As I post this I am on my 6th Facebook Jail. Why do I go back? Well at this point primarily to irritate Fuckerberg and bring more of the remaining sane people who haven't found the Fediverse here. I've had this Friendica node up for about eight months now and we've gathered about 400 members so far. Doing my part to cancel cancel culture.

My first cat I adopted was a black cat that when we went to the pet adoption place, they had probably a hundred cats all in little cages. Fred was the only cat that didn't just lay there, he came up to the cage door and stuck his paws out between the bars to try to get our attention. Essentially he chose us. My wife has bought a couple of our dogs from breeders but in both cases they were dogs that couldn't be papered, one was too short the other too tall to meet breed standards and so would have ended up in a shelter or put down. All of my cats and my dogs were either feral or adopted. And if you think you can't get a purebred from an adoption agency, wrong, my Siamese cat is from Paws, one of my Dobermans and a Weimaraner were both from shelters. You might have to wait a little longer or look a little harder but they can be found if that is your preference. Personally I actually think mixed breeds are often superior, purebreds are inbreeds and have and have all the genetic baggage that comes with that. Also, a lot of breeds have reputations but the truth is there are no bad breeds, just bad owners that raise dogs and cats irresponsibly and do not properly socialize them. Dobermans, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, all have reputations but actually if properly socialized can be wonderful pets, even around small children. In fact I think they tend to tolerate small children much better than many smaller breeds.

Most of our pets have been adoptions from a shelter. Wonderful dogs and cats. We did get a pair of Walker Hounds from a friend of a friend of my husbands. That did not work out well at all. All they wanted to do was run really fast for a long way. They were very difficult. I can see why most people keep them in a large cage, but I would not do that to an animal. People get them to hunt, and cage them in between.

There are sane solutions to the worlds problems that increase human well being and don't require that we kill off seven billion people. Fuck gates and his laboratory meats and killer viruses. There are better ways.

@John Doe And that's the thing there are great and sustainable solutions that IMPROVE our well being economically, healthwise, freedoms, that are available, we do not need this draconian bullshit that Nelson Rockefeller and all his cronies try to jam down our throats. And that's why I share them here, this is one example, molten salt reactors are a solution for energy, and if you solve energy then desalinating water is not an issue, and water no longer is a problem, etc. Space mining will solve mineralogical shortages. There are solutions for all problems that improve rather than harm the human condition which are sustainable. By helping to make them well known, we can counter the elites agenda to use these problems as a means to control and limit us, our freedoms, and well being.

Anton now doubt a nice person but not as knowledgeable about molten salt reactors as he could be. First, on the safety mechanism that drains the reactor tank into much larger drain tanks that separate the fuel enough so that it becomes non-critical, it is a melt plug, a plug of reactor salt/fuel that is frozen and kept that way by active cooling, if that cooling fails or if the reactor overheats (essentially impossible because of the self-regulating nature), it melts, and drains the salt / fuel into a much larger drain tank or tanks where the fuel is too spread out to remain critical. Since it is entirely passive, mechanical failure of this device is impossible, except for the possible failure of active cooling that under normal operations keeps it from melting, and if that happens the reactor shuts down. Another thing Anton did not mention is that the fuel cycle of a liquid salt reactor involves continuous reprocessing so fission products are continuously removed and thus when the melt plug melts, the fuel does not generate sustained heat like it does in a light water reactor even after being shut down. Third these reactors can burn uranium or plutonium and in fact need it to get started, there after they breed thorium-232 which is a fertile but NOT fissile material into uranium-233 which IS fissile, further they also breed any of the actinides that are not fissile into fissile isotopes so they burn all the actinide products, which are the portion of normal nuclear waste that is normally very long lived taking up to a million years to cool off to the point where they equal the radioactivity of the ore they were mined from, and leaves only fission products which are at the same level as the ore they were mined from within 300 years, transforming a million year problem into a 300 year problem. And there are industrial uses for many of those so even not all of that need become waste. Another reason these reactors make particular sense to China is that Thorium is a byproduct of rare-earth refining and China is the worlds largest supplier of rare Earth's thus they have a lot of thorium trailings from these operations so this fuel is essentially a free byproduct of another lucrative operation. Regarding the corrosive issues, the corrosion issues actually were more with another related technology, there were molten sodium reactors, sodium IS highly reactive both with metals containing it and air. Japan has operated these reactors and had fires result from leaks because sodium will spontaneously combust when exposed to air. Lastly, Anton is WRONG about not needing water, water may used in the secondary cooling loop or a secondary salt may be and a tertiary loop with water is used to turn turbines, at al rate, water is needed at some point, and is turned to steam to turn generators, it just is not used in the reactor vessel itself which makes the whole thing infinitely safer. Also, Anton is wrong about the purpose of the graphite rods, they are not control rods, they are moderator rods, the nuclear cross-section of most fissile isotopes is much larger to slow neutrons than fast ones, so by slowing the neutrons the graphite rods increase the reaction rate, but some fast neutrons are needed for breeding which is necessary to burn thorium or u-238 (u-238 is bread to pl-239, thorium-232 is bread to u-233). They do have control rods but they contain a neutron absorber rather than moderator, such as beryllium. However, they largely self-regulate and adapt their power output to the load automatically by thermal expansion of the salt without operator input. Conventional light water reactors can only burn the U-235 isotope of Uranium which is only .7% of the natural uranium and because of the accumulation of fission products they can't even burn that bit completely. Molten salt reactors can also burn the U-238 which is 99.3% of natural uranium and can achieve a complete burn as fission products are continuously removed. One product that is produced that is radioactive and ultimately vented to the atmosphere is tritium. Tritium has a half life of 12.3 years and therefore is highly radioactive, but because it has a short biological half life, that is to say it does not stay in your body long, it is not as biologically dangerous as that half-life would indicate, further being extremely light, it rises high in the atmosphere. Now, if we had controlled hydrogen fusion also operational, we'd have a demand for that tritium so it would no longer be a waste product.

Tickless Kernels – Sequoia Exploit
Posted on July 23, 2021

I have removed all tickless kernels prior to 5.13.4 because they are vulnerable to a recently announced root exploit that goes by “Sequoia”, CVE-2021-33909.

5.13.4 tickless kernels are available for all Debian and now for all Redhat based Intel and AMD x86-64 systems (any 64 bit Intel or AMD CPU). Previously I only made ‘.deb’ packages available but because I had some Redhat based systems for which the distributor has not made 5.13.4 available yet, I compiled for this platform as well.

There are two kernels provided. The ‘client’ kernel meant for home systems and work stations, optimized for low latency, it is 1000HZ clock tickless (tickless means clock interrupts cause context switches only when there is work scheduled, this saves a lot of wasted CPU cycles) and fully preemptive. The ‘server’ kernel is meant for servers and is optimized for maximal throughput and has a 100HZ clock and is non-preemptive. It is also, like the client kernel, tickless.

On servers, the tickless feature is particularly useful where a large number of virtual machines are hosted as each machine adds to the host CPU load and all those clock interrupt reschedules add up to a lot of wasted CPU cycles.

On laptops the tickless kernel is useful because saving CPU cycles extends battery life.

To install these kernels, first download ALL three ‘.deb’ files for Debian based distributions or both ‘.rpm’ files for RPM distributions located in the client or server directory. You can download via the web at eskimo.com/kernel, or via ftp at ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/pub/kernel using anonymous login. If you are behind NAT, to use ftp after you login type passive to put the server in passive mode.

Then on Debian based systems, install with dpkg -i *.deb. On Redhat based systems install with rpm -i *.rpm. If on Redhat you get a complaint about headers conflicting with existing header package, remove the existing package with rpm –nodeps -e existing (whatever the existing package name is). The –nodeps is important here otherwise removing the headers will remove some 300-odd dependent packages.

If you run into any issues, please generate a ticket at: eskimo.com/support/osTicket/. Thank you.

9/11 and the Hutchison Effect


When I first started to watch this video, my first impression was, "break out the tinfoil hats", but once you see the evidence that changes. Very very interesting. I found the parallels she draws with the Hutchison effect interesting because I have met John Hutchison in person, examined some of the items he's affected with his apparatus, and the parallels are undeniable. One thing in particular that I found similar was that he had a piece of aluminum with a piece of wood embedded in it. Aluminum melts at around 660C or 1220F, but wood combusts at around 450F yet this wood had no indication of charring or heat damage. The aluminum also seemed to become fluid in a way that formed a strange fibrous pattern. You see that in some of the 9/11 artifacts.

Shot $99 keyboard to hell in 1/2 second


Just dumped a glass of diet coke down my G910 keyboard. Now it's dead,
back to using a shitty HP keyboard that I can't stand as it has no "feel" to the keys, they're too close together for my fat fingers, and it's not lit so difficult to see in a dimly lit room. It, however, has survived many a coke spill, Logitech dead on it's first encounter with the deadly liquid.

@poukram Yes but it DOES take some getting used to to learn how to use it effectively. You're only going to get results from sites you crawl and sites that you crawl link to however by crawling many levels deep you can get to a lot of sites this way but it will take a lot of resources. And you need to set the memory limit way larger than the default they have it set to, I found around 24GB was needed for it to operate efficiently, otherwise it spends all it's time in java memory reclamation and very little crawling.

@poukram It depends upon what you're interests are, how broad or narrow you want to be. I felt the mainstream media was adequately represented so I focused on alternative sites like above top secret, the government agency sites like cia.gov, fbi.gov, and nsa.gov, medical info sites like nih.gov and johnhopkins.edu, etc. They will have links to other sites, other sites will link to other sites, and you can have yacy index arbitrary levels deep.

I finally saw the 2nd half of this and you are right. It is very much a worthy viewing. He pointed to what we all know but seem to forget. That the evil people who run this world have only one thing to fear. That is our unity. If we could only come together enough to counter and question every lie (they) tell, their empire would collapse like the hot air it was built upon.

It is a hoax, if you really look back in history you'll see the highest temperature extremes were during the 1930's, if you look at unadjusted data, you'll see the temperature has stayed within .1C worldwide since 1980, and if you look at the price of oil which has gone from $30 a barrel six months ago to over $70 a barrel today you should understand why this hoax is being pulled. The Democrats are everything they say the Republicans are, friends of big-oil, better believe doubling the price is doing big oil a big favor, while stagnating the economy slows the investment in newer cleaner sustainable energy sources. They say they are friends of the black man but they are the party that enslaved them and fought a civil war to keep them enslaved, and today they enslave them economically, and by stagnating the economy they keep them impoverished.
