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.

Japan’s agriculture minister has resigned after saying he never buys rice because he gets it free, a remark that drew public fury in a country facing soaring food prices.Taku Etō’s resignation has added to pressure on the prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, whose failure to rein in soaring rice prices and address a wider cost of living crisis has angered voters ahead of upper house elections in July.
“Just now I submitted my resignation to prime minister Ishiba,” Etō told reporters at the prime minister’s office.
Etō had faced calls for his resignation after claiming that he never had to buy rice, relying instead on gifts from supporters.
Etō had initially sympathised with the “hardship” felt by consumers after the government released about 300,000 tons of rice from emergency stockpiles earlier this year in the hope of bringing down prices. But speaking at a fundraiser last weekend, Etō said he had “never bought rice myself because my supporters donate so much to me that I can practically sell it”.

Podcast Episode · The Free Thought Project Podcast · 05/05/2025 · 54mApple Podcasts
Last week when I wanted to plan the stream and code projects I am interested in I realized, I am already doing this for 1 year!!!! Woot. Actually one year and one month according to twitch but close enough.
Since I am not quite happy about how streaming is going It's a good time to make some changes 😀
So first of all what is it that I wanted from streaming. Originally I wanted to try it out and see what I can do with it. When you can put in a lot of work into that it works quite well but now that I have a part-time Job it got less priority than before. And now that I got some statistics I can also make some observations on what people like and what actually is worth the effort of making. And when I look at my Youtube statistics of the vods it's very clear what is going on.
So some learnings from those statistics:
- My stream is to early 😀 According to twitch the Number of viewers on the English language peaks at 20:00 and thats when I stop or have already finished. So if I want to reach more viewers I definetly need to change times.
- Youtube access is mostly from the algorithm and they do not like the long form stream VOD's at all. I think I even got delisted for the last one. However the short demo's and sneak peeks do very well.
- Activitypub in Rust is a hot google search topic 😀
- Tutorials do well on youtube. So maybe I actually take some of my learnings and make som tutorials for people.
- During events it's easy to get a couple of people to drop by and have some event fun.
- SolARM streaming does well. Although I really need a Raspberry PI4 for that. Or start to bringup another Single board computer with an ARM chip.
More important for me however is: What are the types of things I like to do with Streaming and Youtube.
- Collaborate and talk to people while coding
- Share usefull information with people
- Share my progress on my projects and generally talks about the Projects.
Looking through the community of people that I follow I can see that a lot of people also still use blog posts, as opposed to Video or Audio. But I like Audio and Video. So I'll see how I can use that to make some devlogs. However I want to use streaming differently than I am using it now. Currently I have a fixed Schedule and try to work on one topic to appease the algorithm. This is however not my preffered style of working as I like having multiple projects at once and switching between them when I get inspired to do so or when my thoughts dwell on it. Thus I will be reducing the streams to special event or purpose streams on topics of interest maybe mostly on topics I want to explore and document but not actaully start a complete project. It also allows me to talk about things people find too fringe for conferences. Maybe I'll find some people that want to stream some gaming sessions but that will probably mostly be in Swiss German as that is my native language. So even for my German speaking audience that will be a challenge to understand. But if I am curious if people would like to have some Swiss gaming content.
So to summarize:
- No more fixed stream schedule
- Dedicated content for videos (thus, start less projects hopefully)
- More vlogs/blogs
- More project schowcases
- Less working on things on stream
- Meh Schwitzerdütsch?

I recently wiped Windows in favor of CachyOS, and it's been lovely! However, I have one outstanding issue that I can't seem to figure out.
To start, I have a Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX motherboard. I followed the guide on the Arch Wiki for my particular chipset.
I still can't seem to control my cooling fans.
* I have lm_sensors installed
* I installed CoolerControl
* I used modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628
* I tried adding the .conf files to /etc/modprobe.d/ and /etc/modules-load.d/
* When the steps above didn't work, I installed the it87-dkms-git package
No matter what I've tried, the only time the fan sensors get detected is when I also specify acpi_enforce_resources=lax in GRUB. From what I barely understand, that's not an option you want to leave on permanently, but perhaps y'all know better or have other ideas.
If it helps:
* Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX
* Latest CachyOS kernel
* Boot: GRUB
Edit: I have a semi-solution.
sudo modprobe it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1Also note that it should have been 0x8688 in my case, as revealed by sensors-detect.
Edit 2: Added
/etc/modules-load.d/it87.conf
it87
And
/etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf
options it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1
Unfortunately, this didn't fix it, either before or after. sensors-detect can see the ITE chipset, but it says
Trying family 'ITE'...
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688(Also, I realize that I was using the incorrect ID before, but it seemed to work anyway.)

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.

- 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.

- 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.
