ESA astronaut Raphaël Liégeois from Belgium, a member of the ESA Astronaut Class of 2022, was selected in November 2022 from over 22,500 candidates who applied to ESA’s 2021 call for new astronauts.
He began his year-long basic astronaut training at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany, in April 2023. This training covered spacecraft systems, spacewalking, flight engineering, robotics, life support systems, survival, and medical training. Raphaël received his astronaut certification alongside fellow astronaut candidates Sophie Adenot, Rosemary Coogan, Pablo Álvarez Fernández, and Marco Sieber at EAC on 22 April 2024, officially marking his transition into a fully-fledged astronaut.
In June 2024, Raphaël was announced for his first spaceflight mission, currently scheduled for 2026 to the International Space Station. After completing his pre-assignment training, he is now in mission-specific preparation, focusing on the tasks and experiments he will perform during his stay on the Space Station.

Il a débuté sa formation de base d’un an au Centre européen des astronautes (EAC) de l’ESA à Cologne, en Allemagne, en avril 2023. Cette formation couvrait les systèmes spatiaux, les sorties extravéhiculaires, l’ingénierie de vol, la robotique, les systèmes de survie, les techniques de survie et la formation médicale. Raphaël a obtenu sa certification d’astronaute aux côtés de ses camarades Sophie Adenot, Rosemary Coogan, Pablo Álvarez Fernández et Marco Sieber à l’EAC le 22 avril 2024, marquant officiellement son passage au statut d’astronaute confirmé.

Dans un discours devant un auditoire du Parti des travailleurs à Brasilia, le président brésilien a accusé Washington de #chantage économique et s'est engagé à défendre la souveraineté nationale. Donald Trump menace le Brésil de droits de douane de 50 %, en plus de 10 % supplémentaires imposés aux membres du BRICS.Le président brésilien Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva a accusé les #États-Unis d'avoir « aidé à fomenter un coup d'État » au #Brésil et a condamné ce qu'il a qualifié de tentative de #Washington de faire usage de la pression politique pour imposer des sanctions économiques à son pays.
S'exprimant lors d'un rassemblement du Parti des travailleurs à Brasilia le 3 août, Lula a averti que le Brésil n'accepterait pas de traitement injuste et qu’il était prêt à défendre ses intérêts sur la scène internationale.
Lula contre l’ingérence américaine
« Tenter d'utiliser une question politique pour nous sanctionner économiquement est inacceptable », a déclaré Lula, faisant référence aux récentes menaces américaines d'imposer des #droits de douane de 50 % sur les #exportations brésiliennes.
« Je n'oublierai pas qu'ils ont déjà contribué à un coup d'État ici », a ajouté Lula, sans préciser s'il faisait référence à l'opération Brother Sam en 1964, à la destitution de l'ancienne présidente Dilma Rousseff en 2016 ou à la récente tentative de l'ancien président Jair Bolsonaro d'annuler les résultats des élections de 2022.
Le président américain Donald #Trump a justifié la menace de droits de douane par ce qu'il a qualifié de « chasse aux sorcières » contre le « très respecté » Bolsonaro, accusé d'avoir tenté un coup d'État pour se maintenir au pouvoir. Washington a également sanctionné le juge de la Cour suprême, Alexandre de Moraes, qui supervise une enquête sur le complot présumé.
Le Brésil prône le multilatéralisme
Lula a souligné que le Brésil n'était plus économiquement dépendant des États-Unis, invoquant l’expansion des liens commerciaux mondiaux et des fondamentaux nationaux plus solides. Il a également réaffirmé ses efforts pour trouver une alternative au dollar américain dans le commerce international.
« Ils veulent mettre fin au #multilatéralisme […]. Ils veulent revenir à des accords internationaux où les grands dominent les petits », a déclaré Lula. « Autrement dit, un petit pays qui négocie avec les États-Unis est comme un ouvrier d'usine comptant 80 000 collègues, qui négocie seul avec son patron. L'accord est déséquilibré ; vous n'y gagnerez rien », a-t-il ajouté.
« Nous avons la taille, nous avons une position dominante, nous avons des intérêts stratégiques et économiques… Nous voulons négocier, mais nous voulons négocier sur un pied d'égalité », a souligné le président brésilien.
Les #BRICS dans le collimateur
Avec un tarif de 50 %, le Brésil serait confronté aux droits de douane américains les plus élevés au monde. Par ailleurs, Trump a déjà menacé d'imposer des droits de douane supplémentaires de 10 % aux membres des BRICS, les accusant de tenter de « détruire le dollar comme norme mondiale ».
Le Brésil est l'un des membres fondateurs des BRICS, formés en 2006 avec la Russie, l'Inde et la Chine. Le bloc s'est depuis élargi avec l’adhésion de l'Afrique du Sud, de l'Égypte, de l'Iran, de l'Éthiopie, des Émirats arabes unis et de l'Indonésie. Ses dirigeants ont toujours affirmé qu'ils n'avaient aucune intention d'affaiblir le dollar, indiquant que Washington lui-même le fragilise par des abus politiques.

Pour ce dernier épisode de cette première saison de Contrastes, on va vous parler de l'alimentation, parce que figurez-vous que ce que vous mangez, c'est aussi une construction sociale. L'alimentation, ça concerne tout le monde, tout le monde mange. Vous commencez à avoir l'habitude si vous regardez tous les épisodes de Contrastes, mais comme le reste, notre alimentation est située socialement, et c'est de ça dont on va vous parler aujourd'hui. Parce que, malgré son importance, l'alimentation, c'est un thème qui est assez peu abordé dans l'espace médiatique. Pourtant, c'est un sujet qui est étudié par les sciences sociales depuis les années 1900. Aujourd'hui, c'est carrément devenu un champ de la recherche à part entière : la sociologie de l'alimentation. Quand on parle du vote, c'est la sociologie du vote, quand on parle de l'alimentation, c'est la sociologie de l'alimentation.

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 ser
vices 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 enti
re 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. Ther
e 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 prim
ary 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 i
nstance 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. We now have this site also properly federated so any images you share can be viewed on any other Fediverse site by users who follow you, and you can view images posted by anyone on any fediverse site whom you follow.
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.

DropSiteNews berichtete letzte Nacht über eine aktuelle Recherche von des israelischen Channel 13 über die Protokolle der entscheidenden Gespräche in der Israelischen Regierung Anfang März.
Man war sich einig, darüber, dass Hamas sich an den 'Waffenstillstand' gehalten habe. Hatte eigentlich erwartet dass die Gespräche scheitern.
#Israel #Gaza #Hamas #Warcrimes #starvation
Während der für die Geiseln zuständige General sowie der Chef des Shin Bet dafür waren, in Verhandlungen für Phase B einzustreten um die israelischen Geiseln frei zu bekommen, wollten die anderen Minister der Regierung dies definitiv nicht.
Warum? Sie beschrieben klar, dass das wichtigste Ziel für sie ist den Krieg fortzusetzen. Der Chef des Shin Bet meinte, dass man auch dann weiter Krieg führen könnte, wenn die Geiseln erst alle frei wären. Nach Phase B.
Allen anderen war das zu riskant. Denn der Krieg ist schließlich das was führen wollte. Smotrich bezeichnete die Vorstellung als ignorant, dass man den Krieg einfach weiterführen könne.
Katz etwa fand es exzellent, dass wenn weniger als die Hälfte der Geiseln frei kommt. So kann man den Krieg problemlos weiterführen.
Also entschloss man sich bewusst die Geiseln aufzugeben und stattdessen für den Einsatz von Hunger als Waffe 'gegen die Hamas'.
Am nächsten Tag begann dann die Komplettblockade jeglicher Nahrungszufuhr. Eine Strategie, die besonders auf die Schwächsten einer Gesellschaft zielt.
Man hatte im Kabinett gehofft viel schneller eine ausgewachsene Hungersnot zu erzeugen.

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.
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.'
We also offer web hosting, e-mail, and virtual private servers.

This is what complicity in genocide looks like.
The only valid reason for working at Microsoft right now is if you’re actively engaged in sabotage.
Same goes for Google, and any other corporation working with Israel to help commit genocide in Palestine.
History is watching (and taking notes).

Hi @joborun linux, I am trying to set sinit but I ended up with a complete fail. What I have done: enabled the spark linux repos, installed spark-sinit and ssm. The first packaged pulled spark-rc but it was conflicting with runit-rc, so I tried to uninstall the latter but it was a hard dependency of the base package. So I ran pkg -Rdd runit-rc and installed spark-rc. I noticed that my /usr/share/ssm/services folder was empty, so I installed the spark-services-git package and it was immediately populated by a bunch of service scripts. So I rebooted adding to the grub cmdline the parameter "init=/usr/bin/sinit" but I had a kernel panic and my partition couldn't be mounted...Could you please share a detailed guide on how to get sinit and ssm up and running? Thanks in advance! #joborun.
Hi comet, your message for some reason is not showing up on diaspora-fr.org yet
The conflict between runit-rc and spark-rc I believe is only /etc/rc.conf otherwise they can coexist
Maybe joborun can rebuild its own versions of sinit ssm and spark-rc pkgs and place /etc/sinit/rc.conf instead
But rc.conf is very crucial in starting with sinit
as is default
Uncomment and add modules you want to be loaded at boot time here
cfg_modules=( )
see what joborun has on /etc/rc/sysinit
most of those are what it calls init modules and most are necessary
what they list below that with sysctl motd ...
are optional
Anything on sysctl that is also used as modifier on linux boot-loader line such as net.ifname=0 or ipv6.disabled=yes that are also defined on sysctl will crash the kernel / will not boot that is
Unfortunately I haven't used this for years and I don't have my old rc.conf saved and also some of the settings may have changed since
Also on spark-rc /usr/bin/rc is also a script, pretty much all of sinit can work as a script without a single binary
Read it and try to get a sense of what it does.
REMEMBER it is the world's simplest and smallest of all init systems, and this comes with a price, but for small simple systems is all one needs and by comparison systemd init alone is 10000 times larger.
ssm I think is Spark Service Management which is a set of suckless scripts that start services through its simplistic service scripts, it doesn't supervise or monitor whether services run or need restarting or keep failing and must be stopped, it simply starts them.
runit'\s runsvdir keeps parsing /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/ for services, if they are active it does nothing, if they are not it starts them and if they will fail a few times it stops trying. s6 does the same with s6-svscan but instead of parsing text files it has all the setup compiled into a binary db from the last setup you did. It knows what needs to be supervised without reading scripts and executing commands, therefore faster than runit in complex multi-service systems.
sinit is basically taking the kernel, mounting manually, reading the filesystem, and executing one command line at a time.
I think the original author broke all records by creating an init with only 30 lines of a script.
Good luck and best of luck and patience waiting for Jack to respond to questions.
spark also has libsystemd on it to satisfy arch dependencies on systemd ... you don't need that crap with joborun
