🟢 Thursday - ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

🌡HEAT WARNING.. very high temps the next 2 days across Israel + high humidity along the coast. Hydrate, don’t forget your children in the car, check your elderly, don’t hike.

▪️IS THE IDF DEPLOYING SUICIDE APC’s IN GAZA?  Arab reports the IDF is using suicide APC, driving into dangerous urban areas and taking down entire streets. These are old M113 armored personnel carriers no longer safe for soldier use.  (( Evaluation: Possible. ))

♦️STRONG EXPLOSIONS overnight in Gaza City, bunker/tunnel busting bombing.  Rumbles felt to Tel Aviv and Beit Shemesh.

▪️SOCIETAL CONFLICT.. leading rabbinical figure of the charedi world declared learning yeshiva students should NOT respond to an IDF conscription order - his hand written instructions published on the front page of a charedi paper.  IDF officials went to confirm the statement, and it was confirmed.  His associates try to soften: it should be noted that those who do not study are not referred to in the letter.  The charedi paper HaModia has taken a milder position.

.. Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, MK Edelstein: "Comprehensive legislation of the conscription law is the only way to prevent chaos in the security system." Edelstein published a schedule of the meetings in the committee.

▪️IDF REPORTS ON SHEJAIA BATTLES.. forces eliminated dozens of terrorists, destroyed combat compounds and booby trapped buildings.  Forces destroyed two underground routes in which eight tunnels were destroyed.  Weapons, laptops and communication equipment captured in the tunnels. Equipment for a long stay and electricity and gas infrastructure used by terrorists was located and destroyed.

▪️EGYPT GAZA BORDER PLANS.. The process of placing sensors along the border corridor may take several months.  Israel also plans to build an underground wall to combat smuggling tunnels from Egypt to the Gaza Strip, similar to the wall that prevented the penetration of Hamas attack tunnels into Israeli territory, in the next step to ensure the prevention of smuggling operations from Egypt.

🔸DEAL NEWS.. A senior US official told the Washington Post that an agreement was reached on the "framework" of the deal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages, and that the parties are now "discussing the details of how it will be implemented." Other senior officials warned that although a framework exists, a final agreement "is not Inevitable", and the work on the details is complex.

.. Israel and Hamas agreed that neither would govern Gaza in the 2nd phase.  TWho will be the police force in Gaza? 2,500 Palestinians, "affiliated with the Palestinian Authority", which Israel will approve by name, and will undergo training by the US and other countries.

▪️HIGH COURT TO HEAR PETITION AGAINST LAW ALLOWING DETENTION OF NUCHBA TERRORISTS.. Today the High Court will discuss a petition against the legislation, passed in three unanimous readings, and makes it easier to incarcerate the massacring baby killing raping terrorists of Oct. 7.    Among the petitioners: Doctors for Human Rights “the international community is called upon to exert pressure on Israel", and the left declares that Israel is making "manipulative use of reports of sexual violence" in the massacre.   Many are wondering how the High Court could grant the right to petition against a UNANIMOUS WAR LAW passed on the blood of over 1,200 children, women and men to consider the rights of the mass murderers.

▪️SIREN TESTS.. today, Zikim 13:05 and Tukuma 15:05.

♦️COUNTER-TERROR OPS.. overnight, Al-Bira.

Do you have a Framework laptop? I really like the concept but I also really like my Thinkpad. I want to downsize to a 14" ish so I'm considering either the FW 13 or a T14s.

i sadly don't have a framework, too expensive :(

would really want one though....

i do have a thinkpad, a E490 :3 and it's a good machine, got it for cheap and it runs linux well

[jazzhandsmcleg]

hello from my new laptop! I put it together myself (it's a framework 13!) and then put Ubuntu on it and I'm very pleased with these two things.

it also has an orange bezel around the screen. I like that too.

bedtime now. more fiddling later.

18 Months with a Framework 13

https://www.projectgus.com/2024/09/18-months-with-framework-laptop/

[kedamono-dreams]

it's kind of insane that it's gonna be a whole year and a half since I started using linux as my full time OS soon. in my opinion, it's a very good operating system and I only really have issues with certain (important and uninportant) windows engineering/creative applications, certain games, UI, and setting up a proper music production workflow. i also wish it were easier to synchronize configurations and stuff across computers but that is just a "multiple computers" issue.

it's been a really good experience 95% of the time, and i'd recommend it to most people who don't

(boring personal history stuff relating to computers below. at the end i explain some of the issues i've had and how i think i could fix them)

I fried my gamer laptop (obviously a windows machine) on December 6th, 2022 and had to fall back on what would become my favorite laptop, the thinkpad X220t. after juggling a few different unices/Linux distros, I settled on Linux Mint MATE. however, I couldn't do any actual work on that laptop other than like basic web browsing (which was all I needed at the time bc I was in community college)

after a while I managed to put together a pretty cheap desktop! i tried installing windows 10 on it and the installer refused because I was missing drivers for something. i could not figure out what it was, it might have been my CD drive, the hard drives I had, the nvme drive, the graphics card... so I went with what I was using on the thinkpad. Linux Mint installed without a hitch.

after I went to big boy college, I decided to upgrade my laptop since I needed a better portable computer. I was either going to get a 13" Macbook or a Framework, but I went with the Framework because I liked the ideals and the features, alongside some willful ignorance. ("It's a Mac, of course it's going to cost more! Those are super expensive computers!" I assumed, before dropping $500 more than I would have on the Mac I would have bought.) I also installed Linux Mint on the Framework.

Now, to expand on some of the issues I've had with Linux: Engineering applications, creative applications, very few Windows games, UX, and music production.

Engineering applications: I am going to college for ECpE, so I need to use certain programs for coursework/extracurriculars. The big ones are Fusion360, Altium, Solidworks, just most CAD/EDA stuff. (sidenote: Intel/Altera Quartus has binaries for and works on Linux, but it requires so much undocumented work that I had to piece together from compilation/simulation error logs that I consider it to be mostly broken from install.) It sucks that so many important applications are relevant to me/my future work and they don't have native Linux binaries, don't want to install under WINE, and/or require so much finagling that you'll go a little insane trying to get them to work. The FOSS alternatives are either much worse or considered fit for only amateur work. (AFAIK) KiCAD also lacks the collaborative aspects of Fusion360 or Altium, which makes it difficult to work with others who are on Windows and do use F360 or Altium. I could probably solve this through hours of tweaking, or I could just spin up a VM for F360, Altium, or Solidworks.

Creative applications: Everything I could say has already been said, but it's also not as bad as it could be. Krita, Pinta, Darktable all seem to be quite decent. Inkscape is okay. GIMP is functional. Blender is becoming more common in the creative industry, and is a definite rival to other 3D modeling software. I think that there's probably good excuses for Adobe to not release native binaries for Linux, but it would be really nice if they at least allowed or considered supporting/making it easier to run the programs under WINE.

Rare non-functioning Windows games: I rarely play video games anymore, and most video games I want to play work through Proton/WINE by default. (Thank you, Valve!) However, like one or two games I've tried do not work properly. I could see a big reason why: I have an Intel ARC card in my desktop. At this moment in time, the ARC cards are sort of iffy in the Linux sphere. I would recommend against other Linux users getting ARC cards right now, but the price is REALLY right and I would probably buy another one if not for certain political/humanitarian issues. I could probably fix this by getting a different graphics card, tweaking launch parameters, or simply waiting a year or two.

UI: I'm kinda blind. Not legally speaking, but I have a horrible prescription (>-10.00 in each eye before correction for astigmatism) and cannot see without my glasses at all. This is mostly a personal issue, possibly a Framework issue, but very high DPI screens give me trouble. Since fractional scaling does weird stuff, I have to raise the font size by a few points and increase the size of most of the UI elements in order to feel comfortable using computers long term. I also use darker themes on my desktop. This often breaks a lot of UI , making it hard/impossible to read button or labels. LibreOffice programs are pretty bad for this. It sucks.

Music production: This is possible using Linux! Sound on Linux is not that bad! However, attaining a "pro" production config is really hard. This can be solved by nutting up and reading the docs and watching 10 hours of youtube videos, or installing a distro with all the shit built-in and preconfigured. I've heard Ubuntu Studio is pretty okay.

In conclusion: Linux is pretty good. There's issues with it but the issues (IMO) are better than the Windows issues.

I have a working laptop that will stream my shows! Yay!

It was scheduled to arrive yesterday, when I was helping a friend move, and I figured if tracking marked it as arrived I would just get someone there to pop me back home to get it inside. However, FedEx left me one of those "sign this to say that we can leave your package and not be responsible for what happens to it" slips, and very little other option, so I signed it.

I didn't intentionally schedule delivery on a day off, and if it had just been dropped off during a work day without any fuss, I would have been a little worried but not enough to actually do anything about it. But I feel like the signed slip really begs the attention of porch pirates.

Today I was hoping tracking wouldn't tell me it had arrived until after work, but when I checked at eleven a. m. It was delivered and I was like "I need to go make sure it gets inside or I will not be able to focus."

I tried to do things by the book, by going to my manager and being like "I need to pop back home, I could clock out for lunch and take a Lyft over" but he was like "no it's okay, stay clocked in and let's see if Bill will drive you" because it was a slow day and we were all kind of looking for useful things to do anyway.

(side note, my coworkers are existentially confusing because they are so nice to me and I wish them all the best but they are so mean to each other and have such rancid incoherent political opinions. This same manager also mocked one of the other guys for telling his mom he loved her while they were on the phone this morning.)

Anyway I got the kit! There was one "default" component that I thought would be included, you know, by default, but it was not. However it is not essential to the operation of the laptop, so I set up without it. I ordered it separately because it will increase the lifespan of the charging port.

if you order a diy framework 13 laptop, they will describe the usb-c expansion cards as "default" but you still have to check the box to get them! Fortunately they are a usb-c to usb-c passthrough and can be bypassed in a pinch.

It's tricky to unplug the charger from inside the expansion card slot, though, so I'm hoping I only need to charge it once or twice before the card arrives.

Other than that, assembly and startup went relatively smoothly! Just a couple of concerning moments like not being able to get wifi during the Ubuntu 22 install when the tutorial said I should have it, but after os installation I was able to just go into settings and set it up.

Tested the important thing, which is that I can stream leverage redemption again!

Tomorrow I will start moving over my files and maybe think about wiping my old laptop and installing Ubuntu mate or something else light and nimble that can run an up to date version of firefox on a tiny purple netbook with three gigs of ram.

skimmed some framework 16 coverage and it seems like sort of the main practical issue is that, assuming all of the teething issues with the review units get sorted out satisfactorily, you would be able to instead get a somewhat better laptop from another company for about. half? the price? so you have to be willing, to get the customizability and support the ecosystem, to pay almost four figures.

looking at it another way, rather than buying the framework 16 with the gpu, you could plausibly buy one of these laptops and a framework 13. which is definitely not the same thing, and would certainly be less flexible in some ways, but would also be a lot more flexible in, you know, a lot of other ways.

the only way this becomes not true in the future is people being okay with it being true now and putting their money in, of course, so I'm thrilled the product exists and I hope it succeeds, to be clear! I mean what you're really paying for is having the objectively coolest device on the block, and that sounds like a solid value proposition to me.

For the fic writer ask: 1, 3, 13, 20 and 24 :)

Yay thank you for asking!

Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

Well, RiSang, for one...does that count? I am a one-trick pony when it comes to pairings (well ok fine, two if you count Kan Jian and Luo Que). I also tend to write things that have a certain amount of framework built-in, like AUs based on movies, or in the case of Pyre, using those episodes of Sha Hai. Oh, and angst! I'm not good with writing too much humour or crackfic or anything like that. At least one of my main characters has to be carrying The Pain of a Tortured Past.

3. Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?

Omegaverse and pregnancy/kid fic. Those are my two hard and fast NOPEs that I will neither read nor write.

13. What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?

To ignore all the "writing advice" and just do it. Use those adverbs. Write that purple prose. Don't just use 'said'. Do whatever you want if it makes you happy. It's your fic, and you can write it how you want, regardless of whether or not it's "proper".

No but really, I used to write a bit for the Hobbit fandom, but I got so stressed by all of the "good writers don't do X!" posts floating around, and it made me so self-conscious of every word, every sentence. It took a long time for me to be like "You know what? No. I don't care if it breaks every one of those 'rules'. I have a story to tell and I'm going to do it my way."

20. Describe your perfect writing conditions.

On my sofa with my laptop, all the pets asleep (so they don't interrupt). Music on, but nothing with lyrics (or at least, not in a language I understand). A bag of tortilla chips and some cherry Pepsi. And also it's 3 am and I'm the only person awake.

24. Have you ever deleted one of your published fics?

Nope. I mean I had some truly cringe-worthy "fic" when I was a kid, but we didn't have the internet back then. Everything I've posted on AO3 is...well, it's not all *great* and I feel like I could definitely do better if I went back and rewrote it, but people still occasionally read my old stuff, and it's nothing I'm ashamed of having written, so it stays.

Promises, more Promises to Myself

I promise that I will pick up my heavily neglected Nikon Z5 and go take some pictures in 2023. 

Its one of those regrets that resulted from my action of picking up an Apple Macbook Pro 14 M2 recently. You see, in my last round of review, I was heavily immersed in some work involving structuring a company for IPO. I still am. 

But the entire crap came down on me, when I got a little more serious with what I wanted the laptop to do for me, besides just looking cool in all her pristine space-age goodness. It was not love on first sight I must admit, even after the first raw reinstallation in recovery mode. 

But then, it quietly took in Microsoft Windows 11 Pro ARM without so much as a glitch, except for a few unaddressed drivers still lingering in her Device Manager. Vmware Fusion 13 got the OS humming before I tried readying it for my full-tilt developer environment setup. After a few intensive days later, I now possess a 4C/6GB/180GB virtual rig that has successfully compiled my first REACT framework. 

Yes, for good measure, it even took in my Microsoft Office Pro 2021 suite and helped me churn out a few decent presentation decks. On the mac of things, yes, Shapr3D ran as smoothly as I would expect from my Alienware 15R4, even with Steam able to properly launch several XCOM 2 WOTC missions over lunches. 

It ran on my first few instances for over 15 hours without a power chord, and then turn back to push through several episodes of Apple TV as the clock struck twelve midnight.    

I don’t know what this is, but the sheer capability of this laptop is giving me real headaches, in that, its forcing me to do more than what I usually would like to over the course of each day...and I need it to give me a break...a chance to pick up my camera and get out of the country to do some shoots!

Yes, I have scheduled two such shoots in the next two months...and I guess a forced booking to Hong Kong and Bali Indonesia would help keep that promise of mine.

Bad Apple!

PS Do not get the Apple Macbook Pro 14 M2 if you treasure your freedom off work.
