Exclusive: Forced to Get Vaccine to Remain on Lung Transplant List, 49-Year-Ol d Who Survived COVID Dies After Second Moderna Shot • Children's Health Defense
In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Amy Bolin said in order to be approved for a double-lung transplant, her husband had to be fully vaccinated for COVID even though he’d had the virus and recovered. After his second Moderna shot, he developed a pulmonary embolism and heart condition and died before he could get new lungs. “In the medical field, your goal is supposed to be to improve and save people’s lives, and instead you’re giving them one option — you either do this or you can’t get a life-saving transplant,” Amy said.

@dustypenguin That depends upon whether or not you believe in reincarnation, some may die more than once but yea I read it the same way and I do believe this is a bit of an exaggeration. It is true that when they give these shots they do not aspirate and they should and I believe it is likely that those who got it directly in a vein will most certainly die in short order. Those who didn't will no doubt have a decreased life span but I doubt it will be hard limited at two years.

Yep, let's just blame it on something that's been around forever, Weed, and Ignore the Brand New Elephant in the the Room, Experimental MRNA injections.

Is it just me or does there seem to be something insincere when Klaus Schwab says he sees 1% of the worlds population owing more than the remaining 7+ billion as a problem when he is at the top of that 1%?

Web Server Hosting Friendica.Eskimo.Com


The following describes what I am working on to address slow web response. If you like tech details read on, else just know I’m working on a solution.

I am in the process of acquiring components for a new web server. The existing server is no longer able to handle the peak loads. This came about rather suddenly and is a combination of increased traffic and a larger mix of applications verses flat-files being served. Applications require CPU to execute something to create a page or possibly an interactive situation such as connecting to a shell server via the web. In particular the popularity of friendica and nextcloud has increased, and nextcloud has become ever more bloated with each new version.

There is a big plus to this, it has generated new customer interest and with that the money is available for new hardware. But we were already running some fairly high performance hardware so now really reaching for stratospheric performance. It’s easy to get a lot of threads at a low CPU speed or a few threads at a high speed but both at once are a challenge.

The existing web server is on an i7-6850k based system which is a 6-core 12-thread CPU, and it is maxed out at 128GB of RAM, that’s as much as that platform can support. Only the database is on SSD which means any fork/exec that isn’t cached involves disk access. When the machine gets busy everything gets blown out of cache because there isn’t enough RAM and that’s when performance really suffers. The machine is shared with Mint, Debian, and Ubuntu shell servers, those and the web server are all virtual machines on the same physical box.

To address this I am building a new server that will be based on an i9-10940x which is a 14 core 28 thread CPU, most importantly it is capable of addressing 256GB of RAM. The shell servers will remain on the existing machine and the web server will be on bare metal on the new server so it will have 4x the RAM available as the existing machine. Additionally, not only the database but also system programs will be on SSD in a RAID-1 configuration so that fork/exec operations will be much faster. The i9-10940x is rated at 3.6 Ghz but can be clocked at 5Ghz IF the heat can be adequately removed, so finding an adequate cooling solution is the main challenge. I’m going to start with a Noctua 15 dual fan and replace the fans with some noisy but very high CFM. The co-lo already sounds like you’re standing behind a 747 during take-off so noisy fans not a huge concern. If that does not suffice may have to go liquid but I really prefer to avoid that since maintenance of liquid cooled systems tends to be a major headache. So we’ll have more than twice the CPU cycles, 4x the memory, and much faster disk infrastructure.

One thing making this take longer is I have to get rid of two old Sparc machines in order to make the power budget this will require available. At the co-lo facility I have one 20 AMP circuit and converting the old antique free radius to the new version is some learning curve that is straining my 63 year old brain but making slow progress.

Add zstd compression support to dpkg on mxlinux


Starting with the 5.15.x kernel releases, kernel.org now uses zstd compression in the .deb packages the make bindeb-pkg creates. Ubuntu added zstd compression support three years ago but for some reason the most current mxlinux-21 still does not support it. The following also works for Debian.

I added it myself and tested by taking the source from github.com/guillemj/dpkg.git (git clone github.com/guillemj/dpkg.git which creates a source directory dpkg), cd'ing to that directory and applying a patch I found at bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrep… ... atch;msg=5 using the command patch -p1 -t -c < ../0001-dpkg-Add-Zstandard-compression-support.patch where the patch file was in the parent directory, then ./configure with the appropriate -with-zstd (as well as other compression libs), make, and make install and now my mxlinux-21 system properly handles zst compression.

I know that MxLinux is the we hate not invented here Linux but some of us for reasons of custom hardware requiring third party drivers or kernel modifications need the ability to install upstream kernels. Given the triviality of building the package with zstd installed, I'm hoping the developers might see fit to make this standard, but I'm not holding my breath.
