π₯ Ein kurzes Update zu meinem RASPI-Backup-Video(*). Ich habe das ganze Setup noch einmal etwas handlicher gemacht. π
Denn ein Problem hatte ich bei meiner Handy-LΓΆsung nicht bedacht: Was ist, wenn man wΓ€hrend des Backups angerufen wird?π€ͺ
Hier nun die LΓΆsung fΓΌr ein mobiles Kamera-Backup, die einfach, unabhΓ€ngig, sicher und schnell funktioniert und zudem sehr preiswert ist. π₯³

The image features a close-up of a bird with a predominantly brown plumage, showcasing a mix of dark and lighter brown feathers with subtle speckles. The bird's head is turned slightly upwards, revealing a sharp, pointed beak and a dark eye. The background is softly blurred, with hints of green and yellow, suggesting a natural setting, possibly near water. The bird's feathers appear wet, indicating it may have been bathing or drinking. The lighting is soft, highlighting the bird's features and creating a serene atmosphere. The image is signed in the bottom right corner with the text "Marius van der Meer Photography."

Rachel Roddyβs recipe for folded flatbreads with tomato, onion and cheese (scacce).
A bit like baked wraps, these Sicilian-inspired tomato, onion and cheese parcels are delicious served warm or at room temperature, and are rather handy for picnics, too

Did some reflecting on the zine-ing, and seems that they perhaps work best not as a "let me talk to you about X" but as a "how to talk to people about X" (which is admittedly always been my goal) - so we have new covers to reflect that.

What Are The Stages Of Grieving The Death Of Democracy?

Survivors recount horror after Israeli attack on UNRWA school
βWe were sleeping, and at around 2:15am [23:15 GMT], we heard the sound of something devastating explode in the hall.β
βPeople were shouting: βThere is no god but Allah! Help us, someone!β But then we no longer heard any sound from them.β
Salmi fled the wreckage with her children, but many others did not survive. βMost of them died. Entire families were lost,β she said.
Isn't an attack on UNRWA an attack on the United Nations?
Therefore, on all of us?
Eh?!?
in reply to George Takei π³οΈβπππ½ • • •This nonsense about conditioning the right to vote to some test about (civic) education has been popular among (some) "progressive" Italians for years now. And it's a shame, since the universal right to vote was the very first offspring of the defeat of fascism in 1945.

in reply to George Takei π³οΈβπππ½ • • •βPassing a Test to Vote" is regressive, and rife for abuse to add hurdles to voting. It's no different from a poll tax.
Instead, we should require all CANDIDATES for any office at any level to pass the same citizenship test that all naturalized citizens must pass.
The issue isn't the voters. It's the candidates!

in reply to George Takei π³οΈβπππ½ • • •Although it's amusing as a joke, it's important to remember that historically such tests were used to prevent Black people from voting - the content of the tests themselves and actual civics knowledge were meaningless; the tests were designed so the person who proctored them could disqualify anyone they pleased, which they used to disqualify anyone they personally felt was the "wrong sort" of people or who might vote the wrong way.
Even if a modern test were automatically graded, it's easy to see how it could be used in a similar manner - states would set their own tests and red states would just require flatly false answers to things they know only their supporters would answer the right way, eg. requiring people to falsely assert that the 2020 election was stolen (or, if they wanted to be more subtle, that there was "reasonable evidence" or something of that nature.)

in reply to George Takei π³οΈβπππ½ • • •in a Democracy voting is an unalienable RIGHT of any and all citizens. The only way to take it from somebody is by individual decision by a judge on grounds of action against the state with the potential to dismantle its integrity.
Based on this the US is and never was a democracy as there were always more people alienated from their rights as citizens than where necessary to change the government. Slaves, women, criminals, poor - there were always too many groups not allowed to vote. And there still are too many hurdles to get access to the voting booth.
