Good evening. It's 10PM, Saturday, 27th September. The headlines: #England's women have clinched the #Rugby World Cup title. At the UN's 80th General Assembly, #Russia's Foreign Minister delivered a speech. Prince Harry claims attempts to thwart his reconciliation with the King. A political gathering in Tamil Nadu ended in tragedy, claiming over 35 lives. #BBC #News
Pequeño J nuovo re dei narcos: il ventenne Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, ricercato per tre omicidi e traffico di droga, sfugge a un blitz a Buenos Aires
But I can't find anything recent there. I can't find Spring or Sprite Fright, for instance.
I just want a little library of high quality 4k stuff to add to my jellyfin and peertube to demo on nice monitors and projectors, but all their links go to Youtube. Even their official peertube doesn't have high quality anything outside of big buck bunny 🤔
Where did they put the other films (for download)? I am happy to torrent them, but I'm also happy to just download a zip somewhere. I just want them ideally in 4k, but I'll settle for 1080p if they REALLY don't exist in 4k for the public.
Big Buck Bunny 60fps 4K - Official Blender Foundation Short Film
Enjoy this UHD High Frame rate version of one of the iconic short films produced by Blender Institute! Learn more about the project here bbb3d.renderfarming.net. Support more Open Content at cloud.blender.org.
NOTE: currently, YouTube allows 60fps only on 1080p videos. We uploaded the video in UHD, so maybe in the future it will be available in UHD 60p. You can download the original version at bbb3d.renderfarming.net.
I am unstoppable! I found every single film except one called Heros, but honestly it really really warms my heart to see such dedication to open source. Every single one of these is completely open source. You can download the assets and re-render it yourself if you want. The world is your oyster. They used to laugh at people using blender and say that it would never be a professional tool and now it is one of the tools to use for 3D work, and it's free! I love FOSS so much
Well he certainy knows what he needs to do tactically in order to continue the genocide. And we gotta keep ourselves informed about the new weapons of hasbara.
They absolute can whitewash it. There's a historical precedent for white washing war crimes over millennia. Generally you just have to dangle shiny objects in front of enough of the younger generation and they'll carry the worldview you feed them for a lifetime. Social media just makes it all the more easier.
They have done it over and over again. This is not Israel's first attempt at wiping out an entire Pestinian city yet most people acted as if it is and stayed silent for literal years.
They have enough money and friends in high places to recover from this, unfortunately, and they'll keep doing it until Palestine is no more.
And they won't stop there either. We're talking about a country that repeatedly invaded all of its neighbors. They won't stop there.
I don't know what Israel's term limits are or anything but I remember years ago learning he was on audio accepting a bribe and was probably going to be prosecuted. No wonder America and Israel are so friendly. Both corrupt to the core
design so good I didnt expect it to be actually entered into an contest when I first saw it. But yeah the diaper is probably a bit to much for general audiences 😞
Russian jets crossing into NATO airspace aren’t just minor provocations — they’re stress-tests of the alliance itself. What looks like a routine violation is actually a probe into NATO’s will to defend its most vulnerable frontier.
Jetzt habe ich endlich den Artikel von Leena Simon bei @digitalcourage gelesen. Hat sich gelohnt, so grundsätzlich. Darf gern jeder mit einem eigenen #Blog gelesen werden.
We went to buy our #Halloween pumpkins (early) at a local church we support. They buy exclusively from a Navajo tribe in NV, and the local church does a lot of nice things for young mothers.
They had their usual assortment of cool #pumpkins in addition to what they call "alien gourds, " which were even cooler than last year.
I've been seeing a lot of gaming chatter about how expensive new games and systems are, and the desire to revisit older games. I'm on board. It's been fun getting my old games to work on new devices.
Keep your old games, archive them, and tinker with them. There's never been a better time.
GOG allowing to buy and download the files for retro games, to keep playing them forever, is such a wonderful platform. Last year, I spent about $50 for like 6 older games, and I'll get about 1000 hours of fun offline gaming from that.
"Merz' militaristische Rhetorik nehme ständig zu & er brüste sich damit, die Verfassung geändert zu haben, um Deutschland militärisch wieder zu einer Großmacht machen zu können, ... "Wenn ein Mensch, dessen Land faschistische und nazistische Verbrechen, den Holocaust und den Genozid begangen hat, davon redet, dass Deutschland wieder eine militärische Großmacht werden solle, dann hat er Gedächtnisschwund – und das ist sehr gefährlich."
Russlands Außenminister Lawrow vor der UN-Generalversammlung
Der Gedanke, dass Deutschland militärische Großmacht werden will, erfüllt mich schon deshalb in große Sorgen, weil die Merz-Regierung mit ihrer desaströsen Politik ständig die faschistische AfD stärkt, anstatt sie zu bekämpfen. Michel Friedman ist deshalb zutiefst besorgt, dass Deutschland in 10 Jahren wieder zur faschistischen Diktatur werden könnte. Ich teile seine Sorgen.
Avete sentito / letto notizie in cui si attribuiva la responsabilità dei droni in Danimarca a un “attore professionista”, e vi siete chiesti cosa si intendesse? www.terminologiaetc.it/2025/09/27/s...
Hey #electronics hive mind, can I have your help please? We have a set of LED fairy lights with a little control module that has 8 modes, and we only use the 8th one, "constantly on". We'd like to fix it so it always comes on fixed in constant mode. Don't care about the other modes at all. I can see there are two channels - powering alternate LEDs on the rope, which are switched by two transistors, controlled by a chip under a resin blob. I tried bridging the bases of the transistors, but that just made the LEDs flicker. So I'm wondering if it's safe to just bypass them entirely by bridging the emitter and collector? As far as I can tell, the LEDs are being driven by raw 240v DC, coming straight out of a bridge rectifier from the mains. As the LEDs are in series, the village drop compounds, hence the high voltage. My reasoning is that if I bridge the transistors, the power will just go straight to both channels... But my understanding is pretty basic... If it helps here are two pics of both sides of the board. Yes, I know it's janky - I have plans to at least anchor the wires, but not until I've fixed this issue. (Sorry forgot to add images, done now)
So…this is it. The end of everything as we know it. The escalation that we’ve feared.
“Full force.”
Portland is about to become ground zero for live rounds and the civil war between fascism and everything that is good.
I’m very, very frightened for what is upon us here. In my own backyard, where kids are playing and people are walking by the river. The propaganda is insanity.
Please, whatever you do, stay safe. And don't forget to check in with us who are many miles away and worried. Be strong when you are able and lean on friends when you need rest.✊
there is a let out there. "all necessary troops" means NONE. A bit like a "well-regulated" militia, which would require gun-nuts to report for 2 months unpaid military training each year to learn the regulations, bone-spurs or not.
Last time we had a big bubble burst (2008, the subprime crisis), the investment dollars piled into commodities like grain futures that were perceived as "safe". Result: 1-2 years later crop prices soared—a major contributory factor if not THE trigger for the Arab Spring in 2011 and the Syrian and Libyan civil wars.
This time I expect they'll try and boost fossil fuel assets (to support the AI data centres that are going bust, natch). Cynical, moi? mastodon.social/@nixCraft/1152…

È scomparso oggi Enzo Osella, fondatore della storica scuderia piemontese. Da meccanico appassionato a costruttore, seppe trasformare un sogno in realtà, portando in pista le sue vetture contro i giganti della Formula 1.
