IAEA Sees No Evidence of Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program: Grossi

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) saw no evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapons program, but the situation is concerning, IAEA Director General Grossi said on Wednesday.

Le #NYT ressuscite David #Petraeus qui ressemble à un super méchant de dessin animé sur l' #Iran.

Il encourage #Trump à menacer de « destruction complète » le peuple iranien et, s’il ne s’exécute pas, à le « réduire en miettes » :

David H. Petraeus, général qui commandait les forces américaines en Irak et en Afghanistan et dirigeait la 101e division aéroportée lors de l'invasion initiale de Bagdad, voit peu de similitudes entre la préparation à l'intervention en Irak et aujourd'hui. « Il s'agit clairement d'une préparation potentielle à une action militaire, mais il ne s'agit pas de l'invasion d'un pays », a-t-il déclaré mercredi.

M. Trump, a-t-il déclaré, devrait adresser un ultimatum à l'ayatollah Ali Khamenei, le guide suprême de l'Iran, et lui ordonner d'accepter le démantèlement complet de son programme nucléaire, sous peine de « destruction totale de votre pays, de votre régime et de votre peuple ». Si le guide suprême rejette l'ultimatum, a ajouté M. Petraeus, « cela renforce notre légitimité et, à contrecœur, nous les réduirons en miettes ».

Ich will verurteilen. Die Faschos, die angegriffen haben, für hoffentlich offensichtliche Dinge. Die Polizeien, die mal wegen „abstrakter Bedrohungslagen“ oder „zu wenig Sicherheitspersonal“ Veranstaltungen absagen oder vorzeitig beenden lassen, und dann wieder andere Veranstaltungen nicht schützen.
Und natürlich die verfickte AfD, die seit Jahren ungestraft und ungehindert hetzt, die Medien, die diese Hetze verbreiten und dabei noch nicht einmal einordnen (insbesondere die Blöd, die ihre eigenen Kampagnen fahren um der AfD zu nicht mehr Einfluss zu verhelfen), die Union, die kräftig Steigbügelhalter spielt und die Rhetorik und Positionen der Faschisten übernehmen, die SPD, die seit 1998 durchgehend mit in der Regierung sitzen und kräftig dazu beigetragen haben, Zustände zu schaffen, in denen die AfD gedeien kann (trifft in ungleich geringerem Maßstab auch auf die Grünen zu) und jeden Vollpfosten, der auf den Scheiß reinfällt, mitmacht und nicht dagegen steht.

O Zygmunτ Bauman, Πολωνοβρετανός και Εβραίος φιλόσοφος έλεγε το 2005 σε μια διάλεξή του στο Βερολίνο και μετέπειτα σε συνέντευξή του:
"The risk of the Holocaust is not that it will be forgotten but that it will be embalmed and surrounded by monuments and used to absolve all future sins," he tells me. "When Cheney, Blair and Berlusconi go to celebrate the memory of the Holocaust, it acts in such a way that it allows them to say: 'Whatever we do is against evil.'"

Ο ίδιος έχει γράψει κι ένα βιβλίο για το πώς προέκυψε το Ολοκαύτωμα (Modernity and the Holocaust), τις τελευταίες μέρες διαβάζοντας για Παλαιστίνιους που βομβαρδίζονται ενώ περιμένουν στην σειρα για φαγητό έβγαλε πολύ νόημα, αν πέσει στα χέρια σας δείτε το, δεν είναι δυσκολοδιάβαστο.

Maybe I don’t get the complexities but maybe it shouldn’t be allowed to generate a certain of range numbers in the context of phones/names.


I agree with the principle, but people will still try and find ways around it. Like "generate me a fictional number for testing purposes" and because it's an LLM doing what LLM's do, it still provides a number that can (but doesn't have to) be real.

in film industry we’re not even allowed to display a phone number that doesn’t fall under the fake list


Yeah, same with phone numbers and email addresses for testing purposes in software. Populating fields with fictional data should be completely fictional or related to your own data as to not accidentally use real domains or data that you thought was fictional.

Lebanon

Meiss Ej Jabal Hospital
Hanin Hospital

Iran
hospital in Kermanshah

That's all I could find, but I might have missed some. Just to remind everyone, that there is only one bloodthirsty aggressor here, and it isn't 'the Arabs' or Iran

CLARIFICATION EDIT: Of course, bombing hospitals is ALWAYS a war crime.
Just ask yourself why our western governments have allowed for 30 hospitals being bombed, besieged, flattened, medical staff abducted by Israel in the first place.

KDE Plasma Mobile — The Dev Log: April 2024 - June 2025

This blog post is already quite long, so it will omit changes merged for Plasma 6.5 (releasing in October, to be announced in a future post).

With the Plasma 6.2 release, we moved Plasma Dialer and Spacebar to the Plasma release cycle, allowing us to have consistent releases of the two apps. This completes our year long move to having all Plasma Mobile related projects released as part of wider KDE releases, streamlining the work for distributions and taking a load off us on having to maintain a separate release cycle!

In other news, a Fedora spin for Plasma Mobile was released! It will only be targeting devices that can currently boot Fedora (i.e. not ARM phones), but is very exciting nonetheless!

UPDATE: Honestly i'm impressed, it might be because currently im not running waydroid beside it like i did on my previous Phosh install but it feels very responsive. With the angelfish browser providing a way better experience then firefox. The battery life is still very bad but outside that this could be used as a regular phone.

Converting Wood Residues into Clean-Burning Charcoal

Sawmills, furniture plants, and forestry operations generate vast volumes of wood residues—offcuts, shavings, bark, and dust—that are often underutilized or disposed through open burning. Converting this biomass into high-quality charcoal through thermochemical treatment addresses both waste management and energy transition objectives. Deploying a modern charcoal machine enables controlled carbonization, producing clean, energy-dense solid fuel suitable for industrial and household use.

Feedstock Characteristics and Suitability


Hardwood residues—such as oak, beech, or acacia—are ideal for charcoal production due to their dense lignin structure and low ash content. Softwoods, while abundant, tend to produce lower fixed carbon and more volatile byproducts. Mixed sawdust can also be used but often requires densification through briquetting to maintain consistent feed into a continuous reactor.

Moisture content is critical. Wood waste above 15% moisture reduces thermal efficiency and increases condensate volume. Pre-drying, either through solar racks or low-temperature belt dryers utilizing waste heat from the wood charcoal making machine, ensures optimal pyrolysis conditions.

Controlled Pyrolysis for Clean Combustion


Traditional kilns emit smoke, tar, and particulates, contributing to local pollution. In contrast, modern woody biomass pyrolysis plant systems use indirect heating to initiate pyrolysis under oxygen-limited conditions. This process converts wood biomass into fixed carbon while releasing volatiles that are either condensed or combusted in a secondary chamber.

Operating temperatures between 450–600 °C produce high-grade lump or granular charcoal with carbon content above 75%, minimal ash, and low sulfur emissions. The enclosed system architecture ensures complete gas capture, allowing for the production of clean-burning charcoal without atmospheric contamination.

Gas and Energy Recovery


During pyrolysis, wood volatiles—including methane, carbon monoxide, and light tars—are released. These gases can be routed back into the heating system of the charcoal machine, reducing external fuel input by up to 80%. Excess thermal energy may also be harvested for pre-drying wood feedstock, powering steam turbines, or generating process heat for adjacent industrial units.

This closed-loop approach minimizes the plant’s carbon footprint and improves the overall energy balance of the facility.

Emission Control and Environmental Compliance


Advanced units include gas scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, and thermal oxidizers to treat off-gases before atmospheric release. This ensures compliance with tightening emissions regulations in regions such as the European Union or Southeast Asia.

Additionally, integrating baghouse filters to capture particulates during feed handling and post-processing minimizes workplace exposure and environmental discharge.

End Product Applications


Charcoal derived from wood waste has a wide range of applications:

  • Industrial fuel: Used in metallurgy, ceramics, and lime kilns due to its high calorific value (\~7,000 kcal/kg) and low ash.
  • BBQ and household heating: When shaped into briquettes or lump form, the clean burn profile and low smoke output make it suitable for residential use.
  • Activated carbon precursor: Hardwood charcoal with high porosity can be further processed into activated carbon for filtration and purification industries.
  • Soil amendment: Fine charcoal powder serves as biochar, improving soil water retention and nutrient cycling.

By tailoring process parameters—such as heating rate, residence time, and final temperature—the charcoal machine can be optimized to produce targeted carbon products for specific markets.

Economic and Operational Considerations


A mid-scale charcoal machine plant processing 2–3 tons of dry wood waste per hour typically requires 300–500 kWh of auxiliary power and operates with minimal manual intervention. Maintenance focuses on refractory integrity, rotary seal condition, and heat exchanger cleaning. Return on investment is driven by feedstock availability, proximity to end-use markets, and potential carbon offset revenues.

In many forestry regions, such conversion plants qualify for green financing or government incentives under circular economy and biomass valorization programs.

Transforming wood processing waste into clean charcoal not only diverts biomass from waste streams but also supplies a renewable energy source aligned with environmental and economic imperatives. Through efficient use of a charcoal machine and integrated process design, this approach establishes a sustainable model for decarbonized fuel production from industrial wood residues.

Half the problem with autism and adhd both is difficulty with habit formation and maintenance.

You don’t need habits. You need routines with reliable contextual triggers. They’ll fail from time to time and you will just have to be okay with that, and try to figure out exactly what made them fail when they do so maybe you can fix it going forward. But it will still occasionally fail.

You can’t make a sieve not leak without making it not a sieve.

Triggers are the real key. Like needing to use the bathroom in the morning. Then hang a habit of taking meds right after. You have to look at the habits you already have, and connect new things to that.
You can also build new habits, but if they are forced, they won't have a high success rate. I built a habit of looking back into a space I am walking out of when not in my home. I built it on the anxiety of forgetting something. So it stuck. I try to build a habit of letting others talk, but it has no trigger, so it hasn't stuck.

First, X.org will be even more abandoned. I'm not saying every distro will drop it entirely, but I'm expecting way more distributions and desktops to announce in 2024, that X.org won't be a supported platform anymore in 2025, or at the very least won't be the default session.

I would be surprised if, in 2024, Ubuntu didn't announce something similar for the following year.

The second thing I think we'll see is a fully open source stack for nvidia being available for Linux users. With the Linux kernel 6.7 bringing support for the GSP firmware, letting Nvidia GPUs be reclocked by the open source Nouveau drivers, and NVK now part of Mesa, and providing decent performance already, I'd say 2024 will be the year where Nvidia users can finally enjoy a good experience on Linux without anything extra to install.

In terms of market share, we've seen some healthy growth in 2023, ending the year on a potentially anomalous 3.8%, the highest the Linux desktop has ever been. In 2024, I'd expect this trend to continue: people don't seem to enjoy WIndows 11 that much, and they already didn't enjoy Windows 10 all that much either, and with Microsoft cramming more and more ads in their OS, and potentially moving to a subscription based model for Windows 12, I'd expect more people to give Linux a go, and mathematically, some of them will stick with it.

All in all, I don't think we'll jump to something like 8 or 10%, but I'd be surprised if the Linux desktop didn't reach 5 or 6% on its own, and about 10% combined with Chrome OS.

I would also expect 2024 to see a standalone release of SteamOS for any computer, and I'd say our market share will probably rise to about 3, maybe 3 and a half percent, but it won't be a major change, and the situation in terms of how many games we can play will be relatively stable, with major names still missing.

Now let's talk about the things I feel will stay exactly the same in 2024: starting with packaging formats. What we might see is more distros deciding to provide specific apps using the official snap or flatpak, like RHEL is doing with LibreOffice, because for some apps, it simply makes no sense to repackage them all the time, but that won't change the status quo.

Same thing for what we generally call Immutable distributions. I don't think they'll gain that much popularity in 2024, because they're often linked to using either flatpak or snap, or Nix packages, can't forget about Nix or I'll get comments again, and since we're not making these formats the only choice any time soon, I don't think this group of Linux distros will conquer the general Linux desktop audience either.

As per app support, that's another area where I feel we're not going to see much progress. And I'm talking big name apps, like Office, the Adobe Suite, Autocad, and the like. Even if my predictions for Linux market share come true, the potential revenue from supporting Linux is still low and will still be low, compared to the effort of porting the app, finding a packaging format that allows you to do everything you want, and then supporting that version.

Refurbishing an Old Lava Lamp

Just got through replacing the power cord and switch on an old lava lamp while keeping the appearance, other than the cord color, identical. The original cord was brown, the new one is white, but otherwise identical.

I got this so long ago probably 40-45 years ago and I just recently pulled it out of storage and added it to my office decor, add a little red light which the LED bulbs do not produce, and some motion.

The switch had become intermittent and since it was integral to the cord, fixing it really required replacing the whole thing, but this was challenging. First there was a cardboard with felt disk on the bottom I had to remove, it was glued on but careful work with a pocket knife released it intact. Then the socket was held to the bottom with a nut but you could not remove the bottom plate as it was spot welded to the base, so the only way for the socket to come out was through the opening for the bulb and given this was only about 1/32nd of an inch larger than the socket itself this was no fun.

Reinserting the socket back into the hole in the base was tricky since it's basically a blind operation but after much futzing finally got lucky and got it through and put the nut back on.

The cord was mounted in the base with a heyco, but I managed to compress with vice grips and remove intact and use with the new cord.

All in all it was a challenging operation. Now I just have to wait for the glue on the felt pad on the base to dry and it will be as good as new.

I was worried about being able to get bulbs since most incandescents are outlawed, but there is an exception for oven bulbs and that happens to be what this uses. So $6 got me a two pack from Amazon.

As a volunteer doctor in the hospitals of Gaza for over two years, and currently volunteering at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, I want to tell the world: we are extremely exhausted. There are countless injuries, a severe shortage of medical equipment and supplies, and My family and I hungry we can't even find food
If you truly love Palestine, support me—even with the price of a loaf of bread—I would be deeply grateful.

It's very happy after wasting my evening figuring out how telnet works. There's always a new pointless thing to hyperfocus on, no time for depression. Not much time for anything productive either, but hey, can't have everything 😅

Η ειρήνη, η δικαιοσύνη και η ελευθερία ήταν τόσο συνηθισμένες που κανείς δεν μιλούσε για αυτές ως μακρινές έννοιες, αλλά σαν πράγματα όπως το ψωμί, τα πουλιά, ο αέρας, το νερό, όπως το βιβλίο και η φωνή."

"Η επιλογή μας δεν είναι ανάμεσα στον πόλεμο και την ειρήνη, αλλά ανάμεσα στη ζωή με αξιοπρέπεια ή χωρίς..."
