Shell Accounts

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.

Available Shell Servers

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
Debian Bullseye 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
Fedora Rawhide 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
Mint 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
Ubuntu 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.

Finding an instance that blocks least and is least blocked


Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it's blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I'd like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?

Federation map?


After the Apicalipse there was a website where you could see which instance de/federates with others, as a map. It's url was lemmymap.feddit.de/ but I guess it went down with feddit.de I found even a screenshot in a thread:

screenshot of lemmymap

Currently with the instances button you can see defederation from one direction, but not from the other, e.g. if an instance is defederated by a lot others you can't see that easily.

Does something like this exist?

in reply to infeeeee

The source code for it can be found on codeberg.org/wintermute/lemmym…

But with Wintermute going missing and feddit.de shutting down is has been shut down as well.

It was a nice map. If it still works I will try to redeploy it.

Edit: This is an early prototype of the lemmymap, not the latest version of it. I don't think it's worth to deploy. I may recreate it from scratch in my free time.

Dan Steinbock: The Israel/US Proxy War for Regime Change in Iran antiwar.com/blog/2025/06/24/th…

🚨BREAKING: The gangs of L.A. brokered a truce and just did more for injustice against innocent immigrants than the entire U.S. Senate has done since they discovered C-SPAN doesn’t have commercials.

Yeah, you heard me. Street crews… yes, those same folks your racist uncle thinks are the final boss in a Fox News fever dream… are now escorting immigrants to court like chivalrous vigilantes in Nike tech fleece. Because when the state decides the Constitution is optional and ICE turns into a roaming death squad with a mask and a clipboard, sometimes the only due process you get is five dudes in matching hoodies telling the feds, “Nah, bro. Not today.”

And guess what? It works. Because ICE agents will happily snatch a grandma from a church picnic if she makes a good deportation stat… but put them near anyone who doesn’t say “yes, sir” with a trembling voice and suddenly they remember they have “other priorities.” These federalized cosplay commandos without badges (but definitely daddy issues) don’t go after the dangerous… they go after the docile. Why? Because they’re not enforcers of law… they’re mall cops with militarized toys and the moral compass of a broken Etch A Sketch.

So of course ICE targets “assimilated immigrants with families.” Because God forbid we deport a white-collar CEO laundering cartel money in Miami… nah, better to rip a kid from his dad in front of the school, then call it “border security.” These aren’t agents… they’re cowards in windbreakers playing hide-and-seek with the American Dream.

And meanwhile, the gangs… yes, gangs… have done what Congress won’t: form a coalition to protect vulnerable people from a government that thinks “compassion” is a foreign threat. These guys just unionized against fascism faster than the Democratic Party could agree on brunch.

So let’s be real. If you’re more outraged that gang members are helping immigrants than you are that the government is hunting them like they’re Pokémon with poor English, you’re not patriotic… you’re complicit. You’re the spiritual lovechild of George Wallace and a Ring doorbell, screaming “law and order” while your empathy dies in 4K.

ICE isn’t about safety. It’s about optics. It’s about keeping middle America scared shitless so they don’t realize who’s actually robbing them blind: it’s not José from Oaxaca, it’s Jeff from JPMorgan.

So props to the homies rolling deep to immigration court. Because while Congress filibusters itself into irrelevance and ICE roleplays as apartheid cosplay, someone’s actually showing up for justice.

You call it gang violence. I call it community defense.

And if that scares you? That’s not fear. That’s your conscience trying to escape the prison you built out of denial. Let it out. Or stay silent… and history will remember you the same way it remembers the cowards: not at all.

If your biggest concern is how uncomfortable this rant made you, congrats… you’re officially less useful than a wet napkin at a house fire. But hey, keep scrolling. I’m sure there’s a cat video somewhere that’ll let you pretend the world isn’t burning.

Wake the hell up.

We can't figure out how to disable secure boot


My girlfriend is trying to run Bazzite. She installed it, but she can't run it, because secure boot is turned on. She's using an Alienware M15 R7, and we can't find the secure boot setting. The manual says it should be in the boot configuration menu, but it's not there or in security either. How do you disabled secure boot on an M15 R7?

#Pakistan is now the world's fastest growing solar installer in terms share of total energy.

Video: 00:03:50

The Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) crew lifts off to the International Space Station atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from launchpad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, on 25 June at 02:31 EDT, local time (07:31 BST/08:31 CEST).

ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski travels to his new home in space in the Dragon spacecraft. Sławosz is part of Axiom Mission 4 alongside Peggy Whitson (USA), Shubhanshu Shukla (India) and Tibor Kapu (Hungary).

During their journey on the Dragon spacecraft to the orbital outpost Sławosz and Tibor will serve as mission specialists, Shubhanshu will be the crew’s pilot and Peggy will be commander.

The Polish project astronaut is the second of a new generation of European astronauts to fly on a commercial human spaceflight opportunity with Axiom Space. Sponsored by the Polish government and supported by ESA, the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology (MRiT), and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA), the mission will include an ambitious technological and scientific programme with several experiments led by ESA and proposed by the Polish space industry. The mission, known as Ignis will officially begin once Sławosz enters the Station.

Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski was selected in November 2022 as a member of the ESA astronaut reserve and joined ESA as a project astronaut on 1 September 2023 for training familiarisation at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany.

Essential Strategies for Avoiding Critical Malaysia Delivery Errors


I. Understanding the Complexities of Cross Border Delivery Services

Professional Malaysia delivery operations demand a comprehensive understanding of regional logistics complexities and strict regulatory compliance standards. Businesses engaged in parcel delivery to Malaysia consistently face operational challenges that can significantly impact supply chain performance and customer satisfaction levels. The sophisticated nature of shipping from Singapore to Malaysia encompasses multiple dimensions beyond basic transportation, including thorough regulatory compliance, precise documentation management, and strategic operational coordination.

Organizations utilizing the courier service Singapore to Malaysia platforms frequently discover that minor operational oversights can create substantial delays and unexpected financial burdens. Success in cargo Malaysia operations stems from identifying potential complications early and establishing comprehensive preventive measures before issues arise. Companies like Evermarch have demonstrated that excellence in Malaysia cargo transportation requires proactive planning and meticulous attention to operational details.

II. Mastering Documentation Requirements for Delivery to Malaysia

Accurate documentation forms the cornerstone of successful delivery to Malaysia from Singapore operations. The completeness and precision of required paperwork directly influence customs processing efficiency and overall shipment performance outcomes. When managing cargo to Malaysia, businesses must ensure all mandatory documentation is thoroughly prepared and accurately submitted to prevent costly processing delays.

Common documentation errors include incomplete commercial invoices, missing detailed packing lists, and incorrect product declarations. These mistakes frequently result in shipment holds, additional processing fees, and damaged customer relationships. Professional cargo transport company providers specializing in parcel to Malaysia services must prioritize comprehensive client education regarding proper documentation standards to ensure efficient cross-border operations.

Understanding customs regulations represents a critical foundation for successful cargo transport operations. Each product category maintains specific regulatory requirements and duty calculations that must be precisely determined before shipment initiation. Businesses involved in parcel from Singapore to Malaysia operations must assign the correct Harmonized System codes to their products to prevent complications during customs evaluation processes.

Essential Strategies for Avoiding Critical Malaysia Delivery Errors

III. Implementing Advanced Packaging Solutions for Tropical Conditions

The challenging tropical climate conditions throughout Southeast Asia require specialized packaging methodologies for cargo Malaysia and Malaysia delivery operations. High humidity levels and extreme temperature variations can damage inadequately protected goods during transportation. Companies must invest in appropriate protective packaging materials that provide comprehensive protection throughout the entire delivery to Malaysia from Singapore.

Moisture-resistant packaging becomes particularly crucial for electronics, textiles, and other climate-sensitive merchandise. Strategic investment in superior packaging materials protects product integrity and company reputation while significantly reducing customer complaints and return requests for cargo Malaysia deliveries. Professional providers understand these environmental challenges and implement appropriate protective measures for all shipments.

IV. Financial Planning and Cost Optimization Strategies

Accurate expense forecasting presents considerable challenges for businesses entering the Malaysia cargo markets. Total costs for the courier service Singapore to Malaysia operations include numerous components beyond fundamental transportation fees. Additional expenses, including customs duties, processing charges, insurance costs, and administrative fees, can dramatically increase final shipping expenditures.

Successful companies establish strategic partnerships with experienced parcel delivery to Malaysia providers who offer transparent pricing models and detailed cost analyses. This approach facilitates superior financial planning and enables businesses to establish competitive customer pricing while maintaining healthy profit margins in cross border delivery services operations. Understanding all cost components helps businesses make informed decisions about their shipping strategies.

V. Technology Integration for Enhanced Service Delivery

Modern shipping from Singapore to Malaysia benefits significantly from advanced tracking and communication platforms. Real-time shipment visibility helps both businesses and customers stay informed about delivery progress throughout the entire process. Organizations lacking adequate tracking capabilities miss valuable opportunities to provide exceptional customer service and may struggle to identify and resolve operational issues promptly.

Investment in technology platforms supporting cargo to Malaysia operations enables superior customer communication and more efficient issue resolution. These systems generate valuable operational insights that can enhance processes and improve overall service delivery quality. Advanced tracking systems also help build customer confidence by providing transparency throughout the shipping process.

VI. Building Strategic Partnerships for Operational Excellence

Logistics partner selection plays a fundamental role in ship from Malaysia to Singapore operational success. Experienced providers contribute specialized expertise regarding regulatory requirements, customs procedures, and industry best practices that help businesses avoid common operational pitfalls. Companies should prioritize partners with proven performance histories in Malaysia delivery and comprehensive service capabilities.

Successful collaborations in delivery to Malaysia operations require transparent communication, aligned objectives, and shared commitment to operational excellence. These strategic relationships provide businesses with essential resources and expertise required to navigate complex international shipping requirements effectively. Professional partners like Evermarch understand the intricacies of regional logistics and can help businesses avoid costly mistakes while ensuring reliable service delivery.

Effective timeline management proves essential for maintaining excellent customer relationships in the parcel to Malaysia operations. Many organizations underestimate the duration required for customs clearance and documentation processing, resulting in dissatisfied customers and damaged business reputations. Cross border delivery services naturally require extended processing time compared to domestic shipping options, and businesses must factor these considerations into their delivery commitments.

#UK / Co-op stops sourcing from Israel over human rights violations

The Co-op Group, a member-owned retailer operating over 2,300 UK food stores, announced it will cease sourcing products from 17 countries including Israel due to "internationally recognised" human rights abuses and violations of international law. The retailer will stop selling Israeli carrots this month as part of its commitment to no longer stock Israeli goods. The decision follows a board review of the Co-op's role "in building peace" and reflects member voices.

Other countries on the prohibited list include Russia, Mali, Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, Libya and Syria. This contrasts with other UK retailers like #Tesco, which continues sourcing from #Israel while avoiding Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.

‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops


A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.

“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”

“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.

fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”

In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.

“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.

Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.

McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.

In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.

Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.

ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.

ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.

Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

Joseph Cox contributed reporting.

Site Protection Standards And Safety Regulations For Crushing Plants In Different Countries In Latin America


The mining and construction sectors in Latin America are rapidly evolving, driven by infrastructure development and increasing demand for aggregates. However, operating aggregate crusher plants and other crushing equipment safely and in compliance with local laws is a complex challenge. Countries across the region have developed distinct site protection standards and safety regulations that operators must navigate to avoid penalties, ensure worker safety, and minimize environmental impact.

This article explores the varied safety and site protection requirements for crushing plants in key Latin American countries, highlighting best practices and regulatory considerations for stone crusher en Mexico, portable debris crusher operations, and other installations.

Overview Of Crushing Plant Safety Regulations In Latin America


Mining and aggregate crushing sites(planta procesadora de agregados) inherently pose risks due to heavy machinery, dust generation, noise, and large volumes of loose materials. Latin American governments recognize these risks and have implemented regulations that address equipment safety, environmental protection, and worker health.

Although many countries share common goals, the specifics of site protection standards and safety legislation vary considerably. This variation requires operators to stay informed and adapt their processes accordingly.

Country-Specific Site Protection And Safety Requirements

Mexico: Comprehensive Regulation For Stone Crusher Operations


Mexico maintains one of the more developed regulatory frameworks for crushing plants. The stone crusher en Mexico(trituradora de piedra en mexico) must comply with guidelines from SEMARNAT (Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales) concerning emissions control, noise limits, and water management.

Operators are required to install dust suppression systems, including water sprays and filters, to minimize particulate release. Safety measures such as guarded conveyors, emergency stop mechanisms, and proper signage are strictly enforced.

In addition, Mexico mandates regular workplace safety training and audits to ensure compliance with NOM-031-STPS-2011, which governs the prevention of occupational hazards in mining and construction environments.

Brazil: Environmental and Labor Safety Emphasis


Brazil’s crushing plant operators face stringent environmental licensing procedures. Agencies such as IBAMA (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis) enforce regulations related to land use, water discharge, and air quality.

Aggregate crusher plant installations must include measures for noise abatement and erosion control due to the country’s sensitive ecosystems. Worker safety follows the standards of NR-22, a regulation that sets forth health and safety protocols specific to mining activities.

Brazilian regulations also emphasize community engagement and require companies to conduct environmental impact assessments before project approval.

Chile: Advanced Worker Protection and Site Monitoring


Chile has developed advanced worker safety laws, requiring crushing plant operators to implement hazard identification, risk analysis, and safety controls under the Ministry of Health’s guidelines.

Portable and fixed plants alike must be equipped with guarded machinery, vibration dampening, and ergonomic controls. Regular monitoring of dust levels, noise exposure, and equipment maintenance records is compulsory.

For environmental protection, Chile mandates revegetation plans and water resource management, especially in mining regions vulnerable to desertification.

Argentina and Peru: Growing Focus On Site Safety and Environmental Protection


Argentina and Peru are continuously updating their safety regulations to match international best practices. Both countries require portable debris crusher(trituradora de escombros portátil) operators to maintain clean work sites with clear access paths and emergency response plans.

In Peru, the Ministry of Energy and Mines oversees safety certifications, requiring crushing plants to adhere to operational limits on noise and dust, and to install emergency shutdown systems.

Argentina’s Secretariat of Mining enforces site perimeter security, worker PPE standards, and machinery safety interlocks, aiming to reduce accidents on aggregate crusher plant sites.

Best Practices For Compliance Across Latin America


  • Dust and Noise Control: Use of water sprays, dust collectors, and noise barriers is essential to comply with air and sound pollution standards.
  • Machinery Safeguards: Guarding of belts, pulleys, and crushers, along with emergency stop devices, reduces injury risk.
  • Worker Training: Ongoing education on hazard awareness, PPE usage, and emergency protocols is critical.
  • Environmental Management: Proper waste disposal, erosion control, and site restoration protect local ecosystems.
  • Regular Audits: Internal and external inspections ensure continuous adherence to evolving regulations.


Conclusion


Operating a crushing plant in Latin America requires thorough understanding and compliance with a patchwork of national regulations and site protection standards. Whether running a stone crusher en Mexico, a portable debris crusher in Peru, or a large-scale aggregate crusher plant in Brazil, adhering to safety and environmental guidelines is fundamental for legal operation and sustainable business success.

Contractors and plant managers should prioritize up-to-date training, invest in modern safety equipment, and engage local experts to navigate regulatory complexities. By doing so, they contribute to safer work environments, reduced environmental impact, and stronger reputations within Latin America’s competitive mining and construction sectors.

The NHS can't make us better when big business is making profit by making us sick youtu.be/uQA3jkqOXNQ?si=HvvGjB… From addictive foods to lifetime drugs, corporations are profiting from your ill-health, and the NHS is left to foot the bill. This is how neoliberalism is eating the state.

#Palestine / Israeli police kills 65-year-old Palestinian woman in occupied East Jerusalem

A 65-year-old Palestinian woman, Zahiya al-Obeidi, was shot dead in the head by Israeli police during operations in Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem. She was brought to Shuafat checkpoint with penetrating injuries and no signs of life. Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances.

A police sniper shot last week two Palestinians in the al-Tur neighborhood - 12-year-old Iyas Ra'ad Abu Mafreh and his 21-year-old cousin Oudai Fadi Abu Juma. Police claimed they were involved in throwing fireworks and Molotov cocktails, but family members and eyewitnesses told #Haaretz they were standing on the street eating pizza with no disturbances in the area. Video footage obtained by Haaretz supports the family's account.

On the same day, soldiers shot dead 22-year-old Moataz Hajajleh in Walaja village near Jerusalem, claiming he pulled a knife and tried to stab them and steal their weapons. His family and village residents claim soldiers shot him without danger to themselves, after beating him and his relatives.
