Instead of Limiting Our Freedom - Fix the Infrastructure

Massachusetts Doesn't Want YOU Driving - Limiting and Tracking Your Mileage


I blame this man:


Instead of limiting our freedom to travel, to eat, to own what we want, to go where we want, and do what we want, while Klaus and Gates flying around the world in their private jets, let's instead get the infrastructure in place to provide the energy we need so that we can ALL do what we want WITHOUT negatively impacting our environment.

Energy is central to everything, to food, water, shelter, the essentials, but also to travel, entertainment, enjoyment of life.

Burning dead dino's or plants is not sustainable. What is sustainable long term is hydrogen fusion, what is sustainable short term is fast spectrum molten salt breeder reactors. Let's put the effort we need to do bring these technologies online and put Schwab to bed with his kitty.

It's not global warming I am worried about, it is the increasing cost of extraction driving increasing cost of food production and limiting expansion, and in the face of technology that could totally eliminate these concerns. We will never get anywhere near the alleged global warming figured projected because of the simple fact that we've already extracted all the easy to get at fossil fuels and those that remain are becoming increasingly expensive. So it isn't a couple degrees of warmth or someone's beach house that concerns me, its' being able to eat.

Ordered an ARC B50 Today

Ordered a Intel Arc Pro B50 16GB 128-bit GDDR6 PCI Express 5.0 x8 AI and RT Workstation SF card today.

There were a number of things that made this card desirable. First, it's Intel which means the drivers ship with the kernel distribution so you never have to fight drivers not matching the kernel as is the case with nVidia.

Second, it support vGPU passthrough. Of the non-nVidia options that do it's either Intel or AMD and AMD's GPUs with this capability are unobtainium and usually same for ARC, but these became available via NewEgg at a reasonable price.

I've been using UHD630 graphics which technically does not support this but if you disable HUC/LUC it works, however the limit of 1GB aperture meant two screens max, I want three so I can have Linux, Windows, and a Hackintosh all operating simultaneously. For me this is an ideal development environment as I can have windows from any of the OS's up simultaneously with near native performance.

It has enough memory to play with AI LLM inference, probably going to use LLAMA.

It has 4 Display ports so compatible with my existing monitor so essentially plug-n-play.

Nanook

Well not a happy camper. I have the card installed, and basic graphics is working great, I've heard of driver glitches but I have not encountered any yet.

But it was advertised as io-srv capable, but this is not exposed in the firmware of the card that I purchased. I've posed a question about this using my Intel Insiders account, hopefully someone will see fit to giving me the magic elixir.

KDE Dropping Support for X

Wayland dropping support for X windows is castrating Linux. Wayland has no networking capabilities, the main strength to X is the ability to execute on one machine and display on another.

Between SystemD and Wayland, a Linux system will almost be Windows, we just need to neuter the encryption, install some adware and spyware, break updates so about 1/3rd of the time they brick your system, and the transformation will be complete.

Age Verification Is Coming For the Internet. We Built You a Resource Hub to Fight Back.
One of the issues with "age verification" is that an effect of the suggested technologies is that they ultimatively take control of your computer. In the suggested form, they require elements that are not controlled by you, the user. It is like replacing the lock to your home's main door, for which YOU (and only you) have the keys, with an electronic, remotely controlled lock, controlled by goverments, which can lock out at any time.

Age Verification Is Coming For the Internet. We Built You a Resource Hub to Fight Back.

Antidystopia
I'm going to go to bed shortly so I can get up to get my toe debrided tomorrow but in the meantime I'm going to leave you with my most optimistic view of a postive non dystopian outcome. We succeed in getting nuclear reactors of the molten salt fast breeder design happening on a large scale, no longer energy bound we ramp up the use of AI and rapidly make progress in understanding our biology and improved pharmaceutical manipulations and others, we learn to repair cellular damage and regenerate stem cells, we learn to reset the epigenetic expression to desirable states, our longevity becomes bound only by accidental deaths, population booms, but it's OK because with our abundant energy and knowledge we can now create all the food we need from a small amount of land with vertical farming, and we accept that privacy is not really all that important because we are all really of one source anyway and with everybodies material needs met, greed and selfishness no longer a thing, because AI observes and learns from our improved behavior it's behavior also is cooperative, we develop a circular economy locally and we learn to exploit space resources for needs that would require damage to our environment if extracted locally assuming they were even available locally, our knowledge of physics improves as does that of reality in general, this eventually allows faster than light and what we would label time travel only as we discover the multi-verse time travel is not quite what it seems, it's possible to go back and alter the past without causality loops because it just becomes another universal bifurcation point.

Oui, on est au pays des Licornes me semble-t-il….. La réalité et notre modèle économique basé sur la croissance infinie pose un sérieux problème à ce tableau idéalisé que vous faites. Je ne dis pas qu'un jour tout ceci ne se réalisera pas... mais en attendant, y a beaucoup d'obstacles sur la route… c'est un enjeu complexe voir compliqué ! Pour ce qui est de voyager plus vite que la lumière, c'est impossible. E=mc2, cette équivalence de notre bon ami Einstein nous interdit d'atteindre ladite vitesse ! À la vitesse lumière, la masse d'un corps devient infinie, ce qui implique qu'il lui faudrait une énergie toute aussi infinie pour l'atteindre, et ce, toujours selon cette équivalence entre masse et énergie, E=mc2, c'est impossible !

Cette articles contient de nombreuses affirmations qui ne sont pas étayées par la communauté scientifique. On y reprend des récits amplifiés ou incorrects plutôt que des données vérifiables. Il est dit : Que les vaccins COVID-19 causent des taux extrêmement élevés de fausses couches (80–90 %) ! Ah misère ! Que les vaccins détruisent la capacité reproductive des hommes et des femmes. Qu'il existe un phénomène de « shedding » (Excrétion virale) par lequel les vaccinés affecteraient la fertilité des personnes autour d’eux. Ces assertions ne sont pas basées sur des études publiées dans des revues scientifiques reconnues et mélangent des chiffres ou interprétations douteuses avec des messages dramatiques.

Ce que disent les données scientifiques et consensus des experts médicaux :
- Aucune preuve crédible que les vaccins COVID-19 réduisent la fertilité chez les hommes ou les femmes. Des organisations comme l’American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, l’AMA, ou les agences sanitaires internationales déclarent officiellement qu’il n’y a pas de lien entre vaccination et infertilité.

Études scientifiques
- Une revue systématique et méta-analyse (plusieurs études combinées) n’a trouvé aucune association entre les vaccins COVID-19 et des mesures de fertilité. D’autres études sur des couples essayant de concevoir ont montré aucune différence dans les taux de grossesse entre vaccinés et non vaccinés. Les craintes biologiques (comme la réaction contre une protéine placentaire - syncytin-1) ont été démontées par plusieurs recherches.

Mécanisme biologique
- Les vaccins COVID-19 autorisés n’altèrent pas l’ADN et ne créent pas de mécanisme plausibles par lequel ils pourraient bannir ou endommager de façon permanente les ovaires, les testicules ou l’utérus.
Pourquoi ce type d’article est considéré comme désinformation &
- Il utilise des statistiques non vérifiées ou mal interprétées.
- Il ne cite pas d’études publiées et revues par des pairs.
- Il propose des narratifs émotionnels plutôt que des arguments scientifiques.
- Il alimente des théories déjà identifiées comme fausses ou trompeuses par des agences de santé.
Des analyses spécialisées montrent que la désinformation autour des vaccins et de l’infertilité est l’un des mythes les plus persistants de la pandémie, malgré les preuves du contraire. ツ

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macroblogging Services

These platforms support long‑form posts, similar to Facebook or blogs. They are ideal for:

  • Fiction and poetry
  • Technical papers and news
  • Social commentary and discussion

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the enti
re network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. Ther
e are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s prim
ary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Microblogging Services

These platforms support short‑form updates, similar to Twitter. They are best suited for:

  • Quick news flashes and status updates
  • Links to longer articles or media
  • Casual conversation and rapid interaction

Posts are limited in length (e.g., 500 characters on Mastodon), which encourages brevity and immediacy. Longer posts from other federated platforms appear as previews with links back to the source.


NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
Nextcloud If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. We now have this site also properly federated so any images you share can be viewed on any other Fediverse site by users who follow you, and you can view images posted by anyone on any fediverse site whom you follow.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl,
but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. It is provided along with shared web hosting under our domains. It provides an efficient method of
developing or editing your website interactively. It can also be used to schedule tasks for things like automatically updating your site, and other functions. 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. That is their primary purpose although you can also use them for eggdrop or other IRC bots, program development (all GNU languages supported and then
some), 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[color]
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.

[color=darkblue]Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.

Available Shell Servers

We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.

All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.

Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).

Alma.Eskimo.Com
This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid.
Anduinos.Eskimo.Com
Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others.
Debian.Eskimo.Com
Debian Bullseye has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded.
Fedora.Eskimo.Com
Fedora Rawhide can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed.
Kali.Eskimo.Com
Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites.
Manjaro.Eskimo.Com
Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed.
Mint.Eskimo.Com
Mint is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu.
MxLinux.Eskimo.Com
MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS.
PopOS.Eskimo.Com
popOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others.
Rocky8.Eskimo.Com
Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.

Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com
Ubuntu can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools.
Zorin.Eskimo.Com
Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.

Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.'

We also offer web hosting, e-mail, and virtual private servers.

The constitutional inversion

The constitutional inversion

Fourth Amendment: Should protect against surveillance without a warrant. “Implied consent” is used to bypass this.

First Amendment: Should protect your right to share knowledge. Laws like DMCA criminalize disclosure, again bypassing constitutional intent.

Judicial capture: Courts often side with corporate/government interests, treating implied consent as valid even though it contradicts the spirit of constitutional protections.

#U.S. LAWMAKERS UNVEIL SWEEPING #CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL…A MAJOR STEP TOWARD #FEDERAL OVERSIGHT -- What Stands Out Most What jumps off the page is how comprehensive this bill is. It isn’t just crypto regulation, it’s a full integration blueprint for how digital assets get absorbed into the U.S. financial architecture. The CFTC would become the primary regulator for digital commodities, creating a single national standard and pulling spot markets onshore. That’s a big deal geopolitically. It reasserts U.S. control over an ecosystem that’s been scattering across offshore exchanges, tax havens, and gray zones.

Sent this to Pissy, er, Patty Murray

I voted for you in previous elections but must admit I did not in the last because of differences of opinion over spending, however I am concerned about the future of our country and I think perhaps there is some common ground so I am taking this opportunity to communicate with you.

We spend too much time and resources squabbling over the size of our piece of an ever dwindling pie. Instead we need to focus on making the pie larger so that all Americans and the world at large can benefit. While there is a lot of hype about global climate change, and not to dismiss the reality of it but the more existential threat is not being a few degrees warmer but being hungry because we've exhausted all the economically recoverable fossil fuels and haven't gotten a replacement in place.

It is clear that neither solar nor wind power can scale to the degree that we require and that neither can provide base load power, and that most if not all energy storage solutions are prohibitively expensive.

In my view the most immediately available scalable technology is fast spectrum molten salt nuclear reactors. Why this technolog? Molten salt because they are safe by physics, not by intervention either automated or manual. They are automatically load following and melt down proof because the fuel is already intentionally liquid. They have very little risk of releasing radioactivity into the environment because they operate at near atmospheric pressures not several hundred atmospheres like boiling or pressurized water reactors. Because the salts have a very high boiling point, they can be operated at higher temperatures providing improved thermal dynamic efficiency. Because they have no water for cooling in the vessel, there is no separation into hydrogen and oxygen that can create a hydrogen explosion as in Fukushima, because they are fast spectrum, there is no moderator, hence no graphite fires as with Chernobyl.

Why fast spectrum? Because a fast spectrum reactor can not only breed fertile fuel like thorium and U-238 into fissile fuels, and then burn them in the reactor, but they can also take actinides from existing nuclear waste and burn that eliminating the long term component of existing nuclear waste turning a million year legacy into a 300 year manageable problem and extracting more than 100x the energy from the waste as the old reactor extracted from the fuel.

To encourage the development and deployment of these reactors, I would suggest funding the nuclear regulatory agency to develop new rules taking into account the much safer safety profile of this type of reactor. Also, to make the deployment economically feasible on a large scale, I would suggest that we move from a reactor licensing arrangement to a type approval type of licensing similar to the way the FCC type approves many consume electronic devices.

Lastly, because there is zero evidence that low levels of radiation increase cancer rates, I would suggest moving to a "low as possible" model to a "not more than 10% of background radiation" model, the former is not practically obtainable at any cost and hence the stall of the US nuclear program because even if you've got a mile of lead around the reactor you can add another mile. It makes more sense to define an attainable engineer-able and measurable goal.

Please consider doing something more positive four our country than just bickering over what the "other side" is doing.

Yours sincerely,

Robert John Dinse

British physician and consultant pediatrician Dr. Ellen Cressels issued a public call for solidarity from pro-Palestine supporters, urging them to stand by her as she faces a targeted campaign by pro-Israel lobbies and smears from certain Jewish groups.

Efforts are underway to suspend her medical license in the UK as a means of punishing her for speaking out in support of Palestine.

A hearing was held on November 14 at the Interim Orders Tribunal to review the potential suspension of her license to practice medicine.

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macroblogging Services

These platforms support long‑form posts, similar to Facebook or blogs. They are ideal for:

  • Fiction and poetry
  • Technical papers and news
  • Social commentary and discussion

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you.

@roscoeellis Something people need to understand about the immune system, every time it is activated, stem cells divide to answer the insult, when they do the telomeres on the step cells, the end caps marking the end of chromosomes, shorten. When they get too short these telomeres prevent further cell divisions and you no longer have a functional immune system. All of these insane number of vaccines injected in early years deplete your immune system early and you will have a less robust or maybe no immune system at all in your old age.

For over two decades, Dr. Andrew Wakefield has been vilified for reporting what countless parents saw with their own eyes — that their healthy children regressed into autism following vaccination.

Now, in our landmark McCullough Foundation report, Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder, we bring together over 300 studies confirming that vaccines are the dominant risk factor among all environmental and iatrogenic influences

thefocalpoints.com/p/dr-andy-w…

Dr. Andy Wakefield Vindicated: “The Parents Were Right — The Doctors Were Wrong."

McCullough Foundation’s landmark autism report overturns 25 years of lies — and vindicates Dr. Wakefield after decades of attacks for exposing vaccine risks.

Visit https://friendica.eskimo.com/

I'd like to invite you to visit my friendica node. It is unique in many ways. First, it doesn't expire messages, so you can follow conversations all the way back to 2020.

Second, it's fast, it's running on 18 core 36 thread i9-10980xe machine overclocked at 4.5ghz all cores with 256G of RAM, nvme RAID1 database, RAID1 CMR rotory for images and such, and enough RAM dedicated to the innodb database that it essentially operates out of RAM, even temporary tables are on tmpfs, so even those are in RAM.

I don't have a lot of rules, I just ask avoid Ad Hominem Attacks, avoid posting anything illegal, and if the material you are posting is not suitable for children mark it as sensitive.

Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. It is provided along with shared web hosting under our domains. It provides an efficient method of
developing or editing your website interactively. It can also be used to schedule tasks for things like automatically updating your site, and other functions. 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. That is their primary purpose although you can also use them for eggdrop or other IRC bots, program development (all GNU languages supported and then
some), 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[color]
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.

[color=darkblue]Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.

Available Shell Servers

We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.

All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.

Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).

Alma.Eskimo.Com
This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid.
Anduinos.Eskimo.Com
Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others.
Debian.Eskimo.Com
Debian Bullseye has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded.
Fedora.Eskimo.Com
Fedora Rawhide can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed.
Kali.Eskimo.Com
Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites.
Manjaro.Eskimo.Com
Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed.
Mint.Eskimo.Com
Mint is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu.
MxLinux.Eskimo.Com
MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS.
PopOS.Eskimo.Com
popOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others.
Rocky8.Eskimo.Com
Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.

Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com
Ubuntu can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools.
Zorin.Eskimo.Com
Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.

Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.'

We also offer web hosting, e-mail, and virtual private servers.

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macroblogging Services

These platforms support long‑form posts, similar to Facebook or blogs. They are ideal for:

  • Fiction and poetry
  • Technical papers and news
  • Social commentary and discussion

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the enti
re network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. Ther
e are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s prim
ary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Microblogging Services

These platforms support short‑form updates, similar to Twitter. They are best suited for:

  • Quick news flashes and status updates
  • Links to longer articles or media
  • Casual conversation and rapid interaction

Posts are limited in length (e.g., 500 characters on Mastodon), which encourages brevity and immediacy. Longer posts from other federated platforms appear as previews with links back to the source.


NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
Nextcloud If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. We now have this site also properly federated so any images you share can be viewed on any other Fediverse site by users who follow you, and you can view images posted by anyone on any fediverse site whom you follow.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl,
but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
