Truth Embargo

About Moon Landing

It is very difficult to fathom that the mankind can penetrate Van Allen Belt without a shield, which they did in 1960s!

One has to penetrate the Truth Protecting Layers of secrecy  of NASA program

Why they could not repeat the feat for another 25 years of advancement is a big unanswered question.

“All Truth passes through three stages. 

First, it is ridiculed;

Then it is violently opposed;

Finally it is accepted as self-evident.”

Arthur Schopenhauer-

“In an age of universal deceit, telling the Truth is a revolutionary act.” 

“Whoever controls the past, controls the future.”

George Orwell-

“

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: 

If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. 

We’re no longer interested in finding out the Truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. 

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

Lessons for Ceylon from President Trump’s Impeachment

Lessons for Ceylon from President Trump’s Impeachment 

I will make a strategic install for future reference for political analysis later but let me say what will happen in America (my gut feelings).

In America, there are three institutions, the Senate, The House and the Judiciary.

Currently Executive Presidency is above two of those institutions except the Judiciary.

The judiciary is independent and see what is happening to former FBI director and the whistle -blowers.

Outcome That I got WRONG!

1. Republican party will win a working majority both in Senate and House in 2020. They do not need 2/3rd majority.

2. President Trump will keep his promises to the masses who voted for him and will vote for him.

3.Democratic party will try to pull the rug under and maintain a low status quo (no quid for pro at all) to stop him in vain.

4. President Trump will sail through the obstacles in his second term much more vigorously than in his first term.

5. He will leave white house for good not leaving his children or inlaws as heir to the "Throne".

6. Mrs. Nacncy Pelosi and Mr. Joe Biden will bite the dust blown by the impeachment fiasco.

In Ceylon we have only one whistle blower with credible recordings unlike in US.

He is called Mr. Ranjan Ramanayake and he is in Prison for whistling a bit of data.

1. In Ceylon S.L.P.P might come into power well short of two third majority (thanks to RR=Raja) in parliament in 2020. 

The S.L.F.P will be on course for a natural and slow death under M.S.

Thanks to using National ID that rigging is impossible but intimidation of military style will happen in the North and the East.

2. Winning S.L.P.P. will not keep it promises after the election due to the Debt Trap of their own creation.

3. Losing U.N.P. and J.V.P. cannot pull the rug under due to military style discipline by those in power and media moguls.

4. MR won’t be able to sail through the Debt Trap.

China and India will exploit the Ceylon Predicament and own valuable assets (airports, ports and sea) and will compete with USA for strategic exploitation of our weaknesses.

The I.M.F. will look the other way due to L.T.T.E. inputs.

5. MR and his exclusive family members want to ascend to the heir and owners of the throne. 
 

5. Buddhist monks will encroach on civil liberty like in Myanmar and want to keep this family on the throne and all other religions will have to be subservient (no freedom for worship, no freedom to speak, and no ability to escape from poverty). 
But these monks will become fat both in size and political pull.
The bottom line scenario is for the average voter to be so poor with only hand to mouth existence, so that the rich can acquire more merits by giving them crumbs and leftovers after they place this family on the throne for ever.

Prosperity for a limited few and absolute poverty for the rest.

Now my "Strategic Install" or input for budding politicians!

1. Form a coalition for abolishing the Post of Presidency and sending all culprits of Auditor General report to prison just like they sent R.R. to prison for listening to private data.

Getting the 50% is chicken feed; the disadvantages and lack of checks and balances of the constitution (unlike in America) has been evaluated in detail for over 20 years.

Judiciary is not (R.Rs assertion) independent but thorn (not a jewel) in the flesh of democracy (according to Victor Ivan only the Podians (4% of the total convictions go to prison) go to the jail and Bond Scams and Auditor General’s independent report will gather dust.

This happens, the moment the parliament is dissolved.

I believe L.T.T.E came into existence due to J.R.J’s stupid constitution.

2. We do not need 2/3rd majority now that the L.T.T.E and J.V.P. are no more a threat.

3. Only threat is going back to J.R.J’s constitution or making a much more worse constitution to please Buddhist Monks and installing a new king with Dasa Raja Dhamma (failed J.R.J exercise).

I do not know where Victor Ivan stands politically on these issues, now.

9. Python  3.3  Accessible through Terminal under Utilities

 

10. Ruby  1.8.7  Accessible through Terminal under Utilities

 

Items 6 to 10  are programming languages (now mostly platform independent) which made the backbone of  Linux.

American Brain Waves

American Brain Waves

I have chosen the above title to show how we follow the American Hegemony.
The Current need is alternative Energy Sources! 
We are not investing on Solar Power.
Why I do not know?

Below are two my old pieces reproduced.
They are in a private domain and not visible in public domain.

Human Destiny 

It looks likes human needs take paramount importance. 
The needs of other living beings on this planet is no concern.
Human needs are not measured by bare existence but by uncontrolled desire, greed and exploitation of the very environment he lives in.

He is not very responsible but very erratic in behaviour.
He explores and expands both in numbers and the spheres of influence.
 
When the going is good he expands and when the going is bad he perseveres at the expense of all other beings.

Human is the only species known to eats its own beings and all the other edible beings.

He does not spare anything that this earth can offer,
 
When the going is good it is Lancashire hotpot with lamb but when the going is bad it is only potato hotpot.

His culinary desires which includes cannibalism speaks of his destructive nature.

How can we say he is a rational being?

Only rationality is his own existence at the expense of sometimes his own fellow beings.

Rat race and nothing but rat race.

That is the virtue of all powerful capitalism, power and wealth.

There is something wrong in this simple equation.

Expand, exploit and try to gain control at every advantage point.

He does not learn lessons from the past,
 
40 years ago in 1973, when oil price hike followed after the Middle est conflict he was ill prepared.

I saw what that meant for our children.

Thousands and thousand of children died of starvation and illness.

We are not ready for its repetition.

This time it is the global warming which is going to precipitate it.

40 years ago it was oil and energy and thereafter the food crisis.

When there is scarcity we tend to invest more on the same resource instead of changing to alternative resources.

In fact after the last oil crisis we had being using oil at a rate far more energetic than before.

We were not ready for the global warming.

In fact we did all to precipitate it.

Then there will be a Youth Bubble.
 
The rich dictators were not receptive to the needs of the poor while piling up money for their own fantasies.

How can we say man is rational.

His greed dictates the front line.
The ones who are behind the line or sitting on the bench have no say.

Unfortunately this equation is going to change.

Be prepared the human, the stupid exploiter.
 
Forest Harvesting
I was bit inquisitive why there are so many tornadoes and hurricanes in America.

I just went to Google Earth and had a little peep from above of North America’s, the West and the East.

There is hardly any difference in tree cover over the land, East or West.

Mostly farmland and build up areas.

That did not give me any clue to the state of the forest cover.

Then I went and searched deforestation.

Americans harvested 90% of the land in 70 years from 1850 to 1920.
Entire East was covered with Forest and fair proportion of the West was covered with primary forest. 
The deforestation continued to this century and America now has mainly secondary forest covering 10% of the land.
American knew that the CO2 problem started around 1920 and continues even today due to their exploitation of fossil fuel.

Did they tell the truth to the world?

Big No.

In Sri-Lanka we had 90% forest cover until around 1850 and British started deforestation for coffee and tea cultivation. 

By the time they left in 1948 forest cover was over 60% but before they left they pass a law prohibiting encroachment of the Crown Land.

From 1948 to 2000 we have decimated another 40 percent especially after 1970.

We are now below the minimal threshold of 25% to maintain our rivers.

This land now can be called the People’s Land instead of the Crown Land and the tree felling and the development go on.

When the thermal power plant is operational we will be approaching 10% level which is the cut off point for desert classification.

Acid rain will do the rest even we stop cutting to Zero.

Then we can say we are better than America in case of deforestation and go for an IMF loan.

Very soon we will be no different from Dubai.

Regards to American tornadoes and hurricanes trees act as a wind breaks and control the water cycle better. 
They should reforest America back to 1920 or continue to have this cycle every year.

Problem is there is no country rich American can go to avoid hurricanes since rest of the world is no better including China.

This is what I call the development of the Earth Crisis.

The prediction that world ends in 2012 should be rephrased that "The irreversible loss of biodiversity is in full swing from now onward with the global warming well established and irreversible."

We Sri-Lanksn will be drilling oil with Indian help till sun goes down.

This reproduction is for me to keep track of the forerunner of Impeachment of President Donald Trump!

He stands tall now for his forbearance, that he may have learned not in politics BUT in business!

Reproduction 

In its initial 2016 FISA warrant application, the FBI flatly called Page "an agent of a foreign power." 

Sources told Fox News last month that U.S. Attorney John Durham's separate, ongoing probe into potential FBI and Justice Department misconduct in the run-up to the 2016 election through the spring of 2017 has transitioned into a full-fledged criminal investigation -- and that Horowitz's report will shed light on why Durham's probe has become a criminal inquiry.

FBI AGENTS MANIPULATED FLYNN FILE, AS CLAPPER ORDERED 'KILL SHOT,' FILING SAYS
Durham has reportedly taken up Horowitz's findings concerning the falsified FISA document, meaning the ex-FBI lawyer who made the changes is now under criminal investigation. The Post indicated, however, that the document was not central to the legality of the FISA warrant obtained against Page.
Republicans have long argued that the FBI's alleged FISA abuses, which came as the bureau aggressively pursued ultimately unsubstantiated claims of criminal links between the Trump team and Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign, were politically motivated. 
In recent months, a series of unearthed documents has strengthened those claims.
Just nine days before the FBI applied for its first FISA warrant to surveil Page, bureau officials were battling with a senior Justice Department official who had "continued concerns" about the "possible bias" of a source pivotal to the application, according to internal text messages previously obtained by Fox News.

FBI email chain may provide most damning evidence of FISA abuses yet

By John Solomon Opinion Contributor
Just before Thanksgiving, House Republicans amended the list of documents they’d like President Trump to declassify in the Russia investigation. With little fanfare or explanation, the lawmakers, led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), added a string of emails between the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to their wish list.
Sources tell me the targeted documents may provide the most damning evidence to date of potential abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), evidence that has been kept from the majority of members of Congress for more than two years.
The email exchanges included then-FBI Director James Comey, key FBI investigators in the Russia probe and lawyers in the DOJ’s national security division, and they occurred in early to mid-October, before the FBI successfully secured a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The email exchanges show the FBI was aware — before it secured the now-infamous warrant — that there were intelligence community concerns about the reliability of the main evidence used to support it: the Christopher Steele dossier.
The exchanges also indicate FBI officials were aware that Steele, the former MI6 British intelligence operative then working as a confidential human source for the bureau, had contacts with news media reporters before the FISA warrant was secured.
The FBI fired Steele on Nov. 1, 2016 — two weeks after securing the warrant — on the grounds that he had unauthorized contacts with the news media.
But the FBI withheld from the American public and Congress, until months later, that Steele had been paid to find his dirt on Trump by a firm doing political opposition research for the Democratic Party and for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and that Steele himself harbored hatred for Trump.
If the FBI knew of his media contacts and the concerns about the reliability of his dossier before seeking the warrant, it would constitute a serious breach of FISA regulations and the trust that the FISA court places in the FBI.
That’s because the FBI has an obligation to certify to the court before it approves FISA warrants that its evidence is verified, and to alert the judges to any flaws in its evidence or information that suggest the target might be innocent.
We now know the FBI used an article from Yahoo News as independent corroboration for the Steele dossier when, in fact, Steele had talked to the news outlet.
If the FBI knew Steele had that media contact before it submitted the article, it likely would be guilty of circular intelligence reporting, a forbidden tactic in which two pieces of evidence are portrayed as independent corroboration when, in fact, they originated from the same source.
These issues are why the FBI email chain, kept from most members of Congress for the past two years, suddenly landed on the declassification list.
The addition to the list also comes at a sensitive time, as House Republicans prepare on Friday to question Comey, who signed off on the FISA warrant while remaining an outlier in the intelligence community about the Steele dossier.
Most intelligence officials, such as former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, have embraced the concerns laid out in the Steele dossier of possible — but still unproven — collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Yet, 10 months after the probe started and a month after Robert Mueller was named special counsel in the Russia probe, Comey cast doubt on the the Steele dossier, calling it “unverified” and “salacious” in sworn testimony before Congress.
Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page further corroborated Comey’s concerns in recent testimony before House lawmakers, revealing that the FBI had not corroborated the collusion charges by May 2017, despite nine months of exhaustive counterintelligence investigation.
Lawmakers now want to question Comey about whether the information in the October email string contributed to the former FBI director’s assessment.
The question long has lingered about when the doubts inside the FBI first surfaced about the allegations in the Steele dossier.
Sources tell me the email chain provides the most direct evidence that the bureau, and possibly the DOJ, had reasons to doubt the Steele dossier before the FISA warrant was secured.
Sources say the specifics of the email chain remain classified, but its general sentiments about the Steele dossier and the media contacts have been discussed in nonclassified settings.
“If these documents are released, the American public will have clear and convincing evidence to see the FISA warrant that escalated the Russia probe just before Election Day was flawed and the judges [were] misled,” one knowledgeable source told me.
Congressional investigators also have growing evidence that some evidence inserted into the fourth and final application for the FISA — a document signed by current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — was suspect.
Nunes hinted as much himself in comments he made on Sean Hannity’s Fox News TV show on Nov. 20, when he disclosed the FBI email string was added to the declassification request. The release of the documents will “give finality to everyone who wants to know what their government did to a political campaign” and verify that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia during the election, Nunes said.
As more of the secret evidence used to justify the Russia probe becomes public, an increasingly dark portrait of the FBI’s conduct emerges.
The bureau, under a Democratic-controlled Justice Department, sought a warrant to spy on the duly nominated GOP candidate for president in the final weeks of the 2016 election, based on evidence that was generated under a contract paid by his political opponent.
That evidence, the Steele dossier, was not fully vetted by the bureau and was deemed unverified months after the warrant was issued.
At least one news article was used in the FISA warrant to bolster the dossier as independent corroboration when, it fact, it was traced to a news organization that had been in contact with Steele, creating a high likelihood it was circular intelligence reporting.
And the entire warrant, the FBI’s own document shows, was being rushed to approval by two agents who hated Trump and stated in their own texts that they wanted to “stop” the Republican from becoming president.
If ever there were grounds to investigate the investigators, these facts provide the justification.
Director Comey and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein likely hold the answers, as do the still-classified documents.
It’s time all three be put under a public microscope.

Memory Usage of Desktops

Memory Usage of Desktops

I haven't got a clue about their memory usage.

Enlightenment little over 400MB

Cinnamon with all its utilities about 1.2GB but one can get the basic desktop with 250MB,

Gnome I have no idea since it comes with other utilities with minimum of  7GB. 

It probably tops over at least 1 (one) GB out of this 7GB.

KDE is at least 2GB but light weigh plasma takes 250 in Reborn OS.

Cosmic Desktop I would have guessed about 1.5GB but it is taking only 275MB.

I did not try any on Ubuntu which are fast depreciating.

BlendOS

 OS Type Linux

blendOS is an Arch Linux-based, rolling-release distribution which automates installing software from supported distributions (Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu) into containers. blendOS tries to make software management in across containers feel native and provides access to the user's home directory for each container.     

RebornOS

 Reborn OS

Reborn OS is pretty Good.

It has many good features. I am currently Installing Reborn Os on top of CarchyOS which is also based on ARCH but minimal. This is the penultimate stage of testing ARCH based distributions which were all based on KDE (Endeavour OS, BlueStar Linux OS which I have already installed in my System) but this one I chose because it is Gnome based. I decided, I would promote only Gnome Desktop, in future due to many reasons. On second thought. I am promoting both KDE Plasma and Gnome then, only one can see the difference.

Gnome of Debian is my workhorse.

Its installation is fast. Graphical instructions are intuitive and I had the choice of selecting Abiword, OpenOffice, LibreOffice and there was another word processor I did not know anything about. Well, I went for my favourite AbiWord. One can install it either offline or online. Online takes a little longer and one can chose one of about 10 desktops at install. I prefer online install. By the way, little while ago I installed Gnome minus LibreOffice and most of the languages and also Firefox. It saved 2GB and the Grand Total was just over 7GB for basic install. It had all my utilities I need in a basic install and it went up to 8GB on full install and I have 11GB left, in my root partition of 19GB, for any additional packages I might Install.

RebornOS is a desktop oriented Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. Although the RebornOS live image provides Xfce desktop, the installation process offers a choice to install one of the many popular desktop environments and window managers. Other interesting features of the distribution include support for Flatpak packages, optional installation of Anbox for running Android applications, a capability to rollback the system to a previous date, and graphical system configuration and maintenance tools.

Installing Debain 12.9.0 Edition

Enlightenment Desktop took little over 400MB of space. I have used only 8GB of space with several terminal including Terminator and Tilda.

If One removes LibreOffice, one can install all the utilities one need with 7.5GB to most 7.7GB all the applications.

This 20GB minimum is an illusion of some sort brought on by Linux users who have descended down from Microsoft Loyal Base.

Do not listen to them but enjoy Linux.

My installation is over.I am going for Easter Bunny Egg which I used to enjoy in early 1980s in United Kingdom.

United Kingdom was peaceful place then.

I did not like the Coffee they dissed out in the train stations, then and the announcement made by Jamaican Guards in the Melbourne station.

The railways ran exactly on time and only day I had to wait in the station for 2 hours was when they announced that there were major repairs on the tracks and railways would run late on some tracks.

They did not stop train services altogether like in Ceylon run by Indian Guys.

I want to make a little observation.

I think Israelis (use stuck to spy on Iranians), Italians, Polish and Japanese spy on you by using tiny play utilities on your Gnome.

Now i think even Chines use Mahjongg to for the same purpose.

Debian collects the user habits and contributes to Linux kernel in different countries may be looking at the statistics of your user data.

Having a backdoor to your PC is is easy and I found that Variety Wall Paper utility does that  do not use it at all.

Unlike good old days now it is a paranoid world.

First think I do is to remove them

Then remove all the other languages in Firefox

Last of all I remove LibreOffice which is the biggest backdoor with lot of Macros, just like Microsoft Office pack.

I am not paranoid but my NUC computer belong to me not to Intel, just like Microsoft own YOUR computer. apart from opening a backdoor to the CIA.

I want to have my computer running fast and smooth and not waste resources that run on the background like cron jobs and heat up the CPU if not RAM.  

I am very technical upon this issue.

I have removes all the muck and saved 2GB of space already.

This is why, Russian have their own Linux distributions. They are much clever and I advice you to not use beautiful DeeIn Desktop from China.

 

Debian 12.9.0. Edition

Debian 12.9.0. Edition has 62 applications.

One can install using Calamara Installer which takes about 25 minutes.

Old Graphic installer does it in about 20 minutes but takes a long time to remove the Live Image. In my case it takes a long time to read and update my GRUB Boot record. While installation is on one cannot browse the web whereas on Live Calamara Installation, one can browse the Web an give a current state of the installation, in other words a running commentary.

It is allover and the default browser is Firefox, which is my workhorse, in addition to Falkon, Dillo and Epiphany browser and Epipany game.

Stacer, USB utilities and Gaparted are my favourite utilities which I should run, now.

Synaptic Package Manager is my package installer by default.

Debian does not have Gparted as a Partitioning Tool.

How to forward a dead man’s (women excluded) email

Posted on January 9, 2011

How to forward a dead man’s (women excluded) email
Internet is a bustling with activity and it has spawned new avenues for recreation. 

I have been specially appointed from both Apaya and Devlova (Heaven) to coordinate activities and I have been asked to formulate a formula to prevent Apaya MySQL Web Server getting jammed.

As an initial remedy I have instructed them to have New server for Sri-Lanakns (Ideally RAIDS for our politicians who break their election promises) but Apaya does not want to vandalize limited resources on Sri-lanka and that is why they need a special formula.

Since I am in regular contact with Sackra’s Assistant (only by email) which I have from the time of the registration of Hela Urumaya (should be named as Hela Karumaya) as a political party (that appointment was to give a resume of all Hela Urumaya voters who gets a call of nature through Devalayas they visit -Hindu Temples-  before their demise).

Sakcra himself handles the party stalwarts and he does not believe their own well cooked up resumes leave alone any comments that I have made about them in web publications. 

Unlike Apaya. 

They have enough memory in all the servers with my good offices I have made an arrangement to provide a server on IMF loan facility to Hell which can be paid back while in hell to Apaya accounts.

You may wonder how I got the appointment. 

 

On merit and that is due to my intense interest in Linux and the number of publication in the web on Linux by any Sri-Lankan.

They have just typed asoka and linux and lately asokaplus and got hold of my web counting. 

Then they have looked at the impact it made in Sri-Lanka which was almost zero and connected me by wireless communication to ask why this discrepancy.

I promptly said I publish only in English to which they said why don’t you make an attempt to improve your English. 

 

I said Sir I am doing it right now by writing and that is the reason for me posting in the web.

They were quite happy and impressed with my answers but said your extensions will be based on your daily writings and that is why 

 

I have to post at least one a day at www.wordpress.com

When I was at www.writeclique.com it was once in three days and at Google once in 2 to 3 days and now once a day like a poor National News Paper Editors.

I am told by the Web Administrator of the Apaya (Hell in English) a new super powered Server to handle the demand from Sri-Lankans was installed, this year (immigrants specially from Colombo 7, Hela Urumaya Type who sell electricity for an exorbitant price -they have a special sub-system for Hela Urumaya).

Nobody can contact the President and the Head of Apayas since he is 24 hour on call and cannot sleep.

He was elected recently unanimously without a contest and he can go for re-election at lib.

His crime was sleeping while on call duty at President’s Office and giving false promises to the visitors and giving false statements to a judicial inquiry (perjury not punished here).

You may wonder what is the difference between becoming head of Apaya or Devlova.

Sackra has four hours of sleep and he can delegate some of activities to the assistant and the assistant can delegate it to me. 

It looks as if one becomes a President of this country he can easily take up a position in Apaya since there are no delegated activities now in Apaya and the super-computers have taken over mankind (beings-kind- a new word coined by me for Apaya use) there.

My duty is easy to forward dead man’s emails either to Apaya or Devlova or safe house in between for scrutiny. 

 

By doing that all email holding companies will benefit by releasing their precious space for new comers.
 

I am currently doing the test run on the formula I have developed on Senior Ministers’ profiles (I am duty bound not to disclose test runs to the person while they are alive) on my computer and it got stuck due to overload and I may have to update the RAM and CPU speed with many cores.

Unfortunately, I am not paid any allowances even though I requested 10% on testing and another 50% on running.

If you have any suggestion please forward it to me without any delay so that I can include them on the revised version. 

I have decided not to make the formula public since the Central Bank of Ceylon (Now SIRI LANKA) and IMF would get bright ideas to change roles and divest their energies in Apaya Investment Limited (newly formed company by me)

Mind you there is a vacancy for,

How to forward a dead woman’s email post?

 

Any man or woman can apply by passing me.

Details are at Apaya Investment Limited Website if it is in operation without any untoward attack by Sri-Lankan Government.

Mind you I did not tell the Apaya Web Admin that there is cloud computing on the offing thinking that they might reserve space on cloud farms for future use and we might not have anything left for poor souls like me.

Old Age and Survival Beyond

Posted on November 23, 2010

Old Age and Survival Beyond
In Buddhist history one of the signs Buddha saw in his outing outside the Royal Castle was an ambling old man.
It is certain that now all of us will live up to old age (with one proviso which I will enlarge open later), now that the war is over and it will probably never surface again (but another war will emerge to replace it and it is showing all the evidence all over the world) for a decade or so.
 

Another sign Buddha saw was debilitating sickness (no age difference).

Unfortunately in old age sickness is common accompaniment and many of us have no coverage for sickness while working or in old age. 

(The other two signs are not for worldly gains but for visions beyond worldly dreams and it is inappropriate and contextually not relevant here).

It is true that we have free medical services but the delivery system has major imbalances but geared to emergency service (O.P.D) and supportive.
Services are not proactive and health education (preventative) is of low priority.

For example cost of renal transplantation and open heart surgery are prohibitive.

What is important is that the quality life falls below what was maintained drastically in old age and especially when one is a pensioner.

I cannot see any country that does not discriminate due to age, be it is childhood, young or old age.

It is enshrined in U.N.O. protocol that there should not be any discrimination due to age, sex. race or (and many other elements) religion.

But in practice NO country enforces these principles that are written in black and white on paper.

This is the sad part of the story and only a few can prolong the life while maintaining the standards they enjoyed as young.

That is the reality of life and there is always some discrimination especially when old and very young.

Now I should say what happened in U.K. three decades ago with Mrs. Thather (she was in for power for three terms) in full swing.

She embraced the American Policy and Dream and propagated that every one can become very rich provided one works hard.

She systematically destroyed collective responsibility by destroying the miner’s strike and introducing various reforms including in Education and Health.

She changed the universal right to protect life (It is the Government’s Responsibility) and in good quality too.

She pruned the Health Service and introduced the Private Pension Scheme (which was more attractive than the basic government pension).

Now 30 years later who were attracted by the economic boom and the eventually bust in 2009, are living in absolute poverty (in European terms) and government have no funds to support them and they are increasing the pensionable age to 67 and more years.

I was one who believed I should work as long as possible not at the same pace as young but moderate and steady pace (not many think like me though) since not doing any work is anathema to me (having worked all my life without any consideration for day or night).

But like in cricket (except intellectual activity) one has to throw the towel like Flintoff (classic example of Burnt Out Syndrome -like the hard working miners of Sheffield of yesteryear) when one is not able to perform (intellectual capacity falls dramatically from the age of 30 years and at much faster rate after 60 unfortunately but the Ego and hanging to life increases at an amazingly fast rate but inversely proportionate to former).

This is where I feel is it worth doing a bypass and prolong the life for another 5 or 10 years and living a quality of life hand to mouth in old age and be a burden to self and to the immediate family.
 

This is the choice one has to make but I have seen very few of individuals that are prepared to face life bravely and without much attachment to name and self.

There was a saying what I heard but never believed (this is the belief inculcated in politicians irrespective of the party of origin- G.O.P or not) in childhood.

Mind you this not a Buddhist saying (statement) but words are in Pali.

Jivitham Annitham (Maranam-jiratham) sa Nama Goththam Nijirathie.

Life is impermanent but name and creed will last.

The first part of the statement is philosophically true and hence the second part cannot be true.

So some time ago as a kid I changed it to

Jivitham Annitham (Maranam-Jiratham) sa Nama Goththam Jirathie.

That is the only Buddhist Concept I learned by myself and follow it to this day.

I am very insignificant in numbers game if I compare myself to the millions of life forms on this planet.

All life forms love their life but how many bacteria I killed and how many mosquitoes I killed cannot be estimated in numbers.

Fortunately I cannot kill viruses including AIDS Virus.

I have a theory that viruses are essential to evolution on this planet including AIDS Virus and H1A1 and ultimately viruses will determine the final outcome of the human race (man had been developing biological agents for warfare) and the planet earth will produce one virulent virus to eliminate humans species one day.
Coronavirus was man made and there were biological laboratories in Ukraine to kill Russians, especially President Putin.
 

If we are so selfish like what we are today and rest of all the humans who inhabit this planet I do not think that the 3rd or 4th generation of mankind SURVIVING.

I THINK OF MY SURVIVAL ONLY.

IS IT REASONABLE?

Doom and Gloom, that is if we do not control the expansion of human race and protect the extinction of resources that man needs for his survival including quality of drinking water.

The same principle applies to me too in my old age.

In old age, I do not need a bypass or or kidney from another. 

 

This is what I believe for myself but can I convince anther soul to this conviction?

I do not think so!

I had been an enough contributor to dwindling resources and saying good bye to this planet should not be an offense but should be dear commitment!

We are too consumerist like all Americans, Indians and Chinese!

Africans are also following suit where the human race believed to have originated for the first time.

Our selfishness will lead us to our extinction one day!

That is the universal truth!

Just do a Value added Estimation on who owns these TV channels and the truth would emerge.

LTTE and Drug Money are used Liberally.

Black money is converted to White or Legal money.

It happens right under our noses.

This is Long Term Project.

Do not get caught or pay to advertise on these channels.

A fomer Chief Justice and Chandrika are all accessarues on this project.

There is a political movement underpinning.

Current PM was part of the project scheme. 

Now the project is well underway and she is silent.

Even the Sinhala Tamil New Year celebrations were scuttled by the Government and Media.

Ranjan Ramanayake was the Top Link and number of Police

Pillayan and Gamman Pillyeyan are also part of the grand scheme.

Tamil Hindus and Sinhala Buddhist never had conflicts.

If you go to a Kovil or a Temple is a living example.

Now the modern Tamils whi have money wants to go to India and Ganges and get purified of all bad deeds.

Hindus also going through similar onslaught on their religious beliefs and specially the Gods there Revere.

"Catholic Action" is "On Steroids" now.

Ubuntu is now in Real Panic Mode-Why?

Ubuntu is now in Real Panic Mode-Why?

I know why?

Going for RUSH will kill it.

That is my prediction.

Do not go for Ubuntu bandvagon which ius EMPTY if one take "Free Software" from Richard Stallman.

Is Ubuntu trying to reinvest the Wheel?

I do not think so.

It was based on Debian Gnome and moment one dissociate with Gnome the repositories are gone.

Current version has nothing from Ubuntu.

It has Firefox (FireFox has three versions now and I have them in MX Linux installed) which is free software and not belonging to Ubuntu.

It has Thunderbird that Genome Email client.

It has GIMP again from Gnome.

LibreOffice is one that I despise and I would remove it soon after installation of Gnome and go for AbiWord, instead.

Ubuntu does not support Synaptic Package Manager and many has gone for sand-boxed SNAP packages developed by various entities without proper supervision.

Ubuntu will blame them and shy away from responsibility.

In fact, I can produce a better distribution myself but I have no commercial intention to do so, except for promoting Linux until it passes 10% Desktop penetration which will come soon. long before I kick the bucket.

Ubuntu's contribution for this 10% is going to be minimal.

Ubuntu does not have even a Desktop of its own to boast about let alone the distribution right.

RUST is their death knell and I do not go for fancy efficiency and performance buzz-words which are market hype with no value added.

I am glad I never used Ubuntu as the daily driver but only a testing environment.

On the plus side Ubuntu was the only distribution other than Emmabantus which could configure emerging WiFi Saga.

Even Endavour OS can do it now but Endeavour OS is minimal and has lot of problems due to their minimalism

If you really want a functioning Light weight distribution try ARCH base CatchyOS which is 1000 better than glossy but featureless Ubuntu.

My5  distributions of Choice are

Only Gnome based not with KDE

1. Debian Gnome

2. BluStarLinux (KDE but I have converted it to Gnome and Cosmic)

3. Cachy OS

4. MX Linux but I have modified it highly

5. Perhaps Manjaro but its current partition tool has problems.

My be Calamara but short in applications.

Others

1. If you want hassle free distribution try Retrunner which comes from Germany

2. Emmaabtus, (lot of utilities). if you want only a single Linux distribution which cannot cohabit with other Linux distributions buy their is a way round it.

3. Linux Mint has problem with GRUB file and has proprietary software codecs.

4. Elive but need to pay subscription

5. Pardus

6. Garuda

Zorin, Tuxedos, Suse and Fedora I have no respect at all except their use, perhaps for some Lunatic Linux Gamers.

Steam of Valve have overtaken them by many a mile.

I have a big grudge with Valve, they said they will release a Desktop ISO but they never kept to that promise.

Those American always cheat their customers base by default. 

That opinion about Americans came to me long before Valve and Steam. 

They cheated Ukrainians and Ukrainians do not have a country left.

They (Zelensky and his Bandera Clan) have sold their land (country) to American mineral exploiters.

What a turnaround in World and Linux Politics?

 

Minimum to Maximum Usage of Computers and Their Utilities

Minimum to Maximum Usage of Computers and Their Utilities

I am a scientific guy.

From cutting nails to preparing a cup of tea to a editing a Scientific Text, I do it with complete concentration.

To this I have added Total Quality Management (T.Q.M)

Let me start with Puppy Linux.

It has 11 processes.

1. File Managing

2. Terminal Editing and Emulation

3. Process Viewing

4. Default Browsing

5. Default Text Editing

6. Default Painting for Kids

7. Default Word Processing

8. Setting Up Puppy Desktop

9. Tray for Placing (Editing) Applications

10. Help when things go wrong

11. Finally Exiting once the job is done.

Any addition to this rigmarole is clunky.

The best example is modern cellphone which has many distracting applications which are counterproductive.

When I have an important session for undergraduate students, first thing I do is to collect all the cellphones (for example before an examination commences).

Cellphone was the most Destructive Force man has invented and without it man progressed at an easy pace. Now when somebody has Verbal Diarrhoea one resorts to insane messaging about a war in the past or present without giving due regard to collateral damage by both sides. 

But the if the messages is factual it is are either exaggerated or an event in the past presented presented as happening now. 

So the scenario of "Faked News" rule the world.

Teaching undergraduate students was the most boring thing I did in my medical career but doing some work after retirement with the NUC in front of me and say editing a scientific text using AbiWord needs total concentration.

Blog piece does not need any concentration but letting the frustration and steam out is the objective. 

It is somewhat analogous to Video Games.

In an illusion not reality of life per say.

In my case when I get an important idea, say from one of my dreams and I jot it down first on a piece of paper if woken up to begin with and later make a blog piece without any edition.

Editing is done long after the Original Idea.

Followings are all Linux Derivatives which  are Free Software and there are ton of  commercial variations and derivatives.

There are over 30 varieties.

1. Evolution is the personal Information Manager

2. Thunderbird is the Email Client

3. Dillo, Falkon. Epiphany and Firefox free software

Opera, Brave, Vivaldi are commercial

Palemoon and Pokemon themes web browsers were my old time utilities

4. LibreOffice and OpenOffice were office suites

5. Gimp is a fantastic Image editor my favorite.

6. Audacity is my favorite Audio player

7. VLC is my favorite Media player

8. Audio Editer

9. Video Edotres

10. Inkscape is a Vector graphic editor

11. Scribus is a desktop publisher

12. Blender is a 3 D Modelling utility

Kodi, OBS, Kdenlive are streaming and recording software

14. Box is virtualization software

Oracle is a commercial virtualization software

15. Pidgin is an instant messaging Clinet

One can what a lot one is missing oif one is not using Linux and they all are free unlike Oracle (came form Redhat to begin with) 

Oracle Linux is a free, open-source Linux distribution developed and supported by Oracle, designed for enterprise-level workloads and Oracle applications. It's a derivative of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), sharing application binary compatibility but branded and supported by Oracle.

16. bit torrent cklints like transmission, deluge and qbit torrent

17 IRC chat like hexchat

18. Voice chat like Muble

19. Password Managers and keyrings which is a simple paranoia.

20. VPN client like OPEN VPN

21. Stacer one of the best System Optimizer and Maintenance utility

22. Htop a System monitor

23. Tilex, Tilda, Terminator, Yakuake which are Termibal emulators and ONLY one is enough to keep track of system health and system mangement

24. Guake a drop down terminal

25. Window Managers

26. Desktop Types

27. System cleaners like bleach-bit and sweeper

28. Partition editor which is very important

29. CD/DVD reader and writer

30. Conkey

31. Cairo Deck

 

31. REDSHIFT

32. pACKAGE MANGES LIKE sYNAPATIC PACKAGE MANBNDGER AND snap SOFT

 

EndevourOS Update

Endeavour OS Update

Do Not try this distribution if YOU are a nervy Guy or Girl.

It sucks.

I am currently installing EndeavourOS on top of Netrunner.

Sorry Netrunner when my  partition table got stuck with Manjaro, YOU rescued my GRUB Boot Loader.

The ultimate reason was due to two reasons.

I decided to support all the ARCH derivatives which are user friendly.

The second reason is I have decided to ditch all KDE Desktops which look beautiful but takes over space and RAM, boot slow and do not add to my functionality.

Both BlueStarOS and EndeavourOS are promoted with KDE Desktop but when on installs EndavourOS one gets the option to select 9 desktops or even without desktop with Cli to work with.

NeoMercury takes me to my Astonmy interest to.

Yes, Sky is not the limit for me.

Its installation is brisk.

There has graphical instructions all the way.

It does not configure GRUB and if it fails again I have a way about to get the GRUB recovered. 

THANK YOU to all ARCH guys and girls and their supporters. 

Well, I posted this while installing but with Netruuner and cannot give running commentary, and that is another reason for ditching it. 

I have tried Cosmic Desktop, too and it is sleek but Tuxedo Desktop is not freely available. 

No intention of trying it, at all.

Installation is over, I need to add some applications. 

By the way, CatchyOS I installed is minimal but fantastic.
