Sorry for our unannounced disappearance.
The machine this friendica is based upon is a i9-10900x with dual wd-black 1TB SSD drives in RAID0 and four 14Tb drives in two RAID-1 arrays.
Running the root partition on raid1 software raid (mdraid) requires that
initramfs autoconfig's the RAID array for a successful boot to occur.
I had upgraded our other web server to Ubuntu 24.04 in advance of the official release date and had few problems so did the same with this, unaware that 24.04 totally broke the auto-assemble function in initramfs, as well as breaking virtual GPUs and turning the machine into a snap nightmare.
The Canonical folks deserve a big E on this release as far as I am concerned. Anyway after finally figuring out what happened we are back on 22.04 and probably will remain that way until end of life at which point we'll migrate to Debian or some other release unless Ubuntu's board has been fired by that time and moved back to some semblance of sanity.
In a day or two we should also have hubzilla, mastodon, and yacy back up.
I accidentally discovered that Netflix is snooping my browser history. I configured Firefox for private browsing and turned history off. Netflix would no longer allow me to view content. They have no legal interest in my browser history. Of course they'd like to know it so they can better target ads and probably the NSA pays them to help with their data collection, but what I've viewed outside of Netflix is NONE OF THEIR FUCKING BUSINESS.
If you are a Netflix customer, I urge you to call them at (888) 638-3549 and tell them in no uncertain terms that this is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
If there are any lawyers out there that would be willing to get a law suit
going pro-bono, please contact me at nanook@eskimo.com.
Please spread this message around.

It gets even better than she describes here, because the kind of reactors that can recycle actinides (the heavier than Uranium isotopes in nuclear waste that are long-lived) are molten salt breeder reactors. These reactors have additional benefits beyond burning waste, they also are inherently safe incapable of meltdowns because they are firstly self-regulating, and second in the event of an overheat condition (which is nearly impossible to achieve) the worst thing that happens is it melts a drain plug and the fuel drains into a much larger tank that disperses it enough that reactions can no longer occur, and because this fuel cycle involves continuous removal of fission products, there aren't a lot of fission products in the fuel to heat the tank. These reactors are safe by physics not safe by 1000 safety mechanisms that can screw up and render you a Fukashima. As such they can be placed close enough to populations that waste heat can be used for things like space heating of homes and commercial spaces.

We're all reading how AI will be our doom. I think most people associate AI with consciousness but I see zero evidence that mere complexity creates consciousness and thus no reason to believe AI is conscious, thus to be the destruction of mankind will require someone direct it to that purpose, just as with nuclear technology.
Personally, I believe the many interactive worlds theory of quantum mechanics is the correct one, even though it be an unpopular one. It creates a physical mechanism for us to create our reality, the universes splitting at every decision node but we decide which one we go to and so you can choose a terrible world or a great one. Make the right choice.

ChatGPT Deutsch: Die Konversationsrevolution in Deutschland
Die Entwicklung der KI hat eine neue Ära der menschlichen Kommunikation eingeleitet. ChatGPT Deutsch hat insbesondere die Kommunikation in Deutsch revolutioniert.
Die deutsche Sprache wird durch künstliche Intelligenz beeinflusst bei chatgptdeutsch.io/
ChatGPT auf Deutsch ermöglicht Benutzern die Interaktion mit einem intelligenten Sprachmodell, das auf dem bahnbrechenden GPT-3.5-Modell von OpenAI basiert. Da ChatGPT Deutsch nicht nur syntaktisch korrekte, sondern auch semantisch sinnvolle Antworten generiert, ist dieser Schritt ein Meilenstein in der deutschen Sprachverarbeitung.
2. Vielfältige Einsatzgebiete
ChatGPT Deutsch wird in zahlreichen Bereichen eingesetzt, darunter Kundenservice, Bildung und persönliche Assistenz. In verschiedenen Szenarien erhöht die Fähigkeit des Modells, komplexe Anfragen zu verstehen und fundierte Antworten zu liefern, die die Effizienz und Genauigkeit erhöhen.
3. Möglichkeiten zur Verbesserung des Sprachlernens
ChatGPT ist eine Wohltat für Menschen, die Deutsch lernen. Die Lernenden können durch die interaktive Interaktion mit dem Modell nicht nur ihre grammatischen Fähigkeiten verbessern, sondern auch ihr Verständnis für den idiomatischen Gebrauch der deutschen Sprache erweitern.
4. Herausforderungen und Überlegungen zur Ethik
Herausforderungen und ethische Bedenken treten mit dem Wachstum der KI auf. Bei der Implementierung dieses revolutionären Tools müssen wichtige Aspekte wie die Privatsphäre, die Voreingenommenheit und die Begrenzung des Missbrauchs von ChatGPT berücksichtigt werden.
5. Ausblick auf die Zukunft
ChatGPT Deutsch ist nur der Beginn eines aufregenden Zeitalters in der Sprachtechnologie. Die fortlaufende Verbesserung dieses Modells wird dazu beitragen, die Benutzererfahrung zu verbessern und es in immer mehr Bereichen anzuwenden.
Insgesamt ermöglicht ChatGPT Deutsch eine detailliertere, präzisere und interaktivere Kommunikation auf Deutsch. Eine vielversprechende Zukunft für die Art und Weise, wie wir mit künstlicher Intelligenz in unserer eigenen Sprache interagieren, wird von dieser Sprachtechnologierevolution erwartet.

St. John Chrysostom on #Sodom:
For such is the burning of Sodom, and that conflagration! And they know it well that have been at the place, and have seen with their eyes that scourge divinely sent, and the effect of the lightnings from above (Jude 7). Consider how great is that sin, to have forced hell to appear even before its time! For whereas many thought scorn of His words, by His deeds did God show them the image thereof in a certain novel way. For that rain was unwonted, for that the intercourse was contrary to nature, and it deluged the land, since lust had done so with their souls. Wherefore also the rain was the opposite of the customary rain. Now not only did it fail to stir up the womb of the earth to the production of fruits, but made it even useless for the reception of seed. For such was also the intercourse of the men, making a body of this sort more worthless than the very land of Sodom. And what is there more detestable than a man who hath pandered himself, or what more execrable? Oh, what madness! Oh, what distraction! Whence came this lust lewdly revelling and making man’s nature all that enemies could? or even worse than that, by as much as the soul is better than the body. Oh, ye that were more senseless than irrational creatures, and more shameless than dogs! for in no case does such intercourse take place with them, but nature acknowledgeth her own limits. But ye have even made our race dishonored below things irrational, by such indignities inflicted upon and by each other.

Several explosions were reported near the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, Iraq, an Iraqi security source told ABC News.The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps quickly took responsibility for the attacks, saying it was targeting the "headquarters of spies" and "anti-Iranian terrorist gatherings in parts of the region" with ballistic missiles.
Four people were killed, and six were injured in the attack, the Kurdistan Regional Security Council said.
There were no coalition forces or American forces killed in the bombing of Erbil, the Iraqi security source told ABC News.

"It is a notable shortcoming of the literature about National Socialism that it does not know or does not want to admit to what degree all the deeds—with the sole exception of the technical process of gassing—that the National Socialists later committed had already been described in a voluminous literature of the early 1920s: mass deportations and shootings, torture, death camps, extermination of entire groups using strictly objective selection criteria, and public demands for the annihilation of millions of guiltless people who were thought to be "enemies".It is probable that many of these reports were exaggerated. It is certain that the “White Terror” also committed terrible deeds, even though its program contained no analogy to the “extermination of the bourgeoisie”. Nonetheless, the following question must seem permissible, even unavoidable: Did the National Socialists or Hitler perhaps commit an “Asiatic” deed merely because they and their ilk considered themselves to be the potential victims of an “Asiatic” deed? Wasn’t the 'Gulag Archipelago' more original than Auschwitz? Was the Bolshevik murder of an entire class not the logical and factual prius of the "racial murder" of National Socialism? Cannot Hitler's most secret deeds be explained by the fact that he had not forgotten the rat cage? Did Auschwitz in its root causes not originate in a past that would not pass?’’

(MENAFN- AzerNews) Al-Ittihad forward Karim Benzema, Al-Ahly striker Roberto Firmino and Al-Ittifaq midfielder Jordan Henderson want to leave Saudi Arabia, Azernews reports.All three players joined the Saudi club last summer. It is reported that the players are not satisfied with the climate in Saudi Arabia, the quality of the fields and the low attendance of matches.
It's interesting to see that they take the crowd aspect very serious - money just isn't enough for some of these top stars.

Simply amazing policy move here:
The park covers 47 acres and is right next to a portion of the Rio Grande River. This will give DPS officers control over the area to help stop illegals from crossing into the U.S. The take over is for an indefinite period of time with DPS having total control of the area.“All access to the property is limited to state authority only. Border Patrol will be permitted to enter the property to remove their equipment and supplies—Agents will not have access to the area unless there is a medical emergency.” – NewsNation reporter Ali Brady said.
They're going to take strategic crossing points, declare them state property, and then arrest, punish, deport illegals for criminal trespass since they can't get them on anything else these days as the Feds don't cooperate.
It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat; and this I can verily believe as I gaze upon him who sitteth purring before the fire. For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. He is the soul of antique Aegyptus, and bearer of tales from forgotten cities in Meroë and Ophir. He is the kin of the jungle’s lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa. The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten.
