Kenku
Kenku (pronounced: /kɛŋˈkuː/ keng-KOO[5] or: /ˈkɛŋkuː/ KENK-oo[5]) were a race of flightless avian humanoids. They tended to be selfish and secretive in nature and were often engaged in plots to acquire wealth and power.Contributors to Forgotten Realms Wiki (Fandom, Inc.)

Tournai : des manifestants prennent pour cible un bâtiment où est stocké du matériel militaire - RTBF Actus
Que se passe-t-il à Tournai ce lundi matin ? Un hélicoptère survole la ville et des policiers sont déployés sur place....Par @lisa-beken-252 (RTBF.be)
#IdiotInChief #Trump on Sunday called into question the future of #Iran’s ruling theocracy after a surprise attack on 3 of the country’s #nuclear sites, contradicting his admin’s earlier calls to resume negotiations & avoid an escalation in fighting.
“It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???” Trump posted on social media. “MIGA!!!”
But beyond that, the world is awash in #uncertainty at a fragile moment that could decide whether parts of the globe tip into #war or find a way to salvage a relative peace. #Trump’s warning to Iran’s leadership comes as the #US has demanded that #Iran not respond to the bombardment of the heart of a #nuclear program that it spent decades developing.
The #Trump admin has made a series of intimidating statements even as it has simultaneously called to restart negotiations, making it hard to get a complete read on whether the #US president is simply taunting an adversary or using inflammatory words that could further widen the war between #Israel & #Iran that began earlier this month.
[trying to make sense of the senseless]
Up until #Trump’s post on Sunday afternoon, the coordinated messaging by the VP, #Pentagon chief, top #military adviser & secretary of #state suggested a confidence that any fallout would be manageable & that Iran’s lack of military capabilities would ultimately force it back to the bargaining table.
#Hegseth had said that America “does not seek war” with #Iran, while #JDVance said the strikes have given Tehran the possibility of returning to negotiate with Washington.

The image shows a white garment, possibly a hat or a head covering, packaged in a clear plastic bag. The bag is sealed, with the top edge slightly open, revealing the item inside. The garment has a rounded shape with two black circular elements that resemble eyes, suggesting it might be a novelty item or costume accessory. The plastic bag is placed on a wooden surface, which appears to be a table or countertop, with visible wood grain patterns. The lighting in the image is soft and diffused, casting gentle shadows on the surface. The background is slightly blurred, with hints of other objects, but the focus remains on the packaged item.

A few days ago I spent a little bit of time looking at #PeerTube, to see if it can replace YouTube yet.
I tried and failed to set up an instance on my own server, because it doesn't have enough RAM to keep up with transcoding.
I made an account on cuddly.tube: @christianp@cuddly.tube, and had a go at live streaming there but I don't think it kept up. I also uploaded a short video: cuddly.tube/w/sMqkvBnzeLk1UtY4….
Are there any PeerTube instances that can reliably live stream? I don't mind paying my way in.
Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.
I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23…
Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.
I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.
I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.
My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!
Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

The video begins with two men in a dimly lit room, one in a beige trench coat and the other in a light blue suit, engaged in a tense conversation. The man in the trench coat appears distressed, while the man in the suit leans forward, suggesting a confrontational interaction. The scene transitions to the man in the suit walking away down a corridor lined with shelves, indicating a shift in focus or a change in the situation. The corridor is dimly lit, with a green exit sign visible in the distance, adding to the somber atmosphere.
As the man in the suit continues down the corridor, the man in the trench coat follows, maintaining the tension. The corridor is flanked by shelves filled with files, emphasizing the institutional setting. The man in the suit reaches a door at the end of the corridor, opens it, and steps through, leaving the man in the trench coat behind. The scene then shifts to a different room where the man in the trench coat is on the floor, seemingly in distress, while another man in a dark suit kneels beside him, possibly offering assistance. A woman in a light-colored dress and another man in a light blue suit enter the room, observing the situation. The video concludes with the group standing around the man on the floor, suggesting a moment of concern or intervention.
