Beach Boys


My wife and I attended a Beach Boys concert at the Puyallup Fair tonight. It was so much more than I expected, so beautiful, totally brought me to tears. I had expected a handful of eighty year old guys to at best perform octave downshifted renditions of tunes they could no longer sing, I was overwhelmed by their performance, every note true, harmonies just as always. They put on about a two hour show, and were ever so gracious to each other and the audience. It was just a wonderful time.

Kernel Upgrades Friday Sept 9th 11pm PDT (-0700GMT)


The release candidate kernel, 6.0.0-rc4 is working better than any kernel I’ve ever used to date, better than the last three stable releases by far in terms of performance, stability, and security. I’ve got it running on four of our busiest servers presently, and unlike 5.19.x it has not produced any CPU stalls or OOPS and runs even faster and this with all the known reptoline mitigations in place. 5.18 was stable but unusable owing to the kernel spending more time in system than user space, 5.19 remedied this but introduced some nasty instabilities, but 6.0rc4 appears to fix everything.

So if it continues to run clean on those servers, we will be upgrading the remaining servers to 6.0.0rc4 (or rc5 if it comes out between now and then) on Friday September 9th, starting at 11pm and should finish by about 11:30pm Pacific Daylight Time (-0700 GMT).

This will affect all Eskimo North services including friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, yacy.eskimo.com/, and our own website and related services at eskimo.com/ as well as virtual private servers, shared hosting, and Linux shell servers. I do not expect downtime to be more than about ten minutes on any one service.

Thorium LFTR Reactors


There are a couple of incorrect negative assertions in this video. One, the weaponization of U233, weaponization of U233 not easy else we'd have thorium liquid salt reactors everywhere, U233 half life is too short (160,000 years) resulting in radioactivity that is too high to be readily worked with for bombs, it would irradiate everyone putting them together, and two the cost of Thorium extraction, there is enough thorium as a byproduct of rare earth production that right now it is a difficult waste to get rid of, so the need to "extract" it really won't be there for some time as there the demand for rare earth's and the thorium produced as a waste is only going to increase in the short term.

Ravel - Bolero


One of my favorite classical pieces, I was introduced by a film called Allegro Non-Troppo at an International Film Festival many decades ago. Later also used in "Ten" and what could have fit Bo Derek better?

Kernel Upgrades August 26 11PM Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-0700)


We will be upgrading to kernel 5.19.4 this Friday at 11PM. I don’t know if this will address the CPU stalls or not. The number of changes to the kernel since 5.19.3 are so voluminous that I don’t have time to review all of them to see if any of them impact this problem. I do know that the issue we had is not apparently in the KVM code itself as it has also occurred in the physical hosts and in at least four different parts of the kernel, so probably a function all of these are using or something doing wild writes in memory. The ticket I opened is still not resolved. But since we know that this problem exists at least from 5.19.0-5.19.3 and going back to 5.17 is not an option since it’s past EOF and there are some serious exploits not fixed in that kernel, moving forward is the only viable option at this point.

The expected interval is approximately 1/2 hour with no single service being down for more than about 10-15 minutes.

This will affect ALL of Eskimo’s host services including virtual private servers, web and e-mail hosting, and our fediverse services friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com.

Screw and Sue


The situation we have in the world today is one of fake Jews trying to claim real Jews heritage and in the process screwing the entire world over. The Ashkenazi's are not real Jews, they are Jews by political expedience only. But they are the ones behind this world domination push, true allies of Hitler, they've learned to scream "Anti-Semitic" anytime you criticize them, yet THEY are committing genocide against the Palestinians, a TRUE Semitic people and against the rest of the world for that matter.

If you turn down Jeff Bezos - Don't Insult his Rocket


I received a job offer today as a Rocket Engineer for Blue Origin.

I turned it down because although I do have Engineering experience in several fields, rocketry isn't one of them, and though I do understand the physics, I've really allowed my math skills to languish to the point where I really would not be up to the task. Aside from that the pay he offered wasn't all that attractive.

And if I had just turned it down politely that might have gone okay but given that I do not like Jeff Bezos, the way I worded it was, "I do not wish to work on your giant blue flying penis."

Well, that was followed almost immediately by a mailbomb from hell with mail coming from everywhere EXCEPT amazones. I guess he has no sense of humor. Or it was just one of those wild coincidences. I'm sure I'm hated by a lot of libtards and LGBQT1A+G&S&K types as well.
