 Someone needs to get a bunch of time-lapse videos of the planes laying the chemtrails, and them turning to yuck chemical clouds  
 I've only seen it once in real time here.

Southern Utah skies get hit a bunch, around St. George.

Did this on Android using "Photo Editor" by dev.macgyver

Is a great photo editing app for a phone.

Could've done a better job with Gimp, but I didn't fell like pullig out the laptop.

Back to work you tax slave. Make sure to fork over 40% of your money to the tyrannical oligarchs so they can pay their police goons to force you into compliance. Yes ... 40%. You don't see it because it's a litte here, a little there, sometimes hidden, like with gasoline taxes, and the 7.5% FICA your emoloyer pays for you.

 Dear socialists on #Nostr,

Libertarians and socialists could actually live together without any ... 
 Yes.  Socialism could work if it were voluntary and people weren't mooches.

Back in the 1800's The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) experimented with a voluntary form of it called "The United Order"

In a 1966 speech from one of the old LDS church presidents, he points out the key differences between The United Order and Communism/Socialism.

1. The United Order is 100% voluntary.

2. You can leave the United Order at any time.

3. You only donate your excess to the United Order, instead of everything being taken from you, like in communism.

4. You own private property in the United Order, unlike communism, which seeks to abolish private property (and seeks to abolish other forms of perceived "capital" such as earned standing, status and earned glory)

4. The United Order is under God's laws, not man's laws. (Being voluntary is evidence of this)

Here's the speach:

### XournalPP - Hand Written Note App for Linux Tablets

[XournalPP](https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp) is a good hand writing app for Linux Tablets. It should not be confused with "Xournal" without the "PP".  XournalPP is much more advance.

XournalPP can be used for things such as:

1. **Taking Notes** (of course)

2. **Annotating PDFs**, which puts the annotations in a separate file, without modifying the original PDF.

3. **Doing Homework Assignments**, which can be exproted to a PDF and turned in electronically.

To install the latest version on Ubuntu based distros, you can install the XournalPP official PPA repository:

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/xournalpp-stable

sudo apt update

sudo apt install xournalpp
```

Other installation options can be found on the [XournalPP installation page](https://xournalpp.github.io/installation/).

### Bitwarden Alternatives
(Bitwarden Commits Religious Discrimination)

BitWarden is a password manager that you can self-host. However, if you want all the features on your self-hosted instance, you must [get a license](https://bitwarden.com/help/licensing-on-premise/), which means it is not a true FOSS project.

Recently, in an act of aggression against Christianity, BitWarden fired a software VP for putting "Assigned by God" in his profile pronoun entry.  You can read about it 👉 [here](https://techstartups.com/2023/06/10/vp-of-cybersecurity-startup-bitwarden-fired-for-using-assigned-by-god-as-preferred-pronoun-sues-employer/).

**Alternative Password Managers**

1. [KeePassXC and KeePassDX](nostr:nevent1qqsv8tsu00dm6300ntsct72djaftr4866846yj2urfrwz8gdgczj4yqpz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzqndled79mkuzf8uu06uvy8spnuy0h7m7ch0d2sytv9zep04c6954qvzqqqqqqypmxlrs) are a password management duo that let you merge & sync your passwords on your DeGoogled phone with Linux computers, using a USB cable, without sending your password vault over the Internet

>Note: Nextcloud can also sync KeePass btwn devices, if you're OK with your pass vault being on your own cloud.

2. [Passman](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/passman) and [Nextcloud Passwords](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/passwords) apps are alternatives, which give you access to your passwords from any DeGoogled phone, or browser, using Nextcloud as your pass vault server.

3. [VaultWarden](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden) is a BitWarden compatible self-host alternative

### Fedora vs Debian vs Arch

For all practical purposes, most Linux distros are built on one of three base distributions.  Fedora .. Debian .. and Arch.

If you're curious what the differences are, the video below 👇 gives a good breakdown of these 3 base distros used for almost all Linux distributions.

https://youtu.be/UFv_uz5Rj18

Is it time to switch back to a Fedora based distro?  Haven't run that distro in years.

#Linux #Fedora #Debian #Arch #FreeYourTech 
 Chances are there's an Arch version of the package you want. 
 Linux is Linux... if you know it well enough.

Distro mainly determines package manager, and init system. You can put whatever desktop you want on any of them, and theme it how you want, and spend countless hours tweaking and setting it up how you like. Or you can run Mint, and do something else your life, like date women. 
 Mint nails it for non-normies too. I'm a Linux guru, but I have better things to do then to tinker with Gentoo or LFS.

 Damn meteors 
 Do you know democracy really is? It's what empowers the Deep State.

Democracy robs freedom of choice from minorities and from individuals.

Democracy IS the oppression.

Unalienable rights and individual free agency is a liberator.

Unalienable rights are rights that cannot be taken away, not even by a 100% majority rule vote.

Unalienable rights cannot be legislated away, they cannot be ruled away by any court, not even a supreme court, and government intstitutions cannot add qualifiers to them, or dilute them 
 As I've gotten a little older, I've started to learn that generational wealth has much less to do...

 ### Just Assume the Following About CBDCs

1. CBDCs will give authoritarian governments the power to micro-control citizen behavior, eroding financial privacy and autonomy.

2. CBDCs will be designed to track and monitor transactions, allowing governments to monitor citizens’ financial activities.

3. CBDCs will be used to restrict access to funds, freeze accounts, or impose blacklists, giving governments unprecedented control over citizens’ financial lives.

4. Lack of anonymity: Unlike cash, CBDCs do not provide the same level of privacy, making it easier for governments to identify and track individuals.

5. Dependence on government: CBDCs are issued and controlled by central banks, which wilk lead to a loss of financial independence and autonomy for citizens.

- Governments should not implement their CBDC plans, designs, and implementation.

- CBDCs should not exist ... ever.

- Citizens should have access to alternative forms of money, such as cash, to maintain financial autonomy.

 ### Set Up Fingerprint Reader in Linux Mint

>Note: This works on the Dell XPS-13 9635 2-in-1, and on the Dell Latitude 5400 fingerprint readers

>For XPS-13, swipe down over sensor. For Latitude 5400 press ... or swipe. The XPS-13 usually take a few tries.

1. Make sure your fingerprint device is compatible with Linux
	- type `lsusb`
	- check to see if the device is included on this website: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices
	- If `lsusb` shows a Broadcom device, you may be able to get the driver in the next step.

2. For Broadcom fingerprint devices, such as the "Broadcom Corp. 58200" on the Dell Latitude 5400. grab and install the latest .deb Broadcom driver package from this Ubuntu Canonical website: (Debian based distros only)

>Note: This link is not encrypted or secure
	- http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates/pool/public/libf/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/

- `libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom_5.12.018-0ubuntu1~22.04.01_amd64.deb` is what worked on the Dell Latitude 5400 running Mint 22.
3. Make sure fingerprint packages are installed.:
	```
	sudo apt install fprintd libpam-fprintd
	```
4. Enroll your fingerprints
	```
	fprintd-enroll -f right-index-finger <username>
	```
	
	- Here's a list of "fingerprint" options. Replace `right-index-finger` in the above command with one of these.
	  - left-thumb
	  - left-index-finger
	  - left-middle-finger
	  - left-ring-finger
	  - left-little-finger
	  - right-thumb
	  - right-index-finger
	  - right-middle-finger
	  - right-ring-finger
	  - right-little-finger.
5. Enable the fingerprint option in pam.  Hit space bare to enable an option.  Make sure to leave the other options enabled so if fingerprint fails you can still log in.
    `sudo pam-auth-update`
6. Set max fingerprint tries to a larger number, such as 5 or 10
	- edit the `/etc/pam.d/common-auth` file and set the `max_tries`  equal to something larger than 1.
  
```
sudo nano /etc/pam.d/common-auth
```

```
max_tries=10
```
7. Verify the fingerprint works
```
	fprintd-verify
```

## How to Configure and Use qBittorrent

#OpenSourceFreedomSoftware

You can get many things through Bittorrents. It is one of the best ways to download Linux distros, but only if you use the official bittorrent from the distro's website.

Downloading a distro via Bittorrent might make it look like you are grabbing movies or music, so here's how you set up qBittorrent to help keep yourself off of your ISP's radar.

Click each step to go to a more detailed tutorial for that step.

1. Enable Search

https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsyhrgjuquxccnjx9qvvt8fv8ksvpdczns50as2r7vg5hvqhrrj99spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3qfkluklzamwpyn7w8awxzrcqe7z8mldlvthk4gz9kz3vsh6udz62sxpqqqqqqz92zwjh (Watch the video )

2.  Require Encryption

https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsrg4pa7ghv0n2xlazrs57655j6qchrp92pjms8e7qn0l25h89cj7spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygzdhl9hchwmsfyln3lt3ss7qx0s37lm0mzaa42q3ds5ty97hrgkj5psgqqqqqqs290w70

3. Use a USA IP Blocklist

https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsxaytqcas69htug0lc6vskepyj4xsarczcy4hygsecv6a3l2dtlzgprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumfv3hxcctzwvhxump0qgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqp86fl50

4. Limit Number of Connections

https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqswlxx3uxqz6ufkgg8km8t9p47ry98j0sez0zq2s4t9rfugtsz6lwqprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumfv3hxcctzwvhxump0qgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqplqmzml

5. Limit Connection Speed

https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsdc60em6jg9n9yxxlr40uxagchl602rvvp30u9hlehks8gghdrg8qprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumfv3hxcctzwvhxump0qgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqp06mju8

6. Use a Different Port at Each Startup

https://primal.net/e/cnevent1qqstpa2zjdsh22pfn5f3vu8q8mxluuqpxdkgkk3l3328uhuylnsr0dcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygzdhl9hchwmsfyln3lt3ss7qx0s37lm0mzaa42q3ds5ty97hrgkj5psgqqqqqqss28t7d

7. Use a VPN with your system There are so many options on VPNs, so we're not going to attempt to tackle this

Most tutorials recommend you use a VPN, but you can try these settings, and if your ISP leaves you alone, no need to pay for a VPN.  If you get the letter, you can then get a VPN.

Note:  You can do the exact same things in Transmission (https://transmissionbt.com/), except search.
