Falling down is one of my all time favorite movies. Particularly loved the portable rocket launcher street work scene.

It just occurred to me that we just had a presidential election where the president and vice president had numerous long form discussions on podcasts including significant policy discussion.

For someone like me, we're actually in a golden age. I want long form discussion and debate where ideas actually get a chance to stretch their legs, and that just won the presidency in a sweep!

It's crazy, like an anti-intellectual high intellectual golden age. One thing as bright as the sun in an otherwise dark era.

I knew it! I knew we were being threatened during Kamala's speech at the DNC, when she said "we have the most lethal force", I knew it was a threat to us #Activists who protest for humanity.

So, democrats, what were you saying about trump being a fascist? Because this IS A THREAT to our 1st amendment rights, and it's under the Biden Administration!!!

Lightdm / Arctica Greeter Configuration

When you use Lightdm in combination with Slick greeter on a machine with a whole bunch of different desktops installed, the little ball next to the login will have a drop down menu for all the desktops. The issue is if there are too many this drop down extends past the bottom of the window and there is no scroll to get to the bottom ones. So either I need to relocate the login window, which the
Slick greeter seems incapable of, or change the font to a smaller size so they can all fit on the visible portion of the window. I am having a difficult time locating the configuration file. The machine in question is running Debian Bookworm. Anyone know where this file may be located?

Thanks for sharing that song @Nanook it brings back a lot of memories to me.
I hope you enjoyed your birthday too, sorry I didn't say anything but I had a very complicated day even though it was my birthday too. I had a problem with one of my daughters, who sprained her ankle and I also received some official documents that I had to deal with very quickly because I have to renew my Identify documents to avoid any problems living in Spain but not being Spanish as I'm from the UK although I have lived in Spain for over 35 years. I hope you had better luck on your birthday than I did this year. ❤ ❤

Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.

Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.

Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.

Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.

Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.

E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.

Security
Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.

The Town That Went Feral

Have you given consideration to the following question? It is a question that Anarchists and Agorists and Libertarians DO NOT ask and one that Statists, Authoritarians and other Collectivists WILL NOT ask.

Y2038

Most aspects of Linux are ready to move past 2038, indeed I've set the clocks of some machines past that date and things mostly work, file system timestamps work if you use ext4 with 256bit Inodes for example. But what about fat32 systems? This is a potential issue since EFI REQUIRES fat32, can it handle timestamps past 2038, and if not what consequences are this for UEFI system boots?

One User Away from 3000

Our friendica site, friendica.eskimo.com/, is just one user away from 3000! Be our 3000th user!

I started this almost three years ago now after being exiled from Farcebook for suggesting the clot-shot was neither effective nor safe.

I started friendica initially on an i7-6850k machine clocked at 3.8Ghz. It was a six core 12 thread machine with 128GB of RAM. It proved to be marginally sufficient, at times it will get very behind in the work queue and then later catch up.

I replaced the machine with an i9-10980xe processor clocked at 4.8Ghz, this is an 18 core 36 thread CPU supporting 256GB of RAM. Initially it ran well but after about a month it developed stability issues, finally found it's power supply was ill.

Fixed that, it ran for about a month and then 1/4th of it's memory disappeared. The motherboard had developed a bad memory channel.

Replaced the Asus Prime 390A II motherboard with another similar motherboard, it ran for about a month and then became unstable again.

I replaced it with an AsRock motherboard. The AsRock motherboard was not able to deliver the power required by this CPU and melted the solder at the power connection of the CPU socket.

I then replaced it with a Gigabyte Aorus Master and initially it ran good. Then developed stability problems AGAIN. After much troubleshooting I determined there were two problems, the power supply had again gone south, so this time I replaced the 1KW Gigabyte power supply with a 1200 watt Seasonic supply, so far so good. The other issue we ran into is 6.11 kernels have issue with the TPM RAPL code that cause premature throttling of the CPU. Disabled the TPM in BIOS and it fixed that issue.

Then when we upgrade to 6.11.3 and later stability again problematic, put it back to the 6.11.2 kernel and stable again so we're leaving it on that kernel for now.

This machine is up to the task load wise, CPU occupancy is around 4%, lots of overhead for the occasional traffic spike.

Because I think history is important, we have conversation retention set to 9999 days on this machine. I wish there were an infinite do not delete setting in friendica but for now this is best we can do. Probably by the time 9999 days has elapsed this will have changed.

Anyway, be our 3000 user, Join us at friendica.eskimo.com/

The terrible human toll in Gaza has many causes.
A chilling investigation by +972 highlights efficiency:

1. An engineer: “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed.”

2. An AI outputs "100 targets a day". Like a factory with murder delivery:

"According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”"

3. "The third is “power targets,” which includes high-rises and residential towers in the heart of cities, and public buildings such as universities, banks, and government offices."

In 2019, the Israeli army created a special unit to create targets with the help of generative AI. Its objective: volume, volume, volume.

Former IDF chief of staff Aviv Kochavi: “once this machine was activated [in Israel’s 11-day war with Hamas in May 2021] it generated 100 targets a day. To put that into perspective, in the past we would produce 50 targets in Gaza per year. Now, this machine produces 100 targets a single day, with 50% of them being attacked.”

Remote Desktop

Shell is a command line interface to an operating system. Most shell providers offer a simple text only interface via ssh, telnet, or rlogin. With some of these providers it may be possible to execute X commands and redirect them to your display. While this allows you to use graphical commands, it is a tedious process.

While Eskimo North does provide traditional shell access, we go much further offering full remote desktop access with sound. This is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers and it is available from anywhere in the world. With a reasonably decent broadband connection, full motion video and high quality audio is possible.

Four popular remote desktop protocols are supported. All of these are tunnelled through ssh to provide encryption to protect your sensitive data and to prevent snooping on your activities or intercepting your login authentication credentials.

Guacamole Web Based Access
On our website under Web Apps, Desktop or Terminal Access, or by going directly to eskimo.com/guacamole/, login with “public” for the login and password. Then choose the server and whether you want a terminal or desktop and then login with your login and password. This allows you to access a terminal session or full remote desktop session from any HTML5 compliant web browser.

X2Go
X2Go is by far the preferable protocol to use. There are two clients that work with X2Go, the X2Go client, and PyHoca, a python client. The X2Go client is easy to configure with a simple graphical configuration interface. It tunnels all data through an SSH connection by default so there is little chance of accidentally establishing an unencrypted session and exposing critical data. It is the only remote desktop that supports sound well. It does an excellent job of eliminating X round-trip delays and it also compresses data very efficiently. It is the only remote desktop protocol that is sufficiently robust and efficient to make full motion video and audio work reasonably well over a cable modem connection. X2Go is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS/X based computers. For linux computers, it is usually included with your distribution. Try yum install x2go-client or apt-get install x2go-client.

VNC
VNC is an old X-forwarding protocol. The VNC servers we have here are configured to tunnel through ssh in order to provide a secure encrypted session. Consequently, you will either need a client that provides ssh tunnelling such as Chicken VNC (not to be confused with Chicken of the VNC which does not provide this functionality) or you will need to setup an ssh tunnel manually. VNC does not do such a good job of eliminating X round-trip delays nor does it compress as effeciently as X2Go or NX. However, VNC is available for more platforms and if you have an older computer this may be the best option.

RDP
RDP or Remote Desktop Protocol is the protocol used by Windows for remote desktop access. If you have a Windows machine, you most likely already have RDP built in so it is a quick way to get a remote desktop up and running. The performance of RDP is really not adequate for full motion video and it also lacks audio and remote printhttps://www.eskimo.com/services/free-trial/ing.

Some Cable Providers Blocking Port 22

If you are having issues connecting to a shell server using ssh, we have found at least one cable company is blocking connections to port 22, the standard ssh port.

On most of our shell servers, we also listen to port 443. If ssh times out, try “ssh -p 443 server.eskimo.com”. Substitute “server” with the desired host, i.e., ubuntu, debian, rocky8, etc.

Molten Salt Nuclear Reactors

There is an error in one of the diagrams in this video. They are talking about thorium fuel cycled molten salt breeder reactors, but one of the diagrams shows a moderator. Moderators are used in thermal spectrum nuclear reactors, they are not used in breeder reactors where fast neutrons are required for even numbered isotopes to absorb them and transmute from fertile non-fissionable fuel into fissionable fuel. You can not burn thorium-232, U-238, or even actinides in thermal reactor, but you can transmute and THEN burn them in a fast breeder reactor.

Also, the narrator is somewhat a moron and makes the statement that in a conventional reactor that fuel is in a solid "control rod", actually no, the fuel rods are seperate and distinct from the fuel rods in a conventional reactor.
