Shinjiro Koizumi has asked Seoul to lift restrictions on imports of fishery products from eight Japan prefectures, and met separately with Chinese and South Korean counterparts in the first such meeting in seven years. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/12/japan/politics/japan-farm-minister-sk-foreign-minister-meet/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #shinjirokoizumi #southkoreajapanrelations #fish #fukushimano1

In 1675, fishermen from what is now called Shingu, Wakayama Prefecture, taught a village in present-day Miyagi Prefecture a revolutionary technique to catch bonito. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/04/japan/japan-kesennuma-bonito-fishing/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #miyagi#kesennuma #fish #fishing #wakayama

People think I'm joking when I say Lithuanian supermarkets have a herrings section. Well, there's literally a full shelf of different herring varieties in this small inner-city Iki convenience store.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #442: Archerfish.

Archerfish are small tropical fish that spit jets of water to knock insects as high as 10 feet above the surface so they can eat them. Their mouths are described by biologists as being like tiny guns, and their aim is highly accurate, their brains taking refraction through the water surface into account when targeting prey, and is considered an example of animals using tools. Juveniles hunt in groups to learn how to aim better, but adults almost never miss the first shot. They're also a popular, though challenging, aquarium pet.

The photograph shows a DVD-rw with a yellow and red 🍒 color scheme. The DVD is labeled with handwritten text. At top, it reads "Linux MATE 2K17," and at the bottom, it says "GHOST BSD FREEBSD." The DVD is a rewritable type, as indicated by the "DVD-RW" marking. The disc also has "1.4X" and "4.7" printed on it, likely referring to the disc's speed and capacity. The DVD is encased in a clear plastic holder, and the background has a red hue, possibly from lighting. The DVD shows signs of wear, with visible scratches and scuffs.

I've encountered an annoying problem

A critical shared Library that's used by FFMpeg and of course also used by MPlayer was not in the installation. It was an odd because even a remove reinstall of FFMpeg didn't fix the problem.

Since I'm in no mood to install a development environment from the command line to compile FFMpeg from scratch I just wiped the KDE distro and started all over.

While I was busy with the new installation so I was on the live ISO FFMPEG worked just fine and the library was there working perfectly.

You can already guess what happened when I booted into the new installation.

FFMPEG was installed by default by the distribution, since VLC is installed by default, but the shared library was missing!

¡WTF!

Then I encountered even more bugs, privilege escalation errors!

These bugs and errors have nothing to do with KDE!

They have to do with problems with the distribution from the perspective of my maintainer. It is my task to see if I can reproduce the problems after I fix them by hand if that does not take too much time and effort.

The photograph captured in total darkness shows a multi-monitor setup with two screens. The top screen displays a blue background with a landscape image of a sky with clouds and a body of water, along with a window showing a list of items. The middle screen shows a blue background with a text-based interface, possibly a command prompt or terminal, with white text on a black background. The bottom screen features a dark background with abstract light streaks in purple and white, and a blue bar at the bottom. The screens are arranged in a staggered formation, with the top screen tilted to the right, the middle screen tilted to the left, and the bottom screen positioned horizontally. The overall color scheme is dominated by blues and purples, with white text and light streaks providing contrast.

Sometimes micro migration failures bring blessings, I learned how to use

xfce4-screenshooter -S -d 2 --window -s "$HOME/Pictures/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)_Screenshot2.png"

from the commandline because it started to fail to add the date to the screencaps after the migration on my main MX linux install which is XFce4 based

This sequence also opens a thunar window sorted to date with the screencap. Of course the sorting is previously configured in thunar

The image shows a terminal window with a black background and text in various colors, primarily green, white, and red. The user is logged in as "metalloid" on a system named "drawpedie." The user is in the directory "/gate/audio/raw/flac/αBeats∞." The terminal output includes several commands and their results: 1. The first command is "last | lolcat," which attempts to display the last logged-in users using the "lolcat" filter for a humorous output. The response indicates that the file "/var/log/wtmp" does not exist. 2. The second command is "sudo touch /var/log/wtmp," which creates the "/var/log/wtmp" file with root permissions. The user is prompted to enter the password for "metalloid." 3. The third command is "last | lolcat," which is executed again after the file has been created. This time, the output shows that "wtmp" begins on "Sat Apr 19 10:22:19 2025." The terminal also shows the user's prompt, which includes the username, hostname, and current working directory. The overall appearance is typical of a Linux or Unix-based system terminal. 🌱 Energy used: 0.249 Wh
