The other person said highway bandits and the picture is a dashed line across the desert, not the ocean. I Doubt Somali pirates would make it to Saudi Arabia or Oman to there then pivot from ocean piracy to bush bandits.
Somalia is 1000km away from this
Are they independent? There are large coalitions, across various wars. And trade of all key resources and tech makes it all very connected to eachother and easy to get dragged in for many countries. Actively trying to stay a neutral country becomes harder and harder, we're for sure heading in that direction.
Your money is homesick for Europe. Do it like over 45 million Europeans. Pay European.
There are times the military must refuse government orders. That time is now for USA.
It will already last decades, trust with nearly all countries in the ~~region~~ world is ruined.
But yes, get out ASAP, for damage control...

Probably one of my best thrift store finds ever many years ago. Original pressing of Belgian punk band The Kids 1978 debut album! Unfortunately without original sleeve, beggars can't be choosers for 1 € :) Sounds awesome tho, plays about VG/VG+
Local ones with eyes and brains do hit my very dirty window sometimes. Natural selection I suppose.
Thanks to thrift store pearl hunting I recently discovered Patti Smith Group and now own a copy of their excellent first record Radio Ethiopia for just 1,5 €!
Some telecom companies are starting to embed AI subscriptions in regular internet+TV service contracts
Between endless 1-2 € piles of Beethoven or James Last, there are hidden treasures to be found.
This time: Brother Jack McDuff - Gin And Orange in superb condition.
Skied a bit at Muggenbrunn a few weeks ago, a very small ski area in the black forest.
I hate windows. But I have to use it for work. The worse it gets, the more I want to break free completely, minimise my exposure to this OS. The only part I truly cannot do without I think is Microsoft Excel.
Replacing with Excel 2016 or only using webversion or so is insufficient for sure, for work it needs the SharePoint/auto save etc etc stuff. Also power query getting data from SharePoint online.
Replacing with Libreoffice or so seems completely impossible, there's too many 'special' files in organisation, with .xlsm macro mess, I don't control all that, I can't fully steer away from such mess but need full functional access.
Other than Excel, I think I could do all my work from a Linux desktop.
Is it possible by now, reliably working in an up to date excel from a base system Linux? What is the way? Have people done this? How? Do I need to run a virtual machine with win11? How do I do that? Does anyone here have experience with it? I have high degree of control over work devices and boss couldn't care less, as long as I can get my work done.
Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (where would it belong better?)
I caved to black Friday promotions and ordered myself a fan less MSI Cubi N ADL S with N100, 4GB ram, 128 GB m.2 SSD and a Rii F8 remote.
To run as "smart TV", mainly jellyfin, dvb-t2 antenna, YouTube, local public channel streaming from their websites.
Which is the hottest HTPC distro for this right now in your opinion?
It needs to be easy to use for non-techie and super stable and reliable, rather than fancy or brand new and hype.
To replace my current "attach the steamdeck to TV when needed" setup (so I can play on it while something is being watched). And this was experienced as not easy enough for non-techies?
Picked up this record from Tangerine Dream at a local old stuff shop. Shabby looking 50 year old sleeve but record itself is very strong near mint. WOW was this album meant for vinyl. Incredibly excellent experience.
Glaubt Ihr es ist Zeit zu ernten, schon zu Spät, oder wird es vielleicht noch besser?
Gorilla Cookie Auto, ich habe nicht wirklich viel gemacht, nur in nen topf auf dem Balkon mit automatische tropfenbewässerung und 2 Monate ziemlich ignoriert. Pflanz hat letzte Woche viele blätter verloren, werden Gelb und danach runtergefallen.

After many years of absence, I am trying to get back into soulseek using Nicotine+.
Installed it through Flatpak on a debian based system. Application seems to work fine... except: clicking the "Add" button on the Shares pane of the settings menu does nothing. No dialog opens, no error message is shown, just nothing. Is it a known bug with an easy fix?
EDIT / SOLVED: appearantly when one logs into a remote desktop session, the file picker sometimes crashes. For anyone encountering same issues: login directly instead of remotely, or use suggested solve: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4
The water in the pipes requires a lot of energy. Extraction, cleaning, pumping it around. It will get more expensive with higher energy prices.
Producing food requires a lot of energy. Tractors, harvesters, packaging plants, transport to supermarket. Energy prices will make your food more expensive.
Houses need heating, cooling, repairs.
The cost of almost everything almost everywhere will rise a lot very quickly in the coming months if this mess keeps getting messier (and it is). Fossil fuels and the price of it are deeply embedded in every aspect of life.
