Since 2022 Scottish Enterprise has given arms firms linked to Israel nearly £3 million. Tax payers money should not be given to those profiting from genocide.

Big Tech plans to use lots more water. They just don't want the public to know.

Cooling alone can account for up to 40% of a data center’s total electricity consumption.

A major shift we’re seeing is the move from reliance on air-cooling systems to liquid cooling solutions.

Techniques like chilled water loops, direct-to-chip (cold plate) cooling, and immersion cooling are gaining popularity.

Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

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 This laptop was running VERY well but was outdated, running Mint 19.3, some things were unable to be installed because the system libraries were old (didn't expect Calibre to be one of them, figures), so i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

jherazob

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... 😅

Israël-Iran : les vraies raisons derrière le prétexte nucléaire

Soutenez Blast, nouveau média indépendant : blast-info.fr/soutenir

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.

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.

uspol violence narrative

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.

Did Iran win the 12-day war? - UnHerd

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.

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.

@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.
