Bunsen Labs

This is to report that I made a wrong comment on a YouTube presentation by a woman who has no understanding of Linux, saying Bunsen Lab cannot configure WiFi.

I was wrong, I am live from Bunsen Lab on a USB and it effortlessly configured WiFi and I am posting this to prove it Live from a Bunsen Lab Distribution.

Long long time ago, I used Crunch bang Linux and its versatility is it minimalist but a good work horse, then.

Mind you Internet was horrible then in Ceylon.

I am posting this from Australia.

Just Like in Snal Linux it has all the keyboard or Super key commands on the right hand side of the desktop.

The browser is Firefox is smooth and fast is on the top right hand corner.

It is only 1.8GB. 

Software installer is synaptic package manager.

It has Dropbox, Dilo and Chromium available for install and I did not try them on a Live session.

Yes, I tried Dilo and Abiword and it installed both of them briskly.

I have no hesitation to recommend it, if one is looking for minimalist distribution as opposed to KDE/Plasma.

I do not use Plasma at all but Gnome is my basic.

Good work, guys and girls of Bunsen Lab

BIG Thank YOU.

 

CrunchBang was a Debian GNU/Linux based distribution offering a great blend of speed, style and substance. Using the nimble Openbox window manager, it was highly customisable and provided a modern, full-featured GNU/Linux system without sacrificing performance.

Development of CrunchBang has ended, but it inspired the creation of some excellent spin-off projects by community members.

Running Parallels with Proxy War in Ceylon and Ukraine

This a chapter from my book on "Russia Betrayed" which is in draft stage but would be out before American Election!

Running Parallels with Proxy War in Ceylon and Ukraine

Let me be forthright from the very outset.

I am writing this as a simple Buddhist who is totally against any war anywhere on this Planet Earth.

Hatred begets hatred.

Loving kindness brings harmony.

In Ceylon we had over 35 years of political  hatred under J.R.J (UNP) and Sirimovo (S.L.F.P).

These two parties and their collateral ruined Ceylon. The breakaway offshoot parties from these two major parties still carry hatred in Ceylon including LSSP, CP and MEP.

There are 86 registered parties in Ceylon and one is headed by a monk.

According to Buddha monks should not take part in politics or should not give advice to kings (currently president Biden and Putin), queens or presidents. The latest in this development are Wira Wansa Associate Conglomerate and Champika's new Party of Descent (HATE).

These two are offshoots of the OLD JVP lead by Wije (Wira) Weera who started revolution in this country when there was no need or racial animosity in existence.

He started hating India to begin with.

It is believed North  Korea was instrumental  in creating this party of  descent who used killing opponents in broad day light, as a political stunt and tool.

Less I talk about LTTE is better and it was a party of HATE from its origin and it systematically  exterminated, all other moderate Tamil parties.

TNA is the remnant collateral.

I have nothing but admiration for                     Mr. Sampanthan for his political stamina.

By the way, I do not understand how the Tamil political parties evolved in the North.

Muslim parties analogy is simple.

When two dogs fight, the small dog steals the flesh of politics.

Here is the entry point for CIA.

CIA used Indian RAW as its collateral in creating descent in Ceylon just like in Ukraine.

India hated Ceylon and feared it would supersede Singapore as a power keg of the Indian ocean.

USA and CIA were eyeing Ceylon as a base.

I know it as first hand information since,            I protected the satellite in the surgical theatre as a surgical equipment.

India created D.J.V.P (R.A.W creation) in 1988-89 to scuttle the launch of this satellite.          Indira Gandhi was the architect of the first but I am not sure of the second, may be Rajiv Gandhi.

Only difference in Ukraine was it armed the Neo Nazis and Bandera in Ukraine for over a decade (equivalents of JVP and D.J.V.P).

Both Republicans and Democrats without exception helped to create Russo-phobia.

CIA and MIC (Military industrial Complex) were direct beneficiary but they have now met their nemesis called Russians who withstood Nazis. It looks like Ukraine militants (Bandera) are going to be all but a pushover for Wagner group and Chechen.

I have sympathy for average Ukrainians who are refugees in Poland and EU countries.

Poland had to stomach spill overs historically.

Coming to India and Indians they did not provide refugee status to Ceylonese Tamils.

That is the typical duplicity of Indians.

Currently India while buying cheap Russian fuels and selling them back to EU countries 3 times the stock price and are asking for a seat in the Security Council is the real Geopolitical Duplicity.

Pakistan and the rest of the neutral countries should oppose double dealing Indians and there should not be a place in the Security Council for India.

China obliterated Tibet and Dalai Lama is a lame duck. China fought two wars with India for a narrow stretch of land and should not be given a seat in the Security Council.

Instead South Africa deserves a place in the Security Council.

WHO is a colossal waste and should be abolished for the reason allowing CIA to operate lethal viral labs to kill President Putin  in Ukraine (over 22 labs in number).

One need not do anything to resurrect USA and UK for using Depleted Uranium and let the guys/girls who masterminded these operations die of lethal cancers.

France should be allowed to have Nuclear Plants in every city but they should not be allowed to buy Uranium from outside sources, at all.

They should dig and mine Uranium in France and not in West Africa.

No gas and fuel from Russia or any other country to France and UK until all the Depleted Uranium is utilized in a War Zone of their choice. Above points are raised to show not only India but all except a few EU countries are Duplicity Giants.

This piece is not complete unless I make some references to Israel and Muslim conflict.

Both religions are essentially similar, God based.

One branch arise from a legitimate child and other branch from an illegitimate child from same father.

The God I think was an intermediary by creating another bifid child of humans and gods.

I am a guy who believes in, the god has no relationship to human evolution. If there was a hybrid child it would have been from an alien species who visited this planet millions of years ago having had sex with an evolving primate species.

By the way, the age of this planet is not 7000 years as according to Bible and Quran but much more ancient and revising these texts according to at least Sumerian artifacts, if not scientific is mandatory.

By the way these two texts have many editions and are constantly changing with time.

Archaeologists and writers are born liars except for a few.

This comment applies to Bagawath Geetha, too.

Former CDC chairman and his committee of hifi scientists should be sent to prison for operating "gain in function" research in China.

I have a request for President Putin.

We took 35 years to end our war of attrition and we are totally bankrupt. He should end the War (attrition till next Presidential Election in USA is prudent) soon, on his own accord with a Strategic Bomb near the border of Poland (please avoid spent up Uranium) or on the head quarters of the Military Alliance of the EU, lest Russia too, go bankrupt with Esoteric Missiles of Mass Destruction.

Otherwise, MAD or Mutually Assured Destruction!

Postscript

Please note I am not in Ceylon currently and if I post this post in a local post I will be categorized as a terrorist.

All Ceylonese are by default terrorists thanks to our robust constitution.

I think Ceylon should not have a constitution but let our monks deliberate Security Council Debates, on monthly basis in every village in Ceylon and the U.N.O should fund these rabid monks.

By doing so, (debating security) as rabid dogs,  fighting each other, they will exhaust their inbuilt anger and spent up steam, the rest of the citizens can exercise their free and democratic rights only in their residential domains, if they possess any of their own but not rented out.

According to the proposed amendments to the constitution tenants are terrorists with no legal rights.

In the alternative each monk should be provided with a Steam Deck and Drive with a big overhead TV to play "War Games" in preparation of the Security Council Debates.

I have another proposal!

The rent for University Students should be raised by three times the local prices. By doing so, we can reduce the number entering the Universities drastically and then having more dons than undergraduates in every university that fails to function with perennial strikes.

The dons themselves can create creativity perpetually without students asking valid questions.

Snal Linux is Pretty Basic

 Snal Linux is Pretty Basic.

I am going to relearn all the keyboard short cuts on BOX Utility.

In fact, I am doing it now. 

There is a problem with mouse moving from my desktop and the Box Window and gave it up, thinking of doing it on a live session with al the RAM devoted to the Snal Distribution.

Its mascot is a snail but it is pretty fast.

I had given only 2GB RAM out of 8GB to the Box Utility. 

Real reason, I am posting this is to say something about the Super Key which came as Windows Key a long time ago and I HATED it and never used it.

Mind YOU I came from DOS Era.

My first computer was a DOS enabled long before Windows.

I new keyboard short cuts then.

Keyboard is the basic IO device which should not have proprietary tag attached.

It sets in bad precedence. 

Snal name the Windows Key as Super Key and it has many combination to make you mad (memory) but all the short cuts are listed on the right side of the desktop.

Problem is if one is left handed this arrangement makes him mad.

It gives the feel of DOS time.

Well Done Snar Linux, it is Arched based.

U.N.O disclosure of an interview with an Alien Being

 U.N.O disclosure of an interview with an Alien Being
We need to revive our old industry now that foreign liqueurs are banned!
Reproduction
U.N.O disclosure of an interview with an Alien Being
What happens next?
Multi Purpose Multi Liner
I am fed up of quotations or one liners.
But I start with a one liner to be interspersed between Trump's Twitters.
Quotations or Twitter one liners are good for repetition or reputation of the quoter but worth nothing in between!
Now my Multi Liners come after the closure of a U.N.O disclosure of an interview with an alien being at the Water's Edge in Colombo.
This should not be taken as a hypothetical case but a real encounter.
1. One who goes and search the archives is none other than our Pope.
2. One who takes the Koran and makes a new entry with a back dated entry is a Muslim.
3. One who ask for redeem of a Merit (Kusal) Re-Commission is a Buddhist.
4. One who goes for a pee (poo is excluded by the request of the alien guy who smells like, what not?) is an Indian M.P.
5. One who takes a plaster cast (for reverse engineering) of the Teleporting Machine is a Chinese.
6. One who taps the wire or the computer system is a friend of Putin.
7. One who sends a ballistic missile for testing is a North Korean scientist.
8. One who orders an  anti-ballistic missile from America is a South Koren.
9. One who asks the closing question after the disclosure is over is an American Journalist (he is still sceptic that aliens are real) from CNN.
He asks are you really an Alien from the Alien/s?
FOX News wait till TRUMP has his first twitter feed to enlarge upon!
10. One who orders to look up instead of look down is P.M. Abe of Japan (No Japanese has ever seen an alien due to the polite head bending attitude to foreigners and foreign affairs.
11. One who digs his own grave is an old communist from Ceylon.
12. One who asks for a pint-ah (Pilsner, Lager, Stout, McCallum's Three Coins ) is our Finance Minister after the budget speech.
13. One who test a Nuclear Missile is an Iranian.
14. One who blames America for financial melt down is a Saudi Foreign Minister.
This list can go and anybody can edit or reinvent it but the catch 22 or the catch phrase is;
33. One who asks for a long term loan to settle old loans of an adversary is none other than our own P.M.
Old Breweries in Ceylon (now defunct after J.R.J),
The largest of Sri Lanka's brewers is the Lion Brewery, which is also the oldest brewery in the country. It produces over 80% of Sri Lanka's beers. In 1988 it constructed a new brewery at Biyagama to replace the century-old facility at Nuwara Eliya. In 1993 the brewery became              a subsidiary of Carson Cumberbatch & Co Ltd, and in 1996 the Carlsberg Group acquired a 25% share of the company. The brewery's portfolio includes lagers, strong beers and stouts, notably Lion, Lion Strong and Lion Stout. The company also brews Carlsberg and Guinness under license. The brewery exports its beers to the U.S., Europe, Japan, Australia and the Maldives.

Asia Pacific Breweries is a Singaporean-based joint venture between Heineken International and Fraser and Neave. It has a brewery in Mawathagama where it produces a range of King beers, including Bison XXtra, Kings Lager, Kings Pilsner and Kings Stout.
The country's third and smallest brewer is the McCallum Brewery, which was established in 1963 in Meegoda. In 2011 the brewery was acquired by Cargills Ceylon PLC. It produces a number of lagers, ales and stouts, notably Three Coins and Sando Stout.

In using Old Hardware, is value added or value lost?

My Own Reproduction

 

In using Old Hardware, is value added or value lost?

The simple answer today, is Value Lost.

I want this piece to be brief.

There many for and against and counter argument to this statement.

My argument is based on “Energy Saving”.

But I have a big alibi now.

He is nobody other than Jon Hall.

His nick name or is it his pet name I never say, simply due to my respect for him and his co-author Peter Parfitt.

I got the fear out Linux by reading the book "Joy of Linux", written in hilarious way, in the same tone as “Joy of Sex”.

I had that book, the latter book, and gave it away free in the first opportunity, I had.

A man who has read, “Kinsey Report” as a Medical Student, Joy of Sex was not illuminating to me physiologically.

I must tell you we had only one more book on sex in the faculty.

It was lost.

A junior girl to my batch of students stole it from the medical library.

We had to do some detective and forensic work to nail her down.

Thank good she was our junior and she became a laughing sock/stock in no time.

I can remember two names of women from that batch.

One is a professor in Geneva and the other girl is the when mentioned above.

I do not know what sex exploits she had made and never seen her again in my life.

The professor was wife of my boss who recruited me to the university after a long gap and lapse aboard.

I have the same respect to Jon Hall to my boss and he is a guy like Tin Tin's Captain Haddock at times.

He is not absent minded like him, though.

He writes a value piece for Linux magazine, every month and this is only a summary.

1. I had 6 to 9 computers doing various work for me and three years ago started dismantling one by one.

One and only one reason.

They were consuming huge amount of electricity and my electricity bill was sky rocketing.

One of the reasons is downloading Linux Isos and testing them and writing (always) nice piece, just to keep the developers interested.

They do it free and in their spare time.

My calculation was it is far better to subscribe to Linux magazine (that is less than my one months Electricity Bill) and wait for the DVD that comes with the magazine.

Often double sided.

It saves me on the daily consumption of CD/DVDs which is more than my research slides (Pathology Slides), too.

But I never knew that the Cooling Fan consumes twice as much electricity (must be thrice with the room temperature over 35 degrees centigrade, in day time.)

2. I did not want to donate the old computers to a poor guy who cannot afford it.

He/she won't be able to pay his electricity bill.

On both counts I am in agreement with Jon Hall.

Now the facts I did not know.

1. I always ask the vendor how much electricity it consumes?

Nobody was able to give me the values.

Average “old” desktop consumes 250 to 350 watts.

Gaming computer over 1000 watts.

2. for every watt of usage cooling system consumes two watts.

It is like an electric kettle running not for two minutes for hours on end.

I have cut down my units by 100 units by operating only two computers now.

3. Laptops consume 100 watts.

4. Netbook 17 watts.

5. Tablets, I do not know.

6. One may have to consider the cost of refurbishing.

7. Transport and shipping also costs a lot.

8. New computers are more energy efficient.

So consider sending them to scrap, metal specially to save energy.

Think twice before accepting old hardware.

This was something, I said during tsunami.

Lot of people gave old cloths to the victims.

Most of the victims considered it as a curse or insult than a blessing.

That does not apply to money, even if there is dog shit in it one would wipe it and use them, in this country.

Money corrupts even the best street hawker.

So when you give something FREE make sure to give a new one.

Rest do a garage sale!
 

I gave a very expensive book to a guy who is poor but an intellectual.

I made sure I put a nice cover too.

I let him choose it at the book shop.

I told him, I need to brush through the first few chapters on computer tips.

That time was used to put an adhesive cover and I did not write (donated by) anything on it.

He loves it.

 

How to Identify a Screw Jack?

Since this site for Linux and Most Linux guys are not sex maniacs but average guys or citizenry, I have added a bit of spice to get more page hits.

It may not work, though!

I have avoided all the medical guys who were Screw Jacks in our time and guys who were impotent but were interested in pornography.

I should state that one girl who was three years junior to us who used to borrow Kinsey Report (we had one copy in our library) on regular 48 hour interval and we figured out the candidate from the records. 

Unfortunately we lost the copy.

We do not know who stole it.

Fortunately we were seniors and many of us had a glance of it.

Then there was a senior guy (try avoiding giving hints) who I found naked in his department in broad day light.

I reported it (there was another drunkard in Dental Faculty who was found naked and we summarily discharged him).

Then there was another guy who was found naked in Reference Section of the Library who ended up as the dean of the faculty.

All these guys are dead and I have no regrets in exposing them in my retirement (23 years of no medical exposure).

There is a lot these type of guys among medical graduates, and their attraction to medicine is probably due to this trait.

How to Identify a Screw Jack? 

The answer is is very simple .

Look at at our Education Ministers past and present, all of them are / were some form of maniacs garbed in Parliamentary attire. 

Below there is the Kinsey Report and I have highlighted one minister who had venereal disease and he was a Muslim.  

I have edited a bit with liberal intent, since Election Campaign is well ahead (since it is not declared, I would be vocal now).

This piece is bit of satire added to it's content.

Features are;

1. One who does not wash his or her hands regularly or rarely.

My guess work is that they fear the pheromone of the last episode will attract another vulnerable candidate. 

There is no scientific evidence but only my Gut Feeling. 

2. The guys who use mouth washes.

3. Guys who use regular deodorants and body sprays.

4. Guys who bathe daily come winter or summer. 

These are the guys who suspect his her girls friend or wife would smell the last episode.

Being myself a active medical guy, I never touched my kids until I had a decent bath to prevent them getting nasty hospital infections.

I know my kids hated that but now they are adults and they have figured out my daily protocols.

5. They also pretend to be Meditation Masters to lure vulnerable. 

Just read about the Indian Guru who is now in prison in United States.

5. I think that is enough as a base but only addition is the TV talk Show Guys and Monks and Priests.

The woman in HIRU TV is a classic example.

I hope SuGa is not branded as one of them coming from Australasian background.

Australians are ace homosexuals just like the British and since I am holidaying in Australia I will leave it at that.

I do not know what is the sexual orientation of Chinese except the hard core prostitutes, now in Ceylon. 

I do not go to Chinese restaurants in Australia by default.

 

The Kinsey Scale and Report

Rating Scale of 7 with one X category (docile)
Description
 
0 Exclusively heterosexual
 
1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
 
2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
 
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual
 
4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
 
5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
 
6 Exclusively homosexual
 
X - category

No socio-sexual contacts or reactions
 

Kinsey and his colleagues (fearing backlash from undesirables, including priests and politicians not scientists) were very clever not to identify categories but put the sexual orientation in a continuum.
 

This clearly is not scientific in a clinical setting.
 

This has caused problems for an average clinician.
 

Often indirect questions or indirect tests are done to avoid embarrassment to both parties.
In an open an promiscuous society, as of today, this has to change at least for scientific reasons.
An adult mature clinician should be able ask a direct question and keep it in his/her (no need for recording it for posterity but he/she should be able give a percentage in a particular set up, say priests / politicians, for proper assessment of a clinical problem, say AIDS) head, as long as a particular patient is under him or her.

 
It is no point only the cardinal (party leader) or the head priest (school principle) is aware of the situation.
 

Often these guys and girls are in education or in political hierarchy and these facts are hidden from the average young parents with kids.

 
As a clinician, if I am asked a question by a mother or father I should be able to tell 10 percent (it is much, much more in reality) of adult priests or teachers are that way oriented (for clarity) and leave the parent to take adequate precaution and or attention.

 
Because I am not in patient care currently (voluntary decision) I will bare few Ceylonese facts.
 

We had a higher education minister with venereal disease.
I have avoided the time period and you are free to guess.
There were over 16 (most likely more) principals or his or her close assistant in a particular dense region (I worked in the border region, this is Gampaha District) who were preying kids.

They had the backing of the then female President.

 
I have had examined the victims but all the parents were against reporting the incidences.
Ten Kilometers from where I worked there was a place run by a Swedish Guy who was an ace pedophile.
We alerted the police, thinking his passport would be impounded but he went scot free, thanks to a prominent female politician.

 
Yesterday, by bizarre coincidence, I witnessed an accident.
My gut feeling was that this particular kid, under ten was a victim.
I avoided eye contact and vanished in a flash. 

The adult guy was a Buddhist priest!
