Gedanken des Balkonisten – über Spionitis und wie man russische Spione erkennt de.rt.com/meinung/219074-gedan… Im zweiten Teil sinniert der Balkonist über eine merkwürdige Audioinszenierung des westdeutschen Rundfunks, wonach Russland bedrohliche Spionage betreibe. Der WDR klärte auf, woran man potenzielle Spione in der Nachbarschaft erkennen könne. #news #press

Agnieszka’s version of Kafka’s life isn’t simply a retelling of the subject’s life, a recap of his greatest hits, with the excision of anything morally complex about his life to make the subject more likeable. —Leo Barraclough, Variety, 14 May 2024


I think that explains most of it. LOL

By the way, great photo. :)




Good morning. 🌳☁️🌨️

15 September 2024

I'm up before five this morning because I heard Ben bark and decided not to ignore it. just in case. Apparently, there was some critter in the backyard that required their attention. By their, I mean Ben and Charlie. It was probably a racoon. I sat outside and watched them for a few minutes. I intended to lay back in my recliner and go back to sleep, but after moving around I was a little more awake than when initially woke, even if I still have some foggy head going on. But there is hot coffee which I make almost automatically when I get up. Also, the recliner is still there and isn't off the table. The dogs are quiet. I think they are both sleeping again.

They are clever critters. Once a hummingbird feeder went missing, I’d given up looking for it until one day I happened to look up in an oak tree in the backyard and there it was.




7 non-SSD devices you may be able to use in your M.2 slot


A silver coloured NVidia GTX 1080 graphics card being held in a hand. In the background is the blurred view of a town with some green trees and a hill in the background.
The M.2 connector, formerly known as Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) was created to replace the older mSATA and mPCIe connectors, which it successfully did. You might be familiar with the M.2 slots on your PC’s motherboard that are commonly used to connect M.2 SSDs (NVMe or SATA), but they’re not the only devices compatible with M.2.

The M.2 connector was meant to be flexible to accommodate a wide variety of devices. So, if you have a spare M.2 slot gathering dust on your motherboard, you might want to know the types of devices you could install on it.

What I really wonder about, is I’m pretty sure my M.2 connector said something about it being in combination with some existing SATA ports i.e. if I use the M.2 connector I lose 2 or 4 of my SATA ports. Just something to keep in mind if you have already maxed out the use of your SATA ports.

Following on from my interaction earlier today, I am asking #Linux bros to be careful of developing a superiority complex.

It is great you are using linux. I am happy for you. But this doesn't make you better than everyone else. Engaging in toxic behavour isn't helpful to anyone, and it really just makes you look like an asshole.

Nah man, not screaming about "Arch BTW" on every corner will result in normies not knowing I use Arch BTW, so my constant urge to seek validation from uncaring void of internet will be unsatisfied. I can't let this happen!

State bans on commercial food waste have been largely ineffective, study finds


Much of the food supply in the U.S. goes uneaten, which contributes to climate change. Some states have tried to cut food waste in landfills, but their efforts have fallen short, researchers found.

Le meilleur est quand même l'#IgNobel de médecine : un placebo qui pique a davantage d'efficacité qu'un placebo qui ne pique pas. (Non, ce n'est pas le Pr Raoult qui a découvert cela.)

dans le même genre qu'un médoc doit avoir un goût dégueulasse sinon c'est pas vraiment un médoc, plus une friandise ^^



Voilà une célébrité mondiale dont on se serait bien passé.

En même temps, dans un gouvernement où le ministre de l'intérieur propose un appartement contre une fellation, ou des stars de #TVBollore sont accusés et condamnés pour viol mais continuent leurs émissions.
Un pays où des ministres accusés de viol continuaient dans leurs fonction, ça vaut bien un affichage mondial.
