Full statement from the Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhni:

"They wanted to disband the Wagner military company. We embarked on a march of justice on 23 June.

In 24 hours, we got to within 200 km of Moscow. In this time we did not spill a single drop of our fighters' blood.

Now the moment has come when blood could be spilled. Understanding responsibility [for the chance] that Russian blood will be spilled on one side, we are turning our columns around and going back to field camps as planned."

Nice to see #Mastodon is becoming as good as #Twitter used to be in it's heyday when global news is breaking.

Screw it - if we're gonna have a nuclear war with Russia I'm having unprotected sex.

Please boost!

To anyone in #Moscow or #Rostov, please post any eyewitness footage of what's going on there

Okay. I’ll cage fight a billionaire if they pay off my Honda Civic.

The situation in Russia, is now surely past the point of no return, it has to now be concluded with either the death or arrest of Putin, otherwise he will come back, may be not stronger but far more brutal than we can imagine. This could result in him bombing / killing his own people (Like saddam and others have done) in order to plant his absolute authority on the country and anyone who stands in his way will meet an untimely and perhaps brutal demise.

My evidence for this could be more rooted in the fact those who oppose putin have fallen out of windows of multi storey buildings, one or two people may be rather clumsy, but quite a few have met this end, not to mention use of nerve agents etc.

Look at that: they're actually being welcomed as liberators.

Indeed.

We have long since established that The Simpsons is a deep source of wisdom on your tiny planet.

Watching the unfolding coup in Russia with interest. The outcome will very much depend on whom the military back. One wonders whether Putin has overplayed his hand and the humiliation of the Russian military has become too much for them to bear?

Psst... Seems like the Chinese Government wants to censor this song all over the world.

What say you, Fediverse, should we repost this a little bit?

Ok I'm gonna bitch about my research for a sec because I'm stressed out from our meeting today.

I contend that an affordance of literacy is actually identity, ie: sense of who you are in an information space affects where you think you can go.

But now we're back to "You're developing a framework for design thinking of literacy in complex information spaces" and I hate that bc we're back to reducing things to systems, which.

I mean safety is social.

How does the fediverse plan on becoming more diverse?

@zleap yeh, you can bet that Ukraine are already taking advantage of it, especially in the western areas of the frontline

It turns out that this isn't the first time RHEL non-compliance concerns over the GPL have come up, let analysis from @conservancy

"Due to this ongoing bad behavior by IBM's Red Hat, the situation has become increasingly complex and difficult to face. No third party can effectively monitor RHEL compliance with the GPL agreements, since customers live in fear of losing their much-needed service contracts."

Perhaps the Wagner group should take a leaf from Saddam Hussains playbook. Back in 1991, Saddam forced RAF pows to go on camera and denounce the invasion. Granted they were clearly beaten up in order to make them do this.

The Russian people clearly need to be told the truth as to what has been going on in Ukraine, it has been a war all along, soldiers are badly equipped and losses have been huge on the russian side alone. Importantly say that you, the russian people have been lied to all along.

If this comes from the current russian military,it may be something that the russian people actually listen to. But will then focus anger on the leadership.

Given the losses, this is a lot of Mothers who have lost sons, or husbands for what seems to be to satisfy the ego of the leadership, they won't be happy and may actually rise up.

Girkin claims that Wagner forces have entered Voronezh also without encountering resistance. Next stop Moscow? t.co/Wwqx4gM3Qm

Watching the Watchers with Nancy Grace Roman

Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets using the transit technique, watching how distant stars dim as a planet passes in between us and the star. A small group of stars is lined up so alien astronomers can discover Earth using the same transit technique. In a new paper, researchers suggest that the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Telescope should scan this Earth's transiting zone for habitable planets. If there are other advanced civilizations there, they should know we're here and would be the ideal places to search for signs of intelligence.

Cool thanks, just installing now so will take a look at the man page too.

Just asking here in case anyone, withj decent bash expertise can help please.

Having copied files from an old PVR (digitial video recorder thingy) we have files such as this

New:.1864-2015-May-30.20:02:17.307534.nts
New:.1864-2015-May-30.20:02:17.307534.ts
New:.1864-2015-May-30.21:00:30.091333.hmt
New:.1864-2015-May-30.21:00:30.091333.nts
New:.1864-2015-May-30.21:00:30.091333.ts

These are on my main computer hard disk, I have a 2nd that is currently FAT32 (I think) but I can't copy these files due to the characters in the filename.

Is there a easy way to take these files, and rename them so I can stripo out all but the final period (which is between '091333.ts' for example.

I am running Debian, and it wom't let me copy over to the other HDD, While I can do this manually there are LOTS of files. So there has to be a way to do this, perhaps a combination of

rename , sed or other commands.

Any pointers welcome please.

Thanks

Paul
