1 of the newer schools of tai chi made after the 5 most prominent family named schools is called Mulan Tai Chi

It was created by a woman with health problems after she used TaiChi to get better

She created her own form or dance routine

The main difference in her form that I have seen after watching the videos is the following

In the Yang Forms I have seen there are a lot of poses where the 2 hands are far apart from one another

But in the Mulan forms I have seen the hands are close together

Not sure if this answers your question, on my fresh install of Debian 13 it seems to default to using

/etc/apt/sources.list

For example, I had to go in there to enable non-free and it worked fine.

There is a newer/recommended format of sources files ending in .sources in the same folder. The newer format is supported as of Debian 13 but for whatever reason Debian 13 doesn't actually default to installing the newer version on fresh installs. I'm a bit confused by that but Debian's own docs do discuss it.

wiki.debian.org/SourcesList

On my fresh install the /etc/apt/sources.list.d still exists, it looks like other software still create their own sources .list files in there when adding their own repos. Debian 13 itself does not seem to generate any files there.

What if Australia were Ukraine? Trump and Putin prove our strategy to trust the US is a roll of the dice

I think the Ghislaine Maxwell trial and imprisonment is a hoax. We are only provided the same 3 tired photos of her over and over. She is allegedly in a light security prison where she is allowed out on work release…..zero photos? Zero photos in the court room…only artist’s drawings? She turned herself in when she was living in France with no extradition treaty? Yet the DOJ set up and conducted an in person interview last week? BS.

wait. Didn't you call me a 'nazi' for not voting for Kamala Harris + critiquing her horrible pro genocide platform the other day in a thread? Yeah that was you.

You aren't isolated lmao you are surrounded by mainstream ideologues with giant platforms where they spew identical views. If you think Harris was a good candidate, I have an update for you: you make good humans scream on the inside (and the outside lately).

It's time to move on. Time for a new party.

Linux File System ext-4


I think it would be interesting to create a file system which allowed both positive and negative offsets and would behave like any normal file unless you did a negative absolute seek or native relative seeks that add to a negative value.

The idea would be to keep metadata in the inode that would note the start of the file from a seek point and it isn't necessarily zero but would map to zero. Perhaps even allow the negative portion to be encrypted separately from the normal positive section. I'm
just thinking a lot of stupid meta data add-ons could be absorbed into the main file.

“Trump’s base isn’t an amorphous blob of cultish loyalty. It’s a coalition that coheres not around his personality, but around what his presence represents: defiance, vengeance, and symbolic inversion of a cultural order they believe has humiliated them. For some, it’s economic abandonment. For others, it’s religious displacement, cultural dislocation, or years of being told that their gender, skin color, profession, accent, or dietary habits mark them as morally inferior. Trump was — and still is — a middle finger wrapped in a flag, dipped in gold plating, and shouted through a bullhorn.”
