Trump has been asking #Ukraine for mineral rights in exchange for aid, but extracting those minerals will require new infrastructure, new roads, more processing technology, investment, technical expertise, and, above all, an end to Russia’s invasion.

[ It's decided, OPNsense is currently installing over pfSense! ]

So my Intel N100 quad core with 16Gb ram and a 256GB NVME drive and 4 x 2.5Gb ethernet ports has arrived with pfSense preinstalled but I'm thinking I'd be better off with #OPNsense installed instead?
Am I right as this is going to be my main router / firewall ? Feel free to comment and thank you.
No I'm not using #OpenWRT anymore sorry.

❝The Newsom podcasts gutted me. I’m not bothered that he’s talking to conservatives. I’m an organizer. I’m all about outreach. The idea that you should be willing to talk anybody about what you believe and why you believe it is embedded deep in my soul. But the whole reason you have conversations like that is so that you stand up for those who aren’t in the room.❞

"In a study appearing today in Nature Sustainability, the researchers report that #CO2 and other greenhouse gases can cause the upper atmosphere to shrink. An atmospheric layer of special interest is the thermosphere, where the ISS and most satellites orbit today. When the thermosphere contracts, the decreasing density reduces atmospheric drag - a force that pulls old satellites and other debris down to altitudes where they will encounter air molecules and burn up."

Welp, Breakthrough Energy, a climate change organization funded by Bill Gates, is downsizing its operations, including its US policy team and European unit. This shift reflects Gates’s strategic decision to focus on building clean energy companies rather than influencing policy, particularly in the current political climate.

Three Hollywood movies were released in 1995 with internet themes: the Keanu Reeves cyberpunk film Johnny Mnemonic (with an accompanying website), The Net with Sandra Bullock, and Hackers. As well as these 3 films, I look back at William Gibson's now extinct mid-90s website, "William Gibson’s Yardshow", and the equally lost to time Johnny Mnemonic net.hunt, an online scavenger hunt. cybercultural.com/p/cyberspace… #InternetHistory #90smovies

Keir Starmer’s government held a private meeting with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons company, Declassified has found.

The meeting occurred in December 2024 and was attended by three representatives from Elbit Systems and three officials from Yvette Cooper’s Home Office.

It took place months after Israeli forces used an Elbit drone to kill three British military veterans in Gaza who were protecting a humanitarian aid convoy.

History is a set of lies agreed upon.

The UK government took to revisionist tactics and wiped its advice for lawyers and barristers to use Apple encrypted services.

Putting victims of crime at a greater risk of harm so you don't contradict yourself isn't a good look 🤷‍♂️

In response to the State's demand for insecurity, Apple withdrew its encrypted services from the UK and appealed.

A secret tribunal now decides 🤫

This hearing MUST happen in public.

It starts with Apple... the UK government will chomp away encryption to a rotten core.

The largest camera ever built for astrophysics (3200-megapixels, >3000 kg) was installed this week at the Rubin Observatory at Cerro Pachón in Chile.

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera, the final major component of the Rubin Observatory's Simonyi Survey Telescope, was transported to the summit in May 2024.

After a few more months of testing, first light is expected around 4 Jul 2025.

The focal plane of the Vera C. Rubin telescope consists of 189 4kx4k charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors, arranged in a total of 21 3-by-3 square arrays. The system is cooled to about -100 °C to minimize noise.

The 3.5° field of view of the 64 cm wide array is 40 times the area of the full moon in the sky.

Your government is trying to kill you

Here RFK, jr talks about giving everyone measles

“It used to be that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection…The vaccine doesn't do that ... it used to be that very young kids were protected by breast milk."

Before the vaccine was invented in 1963 measles caused and estimated 6 million deaths

Case fatality rates within industrialized populations can be has high as 6%

In malnourished populations, rates can reach 30%

@MiriShuli @cindyweinstein

The notion that you get better life long immunity to diseases by catching them when young instead of via vaccination is scary…why do the likes of RFK Jr think there was a drive for vaccinations in the first place?

I have hearing loss due to my mum catching Rubella from a kid when she was pregnant with me…I later was vaccinated, but when it came to checking my immunity before I had IVF, I was suprised to hear I had none. GP said this is not unusual.

The captain of the Solong cargo ship arrested after a collision with a tanker in the North Sea is a Russian national, the ship's owner has confirmed.

I'm starting a #Mastodon thread on the new #Trump administration's actions and positions on #OpenAccess to research.

I posted frequently about the actions of his first administration. But I did it on #Twitter / #X, which I no longer use.

Also see this wiki page where I'm collecting my old Twitter posts on his first term and my new Mastodon posts on his second term.

"The #Trump administration has blocked access to multiple data repositories maintained by the NIH…The ban is effective April 4 and applies to institutions in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela…The numerous controlled-access data repositories (CADRs) that are affected by the rule hold data on a vast swath of subjects including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, mental health disorders, substance abuse and adolescent brain development."
