Seen a documentation about poland recently. A new development there is that the state is conducting military training for every citizen interested. They showed a young women, a hairdresser in her dayjob, taking part in shooting practice. The acceptance of the program within the society was generally good. I would also take part if we had those here, considering what happened in Ukraine, although I'm a pacifist.

I just read the movie plot (which seems to differ from the book) on wikipedia and searched in a non-logged-in google for "movie horror two friends dimensions drug dealer jamaican". First result is the wanted movie. What are people searching for that they get such bad results?

Nice. I started Ratchet & Clank on PCSX2 yesterday. Holy hell is that Emulator a work of art. The graphical options for the emu make that PS2 game still shine and the gameplay is lotsa fun. Sadly the libretro core for Retroarch/Emulationstation bugged out for me and was slow compared to standalone PCSX2.

Also I'm still puzzled how it's possible there are so many retro-achievements for so many games. I looked up how to implement them and it's really complicated. I totally underestimated how big the retro games scene still is. I really want to get into the netplay thing.

Laying hens also are productive way beyond their ancestors with 10-20 eggs, which takes a big toll on their bones. According to a study from the university of Kassel an estimated 23-69% per flock come to the slaughtering line with broken keelbones, wings and legs from egg calcium depletion, rough handling and crammed cages.

Egg factory farming is an all around brutal and despicable industry. Look up what forced molting and maceration means and get your own chickens if you're able or eat scrambled tofu.

Is Peru that country where lots of people, even older ones, with physically demanding jobs chew coca leaves before going to work?

Then it must've been bad luck. I had plenty more over the course of a few month with a CS GO server and it wasn't the game server because I often couldn't login via SSH or the session just froze. And I definitely took precautions with a firewall, fail2ban and no root, no password only certificate SSH login (a tried and tested combination of measurements I use on plenty other ionos VPS).

You're right the webinterface doesn't really matter but the overall impression was much more professional on ionos with a slick interface for the config of the hw firewall.

I had not so good experiences with Contabo lately. Lot of outages and they withdrew 2 more month after the end of my subscription. Ionos had no outtages so far (5th month). In addition their web interface is better than Contabos.

KDE? You tried "Systemsettings > Power Management > Energy Saving > Dim Screen" maybe already? I don't have what you're describing either und Arch nor Endeavor.

I saw it in the evening news show of a main TV channel (Das Erste) here in germany that Gov. Huckabee of Arkansas introduced a law to roll back child labour laws, which seems a few other of the GOP reigned, god fearing states also like.

Where several parts of Iowas new law are violating federal child labour laws (e.g. Hazardous Occupations Orders) and that's why those states are under federal investigation.

From Europe, I hope your gov keeps the promise of cracking down on migrant child labour in hazardous environment and other trends to return to pre-industrial times (e.g. caregivers who exploit the child labour) and offers those kids better possibilities. Those voters in Iowa, Nebraska and the likes are lost anyway.

It's John Carpenters cult classic sci-fi parody "Dark Star" from 1974. Pretty weird overall but at times hillarious. Not sure if I'd recommend to watch it. If you'll be able to find it that is.

Für mich: Logbuch Netzpolitk, Lage der Nation, UKW, Raumzeit, Forschergeist, Hoaxilla. DAS PODCAST UFO, Stay Forever und "WTFM 100, Null" für's Entertainment. Aber Jung & Naiv ist auch super. Tilo auf der Bundespressekonferenz ist immer ein highlight.
