Linux Audio Skipping


If you're running Ubuntu 22.10 or later and experience skipping of audio under wine, this issue is something fuxored with pipewire. Removing it and letting pulse do everything returns the system to operational audio. I've got 8 core i7-9900k clocked at 4.9Ghz and 32G of RAM on this box and audio was skipping with only Firefux, a few ssh and mate terminal sessions and wine running Winamp. This was a problem both after upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10 and again from 22.10 to 23.04, and in both cases removing everything pipewire and then rebooting fixed.

A Small Victory


Kaiser Permanente, which currently is my medical provider, has been requiring masks even though the law here no longer requires it.

I stated, the best studies show masks, and then only the N95 ventilator types, not your common cloth or painters masks, are at best 1-2% effective at preventing the spread of covid-19.

I stated the studies show that masks also INCREASE the risks of bacterial infection.

I got a letter today stating that they had considered my arguments and have elected to drop mask requirements except in the cases where local jurisdictions require them by law.

It's a small victory to be sure, but it IS a victory and one I wanted to post to encourage you, to fight for what you know is right and bring an end to this tyranny.

See about 7 minutes into this video.


Many of our supposed elected officials and some appointed have not taken the appropriate oath of office and sworn allegiance to the constitution and therefore are unqualified for the positions they hold. This is a non-trivial portion of our government.

BRICS and the so-called death of the US Dollar IS BULLSHIT, Here is data, and here is why!


The dollar has fallen about 30% against the Brazilian real but only about 1% against the Indian Rupee, has remained essentially steady (within 1% over 25 years) against the Chinese Yuan,and has gained 4% over the Russian Ruble, so the data does not at all support the conjecture of a doomed US dollar. I assume you are some investor asshole trying to pump your gold and silver assets up. The reason it can fall against Brazil is because the Brazilian economy was fuxored and is gradually recovering.

The reason it hasn't fallen or changed significantly with India or China is because we are their largest export market by a factor of about 400% over their next largest trading partner in both cases and it isn't in their financial interest to let it fall.

The reason it's gained against the Ruble is that our economy is larger than Russia's so while both are hurt by this stupid proxy war in the Ukraine, the Russian economy has been hurt ever so slightly more.

So while DemonRat spending has undoubtedly not been a good thing for our economy, there is NO real world evidence that the dollar is in immediate danger of collapse. China and and India are the worlds two largest economies after ours and we are their largest export market for both, consisting approximately of 80% of their exports in both cases, and if they allow the dollar to slip much relative to their own currencies, they lose 80% of their export market, they aren't likely to allow that to happen.

Kernel Upgrade Saturday 4/15/2023 11PM


Posted on April 15, 2023

I will be performing a kernel upgrade tonight starting at 11pm, expecting to finish by 11:30pm. Expected downtime for most services less than ten minutes, yacy.eskimo.com may take as much as 45 minutes owing to the rebuilding of the database after reboot.

This upgrade will affect all of Eskimo North’s services, shell accounts, UUCP, e-mail, web hosting, mail lists, and virtual private servers.

It will also affect our free services, friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com/.

Is It Even Legal


I received an e-mail from Adam Schiff trying to solicit campaign contributions. What is particularly odd about this is that I am in Washington State NOT Californicatia. Is it even legal to solicit campaign contributions from people you do not represent?

At any rate, my response was rather impolite:

What you and your but fucking friend from Germany, Klaus Schwab, are trying to do to the world and our country is unacceptable. Please fuck off, go rot in hell, and do not ever contact me again.

Do I feel bad about that level of impoliteness? Well perhaps only to the gay community for associating them with Klaus Schwab though he kind of made the
association and really I just acknowledged it.

Zombie


I'm wondering what is being depicted with the children-zombies in gold, are these kids drained of adrenochrome?
in reply to Nanook

A number of thoughts:

1. Don’t create a rule you can’t enforce. Unless they go into every home, one by one, they don’t know if you have a gas appliance other than a stove.

2. Natural gas is the one energy source they cannot stop the flow of. So they have to ban its use.

3. Natural gas is the one fuel that burns clean enough to refute the green agenda, so they have to ban its use.

4. Natural gas is the one energy source we have in abundant supply, so they have to ban it’s use.

Agree 110%


Most of the time, I'm not too excited about these videos, but on this topic I agree with him 100%, I'm often trying to do edgy marginal things with computers and having decent diagnostic capability is very helpful.

Reparations


If the Blacks in Californicatia keep pushing for legal theft, i.e., reparations, then I suspect our nation is going to end up back here:
I'm also wondering how it is that Mel Brooks hasn't stumbled across this song.

Kernel Upgrades Sat April 1st 11PM


Posted on April 1, 2023

Will be attempting an upgrade to kernel 6.1.22 tonight starting at 11pm. Expect to be finished at least with the reboots by 11:30pm and should have all NIS and NFS dependencies restored by midnight if not sooner. Interruptions of individual services should not exceed about ten minutes with the exception of the Yacy search engine, yacy.eskimo.com/, this because Yacy rebuilds it’s database after each reboot and this process takes in excess of half an hour.

This will affect all Eskimo North services including virtual private servers, shell servers, e-mail, web hosting, and our free services including friendica.eskimo.com, hubzilla.eskimo.com, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com/.

The 6.1.22 kernel has some minor fixes relative to the 6.1.20 kernel we are presently running so I do not expect any significant operational changes.

I know these are real


I know these things are real, I've photographed them on three different occasions, twice over Puget Sound and once over Juanita Beach, the first two times they were hovering stationary in the air, the last time there was a group of eight of them moving fairly rapidly, and I know those that I photographed were about eight feet in diameter because an identifiable aircraft flew through the same clouds at the same level and I was able to identify that craft, find out the diameter of the craft, and by counting pixels, calculate the size of these orbs. The orbs I photographed had exactly the same appearance. Lastly I've also spotted on on Google Earth.

They Want To Kill Our Children


Even though children 6-17 are at essentially ZERO risk from Covid, and really the current Omicron variety is nothing more than a moderate cold even for adults, and even though the FDA has announced that the vaccines cause sudden death, and even though we know it's caused approximately 20,000,000 sudden deaths world wide thus far, the CDC is recommending ALL children 6-17 be vaccinated.

They are doing their best to kill our children, there is just no other plausible way to interpret this.
