Let winter arrive, Ethanol is going to create one of the biggest problems in high-altitude regions, and hardly anyone is talking about it.

After 15 years in motorsport and travelling across the Himalayas, I can say this in written. Let winter arrive, and places like Leh, Spiti, and other parts of Himachal will face the real impact.

At temperatures touching -30°C in Spiti, even normal petrol used to struggle. We often carried octane boosters to improve cold-weather performance. Petrol was still more reliable than diesel, which could gel in extreme conditions.

Now imagine fuel that absorbs moisture. In freezing temperatures, that moisture can freeze, restrict fuel flow, block fuel lines, crack pipes, and prevent ignition altogether. A vehicle can become completely immobile when it’s needed the most.

For nearly six months every year, people in these regions depend on petrol vehicles for medical emergencies, essential supplies, and daily life. Fuel isn’t a luxury there it’s a lifeline.

This is a serious technical issue that nobody seems to be discussing today. People will only realise & suffer the consequences when winter arrives!! ☺️🙏🏻

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.

This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

@dmuthuk Many times police verification done for me and my family passport renewal with out any payment.I remember last time for my son they simply wanted to make sure he is the person and cleared the verification.

I have a VOTER ID card, but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
I have a AADHAR card but NO, it is not proof of citizenship
I have a PAN Card, but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
I have a PASSPORT but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
So who will give me a CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATE? A govt bureaucrat?
My question is simple: is the problem with the citizen, or with the Mai Baap State itself?😡

There is an old laptop in your closet.

Gathering dust. Dead battery. Slow processor. You keep it because you feel guilty throwing it away.

That laptop can replace every cloud subscription you pay for.

- Netflix
- Google
- Dropbox
- 1Password

That is $42 a month. $504 a year. To rent things you used to own.

The old laptop in your closet could do all of it.

Now meet CasaOS.

A free and open source system that turns any old laptop, Raspberry Pi, or mini PC into your own personal cloud.

You run one command. In 30 minutes, the laptop becomes a server. You open it from your phone, your TV, your work computer, anywhere in the world.

Then you pick the apps you want from a built-in store. One click each.

- Jellyfin to replace Netflix. Stream every movie and show you own.
- Immich to replace Google Photos. Faces and search included.
- Nextcloud to replace Dropbox. Sync every file across every device.
- Vaultwarden to replace 1Password. All your passwords, your keys.
- Syncthing to keep files in sync across every device, no cloud.
- Home Assistant to control every smart device in your home.
- AdGuard to block ads on every device on your wifi.

Setting up a home server the old way took an entire weekend. Install Linux. Learn Docker. Write config files. Set up storage. Fix errors. Look up every app one by one.

CasaOS does all of that for you. No code. No config files. No Linux skills. You see icons on a screen. You click them.

34,116 stars on GitHub. Apache 2.0. Free forever.

Built by a small team starting September 2021. Runs on Raspberry Pi, Intel NUC, old laptops, and most home servers. Over 100,000 Docker apps can be installed.

A new Raspberry Pi costs $50. The old laptop in your closet costs $0. It already works. It is already in your house.

Netflix charges every month. CasaOS doesn't.
Google charges every month. CasaOS doesn't.
Dropbox charges every month. CasaOS doesn't.
1Password charges every month. CasaOS doesn't.

Here is the wild part.

The laptop you forgot about is more powerful than the web server that ran most websites in 2008.

It is sitting in a drawer. It costs you nothing. It already works.

One command. Thirty minutes. Five hundred dollars a year back in your pocket.

Your files. Your photos. Your movies. Your home.

Your closet just became a data center.

इंडियन एक्सप्रेस का बड़ा खुलासा.

एमपी के मुख्यमंत्री मोहन यादव और उनके परिवार ने बीते पांच सालों में 253 एकड़ ज़मीन खरीदी है . ये ज़मीनें उज्जैन के उन इलाकों में खरीदी गई हैं , जहां मध्यप्रदेश सरकार Infrastructure Development का जबरदस्त काम कर रही है .
मुख्यमंत्री मोहन यादव, उनकी पत्नी सीमा यादव , बेटा वैभव यादव, बहू शालिनी यादव बड़े भाई नारायण यादव समेत पूरे कुनबे ने सस्ती जमीनें खरीदकर बहुत बड़ा लैंड बैंक बनाया है . सरकारी खजाने से इलाके के विकास की कई गुना कीमत वसूलने की तैयारी की गई है .
पढ़िए और सोचिये कि ये लोग कितने बड़े खिलाड़ी हैं .
ऐसे ही बड़े बड़े लोगों ने अयोध्या में ज़मीन खरीदी थी .
आज देखना है कि कौन चैनल इस खुलासे पर मोहन यादव को घेरता है ?

Creating awareness is fine. But why do vehicle owners need to go through this? Why is this being thrust upon us?
