What's so silly about this is where he talks about how these judges are for sale...

Bro, SCOTUS is made up of ideologues on both sides...

And that's beautiful.

L'angélisme à gauche est une réalité douloureuse. Elle est historique parce que la gauche soutient les discriminés en ne voyant que de pauvres gens. Mais on peut être un discriminé et un voyou. Il faut intégrer la complexité.
Ce qu'il se passe doit arriver. Personne n'empêchera pas. L'Occident est en pleine crise existentielle.

Larry Fink, BlackRock & Predatory Capitalism
Investment honcho Larry Fink is attracting outrage from conservatives for an old admission that his firm would "force behaviors" on diversity, equity, and inclusion standards amid pushback on companies setting similar goals.

"Behaviors are gonna have to change, and this is one thing we're asking companies. You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock we are forcing behaviors," Fink said in a 2017 video interview with the New York Times.

BlackRock Inc., the world's largest asset manager, with shares in companies like Amazon, Apple, MasterCard, Johnson & Johnson, Walmart ,and Walt Disney Co., bragged in the 2017 interview about adding "4 more points of diverse employment.”

"What we're doing internally is if you don't achieve these levels of impact, your compensation could be impacted," Fink said in the interview video.

"You have to force behaviors. If you don't force behaviors, whether it's gender or race or just any way you want to say the composition of your team, you're going to be impacted. That not just recruiting, it's development," Fink said. "We're gonna have to force change."

The video circulated on social media after resurfacing online, Fox News reported, with Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, tweeting on Monday that BlackRock is "destroying value and are engaged in illegal and immoral conduct."

"There are two schools of thought within the GOP on BlackRock. The old guard thinks they're creating value and need to be rewarded with tax cuts," the message stated. "I think they're destroying value and are engaged in illegal and immoral conduct. They need to be dealt with accordingly."

Across the country, over 200 micro-mobility fire or overheating incidents have been reported from 39 states, resulting in at least 19 fatalities, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. But the organization emphasized that the problem is particularly acute in densely populated areas like New York City. In London, lithium battery fires are the fastest-growing fire risk, with 57 e-bike fires and 13 e-scooter fires this year, according to the London Fire Brigade.

In New York, lithium battery fires have killed 13 people this year, including four people in a blaze that started in an e-bike store in Chinatown on Tuesday. A total of 23 people have died in battery fires since 2021. This year, there have been 108 fires, compared with 98 fires for the same period last year.

Lately, concerning the defederation of Exploding Heads in the fediverse and all that drama, I have felt rather burnt out on alt tech. It often feels like it is going nowhere fast.

It also makes you wonder if you are contributing to anything.

But sometimes all that really matters is the journey.

I've felt a little sidelined. A friend recently died of substance abuse related issues, and I have just felt a bit gutted on that front and putting more time toward my family.

Washington State 4th Amendment Violations

I live in Washington State where it is legal for adults over 21 to purchase and consume marijuana.

I am 64, completely grey, there isn't a shred of color left in my hair, yet I am always carded when I go to one of these places to buy. State law only requires they NOT sell to someone under 21, it does NOT require they ID them, yet, I am OK with SHOWING them my license, what I am NOT OKAY with this them scanning and retaining a computer record of my drivers license and any accessible information related to it.

I have ZERO idea of WHO and what government or private industry MAY have access to the information they retain.

I am looking for:

1) Anyone with info of a licensed marijuana seller in Washington State that does NOT insist on scanning my drivers license, particularly in the Seattle or Shoreline or Lynnwood / Edmonds area.

2) Cost effective suggestions for how to raise the biggest stink over the infringement of my 4th amendment rights.

Global Bullshit
I invite you all to go to this NOAA website that has average annual temperatures for each of the states from 1913 until present. I think once you look at a broad sampling you will see that global warming is a hoax. This year is the hottest in Washington since 1959, but it was actually slightly hotter in 1959 for example, and you'll find similar patterns elsewhere.

Linux - Rescue OS Help

I'm trying to setup a new server which among other things will take over the friendica.eskimo.com/ node.

I have the primary OS installed, and then have a separate partition on a drive that isn't part of the bootable drive set, it is a mdraid partition just like the primary but on a different raid device The idea is if something gets scribbled preventing the primary OS from booting, I can boot it to straighten out whatever is broken.

The primary OS root partition is /dev/md0p1, the rescue OS root partition is /dev/md2p1, there is no separate /boot partition, and since it is UEFI, no bios_grub partition. There is only one EFI system disk at /dev/nvme0n1p1, I would rather have two but the UEFI bios on this machine doesn't seem to like that.

I started by installing the primary OS, then copied the entire root partition to /dev/md2p1, and changed the root entry in /etc/fstab and then mounted the secondary OS root partition on /mnt.

Then I did:
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/sys
mount --rbind /opt /mnt/opt

Then I chroot'd to /mnt and after checking /etc/fstab and /etc/grub.d/grub.cfg to make sure the root partition was correct I did:

update-initramfs -u
update-grub2

Now when I boot the machine and use F8, I see the original boot disk, /dev/nvme0n1 and if I boot the main OS everything works as expected, but if I select my new rescue OS, it starts up with the / partition being /dev/md0p1 instead of /dev/md2p1.

Thinking I must have missed editing the root file system somewhere, I
mounted /dev/md2p1 on /mnt, chroot'd to that again, and then did:

blkid /dev/md0p1 (get the block ID of the original root device)

find /etc -type f -exec grep 'block id of original root' {} /dev/null \;

To look for any conf's with the original blkid for the original root file system and did not find any.

It has in the boot menu Ubuntu on /dev/md0p1 and Ubuntu on /dev/md2p1, but
when I choose the latter it's still mounting /dev/md0p1 as the root.

Any ideas what I may have missed?

Astrud Gilberto
Girl from Ipanema was a song that I really enjoyed in my childhood (I am 64 now). I wondered what happened to Astrud Gilberto over the years because not much of her other music made it here in the States (she is Brazillian). She died in 2002, at 83, would be 104 if she was still alive, but died of lung cancer. Really made me aware of how fast time flies, seems like yesterday, and really now feeling a bit down about how much has been lost over time. And I just happen to run across this album on Youtube so brought back some old memories.

I'm Going to See Red Elvises June 22 at Jazzbones in Tacoma, WA
It is impossible to be in the presence of these guys and not be happy and have a shitload of fun. I've seen them three times in the past and each time has been an absolute riot. They are musically excellent but also great sense of humor. Igor, the guy in the middle, likes to say, The Drunker You Are, the Better We Sound, but the truth is they sound excellent stone cold sober.

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.

I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them.

One thing all of these new UFO stories have is, they are all just words spoken by people. Less evidence than the old UFO sightings.

Bob Lazar has been saying similar things for decades. But, his story is that they are secret craft. Including all of the latest pictures, still blurry af btw, that were all released at once a few years ago. He just reemerged lately also, and he said even the new 'tic-tacs', everything, built by people.

Like Project Blue Book turned out to be a pysop, to ascertain what the public knew about top secret aircraft they were developing. This is more of the same. But, now they don't care if you think it's aliens. Project Blue Book at least came up with asinine stories, like it was swamp gas. lol

Now this guy is taking the we don't know what they are tact. It all sounds like they want to say, that now, they have a higher authority that everyone should listen to, and they speak through me...the government. But, I may be paranoid.

@Dwayne Parsons Having seen a craft and it's occupants up close and in person back in 1968, there is no doubt in my mind that something not of this Earth, at least not of this Earth in this particular timeline at this particular time, is visiting us. Bob Lazar was an interesting character to be sure, but more from an entertainment than an informative perspective. David Grusch on the other hand, has been a member of the NRO among other things, seems to be well respected by his peers, and unlike Bob Lazar, his participation in these organizations can be verified. Tic-tac's being man made, well if they were they would be smart enough not to fly them where there are training missions in place, so I rather doubt it. Regardless, if such technology is in our possession, whether it be of human or alien origin, we should know about it and be putting it into service for our energy needs, and no point to spend billions for Elon to develop a star ship if we already have the technology. And these so called "orbs" that have been encountered all over the Earth, I even found on in Google satellite images, I have personally witnessed and photographed on three occasions, on two of those occasions just a single orb, on the third a whole fleet. I realize that my experience to you is "just words", but until we force an investigation where someone is actually able to go into where these things are allegedly stored, that's all they will be.

That's my point also, there has not been any believable evidence. Not that I'm a skeptic of the concept, don't get me wrong.

I have a good friend that says he has seen a lot of very strange things in the sky also. I've personally seen, along with about five other people, ball lightning. A very odd sight, and sound.

I use to live in the Cayman Islands for a while, and my friends sightings are all from the southern end of the island. Where there is one of the biggest fault lines in the ocean. And electrical phenomenon always appears over areas like that. And other similar locations.

Tic-tac’s being man made, well if they were they would be smart enough not to fly them where there are training missions in place


On this one, Bob, was saying they are drones, under surveillance, not being 'spotted'.

I've always been aware that we can't possibly be alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. Like with the Fermi Paradox, it's just not possible that we are alone, but there has been no compelling footage yet.

That doesn't make it less, or not possible. Where have you seen these sightings?

Kernel Upgrade Tonight 11pm-12pm

Posted on June 10, 2023

I will be performing a kernel upgrade requiring reboot of all of our servers starting at 11PM. If all goes well we should finish by 11:30PM with boots and midnight by checks to make sure all services properly started, NIS bindings and NFS mounts properly completed, etc.

This will be to kernel 6.1.33. Barring the release of some substantial performance gain, I plan to stick with 6.1.x long term kernel release until at least the next LTR release. To date this has been the best performing long term release kernel we have experienced.

This one will be compiled somewhat differently, a kernel upgrade failed on our newest server before I could put it online because the nvram mod did not load, so now I am compiling the /dev/nvram support into the kernel rather than separately as a module to avoid the potential for a future recurrence.

This will affect both our paid services such as virtual private servers, web hosting, e-mail, and linux shell accounts, as well as our free services, friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com/.

Most services should be down for less than ten minutes save for yacy which takes about 40 minutes to rebuild an in memory database after reboot.

Working on New Server

Working on a new server that will, among other things, run this friendica node, friendica.eskimo.com/. The existing machine is a virtual machine with 96G of RAM on a physical host with 128G of RAM, 6 4.1Ghz cores, 12 threads, and an WD-Black 1G nvme for the database.

The new server has two 1TB WD Black drives in a RAID 1, that has /, /boot, and /boot/efi on it, everything else is on a couple of 14TB 7200 RPM rotory drives which are also configured as a RAID 1 array. It also has a 10 core I9-10900X CPU clocked at 4.6 GHz all cores. I didn't think I was gonna have the heat budget to run it that fast but I won the silicon lottery on this one and got a chip that runs stable at .85 core volts, typical for this chip is 1.29-1.35v for 3.7 GHz and higher for overclock. So must have gotten one right out of the center of the wafer.

And this machine has 256GB of RAM, so more RAM to buffer disk I/O during busy spurts when a lot of messages are coming in from other servers.

The trick was getting the machine to boot off of a software RAID device. Other people have done it but with rotary drives. There is an automated tool to do it for those sata disks but it does not recognize nvme drives so had to do everything by hand, and since I've never done it before it took me several days to figure it out but tonight I finally got it working! Yea!

So soon, this node will get a lot faster. It's also going to be on bare metal rather than virtual machine to minimize the overhead, particularly with how intensively friendica can beat mariadb.

The old system maxed out at about 10,000 tps, this should do better between more core and a RAID nvme disk array.
