“American culture instructed her to hate Palestinian kids, to see them as nonhuman, to rejoice in their destruction, and to support it," said Mizrahi. "She said no; she chose to humanize them more, and she persisted and did not succumb to immense hate and pressure. She should have our admiration forever for this. She is a hero and an icon."”

The Era Of The Business Idiot


#politics #economics #neofeudalism

The broader point I’m trying to make is that neoliberalism is inherently selfish, believing that the free market should reign supreme, bereft of government intervention, regulation or interference, thinking that somehow these terms will enable "freedom" rather than a kind of market-dominated quasi-dictatorship where our entire lives are dominated by the whims of the affluent, and that there is no institution that can possibly push back against them.
[...]
When the leader of a company doesn't participate in or respect the production of the goods that enriches them, it creates a culture that enables similarly vacuous leaders on all levels. Management as a concept no longer means doing "work," but establishing cultures of dominance and value extraction.

The anti-SMLW business (where SMLW stands for State and Market of Law and Wellbeing) must always be '...an entity created to do a thing in exchange for money —has been drained of all meaning...' (The Era Of The Business Idiot). This is the central symptom for a proper diagnosis: it reveals whether a business is neoliberal (money-driven) or communist (power-driven) — for in both cases, it has been emptied of meaning.

Note that what both Trump and Putin ultimately seek above all and above all peoples is just that: Money and Power

“Adam öldürdüm, ama katil değilim.”

Sustu toprak, ama ben susturulmadım.
Bir kurşunla değil, milyon suskunlukla döndüm
geriye.
Adımı değil, gölgemi sorguladılar.
Oysa ben, yok olan halkımın bir tanığıydım.

Yeryüzü yandı-ben sadece külleri savurdum.
Ne ellerim titredi, ne yüreğim;
çünkü bazen adalet,
bir halkın sessiz çığlığıdır.

Ben birini öldürdüm,
ama bir halkı savundum.
Ve katil değilim.

Cannes Film Festival Hit by Suspicious Power Outage Affecting the South of France

#Synology #DSM doesn't ship with the unzip command. Which sucks because that means you can't do any normal #unzipping of #files from an ssh session.

But they do ship with the 7z command. Which is good because you can use it to #unzip files from an ssh session.

I'm doing that right now.

And here's the copyright screen. The Copyright date does not make me feel good. That's 9 years ago. Oof! I don't even want to know how many #vulnerabilities have been patched and fixed in newer versions.

This is a very bad practice on Synology's part, and it's not like my NAS is super old and out of support either. It's a DS2422+ running the latest DSM version.

Here's a link to a 5-hour Congressional Hearing on April 6, 2000, on Autism and Childhood Vaccines. C-Span is the only place I could find this.

The committee chair was Rep. Dan Burton (R-Indiana), whose granddaughter nearly died after getting a Hep-B shot. His grandson becoming severely autistic after getting 9 vaccines in one day. Burton is now a lobbyist for the Church of Scientology.

The vice-chair was Rep. Henry Waxman (D-California) who was and still is a big pharma shill, and is a lobbyist for them now.

Here's how the hearing went:

  1. (00:1:37) - Opening statements by chair and vice chair. Burton's opening statement is worth watching.
  2. Parents of vaccine injured children testify.
  3. (01:52:00) - Andrew Wakefield reads a PowerPoint. Not worth watching.
  4. (02:06:00) - John O’Leary talks about using PCR in Wakefield's study. It is over my head, but maybe interesting to Dr. Jay.
  5. (02:42:30-02:48:10) - Paul Offit talks about three arguments against vaccinations. When he talks about objections to IM injection, his answer is very brief and very weak.
  6. (04:22:40) - Mary Megson talks about how she treats autistic children. I found this very interesting.

I tried to download this video from C-Span, but no luck with the software I use. I also tried to save the link to the Wayback Machine, and it did save for one day, then disappeared with an error message.

Uydurulmuş Bir İnanç, Yıkılamayan Bir Nefret

Mahmut Uzun

Sünni denilen “Türk-İslam sentezi”,
Türk’ün devlet eliyle inşa ettiği uydurulmuş bir inandır.
Tarihi ne gelenekten gelir, ne hakikatten.
Başta Aleviler olmak üzere, bu toprakların kadim inançlarına ve halklarına düşmanlıkla var olmuş,
kökü yüzyıllara uzanan bir nefret ideolojisine dönüşmüş ve tüm toplumları kendisine dönüştürmek için nice katlıyamlarını yapmış ve devletlerin tüm imkanlardan faydalanmıştır...

Alevi nefreti, bir sapma değil, bir bağnaz dinin adıdır.
İnancın değil, inkârın adıdır bu sistem.
Ve şunu açıkça söylüyorum:
Değişmesi mümkün
değildir.
Çünkü kendini var eden nefretle yaşıyor, onunla büyüdü, büyümeye devam ediyor.

Bu topraklarda hakikat isteyenler için gerçek
nettir:
Bu nefret dağılmadan, biz bir arada yaşıyamayız.

Gerçek budur.

Dağılabilirsiniz.

اصول سیزده‌گانهٔ معرفتیِ بنجامین فرانکلین


بنجامین فرانکلین، نفْس خویش را به مدد امساک و پرهیزگاری، که از دوران شباب بدان خو گرفته بود، مهار کرد و به خلوص آن همت ورزید. او فهرستی شامل سیزده روش سودمند در زمینهٔ آموزش اخلاق، که خود وی در تمام طول زندگی بدان پایبند بود، به صورت زیر تنظیم کرد:

خویشتن‌داری: شکم را تا مرز بلاهتِ شعور پُر مکن و تا مرز بی‌خودی منوش.

سکوت: سخنی بران که خود یا دیگران از آن سود گیرید؛ از سخنان بی‌ثمر پرهیز کن.

نظم و انضباط: هرچیز را در جای خود قرار ده و هر کاری را به وقت خود موقوف کن.

عزم و اراده: آنچه را باید به انجام رسد، بدان همت گمار، و آنچه را بدان اراده نموده‌ای، بدون وقفه و خلل به انجام رسان.

قناعت: از خرج کردن برای خوش‌آمدِ دیگران یا خشنودی خویش بپرهیز و چیزی را ضایع مکن.

سعی و کوشش: زمان را از دست مده، هر لحظه به کاری سودمند بپرداز، کارهای باطل را از خود دور کن.

راستی و درستی: از فریب بپرهیز، اندیشه را به عصمت و حقیقت آراسته دار و به سخن خویش پایبند باش.

عدالت: راضی به زیان دیگران مباش، مباد که بر کسان ستمی روا داری و آنان را از خیری که بدان موظفی، بی‌نصیب گردانی.

اعتدال: از تندروی پرهیز کن؛ اهانت ناروا به دیگران، که به گمان خویش، خود نیز درخور آن نیستی، روا مدار.

نظافت: ناپاکی را از تن و جامه و خانهٔ خویش بزدا.

آسایش خیال: آرام باش و از خرده‌گیری بپرهیز و از وقایع عادی و حوادث اجتناب‌ناپذیر روی درهم مکش.

عفّت: در ارضای میل جنسی اعتدال را رعایت کن؛ تنها به‌خاطر حفظ تندرستی و بقای نسل و نه تا مرز جنون و سستی، نزدیکی کن. در این راه از جرح عواطف و سلامت خود و دیگری خودداری کن و دغدغهٔ خوشنامی خویشتن را به دل داشته باش.

تواضع و فروتنی: از پیشکسوتان بزرگ، مانند عیسی مسیح و سقراط تقلید کن.

Screwed up permissions, ownership, attributes on large fs. How to reset?


I have been playing around with chmod, chown, setfacl and special bits trying to get multiple system/full users in same group correct access permissions to my media collection.

But I've messed it up somehow and now I'm having weird problems that are hard to track.

I would like to set my whole collection back to the defaults.

What is the best way to do this?

One problem I've had when making changes to so many files is the process seems to go forever without completing. Eventually it gets killed so my filesystem has variable attributes throughout. how can this be worked around?

I want everything to be owned by myuser, group media, everything else default I will sort it from there once I have a fresh slate.

And is there a way to backup these attributes only? I don't have enough storage to backup the files themselves.

It is Debian with ext4 filesystem.

Edit to add: Media collection is on its own separate drive/filesystem; this has no impact on anything else on the computer.

I'm not familiar with chacl ("change the access control list of a file or directory"). Is is similar to setfacl ("set file access control lists")? A matter of preference/habit?

It seems like -B does "Remove all ACLs". Which I guess is what I am asking for? Files on linux are OK to have no ACLs?

About the find ... {} +, I see {} +

runs the specified command on the selected files, but the command line is built by appending each selected file name at the end; the total number of invocations of the command will be much less than the number of matched files.


So does it wait until it has found all the matches to run the command as a giant batch instead of running it as it finds matches?

almost. it runs the command in batches, if you have few enough files it may only run it once. this shouldn't make it slower, but actually faster.

and yes, linux does not use ACLs by default. ~~on ext4 usage of ACLs is not even enabled by default, but only if you set it up with the right mount option~~

Plötzlich #Staatsfeind! 🎬🔥


Mein #Held heißt Imad #Karim – 1977 kam er als junger Student nach #Deutschland, geflohen vor dem #Bürgerkrieg im #Libanon. Er wurde #Filmemacher, war einst ein gefeierter Liebling des #ÖRR. Doch seit 2002 kritisiert er den politischen #Islam – und heute gehört er zu den schärfsten Kritikern der links-grünen #Diktatur!

🔴 Mein Appell: Schaut euch „Plötzlich #Staatsfeind“ an!
Ein Film, den #ImadKarim selbst finanziert hat – ohne Förderung, ohne Unterstützung. Stattdessen hat er sich verschuldet, weil der ÖRR ihn quasi verboten hat.

In einer funktionierenden Gesellschaft passen sich die Gäste dem Gastgeber an.
In Deutschland passt sich die Gesellschaft den Gästen an und verzichtet auf seine Kultur.
