I've recently suggested a wifi extended/repeater to a friend of mine as his wifi signals stuggles to reach his room. I've read about wifi repeaters and suggested one to my Friend. He bought one hearing my suggestion and fu*ked up.

The repeater caused huge jitter and latency and made the internet unusable. Luckily he doesn't remember who suggested it🤷‍♂️

Following President Donald Trump’s Sunday morning Truth Social post detailing his intent to further break international law by bombing Iran’s power plants and civilian infrastructure, the message sent by numerous critics to White House officials, the US Congress, and US allies was the same: “Act now to stop this lawless war.” That demand was made by Just Security editor and Rutgers University…

Chris Roberts speaks to 9 News Australia about Star Citizen and Squadron 42.

​We have Stremio for movies and TV, which works flawlessly by pulling from different sources (add-ons) including torrents into one clean UI. But when it comes to music, the options are either paying for Spotify/Tidal or dealing with clunky, manual setups.

I’ve seen apps like ViMusic or Innertune, but they are mostly just YouTube Music frontends. Soulseek is a p2p service and the usability is horrible.
I'm talking about a true, modular aggregator. That uses torrents and lossless databases.

The Official Language Act (No. 33 of 1956), commonly referred to as the Sinhala Only Act, was an act passed in the Parliament of Ceylon in 1956. The act replaced English with Sinhala as the sole official language of Ceylon, with the exclusion of Tamil from the act.

At the time, Sinhala (also known as Sinhalese) was the language of Ceylon's majority Sinhalese people, who accounted for around 70% of the country's population. Tamil was the first language of Ceylon's three largest minority ethnic groups, the Indian Tamils, Sri Lankan Tamils and Moors, who together accounted for around 29% of the country's population.

The act was controversial as its supporters saw it as an attempt by a community that had just gained independence to distance themselves from their colonial masters, while its opponents viewed it as an attempt by the linguistic majority to oppress and assert dominance on minorities. The Act symbolizes the post-independent Sinhalese majority's determination to assert Ceylon's identity as a Sinhala Buddhist nation state, and for Tamils, it became a symbol of minority oppression and a justification for them to demand a separate nation-state, Tamil Eelam, which was a factor in the emergence of the decades-long Sri Lankan Civil War.

The policy turned out to be "severely discriminatory" and placed the Tamil-speaking population at a "serious disadvantage". As a Sinhalese academic A. M. Navaratna Bandara writes: "The Tamil-speaking people were given no option but to learn the language of the majority if they wanted to get public service employment. [...] A large number of Tamil public servants had to accept compulsory retirement because of their inability to prove proficiency in the official language [....]" It also entailed that a Sinhalese officer working in Tamil areas was exempted from learning Tamil, but a Tamil officer working in even Tamil areas had to learn Sinhala. The effects of these policies were dramatic as shown by the drastic drop of Tamil representation in public sector: "In 1956, 30 percent of the Ceylon administrative service, 50 percent of the clerical service, 60 percent of engineers and doctors, and 40 percent of the armed forces were Tamil. By 1970 those numbers had plummeted to 5 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent, and 1 percent, respectively." For much of the 1960s government forms and services were virtually unavailable to Tamils, and this situation only partly improved with later relaxations of the law.

The bill (HB 399) has been criticized by Miami Beach officials because it allows the development to move forward without being cleared by the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board. The Miami Beach Commission had urged DeSantis to veto the bill.

Other legislation signed by DeSantis includes a measure (SB 386) requiring farm equipment manufacturers to repair, replace or compensate a consumer if the equipment breaks down within the warranty period. Manufacturers, though, don’t have to comply if the breakdown is the result of neglect or improper modifications made by the consumer.

The other bills signed by DeSantis include a measure (HB 569) to allow the Agency for Persons with Disabilities to house criminal defendants who need to be restored to competency to be housed with defendants whose charges have been dismissed, and a measure (HB 844) adding the treatment of pain for patients with sickle cell disease to the standard education course on prescribing controlled substances.

A pair of bills (HB 1443, HB 1445) require the University of South Florida to create a registry of Parkinson’s Disease patients and exempt the registry from public records laws. Another measure (HB 7011) extends a public records exemption for aquaculture data held by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services that was set to expire in October.

"We're about to fly around the Moon.

On Monday, April 6, the four astronauts of Artemis II will travel farther from Earth than any humans in history—breaking the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970.

They'll sail around the far side of the Moon, photographing lunar features never before seen by human eyes. At their closest point, they'll pass roughly 4,000 miles above the lunar surface.

Highlights include:

• 1:56 p.m. EDT (1756 UTC): Artemis II crew surpasses the Apollo 13 distance record

• 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 UTC): Lunar observation period begins

• 6:47 p.m. EDT (2247 UTC): Predicted loss of communications as Artemis II heads behind the moon (roughly 40 minutes)

• 7:02 p.m. EDT (2302 UTC): Artemis II's closest approach to the Moon

• 7:05 p.m. EDT (2305 UTC): Artemis II reaches its furthest distance from Earth"
