Why higher education must boycott Tel-Aviv University

Since its establishment, Tel-Aviv University has functioned as an arm of Israel’s settler colonial project. As calls for university divestment continue to grow, we must also demand that schools cut ties with institutions contributing to war crimes.

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Fidel Castro: Representative bourgeois democracy is characterized by politicking, bribery and corruption and it is a system in which only the ruling classes and the wealthy classes have access to power, aside from the accompanying anarchy of that system of government, as demonstrated by recent history, for example, in France, a country where the government changes ten times a year. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Someone gave me a helium balloon the other day and I'm amazed at how I forgot what I learned as a kid: Which is that playing with a helium balloon can be loads of fun and a great distraction. I liked giving it a nudge every time it inched close to my desk, only to watch it meander its way back in a minute or two.

Note to self: Tethering a helium balloon to your desk is not a great idea if you also have touch screens. I was AFK for like 10 minutes and come back and the thing had gotten my browser into quite a mess, and there were like 10 tabs open for various sketchy sites. Thankfully this was all in a VM, but just FYI: Balloons may look harmless, but they definitely have a mind of their own.

We are misunderstanding the strenghts of open source

We misunderstand the strengths of the commons of tools and not knowing how we play to our strengths.

Free software today is usually promoted through big brands like libreoffice, gimp or firefox. These are successful in terms of branding, but is not playing to the strengths of the commons. In the commons, we move away from the walled and towards the interconnected.

The strenghts doesn't lie in bloated and branded tools, but rather in the small tools that anyone can make if they have some spare time. We need to reframe away from the bloatedness to the caresome. Where the tools are easily made, available by birth and easily tinkerable.

And we need towards the descriptive instead of the branded. Towards letting words dictate tools instead of tools dictating words.

Today operating systems revolves around the branded, bloated and wasteful. The lokening is to move towards operating systems that inbosoms the caresome and descriptive.

Siège de Valéria


Celui-ci, c'est typiquement mon genre de jeu solo préféré. Jets de dés, combos, cartes, puzzle game, issue binaire (on se fait laminer par le jeu, et parfois, sur un malentendu et une série de jets de dés favorables, on le bat).
On doit défendre sa forteresse assiégée par une horde de 5x5 cartes. Les 4 premières lignes sont des créatures (qui attaquent et font des dégats lorsqu'elles sont en première ligne), la dernière, des engins de siège (qui ont une portée définie). On doit attaquer tout ça et éviter que notre forteresse tombe. À chaque manche, on lance notre pool de dés (7 au départ, mais ça varie durant la partie), on résout les engins de siège à portée (dégats éventuels), on tire un évenement (forcément défavorable), et enfin on attaque (on assigne des dés aux créatures en première ligne). Quand on bat une créature, on gagne sa carte qui a un pouvoir (généralement, de manipulation des dés qu'il nous reste). En fin de manche, les premières lignes non-vaincues nous font des dégats, tout le monde avance vers la fortersess, et on pioche de nouvelles créatures/engins pour combler les trous. Condition de victoire, venir à bout de la pile de 18 engins de siège (même si il reste des créatures). Conditions de défaite, prendre trop de dégats (4) sur une des 5 colonnes, avoir un engin de siège en première ligne lors de la résolution des engins, épuiser la pile de créatures lors du renforcement. Pour résumer, 7 tours pour casser 18 cartes qui ne sont pas immédiatement à portée, tuer des créatures pour bénéficier de leur pouvoir, mais pas trop pour ne pas épuiser leur pioche. Trèèèès dificile ! J'ai encore jamais gagné (4 parties).
Les parties durent environ 45min, le niveau est très élevé mais la mécanique est fluide et les combos hyper satisfaisants (donc on y revient plein d'espoir). La rejouabilité est très grande car la grille de 25 cartes n'est jamais la même, et on gagne parfois des "héros" qui nous permettent des combos supplémentaires.
L'artwork est démentiel (comme sur toute la gamme des jeux "Valéria"), le matos de grande qualité. J'adore ce jeu. 35€ en neuf, chopé à 15€ en occas', une affaire vu comment je l'apprécie.

Gaza : panique morale et courage de dire


Dans un article publié par The Palestine Chronicle, l’historien israélien Ilan Pappé explique avec beaucoup d’acuité le silence de l’Occident sur la Palestine – en particulier celui des universitaires, des journalistes et des politiciens – par un phénomène de « panique morale » qui conduit à une absence de compassion et de solidarité avec les victimes du génocide en cours à Gaza.

Voyager en voiture électrique : simple comme bonjour.


#transports #VE

Voyage à Lille le 6 mai 2025 en Ioniq 38 2020.

trajet de 500 km, température d'environ 18-22°C ce jour-là, donc idéale.

5h30 de route environ. Aller à 130 une fois passé Roissy, retour plutôt 110/120.

1h20 de charge environ (54kWh rechargés)

Départ chargé à 100%. Retour 32%. J'aurais donc pu charger un peu moins longtemps pour arriver entre 10 et 20% de batterie, en utilisant la planification de charge avec par exemple ABRP.

Clairement la Ioniq 38, malgré sa capacité de batterie limitée et sa vitesse de recharge très faible par rapport aux normes actuelles, reste parfaitement utilisable grâce à sa consommation très faible par rapport à la majorité des véhicules du marché (à part la BMW i4 et la Tesla Model 3). En pratique, elle ne doit pas mettre plus de temps que des voitures comme la R5 (52kWH, charge à 85kWh) qui consomment beaucoup plus que la Ioniq 38 sur autoroute (R5 : 21 à 23 kWh/100 km à 130).

On constate sur les graphiques qu'il n'est pas intéressant de charger au-delà de 75% : la puissance de charge baisse alors à 22 kW. Une charge typique est donc de 20 kWh environ, de quoi parcourir environ 150 km à 110.

Ainsi, sur un long trajet autoroutier, on fera typiquement 200 km sur la première étape, puis environ 150 km sur les suivantes.

  • Charge au départ : 38 kWh
  • Charge à l'arrivée : 12kWh
  • Total chargé en route : 54kWh
  • Puissance moyenne de charge : 41kWh (sur un maximum de 49kWh : on dit merci à la température extérieure favorable)
  • Consommé 67 kWh, moyenne sur le parcours 14,5 kWh/100km.
  • Consommation à 130 km/h : 15 à 16 kWh/100 km.
  • Consommation à 110 km/h : environ 13 à 14 kWh/100 km.
    • Coût de la recharge sur autoroute : entre 0,68 et 0,69€/kWh, 37€
    • Coût comparatif avec ma Volvo diesel (6l/100 km à 120) : 51€ de gazole environ. Même au tarif exorbitant du kWh sur autoroute (3 à 4 fois plus cher qu'à la maison), ça reste rentable.

Thousands Rally in Burkina Faso in Support of Revolution Following Alleged Coup Attempt


Thousands of people rallied in Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou on Wednesday in support of the revolution after an alleged coup attempt and comments by an American official criticizing the leader Ibrahim Traore.

Last week, the West African country’s government said it foiled a “major plot” to overthrow Capt. Ibrahim Traore, with the army alleging the plotters were based in neighboring Ivory Coast.

Earlier this month, Gen. Michael Langley, the head of U.S. military in Africa, tried to smear Traore during a U.S. Senate committee hearing of using Burkina Faso’s gold reserves to benefit the junta at the expense of the population.

Crowds of protesters gathered at the Place de la Revolution in Ouagadougou on Wednesday, chanting “Long live Captain Traore!” with some holding banners showing a photo of Gen. Langley with the word “slave” written on his head with red marker. Others waved Burkina Faso and Russia’s flag, a close ally of the West African country.

Ocibi Johann, a musician who came to the protest, said he is not surprised at the accusations launched by Langley. “Because Colin Powell lied, Iraq was destroyed. Barack Obama lied, Gaddafi was killed. But this time, their lies won’t affect us. That’s why we tell them – we’re not against them – but we are against predation and economic slavery,” he said.

Until last year, the U.S. had military bases in neighboring Niger as part of its supposed counterterrorism work in the Sahel, land south of the Sahara, but withdrew after the West African nation ended the military agreement between the two countries.

Burkina Faso, along with its neighbors Niger and Mali, has for over a decade battled an insurgency fought by jihadi groups, including some allied with al-Qaida and the Islamic State group.

Following military coups in all three nations in recent years, the ruling parties severed military ties with colonial Western countries such as the U.S. and France, and turned to Russia for military support.

Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger created their own security partnership, known as the Alliance of Sahel States, in 2023.

Following a September 2022 coup, Capt. Ibrahim Traore was named the transitional president of Burkina Faso and promised to bring security and prosperity to the West African nation, following in the tradition of Thomas Sankara, capturing the hearts and minds of many young people in his country and around the world.

Sekou Ansumariam Dukaly, one of the protester, said he came to Burkina Faso all the way from Liberia.

“I came to Ouagadougou today to participate in this demonstration in support of Captain Ibrahim Traore, because he represents hope for Africa, hope for Black people, hope for all freedom fighters around the globe,” he said.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

My expectations:

Very poorly: UK, France, Germany, Canada, China

Normally: Italy, Japan, India, South Korea

Very Well: Argentina

Clamonacc doesn't start due to "could not add element to hash table" errors

Trying to set up clamonacc to watch /home, /tmp and /storage (where I mount other drives). It keeps failing due to ERROR: ClamInotif: could not add element to hash table for ... that causes ERROR: ClamInotif: issue when adding watch for /home/lojcs and ultimately ERROR: ClamInotif: could not watch path '/home/', Invalid argument passed to function.

The initial error was triggered by the steam folder, empty cache directory of starship, firefox cache directory, my 'Games' folder and after that I stopped excluding the directories. I don't see the point in having on-access scan if I need to carve out large chunks of the filesystem to make it work for reasons I don't understand. I don't see anything common with those directories or what makes them different than the ones it has no problem watching.

Has anyone successfully set up clamonacc? This is like the 3rd time I'm trying in the last couple years and it never works.
