO is a fascist tool of the US to keep the EU puppets under control.

I used #DuckDuckGo_Search for that.
TBH, #AndiSearch usually seems a little better at #image_search than #BraveSearch (I am using #AndiSearch these days and comparing it with #BraveSearch to decide on one of them). What I don't like at #AndiSearch is that it's slower than #BraveSearch, and that it doesn't display at least an animation to show that images are loading…

@Vivaldi, yes, Andi certainly isn't the fastest, and also logical in a small startup with for sure not the biggest server for it.
But on the other hand, from all the AIs Itested, it's the most reliable, ethic and which best protect the privacy. Very similar philosopy of the one from Vivaldi, respect ethics and users. Not so important that it needs a second more for the research.

Yes, Startpage is majority-owned by System1, an advertising technology company, through its subsidiary Privacy One Group. This acquisition happened in December 2018, though it wasn't publicly announced until October 2019.

System1 describes itself as "one of the largest purchasers of digital advertising in the world" and uses "statistical and machine-learning models to group consumers into thousands of audience profiles"

However, Startpage maintains that its privacy protections remain intact. According to Startpage CEO Robert Beens, the company retains control over privacy-related decisions and continues to operate from the Netherlands under EU privacy laws. Startpage claims it still does not store user data or IP addresses, and only serves contextual ads based on search queries rather than behavioral targeting.

For anyone that didn't know Bob Vylan: Their music is about the racism that's alive and well in England and how the ruling class keep it that way, working class struggle, fighting to be who you are, against toxic masculinity, (and eating your veggies!)

On Saturday they wished for an end to a military that's engaging in ethnic cleansing. The government and press always itch to find the "crossed line" to silence all of the above.

Silence is violence.

Innovative mission concepts enabled by disruptive computing paradigms

Due to the growing volume of data produced by Earth observation (EO), traditional computing architectures struggle to process information efficiently and promptly. To mitigate this issue, prepare Europe for the future of space computing, and grow from Earth observation into Earth action, ESA is seeking innovative mission concepts that use disruptive computing paradigms, potentially coupled with matching sensing technologies that could either bring new capabilities for Earth-orbiting satellites, or significantly improve current mission constrains.

Enhancing Biochar Yield in Biomass Pyrolysis

Maximizing the biochar yield in biomass pyrolysis is crucial for optimizing both environmental benefits and economic returns. A pyrolysis plant, which thermally decomposes organic materials in the absence of oxygen, can efficiently transform waste biomass into valuable biochar, a carbon-rich product. However, improving biochar yield requires optimizing several critical factors within the pyrolysis process. Here, we explore the key strategies for achieving higher biochar production and the technical aspects that influence the output.

Temperature Control


One of the most significant factors affecting biochar yield is the pyrolysis temperature. In general, a lower pyrolysis temperature favors biochar production, while higher temperatures tend to produce more volatile gases and liquids. Optimal temperatures for biochar production typically range from 400°C to 600°C. Operating outside this range can lead to either insufficient carbonization or excessive gas formation, both of which reduce biochar yield.

For a biochar production equipment to maximize biochar output, careful regulation of the temperature profile is necessary. Maintaining a consistent heating rate and ensuring that the material reaches the optimal temperature without excessive overheating is essential for achieving a high biochar yield.

Heating Rate


The rate at which biomass is heated during pyrolysis plays a pivotal role in determining the amount of biochar produced. A slow heating rate generally promotes higher biochar yield, as it allows the biomass more time to undergo thermal degradation at lower temperatures. Conversely, rapid heating can result in a quicker release of volatiles, reducing the final biochar yield.

By carefully controlling the heating rate, a biomass pyrolysis plant can optimize the carbonization process. Generally, a heating rate of 5-10°C per minute is considered ideal for biochar production. Slower heating rates prevent the biomass from reaching temperatures that favor the production of non-condensable gases, thus preserving more of the carbon content in the biochar.

Feedstock Quality


The type and moisture content of the biomass feedstock directly influence biochar production. Biomass materials with higher moisture content require more energy to evaporate the water before they can start the pyrolysis process. High moisture content not only increases the energy required for pyrolysis but also dilutes the carbon concentration in the final product.

To improve biochar yield, it is essential to pre-dry feedstocks such as wood, agricultural residues, or even municipal waste before processing. This reduces the energy input required for the process and ensures that more of the biomass is converted into biochar rather than lost as volatile gases. Feedstock with lower ash content also tends to yield more biochar, as ash can reduce the overall carbon content.

Particle Size


The particle size of the biomass feedstock influences heat transfer and the efficiency of the pyrolysis process. Smaller particles have a greater surface area, which allows for more efficient thermal degradation and, consequently, higher biochar yield. However, extremely small particles may cause clumping or clogging in the pyrolysis plant, potentially affecting the quality of the biochar.

Finding the optimal particle size for different types of biomass is crucial. Typically, particle sizes ranging from 1 to 5 cm work well, ensuring both efficient thermal conversion and smooth processing in the pyrolysis plant.

Residence Time


The amount of time the biomass spends inside the pyrolysis reactor, known as the residence time, is another critical parameter. Longer residence times allow for more thorough carbonization, which can increase the biochar yield. However, extended residence times at higher temperatures can also lead to the degradation of biochar into lighter fractions like gases or oils.

Balancing residence time with other process parameters, such as temperature and heating rate, ensures that biomass is given enough time to convert into biochar without excessive breakdown into gaseous or liquid byproducts.

Optimized Reactor Design


The design of the pyrolysis reactor has a direct impact on the overall yield of biochar. Advanced reactors that provide uniform heat distribution, efficient gas flow management, and better thermal insulation are more effective in producing high-quality biochar. Modern pyrolysis plants often utilize batch reactors or continuous systems, each with its advantages depending on the scale of operation.

Reactor design also influences heat retention, which is essential for achieving the right temperature profiles. Ensuring that the pyrolysis plant has a well-insulated and airtight system reduces heat loss and allows for more efficient processing of the biomass feedstock.

Catalysts and Additives


In some cases, the use of catalysts or additives can enhance the pyrolysis process and increase biochar yield. Catalysts such as alkali metals or transition metals can promote more complete carbonization and reduce the production of tar and other volatile substances. These additives can be especially useful when processing biomass types that tend to produce excessive amounts of liquid or gaseous byproducts.

However, careful consideration of catalyst type and dosage is essential to avoid contamination of the final biochar, which could negatively impact its quality and subsequent applications.

Monitoring and Automation


Automation and real-time monitoring are indispensable in optimizing biochar yield. A pyrolysis plant equipped with sensors and control systems can continuously adjust parameters like temperature, pressure, and heating rate for maximum biochar production. Automated systems can also facilitate the continuous feed of biomass, ensuring consistent processing and reducing downtime between batches.

Regular monitoring also allows for quick identification and correction of any operational issues that may hinder biochar production. Over time, the data collected through these systems can be analyzed to refine operational strategies and improve biochar yield.

Conclusion


Achieving optimal biochar yield from biomass pyrolysis requires a careful balance of various operational factors, including temperature control, heating rate, feedstock quality, and reactor design. By focusing on these key parameters and leveraging advanced pyrolysis plant technology, producers can significantly increase their biochar output, ensuring both environmental sustainability and economic viability. As demand for high-quality biochar continues to grow, improving the yield will become an essential consideration for any pyrolysis plant operator.
