I had a game of Civ where Poland declared war on me. They were on the other side of the map.
I didn't see them for 8 turns. Turn 9 I see a horde arrive on my border. Turn 10 - at the earliest opportunity they were able - they asked for peace.
I managed to sink 2 boats.

Is the LFCS worth getting?
Hey so I'm currently homeless at the moment looking for an entry level IT job. I have just enough money to purchase the RHCSA voucher ($700 CAD) but I wouldn't be able to eat lol.
The LFCS currently has a 30% discount and it was already cheaper than the RHCSA so I'm very inclined to purchase this but I'd only be doing so with the expectation that I'm able to atleast start landing interviews for help desk/tech support.
What would you guys do in my shoes? 0 interest in networking and I already daily drive Linux so I'm confident in my abilities to pass the LFCS.

Netanyahu congratulates Trump, says US 'unsurpassed' after 'bold' attack on Iran that will 'change history'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Donald Trump on Sunday, June 22, after the president said the US military bombed three nuclear sites in Iran. "Congratulations President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history," Netanyahu said in a video message, adding that the attacks demonstrated "America has been truly unsurpassed."
Netanyahu added that Trump had created a "pivot of history" that will "help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace." He shared in a separate statement that the US attacks had been carried out in coordination with Israel and said the promise of destroying Iran's nuclear program was fulfilled.

Gov. Greg Abbott signs bill requiring Ten Commandments to be displayed in Texas classrooms
Texas will require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a new law that will make the state the nation's largest to attempt to impose such a mandate.
Gov. Greg Abbott announced Saturday that he signed the bill, which is expected to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state.
A similar law in Louisiana was blocked when a federal appeals court ruled Friday that it was unconstitutional. Arkansas also has a similar law that has been challenged in federal court.

AOC says Trump's Iran strikes "clearly grounds for impeachment"
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, ripped President Donald Trump for his military attack against Iran on Saturday, saying the move is "absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."
Democrats are splintered on Trump's move to strike the Middle Eastern country amid days of back-and-forth strikes between Israel and Iran as tensions catapulted amid nuclear concerns.
Newsweek previously reached out to the White House via email for comment on the strikes.

ruka wants to know if you'll rub her belly
my parent's old dog ruka. she lost her eye as a very young puppy before we ever met her, but she gets on fine without it.
she can catch balls out of the air no problem, but cant find them 3 inches from her face once they hit the ground. never quite understood that. she's old and tired now, with achy joints and bad hearing. she didn't want to spend much time outside today with all this heat. i make sure to give her all the belly rubs she can handle every time I see her.

[solved] Is there a way to actually download a song from spotify (not just spotdl method of finding it on youtube)?
I have a specific song that doesn't seem to be on youtube. I've tried a bunch of spotify download websites plus spotdl, they all claim to find it but then the song isn't the same song (or is instrumental when it should have words).
One of my kids has asked for this for their MP3 player. I'm even happy to pay for it properly, I just can't find it anywhere except spotify. The song is this specific version of Power in Me by The Young Voices Choir: open.spotify.com/track/4xkRsdm…
Any ideas?
Edit: I managed to get the song using spotidown.app, thanks for all the suggestions!

True Promise III: Iran launches multi-warhead Kheibar Shekan missile for first time
Iran announced the first-ever launch of its multi-warhead Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile during the twentieth wave of Operation True Promise III in the early hours of Sunday.
In a statement, the public relations department of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that this phase of the retaliatory operation marked the debut of the third-generation Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile, successfully striking its intended targets.
The twentieth wave came just hours after the United States claimed to have struck three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
According to the IRGC, a total of 40 solid- and liquid-fueled missiles were launched at strategic targets across the occupied Palestinian territories on Sunday.

VHS digitization woes
I'm trying to digitize some VHS tapes (presumably recorded as NTSC), but I have some questions that I've yet to find answers for. My current process/setup is as follows:
- VHS tapes are played in a PV-D4745S-K VCR
- The VCR's composite output is captured using a generic EasyCap capture card.
- The captured output is fed into OBS Studio with the following settings:
- A source with it's device set to the capture card, the video format is set to YUYV 4:2:2, the resolution is set to 720x480, the frame rate is currently set to Leave Unchanged (more on this later).
- Under Settings>Video I have set Common FPS Values with 29.97.
- I also have set my encoding options under Settings>Output, as well as audio settings under Settings>Audio, but the details of that aren't relevant in this context.
- I also have deinterlacing disabled by right clicking on the scene and selecting Deinterlacing>Disable.
With this, I seem to be able to capture VHS tapes with decent quality, but I have some nagging questions:
1. How do I verify if OBS has indeed captured interlaced? I'm trying to capture both fields, but I'm unsure if that's actually happening, and I'm not sure how to go about verifying it.
2. Should I capture at 29.97 FPS or 59.94 FPS? My thinking is that, given that I'm capturing interlaced, I would think I would multiply the number of captured frames by 2 as, if I understand correctly, each captured frame contains 2 fields, and each would be captured sequentially, so if I want to capture at 29.97 FPS interlaced, I would need to capture at 59.94 FPS. I'm not sure if I'm right about that though.
3. I mentioned above that the framerate under the source properties is set to Leave Unchanged. The reason for why I chose that option is because the only other options that it offers for framerates are 30.00, 20.00, 10.00, and 5.00 — ie there is no option for 29.97, nor 59.94 — so I'm using Leave Unchanged in the hopes that it's autodetecting the proper frame rate, but that's mostly an assumption on my part. The closest to NTSC's 29.97 would be 30.00, but I'm not sure if this is an issue. And what's confusing me more is that I have 29.97 FPS set under Settings>Video with Common FPS Values and 29.97 set. If I set to source framerate to 30 with OBS at 29.97, will that lead to syncing issues? Is there a way to force the source to use 29.97 to match OBS? What's confusing me further about this is that if I list the formats for the capture device with
v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video2 --list-formats-ext
I get the following output (I have truncated it to only list what's relevant, as the full output is long and contains unnecessary information):
[…] size: Discrete 720x480 […] Interval: Discrete 0.033s (30.000 fps) Interval: Discrete 0.050s (20.000 fps) Interval: Discrete 0.100s (10.000 fps) Interval: Discrete 0.200s (5.000 fps) […]
There is no option for 29.97 FPS, and, as can be seen by the output, it matches what OBS sees. Is this an issue? It seems, to me, that the capture card isn't capable of proper NTSC framerates, and can only capture at 30 FPS as the closest value.
The video from your vcr get converted to digital in the usb-capture card. Whatever signal you are receiving in obs wont need deinterlacing, unless the capture device is bad at its job.
Here is how i did my conversions from vhs (eu).
First thing to do is to convert the analogue signal to hdmi. This will ensure that the capture card gets a proper digital signal that obs can deal with. I got an active (powered) SCART to hdmi device.
Second thing is getting a capture card that records the resulting 1080p och 720p output from the ADC. I got a relatively cheap one which then plugs into the pc with usb-a.
After that i setup a scene with the capture card as source and transform the output using obs to get the resolution, size and format i want.
Done.
[…] Whatever signal you are receiving in obs wont need deinterlacing, unless the capture device is bad at its job. […]
As I mentioned in my post, I have deinterlacing disabled. I don't want to deinterlace.
The fact that you think you need the option at all is enough.
Why would you WANT interlaced video?
[…] First thing to do is to convert the analogue signal to hdmi. […]
Why? What's wrong with directly capturing composite? I have yet to come across an HDMI capture card that doesn't process the signal in some way (eg no upscaling, no deinterlacing). I'm doing this for archival purposes so I want the signal as unadulterated as possible. This also includes these sorts of transformations you mention:
[…] After that i setup a scene with the capture card as source and transform the output using obs to get the resolution, size and format i want. […]
You are literally changing analogue to digital. There will be alteration. Period, no discussion.
You have some choice in the way you alter it, but eventually its the same chip in every device that deals with the ADC.
[…] Second thing is getting a capture card that records the resulting 1080p och 720p output from the ADC. I got a relatively cheap one which then plugs into the pc with usb-a. […]
I want to capture interlaced — not progressive ^[2][1]^. I don't want any deinterlacing done by the capture card ^[3]^.

E’ un buon ritorno questo di Paul Simon che, dopo diverse pubblicazioni di non grande valore, ritorna finalmente con un disco sopra la media, anche se lontano dall’ultimo suo capolavoro solista che è Graceland. So Beautiful Or So What è il dodicesimo lavoro in studio del settantenne cantautore americano famoso anche per il duo con Art Garfunkel. Nei testi è la spiritualità l’elemento predominante, ecco infatti cosa dice in una sua intervista: “Spiritualità sì, tanta, anche se in senso non religioso. Credo sia connessa con i tempi, con i problemi economici in America; c'è tanta gente che ha perso e perde il lavoro. Quel che capita nel mondo, e anche nella mia vita, finisce sempre nelle canzoni. Ma direi che sarebbe troppo appioppargli il titolo “Now i sing God”; il soggetto Dio appare in 4 o 5 canzoni, non l'ho fatto intenzionalmente”, un disco quindi, che approfondisce il significato della vita... artesuono.blogspot.com/2014/07…

Mercoledì 25 giugno a Pavarolo (To) la sgra della Susina Purin-a
La Susina Purin-a di Pavarolo, chiamata anche “Prugna di San Giovanni” (“Brigna” in piemontese), è una drupa color vinoso di piccola pezzatura, dolce, molto gustosa e apprezzata dai consumatori, al punto che da anni l’amministrazione comunale le dedica una Sagra giunta alla 28ª edizione. Il nome Purin-a è un richiamo alla parola “pura” che sta ad indicare la rusticità della pianta, che necessita di pochissimi trattamenti e non richiede innesto. La varietà matura attorno al 24 giugno, appena dopo la Susina di San Luigi, da cui si differenzia per il sapore più intenso e per la colorazione.
La varietà Purin-aè coltivata a Pavarolo in particolare nella frazione San Defendente. “Il successo del prodotto deriva sia dalla precocità di maturazione che dal sapore, caratteristiche che hanno permesso alla Susina Purin-a di essere presente in tutte le cascine fino ad oggi” spiega la Sindaca di Pavarolo, Laura Martini.
L’appuntamento con la Sagra della Brigna Purin-a, patrocinata dalla Città metropolitana di Torino, quest’anno è fissato per mercoledì 25 giugno nella piazzetta del mercato in via Maestra. Saranno presenti agricoltori, artigiani e artisti ed è in programma una passeggiata guidata tra i frutteti, in collaborazione con l'associazione Camminare Lentamente, che proporrà un itinerario di circa 5 km su strade bianche. Alle 18 è in programma una dimostrazione con prova pratica di callistenia, disciplina sportiva che utilizza il peso del corpo come resistenza per sviluppare l'armonia e la forza.
L’evento in programma la sera del 25 giugno a partire dalle 19si intitola“Viola come la brigna! Cibo, musica ed una prugna che non ti aspetti”ed è organizzato dalla Pro Loco di Pavarolo.

Grassley Takes Aim at Radical Activist Groups’ Foreign Ties
The People’s Forum and Code Pink may be obligated to register as foreign agents due to Chinese Government funding and influenceBUTLER COUNTY, IOWA – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) to assess whether The People’s Forum and Code Pink are obligated to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), due to the group’s reported Chinese Communist Party ties.
“Evidence suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have been funded and influenced by Mr. [Neville Roy] Singham and the communist Chinese government, both of which are foreign principals. The evidence also suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have engaged in covered political activities that directly advance the communist Chinese government’s political and policy interests,” Grassley wrote.
“Secretive foreign lobbying and public relations campaigns by China and other adversaries undermines the political will and interests of the American people. The People’s Forum and Code Pink’s reported role in advancing policies in favor of the communist Chinese government is more than alarming and their potential obligation to register as foreign agents for purposes of FARA ought to be investigated,” Grassley continued.
Read Grassley’s letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel HERE.
Background:
Neville Roy Singham is a social activist and billionaire who reportedly “works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide.” Singham has reportedly attended Communist Party workshops focused on “promoting the party internationally,” shares office space and staff with the Shanghai Maku Cultural Communication Company and co-produces a YouTube show that’s partially financed by China’s propaganda department.
The People’s Forum, self-described as a “political and cultural hub,” is also funded in large part by Singham – who reportedly donated over $20.4 million through a series of shell organizations and donor advisory groups. The People’s Forum offers courses titled, “Lenin and the Path to Revolution” and “China75 – When the People Stand Up.” The group joined Code Pink in hosting a conference moderated by the Qiao Collective, known as “a diaspora Chinese media collective.” Further, the Executive Director of the People’s Forum openly pedaled Chinese propaganda when appearing on CGTN, a Chinese state-owned media group. DOJ directed CGTN to register under FARA in 2019.
Code Pink, self-described as a “grassroots organization working to end U.S. warfare and imperialism,” was founded by Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, and has reportedly received roughly a quarter of its donations from organizations with ties to Singham. Since marrying Singham in 2017, Evans and Code Pink have “stridently support[ed] China,” with Evans publicly describing the Uyghurs, an ethnically Muslim minority group, as “terrorists” and defending their mass detention. Further, Code Pink activists have met with the House Select Committee on China to directly advocate for Chinese interests, including denying evidence of forced labor in the Uyghurs’ native region of Xinjiang.

MacOS Preview equivalent
Title mostly says it all. Preview is unironically an incredible piece of software. Between feature set and ease of use, I have yet to come across any FOSS that is comparable. Anyone know of a Linux alternative?
EDIT: Due to popular demand I should explain Preview more. It’s a “fully fledged” PDF editor, but somehow it’s completely different from something like Adobe Acrobat. The way most users will interact with it is as a seemingly very plain image viewer, but if you open a PDF you can add fillable boxes, rearrange pages, split and merge PDFs, etc. I cannot place exactly why it’s workflows feel so much better than something like Acrobat.

Preview is one of the things mac os got right. it's hard to copy. If you think about it, it does not make sense that a tool called preview that most people use to quickly read pdf (and other) files, is also a lightweight pdf editor, which is often more useful than acrobat or pdfedit or whatever you use.
It's not logical. no one will make a clone of it.
you'll have to get used to other tools.
