We need, by contrast, an educational culture in which it is good simpliciter, in and of itself, for humans to read, think, converse, wonder and ask, if for no other reason than the intrinsic value of such activities—or that such activities are, in and of themselves, sources of delight and joy, ingredient in human flourishing. When a human intelligence does these things, it cannot, by definition, be superseded or replaced by A.I., even if A.I. can simulate those things better and faster than humans can generate them.
... this is not an elitist account of intellectual virtue. As intended here, “excellence” does not mean how well one does the activity relative to other intellects; rather, the virtue lies in the doing of the activity, regardless of the relative sophistication. On this model, the genius and the simpleton can both be equally virtuous intellectually; the child reading a primer and the scholar reading a tome are equally excellent.

... As “Magnifica Humanitas” asserts: “We can embrace the technological progress that alleviates suffering and unlocks new possibilities, provided that we do not abandon the very essence of our humanity” (No. 126). But such goods are not the essential goal of intellectual virtue.

Texas has become the epicenter of the United States’ current obsession with constructing AI data centers. Companies are exploiting regulatory loopholes as they construct new facilities powered by pollutant-spewing onsite gas plants.
The rate of growth of this “shadow grid” of custom power plants, some of which are big enough to fuel entire cities, is so enormous that the only global entity installing more gigawatts of gas plants than Texas is China, according to environmental group Global Energy Monitor.

The Pollution Being Churned Out by AI Data Centers Is So Severe That It's Almost Incomprehensible

Flaming Climate
Cars kill AND burn

These “park outside” warnings have surged in recent years, growing from rare occurrences to include millions of vehicles.
An estimated 3.2 million vehicles nationwide currently have an outstanding “park outside” recall, according to vehicle history provider Carfax, which described the surging numbers as “concerning.”
The recalls also create new headaches for drivers, who suddenly wonder where it is safe to park their vehicles.

The rise in park-outside recalls is being driven by the growing number of electronics and batteries packed into modern vehicles, involving ordinary wiring, seat motors, starter relays, high-voltage batteries and more, according to experts.
They’re known as “key-off fires,” said Frank Borris, a former NHTSA investigator who now works as a safety consultant.
“The engine is off, but the circuits are still hot, and they stay hot all the time,” Borris said.
“There is a lot more electronics in vehicles today,” he added, “and that means more stuff can go wrong.”
Kane said vehicles today also run hotter and have more components packed tightly under the hood, providing more opportunities for fires to start.
“If something goes wrong, even if you park the car, the temperatures stay higher for longer than they used to,” he said.
This summer has been with flooded with park-outside recalls compared with previous years. Eight campaigns were announced in June and July alone, such as when NHTSA issued a notice, “Urgent Park Outside Warning Issued for 1 Million Jeeps,” blaming an electrical connection issue tied to power-steering pumps.
In the first seven months of 2026, there were 17 park-outside campaigns covering about 1.7 million vehicles, making this year among the busiest since NHTSA first created the park-outside designation more than a decade ago.

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".

Все российские сервисы, так или иначе, стучат. Благоразумнее всего - вообще ими не пользоваться. Но если это абсолютно необходимо - завести под них отдельное устройство. А поскольку потенциально устройство подслушивает и подсматривает - держать его в коробке в туалете.

Один из моих знакомых так и делает.

"Я бы был очень сильно удивлен если бы было как-то по-другому. Имеющейся ситуации не удивлен ни разу. Выводы делаем сами. Для себя же выводы сделал уже очень давно: ни одного сервиса Яндекса без крайней необходимости нет и не будет на телефоне. На ПК тоже стараюсь минимизировать доступ".

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...

The Confederacy lost the war.


But the planter class kept too much land.
The traitor elite kept too much dignity.
The Lost Cause kept too much cultural power.
White terror kept too much room to organise.
The courts gave Jim Crow too much legal cover.
And the federal government abandoned Black Reconstruction too soon.
That is the Confederate afterlife. See less

## **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.
