Republiekdag.

Dít is hoekom ons 31 Mei nooit sal vergeet.
’n Republiek is gebore.
“Ons sal self besluit oor ons toekoms.”

Op 31 Mei 1961 het Suid-Afrika ’n keerpunt bereik – toe duisende mense op Kerkplein saamgestaan het om die geboorte van ons Republiek te vier.
Dit was die dag toe ons die juk van koloniale oorheersing afgegooi het, die dag toe die land hom uit die Statebond onttrek en ons onder die Engelse juk uitgekom het.
Die dag toe ons gesê het: “Ons sal self besluit oor ons toekoms.”
Vandag is ons vry om te onthou wie ons is, waar ons vandaan kom, en watter nalatenskap ons bou vir die geslagte wat volg.

Geseënde Republiekdag.

The 'Bedford-Bodied' South African mine-resistant truck that fought Africa's first IED war: the Hippo. Three decades later, the Pentagon would spend $48.5 billion trying to recreate what the Afrikaners had built.

Do not install VLC.

Once you install it, you can never go back.

You will never pay 99 cents for a codec again.
You will never buy QuickTime Pro again.
You will never renew RealPlayer Plus again.
You will never pay for Blu-ray decoder software again.
You will never see the words "this file format is not supported" again.

You will become the family tech support person. Forever. Your dad will call you at 11 PM because he downloaded a .mkv from somewhere and Windows refuses to open it.

Your answer will always be the same. "Install VLC."

And then the orange traffic cone will eat his problem in 4 seconds and he will call you a genius.

You did not do that. A French student named Jean-Baptiste Kempf did, in 1996, as a school project at École Centrale Paris. His roommate brought a traffic cone home from the street that year. They made it the logo. 6 billion downloads later, the cone is still undefeated.

Here is the wildest part:

The warning is real. Just not for you.

Apple sold QuickTime Pro for $29.99. VLC killed it. Apple shut it down in 2016.
Microsoft sold Windows Media Center for $9.99. VLC killed it. Microsoft shut it down with Windows 10.
RealNetworks charged $39.99 a year for RealPlayer Plus. VLC killed it.
Sony built Blu-ray to need a $79.99 licensed decoder. VLC ships with libdvdcss and a French court ruling that protects it.

The codec mafia spent 30 years building a tollbooth on every video file on Earth.

A guy whose GitHub location is literally "Coneland" walked through every tollbooth with a cone on his head and never paid a cent.

He was offered millions of dollars to sell it. He said no.

So yes. Do not install VLC. The codec industry has not recovered from the last 6 billion people who did.

100% Opensource.
100% Free.
100% Yours.

The biggest media companies on Earth spent three decades trying to charge you to play your own files.

One French student and a cone he found on the street made all of it pointless.

You don’t need to be into metal to get chills from this.

🇿🇦For those who have not seen this Metro Blitz video
South Africa had a bullet train, the MetroBlitz, 35 years before President Cyril Ramaphosa first made his bullet train promise in 2019.
The MetroBlitz was an experimental narrow-gauge high-speed train which, during testing in 1978, hit 245km/h, setting a world speed record for narrow-gauge rail that remains unbeaten today.
The project began in the 1970s, when Herbert Scheffel of the South African Railways (SAR) experimented with self-steering bogies (trucks), which paved the way for a high-speed passenger service.
The 245km/h record was achieved by one of the Series 4 locomotives, specifically number E1525, which was modified for experiments in high-speed traction.
It achieved the speed record while hauling a modified suburban coach on a stretch of track between Westonaria and Midway in Gauteng.
Union Carriage & Wagon then manufactured the 3kV DC Class 12E electric passenger locomotive in Nigel, Transvaal, for the SAR.
It was a modified single-cab example of the Class 6E1, Series 10 locomotive. The passenger locomotive was designed and built to haul the MetroBlitz.
Union Carriage & Wagon delivered five Class 12E locomotives in 1983, equipped with AEI-283AY traction motives.

Farming requires long-term, even generational thinking.
It’s not for people who don’t even care about raising their own children 70% of the time.

Here she explains how the woke movement coincided with the flip of Universities from male to female dominant and the feminine characteristics inherent in wokeness.

Lots of new eyes are opening to the lies we've all been sold our entire lives.

Many haven't even seen this gem.
Share it with them.

Just ask them to watch it... and then let them stew in the implications for themselves.

Welcome to the mindwar.
