@lwuy9v5 Yes it is KCD. I'm doing a hardcore, all negative percs, no kill run, so i basically have to use ways to kill without it adding to the kills stat.
"Arab 48" (عرب48) is an Arabic-language news site, considered a platform for national Palestinian intellectuals in #Israel -- often those identified with the "Balad" political party, which supports a two-state solution and advocates a more Democratic and inclusive Israel and equal rights for its Palestinian citizens.
Dr. Hassan Jabareen, General Director of #Adalah, an independent human rights organization and legal center.
Our dialogue with Dr. Jabareen uncovers the unsettling realities faced by these citizens, highlighting the institutionalized persecution intensifying amidst the war. We explore the stark consequences of expressing solidarity with the besieged civilians in #Gaza, revealing how such simple acts of empathy are met with drastic retaliations. From legal actions and academic exclusions to job terminations, the repercussions are tangible and terrifying, as hundreds face arrests and countless others suffer for their benign acts of compassion.
I usually have one writing book in my reading rotation. They vary based on what I need & the state of my writing. My reaction to Pressfield's The War of Art is always the most telling.
As a freelance writer pre-grad school, it resonated deeply. I needed that "get over yourself & get to work" message.
But during other periods, I'm really turned off by it. That usually means I need to slow down, think through tough ideas, and/or seek out guidance.
Currently I'm re-reading Howard Becker's Writing for Social Scientists.
The "Terrorized by the Literature" chapter is a little too spot on. And the Risk chapter (Pamela Richards) hits a lot harder than it did my first year of grad school.
I am a PhD candidate in Tartu, searching for the imprints of dynamical friction in different environments, and how through this there might be a possibility to constrain the properties of dark matter and other dynamics in galaxies. Supervised by Rain Kipper.
I am very interested in galactic dynamics, computational astronomy and lately I am exploring superbubbles in NGC628 as seen by JWST-MIRI.
I have an #OpenWRT router. Let’s say I install Tailscale on it and want to create an interface that specifically routes to one of my exit nodes. Can I do that?
Everything I’ve seen about Tailscale on OpenWRT just provides direct router access to the tailnet (100.x.x.x), but I specifically want to route certain traffic to an exit node.
Can I do this? Do me proud, Fediverse! Hoping I can get good answers here without resorting to Reddit.
I’ve done something similar, though not with openwrt. There may be a decent way to do this on the firewall, but I ended up using the ACLs available from the Tailscale console.
I removed the default allow all rule. I made a group called admins that can access everything and then added a set of routes that everyone on the tail net could access.
I’ve only recently set this up, but initial testing seems to have this working as hoped.
I’m not sure this hits the nail for you or not, but I recently solved a question I had regarding tailscale and routing traffic through an exitnode that was using a VPN. Could be worth a peek.
In the shadow of Kim Jong Il's oppressive regime, of courage and musical defiance emerges. This dramatic escape saga from North Korea unfolds with the vivid pages of a scorebook, echoing the symphony of resistance composed by an unsung hero. In this symphony, notes and melodies became the weapons of choice, challenging the iron grip of the North Korean dictator.
The composer's name remains unknown to the world, a silent tribute to the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom and artistic expression. Their life, like the crescendo of a symphony, swelled with passion and purpose. With each note penned, they risked everything to resist the order of Kim Jong Il and inspire hope among their fellow citizens.
This captivating narrative reminds us of the power of art to transcend borders and break the chains of oppression. It's a testament to the indomitable human spirit, symbolizing the universal yearning for freedom and the lengths one is willing to go to protect it.
As we celebrate the indelible impact of this nameless composer, we are reminded that even in the darkest of times, the language of music can resonate as a beacon of hope, a testament to the unyielding power of the human spirit, and a symbol of resilience against tyranny.
I am thinking about autism this morning. Every self-assessment I’ve taken since I was a teenager scores ‘yep, that’s you’. (I have taken a LOT of self-assessments. Every few years I’ll go through a whole bunch, just to confirm.) But I don’t have a formal diagnosis. And even though I would never require a formal diagnosis from anyone else, I have still, for decades, struggled to know whether I’m ‘allowed’ to understand myself in this way or speak about myself as #autistic.
"The more I seek validation, the worse my life becomes, and the more I allow myself to be myself, the better I feel." I could say the same thing, honestly, about my own journey in life.
@cynaq@actuallyautistic Yes! This perspective is so helpful and relatable. This morning I went back and re-took the RAADS-R and the CAT-Q and the results are the same as they have always been - high. And there is my own knowing of myself that has also been the same since I was a teenager! So maybe it is time to claim/name this more openly, despite not having (or seeking) a formal diagnosis. <3
I know I'm late to the party, they always did say I was a late bloomer and all, but Good Omens is really really good. I always did like Neil Gaiman's writing but it's another thing to binge watch season 1 of #GoodOmens. I mean the binge part was easy as I could not stop and now, here, after the finale I really have to see how a season 2 can be a thing right?
Mainly tip on the hat good sir, fantastic story. @neilhimself 👏👏🎩
(I know now I'm the one putting #hashtags in line, I'm a monster)
@neilhimself@s1m0n4@JustBrogrammer Hey Neil, any thoughts about Amazon Prime Video doing a bait-and-switch, by announcing that even customers that have already paid annually for their service will find what they watch - such as Good Omens and Good Omens 2 - interspersed with ads?!
Did Amazon give you a heads up on their plans to insert advertising in the middle of your stories as soon as early next year?!
Does anyone need a #Bluesky code? I have a few & would love to give them to critical academics or #vegan, #environmentalist, pro-#Palestine comrades… maybe you know people who fit that bill and are still stuck on Xitter?
(I love Mastodon but I think BSky is attracting more former chronic #Xitter users to switch over, and really, whatever works at this point)
