The war across the Middle East is part of a desperate effort to preserve Western superiority. All the fighting — whether in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, or Iran — is due to Zionism, and its role of enforcing the crushing force of the West.

Even if someone isn't crying out for "Aryan" supremacy or hate crimes against Jewishness people have more in common with Nazis and their ilk than they might like to think if they disregard the value of life to the extent of supporting genocide. And we should call them out for it.
This interviewee--a regular in the #Berlin "house project scene" (legalized 90s ex squats)--is an example of the kind of people that should be called out as racist, genocide apologists (the only way this person could've said it more directly would be: "yes, kill them all").

Hi!. Currently running Linux Mint 22.1, but i suspect it's not strictly a distro issue. This laptop was running VERY well but was outdated, running Mint 19.3, some things were unable to be installed because the system libraries were old (didn't expect Calibre to be one of them, figures), so i updated all the way to that moment's current version which was Mint 21.3. All of a sudden it felt like the laptop got downgraded two whole computer tech generations. As soon as i ask it to do something mildly complicated that made it break no sweat on Mint 19, it gets VERY slow, all the cores start running at max, system load increases, until it finishes doing whatever it was doing several minutes later, something between a couple of minutes when lucky, to 20 or more. Typically what triggers the issue is something on the browser (what i use the most on the computer is browser tabs and lots of terminals) but not exclusively. Thought it was the browser but replicated it on an empty Firefox profile, and has triggered with simpler stuff like the Discord client. Been trying to find the issue for a while trying to avoid a full reinstall, no luck so far.
If i were to describe how it feels, it's like there was a bottleneck on tasks being done by the system, as soon as you ask it to do something mildly complex it chokes on it and tasks accumulate. No idea if it's some kind of kernel misconfiguration, if it's some hardware incompatibility, or something else entirely, checking the changelogs of Mint all the way between 19.3 and 21.3 showed nothing i could pin this onto (or at least nothing i could notice).
The nuclear option would be a brand new blank install but I'd MUCH rather avoid that if possible, made the comfortable but now unwise choice of a single partition for everything (instead of a separate /home and whatnot as i used to do) so reinstallation would wipe it completely, if i must then i must but much rather not.
Would welcome VERY much ideas on stuff to check or try.
Edit: It's got an NVME drive, which seems to be healthy as far as i can see
Edit: When it happens it doesn't seem to matter how much RAM is free, seen it happen with only 8 of the 32Gb of RAM in use and zero swap
Edit: Found a great way to describe how it feels like: Have you done heavy video encoding on a computer that's adequate for the task but not more than that, and noticed how everything in it stalls heavily, even if there's plenty of RAM free and the computer feels like it's giving everything to that task only? Pretty much that, but for nearly everything even moderately heavy
When this happens, open a TTY by hitting ALT+F2, login, then run top to get a listing of what's running on your machine. It should should what's hitting the CPU at the top of the list.
It would also be good to get an idea of your memory situation, so also run free -m.
Aside from checking the kernel log (sudo dmesg) and system log (sudo journalctl -xe) for any interesting messages, I might suggest simply watching for any processes which are abnormally high while the system is running slow. My initial approach would be to use htop (disable "Hide Kernel Threads" and enable "Detailed CPU Time"), and seeing which processes, if any, are eating up your CPU time. The colored core utilization bars at the top show how much CPU time is being spent on what: gray for disk wait, red for kernel, green for regular user process, etc. That information will be a good starting point.
Really long freezes, while it could be something else, are often caused by the RAM being full, this is called thrashing.
Big memory hogs like the browser or discord could trigger thrashing behaviour if you're already low on RAM. Since this happened after an update, the most likely cause is a bug in any one of the many processes that are running on your computer. That kind of bug is called a memory leak, where a process is requesting memory for something, but then fails to give it back when no longer needed.
You should monitor memory usage to see if it is that, and to find out what process it is.
Nope, that's what i suspected but no, half of the 32Gb of RAM and zero or very little swap are in use when it happens, very good part of why i'm stumped
Ok that's weird. My first guess would be something kernel-related, so maybe try booting the old kernel if you still have it, or just try a different kernel.
I'm guessing you've already turned it off and on again. If not, seriously, do that. It works more time than it doesn't for random weirdness.
Run 'htop' and sort by CPU (it's a friendlier and better version of 'top'. That'll show you what processes are using the most CPU
Whilst you're in there, check the free memory. If that's low, or swap usage is high, then use htop to sort by memory usage to find what's using the most.
If you see processes you don't recognise, hit google and find out why. It's very unlikely they're malicious, but it's far less common on linux than Windows to have random processes doing unknown stuff. If it's using a lot of cpu or memory, there'll be a reason. It might be a dumb reason, but you will be able to find it out.
And then when you know what the guilty process is, if it is that, and it's not critical - you can stop it with systemctl and narrow down what's afoot.
It's happening with whatever is the heaviest process at the moment and has happened for months, MANY reboots since then. Usually the heaviest process is the browser, but not always
Ι'd suggest you try another kernel. This sounds like a kernel/driver issue, since the ssd seems to be healthy. Mint lets you pick from newer kernels, from within the update app. This might solve your issue, or you might want to upgrade to 22.1 too.
Try isolating anything unique to your installation by booting from a live USB of Mint 22.1 or 21.3 and go about your workflow. If it gives the same symptoms, boot from a live USB of Mint 19.3. Hopefully nothing bad happened to your hardware during the update.
Apologies for the late response. And this is probs not what you'd like to hear. But I've heard some industry veterans refer to this as an inevitability of the 'old' model. I believe a radical approach is required to prevent this from happening the next time. Wish ya good luck fam!
At this point, I'm starting to fear that either this might be the case, or that it broke in some way i haven't been able to diagnose, and for both the solution is "replacement"
My apologies fam for not being able to help out much (if at all) 😅. FWIW, for related~ish reasons, I intend to explore the waters of NixOS within a couple of weeks. What are your plans?
Given that as i mentioned elsewhere i did not separate the /home into it's own partition like I've been doing since the 90s, formatting this thing right now would likely lead to losing stuff, i need to organize the files first before i do the nuclear option: A full reformat/reinstall. If that makes no difference in the end, I'll have to consider the possibility of getting a new one. No idea how long will each step take so not the foggiest on when will i do each thing, and that's even without taking procrastination into consideration... 😅
I wish you the best of luck at/with whatever you end up doing! May your system be protected from bit rot, config drift and/or problems caused by hidden state!
'High-profile' Israeli military, intelligence sites hit by Iranian missiles: Report
Israel’s Defense Ministry complex in Tel Aviv, known as the Kirya, was among the targets directly struck by ballistic missiles
Ce mardi 24 juin, Donald Trump a annoncé l’instauration d’un « cessez-le-feu » entre Israël et l’Iran, après 12 jours de guerre. Un geste bien fragile, tant les deux camps s’accusent l’un l’autre de continuer à mener des frappes en violation de ce dit accord. Des informations confirmées par le Président américain : « I don’ know what the fuck they’re doing », a-t-il déclaré ce mardi midi.
Dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche, les Etats-Unis ont bombardé plusieurs sites nucléaires iraniens. Soit un acte de belligérance dans une guerre débutée par Israël de manière surprise, dans la nuit du 12 au 13 juin, par des bombardements multiples sur Téhéran et d’autres cibles alentours. Des manœuvres qui, faut-il seulement le rappeler, se sont déployées en dépit complet du droit international.
Les raisons du déclenchement de cette guerre sont floues. Le programme nucléaire iranien ? Loin d’être en mesure de mettre au point une bombe opérationnelle, selon plusieurs spécialistes. Alors quoi d’autres ? Notre invité, le politiste Bertrand Badie, formule des hypothèses. Cacher le génocide à Gaza ? Reconstituer une alliance fragilisée ? Souder les sociétés autour d’un nouvel ennemi juré ? Pourquoi choisir, quand, finalement, il est sans doute question de tout ça à la fois.

The killing of Mohammad, a 16-year-old Palestinian boy, who was shot dead by Israeli forces while seeking food aid in northern Gaza. The account comes from his uncle Mo, an NHS consultant surgeon who has worked in the UK for 20 years.
[…] People are completely desperate so they do risk their lives to go and get some food for their families, but then they die. He’s only a little story of thousands of other stories of people like that – just extermination.
The policies now being implemented — from massive rearmament to the escalation of conflict with Russia — are not rooted in a cold pursuit of German national interests, but in their negation

Abused and neglected humans can and often do this too, and choose to raise their offspring better than they were raised.

I've always admire the story of "Las Patronas" a group of women that provide food and water to the people migrating from the south to the north in America. They are amazing women doing it for humanity reasons and nothing else. What solidarity should look like everywhere #laspatronas #humanity
Du bruit, à la hauteur de la diplomatie française. Le plus important à retenir, c'est que L'Iran a accepter le cessez-le-feu... Peut-être ont-ils obtenus la fin de la punition collective à Gaza? Mais effectivement, lorsque des tarés n'hésitent pas à bombarder le programme nucléaire civil, ça calme un peu.
What the fuck is wrong with rich people that they act confused when regular people hate their ostentatious displays of wealth?
Like, I don't care whether Bezos's wedding is as "respectful" of Venice or not, and I don't think people protesting care either. It's not about the disruption—protests will cause more disruption—it's about the audacity of Bezos to think people wouldn't pelt him with rotten eggs if they got the chance.
Dude, Jeff, Bezos, my man, people hate you. You are more cruel and greedy and selfish than some of us can even imagine. Enjoy your wealth, I guess, but don't expect people to be nice or treat you well.

We heard these canards leading up to the 2003 war in Iraq. Twenty-two years later they have been resurrected. Anyone who advocates for negotiations, for diplomacy and peace, is a stooge for terrorists.
Of course fuck the Democrats/DNC but the thing that infuriates me is my liberal friends fall for this. AND THEN YELL AT ME for being too progressive.
And they are right back at it. Supporting and even worse FOLLOWING the lead of the Dem/DNC BS machine.
I don't know the answers and I am always ready to be shown I'm wrong, but one thing I strongly believe is:
Things don't change w/o friction. Things don't change without getting in someone's way. I think this is why there is all of this new "non violence" rhetoric. When did that become a thing? I think it is just another way for liberals to tell progressive or more left people they are "going too far". Fuck that shit.
violence is another word for friction.
even MLK and Ghandi were "violent", it's just that they suffered the violence. So this no violence feels like just a narrative to stifle change. You can't make an ommellte w/o breaking some eggs or something like that.

The voters who watch Fox and lend unquestioning support to Israeli maximalism are old and getting older. Meanwhile, Republicans between the ages of 18 and 49 have registered the sharpest rise in “unfavorable views” toward Israel, jumping to 50% earlier this year, up from 35% in 2019, according to RealClear polling.
@Emmanuel Florac They seem to have one the first battle. The US and Israel will not stop unless Iran or some other entities force their hands. The war on Iran is just another phase of the war on multi-polarity. The hegemonic empire must crush any competition. This is the same war against Russia, China and any and all rivals.
The west, namely the US calculates that if she can disrupt the government and people of Iran, she will expose the vulnerabilities of Russia. She may be right at that, so it is imperative that the target nations move in unison to counter her offensives.
Most of history is just Jews trying to kill, steal, and destroy as much as possible, ppl reacting to their actions, and the fallout of those reactions.
The recent ceasefire declared between Iran and the U.S.-Israel axis might appear to be a temporary pause in escalating tensions. However, it reflects a
I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.
Domains? Where we’re going, we don’t need domains! Until the end of this year, the only way to have a secure web site is to have it accessible via a domain name. That, however, is changing.
One thing to keep in mind: the DNS system was set up in part because IP addresses are changed every so often, partlyi due to hierarchical routing, and a domain name was intended to provide a stable name for a host. If that host physically moved or if the network topology changed, that host's IP address might have to change as well.
Love the idea! If they allow us to take ip numbers with us, I would even drop my domain names. The trade off is that if I change host my Web Number changes right?
@geep Yeah but there will be forwarding in Small Web sites (at least) so as long as you keep both servers up for a transitionary period everyone’s address books should have time to update. (I don’t see the address books being static things; the forwarding will be part of the Small Web protocol.)
I once thought of this DNS idea with word lists. You make four lists of 256 words each and share those word lists around. You create them so that when you pick one random word from each you get things like "wild horse stacking grass" or "nimble capybara smelling cement". Then we can share easier to remember website numbers by referring to the four words in the shared list. You could even make the browser do the look-ups.
Excellent. So use a domain name. No one’s stopping you 😀
This is something new that is important as it will be the *default* for the *Small Web* – the web of *people* not plumbing companies.
Plumbing companies are more than welcome – and maybe one-person or tiny ones would find it useful and, if they do, they can point mycityplumber.com to their Small Web site. But I’m not building the Small Web for companies – the Big Web exists for that – I’m building it for people.
I like the idea but seeing as how there are already actual people without access to full ipv4 connectivity, I can only think of it as a cool alternate history that was only practical for some time.
One thing I do like about phone numbers is that I can take them with me every time I change providers. I'd like that for IPs.
@mwaters Yep, and if the idea was to have people download a separate app, I could just make it an app 😀 The idea is that it’s the web that exists, although with instances of one; not a different web. And that it works with regular browsers. Lots of other tools/projects exist that are exploring alternative networks, browsers, etc. (And that’s good.)
@tykayn Latter sounds like a job for IPv6. But I’m sure we’ll tackle that when we get to it. My focus is on getting the core ready for use at the moment ;)
I like the idea of simply saving IP addresses to my address book, though changing number seems like a hassle (about as bad as changing phone numbers, only I expect it to happen more often).
And I guess you still need a domain name to run Catalyst for multiple users? (Needing to get it on the PSL already seems like a problem anyway)
@rigrig You don’t need it on the PSL if you’re setting up servers at IP addresses, only if you’re doing so at domains.
I would expect an IP address to change only if you’re moving hosts in the VPS deployment scenario. And Kitten already supports forwarding. Yarn will also have server migration as a first-class citizen. So that should help mitigate that issue 😀
I like the idea, but how do we keep an IP going from provider to provider? IPs are even more fragile than domains and changing that fact seems near impossible.
Instead, couldn’t a trusted nonprofit (say @eff or ISRG) buy a gTLD from ICANN, become a registrar and rent out domains at (very close to) self-cost with no insane price hikes? Picture what ISRG did with @letsencrypt, but for domains.
Running costs for this would currently be a fixed fee of US$6,250 per calendar quarter and a transaction fee of US$0.25[1]. These costs could be split on all registrants.
Some would probably say that .org is the answer, but the PIR drama in 2020[2] shows how fragile this system is. We *need* a TLD that doesn’t need to be saved by the @eff from hostile takeovers.
Imagine: more registrants would mean lower prices. That’s far from how gTLDs function now. A sudden spike in interest could introduce a sudden price increase.
If you come at the nonprofit sector, you’d best not miss.Nonprofits and NGOs around the world were stunned last November when the Internet Society (ISOC) announced that it had agreed to sell the Public Interest Registry—the organization that manages …
@mikael @eff Migration can be built at the app layer (Kitten already supports it natively for all apps created with it). Both servers would have to be online for a period of time to allow people’s address books time to update.
I do like your non-commercial TLD idea too. Would love to see that and it would be a nice complementary tool. Could easily be done as an EU-funded project if the political will was there.
(Basically, that was/is what I was hacking at the second-level domain level using the Public Suffix List until this latest Let’s Encrypt development.)
