Carnivorous Squirrels Documented in California
A ground squirrel with cheeks stuffed with nuts, seeds or grains, is a common sight. But a new study provides the first evidence that California ground squirrels also hunt, kill and eat voles. The study, led by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and the University of California, Davis, is the first to chronicle widespread carnivorous behavior among squirrels.

Right! But, if you zoom out, it's not exactly too wild. Ground squirrels have voles beat in size and they have habitat overlap with both living underground. Additionally, dietary shifts give animals the flexibly to respond to changes in the environment plus foraging risks and opportunities. It's been known since the early 2000's that squirrels can supplement some of their diet with insects or bird eggs/baby birds. Knowing this, it starts to make a lot more sense ground squirrels would hunt voles, as the environment is rapidly changing, they're known to already hunt a bit, and voles could be their annoying neighbor.

BlueSky and NodeBB testing

Here is a new topic for testing

@wake.st@bsky.brid.gy @mailtodevnull.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @jdp23.thenexus.today@bsky.brid.gy

Perhaps it's because the old topic was already existing? Fingers crossed it makes it over the bridge.

A like from bsky made it over here.

I still prefer OsmAnd, far more feature, and at least you can ask it to avoid a specific road. Organic Map cannot.

I use both. Osmand+ allows me to contribute way more efficiently with PDIs and GPS traces as well as editing existing features, but when I want to navigate, I prefer Organic Maps. I also like more their rendering since it's faster across all my devices. They are both useful apps. My main gripe is with the data in my area, as everyone uses Google or Apple's data we struggle with contributors.

[Help] with mounting a FAT32 formatted drive in Ubuntu

I've been having trouble with getting a 2TB Fat32 formatted USB drive to work nicely in Ubuntu 24.04.1

I'm very new to Linux and have only gotten this far by reading old message boards and tutorials, but here's where I'm at with it.

I created a .rules file named 90-usb-disks.rules

It lives in /etc/udev/rules.d

Inside it says:

/# UDEV Rules to change the permission of USB disks
#

KERNEL=="sd*[0-9]", ATTR{removable}=="1", ENV{ID_BUS}=="usb", MODE="0022"


Now this works... for my user. I have ownership of any USB storage device as soon as I plug it in. I can rwx, but my group can only read.

Trying to change access from the Nautilus permissions pane just starts an endless progress bar that never passes "preparing."

There must be a way to edit this to allow the group with the same name as my user to hall rwx access as well. Please help; thanks in advance :)

There are no "good guys" in geopolitics, but there are guys who builds roads and there are guys who bomb them.

Sure, let’s just begin with that, because it’s a textbook case of the US 1) being the bad guy and 2) pushing propaganda that China is the bad guy. And you bought into the propaganda, as nearly all Westerners have, including me for years.

I agree with both of you.

China's human rights abuses should never go unmentioned.

That said, they've also been investing in developing countries more than Western nations have. While Westerners focus on cannibalizing their own populations, China sees the value in spreading out and building up where there's more room for growth.

Americans have nobody but themselves to blame for their increasing irrelevance on the world stage.

The US only sustained the "Good Guy" image to westerners. Bombing and pillaging is all the US has done in it's entire existence. China's Belt and Road Initiative lifted over 40 million people out of poverty, with over a trillion dollars invested into the well-being of their fellow humans. Would the US ever do something like that?

What does the authoritarian China have to do with socialism? They are a lot closer to state capitalism than anything imo. This just reads as propaganda. I think the world respects China about as much as people repect the States, that is to say not at all, only fear and or distrust at best.

What Linux software is good for managing a household budget?
Up to now I enter receipts by hand into a spreadsheet and cross-reference everything to my bank statements. Is there a Linux program that'll let me download a bank statement and then intelligently categorize different entries on my bank statement? Or allow me to manually categorize entries? No spyware or intrusive software.

I use Buckets . It's a small 1 person freeware, dev asks for a 30 dollar one time donation but it isn't mandatory. It's based on the software and idealogy of ynab which enshittified several years ago. The learning resources of ynab should be mostly compatible but I haven't looked at it in a while.

It interopts with simplefin, an open source tool that reads your bank transactions and gives read only access to buckets. It costs 10dollars per year to use their servers. It creates some annoying quirks that is mostly the fault of my bank but its passable. The app can also take csv files if you would prefer (which most banks allow you to export).

Harmful gas billowing from Texas and New Mexico comes mostly from smaller leaks, researchers say

Summary

In the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico, researchers found that small leaks collectively account for 72% of methane emissions from U.S. oil and gas fields, challenging the focus on “super emitters.”

Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, traps 80 times more heat than CO2 and contributes significantly to climate change.

Efforts to curb emissions include advanced satellite monitoring like MethaneSAT, new EPA rules requiring leak detection, and phasing out flaring.

With over 130,000 well sites, addressing both small and large emitters is essential for meaningful climate impact.
