The Role of Human Beings


I often wonder if this is what people like Klaus Schwab have in mind, nothing but flowers. The view that humans are just a cancer on the planet. I don't see us that way.

The way I see us is part of a super organism, Gaia is real, but each species on this planet serves a purpose just like the cells in our bodies each serve a purpose.

My view is that we, humans, serve as the brain and nervous system of this super organism. Just like the brain is the most energy intensive organ in the human body, so humans are, of necessity, the most energy intensive organ in Gaia.

Flowers are beautiful, much of nature is beautiful, even humans, but without someone to comprehend that beauty, it would all serve no purpose.

Even though many people view ourselves as highly evolved, I think we actually could go much further in our evolution. And I think the only way to go into the future is to continue to move forward, like Elon Musk seems to believe, rather than backwards as Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, etc, would have us do.

In my view, this starving ourselves of energy to reduce Greenhouse issues only prolongs the problem, to the degree it actually exists, by preventing us from having the necessary resources to construct and to invent better infrastructure.

King County Covid Stats


Well it had appeared to have peaked last Wednesday but then we had a big spike this weekend of more than 11,000 cases, and we had some deaths, 11, so Omicron this week now showing a death rate of .1%, same as an average annual flu season. Unfortunately, only stats I can get locally are oddly from the New York times which being a libtard rag isn't the most reliable.

OLD CARTOON TOLD US HOW TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD

King County Omicron Definitely Peaked Last Wednesday


Today new cases were half of what they were last Friday, definitely peaked last Wednesday and an extremely fast upward climb and then downward descent it was.

Meanwhile our county won't allow us in most public venues without a vax pass even though there were ZERO deaths attributed to this wave involving more than 60,000 cases in this county alone. Got to love it, a bunch of people have the sniffles and the tyranny goes overboard.

Weird Firefox Problem


I use Ubuntu 21.10 Linux, Mate Desktop, and Firefox web browser. I have eight workspaces and have Firefox in the 2nd. However today it started following me to whatever workspace I switch to covering up what I'm trying to access. I thought maybe it was the upgrade to 96.0.1, so backed out to 96.0.0, but still the same behavior.

I wasn't sure if it was Firefox or Mate that got hosed, so I tried Chrome. Chrome stays put but all my passwords, bookmarks, etc, are in Firefox. Anybody know how to make Firefox stay anchored to one workspace?

friendica.eskimo.com / hubzilla.eskimo.com New User


One of our customers account was compromised, in spite of all the facilities in place to prevent this, and used to send spam triggering the addition of our mail server IP to abuseix. Yahoo and AOL have also blocked it for excessive spam. I have requested delisting at abuseix and with AOL and Yahoo there isn’t much to do but wait.

This will cause the sign-up e-mail to anyone at Yahoo, AOL, and any site using hostedemail.com or any site using abuseix RBL from being delivered until we are delisted.

Web Server – New Kernel Being Tested


Posted on January 17, 2022

This impacts:

friendica.eskimo.com/
hubzilla.eskimo.com/
nextcloud.eskimo.com/

We are trialing a new kernel on our web server. We were running 5.13.19 however it is past end-of-life upstream. We attempted 5.15.x but the performance of this kernel was garbage. However, I’ve tested 5.16.0 on my workstation and it performed much better than 5.15 and at least on par if not slightly better than 5.13, so I’m giving it a try on our web server (the most heavily loaded machine). If it holds up we will be upgrading all the machines next Friday the 21st between 11PM and Midnight.

If you notice any difference in the performance please let us know.
