We haven't got a program to get our diaspora back to Ceylon

We haven't got a program to get our own diaspora back to Ceylon

Nobody had answered this question in real time and in depth.

Plausible reasons given are not evaluated with in depth analysis.
 
At least not even survey done. 
Then only we can close if there are any gaps with one short term and another long term plan. Depending on India is misdirected plan whoever who has proposed it. 
The diaspora especially the Tamils cannot repeat the old theme and there is no intuition. 
90% of them, I believe are Tamils. I
 do not think there is a lot of Sinhala guys and girls due to our wrong Swabhasa teaching.

Ranil has not done this.
Sajith has not done it.
Mahinda did not do it and his sons have not done it.
Anura and Haruni have not done it.
Nirmal Ranjith has not done it.
 
These YouTube guys the Patreon Suckers have not done it.
 
Even Colombo University has not done it.
Our lawyer have not done it.
 
My own investigation is if anyone came to me for reference or any help before going abroad I had some leading questions.
 
I just want to know why, they leave.
 
They always lie and that is always guaranteed and that include doctors.

Now come to scientific analysis;

Out of our 24 millions around 2 millions are resident outside Ceylon.
 
Most of them have used our Free Education and moment they satisfy the requirements for foreign jobs that can be obtained here in Ceylon they leave never to return or stay out, in worst case scenario as refugees and belittling their own mother country of their origin for their own gain. 
 
They talk to their own conscience if not public in private meditative mode.
 
That is if they want us to recover.

Leaving it to politicians only is a disaster.

These people majority except dependents are technically qualified using our own resources have moved up the ladder.
 
I have many examples from our own Faculty.
 
I am sad to say Tamils Diaspora used these resources liberally and still using them. 

It is simply hypocrisy.

Their Code is Discrimination on racial grounds. 
This is not true even in government service and at least in teaching profession.

Mostly damn lies.

The rest who are not successful in this ploy take up politics, again for personnel gain.

Top level and administration including parliamentary services and it's secretary are different kettle of "fish". 
 
They get there by hook or crook and stick there leaving no opportunity for the rest.

This is no way to discredit service personnel / people especially in the Army, Navy and Air Force.
 
There are still a few dedicated  public servants and they are also sidelined by crooks.

I could not get a reserve post in services   (I tried only air force) well before ethnic conflict.

I went abroad once for education and came back before the bond period was over and then long time after leaving government service for definite reason and came back again and joined the University.
 
This was made easy by most in the University have left and having a lot of vacant posts.
 
I made it a point to blacklist all who have not kept their bong agreements fulfilled.

I was the only one out of three who came back in my batch after academic leave of four years.

Others remained and pretend to be more patriotic when they come to Ceylon (to avoid harsh winter towards the latter part of their own career.

Nalinda De Silva even after his death in Americas is a classic case of duplicity.

No different to Indians.

We becoming bankrupt and NPP/JVP coming to power is no surprise at all 

But they have only rhetoric.
No proper plan of action.
They only knew how to grab power.
At least in power they should recognize they lack skills and capacity. 
 
This is why India used them and still using them.

They did not have the wisdom to fathom they are being used.
That is their biggest failure on their part.
High time they grasp this reality.
Now they have to learn on the job.
It is no shame at all.

Nirmal on his part who was an ardent supporter should educate them on the job instead of looking for loop holes.
 
If they are head strong then they will cut their own grave.

Saying they are going to be in power for good is misleading even their own carder.

Very soon thy rug will be pulled out and they will be out of power with lost opportunity.
It won't come back to power again.
The electorate is impatient and that is the very nature of the reality. 
 
Undercurrents are already building up and local election will show how impatient the suffering masses are.

They would not believe in two years time things would be better.
At least they could do things that are plausible. 
 
One point I raised in the YouTube was to take action to stop ragging spearheaded by Peratugamins.

They have to prove their mettle now and before it is less than three years in power.

Politics is a volatile game.

I can voice this since I am out of the country. 
 
If I remained I dare not raise any opposition. 
 
Fear against those who in power is staple current in Ceylon.

Resident masses including Tamils and Muslims will explore with the help of Indians when the time is right.
They have their own ulterior motives.
That is natural in politics.
 
Think ahead of them is the way forward.

Trusting Indian politician especially Modi is the Disaster Point.
Modi knows it and he will have another plot with the help of RAW.

Never trust an Indian is my Cardinal Strategy.
 
Do not believe the cardinal too, he has his own agenda.

Paranoia to a certain degree in politics is a blessing in disguise.

Labour Wins with a Considerable Swing

Labour Party around 500,000 Total Votes
Liberal-National Alliance 400,000 Total Votes.
A deficit of 100,000 which in electoral terms is a Landslide Victory.

The beauty is nobody gets 50% of the vote in the first round. 
It is around 33 to 38% in the first round for the winner.

Australia uses prefential voting system so the winner has to pass the 50% threshold.

Votes of the one who gets the lowest number of vote is redistributed according to the preference vote.
If that does not make 50% the second lowest is redistributed according to the preference until 50% is met.
Usually this requirement is fullfiled by the third count.
It takes lot of time but computer program developed could predict the final number of seats.
Current Projection not Final
Labour 86 to 88
Coalition 38 to 40
Independent 8 to 10
Total is 138 and another 12 seats remains to distributed which are really close fights.
Final may be
Labour         94
Coalition      44
Rest             12
Total.         150   
Australia is a continent and has 150 whereas Ceylon a small county has 225 which an anomaly.

GreenParty is wiped off the map.
Yes, I do not believe in fringe parties.

In Ceylon we have 86 parties and a few saffron clad guys own parties.
They use these parties to set off income TAX and some parties sell their assets to the best bidder just before nomination.

This Kodituwakku guy who is disseminating almost faked news never has a party. His collections are never audited and he is a crook just like Sepala, Sudath and most of the YouTube guys.

All of them beg for patreon contributions and I have never spent a cent for "Faked News".

I believe in Alternative Media but I do not think in my life time we see a "Sea Change".

Tickuer Carlson is an exception.

Yes, I am three years in Australia and just witnessing another Labour Victory.
I am Labour Guy of course, all my life and when I Britain I was a British Labour Party supporter and was registered with the Party.

It is strange no party is above the King and Britain or for that matter Australia become a Republic.

I think it is high time but security protocols with USA and Britain are the obstacles.
For that matter we cut our umbilical cord with Britain long time ago but current President Anura had wrapped our umbilical cords around Modi's big belly.
I wish it is around his neck in the future where we can tighten it like Israel do it to its neighboring countries and USA.

In came Mrs.Tatcher in 1980s the Labour lost lost and I left UK for good.

I was in New Zealand briefly for two years there also Labour lost to Nationals. Then New Zealanderd made a mockery of first pass (promotional representation) the post elections and I totally lost interest in New Zealand politics including All Blacks

Beauty is this time round I did not follow Australian election closely and believed some form of change would happen and a close fight.
I was proven wrong.
In politics charisma is important.
I do not say Labour had it but in reality the opposition lacks.
But charisma has no value.

We elected a charismatic guy in Ceylon with lot of promises BUT he is proving himself IMPOTENT to deal with Indian and RAW.

It is SAD.

Unlike in Ceylon there is no big buzz.

One won't realize there that there was an election in Australia.
It is so peaceful to the extent that the opposition was wiped out.

The Liberal-National coalition did not fight hard and the swing was around 5% to 3% in favour of Labour.
If they faught hard in some seats they would have narrowed it down to 1% they even would have doubled the number of seats.
One cannot win from an armchair or from simple media campaigns.
One has to meet the voters in real time

It all depends whether Labour could fulfil it promises.
The bottom line is I want Australia to be successful and emerging force in Global Politics.
It's population I think is less than in Ceylon.

We in Ceylon have more mouths but less working people in offices while JVP was very destructive for over 50 years.

That is their curse and nobody believed in them except rhetoric.

Only indication was that I used to get an email once in a way to indicate there is an election.

That's it.

Politics here is at policy levels.
1. Cost of Living (going up in Ceylon)
2. Affordable Housing
3. State of Healthcare 

Nothing about Youth Fighting and Drugs
Nothing about alcohol abuse and domestic violence
Nothing about Immigration 
Nothing about Muslim / Chinese issues 

Some of the above were my concerns when I was in UK and little kids suffer a lot. I went to learn normal paediatrics but ended up desking with child abuse a lot. That was one reason I left UK.
Sadly it happens a lot in Ceylon and except for a few cases they are pushed under the carpet.
They include some Tuition Masters and some of them are already in the parliament and would not take any action to wean this menace and improve the schools in the periphery.

Ranil's plan is to destroy Kannaggara Free Education and he is the biggest menace to Education Ceylon.
He thinks Education is like selling Wattakkas and Bandakkas in Dambulla.
Throw away the rotten to our elephants without looking after our elephants welfare.
In other words children who fail in the year 5 examination are thrown to the dustbin.
The primary goal is to help these less able kids. I had been telling this for over 30 years and nobody listened. 
Carried on with the same ploy.
I did some improvement to the Universities these Peratugamus Duminda and ? others doing enough damage to our A level and University Education.
They are pest and offshhots of JVP.
There again sadnesses.
I left Ceylon in my old age and I can close my eyes to Ceylon and wish not be born there again.
Just see characters like Nalinn De Silva and how he ended up. 
He was another pest and I hear his cohort is nearing 100.

Professor Aponso is also 100 but he remains in Kandy.

But my major interst is Australian Cricket but lately I am begining to understand their (Australian) Rugby Football.

English Rugger I barely comprehended.

Thank You Peter Dutton in Dicksokn, it is time to reflect and pass the batton to a worthy contender.
You had been a good Health Minister long time ago and I used to follow Australian politics from Ceylon (a few years after the end of our internal ethnic war) when lot of our diasphora moved to Australia on bogus ethnic cleansing pretext.

As a medical guy I was very much interested in Geariatrics and old age deterioration of mental capacity.

My gut feeling it is Alcohol that causes majority of Dementia in old age.
Alcohol is a menace in Ceylon, and I often  wonder how come a country in debt where average person uses most of his income on alcohol and adulterated alcohol and illegal alcohol is a major industry the new government has no control.
It is the major income of the government.
My research lead to discover that JRJ our first president white printing Dharmista Samajaya ( there was a stamp) promoting Alcohol Industry.
80% of our Rice production is diverted to brewery and the price of a kilo of rice had gone up by 300%.
That the way politics works in Ceylon.
I am off Alcohol and had wine (I was an addict of good wine) only thrice in three in three years all were related to some form of party, birthday or an anniversary. Most of the parties I abstained while others enjoyed the spriti of the time.

My ambition was to come to Australia and work in Northern Territories then. That did not work out but ended up in New Zealand in 1992. I did not want to retire at 50 which was a Labour Policy in New Zealand and went back to Ceylon and stayed in service until 2016 in a newly built Faculty.
There I was more interested in Linux networking and not Microsoft or Apple devices.
Then the coronavirus intervened and fortunately I did not pay an advance for the air ticket.
Air ticket were cheap, then.
I could not afford the price of air tickets which went up by 300% but English Pound was strong.
Then the Ukraine War and everything is going up in price including Mini PCs.
My only wish now is to test new version of Linux on a DDR5 Mini PC.
I have to wait until the prices go down to manageable level.
I am not interested in Linux games now.
But my book on Linux Essentials is in its editing and checking typos.

My Daily Browser

My Daily Browser
My usual Browser is Firefox.
I use many other browsers, simple because when I work on an article using Firefox on Blog spot of Google I need to view other reliable sources and some times to view my own private ww.wordpress.com web site's articles (this webpage is not visible to the public and .com and .org).
 
Thess articles are over 10 years old and I review them and edit them to current needs.
I decided to change to Brave and I could not Install Brave using Debian package. The package at SorceForge lacks Debian dependencies.
I have had no problem with MX Linux since it supports Brave and many other browsers, I use.
 
What I did today.
 I downloaded both Brave and Firefox RPM packages (I do not like RPM packages) and installed them on sandboxed environment in a folder of their own (Brave 1.80.28 and Firefox 138.0.1).
These two are independent but I have no icon in my panel to start them.
This upsets my working environment.
Additionally for the first time I registered with both Firefox and Brave with my Gmail.
There are no FREE Browsers now except Dillo, Epiphany and Falkon which I used for over 30 years in addition to Firefox (all Linux derivatives).
 
Life is getting complicate and I wish I kick the bucket sooner than later.

Tribute to Antony Green- Computer Guy in Politics

I am a computer guy.
I never used a computer to do election analysis.
 
I collect all the election results post-election of Ceylon and analyses them mentally over a month or so and try to retain the facts in my brain.
 
I do get involved in the next election three months ahead.
 
I said Anura won't get 50% but at best 45% and he got 44%.
 
I left Ceylon 3 years ago knowing economic hell will break out in Ceylon.
 
I am already proven correct.

But in Australia it is completely different.
This guy Antony Green has everything in his network of computers and he predicts outcome of every seat.
 
An amazing talent.
 
He retires today.
I hope he takes up Linux from today and save lot of money for his computers.
Linux is everywhere including NASA.
 
I have not seen Linux guys involved in election politics at all.
 
We need a guy like home to guide us politically.
 
I am a labour man deep at heart and that does not mean I hate conservative politics but I am at odd with Liberal Party in UK and it was just coming into politics when Thathcher was heading UK when I left UK.
 
I decided I would never touch foot on UK ever since they started supporting War in Ukraine while elderly are switching off energy to save money for food.
 
I am glad I left UK.
 
Australians are as in cricket down to earth people.
I hope they lead global politics away from American Hegemony.
 
Ukraine War was engineered in America.
 
Australia did not send it foot soldiers to Ukraine but sent some old rickety military hardware or battle tanks.

I abhor all firm of war from Vietnam War.
It is 50 Year Anniversary of Vietnam War.
 
Australia lost little over 500 of it's men there and over 3000 were injured.

I welcome Donald Trump's policy that no American should die in a foreign land for somebody else political war.
 
This does not mean I am supportive of Russia.
 
Russia lost 27 millions against German Hitler's Army and protected this world.
Give due respect to that fact.
 
Russians are great people of this world.

They are no aliens.

Victory Day, falls on this month of Wesak in which we celebrate peace and harmony in the entire world.

We do not want War Mongers any more.
 
Down with Biden and Military Industrial Complex which MI5-6 are part of.


Finish Testing ARCH Linux

I have finished testing ARCH Linux.
Manjaro Linux was the only Link x that can coexist with my Gnome.
1. BlueStar Linux is the most beautiful KDE.
It's GRUB is best out of the lot but has glitches when there is anothe Arch Linux in the system.
No coexistence.
2. Reborn Linux had lot of features but cannot live with other ARCH distributions.
3. Endeavour OS is the most minimal of all three but GRUH incompatibility.
I think vmlinux is configured.
4. ARCO Linux, CatchyOS, Bunsen Linux, Boron and Berrylium are minimal distribution and are almost dormant and no updates upto two years.
Buck up guys and girls of these distributions.
All in all ARCO Linux is becoming User Friendly.
Thank YOU.

Gnanath Obeysekara the Pompous Academic

This guy was more out of the country than in as an academic.
His office was there but he was never in.
I haven't seen him but I used to hear some arts students talking about him behind his back.
Arts students hated him.
He was more British than average human can be.
He was supposed to big and he probably used his imposing figure to his advantage.

To me he belongs to the guys who (Ganath- Gna Deviyanta Yathi) who believed in many number of Hindu Gods which is an antithesis to Dhamma Teachings.

Anthropology is alien to us as a scientific guys and I think we had a few books in the medical library but nobody borrowed them.
In my later years I was interested in the evolution of human brain size and there was a book in anatomy which desktop into detail.
I used to photopcopy the relevant sections especially evolution of language skills.
There is a language center in the brain but no religion center at all.
By the way, all religions are all man made.
This book was stolen by a medical guy.
I traced the borrowing register and tacred this acadmic guy and blacklisted him for life.
He is fortunately dead and that book must be in his attic or sold to the newspaper collector to wral chick peas.
Library books are public and for sharing.
Now this guy supposed to have a big collection at home. If he purchased them or somebody donated them to it was OK.
It is a rich tradition to give a book as a gift.
Late Professor Lobes (Polish) gifted me a big book on nature (UK).
I have large collection of books and quite a number on Buddhism and lot on Linux.
These white ants must be eating them as a delicacy since I am here in Australia.
Quite number I burned before leaving since the stuff in them do not belong to scientific traditions.
Now let me dish out a real story.
This guy ended up as a firesic pathologist.
I had a book on UNO, Human Rights and Fundental Rights.
In my leisure I use to read bit by bit.
This guy who descended from Indian Chetties asked it from me saying he would return it in two days.
I never got it back.
Guy died of a gall bladder cancer and when I saw some of his irratic behavior, I told him I want to see him privately.
He would have thought it was about this book. I asked him few question related to his diabetes and told him his symptoms are not due to diabetes but something different.
Go see a proper consultant.
He did not.
Soon after I left the University to join NawaLoka for a Management Training job.
The idea was for the Navaloka to get the National Quality Accedtion. We spent over Rs.500,000/= for this over 18 months.
Mind you it included kitchen, too.
Few years later I went to NawaLoka for some test for one my friends. His claim was that he had done the same test in 3 different hospitals and got to three different results. 
I told him follow these instructions to the letter and go to a particular person (he was a Kandy man now managing the laboratory not at NawaLoka ) get it repeated and if the results come bad come to me.
Result came as normal.
All ended up well.

Now to the CRUNC Points.
1. 40% of the illnesses one can make an accurate diagnosis ( including postmortems)
2. This can be extended to 60% by through investigation and research.
3. 40% can never be diagnosed.

My research work well past 50 years was to test this theory and I am glad to say it confirmed it without much a do.
It not "much a do without anything".
This was done to get my increments and confirm in a substantial post.

The important point I forgot.
One should do the research in Ceylon and they should be relevant to our wellbeing and not to foreigners.
We sent 25 guys to Japan only two came back and out of the 23 who did not come only one paid back the bond which was about Rs.30,000/=.
The money allocated for research is not enough. I spent Rs.500,000/= on my own which was saving from UK.
My plan was to cover that expense by selling my books based on my work.
I did not give them to my alma mater.
Money came partly from J.I.C.A. and partly from the University but the amount was not enough.

But I found a way to get -20 degree Fridge to store temperature sensitive enzymes which are very expensive (stock enzymes).

Back year 2000 we had a grand (WHO sponsored) symposium to train young ones in the University on primer preparation in genomic studies.
Our attempt buy one for our lab failed but that is time I rejoined the University well past fifty and remained in Ceylon and spent my sabotical leave in Ceylon except visiting Singapore to buy my old laptop which is very slow but working fine.
I have migrated to Mini PCs and the two I have are working fine.
Buying a laptop is waste of money if one is not using it daily.
My recommendation is Tablet with big face, perhaps one which can be linked to a keyboard or lap-base.

I had a healthy relationship with J.I.C.A from 1988/89.
This is when we in IMMI collaborated with JICA and developed the J.E.B. Vaccine in Ceylon.
This is where RAW and DJVP collaborated a plot to kill innocent people and I was 4th in the list.

One may wonder why this long piece.
I am a computer guy and I am trying to coexit ARCH derivative with Gnome and it is hitting some GRUB boot obstacles.
I fiddked with the partition table and ARCH cannot read it.
While running the System I am doing this piece.
Inconsistencies are due to that.
This is about Our School Teachers.
In mid 1980s I decided to come home for good from UK.
One of the guys asked what I should take home. I said I need to donate a few computerd to my school.
I got not one three and I could not carry them with my heavy lugasge.
We made some arrangement for TRICO to deliver them later.
Few months later they arrived and I met the principal and got it established. Little later we got a GP in UK to 50 odd computers to Faculty of Medicine. I was invited there since I had very cordial relationship with the Library Staff.
So got a guy from our school to do the Samba binding and it was running smoothly and the academic staff was given five on the side of the library staff.
I was working in the Dental Faculty and I could not reserve a seat there but had to go to the student's side. I did not want to occupy a student seat and stopped going to the library for good. I had my own computer in my room from JICA and at that time we did not have Internet.

So I got activated and with the help of  social club and did a Samba binding for our faculty independent of the University.
Now coming to my school. I forget about the computers is our school and I got another five computers from another source. So one day without any appointment I went to the school and met the master in charge of science and told him I want to meet the teacher in charge of the computer section.
He said OK.
With some difficulty I met him and said I want to see the computers. He did not know I was the one who was instrumental in getting the first three computers.
He declined to open it.
Probably they were dismantled beyond use.
I came back to the principal ( not mater in charge of science) and told him I came to donate five computers and this is how I was treated and won't walk into this school in my life time and came home.
This was similar to the my view that I would not visit Maligawa until the current one is disposed.
Well my computer is on with the new Operating System.
Good Bye.

Indika Totawaththa and His Interpretation of Dhamma

This just an advice for him as a doctor.
1. He is being used by various elements mostly by Catholics (Catholics (I call it Catholic Action, the second round started somewhere around 1962).

2. He has to read Dhamma through a third party and these guys selected or used distorted Buddhist Literature for him.
Not real Dhamma.

3. He should realize that Sinhala is a disorted version of Pali.

4. Both Pali and Sinhala were spoken languages with lot of distortions and misinterpretarions.

5. Writing in Sinhala started by Buddhist monks to record local medicine, more importantly Hindu Astrology and lately to preserve what is heard as Dhamma.
They were supposed to be ditroyed during Baminitiya Saya which lasted 11 years.
Unlike togay distortions (distortion is in weekly basis) were rare because monks routinely discussed Dhamma.
Also had big Dhamma Sangayana.
It is time for another Sangayana if we can find the quarum.

6. Dhamma was recorded 1700 years after Parinibhana and enough distortion has had happened over time.
 we do not need more and more distortion to help Catholics.

7. I have most of the Pali tesxts and three dictionaries one is a huge one. In that dictionary it takes 12 pages to define Dhamma.

8. It was not Sinhala Buddhists except perhaps Most Reverend Narada Thera who started translation to English.

9. It was three German Jewish Monks who started the Buddhist Publication Society and sorted restoring Dhamma.
Please do not make it Buddhism or Religion like other religions.

10. By Buddhist monks are also using him to sort out Nikaya and Monk problems due to some of his bizarre logic.

11. Karena Dhamma Sakachcha is good but the greated dander to Dhamma is Anura/Harumi/Ranil and Modi attack.

My understanding is anybody who is knowingly or unknowingly distort end up in Niraya.
My attempt is purely academic and write on Dhamma having perused relevant books.
I am currently working on Commetcilsation Meditation.

Buddhism is not a philosophy.
Buddhism is not a religion.
Buddhism is a Way of Life for both Monks and Lay People.
I do not pretend to know Dhamma.
I divert any queries to proper Sutta or books.
Sila
Samadhi
Panga are the basics.
Ekayan Maggo.
That proper supervised Meditation.
Not roaming as in the YouTube channels.
Another episode and another episode.
 
Dhamma or Truth is One Way Track.
No side roads to emancipation.

Russian have taken My Gnome Promotion to Heart

 ALT Linux

I think Russian developed should take a leaf out of ARCH Reborn OS and provide online install and to pick one of the 10 favourite desktops.

I am installing it Now.

It was almost a disaster.

It takes over the entire monitor and picking options was difficult.

1.Press F2 for English or Russian (they have dropped Portuguese language).

2. Accepting and ticking the Free Software Declaration was difficult. Finally I found it on the bottom middle of the panel.

I would go for Gnome which I know and not the ALT Panel desktop.

3. Next come the Locality and finding Australia was difficult from the left hand corner menu.

4. Then the application selection.

I clicked all but ALT service client.

5. Setup for me is custom and not a workstation.

6. Thanks God again that the partition table was clear and on the left hand side. 

With full screen it was easy on my eyes.

It got my partition 24 WRONG as NTFS.

It is Ext4 and /var.

It did not have /boot option but many derivatives of /var.

I think it is going to destroy 5 of my partition. I clicked wrong option by accident.

It needed 26GB and I had only 20GB.

I could not resize it to 26GB.

I went down to 11.1GB for applications.

I think one should not try this distribution if you are newbie.

No recovery option and now the installation is on.

Yes, just like Redahat I will erase it within 20 minutes of my installation but keep the USB in my Archive. 

Already transferred (not written to a USB) the Iso Image to a spare USB.

The wallpaper is not Gnome but traditional MATE and yellowish.

I know my partition table by heart.

7. It's package system is RPM of Redhat which I hate.

Installation is painfully SLOW.

It installs the base system first.

Then go for applications second.

Application installation is also very slow but bit faster than the base system. 

I think it has picked up lot of ALT stuff and may have spying or snooping ingredients.

BEWARE.

It is for Russians by Russians and probably violate Free Software and Freedom Concepts.

After all it is a communist country just like China and that is why despise DeepIn Linux which many moons ago destroyed one of my external rotating disk for good.

The only one I had after disposing the rest to iron foundry.

No cancel or delete partition options.

SAD.

Yes, Russians are still "Bum Sucking Windows Utilities".

That is no Brainer for an ardent Linux supporter and convict.

Perhaps I might install it in my laptop on my first journey to Russia so that I can use ALT and Sysipus repository.

Good Bye ALT on Gnome and Panel Option.

Thankfully Gnome recovered my System at boot up and no damage done by ALT Linux.

I cut and paste the image on a 16GB USB for future review.

Erasing the USB used for testing.

Russian have taken My Gnome Promotion to Heart

Big Thank You to Russian Developers.

LINUX is GLOBAL and has no political affiliation or division in its COMMUNITY. 

Thank GOD, I did not publish my book on "Linux Essentials".

An account ALT Linux would be written there.

I used Mate Desktop on my OLD Laptop long time ago and was not impressed.

Gnome has more than 50,000 packages and it supports Snapcraft, too.

Just yesterday, I got Brave Browser installed in my Gnome using Snaps.

Thank YOU again.

I am downloading it (6GB)  and run live and if satisfied might install it in my NUC.

My visit to Russia is suspended indefinitely. I hear Russian have demoted Ceylonese in their VISA scheme. They very well remeber our JVP leader and his disruptive politics in "Lumumba University".

Maria Fokanova has announced the release of ALT Linux 11.0 "Workstation", an independently-developed Linux distribution with RPM package management and (newly) GNOME as the default desktop: "Update 11 of ALT Workstation operating system is available. The new distribution release is based on Platform 11 (p11 'Salvia' stable branch). The build is available for the x86_64 and AArch64 architectures, using the 6.12 (LTS) Linux kernel. System environment: GCC 14 compiler suite; systemd 255.18; glibc 2.38; glib2 2.82. The new distribution retains the ability to boot ALT Workstation in LiveCD mode. The LiveCD uses Nouveau drivers, while the installed system defaults to NVIDIA drivers. Key features of the release on Platform 11: redesigned system theme; switched from MATE to GNOME desktop environment; numerous new GNOME-compliant applications; updated documentation. The most significant change in Workstation is transition to the GNOME desktop environment. GNOME components: GTK 4.16, Libadwaita 1.6, GNOME Shell 47.4."

 ALT Linux

I did not like its MATE Desktop.

 ALT Linux was founded in 2001 by a merge of two large Russian free software projects. By the year 2008 it became a large organization developing and deploying free software, writing documentation and technical literature, supporting users, and developing custom products. ALT Linux produces different types of distributions for various purposes. There are desktop distributions for home and office computers and for corporate servers, universal distributions that include a wide variety of development tools and documentation, certified products, distributions specialized for educational institutions, and distributions for low-powered computers. ALT Linux has its own development infrastructure and repository called Sisyphus, which provides the base for all the different editions of ALT Linux.

This is quite a whopper of an upload, featuring ALT Linux 2.4 Master in its full 8 CD glory. The install CD is still available at ALT's FTP, but I can't find the other 7 anywhere.

ALT Linux is a Russian Linux distribution created by the merging of two Russian projects working on Linux in 2001; with the distribution itself ultimately starting as a fork of Mandrake Linux before becoming its own thing. As you can see, this release is from September 2004 and it has a truckload of stuff, which I can't even begin to list in any sort of detail here. I will let you know that the default installation comes with the KDE 3.2.3 and GNOME 2.6.2 desktops running on top of kernel 2.4.26, however. Additionally, the initial install only uses the install CD; you will have to fiddle around with Synaptic (the package manager used here) post-install to get the other 7 CDs added so that you can install whatever you want from them. I hope you enjoy!

MATE

MATE
MATE is named after the South American plant yerba mate (tea made out of it). The name is stylized in all capital letters to follow the nomenclature of other Free Software desktop environments like KDE and LXDE. 
MATE was adopted for “Advanced Traditional Environment” by the community in the spirit of Free Software. 
It is the continuation of the classic GNOME 2 interface. It offers a traditional and familiar computing experience with the ability to customize its desktop environment. 
MATE was an official Ubuntu flavour which Ubuntu abandoned.
It is light weight and lacks in software applications. 
Parrot OS uses it as its base.
I never used it or liked it.
Russian ALT Linux used it and lately Russians had got the brain wave and switched to Gnome.

DuckduckGO and Bodhi Linux

 December 26, 2011

Why one should use DuckduckGO

Bodhi Supports it.
DuckduckGO has a trendy support of the Linux community.
With cloud computing in full swing soon, the emergence of DuckDuckGO is a healthy attribute.
Bodhi and lot of  Debian derivatives which port light weight
 Midori as a browser by default support DuckDuckGO including Puppy Linux.
By the way Bodhi enlightenment desktop has produced and excellent distribution come this Christmas.
It is light weight and has beautiful desktop effects.

Bodhi supports Sinhala too.

Bodhi has enlightenment desktop. 

Below is the information reproduced directly from DuckDuckGO home page.
It has a strong Privacy Policy.
DuckDuckGo is a search engine that is based in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania and uses information from crowd-sourced sites (like Wikipedia) with the aim of augmenting traditional results and improving relevance.  

The search engine philosophy emphasizes privacy and does not record user information.
At other search engines, when you do a search and then click on a link, your search terms are sent to that site you clicked on (in the HTTP referer header). 

We call this sharing of personal information “search leakage.”
 

For example, when you search for something private, you are sharing that private search not only with your search engine, but also with all the sites that you clicked on (for that search).
In addition, when you visit any site, your computer automatically sends information about it to that site (including your User agent and IP address).

This information can often be used to identify you directly.
So when you do that private search, not only can those other sites know your search terms, but they can also know that you searched it. It is this combination of available information about you that raises privacy concerns.
DuckDuckGo prevents search leakage by default. 

Instead, when you click on a link on our site, we route (redirect) that request in such a way so that it does not send your search terms to other sites. The other sites will still know that you visited them, but they will not know what search you entered beforehand.
At some other search engines (including us), you can also use an encrypted version (HTTPS), which as a byproduct doesn’t usually send your search terms to sites. However, it is slower to connect to these versions and if you click on a site that also uses HTTPS then your search is sent. Nevertheless, the encrypted version does protect your search from being leaked onto the computers it travels on between you and us.
At DuckDuckGo, our encrypted version goes even further and automatically changes links from a number of major Web sites to point to the encrypted versions of those sites. It is modeled after (and uses code from) the HTTPS Everywhere FireFox add-on. 

These sites include Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon to name a few.
Another way to prevent search leakage is by using something called a POST request, which has the effect of not showing your search in your browser and, as a consequence, does not send it to other sites. You can turn on POST requests on our settings page, but it has its own issues. POST requests usually break browser back buttons, and they make it impossible for you to easily share your search by copying and pasting it out of your Web browser’s address bar.
Finally, if you want to prevent sites from knowing you visited them at all, 
you can use a proxy like Tor. 

DuckDuckGo actually operates a Tor exit enclave, which means you can get end to end anonymous and encrypted searching using Tor & DDG together.
You can enter !proxy domain into DuckDuckGo as well, and we will route you through a proxy, e.g. !proxy breadpig.com. This feature is part of our !bang syntax. Unfortunately, proxies can also be slow, and free proxies (like the one we use) are funded by arguably excessive advertising.
Because of these drawbacks in HTTPS, POST and proxies we decided to take the redirect approach to combat search leakage. However, we leave the choice up to you. 

You can deviate from the default on our settings page by toggling the redirect or address bar settings. 

You can also use our encrypted version.


Other search engines save your search history. 

Usually your searches are saved along with the date and time of the search, some information about your computer (e.g. your IP address, User agent and often a unique identifier stored in a browser cookie), and if you are logged in, your account information (e.g. name and email address).
With only the timestamp and computer information, your searches can often be traced directly to you. With the additional account information, they are associated directly with you.
Also, note that with this information your searches can be tied together. This means someone can see everything you’ve been searching, not just one isolated search. You can usually find out a lot about a person from their search history.
It’s sort of creepy that people at search engines can see all this info about you, but that is not the main concern. The main concern is when they either a) release it to the public or b) give it to law enforcement.
Why would they release it to the public? 

AOL famously released supposedly anonymous search terms for research purposes, except they didn’t do a good job of making them completely anonymous, and they were ultimately sued over it. 

In fact, almost every attempt to anonymize data has similarly been later found out to be much less anonymous than initially thought.
 

The other way to release it to the public is by accident. Search engines could lose data, or get hacked, or accidentally expose data due to security holes or incompetence, all of which has happened with personal information on the Internet.
 

Why would search engines give your search history to law enforcement? 

Simply because law enforcement asked for it, usually as part of a legal investigation. 

If you read privacy policies and terms of service carefully you will notice that they say they can give your information on court order.
 

This makes sense because they may be legally obligated to do so. However, search engines are not legally obligated to collect personal information in the first place. They do it on their own volition.
The bottom line is if search engines have your information, it could get out, even if they have the best intentions. And this information (your search history) can be pretty personal.


For these reasons, DuckDuckGo takes the approach to not collect any personal information
. 

The decisions of whether and how to comply with law enforcement requests, whether and how to anonymize data, and how to best protect your information from hackers are out of our hands. Your search history is safe with us because it cannot be tied to you in any way.

JVP/NPP Combo is an Economic. Cultural and Social Pest (parasite) of Body Politics of Ceylon

 JVP/NPP Combo is an Economic. Cultural and Social Pest (parasite) of Body Politics of Ceylon

 This parasitic worm has to be removed from our body politics.

 It got the blessing of Ranil/Indian and CIA master plan but that is besides the point.

They build it cader on jealousy and cast system and now ir has permiated the vety Buddhist (Niragmikya and Samavasikaya of Magngala/Aruni/Maithree Clan or Biden Trojan)

Niragamika theme on this Month of Wesak has the most devastating Cultural Impact.

Yes, it should be discarded like the Kata Kela or the first spit of the mourning, lest we won't be able to for a considerable lenght of time in our history and heritage. 

Kata Kela comes from a Dhammapada Verse which JVP guys have never read and I have a copy in front of me even in Australia and it always accompany me on foreign voyage.

 It contains Truth not the Chethiyas a Boru of Anua/Arunu and Modi clan.

Yes Modi has a major Hate Muslim Theme (they are 30% and growing in India) but the underlying theme is to destroy reemergence of Buddhism in India. Yes it is happening lot of Hindus are in their heart are real Buddhists in their practice of religion and not anti-Bhuddhist like Modi Clan.

I call majority of Indians stupid.

That is why they cannot understand Buddhism in its core but War Mongering against the Muslims. 

India never helped us (really propagated their agenda and undermined our sovereignty) but Pakistan Air Force helped us a lot and in their need we should take the side of Pakistan not India.

Our Stupid President has become a stooge of Indian politics.

360 degree turn and Wijeweera started with Indian expansion in his five lectures to ruin our YOUTH.

The intention of these to highlight the economic impact (I have a piece here in detail) of their Destruction.

I was involved in replacing three (3) Transformers in our locality in a shorter space of less than two months. After the last reinstall the Lady Engineer told me it is the last in stock, you better protect it and YES, I became a real anti-JVP- crusade from then onwards and never hesitated to educate the Three Wheeler Drivers (first by boycotting and not hiring the JVP sympathizer 3WDs).

Last time they used Three Wheeler Drivers for this campaign.

So do not hire these 3WDS guys who a cultural pest and worm in our body politics.

I am telling it as a doctor and our body politics is sicken by their propaganda but our MINDS should be clear at the polling station.

Buddhism is for our Mind and not for our body that putrefy. 

Minds remains (reborn again) to take a root in another body and another life.

Despise these Niragamikayos.

Conspiracy to Change the Constitution- 3Cs

 Conspiracy to Change the Constitution

1. Conspiracy

Illegal attempt to change something legal.System change and "Aragalaya" is illegal.

The legal luminary from Colombo Law College failed to take action or arrest (not a single case raised against it) the progress of this SAGA.

2. Why Change?

It is spearheaded by CIA and ably aided by Modi of India using Tamil diaspora.

Everything necessary for safeguarding rights of all citizens, religions and languages are

"Kiri Hattiya Perallanna Haddenne, Anura and Haruni are main accessories.

This is what JVP and NPP have always done.

Doing things against the legal government (madness by itself by their "gim bands") is ther forte and thing that is a heroic.

Wijeweera was excelled from "Lumumba University".

Please ask President Putin of Russia.

He will give all the details.

Study this as political exercise.


3. Constitution

It was a collective effort done with foresight.

Unfortunately JVP came in and LTTE took the effort to divide the country with Indian RAW's help.

Ceylon is a Sovereign Country which is inviolable.

Our constitution is better than what is in America and we have avoided to dictator coming to power. JRJ tried but failed.

Anura wants to become a dictator (Ranil wants to be a dictator before he kick the bucket and he has placed Anura to see the impact, how it evolves).


"Balalun Lava Koss-Ata Bema Thamai Den Wenne"


That is why they are clamouring to change it.

However a referendum is necessary and we have to defeat at that level, if ever with 2/3rd majority they change the constitution.

We are going through critical (period) danger and Cardinals are hard at work and Conspiring in the Vatican.

30-04-1975 - 50 Year Anniversary of Vietnam War

I forgot that the  50 Year Anniversary of Vietnam War was yesterday.
 
It is strange that India is now a strong buddy of USA.
 
Ho Chi Ming is my Hero.
 
I had a frame of a Vietnamese Paddy Farmer  hung on the side wall of my bed in the University.
It was stolen when I returned from home after first term holidays.
I was framed as a JVP guy by JVP guys themselves (I was never a member and I oppose the JVP/NPP, to this day) and was exposed to the Army who came to round up JVP guys in 1968. 
 
By stroke of luck the lieutenant who came happened to be one of my friends.
 
Then, in 1989, I was 4th in the kill list of RAW and DJVP in Digana. 
I got the wind and returned home. safely.

Che Guevara was another hero of mine.

Basically I was anti-amercam because as a Buddhist I abhor war (that include internal conflict against our own Tamils).

Summary 
War casualties 
America 
Over 58,000 dead
Over 300,000 injured 

Australia
Over 500 dead
Over 3000 injured.

Ceylon
None
 
Not fact checked but extracted from Wikipedia.

It is strange that even devoted Buddhist country Thailand sent it's soldiers to fight with Vietcong.
 
Irony is India is with America.
 
America always want a war in somewhere.

That is why the American journalists try to destroy Donal Trump who is now against any form of war.

Now starting a war against Pakistan.is the American strategy.

The reason is that it is a Muslim country.

Formally Pakistan was with America and they have now only China to help them.
 
With Ukraine War Russia is not involved with Pakistan.

With impending crisis in the Middle East with Iran, anything can happen.
 
It is said Israelis are helping India and Mosad guys are already there.
 
There is a significant number of Indian Israel citizens in India.

I hope this peaceful Month of May when Buddha was born won't become the month of war.

This is why I feel RAW and India have an  undercurrent to destabilize current Buddhist Revival in Ceylon.




My Entry into Dhamma

My Entry into Dhamma

This is the month of Wesak.

One must reflect on the month of April with a sharp mind and scrutiny.

It was all to confuse the mine of 70% of the average Buddhist.

In my living memory we never had elections before the Weask Poya.

It is a categorical statement and disaster well planed in advance like the "Aragalya-System Change" by the Ranil Clan or CIA plot.

Modi has become cat paw of American Plan. 

Two military bases in Sigiriya and Mihintale and Modi showed how to use it by using a helicopter to take him from Mihintale and land on Tamil Nadu just violating our sovereign protocol.

That is why say he treats Ceylon like another Provincial Council of India. I am ashamed of retinue of Colombo lawyers not raising their eyelids at least.

This guy who is distorting the history of Ceylon is in the plot.

With that background let me sate my entry into Dhamma (not Buddhism).

Dhamma is all about Mind and I have two books at Amazon, one should read if one wants to delve deeper.

But an average person should read Dhmmapada.

There 423 verses at least read two of them that suits one's personality.

It is not like JRJ who recited two verses at UNO and made this country living hell for Tamils in 1983.

Thankfully I was not in this country when that event happened and as collateral I could have been dead. This is besides, the point RAW tried to kill me in 1988/89 in Digana when 138 bodies were dumped in the hospital nearby. I have never been to this hospital to witness it but gave a call to the resident doctor. 

I was man of science in that not medicine but physics but medicine was my career. 

I even contest current state of physics.

Matter physics is only 5% and dark matter and dark force are 95%.

It is called Free Energy and we do not know how to tap into this enormous force.

There nothing called space or void but all part of the energy spectrum some visible and not visible.

1. I had no interest in Buddhism until well into fifties.

2. It was my son who made me to think about Dhamma.

He says do not do merits (pin) nor demerits (pav).

3. That made me to think

On reflection this has come from outside and most likely from previous birth.

4. That is the entry point to Dhamma and Mind Consortium.

5. On reflection our dog who lived just under 15 years was an acessary.

We never had a fight in our family when this guy was there.

That is another story.

6. I have done extensive pediatrics in UK (again I was deprived of doing pediatrics by various sources in Ceylon) and i had some introduction from Professor Gomes.

7. Tie points in 5 and 6 put together, our dog probably was a kid who died at young age (Kamma in action) and born as dog.

I say our dog is now in heaven and he is our Guardian Angle.

8. B.P.S. and Bhikku Bodhi

He was the real entry point to deep Dhamma.

My first question from him was "is there any evidence for atomic theory in Buddhism". 

I had not grasped the word Dhamma (absolute truth)  when I met him.

By the way, Dhamma is not an academic exercise (this an answer to Indika Totawatta) but mind control (I would come to that later).

 He picked his book a translation into English from Abhidhamma and said read this and see if it is there (I think the Pali word I was looking was Vibhajja or Division which I thought was related to atomic theory).

I was proved wrong and I dished out Kalama Sutta and Brahmajala Sutta from the Buddhist Publication Society in Kandy.

This is how it ended up and I have still not understood Dhamma, yet.

I gave up reading the Abhidhamma after 3 months and one of my classmates is trying to teach Abhidhaamma to Middle School Children in the Temple and I told him "please don't but let children be children" (I was an old time pediatrician).

Of course, I left Ceylon and he is toiling in Ceylon under Anura and the Clan who is all out to destroy Buddhist Traditions in Ceylon.

 

In Summary

Dhamma is for the Mind

Ekayana Maggo!

Only Way.

Proper Meditation under guidance is that way.

 

Vibhanga Sutta

Vibhajja : (abs. of Vibhajati) having divided or analyzed.

30 or More Linux Distributions I would like to Use

30 or More Linux Distributions I would like to Use.

This is besides the 25 odd Puppy Linux derivatives.

I am currrntly downloading all the Linux distributions I have used or tested over last six months.

All of them takes about 100 GB of my HOME Folder and My NTFS Partition.

I do not run them over two days like the YouTube guys who test one or two Linux distributions over a Microsoft Base or Oracle Virtual machine or say Linux SUCKS.

My asnser to them is they are Microsoft (or microshaft succkers to make them plume for a few minutes) suckers.

That is all.

However, I had an obsesion on Gnome but to make evrything sweet I have a pieces here to say most beautiful Linux distributions and most of them are KDE based.

Yes, KDE has role oin Linux as much as Elive Linux which is commercial just like Elemnary os and Zorin.

I have special antipathy against Zorin OS which comes from United kigdom.

It only offeres the Base ISO which I have never (I can just imagine what their base is) downloaded otr tested. Their approch also SUCKS.

Do not get caught to them..


Growing Grass Under My Feet

 Posted on January 30, 2011

Growing Grass Under My Feet

Growing Grass Under My Feet

It is high time that we calculate the CO2 foot imprint of every living human being on this planet before it is too late.

It is one of the most important mathematical exercise that we can undertake now.

It may be easy to do that on an animal say a cow but it may be an extremely difficult proposition for even a forest dweller of today.

Since he carries his cellphone and at least a box of matches or a lighter to the deep jungle, his carbon footprint cannot be even remotely compared to a           
pre-historic man. 

Where ever he set foot even the deep-sea bottom he leaves behind a lot of CO2 footprints.

What we can do is to calculate it for an average
American and then compare with a Chinese, Indian and a hypothetical man who lives for 60 years.

On the alternative we can calculate for a bull or cow and extrapolate that to a sedentary American man.

American Man eats 3 to 4 cows by the time he is 45 and probably 5 by the time he says good-bye having consumed every possible advantage and resources available on this planet earth.

Then we calculate for a hypothetical bionic man who needs energy for all his activities including his air travel from say New York to New Delhi and all over the globe in one year to schedule,
a typical American company owner.

Then we have to figure out
how many Americans live hand to mouth existence with minimum of a car ownership.

The equations will go like this

1.  5 bulls x USA (poor American)=USA (poor)

2.  USA x USA (Wealthy American) roughly equivalent to 25 bulls

3.  Total Bull consumption  = A x USA X USA (Wealthy) + B x USA (poor)

A= Total Rich Americans

B= Total Poor Americans

4. Now, 3  has to be divided by (American census-minus rich Americans)

5. Now, 3 has to be divided by  (American census-minus poor Americans)

4 and 5 gives the ratio of consumption in nearest approximation to current American Standards

The results 4 and 5 should be multiplied to get a total figure.

This figure should be now divided by the total current human population.

My estimate even without going into nitty-gritty of the equation is like this.

  1. An average American (poor) will have a figure of 1000

  2. A rich American will be 1000 x 1000

  3. Average Chinese is 100

  4. Rich Chinese will 100 x 100

  5. An average Indian will be 10

  6. Rich Indian 1000 x 10000 (much more than that of a rich American)

Indians are very greedy and they want to swallow Ceylon for breakfast.

That is the Modi's PLAN.

The total CO2 foot print of China comes first.

America comes second.

And India comes 3rd even though the population come only second to China since after many years of open policies
some Indian still live and breath air and do not produce much CO2 since their meals are going down including onions.

This is what India call it 21st century progress and
send rocket to the space and moon and still find a way to fail in Cricket World Cup including completing of venues.

While China is barely able to feed its masses India has failed to make a square meal for the poor whereas a poor American eats 100 times equivalent to a poor Indian.

Mind you a rich Indian with a Maharaja Image (and Guys in the Maharaja Corporation in Ceylon)) produces much CO2 footprint than an American. 

This equation has nothing to do with the bank balance or capital of an individual except it’s somewhat close relationship with the affluence.

There are some rich people who do an enormous amount of work to decrease our impact on the planet and I appreciate their efforts. 

This is an indirect complement to them.

I  want an American Scientist to disprove my equation and discovery and publish a relevant article in the prestigious magazine, American Scientist.

While all this happening I grow grass under my feet to cushion the CO2 foot prints of mine with my urine added to make it’s growth luxurious unlike our banana growers.
