How very Silicon Valley / Starmer's Labour; the conduit from Big Tech who passed messages to Reeves to sabotage regulation and boost AI growth zones had a previous job where he "ran a corporate intelligence firm founded by former British spies".

@onepict I have a sense of the dynamics behind it and it is incredibly depressing

via Drop site:
Gaza NGO coordinator warns of “environmental and biological apocalypse” as water and sanitation systems collapse: A report shared with Drop Site by Eyad Amawi, an NGO coordinator in Gaza, warns the enclave is facing catastrophic infrastructure collapse, with 97% of groundwater undrinkable and daily water access fallen to three to five liters per person—dropping to one to three liters in the north—far below emergency thresholds. Amawi says the conditions fueled nearly half a million cases of acute diarrhea, many among children. All sewage systems are offline, with 130,000 cubic meters of untreated waste discharged into the sea daily, while around 500,000 tons of garbage blanketing displacement sites are 80% infested with rats carrying dozens of diseases; 71% of desalination plants and 80% of water infrastructure have been destroyed. Amawi characterized the crisis as a “calculated ecological disaster” that risks killing more people through disease and starvation than through bombardment and called for immediate international intervention.
Walking the other day I noticed a small shed by the side of the road, like those little library boxes that are popping up. Opened it up, had a look and it was for cakes!

hey so. looking for a job (NZ or fully remote willing to hire a kiwi) in SRE, security, or linux/Unix system administration. 15 years experience administering Linux and Unix boxes, intermediate level of experience working with docker compose and containerisation and container security. No prior job experience unfortunately, all those 15 years were mostly personal projects and small-scale stuff for friends. I'm also 26, so I started when I was 11, explaining the no jobs so far. Currently running an entire multi-machine personal cloud infrastructure with a demonstration of all the services I have running at https://status.highenergymagic.net. Three machines, 72 docker containers. One running most of them, one running Mastodon+glitchsocial, one running the uptime monitor. encrypted root on ZFS, alpine linux, gVisor on supported containers, plan to move to Kata. Entirely willing to accept entry-level job placements, no expectation of being paid a lot or anything, just want to be doing something and move the needle a little on my current "being broke" status. Currently using gVisor, docker compose, and kata containers in production, experience with Linux, docker, Net/Open/FreeBSD, Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos, Mikrotik and UniFi, configuring and administering Asterisk, plus extensive experience with IBM AIX and Sun Solaris. #fedihired #infosec #cybersecurity #linux #unix #docker #sre #DevOps #GetFediHired

The official account of the Global Sumoud Flotilla announced the death of Teresa Regina de Ávila e Silva, the mother of Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila, who is currently held in Israeli detention.
Her passing comes at a painful time as her son remains abducted, unable to be by her side or bid her farewell.
Jeg har guidet 3 sanketurer på 7 dager. Det er heftig for en introvert som kvier seg for å ta ordet, og det summer ofte i hodet etterpå. Men det skjer heldigvis noe magisk mellom folk og planter. Jeg blir så glad av å formidle om nyttevekstene våre, og jeg kjenner at å snakke om dette skaper kontakt med andre mennesker. De tar seg gjerne til hjertet når de sier takk for turen. ❤️ Jeg er veldig takknemlig for å få ha en sånn rolle i lokalsamfunnet.
@leneeeide It turns out plants are useful for all kinds of things; including overcoming shyness! 😊

…My local Green candidate has done nothing to earn my vote but I’ll vote for them tomorrow anyway.
I’ll do this because everyone to the right of them are either fascists or fascist enablers, and that is much much worse than any of the failings the Green Party may have

Language can be really messy and confusing sometimes.
Today I learned that in English, a castrated, male lamb is called a wether, while a normal male lamb is called a ram. But in Danish it is opposite: Here a væder (pronounced like wether) is the normal, male lamb, while the castrated one is called a bede (pronounced “be-the”).
@randahl There's an area in southern New Zealand where the first European explorer to do any serious mapping gave a bunch of small rivers animal names based on his local dialect (the far north of England - so far north it was almost in Scotland). There's a Wether Burn, a Kye Burn and a Gimmer Burn and a few less obscure names. ("Burn" in this context being a small river).
Just to make life even more confusing, someone surveyed a town on the Wether Burn and called it "Wedderburn". The entire area is sometimes known as "Thomson's Barnyard".
