Facts about American Election

1. Donald Trump had 10 million votes more than in 2016.

2. Biden outperformed popular Hilary Clinton by 15 million.

3. Trump won most of the marginal or disputed counties.

4. There were over 1000 complaints of election irregularities.

5. Rules of the games were changed to favour democrats by local electoral officials, contrary to the legislative procedures.

There was an overcount of 10,000 votes in a particular county.

Mike Pence did throw the towel out, perhaps prematurely.

Biden won.

I think Mike Pence had ulterior motive of running for presidency on a later date. He was an attorney. My guess is, if he contests he probably would be defeated by democrats.

If somebody is greedy for power he or she would be blinded by logic of the sutuation.

That is the miracle of American politics.

When asked about Ukrainian war or similar question by Tucker Carlson, Mike Pence in response said he did not care for Americans or Ukrainians.

This prosecution is political and not in anyway criminal.

There is an attempt by ruling party to stifle constitutional rights of all Americans.

I am not partisan here.
I want the electoral officers to act impartially. If the American system fails, it creates precedence.
Then guys in Ceylon will use the holes in the legal system to be in power eternally.

We are going to have an unconvincing presidential election result in 2024 which may go to counting the second and third preferences.

My advice is for the voter to mark only the candidate of his or her choice (preference) and avoid the second choice.

Why do we want to elect a second or third choice candidate.

Marking the second choice is optional and not mandatory.

Bottom line is voting procedure should be simple without added burden on the voter.

There a is lot to be changed in our constitution. I hope people will come to proper senses lest politicians will continue to ruin our country.


Linux Containers according to chatGTP

This is the first time I used chatGTP.

The outcome is impressive.

I ask the question through Quora.

Linux containers are different from windows containers.

The containers manage packages in isolation within the kernel avoiding conflicts within the system.

The docker is the standard for Debian.

However, Ubuntu Core is container specific distribution.

Linux container ecosystem while isolates packages within the kernel system but seamlessly integrate, even with windows containers.

I am new to Linux containers.

Since I am winding up my blog pieces here including Linux, I thought of writing this piece as a reminder for me to see where I left footprint before saying good bye.

If I happen to come back and blog again, I know the point where I left.

I am using Debian exclusively and I do not think I need not change my bulwark and docker container.

Reason of my hibernation is dirty politics that will be on the center stage until the end of 2024.

It is going to a long!

Eternalism

1. Some see certain number of Past life or Rebirths (both self and cosmos) and come to the view of belief that

These are seen (not observed in this life) with deep or immersive Samadhi states.
Goes beyond the reality (inevitable change)and become a view or opinion of permanent self and being.

2. Some see it for eons and also the evolution of the cosmos.

3. Some see 30 or 40 eons.

4. Some come to the view of eternalsm by simple logic.

If one becomes attached to any one of these views one is bound to be reborn again due grasping to these views of eternalism of self and cosmos.

Not grasping to these views is the Dhamma way of Samadhi.

These principles are deed, hard to see, hard to understand, beyond the scope of reason, sublime, peaceful, subtle, comprehensible to the astute and the Buddha makes them known after realising them with his own insight.
