Ubuntu and Mint on a Intel NUC

I bought a NUC without a hard disk and only 8GB RAM.

Intel's  visual secure boot is a bit of a pain.

I am not sure one can dual boot but it has option for Windows and Linux at boot time.

Both Ubuntu 21 and Ubuntu derivative Mint are running sleekly in the box.

I haven't got Steam 3 to test the games.

NUC bottom is for the SATA have disk.

It has power cable and data cable both are tiny.

It runs at 18 Watt capacity when not running games.

NUC top consists of integrated Graphics, System and there are two slots for memory.

It is very quiet when running.

I bought it to cut on my electricity bill.

It has WiFi, unlike my old PC in which, I have to stick a USB Huawei Mobile unit (with a SIM card).

I bought it from Lanka Bell but Lanka Bell service did not reach out house.

Both Linux distributions  booting with a  USB stick avoid proprietary codec utilities but guess, one can download them after installation.

I am not sure whether one has to pay for some utilities which I have no objection to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu guys and girls also have to pay for their rice and curry at a time of global meltdown and food crisis.

There is no free meal which is a saying in UK and I am not sure what Biden''s War machine is saying in America to poor Americans.

May be buy your our own food from Odessa in Ukraine as mercinaries.

Well they can join Ukraine as mercinaries which is already well into action with more than 70% of Ukrainians who are deactivated (in other words dead or injured).

CNN, BBC and FOX News deliberately count down on casualties and if they are not down why are they asking new recruits from abroad?

President Putin is up to it and there is numerical superiority probably 1 to 3 and incrementally rising.

It was not so during early phase of the invasion.

When we had LTTE War we were asked to tighten our belts and my belt had being tight all my life (over work) but after retirement my belly is no more flat but bulging.

That applies (obesity) to all our members including the domestic aid.

I am thankful to Ranil and Combo very soon we will need belts.

I am specially thankful to President Putin, the problem of obesity, he solved without firing a single bullet in the direction of America but unfortunate guys in X-elensky Zone will have sleepless and hungry nights.

This what the war brings but during our ethnic problems we were including LTTE were very well fed.

Not anymore in Ceylon.

Mint has overtaken Ubuntu

Yes Linux Mint has overtaken Ubuntu.

I hated it by being an avid free software addict and never used Mint with commercial codecs in the past.

Time has changed, I have softened and I still say Ubuntu's ESP Utility is FAB and if not for that I would have given up with Ubuntu and stuck only with Debian.

One word about Intel NUC, it only supports USBs of high capacity and one cannot boot from an external SATA connected with a USB 2 or ?3.

I had a 320GB old (not SATA) with corrupt boot record.

I installed Ubuntu and Mint.

I still have 200GB left.
Unlike Apple and Windows, Linux does not have bloatware.

That is it's beauty.

Trying to boot with Debian 15 series was a total failure on the external disk.

But Debian is running superbly on the NUC with WiFi connection.

It does not have Abiword but Emmabantus come and fill up that gap in depreciating and old packages.

I believe for another 5 to 10 years these utilities should remain and we have not recovered from the pandemic but we are going to get hit worse by economics.

Turning to Linux, even this late will bring healthy outcomes.

Thanks Linus Torvalds you are a real Gentleman!

DO NOT throw away old gadgets at least DONATE to schools in the third world.

Justice, Violence and Politics in Ceylon

I have two pieces here on Justice and Violence in Ceylon.

I have avoided politics in Ceylon, since there is not a soul left in Ceylon to get us out of the current plight.

They are all out there to pocket the money to their pockets and nothing filter to the voters who elected them.

When voters (65% of them) are stupid as they are, they deserve one meal a day.

Then only the blood would floor to their brains (physiological reaction to impending hypoglycemia).

All this happened under Sirima and NM and this is history repeating itself but in more devastating terms.

Printing money won't help.

We need commodities in real time.

Screen printing (money and objects) by a printer that prints is good only for America.

By the way, printing has gone up by as almost 500% and school copy books are out of stock and very pricely.

Of course, we did not have power outages, then.

Power outages happened under Premadasa  and I was working with Internationals and they could not operate computers in Digana and we packed them to Hotel Galadari.

These Americans if they do not have Internet connectivity especially for their spyware to which Israel ably helping 😶Americans think world does not exist in the far East especially in Russia and Petersburg Square.

The world is now upside down and Putin and Ruble will start ruling the world.

The upsurge of dollar is going to be temporary.

Come next Winter not this winter Germany and EU will be on the verge of collapse with non menstruating (they do not have feeling when in menopause) women running the financial affairs.

These women are greedy and pocket money to their own pockets, only.

The other term is futuristic investments, not volatile stock markets.

They are all not rice eating nations and Asians will feel the impact of global economic collapse both with wheat flour and rice flour shortages.

I have been living without rice for 15 years (chemical poisoned rice allergy) and currently without chocolates.

I have substituted Tea and Sugar on the hand (Called Alle Kema).

The Ceylon Wonder (with monks advising) is going to be that spirits will go up by 300% in mid October and that alone is enough to change any political power.

In Sirima's time it was Bread or American Piti that made JRJ in very old age to come to power.

By the way, I signed his last blood report as dead report and came home by train and by the time the train  reached Ragama, white flags were coming up.

It is going to be black flags this time round.

I will switch to my Linux piecee and New Physics from now onwards.

Politics is very fluid and bane to me.

Excuse the typos my regular cellphones are dead with no data from MobiTel and Dialog.

This is coming from Hutch.

Endless OS is Superb

 Endless OS is Superb

I have updated Endless OS in my laptop today.

It gives my laptop the appearance of a larger version of a cellphone.

It's history is unique.

I hated Microsoft Windows preinstalled when I bought the laptop in Singapore, many moons ago.

Microsoft crafted OEM, BIOS did not allow dual booting or erasing Windows.

But Endless OS did care less and erased everything.

Of course, I removed  the 1000GB SATA hard disk and installed a 120GB hard disk.

Incidentally, Endless OS, too, does not respect dual booting.

The worse scenario, is I cannot boot the laptop with a USB stick having a Linux distribution, due to the BIOS (UEFI) restriction.

I rarely use the laptop but my PC.

Incidentally I bought a Tiny Intel NUC box which is small and cute.

NUC is noise free and costs little with only 15 Watts output.

My reason for buying it was to cut down on the electricity and telephone bills.

Cellphone also costs a lot and recharging it's battery daily is a pain.

Who needs a laptop now?

Portable Linux on an Old Mini Disk

My oldest mini disk had the capacity of 320GB.

I had to go to Singapore to buy it.

It had Windows in it and I have erased it and mounted Linux on it.

It had an attractive box and USB had two ports one probably for power and other for data.

Using Debian Disk Utility I securely, erased it.

Then I had another with 500GB capacity and another with 1000GB.

None had data and old my data is in my PC or in DVDs.

I was a cricket addict and I recorded almost all the cricket matches, after we won the Cricket World Cup.

I do not watch cricket after it became commercial and especially after Indian IPL.

Having said that it looks like we have a good set of young players and given the right attitude we can repeat success.

Good luck to all but I do not like names like kusal, akusal, dhaham and like names.

The players should use their surnames in public and among players calling any other Christian name is OK for comradeship and status.

I think these names killed some players and there is no cricket in Buddha Dhamma.

Buddha played the greatest mental game of all time and absolute concentration on the next ball to play, may be helpful.

I use this in my Linux work.

Coming to the portable disks I installed Ubuntu, Debian, Magiea and Mint in over 350GB each taking roughly 50GB and the rest for the large Home Partition.

With 64 bit Distributions ESP partition is vital for booting and both Debian and Emmabantus have problem with GRUB boot loader and by convention do not use ESP.

If one is using only one distribution and one disk, there is no problem but guy like me who tests and use multiple distributions, in one or two disk ESP is essential.

Step 1
The way about is to install Ubuntu and allow it to take over the disk.
It makes a GRUB boot partition and ESP and one big Root partition.

Then use Gparted and delete the Root partition.

Step 2
Install Debian and let it take over the disk with a Very Big Home Partition.
Delete the home partition and make it smaller.

Repeat this with the 3rd or 4th distributions.

Finally, reinstall Ubuntu and it reads all the distributions and make nice boot menu.

I used to edit the boot menu in the good old days but by this method no editing of the boot menu is needed.

Mint coming from Ubuntu also make a nice GRUB boot record.

1000GB disk was formatted with FAT 32 and NTFS for data.

By the way, I generally use E4 partitioning but for UBUNTU, I used btrfs or butter partitioning.

My understanding of partition types is rudimentary but for Puppy I use FAT 32 and for Knoppix I use Knoppix dedicated partition type.

Forget it's name.

MultSystem also use FAT and I still use it's old (both 32 and 64 bits) iso in a USB, an Ubuntu derivative and only single distributions with single sfsk isos can be mounted (in a USB stick).

Unlike other systems one can delete an iso after installation and it edit the GRUB file accordingly.

It comes from France and make sure to Press F2 to get English language.

No German version available.

I think French hate Germans.

By the way, Linux English magazine is published in Germany and is a very good magazine.

Linux Voice magazine is incorporated.

Since, I do not do any coding I stopped subscribing to it 5 years ago.

With every magazine there are two Linux distributions on DVD.

That alone is worth.

West is Screwed Up by Themselves

Let me be point blank.

This is what happens when one appoints women on top of financial institutions.

According to Buddha this is full blown Abuddhassa Kalo.

Eastern Terminology is Kali Yugaya.

Kali is a blood thirsty Indian Female Goddess.

When she is reining the world will be ruled by women of low quality.

Mrs. Thatcher  was an aberration, and her history won't repeat itself.

Recipe is Chaos of unprecedented  proportion.

We had Sirima  in Ceylon history and the worse economic  hit, under "NM and the Clan" after the colonial independence.

Current episode will be the worse with Eaton College and Oxford (reminds me of SWRD and Vijayananda Dahanayake as the PM and Buddha-Rakkithas instead of protecting Buddhism protecting and consorting female and homosexuals, together.

Current Sobithas are no different.

There is one man among all these.

He is President Putin.

Let me dispense X-elernsky who is always high with drugs.

He is worse than a pimp in Ceylon brothels.

Russia is the only country without 'Woke Culture'.

Putin knows how to deal with them.

He won't send them to battle front but to America to spy on 'Work Culture' in Politics.

Infiltrate and destroy is the CIA and KGB strategy.

Also renamed Kandyan Govi Buddhist.

Putin has let the West get screwed by themselves with sanctions.

Sanctions are hitting the West cum winter and beyond.

Next year 2023 will be the worse winter of all.

Energy Crisis only peaks next year.

Printing currency by FED is not the solution.

Russians will laugh through their Arxxes pointing them to America from Alaska and from space.

It is ironical Iranian's Drones are the deadliest kamakasis that Ukrainians fear
The delivery has not yet taken place and prototypes are sent fot testing.

Ergadon's drones have hit the ground already.

What a reset?

Small is Beautiful, and Chips going Nano from Anstrong

It is important I should make a Head Note to this piece, first.

Our analogue eye can see only 36 frames per minute to differntiate, a still image from aoving object.

I think snakes with infrared vision may have more frames per second to taget a slow moving mouse.

The cats and dogs with domestication may have lost fps rate in evolution compared to a tiger or lion.

This physiological limitation makes the brain to go into illusion (not delusion that is associated with meditation practice)  mode and enjoy the TV and Video games.

The nerve conduction in human nerves is very slow but interpretation of what one  sees or what one is intending to see make it possible to go into illusion mode.

The magicians are good at this and make the observer to believe in what he says and and substitute hidden objects ambidextrous spin.

He is using slow nerve conduction and brain interpretation to twist the reality.

Reality is we cannot see beyond a certain size depending on the size of the lens and twisting of upside down image to an upright and perfect image in motion.

The brain networks relay back (my belief) what is expected not what is happening.

The ball in hand and in motion and next point of arrival is correctly anticipated  and coordinated to make a ball game possible in real time.

The refractory period is important for muscles to act in coordination.

Even man made machine have this refractory period integrated for us to use a typewriter.

Digital typewriter use this anticipation tactics effectively which I used to hate but accommodating well now.

Me killing a mosquito is an example the a female mosquito provides me enough refractory delay.

The hunter use this in shooting a moving animal at a distance.

Hunting animal including snakes use rays beyond visible range to catch a mouse who has poor reflexes.

This is further hampared by our right sided or left sided tendency in hand coordination.

Very few are ambidextrous by birth.

The bottom line is do not go by the hype industry make about the gadget they are selling.

Any gadget that exceeds 36 frames is good enough  for your kid.

By two of the cheaper game boxes for high end box which is waste of money.

The spare one gives an allowance once the guarantee period of  the game box is over.

It is stupidity to buy the latest which I did with my kids and they are gathering dust in the attic.

Invariably the new one comes the old one in the shop had to be sold at cost price and waiting until January (skip the Christmas Rush) is prudent.

All the gadget will be 20% high due to chip shortage. 

Besides giving the old console to a kid whose parents gone bust postpandemic is real Santa Close coming home.

By helping the proxy war in Ukraine, America has spoiled this Christmas and no gas and electricity  and more kids will die of hunder in Europe and America.

This already evident in South Africa!

There is global chip shortage and chip has gone up in price by 20%.

My interst on chips has an indirect relationship.

I want Steam Deck and Dock to succeed. 

It is the Linux Game Box, that comes from America.

It can play both Windows and Linux games.

Problem is the manufacture of graphic cards that can handle frames per second rate of double the fps of a old cinema films which is 72 fps.

There is not a single game box that can exceed 60 fps, currently.

Reason is that the chip is still manufactured at 10 nanometers, too thick.

By the way the old scientific measure of my time with microscope was in micrometers and not in nanometers until electron microscope came into existence.

We never see actual 3D images but a virtually synthesized image of a cut piece of a block of several pieces into micrometer thin sections.

Unit was one Angstrom in Electron Microscope.

One nano is 10 Angstrongs in size.

The chips in current use is 10 to 12 and with fine Lazer cutting gear the industry is making chips and electronic chips smaller and smaller and one day a tiny chip transmitting one electron at a time.

That is quantum chip technology and their memory capacity would overtake our human brain.

Than the machine or the AI will takeover mankind's evolution but the cellphone has to be palmed size for our hand is the limiting factor.

From infrared remote control to space travel is possible then but never beyond over Solar System.

We have the one gravity restrain of our solar system and we cannot succeed in space without water, oxygen and food or simply glucose the building machine of our energy system.

Elon Musk is rich but not mad and he knows how to multiply his profits.

It is the guys who are paying him who are MAD arsxxzs.

There is hectic race for making a chips of 7 nanos, in Thaiwan and they have set eyes on 3 nanometer chip wafer.

The American giant INTEL is falling behind the cellphone industry and even behind on PC manufacture (rather laptops now).

But Intel's NUC box is Cute and  noise free. 

I bought one under Rs.100,000/= and is running Linux Debian smoothly.

It does not have audio port but I borrowed a USB audio jack from my son to mitigate that minor inconvenience. 

At least in my retirement Linux is running high and I won't try playing games, on my NUC but would like to see a Ceylonese kid playing one.

That won't  happen in Ceylon with food shortages and mothers unable to feed their babies.

Who can buy a NUC box?

We are in total debt thanks to our stupid politicians.

When chip industry is going up a country  with golden sand is planning to export ganja or hashish and sold our shore to China to extract golden sand FREE for chip manufacture.

We are so stupid I wish not to be born in this failed state or island that give silica or sand free to China and takes loans from undeclared private global partners.

It is worse than the bond scams.

When the China start a war to capture Thaiwan the chip industry will have a nose drive.

We could have invited  Intel to build a chip (called FAB) manufacturing unit in Ceylon.

We failed.

At least we should entice Russia to get involved in such an investment since due to Ukraine War, Russia is experiencing, a shortage of chips for their aircrafts and drones.

Out stupid Presedent has already antogonized Russia. 

Hemp, Cannabis, THC and CBD

I have never encouraged or have smoked marijuana, even though, I was  relatively a heavy smoker. 

I have only puffed a pipe once in front of my father who had become a Beedi smoker near his death.

He was very poor and I bought the best tobacco from UK to last the last few days of his life on this planet.

I made him a pipe smoker believing he inhskes less and the bystanders including me more of it indirectly.

That was my scientific logic.

I stopped smoking but continued to become a subtle alcohol addict and it took nearly 12 years of determination to wean myself off.

I have one more addiction and that is good quality tea.

Given the choice of tea and coffee, I prefer tea.

The ratio is 9 cups of tea to one cup of coffee.

This has come down drastically due to economics in Ceylon.

Never give a free cup of tea is my current moto, especially to a politician.

Underlying factor is economy.

Coffee is expensive in Ceylon.

I dropoed talking about cannabis long time ago when I finished my book on charms of alcohol at Amazon Books. 

Here having named the two biochemicals THC or Tetra Hydro Cannabinnol (alcohol) and CBD or Cannabidiol (oxydized product of THC), I am going to stop talking about cannabioids.

CBD mitigate the psychoactive actions of THC and only good quality industrial variety of Hemp has this property.

What we try to grow in Ceylon has THC and no CBD at all and is called hashsh or ganja. 

Politicians in Ceylon are trying to promote this as  an aurvedic medicine.

 A sinister play.

And it is a prominent woman who is promoting this industry.

Politically she should be wiped out of politics and given the permission to have her own cultivated land made out  of an island made in the sea by the Chinese investors.

The parliament should pass an act and allocate this piece of the sea for her commercial project.

For my part, I will act as an acting director of Apaya, the Hell until a permanant director is made and that is taking a long time in human earth time.

I am going to meet  all these guys at the door to Apaya (I am not allowed to enter the front end, guest room of Apaya until I stop donating Dhammapada to needy Ceylonese).

I am going to start a Hemp Industry in Ceylon to make the pulp for printing Dhamnapada.

By the way, Chinesse 5000 years ago discovered Cannibis long before discovering the grain of rice.

Prehistorically hemp was used by our human ancestors 50,000 years ago.

That is for cloths or the first textile in human evolution. 

Botanical  names.

1.  Cannibis sativa

2. Canibis indica

3. Cannabis ruderalis

There are many subspecies of sativa and no subspecies of indica.

The ruderalis which I renamed today as the russialis or the subspcies putianous actually originated from Central Russia and slowly upgraded to indica species in North India by prehistoric Indians before Buddha's time.

It was the virtual currency of the Indian and Chinese sages and later discovered by cardinals of Vatican.

This species went to central Ametica with the Spanish  conquer. 

It is not an original species of Americas but a similar hemp plant would have eveloved independently in Americas is my belief.

So God and Cannibis  have direct parrallels, is my current view.

Illusion and delusions are very close partners. 
X-elensky is known to smoke these hemp oils in pure form and is permanently slated or elated of the outcome of the war.

Human suffering of all humans globally.

 

Blogger Pro Application

I had to send my second oldest cellphone to attic and to its original box.

It has only 3G connectivity and could not get Google Play to install blooger application.

I  removed the Hutch SIM and put it on my SamSung basic phone and downloaded blogger application and this is my first post, using it.

I have said it before never accept a used phone, even if it is set to factory setup.

When I go abroad, very rare even internally now due to Covid Restriction, I make it a point to buy a cheap cellphone and dump it, to the nearest dustbin at the last airport of call and use our local phone box to call home.

I could remember about 30 numbers by heart.

Every time I call I try to remember the number long before cellphone came into existence. 

If you lose, misplaced or  unfortunately, if it is stolen, you have a big problem. 

I leave my data phone always at home.

This safety protocol lot of guys and girls forget. 

Everyday tens of thousands of cell phones are stolen by identify thieves.

By the way, I have lost one SIM.

I gave one of my old cellphones with a Hutch data SIM to a stupid guy. 

A Muslim guy hoodwinked him and took the SIM registered under my name.

Ideas was the guy to use my SIM and learn how to use the Internet.

It is over three years and he does not know how to use the cellphone to access Internet. 

The guy put another SIM into the cellphone and I retrieved it to make a formal complaint to the police.

I am still wondering whether Ceylon Police could nail him down. 
 

Hutch after  reoeated requests failed to deactuvate the stolen SIM.

I do not recommend Hutch to any soul.
 

Putin should understand the Tactics of British, a century ago in Uva Wellassa and Hewahata

Now the Queen is dead this excerpt is to expose the British Brutality in Ceylon.

President Putin should be mindful they are the same tactics Lisz Truss and Boris Johnson taught the X-elensky.

The perpetrator is Robert Brownrigg of the British Royal Army.

The Brownrigg's method of dealing with the rebellion was to inflict maximum terror on the rebels.

Ukrainian should feel this mentality of Brownrigg's terror campaign,  in opposite direction, too.

War is never humane.

It exposes the animal nature in humans.

Drones and AI have no emotions.

Continuing on;
While praising the skills and successes of the British Ruthless Troupes of Armour, surprising the rebels of their places of concealment Brownrigg said,  "the consequent destruction of Lives and Property of the insurgents which had taken place in place of those occasions must have operated to inspire maximum terror".

This is how the war was executed in Ceylon in recent times.

It kills lots of innocent civilians.

UNO whitewashing should continue till cows come home.

Preemptive Strike on Underground Targets

 Preemptive Strike on Underground Targets

 I almost lost my battle with ants.

I have a special relationship with mosquitoes and ants.

Mosquitoes I kill with the first opportunity.

This is where President Putin made a big mistake.

Enemy, even a foot soldier should not be spared and taking them prisoner for exchange is not the way about, winning a war.

Like LTTE the opposition should fear them.

Like mosquitoes they should be killed instantaneously, whereas the civilians should be treated like ants.
 
Ants I do not kill them at all, I use them to clear all the termites that attack my 2000 odd books left out of 4000 books, I collected over 45 years, roughly 100 books a year.

One book in three days.

Ant do not eat books but is my ally.

But today, I realized if I give them room they will occupy my steel cupboard.

This steel cupboard had fish food in the bottom shelf but they decided to lay eggs on my medical equipment store, including stethoscope, audioscope and ophthalmoscope, all which are very expensive and not used for nearly 10 years.

I discovered them in the nick of time and quickly took steps to divert them to alternative place for laying eggs.

They are better scavengers than our crows.

However, they managed to lay eggs on the slide box containing spare research slides.

We have not had rain yet but they were all ready to escape from the seasonal rain.

The instinctive nature of their retrieval to domestic cushioning is amazing.

They know in advance the rain is impending.

Usually they come and lay eggs on computers and small electronic equipments.

If one disturbs them they take the eggs away but if you inadvertently switched the computer either you get an electric shock or the circuits will be damaged instantly.

I checked the computer, laptop and the NUC box but I was never prepared for an attack on my medical stuff.

I believe in previous life they would have been practicing medicine and due to their sordid practice of using so many non-essential equipments, they would have ended up, as ants but still had a penchant for expensive medical gadgets.

I was NOT practicing medicine for 20 years and any damage was inconsequential and my family members have more attachment to these equipments than me.

My attempt at disposing them sometime back was thwarted by my family members. 

By the way, the most expensive cardiac stethoscope was disposed few years ago, after I was down with myocarditis due to the vaccine, first dose induced abreaction.

The vaccine kills more people globally and in China than by the normal wild virus, especially after the fourth dose.

By belief is this virus was developed to kill President Putin and it escaped inadvertantly and now, killing normal people.

America and Ukraine got it all wrong.

 

 

KGB, FSB, CIA and Chinese Counter Intelligence

I am by birth a KGB agent and that is how my batch mates call me.

I am "Kandyan Govi Buddhist" and not a labelled Buddhist of the Rajapaksa type.

I support Putin's foreign policy but does not agree with global War as the means of solving problems.

FSB or Foreign Secret Service is so robust everything that NIA plans and Citacan promote are deciphered in advance by the FSB.

Local wars like in Ceylon we fought for 35 odd years will continue till cows come home, if not at military level but in a psychological level.

That is the human nature.

Hatred begets hatred.

What I mean is if Russia was not in existence, NIA, Catican, and MIC will dominate this world.

Only one world order if NIA.

That is the true fact, which the BBC, CNN and Fox News fail to demonstrate in as a goodwill gesture.

I am not a psychiatrist and don't proclaim any remedy except reading and dissipating Dhammapada, only in Ceylon.

Bible has been spread all over the world and Bible War of Christians and Muslims is still simmering and is a virulent global disease.

Of course Israel with Linux utility that I forget the name starting with S had penetrated Iranian nuclear facility.

Russia had Calculate Linux and China is still developing a Dream Linux.

Chinese do not have a streamlined alphabet to dominate binary system of computer which is now advancing to quantum intelligence and computing which is beyond my understanding.

AI will dominate this planet and it is a tiny Japanese Robot that will spark the devastating Third and the Final War on this planet.

UNO and WHO are impotent and coronavirus was an artificial virus developed to Kill Putin that backfired and 20 to 50 million will die, if we mitigate impending global War which Democrats in America are aspiring and promoting.

What are Republicans and Trump doing?

I hate X-elensky who is a VIA agent of American MIC (military industrial corporation of Niden administration).

Reader should correct the spelling mistakes done deliberately by me to confuse Liz Truss of UK who is an existential threat to world peace.

I only remember Tony Benn of yore, with insight into British Politics.

Now Queen is gone for good Putin and Ruble will rule and a New World Order will emerge.

China practically doing nothing but sitting by the wayside is the sole beneficiary and is a real global threat which Russia (is delegating to China) is failing to realize and  fractalixe (a new quantum terminology coined by me) in global politics.

Which do you prefer?

Death by man made virus?

Death by a supersonic missile?

Death by old age?

Suicide?

Hara Kiri?

Humans are creating the necessary environment for his own Hara Kiri.

We have no choice left.

Kick the bucket before one is 70.

All world leaders at present are, of course, by definition are old geariatrics.

The young are trapped by Facebook, Twitter and Yang Yang.

Termites and Bank and Post Office

I got a letter delivered by the post office termites eaten.

It took exactly 7:days for delivery in this blessed land of Ceylon.

There is a sinister effort by the present government to destroy post office and commence a private DHL like high cost delivery system.

God save Kings and Queens of UK who established the post office.

Save our post office from the destruction by American Hegemony.

Just post a birth day card or X'Mas card to save our post office.

The pensioners of remote corner of the country get their pension by money orders.

There is an sinister attempt to scrap pension scheme,too.

I think God Won't Save America from Russian Ruble Domination.

God cannot print dollars and printed paper and photocopies have gone up and digital money is on the horizon.

Why one should not buy a Tablet

What I say here, equally applies to  a Laptop.

It is better to spend a little more and buy a portable computer with a USB game console.

My support is for Intel NUC which I pronounce as Nuke (not Nike).

In fact, it has become my work force not for games but for my office work.

My one does not have Audio input or output that stops me playing games.

The reason is it consumes less electricity in silent mode and it is smooth and silent.

I use my son's Game PC for gaming which consumes hefty watt output but I currently have  some problems with the audio codecs for Debian Linux but not Linux Mint.

Not everybody has money to buy a Steam Deck and Dock with accessories to go with it.

I am a Linux guy hence I wholeheartedly support Valve and Steam.

I won't support Xbox at all.

It is too expensive and why one pay for an operating system which is buggy and heavy when alternative Linux devices galore with OPEN and FREE operating systems, in the open market.

Coming to Tablet, the design is not sturdy and if one accidentally drop it on the floor or spill your coffee on it one has to put it in  rice cooker (power plug disconnected) with partially boiled rice to absorb the dirt, having removed the battery.

All tablets have sealed batteries and once the battery life expires one cannot replace them.

It is ready for the junk yard.

I have a game console, two tablets one expensive the other cheap Chinese stuff gone dead and no way to activate them.

Only stuff I can reuse are the earphones which I never use.
USB 2 connectors which I have plenty, enough to hang myself on the roof.

Power plug connectors cannot be used on a different device.

Using a Tablet for calls is practically a redundant exercise.

Internet without a Ethernet connector is practically useless.

There is no Ethernet port on Tablets but NUKE has one or sometimes two Ethernet ports.

Everything about Tablet is wasted money.

One can buy two cellphones with four SIM slots.

I have not used a Tab for nearly five years and I have several cellphones to accomplish all my tasks except downloading Linux images.

I am piling up all the boxes containing consoles and tablets.

If somebody gives you an old Laptop or Tablet please flatly refuse.

It can become a pain in the Ar+-se.

Save money, effort and time by purchasing a NUC.

It is fabulous.

I have no interest in talking about the vast array of game boxes and consoles.

It is actually a personal choice.

Please do not force others to buy the game console you bought just yesterday.

Game Players in Linux and Steam OS

 This entry is made due to slow download of Steam OS point to point (P2P).

One must realize that there very good alternatives for Steam OS in Linux.

Batosera is a Linux distribution that support Steam.

But my interest is Sparky Linux game over.

I am going to download it after I finish downloading MX.21.2 64 bit iso,

Little nearly 2GB iso was downloaded in less than an hour by torrent.

P2P download of Steam OS is taking more than 6 hours and I cannot understand why Steam could support torrent file.

I think it is an advertisement gimmick which I hate.

There is hollow or holo OS substitute which I won't waste time on. Some New Linux guys and girls do not undestand how to provide customer service without payload of advertisements or direct pay.

Puppy Linux or Easy Linux Version 4.

 I forgot to mention both EasyOS and FatPup do not suypport my new NUC IBM PC Box.

But both support my old IBM computer.

Thanks to Dialog, IBM NUC Box and Linux Community. In under 10 minutes I was running Puppy on my son's old computer.

It was only 5 minute downloading and writing an image on a 16 GB stick.

No image compression now and capacity was little over 800MB after installation.

It took just 4 minutes for writing a persistent image in my old  rotating disk.

Puppy Linux was my entry to Linux and I love Dogs and Puppy Linux.

Thanks guys in Australia for reviving Easy OS.
