ESA transmits the Blue Danube Waltz into deep space

Cebreros transmitting the Blue Danube Waltz

On 31 May 2025, the European Space Agency (ESA) made history by transmitting a live performance of The Blue Danube Waltz into space from its Cebreros deep space antenna in Spain. This symbolic gesture elevated Johann Strauss II’s famous waltz, often considered the unofficial ‘anthem of space’, to its rightful place among the stars.

Helping choosing the right linux
Hello, I got almost for free a Lenovo laptop: CPU Intel i3 8130, 4Gb RAM. I would like to use It to learn Linux. I saw some people using Arch to learn the inside out of Linux, but I'm afraid It could be to challenging. What do you suggest? What Is the best way to learn? Thank you.
Edit: First of all I thank you all for your suggestions, I think that this is what makes this community special. I installed Fedora Xfce for now and I worked all evening to male it work and customize it. I'm learning a lot already. I'll move to Arch as soon I'll feel comfortable with Fedora. Thank you all again.

I suggest Linux Mint. It has GUIs for almost everything and it's very stable. With a little bit of tinkering of the services at startup, you can get Mint to run at 700 MB of RAM (as read via htop), instead of its default ~1 GB of RAM. That could be important to fit it better at 4 GB of ram with some demanding browsing.

I disagree with anyone who might suggest Fedora or Ubuntu with 4 GB of RAM. These distros require about 2+ GB of RAM to boot up, double than that of Mint.

Then there are the distros meant for older machines that use less ram, but it's a shame to use these when your laptop is fast-enough with an 8th gen cpu (comparatively to very old machines, that is).

The lowest ram usage I've seen with a full-fledge distro/DE, is XFce with endeavourOS. I load it at 490 MB of RAM (it takes 630 MB on Mint for the same layout/apps).

Basically, your challenge is the RAM, not the CPU or the drive. Use an appropriate distro for the RAM and the difficulty you want, and always be mindful to not have too many tabs/apps open at the same time.

I commented elsewhere about endeavourOS, but I have some other wisdom to pass along.

Keep good backups of your personal files, stuff you don’t want to lose, and don’t be afraid to try something new. You dont like something about how your system is running? Nuke it and install something else. Installing Linux is a cakewalk in most distros and rarely takes longer than half an hour (your mileage may vary with the low specs on the laptop)

I’ve learned a ton about Linux by trying many different distros, breaking things, fixing things, and occasionally distro hopping to see how I like a different offering.

There’s a lot of great content on YouTube that can help you learn, and reviews of various distros so you can get an idea of how things work without having to install it yourself. Have fun and don’t be afraid to fiddle with things.

I arrived at Hamburg main station, tracks 13+14 - just where over a week ago, a mentally ill German woman injured 15 in a brutal knife attack, some severely. She was stopped by two men: a young refugee from Syria and a man from Chechnya. The press quickly dropped the case.

That had not at all been the case when a similarly ill man, but a refugee, killed two in Bavaria. For weeks, up to our elections, this tragic event was heavily exploited to push anti-migrant politics.

Honesty, and humanity.

A view down into the busy main hall of the domed main train station in Hamburg, with people milling on the platform and some ascending an escalator. A long intercity train is standing on the platform's left side. The dome is carried by massive arched steel struts.

Help me choosing a distro
I am looking for a distro with a customisable UI. I want the ability to change everything in the UI: like changing the window borders style, animated interface, creating transition animations. Something that can allow me to create UI from my favourite video games. I am even willing to learn a language if needed. Just don't suggest arch because I'm only interested in visuals. I don't want to spend time creating and troubleshooting other aspects of os. Also, if above requirements can be achieved with changing the desktop environment, please suggest that too.
I am somewhat familiar with Linux as I used it a few years ago for some time. Back then, the games' support was lacking, so I switched back. But now with steam os and proton's contribution, games shouldn't be a hassle to run.

If you want to get into customizing UIs hard, something the likes of this

You could get started with window managers (very opiniated topic, its really up to you to decide on which you should use) and UI toolkits like
- ewww
- AGS
- QuickShell

Also I know X11 is slowly dying but AwesomeWM fits your bill really nicely.

TL,DR: You want a cool UI? look at unixporn's top posts of all time, research an option you find good enough and go bananas on everything you need to make yourself at home.

ALSO consider posting at !unixporn@lemmy.ml so we can marvel at your fine grained setup, good luck!

I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well

Context:
I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate !barcelona@lemm.ee to !barcelona@piefed.social

piefed.social/c/barcelona now exists, with all the existing posts there, as well as the icon and description.

It even moved some subscribers (there are around 100 now), from what I understand those were Piefed subscribers that got automatically moved.

The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn't have show old posts (see lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.soc…), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn't have access to your old posts anyway.

This ensure that at least the posts are transferred to a community on an active instance, which is probably the main concern for lemm.ee communities at the moment.

Blaze (he/him)

At this moment, 9 out of the 10 most active communities are on LW: lemmyverse.net/communities?ord…

You have to scroll 3 times to see !television@lemm.ee, the first Lemm.ee community.

Lemm.ee was already a decentralization factor from LW, but it was still tiny in terms of communities compared to LW. Moving all of the Lemm.ee communities to Piefed.social (not that it's the case anyway, I've seen communities moving elsewhere) would keep the status quo that we were all living with.

Of course ideally over time more Piefed instances emerge, and we can spread a bit more. Also, thanks to the Piefed migration feature, we'll be able to move communities much smoother (even including subscribers).

Right, I've seen pretty much that same reply already.

I think it's a chance to learn a lesson from how and why lemm.ee is shutting down. Right now I think people are risking moving the same problem somewhere else. Sure, in theory the problem gets better with time because the tools to move around are there, but that only matters if there's somewhere to move.

It would be much more encouraging to see dozens of new piefed instances being launched/advertised. I think there's a big push towards something new because it's in the right place at the right time, and I genuinely hope it's a successful project long term. I just hope the people utilizing it are willing to support it as a platform and not just as a flagship instance.

#Palestine / 12 countries condemn forced displacement of Palestinian village in occupied West Bank

Diplomatic missions from #UK, #Germany, #France and 9 other nations issued joint statement expressing solidarity with residents of Mughayir a-Deir who were forced to abandon homes due to settler violence and Israeli authorities' failure to provide protection.

As has been common practice for years, Israeli settlers established an outpost meters from a Palestinian village. The community was forced to flee after escalating violence and threats. Seven neighboring communities have already been displaced following the same pattern. Tens of thousands in Area C face "high or imminent risk" of forcible transfer.

These countries demand Israel dismantle the outpost and allow safe return. They call this a violation of international law and demand Israel respect the prohibition on forcible transfer.

xcancel.com/FranceJerusalem/st…

**JOINT PRESS STATEMENT**
**WEST BANK, JUNE 2025**

**DIPLOMATIC STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION IN MUGHAYIR A-DEIR**

The undersigned diplomatic missions express their strong solidarity with the Palestinian community of Mughayir a-Deir. The community's long-standing residents were recently forced to abandon their homes and belongings due to escalating settler violence and a prevailing climate of impunity.

Israeli settlers have established an outpost just metres from the community, which is a clear violation of international law. Mughayir a-Deir was one of the last remaining Palestinian communities in the area. Seven neighbouring communities have already been displaced amid a broader and deeply troubling pattern of violent settler attacks and a lack of protection by the Israeli authorities.

We therefore urge the Israeli authorities to dismantle the outpost immediately and to take urgent and effective measures to enable the safe return of the displaced residents. It is imperative that the community is protected from further violence and intimidation.

Mughayir a-Deir is not an isolated case—it reflects a broader pattern of displacement in Area C of the West Bank, where a coercive environment marked by repeated settler violence, movement restrictions, land confiscation, demolitions and inadequate access to essential services is making life unbearable and pushing communities to leave. Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Area C face a high or imminent risk of forcible transfer. This alarming trend gravely undermines prospects for a just and lasting peace.

We call on Israel to respect its obligations under international law, including the prohibition of forcible transfer. We also reaffirm our clear and consistent opposition to settlements, which are illegal under international law. We emphasise Israel's responsibility to protect all Palestinian communities in Area C.

@WesternDemocracies You should all face up to the fact, that your total moral abdication from the atrocities preformed by the Israeli fascists IS A SCANDAL AND AN EPIC MISTAKE, and take affirmative action that forces Israel to stop the war and the Gaza genocide, and will compel them to abide by international law and UN resolutions, but instead you all just talk cheap, and continues to profit from the war by selling armaments to the Israeli fascists...It seems that the leaders and their sycophant governments in these western socalled democracies all have a beginning twitc in their right arms!
