Mon GPS de vélo Wahoo est mort: depuis hier, il perd en permanence la connexion satellite et ce, malgré un reset total.

Temps de le remplacer (saloperie de société du jetable, c’est acceptable, c’est mon deuxième en 10 ans)

J’hésite en reprendre un Wahoo car j’aime l’interface hyper simple et l’absence de touchscreen. Mais ayant une montre Garmin pour l’apnée, je me dis que ça simplifierait si je passais à Garmin.

People of Mastodon!

I'd like to introduce a new little project I've been working on over the past few weeks:

LAMA (Lightweight Archiver for Mastodon Activities) 😀

It's a Python script that allows you to archive the activities of one (or more) Mastodon accounts (posts, boosts, favorites, bookmarks, mentions) and store them locally in a lightweight, easily usable SQLite database.

github.com/s427/LAMA

I've never actually checked what's inside until now, grabbed the case during inventory clearance but by that point Deepcool whatever the instance lives inside of has already arrived. Some anachronistic ITX board, floppy and DVD-RW aren't even connected to anything. Booted up to a fairly clean Windows 7 install, has some whatever Celeron and two gigs of DDR3. Has someone's bachelor degree thesis, a bunch of family photos AND A FOOTAGE OF AN INDOOR CHICKEN FARM.

Let's get this out of the way: WIndows and mac os have superior app support than our Linux desktops have. We do have plenty of great software, alternatives to most, if not all, the biggest proprietary utilities that people use.

Professionals that rely on these niche applications need the missing 10% of features in most cases. And even if they could do without these 10%, there's still the matter of compatibility with your existing projects, files, and the training required.

Linux still fails at that, even though we could still say that these app developers fail at bringing their apps to Linux, the fact remains: their apps aren't on Linux, and so the pros that depend on them aren't on Linux either.

Second area where Linux fails is gaming

We've come a long way. With Proton, Steamplay, Heroic Games Launcher, Lutris, and plenty of other awesome utilities, gaming on Linux is a reality. For singleplayer titles. If you love your day one multiplayer sessions from the latest AAA titles,though, Linux does NOT work well.

Anti cheat is coming, in the meantime, 50% the top 10 most played games on Steam don't run on Linux for multiplayer, or at all. And that number grows if you start looking at games that aren't on Steam.

Third area where Linux fails is hardware.

First thing is, Linux distros don't ship preinstalled on most hardware. We have tons of hardware manufacturers and resellers, and even bigger ones like Dell and Lenovo start shipping devices with Ubuntu or Fedora.

We have Tuxedo and SLimbook, Starlabs and System76, Entroware, Purism, Juno Computers, the Pine64, and probably a lot more that I'm forgetting. But none of these devices are making their way in a general, mass market, retail store.

The goal is to make sure that people SEE that these options exist. They probably won't buy them outright, but after your second computer renewal, maybe you decide to go for the one that's slightly cheaper, with that interesting looking OS.

FInal area where Linux fails is the choice.

Not because we lack choice. And, surprisingly, not because we have too much choice. Simply because we have a lot of choices, and they're super hard to present in a legible manner

Distrowatch is not a good resource for picking a distro. Its ranking system makes no sense for newcomers and the website looks straight out of the 90s. No way anyone wants to browse that to find which distro they should use.

Distro Chooser is way more user friendly, but after you completed the questionaire, you're presented with something like 40 options, which doesn't narrow it down at all.

Almost all the answers are valid. It all depends on what the user wants, likes, is used to, is looking for, their hardware, their ethical preference... It's virtually impossible to answer this kind of question:

What we, as a community, need to realize, is that we should have ONE distro per desktop environment to recommend for beginners. Neon, some kind of GNOME OS, XFCE OS, MATE OS, Linux Mint, and PopOS once they have their own DE.

Now: "According to our local sources and eyewitnesses in the area, the explosions have not stopped. Artillery shelling continues, and Palestinians are on the move due to intensified airstrikes and targeted attacks.

The #Zeitoun neighbourhood is a very densely populated area, home to many families, including those who have been sheltering there. Residents were surprised when the artillery shelling and the intensive airstrike started. So some people stayed. Other people started moving." Aljazeera

Thread By @anatolium - Charlotte Caubel, nommée à un poste clé du Parquet de Paris, a peu d'expérience et est liée à des proches du pouvoir, comme Macron et Edouard Philippe. Le Parquet, qui decide souvent des poursuites, est déjà influencé par des gens proches du pouvoir. Cela soulève des questions sur son indépendance et si elle pourra faire face aux pressions.

Had some login issues starting today with my #Cockpit installation on my #Kubuntu desktop. It wouldn't log me in. Made changes to my #PAM configuration, tweaking #Kwallet's PAM #service, and still no bueno.

I was trying to login to 127.0.0.1:9090.

Thread By @russeurope - Ce thread explique que le sommet entre Trump et Poutine en Alaska est une victoire pour la Russie, avec des signes de normalisation des relations. La Russie veut une paix durable, pas juste un cessez-le-feu, et invite l’Occident à s’engager davantage. Les sanctions occidentales faiblissent, et la Russie renforce ses liens en Asie. L’UE et ses leaders sont fragilisés face à ces changements.

Quietly, the House of Lords has amended its rules to drop the requirement that Lords register non-financial interests.

After a month long consultation a committee of Lords concluded the bureaucratic burden of the recording of interests outweighed any benefit gained in debates.

To paraphrase immortal worlds of Mandy Rice Davies: well they would say that wouldn't they....

h/t The Observer

"Across the German media landscape, such narratives contribute to stripping Palestinian journalists of credibility, and – in the worst case – handing Israel readymade justifications for targeting them.

Germany’s “never again” pledge should carry weight given its deeply genocidal history. Yet it rings hollow when the country’s dominant outlets launder or supply propaganda to legitimise mass killing in Gaza. This is not journalism in the service of truth – it is journalism in the service of violence. Breaking this cycle would require a serious reckoning with the editorial cultures and political loyalties that have enabled German journalism to be weaponised in this way.

The killing of journalists in Gaza makes one thing painfully clear: Israel does not want a record to be left. When the history of this genocide is written, there will be chapters on the media’s role. Germany’s section will be uncomfortably large. No one should claim they didn’t see it happening."

The cooling towers of the Nottinghamshire coal power plant, which operated 1968-2019 and was responsible for approximately ~400 million tonnes (MtCO₂) going into the atmosphere (and which will remain there for 300 to 1,000 years) were demolished Aug 14th.

Damage done.

But satisfying to see this!

Did you know that a white anti-vax terrorist killed an Atlanta police officer Friday and fired more than 500 rounds into the CDC headquarters that RFK Jr has called a “cesspool of corruption”?

Yes, the cabinet secretary responsible for these health workers has eviscerated their funding and made them targets.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 "blast-proof" windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.


Thank goodness. #Trump prefers to do his bullying when he outnumbers his target. He also may be able to be re-influenced with multiple people telling him the same thing.

#Europe & #NATO leaders announced Sunday that they’ll be joining President #Zelensky in DC for crucial talks with #Trump, rallying around the #Ukraine leader after his exclusion from Trump’s disastrous *summit* with #Russia President Vladimir #Putin.

As the policing of thoughts and speech becomes more sinister, understand this …

ANYTHING you say may be held against you and used to silence you. Your intent does not matter.

You don’t need to lie, threaten, or even be rude. All it takes is for a person, a police officer, or an authority to claim your words made them feel “alarmed” or “distressed.”

Truth won’t protect you. You can post something accurate, sourced, and backed by official reports and still be accused of online harassment.
If someone claims you’ve created a “hostile atmosphere,” that can be enough.

And you don’t even need to break the law.
Civil injunctions, Community Protection Notices, and “Respect Orders,” which can ban you from speaking publicly, can be used pre-emptively (in case you say something offensive in the future) to silence people.

No jury. No trial. Just a judge ruling that your speech causes “discomfort.”

This isn’t about protecting people; it’s about reinforcing narratives, and the rules aren’t applied fairly.

This is the front line now. It’s not about kindness. It’s about control

ok i have a plan for the trailing arm now. i am gona increase the strut travel slightly, and also inlude an elastomer bump stop for added safety to prevent bottoming out.

i'll add multiple possible mounting locations for the top of the strut to change the angle as needed to adjust the ride quality by adjusting the travel and leverage of the end of the trailing arm

...if that makes any sense without seeing it
