Since when is aluminium biologically important? I'm under the impression that humans (and other life?) do not need aluminium at all.

Having said that, my info is that it's nothing to worry about. It is very common in food (naturally and since forever), and the body can get rid of it, and they haven't been able to show adverse effects except in very very high doses. That's the messaging I've been seeing anyway.

Die stb-care Holding GmbH betreibt das Heim seit 1. März.

Das ist so gewollt, irgendwas mit Markt und Wettbewerb. Das ist die effizienteste und rationalste Art um die gesamte Gesellschaft zu organisieren, das ist klar.

It actually starts, and then turns off. I didn’t notice it before you drew my attention.

That does sound like DPMS ("vesa display power management signaling") shenanigans though.

Maybe you can disable XFCE's display power management stuff completely? Systemd's logind (/etc/systemd/logind.conf) can do (and does by default I think) suspend on lid-close without any window manager involvement at all, works fine with i3 here. So disabling XFCE's stuff probably "only" messes with your monitor not going standby after a while, and you can maybe use xset or xscreensaver and set this by hand (after making sure it's actually properly disabled in XFCE, so XFCE doesn't override that stuff).

Found this about how to stop xfce4-power-manager and disable DPMS:

xfce4-power-manager -q
xset -dpms

Try doing that and see if lid close works afterwards.

Since that bug seems related to the X server somehow, I wonder if your monitor is showing black or actually off/standby (as in backlight off)?

If it's the backlight, maybe it's related to DPMS (monitor power management), and you can jolt it back to life with something like

xset dpms force on

after waking up. Or maybe disable DPMS completely and see if that changes anything.

It would also be interesting to know if this problem also happens outside of XFCE. If you just use (say) openbox (which I don't think does any power management or DPMS stuff by itself), does that work?

Btw, based on the name, and looking at the source, I think this block-rate-estim is a benchmark helper program for the libde265 video decoder. I think it takes in a file with log data (like debug output or something) and does some statistical calculation on it. My guess is the "block rate" is the speed/throughput.

It's not available on Debian here (not part of any package, i.e. not installed/compiled, not sure why ~~Fedora~~ Arch would include this in the package tbh), since I think it's supposed to be an internal dev tool or something like that.

It expects two arguments: a tag (whatever that is) and a filename for input data. It definitely doesn't understand --help and I suspect it endlessly loops when it doesn't get valid filename as the second argument.

I'm sticking to my hunch from my other comment, that it is one of your vim (or maybe shell) plugins. It possibly runs every binary installed on your system with --help, to provide some sort of autocomplete or something like that. If that is the case, that seems like a bad idea honestly.

I see no reason why FreeTube would run this, but if it did, it surely wouldn't incorrectly run it with just --help as an argument.

Maybe you have some sort of auto-completion plugin that attempts to parse --help output? And that particular binary doesn't understand --help probably.

Maybe try running pstree to see who spawns that process?

I know gv can auto-reload, though not sure if it's any faster or less flickery than evince or mupdf. Maybe worth testing.

Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock (Grüne) hat sich verärgert über Berichte geäußert, wonach es einen Streit zwischen ihr und dem israelischen Ministerpräsidenten Benjamin Netanjahu gegeben haben soll. "Der deutsche Botschafter in Israel, Steffen Seibert, war mit dem Stab des Premierministers in Kontakt und hat klargemacht, was wir von solchen verzerrenden Veröffentlichungen halten", sagte die Grünenpolitikerin am Rande des G7-Außenministertreffens auf die Frage eines Journalisten, ob sie über den Vorgang bereits mit Netanjahu gesprochen habe. (zeit.de)

Ich sehe da kein Rückgrat.

Und laut Spiegel hat Baerbock nur das gemacht:

Baerbock bat ihn dem Bericht zufolge, die Bilder nicht zu zeigen, da sie nicht der Realität im Gazastreifen entsprächen.

Da steht nicht, dass die auf den nachfolgenden Bullshit von Netanjahu irgendwie reagiert hat.

Ich fasse mal zusammen: Minimale Kritik geäußert an lachhaft-peinlicher Propaganda, dann Nazi-Vergleich über sich ergehen lassen, scheinbar ohne Widerworte. Und dann der Presse Verzerrung vorwerfen, wenn mal wer auch nur nachfragt. Hört sich das für dich an, als würde die da irgendwen "wie ein bockiges Kind direkt in die Schranken weisen"?

Zu deiner Meinung würde ich empfehlen, dass du mal wenigstes ein paar Minuten diese Interview-Antwort von Finkelstein anhörst, bevor du Palästinenser verurteilst, die sich mit den Kämpfern vom 7. Oktober solidarisieren:

They trade with all of them, so it's not like they have to choose.

Germany sells a ton of weapons to Israel, and they also buy weapons and surveillance tech from Israel. German foreign policy is basically copy-pasted from Washington, and they are all-in on the US empire (which the German capitalists benefit(ted) from massively, at least up to recently), so every reason the US has to support Israel also applies to Germany.

It also allows them to transfer their guilt/responsibility to Muslims, which are convenient punching bags for politicians to use in order to gather votes from the Islamophobic German public. And it makes (made?) them look good: they can pretend to have learned from the Nazi past, and pretend not be antisemites by getting approval from (Zionist) Jews, which, in the past, actually improved their image domestically and internationally (in the all-important West at least). And, like I said before, it gives them an air of moral superiority and righteousness to pretend they're totally reformed, no longer Nazis, seen the error of their ways (swear to god!). And they can lord that over their enemies, and use it to convince the public to support military aggression in the name of defeating another Hitler, or preventing another Holocaust (which is Germany's special responsibility, you see!).

With what Israel is doing right now, and social media showing the utter horror, it no longer looks very good internationally, but domestically, pro-Israel sentiment among the German public (and even more so institutionally and and in the press) is still incredibly high, so saying the most unhinged pro-Israel shit is actually genuinely popular. And with the repression of pro-Palestinian voices that's not going to change anytime soon either. People are genuinely afraid to speak up, lest they get fired, smeared, blacklisted, or arrested. German language media is like US media from 30 years ago in terms of uncritical pro-Israel views.

Two things, yes. I can't be trusted to time anything by myself just by looking at the clock, and you often have multiple things cooking at the same time.
