@EvanAndrewsWX Hope you're enjoying retirement. Thanks for reminding people about this. It happens every year just as surely as Spring storms and Summer heat.
A lot of hoopla/hype over what is a somewhat normal once a year occurrence in these parts...Saharan Dust.
Here's the scoop. Today is Friday. Will we have some? Yes. Mon-Tue
It will give us a hazy sky. Pretty sunrises/sunsets, and possibly some allergies.
Two days. Then it's gone.
Psalm 37:16-17 KJV
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

Farmer: "Gentlemen. I'd like to present the ultimate plant-based protein technology."
Investor 1: "We're listening."
Farmer: "It converts inedible plant matter into complete protein. Grass, cornstalks, brewery waste, vegetable peelings. Anything cellulose-rich that humans can't digest."
Investor 2: "Energy requirements."
Farmer: "Sunlight."
Investor 2: "For the plant matter, you mean."
Farmer: "And for the conversion. Same sunlight. Reused."
Investor 3: "Heating costs for the bioreactor."
Farmer: "None. The unit holds 38.5 degrees year-round on its own."
Investor 1: "Failure rate."
Farmer: "Self-repairing. The unit also replicates once a year at no additional cost."
Investor 3: "Replicates."
Farmer: "Produces a smaller version of itself. Which becomes a full unit."
Investor 2: "Net carbon."
Farmer: "Neutral. The carbon in goes back to the air the grass pulled it from. Round and round, same atoms, no new ones added."
Investor 1: "And the waste output."
Farmer: "Twenty tonnes of soil enrichment per unit per year. The waste is also a product."
Investor 2: "This would obliterate Beyond Meat."
Farmer: "It already has. They just don't know yet."
Investor 1: "Where can we see one."
Farmer: "There are about 1.5 billion currently deployed. Have been for ten thousand years."
[silence]
Investor 3: "It's a cow, isn't it."
Farmer: "It's a cow."
Investor 2: "We were promised plant-based."
Farmer: "The plant goes in one end. I don't know what else you wanted."
We boost intracelular zinc concentrations by taking zinc with hydroxychloroquine. If somebody cannot get a hydroxychloroquine prescription for whatever reason they can substitute the hydroxychloroquine with quercetin or egcg, they’re both over the counter. Here’s more info https://t.co/F4FXONTO33
Ubuntu Hired Security Research Firm After Rust Re-writes Raised "Serious Concerns"
With the release of Ubuntu 26.04 (Long Term Support), Ubuntu is revealing massive security and ship-ability issues with the Rust-based, GNU Coreutils replacements.
Ubuntu 26.04 (Long Term Support) is shipping tomorrow… and Canonical has published an update on their quest to replace GNU CoreUtils with Rust-based re-writes.
Highlights:
- After developers raised “some serious concerns”, Canonical hired an external security research firm to evaluate the Rust re-writes (known as “uutils”).
- That security firm quickly found 113 significant issues, with a large portion of them being severe security issues warranting a CVE.
- Only some of those issues in the Rust re-writes have been fixed for the Ubuntu 26.04 release.
- Repeat: Ubuntu 26.04 is shipping with significant known issues in the new Rust coreutils.
- Some of the most critical Rust-Re-Written commands (cp, mv, and rm) were found to contain a large number of significant “Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use” issues, the kind of issues which create race condition vulnerabilities. The kind often exploited by hackers.
- As such, cp, mv, and rm will not be shipping in Ubuntu 26.04. Even with their clear “it’s fine if Ubuntu 26.04’s rust re-writes contain significant bugs” policy… the issues with cp, mv, and rm were simply TOO severe.
- Despite this undeniably disastrous rollout of the Rust-based rewrites of Coreutils, the Ubuntu team plans to ship the next release, in 6 months (26.10), with 100% of the GNU Coreutils replaced with the (currently comically broken) Rust re-writes.
