Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be


I really liked the sound of this band, formed in 2004 in Brighton, they remind me much of the English sound from much earlier. The vocalist sounds very bright, happy, competent. The guitar sounds big, present. The percussion crisp and precise.

as i heard its not fun to living on mars, sound like mostly negatives ones living there, nazis even moved to there from earth's south pole and reptilians living there who like eat human flash like a chicken... also low atmosphere there, so most of time you have to live under ground like a worm or rat. nop, mars is not for me. but maybe can be good for all this mofos who really deserved it, yes. so maybe its not bad idea just give them fair choice soon: stay on earth but washing toilets only and for rest of life OR move to mars, free transportation can be provided in to one end, no problem. soon its will be possible, im very sure. and make earth better place for everyone. so let's see...

Test Messages


I apologize for all the test messages.

I had a situation here where I could see other peoples posts, they could see mine, I could see posts I posted on friendica if I read them on hubzilla but I could not see them on friendica.

Finally found I somehow manage to ignore myself, not sure how but I was able
to edit with mysql and remove the ignored flag after much chasing my tail.

Kinda wondered. Did all the IRC cos. get gobbled up? I bet IRC connected more people to artists they never heard of than any other media, including radio. And if you found something you liked, the person's list had all the info. You didnt have to try & write it down before you forgot it. I bought more CDs in those download years in the late 90s than I ever had. & quit immediately when they started sueing grandmothers & babies for having d/l'd music go across their AOL account (usually without their knowledge.)

How about video or podcast hosting? Ive been thinking of doing that - bible podcasts with a contrarian viewpoint. Cpanel?

Kernel Upgrade Completed


Maintenance is completed and everything is back up and running. We had some issues with both the mail server and the web server not automatically mounting all disk file systems and swap partitions so I had to go around to each machine and check these things.

friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com, and nextcloud.eskimo.com/ are all operational.

E-mail and all web hosting is operational.

Shell servers are all operational.

Kernel Upgrades Friday 4/22/2021 11PM Pacific Daylight Time


We will be performing another round of kernel updates on April 22, 2021 starting at 11pm. Also at this time we’ll be taking mail down for some additional time in order to increase the amount of RAM. This should only take a few additional minutes. The logs are indicating some memory pressure during peak times, not enough to result in swap usage but enough to reclaim buffers early which hurts performance.

All of our hosting, shell, and email servers will be affected between 11PM and approximately 11:30PM though the individual downtime for any one of them should be ten minutes or less.

Also affected are our fediverse sites friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, and nextcloud.eskimo.com/.

Deep Space Nine


Just watched the last episode of Deep Space Nine, I sure hope the authors of Star Trek are wrong and are just anthropomorphising alien civilizations because I would hate to think that even given the essentially unlimited resources that would be available we would still be fighting each other.

So Much Fun


Having so much fun tonight, tried to install the latest and greatest wine
from winehq, it didn't work well with winamp so de-installed, but something went
wrong with apt and it deleted half the operating system.

After spending about three hours re-installing missing pieces and still not
getting everything to work, I've given up and am restoring from backups. Argh!

What is interesting about this document is Dr. Fauci's involvement in AIDS, but of course the resemblance of the HIV spike protein to that of Covid-19 is just once of those wild coincidences of nature, right?

On Covid-19 and Vaccinations


So far there have been incidents of neurological damage with Pfiezer, Moderna, Astra-Xenica, and Johnson and Johnson vaccines.

Further, 1/3rd of people who recover from Covid-19 have some degree of neurological damage.

This leads me to believe some part of the spike protein being expressed by the virus itself and by the vaccines MUST either directly be responsible for this neurological damage or results in the immune system doing neurological damage.
There isn't much else in common with the virus itself and all four vaccines.

It seems the appropriate course of action is to determine what aspect is causing this damage and eliminate it from the vaccines before condemning more people to this damage.

As much as I despite Nancy Pelosi, I'm afraid if, given the chance to confer the Darwin award on someone, it would be Bill Gates. While Pelosi and others are all greedy and corrupt, only Bill Gates has the single minded agenda of global genocide.

NextCloud Moved


I made the announcement some time ago that I was going to move nextcloud. This is because in it’s old location it’s .htaccess conflicted with WordPress .htaccess when it came to well-known web addresses. To resolve this, I gave NextCloud it’s own hostname.

The OLD URL was: eskimo.com/nextcloud/

The NEW URL is: nextcloud.eskimo.com/

Please update your devices and any links to reflect the NEW URL. Some devices may not properly follow the redirect.

I’ve also updated to version 20.0.9 which is the current stable release. I am also installing and configuring a bunch of new applications including connectors to other fediverse social media.

Kernel Upgrades Completed


Kernel upgrades completed without any major incidents at 11:38 PM. Everything was mostly up by 11:15 PM, the remaining time was just checking NFS mounts and such.

friendica.eskimo.com/ and hubzilla.eskimo.com/ are available.

J&J Verses Gatis of Borg



Which is more than a little weird since Johnson and Johnson (actually their subsidiary Janssen) has vaccinated 7 million people, one death, and no serious injuries, where was between Moderna and Pfiezer has KILLED 2200+ people and seriously injured 175,000. Couldn't have anything to do with Gates and Fauci owning the CDC, Who, etc?

Kernel Upgrades 4/16 11PM PST


I am planning another kernel upgrade this Friday April 16th starting at 11pm. If all goes well it should be concluded by 11:30pm. If it does not, it may be as late as 12:30pm.

These upgrades will affect virtually all of our services including friendica.eskimo.com/ and hubzilla.eskimo.com/ Fediverse social media sites.

There is some issue with the current grub that is sometimes causing the update after installing a new kernel to fail requiring manual intervention.

WTF?


Moderna and Pfiezer have killed 2,200+ people between them and injured 145,000 but J&J has killed one and injured six in 7 million stabs and THEY are stopped while the others continue killing people. WTF?

I mean I KNOW Bill Gates owns CDC, WHO, and Mr. Biden, but common man!

Covid and Sunscreen


Listening to CBC radio, they are telling people to wear sunscreen.
99% of people who end up in the ICU with Covid-19 are vitamin D3 deficient. Vitamin D3 is mostly made in the skin in response to UV light. This is NOT the time for sunscreen.

Listening to BBC news, Ted Volker former diplomat, talking about US involvement in Ukraine and one thing they mentioned is the possibility of US providing Patriot Missile system.

Knowing that Biden owns a large amount of stock in Raytheon I wondered, who makes Patriot Missiles? Guess who! Raytheon!

Band Aids


If black people really have an issue with white band aids, then as far as I am concerned they can just make all the band aids black because I really don't give a shit if they match my skin color or not.
