RUNNING FROM DEATH
The population of northern Gaza Strip is fleeing to the south.
Israel's Gideon’s chariots operation hasn’t moved to the ground maneuver phase of their cleansing of Gaza.
Air raids and artillery are used first to get the population out.
Meanwhile, 500,000 Gazans are in danger of starving to death. No food or water is being let into the area by Israel.
Trump and Netanyahu's plan to remove the residents of Gaza!

On this day 35 years ago, TGV unit 325 set the land speed record at 515.3 km/h on the LGV Atlantique.
This beat the previous record set by the same train on the 5th December 1989 of 482 km/h
Both these records managed to surpass the record set by an experimental ICE prototype in West Germany in 1988, which was 406.9 km/h on the Hannover-Würzburg line, thus establishing French engineering as superior to the German, at least on speed.
This record stayed current until 2007, when SNCF topped this with a TGV POS setting the new record at 568 and then 574,8 km/h.
TGV 325 is now decommissioned, and is kept at the Cité du Train in Mulhouse.

Portugal: Young men five times more likely to vote for the far-right than women
The author of the report, who is an analyst at the European Policy Centre, explains that far-right movements have been able to take advantage of the frustration of young men under 25 over the 'loss of a stable job and financial independence', which are 'traditional markers of masculinity'.

Friendica.world maintenance
Today starting 19:30 CET / 17:30 UTC we will be doing maintenance on friendica.world. Some downtime may occur, this time planned...
We'll be taking a next step in trying to fix the performance of this instance, we'll move the frontend processes to separate VMs, so the physical box will only have the database to worry about.
With this we can better scale the frontend, and after that we can focus on getting the database performance improved.

Man muss sich schon mittenrein in den Gedankengut-Misthaufen der AfD gesetzt und sehr tief inhaliert haben,
um zu glauben, Grüne seien der "Hauptgegner",
aber ein Verbot der demokratie- und menschenverachtenden Rechtsextremisten der AfD rieche nach "Beseitigung" legitimer "Konkurrenz".

The reason is easy - you can probably already guess that there might be some thermal problems raising on the left picture. It resulted into permanently spinning & annoying fans. Also the temperatures went a way too high. So, easy solution - everything moved into a metal shoe rack under my working desk. From ~80°C CPU temperature it dropped to ~65°C without spinning fans.
