  • I started using Gentoo many years ago, and took a break from it for a few years. It has some overhead to maintain. Two years or so ago I went back to it and, no joke, it is so much simpler now. Dist-kernel, dracut, refind just sorted everything. I felt like I was cheating. I don’t have to write my own custom initramfs for my custom needs? Stuff just solves it? And compilation errors and conflicts even when running a bunch of keyworded packages: gone! What is going on?





  • Some NATO contries have agreements with the US on how to handle service members, not sure if all of ICE/DHS falls under that, but it is there to keep US personel at military bases safe from their own actions and the target contries laws. The US pinky promises in the agreements to prosecute the persons under US law if the country just hands them over with no fuss. Under current conditions in the US, I take that to mean that US service members can commit any crime in any nation with such an agreement without any consquences.

    On top of that there is the ‘invade the Hague act’, but that is just for war crimes.

    And I don’t think any EU country have the death penalty (even “life” generally means like <20 years).

    So important to document all these tactics and counter-tactics. It will also come to parts of Europe soon. Sweden has under the current government implemented prisons for children and forced government employees to report suspected undocumented children and families. And the far-right has not even officially been included in the government yet. We probably have to prepare here too.



  • This is very alien to me, also not from the US. What is party affiliation? And voter registration?

    Like in my country, there is a “vote-registry”, which is basically only relevant if you move out or back into the country. It is a “should the government include you to be able to cast a vote” , which is associated with your ordinary government registrerd address. All party “affiliations”, or they are memberships here, are handled by the parties themselves.

    Is party affiliation like memberships but centrally registred with the government? Is voting registration not something which is default, but something you have to… Apply for? How is the party affiliation and voter registration linked? You have to include who you intend to vote for?








  • I have serious issues with Cosmic. When I lock the screen and come back, then it has kills all terminals except the Cosmic terminal, firefox has become… broken, for the lack of a better word, where all new pages just give gray background color and no menu items work, and the sound is reset to the laptop speaker instead of hdmi, not the disolay though, only sound. Then fullscreening terminals also makes them crash, as in they seem to refuse to take input.

    It is not really usable. But since nvidia on x11 in popos started resetting the display config when the screen went to sleep, it beats the alternative.
