Love the quick profit, the annual raise,
vacation with pay. Want more
of everything ready-made. Be afraid
to know your neighbors and to die.

And you will have a window in your head.
Not even your future will be a mystery
any more. Your mind will be punched in a card
and shut away in a little drawer.

When they want you to buy something
they will call you. When they want you
to die for profit they will let you know.
So, friends, every day do something
that won’t compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it.

Denounce the government and embrace
the flag. Hope to live in that free
republic for which it stands.
Give your approval to all you cannot
understand. Praise ignorance, for what man
has not encountered he has not destroyed.

Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millenium. Plant sequoias.
Say that your main crop is the forest
that you did not plant,
that you will not live to harvest.

Say that the leaves are harvested
when they have rotted into the mold.
Call that profit. Prophesy such returns.
Put your faith in the two inches of humus
that will build under the trees
every thousand years.

Listen to carrion — put your ear
close, and hear the faint chattering
of the songs that are to come.
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.
So long as women do not go cheap
for power, please women more than men.

Ask yourself: Will this satisfy
a woman satisfied to bear a child?
Will this disturb the sleep
of a woman near to giving birth?

Go with your love to the fields.
Lie down in the shade. Rest your head
in her lap. Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.

As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn’t go.

Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection.

> ‘Dance,’ they told me,
and I stood still, and while they stood
quiet in line at the gate of the Kingdom, I danced.
‘Pray,’ they said, and I laughed, covering myself
in the earth’s brightnesses, and then stole off gray
into the midst of a revel, and prayed like an orphan.

"Он и нас посчитал!"
м/ф "Козлёнок, который считал до десяти"

Главная опасность цифрового рубля в том, что он очень удобен для АВТОМАТИЧЕСКИХ проверок.

И как только ФНС решит - множество мелких и мельчайших предпринимателей пострадают.

Неуловимый Джо только потому пока и неуловимый, что штраф с него меньше, чем затраты ресурсов ФНС.

А цифровой рубль эти затраты сильно снижает. И до многих Неуловимых Джо руки дойдут.

ОПЕК десятилетиями манипулировал предложением нефти, оказывая большое влияние на цену. В середине 2010-х гг на рынок вышла т.н. сланцевая нефть, что существенно снизило могущество ОПЕК.

А совсем недавно, в 2025-2026 гг появился еще дин фактор, способный существенно влиять на мировой рынок нефти. Китай, будучи крупным потребителем и накопив значительные резервы - начал управлять спросом. В отличии от ОПЕК, с ее не слишком высокой дисциплиной - китайское руководство способно принимать решения быстро и исполнять их - очень жестко.

А еще - китайское руководство способно к долгосрочному планированию. Что открывает совершенно новые, ранее невозможные сценарии.

"ОПЕК+ теряет влияние на нефтяном рынке в войне с Ираном, поскольку Китай приобретает влияние.
...
Ослабление спроса на нефть в Китае помогло установить потолок цен в этом году. Напротив, его покупательский бум в прошлом году, на долю которого, возможно, пришлось до половины роста мирового спроса на нефть, помог поддержать рынок".

Helen Morales, author of “Pilgrimage to Dollywood,” gave us a stern directive – look at the lyrics! So we dive into Dolly’s discography, starting with the early period of what Dolly calls “sad ass songs” to find remarkably prescient words of female pain, slut-shaming, domestic violence, and women being locked away in asylums by cheating husbands. We explore how Dolly took the centuries-old tradition of the Appalachian “murder ballad”—an oral tradition of men singing songs about brutally killing women—and flipped the script, singing from the woman’s point of view. And as her career progresses, the songs expand beyond the pain to tell tales of leaving abuse behind.

А крысы пусть уходят с корабля
– Они мешают схватке бесшабашной!
Владимир Высоцкий

Статистическая погрешность в платежном балансе России за первое полугодие 2026 года выросла до рекордных 13,6 млрд $.

"Чистые ошибки и пропуски" - в реалиях нашего времени, скорее всего, - отражают неучтенный («теневой») отток капитала.

Интересно, как будет меняться этот показательво времени - будет ли он расти или падать?

OSMand ersetzt Komoot


Seit einigen Tagen arbeite ich intensiv mit der App OSMand auf dem iPhone zur Navigation mit dem Fahrrad. Die Erfahrungen sind sehr positiv, allerdings muss man sich zunächst mal mit dem Tool beschäftigen und es kennen lernen. OSMand ist sehr mächtig und das kann verwirren. Was schätze ich besonders im Vergleich zu Komoot: Komplette Offline Navigation, sehr schnelles Re-Routing wenn man von der Strecke abkommt, vielseitiges Kartenmaterial, transparentes Preismodell und dann keine elende Werbung mehr, Verzicht auf die "Community".

Drama IO


Una tarde de viernes, mientras tomaba una taza de café, ya relajado, luego de una jornada en campo intensa (para variar). Casi me da un paro cardiaco, al percatarme que el espacio disponible en root, para actualizar mi laptop con Archlinux, me quedaba corto, muy a pesar de borrar cache. 😱

No me quedo de otra que redimensionar la partición, si no quería terminar reinstalando o borrando programas. Los 20 Gb que le asigne, se quedaron cortos.

Input

Para evitar posibles problemas con perdida de datos, un backup a un medio externo (Disco/Pendrive, NAS o Cloud) o lo que tengas a mano, siempre viene bien.

En mi caso, use Ventoy + archivo ISO de Gparted Live, como herramienta para la misión de redimensionado, en un pendrive.

URL's:

- gparted.org/livecd
- Ventoy

Ventoy, es una herramienta de código abierto para crear una unidad USB de arranque para archivos ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI. Basta solo arrastrar y soltar archivos a la unidad y carga todo en su menú en el arranque

No olvidar, tener la carga de batería al 100% y/o su cable de poder a mano (no sabemos cuando durara el proceso). Ademas de cruzar los dedos para que la energía eléctrica no nos abandone (En zona rural, es habitual, sea por causas climáticas, se pueden caer los postes, o porque algún "burro" se le ocurrió quemar su desmonte cerca a estos)

Luego del arranque e ingreso a Gparted, manipule la partición, moviendo 10 Gb a la posición contigua a la partición /, para luego desde esta, redimensionar y sumar estos 10 Gb a los 20 Gb anteriores. Hasta aquí todo sencillo, ya solo faltaba aplicar los cambios, para que Gparted comience con su labor.

Horas después (sí que demoro lo suyo), termino el proceso, pero con la interrogante de sí todo estaba en su lugar, reinicie el sistema y fue grata la sorpresa, se logro el cometido, con todo en su sitio, sin perdidas.

Output

Luego de todo el drama, pude volver a actualizar sin inconvenientes, con espacio extra y supongo unos años mas de incremento del kernel y demás programas.

Buenas vibras, happy hacking!

Du meinst, wie Du bilder aus deiner Fotosammlung auf dem Handy hochladen kannst?
Ich fuerchte, das ist recht speziell. Aber allgemein wuerde ich sagen, dass Du dafuer eine entsprechende App fuer Friendica brauchst, eventuell funktioniert auch eine Mastodon App mit Friendica, und dann muss die App die Berechtigung fuer deine Fotos haben...

## **Blue Dot Fever: The Worker’s Purse and the Death of the Stadium God**


The panic is not that people have stopped loving music.

The panic is that people have started doing maths.

They are looking at rent, food, transport, debt, wages, childcare, medicine, exhaustion — and then looking at a concert ticket swollen with dynamic pricing, service fees, parking fees, VIP tiers, merch markups, drink prices, and miserable stadium seats — and saying:

**No. This is not worth my survival.**

And now the industry acts wounded.

“Why are young people killing concerts?”

They are not killing concerts.

They are refusing to bankrupt themselves for joy that has been fenced off, branded, tiered, algorithmically hyped, and sold back to them at landlord prices.

Music did not become unaffordable by accident. It was made that way by the same forces that make housing unaffordable, healthcare terrifying, food expensive, transport unreliable, and rest feel like a luxury. The worker produces the wealth, builds the venues, staffs the bars, drives the trucks, cleans the floors, streams the songs, buys the shirts — and then cannot afford the civilisation built out of their own labour.

That is the obscenity.

They rob people of leisure, then scold them for not participating in culture. They drain people’s lives of joy, then call them boring. They turn every human need into a payment plan, then act shocked when the public begins choosing groceries over spectacle.

People still want music.

They want dance, sweat, sound, communion, romance, rebellion, bass in the ribs, strangers singing the same chorus, the holy little madness of being alive in a room full of noise.

What they do not want is to be treated as wallets with legs.

And here is the great lie cracking open: **the industry is not music.**

The ticket platform is not music.
The promoter is not music.
The stadium is not music.
The brand campaign is not music.
The “cultural moment” manufactured by managers, bots, playlists, and corporate partnerships is not music.

Music is older than markets.

Music survives in small venues, basements, house shows, local festivals, workers’ choirs, queer dance nights, punk rooms, street corners, community halls, bedrooms, garages, churches, warehouses, and friends making strange beautiful noise because they have to.

The collapse of the overfed concert machine would not be the death of music.

It would be the choking of a parasite that mistook itself for the host.

So when they ask why the blue dots are multiplying, why the seats are empty, why the tours are cancelled, why the public is no longer rushing to save the luxury spectacle, the answer is brutally simple:

**You cannot underpay people, overcharge them for survival, and then demand they keep every entertainment empire alive.**

People want lives.

They want beauty.

They want leisure.

They want experiences.

They want music.

But they are tired. They are priced out. They are insulted. And increasingly, they are refusing to confuse participation with submission.

Pay for what genuinely delights you.
Support the artists and spaces that treat people like human beings.
Let the bloated machine tremble.

Music will survive.

The extraction model built around it may not.

Absolutely — here’s a **combined, sharpened version** that fuses the anarchist chorus into one flowing argument/rant. 🎤🔥

Plötzlich Facebook-Lobbyistin: Irlands einst höchste Datenschützerin wechselt die Seite


Jahrelang stand Helen Dixon in der Kritik, weil sie als irische Datenschutzbeauftragte zu nachsichtig mit Tech-Konzernen gewesen sei. Jetzt arbeitet sie für eine Anwaltskanzlei, die Meta in Verfahren gegen ihre Behörde vertreten hat. Für Datenschützende kommt das nur wenig überraschend.

Friendica Issues now resolved on Nerdica.net


As of today, during the night, the backlog of >5 Mio. worker queue items has been resolved and new posts are delivered on time again.

Hopefully it stays that way.

Counter measures were:
- increasing count of CPU cores from 8 to 24 vCPUs
- increasing memory size from 20GB to 65GB
- redundant setup of Friendica behind a load balancer, so that two virtual servers can work on the backlog

Whileas CPU and RAM are back to their old settings, the redundant setup will stay and maybe extended to a third virtual machine.
