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.

Im no expert on podcasting but this is what I am noticing. Media deconstruction is happening on a lot of podcasts. And with that I’m hearing a lot of the same topics/clips, and yes each podcast has a different angle about those topics, but its a lot of repetition. I think thats why people are not engaged or listening or donating. What I’m noticing is that AM talk radio is getting more into conspiracy shows. WABC 770 and 710 overnight shows are all about it. It seems roles got reversed where podcasts were famous for conspiracy shows/topics and not as much anymore. I think the majority of people know mainstream media is “fake and gay” and are tuning out from anything that has to do with it. I havent listen to todays episode but Im pretty sure you covered Bidens prostate cancer. For me that story is so far from important to me because its all bullshit. Everyone knew something wrong with him. And the administration covered it up. OMG. Could’nt be!
This is just my personal feedback. I enjoy all the podcasts and podcasters here and want to see each one find their creative goal.

19.05.2025 Friedensfähig statt erstschlagfähig


Offener Brief an die neuen Bundestagsabgeordneten

DFG-VK und IPPNW haben einen Offenen Brief an die neuen Bundestagsabgeordneten geschrieben mit der Aufforderung in gemeinsamen Treffen zu erörtern, welche Möglichkeiten bestehen endlich aus der Kriegstüchtigkeits-Logik auszubrechen und wieder den Dialog zu fördern. Insbesondere die Stationierung von Mittelstreckenraketen gilt es zu verhindern, weil sie die Kriegsgefahr in großem Maß erhöhen. Bei Vorwarnzeiten von unter 10 Minuten kann es jederzeit zu einem "Krieg aus Versehen" kommen.

Diese Erkenntnis hat in den 80-iger Jahren die Stationierung von Mittelstreckenraketen verhindert und zu einigen Abrüstungsvereinbarungen geführt. Das gilt es zu wiederholen. Die beiden NGOs schreiben in ihrem Brief:

Wir wollen mit den Abgeordneten in den Austausch kommen und deutlich machen, warum wir sämtliche landgestützten Mittelstreckenwaffen als eine Bedrohung für die Sicherheit in Europa ansehen. Rüstungskontroll- und Abrüstungsgespräche können nicht warten. Vor 50 Jahren wurde die Schlussakte von Helsinki unterzeichnet, in der Maßnahmen angekündigt wurden, „um schließlich eine allgemeine und vollständige Abrüstung unter strenger und wirksamer internationaler Kontrolle zu erreichen“. Wir fordern die Abgeordneten auf, sich an die Ziele des Dokuments zu erinnern und sich für weitere Schritte auch diesem Weg einzusetzen.
Einladung zum Dialog: Gemeinsam für Abrüstung und ein friedliches Europa

Sehr geehrte/r Abgeordnete/r,

vor der Wahl zum 21. Bundestag haben wir Sie als Kandidat*in mit unserem Offenen Brief kontaktiert – nun gratulieren wir Ihnen herzlich zum Einzug in den Deutschen Bundestag!

Wir möchten gerne mit Ihnen in den Dialog treten, um gemeinsam zu erörtern, wie Europa mittelfristig auf einen friedensfähigen Kurs gebracht werden kann. Dazu gehört für uns auch eine neue Initiative zum Verbot von Mittelstreckenwaffen.

Bitte senden Sie uns bei Interesse zwei Terminvorschläge für ein Online-Treffen zu.

Seit unserem letzten Brief ist viel passiert:

  • Der seit dem 24. Februar 2022 andauernde Krieg in der Ukraine geht unvermindert weiter.
  • Die neue US-Administration scheint keinen nachhaltigen Friedensplan zu verfolgen.
  • EU-Staaten wurden bei den Gesprächen über eine partielle Waffenruhe weitgehend außen vorgelassen.
  • Der 20. Bundestag traf weitreichende Entscheidungen zur Verteidigungsfinanzierung, und die EU erwägt, Mitgliedsstaaten zinsgünstige Kredite von bis zu 150 Mrd. € für Rüstungsgüter bereitzustellen.
  • Die Diskussion um eine europäische nukleare Abschreckung gewinnt an Intensität.
    Russland hat durch seinen großflächigen Angriff auf die Ukraine die Vision einer europäischen Friedensordnung in weite Ferne gerückt, (völkerrechtliche) Grundpfeiler des Zusammenlebens in Europa in Frage gestellt und unzählige Verstöße gegen das humanitäre Völkerrecht zu verantworten. Gleichzeitig priorisiert es wirtschaftlich die Produktion von Rüstungsgütern für seinen Krieg.

Im November 2024 hat Moskau bei Angriffen auf das ukrainische Dnipro erstmals eine neu entwickelte Mittelstreckenrakete eingesetzt und mit weiteren Einsätzen gedroht. Dies stellt eine unverantwortliche Eskalation dar.

Die EU und die europäischen NATO-Staaten rüsten gleichzeitig massiv auf und verabschieden sich teilweise aus mühsam erstrittenen Errungenschaften der humanitären Abrüstung – was diese Instrumente nachhaltig zu schwächen droht.

Am 10. Juli 2024 gaben die US-Regierung und die deutsche Bundesregierung bekannt, US-Raketen vom Typ SM-6, Tomahawk-Marschflugkörper und Dark-Eagle-Hyperschallwaffen stationieren zu wollen. Zusätzlich wurde bekannt, dass Deutschland mit weiteren, europäischen Staaten die Entwicklung eigener Mittelstreckenwaffen im Rahmen des Projektes ELSA vereinbart hat.

Wir halten es für einen Irrweg, als Reaktion auf die aktuellen geopolitischen Spannungen in eine Aufrüstungsspirale einzutreten und gefährliche Waffensysteme zu stationieren bzw. selbst zu entwickeln. Anders als beim NATO-Doppelbeschluss 1979 wurde die Stationierung nicht mit einem Verhandlungsangebot verbunden! Dabei waren Raketen und Marschflugkörper mit einer Reichweite zwischen 500 km und 5.500 km unter dem INF-Vertrag aus guten Gründen verboten.

Wir setzen uns ein für:

  • Einen Stopp der geplanten Stationierung neuer US-Mittelstreckensysteme in Deutschland
  • Den Abbruch der Projekte zur Entwicklung eigener europäischer Hyperschallwaffen und Marschflugkörper, an denen Deutschland sich beteiligen will
  • Neue Initiativen für gemeinsame Sicherheit und Zusammenarbeit und die langfristige Vision einer neuen Friedensordnung in Europa
  • Dialog statt Aufrüstung: Eine Wiederaufnahme von Verhandlungen über Rüstungskontrolle und (nukleare) Abrüstung (z.B. für ein multilaterales Folgeabkommen zum INF-Vertrag)

Vor 50 Jahren wurde die Schlussakte von Helsinki unterzeichnet. Um die dort festgehaltenen wegweisenden Ziele zu unterstützen, fordern wir glaubwürdige Bestrebungen und die Bereitschaft aller Beteiligten, an diesen historischen Prozess anzuschließen.

Rüstungskontroll- und Abrüstungsinitiativen können aufgrund der Spannungen nicht warten – sie sind gerade jetzt notwendiger denn je. Landgestützte Mittelstreckensysteme sorgen für enorme Unsicherheiten – auf allen Seiten. Es braucht sachliche und mutige Stimmen, die deutlich machen, dass gerade in Zeiten von Spannungen Abrüstung und Rüstungskontrolle eine für uns alle überlebenswichtige Bedeutung zukommt! Wir hoffen, dass Sie im Rahmen Ihres Mandates eine dieser Stimmen sein werden.

Über die Möglichkeit zum Austausch mit Ihnen freuen wir uns.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

ZFS or LUKS/btrfs for my use case

I'd been using ZFS with Void linux on both my laptop and desktop for a couple of months. And ZFS is cool! But I'm thinking not great for my use case, especially for my laptop with it's more constrained resources. Memory usage was a real problem, even after imposing low ARC limits. And the kernel module compile time was long enough to be a bit annoying, especially for a few kernels (I like to keep the last few around, to be safe) as it happens fairly often on a rolling release.

I switched the laptop to LUKS/btrfs a couple of days ago. And I'm thinking that was the correct choice for that. And now I'm considering doing the same for my desktop. As they seem comparable but btrfs is in-kernel and seemingly more system resource friendly. But before doing so I figured I'd ask the community about it. Maybe some important factors or features for either setup that I might not be considering.

Here's the stuff I care about. All of which both offer, but I'm not an expert at either and I don't know how equal they are.

  • Disk encryption. For ZFS everything (except the EFI partition) is encrypted. I use ZFSBootMenu in this scenario. For the btrfs setup I have the kernel/initramfs on an ext2 partition. I do not store any decryption keys in the initramfs. I know grub can decrypt LUKS with limitations, but I prefer this setup. And it feels secure enough to me. Any pitfalls I'm missing?
  • Pools/subvolumes
  • Snapshots. ZFSBootmenu has an option to load a snapshot. For btrfs it looks like I'd need to create a subvolume from a snapshot, which in a recovery situation might mean doing this from recovery media. That's ok, given this is an unlikely thing to encounter. But if anyone knows of an easier way, I'd love to hear it.
  • CoW
  • RAID 1
  • Compression is nice, especially for the laptop

Edit: typo in title.

IME, btrfs is easier to work with than ZFS. It has all of the features you asked for; its RAID ≠ 0/1/10 are buggy, but 0/1/10 are considered reliable. In the past year, I heard a rumor that they were going to announced RAID > 1 to be also stable, but that's hearsay; I haven't read anything authoritative on the subject - the Arch btrfs page and the btrfs man page both still say 5/6 are not reliable.

I've been using btrfs on a variety of computers and VMs, from tiny little ODROIDS, to laptops, to VPSes, to desktops for... over a decade? I've had much better reliability than ext4. I was attracted to the POLS of the commands, vs ZFS.

I don't know how much my opinion weighs; I have a feeling a data center person would suggest ZFS as being more "enterprise". I've been really happy with it. I've been watching bcachefs for the caching and target options - really neat features useful for home gamers - but otherwise I wouldn't bother - btrfs has been solid and done everything I could want. It was a huge upgrade from mdadm and lvm in UX, and was only possible when disks got so cheap they outpaced my need for RAID5, and I could afford multiple backup drives that held years worth of nightly incremental backups.

Hearing roughly a decade of successful use, especially on systems with constrained resources, certainly makes me lean further towards btrfs.

its RAID ≠ 0/1/10 are buggy, but 0/1/10 are considered reliable.

btrfs has been solid and done everything I could want. It was a huge upgrade from mdadm and lvm


@ikidd@lemmy.world said that btrfs is poor at software RAID. I'll do a little research in to how it fares for RAID 1 vs mdadm. I don't see any reason I couldn't do mdadm>luks>btrfs if that's the better choice. But if btrfs is reliable and with comparable performance, I'd certainly rather do that.

I have no doubt ZFS is solid, too, FWIW. I leaned toward btrfs because it was simple, the commands straightforward and clear, nothing required more than one step - this is all super valuable to me because there are other things I want to spend my time on than fiddling with the filesystem.

@ikidd@lemmy.world said that btrfs is poor at software RAID.


You should check for yourself. I haven't used software RAID in years - RAID 0+1 gives me no value - but the btrfs team and Arch wiki say 0, 1, and 10 are solid. You should not use 5 or 6, as they're known to be buggy and even the btrfs man page tells you to not use it. So, yeah? btrfs is poor at RAID 5/6; to my understanding, it's good at 0/1/10.

btrfs can do encryption, compression, snapshots, and some RAID. I found combining mdadm and lvm and FS built a jenga tower, of which if part failed, the entire end result was borked. I once did an OS upgrade and lost the mdadm config, and spent two days recreating it. I never used it on a new machine after that. Separation of concerns is great, but having an all-in-one that can self repair and boot into snapshots is better.

I can't speak to performance. No doubt Toms of someone like that's looked into that in detail.

btrfs because it was simple


Personally I found ZFS far more simple. The userspace tools make more sense to me. Also I like, that volumes can have a default (relative) mount point attached. So in a recovery scenario, I simply have to open the zpool with a relative bath path, and then have all my volumes ready to go. If I want to recover a btrfs system with multiple subvolumes, I typically need to know exactly which ones and where to I have to mount (each individually).

Also I go really used to zfsbootmenu.

if you have a look at the btrfs mailing lists post that introduced RAID1c34, they were created because RAID56 were not considered viable or fixable. It's in couched language but reasonably clear. I don't think you're thinking of using those (RAID56) but don't.

Never had any btrfs problems that weren't self generated or date from a really sticky period in btrfs's history (years ago). I've used RAID56 until RAID1c34 became available and RAID10 where I could.

Haven't tried LUKS - btrfs though, although effectively no worse than putting btrfs in a VM, albeit a bit more computationally intensive.

there are well known genetic risk factors for prostate cancer, like androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification, TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion, and inactivating mutations in a variety of tumor suppressor genes. it's typically a combination of these that lead to cancer.

with symptoms of BPH it's a good idea to get a genetic screening done, but regardless of genes, there are some ways to try to mitigate BPH that don't require medical treatment.

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.

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.

Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.

Refusing vaccination is now punishable in this country, after a visit from Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab:
In #Singapore, refusing to be vaccinated is #now a criminal offence . People who say 'no' can end up in jail or receive heavy fines. Oddly enough, the amendment was passed after a visit from Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab . Coincidence? According to physician Sherri Tenpenny, this is a sign that a new "pandemic" is on the horizon.
No choice
You have to get vaccinated [during outbreaks] or you will go to jail for six months or be fined up to $5,000, Dr Tenpenny warned, speaking to Maria Zeee. “If you are a Singaporean and they say you have to take this, you have no choice.” Tenpenny also said he found it interesting that this “started after Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates visited Singapore.” She said this could be some kind of model law that they want to roll out globally in the next scare campaign.

The fight for Hungary’s future: sovereignty or subjugation?


#geopolitics #EU

Yet even without war, Magyar’s euro-integration agenda — which includes severing ties with Moscow — would devastate Hungary. Sanctions have already cost the country over 10 billion euros, spiking energy prices and inflation. With 85% of its natural gas and 60% of oil imported from Russia, a complete rupture, as Magyar demands, would trigger energy crises, market losses, deindustrialisation and economic collapse.
