1 in 5 multipack deals are on meat and dairy, only 1 in 20 on fruit and vegetables. And of course the whole point of them is to get people to buy more than they otherwise would, often adding to food waste.

I sometimes imagine what a board meeting in a big business would be like if it was really trying to act responsibly. "The question is, what is our strategy for reducing sales of harmful products - and indeed if possible reducing sales overall. so that we help limit wasteful consumption?" Ridiculous, eh? - and there you have the fundamental problem in a nutshell.

[SOLVED] Internet strangely stops working after one day of installation.


This is an Acer Aspire one laptop, with a 32 bit CPU and Debian 12.7. Whenever I install Linux on it, the Internet works for about one day. And when I boot it up the next day, it just stops working. This is the case for WiFi, Ethernet and USB tethering via Android.

After running networkctl it gave me this:

I can ping 8.8.8.8 in this state, but not gnu.org. I can't open websites in Firefox either.

Then I ran "sudo systemctl start systemd-networkd". The networkctl output changed but everything worked exactly as the above two images. Couldn't open websites still.

Yesterday everything was working perfectly

Edit: Thanks to @nanook@friendica.eskimo.com and @MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml I finally have internet access on my 12-year old e-waste!

If worse comes to worse, you can always just remove the symlink of /etc/resolv.conf which presently will point to something in /run/systemd, and replace it with a static file with known good name servers in it. You'll lose having a DNS cache but at least your machine will function.

Today's my birthday and it is also Saturday, so I thought doing a "reading day". Can I do it? Not thinking in things that need to be done and just read?
I've chosen three books, let's see if I can go through all of them.
I woke up around 6h30 (naturally, my brain is doing this now), I have my armchair, my blanket, the lamp on (still too dark outside), my hot tea (Pumpkin Chai), and my books.
It's almost 7 am now and I'll start with The Invisible Host, which you can see from the cover I'm most curious about.
See you in some hours!

A VHS tape cover for the movie "La Cible". The cover features a man's face in close-up, with a large, white circle in the bottom right corner that says "Version Française" in blue text. Below the circle is text that reads "Ne chassez pas ce que vous ne pouvez tuer." The text above the man's face reads "Un film de John Woo" and "La Cible (V.f. de "Hard Target")" in bold, white text. The cover also has a small "R" rating in the bottom left corner, and a "MCA Universal Pictures Canada" logo in the bottom right corner.

A black VHS tape with the title "La Cible" in French. The tape has the logo of MCA Universal Home Video. The tape also has an age rating sticker and a warning label. The tape has text that says "La plus grande chaine de clubs video au Quebec" which translates to "The largest chain of video clubs in Quebec". The tape's label is black and white, with some red text. The tape is worn and has some scratches on the surface.

@Muse - Our local professional company, Shakespeare Santa Cruz, used to be filled with refugees from the Royal Shakespeare Company; they were never mic-ed, they knew how to project their voices, even if that involved a lot of spitting. Younger actors seem to have less skill with voice articulation and projection - and thus need to be mic-ed and backed by a good sound reinforcement system run by someone who knows their stuff.

That lack of skill of articulation and projection seems to have hit TV and movies hard, and badly. We are surprised at how many new TV shows we have to pause and go back to try to understand what was said, even to the point of turning on captioning. It's rather difficult to forgive TV/film people for poor capture of comprehensible voice - it's rather a sign that the director's attention is more on the scenery than on the actors or the story.

IOF now targeting Ali Mortada ("Hello my enemies" viral posts). He's a war correspondent for Lebanon. IOF killed 2 of his colleagues whilst they were sleeping. True IOF's terrorists' tactics.

Listen to Ali's response:
