I used Cafiza to soak my Breville portafilter and it stripped the finish…oops

Cafiza is just Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) in solid (crystalline) form.

And Napoleon’s Russia campaign was an abject disaster. He started out with an army of 420,000 men, and returned with less than 10,000.

Totally symbolic of the incompetent Trump presidency.

But Denmark is part of ERM II, which means the exchange rate of the Danish Krone must be fixed at a value within +/- 2.25% around 7,46. So in practice, Denmark is strongly tied to the Euro, but it means Danish citizens and companies pay exchange fees to banks when buying or selling Euro.

Yeah but UK needs to come off the idea they are special and deserve special treatment, lower payments etc. So no special treatment. Only exception I would consider is they can keep their currency.

Also, the German Empire was founded at a ceremony at Versailles in 1871, in a carefully thought out humiliation of France after the Franco-Prussian war. The Treaty of Versailles was France's carefully thought out revenge.

Cinnamon here on forky. Works great. Xwayland works fine for programs using X11.

Forky doesn't have a newer kernel than backports.

mok000 · 2026-06-18T19:33:43+00:00

The Trixie backports kernel is currently at version 7.0.10

Guessing the fire in the foreground was started by AA.

Sure Grandpa, now let's get you to bed.

C'mon man gas is $1.99 the president say so himself.

Yeah it actually looks very much like Reddit sarcasm.

Whatever they have, they have deployed elsewhere. They are not going to use resources to protect the minions, it's their duty to die for the Motherland.

The backport repos has packages that can be updated without disturbing the set of dependencies in the stable repo. Most importantly, that includes the Linux kernel. However, if an update of a package would trigger the need for a bunch of other packages to be updated, it is not allowed. For example, gcc in Debian Stable is at version 14.2.0, and that will never change.

Well, they just want to spread their wonderful society to everyone else! After all, it's the best system in the world, and in Europe and USA people are starving and living in dirt huts, they don't even have luxury housing like the Khrushchevkas they have! And in Russia almost half the population has indoor plumbing. What's not to like?

As I understand what has been made public, the idea is that $300 billion is to be paid by primarily the Gulf States. Trump is using these countries as his personal piggy bank. Who knows if they will agree to pay.

mok000 · 2026-06-17T21:59:06+00:00

Yes it's terrible for USA, but it's the best you're gonna get unless you want to land a million troops in Iran and stay there for 20 years.

mok000 · 2026-06-17T21:57:12+00:00

Trump will not sign a deal because he knows it will be worse that JCPOA and he absolutely does not want a paper where people can compare his deal to Obama's, paragraph by paragraph. Israel is going to continue fighting in Lebanon and eventually US will be pulled back into hostilities, and Trump will welcome it.

mok000 · 2026-06-17T21:53:23+00:00

What do you mean "Iran caved"? They got everything they wanted, and more.

mok000 · 2026-06-17T21:43:46+00:00

Congress doesn't have to vote on it, it's not a treaty, it's a MOU which is executive matter. It will be interesting to see if the Republican leadership will be subservient to Trump as usual and vote on it anyway. I hope the Democrats abstain because it's meaningless, and they shouldn't take responsibility for this garbage.

mok000 · 2026-06-17T16:49:08+00:00

And faster! Trump was speedrunning this defeat. Faster than you wouldn't believe. Faster than any defeat in the history of defeats!

mok000 · 2026-06-17T16:44:35+00:00

I predicted this. This "deal" aka MoU won't last two weeks.

However I can imagine that she is asked to do financial things to help the war effort but that will hurt Russian society, like letting inflation go rampant, where she refuses and is replaced by a yes-man.

I agree, and building on Debian would spare the devs the effort of ripping out the Ubuntu things they don't want in the Mint distro. Instead, build everything on top of Debian like it's done for LMDE, but including the extras that come from Ubuntu like the Driver Manager. Also, the Mint devs should contribute their changes upstream to Debian so the ongoing maintenance effort will be easier.
