So, how does the B-2 strike on Fordow compare to other long distance bombing runs? Turns out it isn't the longest mission flown by a B-2 without touching down. That would appear to be this one at 44.3 hours unless anyone has other info.

The B-2 has two crew and they both have to be in their seats at critical points such as refueling, but there is some sort of small cot arrangement, so the crew basically take power naps.

The convicted fraud withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal because of spite, ignorance, or both.

Trump created the problem. The single reason Iran was so close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is that Trump destroyed the diplomatic agreement that put major, verifiable constraints on their nuclear program.

"MSM doing a bang-up job right now of ignoring the fact that a criminal POTUS unilaterally declared war and instead focusing on Iran’s nuclear capabilities which had a deal w/USA until same criminal pulled out of it because it was achieved under Obama. Trump is a threat to peace everywhere."

A Quiet Roar - Simpler Times


***aquietroar.bandcamp.com/track/…

Simpler times with a simpler mind
Unburdened shoulders, lighter, quicker and bolder

It was better years with fewer fears
Innocence reigning, with less aching and straining

Just as joyful as can be, when it made sense to me
Fleeting through time, frictions and burns now to be alive
Oh, take me back to when hope had no end

Looking back I see the cracks
That formed and widened as I somehow grew silent

But before the fall I do recall
A happier version, almost a different person

Just as joyful as can be, when it made sense to me
Fleeting through time, frictions and burns now to be alive
Oh, take me back to then, when hope had no end

My "feelings" are that we are reaching beyond the past and the future into the SPACE where all potentials exist and within that SPACE our "optimism or pessimism" is imprinting whatever we experience in our immediate, social and global "experiences of our individual lives". diaspora.psyco.fr/posts/117754…

None of it is "right or wrong per normal human understanding" and yet, if we can transcend the polarities of "thought, conditioned mind" then maybe we can enter the SPACE of TRANSCENDENCE which is the HEALING FORCE!

When we enter that SPACE, time no longer has control, so a BLIP (which might be 30 seconds or 1 hour) can have HEALING POWER that can neutralize aeons of misery, if only within our own psyches. Then consider the "effect of that 30 seconds or 1 hour"?

I fess up, I am far from perfect and I don't know that perfection exists in any kind of "human experience". The only thing we can guarantee is that change is the constant and yet within each of us also EXISTS THE UNCHANGEABLE! That's the mystery 🙏

Israelis expressed relief and optimism Sunday after US President Donald Trump ordered air strikes on Iran, 10 days into a war that has widespread public support.

Despite daily nerve-shredding trips to bomb shelters and growing damage around the country, Israelis appeared united behind PM Netanyahu's move to attack Iran on June 13.

If you don't understand why the US is doing something, if you are confused and think "it makes no sense..." you are not undereducated on foreign policy.

You are correct. It makes no sense. Stop looking for what just isn't there.

"Surly they would never-"

"No. They would. And they have before."

Don't waste time in this particular way.

So, it looks like the US B-2's flew east across the Atlantic and the Pacific bound bombers were just a head-fake. I'd point out that pretty much every country en route would have seen the tanker brigade and understood what it signified. In short, a whole lot of highly placed people along the flight path in the EU and North Africa and Mediterranean knew that the US was about to attack Iran and overflew their territorial airspace and said bupkis.

@HarriettMB International law and restraint is a completely dead letter at this point with no practical enforcement or adherence even by the leaders of those nations who claim to champion it. All that matters at this point is what you can do to defend yourself. Iran has 6+ tons of enriched Uranium and very little reason not to leverage it every way they can at this point.
in reply to HarriettMB

@HarriettMB I have no more reason to worry about my personal safety than anyone else, but the world is taking some decided turns toward naked imperial aggression by the majors powers and the weapons of war have gotten so much worse than what the first two world wars were fought with. The world is in a very unsettled state of not-peace at the moment and nations are turning to the Last Argument of Kings as the only argument that speaks loudly. To say I'm disquieted is a profound understatement.
in reply to Infoseepage

The populations in so many countries are deeply upset about all this, but when they raise objections or protest peacefully they are being arrested, criminalised, and in some cases their association is being proscribed as terrorist. You only have to look at what ICE are doing in the USA, and what Starmer/Badenoch are doing and saying in the UK to see this. Germany is by no means innocent in this either. Our governments are ignoring the voice of their peoples and enforcing a very dangerous agenda. In the end it won’t protect those in the governments, as history has repeatedly shown.

Strange cAdvisor Issue


So, recently I spun up cAdvisor to provide some metrics for the Grafana dashboard. I created both the docker-compose.yml and prometheus.yml thusly:

prometheus.yml:

scrape_configs:
- job_name: cadvisor
  scrape_interval: 5s
  static_configs:
  - targets:
    - cadvisor:8080

services:
  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus:latest
    container_name: prometheus

    depends_on:

  redis:

    container_name: redis
    ports:

:::

Placed them both in /tmp/cadvisor/ and ran docker compose up. All well and good, got some metrics to feed Grafana and all would seem jippity jippity.

Next day I notice Prometheus is off line. Hmm, check everything out. Logs complaining of a missing prometheus.yml. On a hunch I recreated the above prometheus.yml and placed it back in /tmp/cadvisor/, restart Prometheus, and it fires right up no runs, no drips, no errors. Before I uploaded the new prometheus.yml, I notice that there is a directory now named prometheus.yml in /tmp/cadvisor/, which is empty. Deleted it.

Next day, same scenario. Missing prometheus.yml, directory called prometheus.yml in /tmp/cadvisor/. I thought well, if it's getting deleted, change the permissions, and continued my daily affairs.

Today, same exact scenario. So, wtf, over? Run some commands:

stat /tmp/cadvisor/prometheus.yml
sudo lsof /tmp/cadvisor/prometheus.yml
grep "delete" /var/log/syslog

I can see that the file IS being deleted, but I cannot seem to trace down what is deleting it. It's like there is a cron job that fires off every day at a certain time and deletes prometheus.yml, and in it's place, creates a directory called prometheus.yml effectively taking Prometheus offline. I have no such cron job tho.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Ancient wizardry? Any mystical incantations or tomes to consult?

The United States has bombed Iran.
The main reason why Trump took this decision is that Israel, as the days went by, was in an increasingly difficult situation. The first reason is the progressive exhaustion of the Arrow 3 missiles, the only ones capable of countering Iran's ballistic missiles. Israel does not have enough Arrow 3 missiles for a war with Iran that exceeds ten days.

Hacı Bektaş: Kemalist Aklın Tarihsel Temsilcisidir

Mahmut Uzun

Günümüzde kimi çevreler, Hacı Bektaş’ı barışın, hoşgörünün ve halkın sesi olarak tanıtmaya çalıştılar, çalışıyor.
Oysa hakikat, bu resmi anlatının çok uzağındadır. Benim bu konudaki kanaatim açık ve
nettir:
Hacı Bektaş, devletin devşirme, Türkleştirme ve asimilasyon politikalarının tarihsel köklerinden
biridir. O, bir “halk önderi” değil, halkın inancını törpüleyen, aidiyetini dönüştüren ve devletin çıkarlarına göre biçimlendirilmiş bir
figürdür.

Hacı Bektaş, Anadolu topraklarında halkla buluşmuş bir inanç figürü değil; sarayın gölgesinde kurgulanmış bir devlet projesidir. Osmanlı’dan Cumhuriyet’e uzanan çizgide, Bektaşilik çoğu zaman sistemin ihtiyaç duyduğu “ılımlı”, “kontrollü” ve “sahte muhalefet”in taşıyıcısı olmuştur.
Nasıl ki bugün Kemalistler halkçı söylemlerle faşist pratiklerini meşrulaştırıyorsa, Hacı Bektaş da geçmişte benzer bir işlev görmüştür: İnancı devlete göre biçimlemek, halkı merkeze sadakatle eğitmek ve her türlü farklılığı eritmek ve yok etmek için mücadele etmiştir...

Bugün birçoğu, Hacı Bektaş’ı anlamadan, sorgulamadan, sadece kültürel bir ikon gibi sahipleniyor... Onu bir “barış” sembolü gibi sunmak, asıl olarak tarihsel işlevini görünmez kılmak içindir. Ama bizler biliyoruz: Ne o dönemde, ne bugün, halkların özgürlüğüne hiç bir katkı sunmamıştır. Ne Aleviler, ne Kürtler, ne de diğer ezilen halklar ondan hiç bir fayda görülmemiştir. Aksine, kimliksizleştirilmenin, hafızasızlaştırılmanın ve teslimiyetin öncüsü olmuş, öncülerindendir.

Bugünün Kemalistleri nasıl ki devletin resmi tarih anlatısıyla halkları yeniden dizayn etmeye çalışıyorsa, Hacı Bektaş da kendi zamanında aynı görevi üstlenmiştir. Bu yüzden diyorum:
Hacı Bektaş günümüzün Kemalistidir.

O’nu tanımayanlara, hâlâ “aydınlanma” figürü sananlara önerim şudur:
Hacı Bektaş’ı okuyun, tanıyın. Ama onun satır aralarında değil; onun kime hizmet ettiğine, hangi iktidar tarafından yüceltildiğine, kime karşı konumlandığına bakın.

Benim bu konudaki görüşüm açıktır:
Hacı Bektaş ne geçmişte, ne de bugün halklarımıza bir fayda sunmuştur. Uzak durulması gereken bir devlet aklı temsilcisidir.

Israeli analyst Akiva Elder expressed concerns over US strikes on Iran, noting most politicians praised Trump while ignoring long-term consequences.

He cited opposition leader Yair Golan’s warning that wars require political solutions, unlike Israel’s unresolved conflicts since 1967.

Elder feared regime change could lead to chaos akin to Iraq and Libya, questioning Netanyahu’s "total victory" obsession in Gaza and Iran.

France 24’s Jerusalem correspondent Noga Tarnopolsky says two nationalist Israeli government ministers have barred foreign media from accessing sites hit by Iranian missiles without first getting authorisation from the military censor.

Earlier this week, Israeli police stormed the offices of foreign TV news teams following their coverage of missile strikes in the Haifa region, which reportedly hit sensitive military sites.

Gov. Greg Abbott signs bill requiring Ten Commandments to be displayed in Texas classrooms


Texas will require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a new law that will make the state the nation's largest to attempt to impose such a mandate.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Saturday that he signed the bill, which is expected to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state.

A similar law in Louisiana was blocked when a federal appeals court ruled Friday that it was unconstitutional. Arkansas also has a similar law that has been challenged in federal court.

I don't think they're saying they know better.

To which your response is to take the opportunity to talk shit about GNOME and disregard his meaning, which kinda illustrates his point.

The measurement of success isn't the hours put into it. I will continue to bash Gnome because no matter how much hours the devs put and no matter how much they believe they know better, their products sucks all kinds of balls, and that kind of it. I don't have any underlying agenda or double meaning behind it. The product is shit. You made a lot of effort and put a lot of labour in it. This, unfortunately, means you put a lot of labour into shit.
