Premature infants at Nasser Medical Complex in #KhanYounis are facing life-threatening conditions as severe malnutrition sets in.
The #Gaza Strip has run out of vital infant formula due to the ongoing Israeli blockade and the complete closure of border crossings, preventing the entry of critical medical supplies. Doctors warn that the lives of these vulnerable newborns hang in the balance.

Europe's far right is growing in both Eastern and Western Europe. Economic crisis, austerity, and historical revisionism are contributing factors with decades of austerity, deindustrialization, and corporate domination having devastated working-class communities.
Meanwhile, pervasive anti-communism, encouraged at the EU level, is distorting history and delegitimizing socialism as a viable alternative.
After a week of anticipation, the U.S. struck Iran's nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran accuses the U.S. of "betraying diplomacy" and violating international law and the UN Charter.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud #olmert
- American bombing of Iranian facilities changes the rules of the game
- It is arrogance and unrealistic to think that preemptive strikes will bring to its knees a country with 90 million inhabitants and a heritage spanning thousands of years
- American bombing postpones, even if temporarily, the danger of Iran's nuclear program but its repercussions will be broader
- Iran will not collapse even after the very painful American strike, and we must not forget that it still possesses a powerful arsenal of missiles.

Keeping Grove cranes operational can be pricey, especially when replacing parts. Whether you’re running a single crane or managing a fleet, negotiating with a crane parts supplier can stretch your budget further. Here’s a guide to securing the best deals.
Before you contact a crane parts supplier, know your requirements: exact part number, crane model, and any compatible alternatives. Being prepared signals you’re a serious buyer, streamlining talks and boosting your negotiating power.
Tip: Log all Grove crane parts replacements to track wear and simplify future orders.
Price matters, but don’t fixate on the lowest quote. Get prices from at least two or three crane parts suppliers and compare:
A bargain part can cost more if it fails fast. Use other quotes to negotiate, but don’t sacrifice reliability for savings.
Ordering multiple Grove crane parts or planning regular purchases? Ask about bulk discounts. Suppliers often hold back these offers unless you inquire. Try:
“Can you cut me a deal if I add a seal kit to this order?”
If your company runs several cranes, mention it—loyal customers often get better rates.
Not every repair needs a new part. Rebuilt Grove crane parts can perform well at a fraction of the cost, especially for older cranes or minor systems. Always request a warranty and rebuild records. Vague answers? That’s a red flag.
Stick with a couple of trusted crane parts suppliers for long-term benefits. As they get to know you, they might:
Stay professional and clear to build a relationship that pays off.
Suppliers may pitch aftermarket or alternative Grove crane parts to save money. Verify these with your crane’s manual or a mechanic. A solid supplier will suggest reliable substitutes, but steer clear of cheap parts that won’t last.
Got time to spare? Let the supplier know:
“I can wait a bit—any chance for a better price on a later delivery?”
This gives them wiggle room to lower costs.
Need it fast? You’ll pay more, but still ask:
“What’s your best price for a rush job?”
They might have stock they want to move.
Clarify payment terms before sealing the deal. Paying upfront? Ask for a small discount. Using credit or net-30? Get it in writing to avoid hiccups. Clear terms keep things smooth and show you’re on top of things.
If the price is too steep or the supplier’s shady—vague terms, no warranty—walk away. Plenty of reputable crane parts suppliers exist. Don’t risk a bad part or deal.
Suppliers expect you to haggle. Come prepared, stay polite, and you’ll likely land better prices on Grove crane parts while building ties with suppliers. Smart negotiating keeps your cranes—and your wallet—in good shape.

TLDR: While Linux is less susceptible to malware in some ways, it mostly boils down to Linux having a more technically minded userbase whereas Windows is a "mainstream" operating system.
Most Windows malware nowadays come from social engineering scams (complete this "captcha" by pressing Windows+R and pasting in this powershell script we conveniently put in your clipboard) or untrusted third party installers because Windows doesn't natively have a package manager. Like others have said, the old school self-propagating worms and drive by downloads that activate just by clicking on a link aren't really possible anymore (outside of state actors with unlimited budgets to buy zero days) unless your system or browser is horrifically outdated.
In terms of social engineering, Linux is not necessarily better at preventing it than Windows. In fact, sudo in Linux will unquestioningly delete the kernel and system software or make unlimited changes to them. Windows, for better or for worse (tbh more worse than better), uses TrustedInstaller to limit access to system files. Windows 11 won't easily let you delete or modify System32 for example, even if you're an admin. So it's in theory easier to do more damage to your system on Linux if you don't know what you're doing. But if someone is using Linux full time, they're most likely technical enough to not be fooled into running random untrusted bash commands. The biggest thing is to be careful with those Linux terminal tutorial sites that have a "add to clipboard" button, they can put literally anything into your clipboard, including an enter key to run the script as soon as you put it in your terminal (though this may or may not be possible depending on your terminal app). Actually, they don't even need you to use their copy button. They can just set an event listener for control-C anywhere on their site and automatically replace the clipboard content. Just double check everything you copy before running it, especially since there's a lot of times where Linux users have to rely on obsecue tutorials hosted on untrusted websites.
You also don't really need to run untrusted installers on Linux because almost everything you need is in a properly moderated software repository, be it your native package manager, Flatpak, or Snap. Everything is signed by the authors and has a ton of eyes from the open source community on it. The only things to look out for is compiling something from GitHub, random AppImages, random Elf binaries, and last but not least random third party repositories that can be added as an installation source to your package manager/Flatpak/Snap. Basically, Linux gets most of its "doesn't get malware" reputation from the same place Mac does: you rarely have to manually download and run an executable from a random website, which is the norm on Windows. Add to the fact that even when that's needed, the Linux userbase is more technical and is more able to discern which sources are reputable and which are suspicious.
Another major source of malware is pirated versions of Windows or untrusted "license activators" from the internet. This just isn't a problem on Linux because there's no license to activate and it's free to begin with so there's nothing to pirate. And again, if someone is running Linux, they're probably technical enough to know not to run random pirated versions of paid software to begin with, helped by the fact that the vast majority of paid software is Windows only.
that Wayland’s design does make it more difficult for a user-mode program to act maliciously,
Sorry, can you tell me more about this?

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
Nextcloud If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.
Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.
Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.
Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.
E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security[color]
Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.
[color=darkblue]Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.
We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.
All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.
Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).
Alma.Eskimo.Com
This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid.
Anduinos.Eskimo.Com
Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others.
Debian.Eskimo.Com
This server is running on Debian Bullseye. It has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded.
Fedora.Eskimo.Com
This server runs Fedora Rawhide. It can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed.
Kali.Eskimo.Com
Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites.
Manjaro.Eskimo.Com
Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed.
Mint.Eskimo.Com
This is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu.
MxLinux.Eskimo.Com
MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS.
PopOS.Eskimo.Com
PopOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others.
Rocky8.Eskimo.Com
Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.
Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com
This is the latest stable Ubuntu release. It can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools.
Zorin.Eskimo.Com
Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.
Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.

Thank you for stopping by our little community. It is inspiring to hear how others recognize and process the events of our time.
Makes me hopeful that action at community levels, both in person and digital, can continue to grow and impart positive change at a larger scale.
what a beauty!

Top Ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Iran:
1. That the Iranians want to be bombed
2. That the guy bombing Iran wants peace
3. That regime change interventionism is a swell idea this time
4. That anyone who doesn't want war with Iran hates Jews
5. That this time the government and the media are telling us the truth about an American war
6. That this time the neocons are smart and correct
7. That bombing Iran makes it LESS likely to try to obtain nukes

If it were real facts we'd just call them facts.
If it were real medicine we'd just call it medicine.
If it were real news we'd just call it news.
That's a good point about alternative rock. I changed the title from usually to sometimes, maybe usually was too much.
I've never thought about the word alternative being synonymous with progressive, I tend of think of as meaning against the grain or against the mainstream but in practice sometimes it just means bullshit like in the title. For example RT calls themselves "alternative media" but they're really just propaganda slop.
The crisis facing imperialist domination by the United States and its allies will not be resolved by opening new theaters of war or by attempting to impose a heightened neocolonial order on the peoples of the world. The decline of US power is undeniable, as emerging powers leave it behind in fields such as production, trade, technology, and the military; therefore, the tariff war launched by Trump has remained limited in scope. And for this very reason, the American power resembles an aggressive giant with “feet of clay,” relentlessly attacking the Palestinian people and now declaring war on the Islamic Republic of Iran.
When capitalism as a system entered into crisis, it invented neoliberal globalization, which, after decades of application, leaves the planet devastated and billions of people impoverished and excluded, allowing a few super-rich to become even richer. A planetary crisis that is being resisted in multiple struggles and in every corner of the world, with rebellions facing extinction, to which this system of death drags us. In its attempt to stifle resistance and rebellions, the empire launches wars in all directions, which may have a fate similar to the publicized tariff war.
On our continent, the imperialist plan imposes regimes of hunger and repression in Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, Paraguay, and Peru, while most nations seek their own path, contrary to US neocolonial domination. Meanwhile, in Colombia, the internal conflict follows the empire’s plan to keep us in an eternal war, with which it attempts to overwhelm the search for peace with social justice.
Today, as the old regime strives to prevent reforms that benefit the population and threatens to intensify repression against social protest and those of us who propose national proposals that serve the majority, it is imperative to call on society to formulate and commit to the structural changes that must lift Colombia out of the centuries-old crisis it has endured. This is a path to a political solution to the conflict, one that is distinct from the neocolonial order that Trump is determined to maintain and consolidate.
