Alter Bridge - Phönix aus der Asche von Creed
Die Geschichte von Alter Bridge beginnt nicht mit einem vorsichtigen Kennenlernen, sondern mit einem radikalen Neuanfang. Im Jahr 2004 befand sich die Rockwelt im Umbruch, als eine der kommerziell erfolgreichsten Bands der späten Neunziger, Creed, aufgrund interner Spannungen zerbrach.

Liebe Clubtänzer und Musikzuhörer,
am Dienstag den 27. Januar ab 20:00 Uhr öffnet die Musikalische Rumpelkiste ihren Deckel um wieder einmal eine "wilde Mischung" in die Ohren zu pusten: Musik ohne Thema - und wünschen könnt Ihr auch. Wenn ich das im Archiv habe was Ihr wünscht kommt es aus der Rumpelkiste frisch in den Aether.
Bis morgen - wir freuen uns auf Euch alle.
P.S. Vormusik wieder ab 19:30
Dear club dancers and music lovers,
On Tuesday, January 27th, starting at 8:00 PM, the Musical Junk Box opens its lid once again to blast a "wild mix" into your ears: music without a theme – and you can even make requests. If I have what you're looking for in the archives, it will be freshly played from the Junk Box into the airwaves.
See you tomorrow – we're looking forward to seeing you all.
P.S. Pre-show music starts again at 7:30 PM.

Monster dump of 900GB in size:
IMPORTING A HUGE MYSQL/MARIADB DUMP FROM WINDOWS TO DEBIAN
This guide describes a proven and stable way to import a very large
MySQL/MariaDB dump (hundreds of GB to ~1 TB) from a Windows server into
MariaDB on a Debian server.
The procedure avoids double disk usage, survives network disconnects,
and prevents common errors like “server has gone away”.
----------------------------------------------------------
PREREQUISITES
----------------------------------------------------------
- Windows Server with dump.sql (e.g. D:.sql) - Debian
Server with enough free disk space - MariaDB installed and
running - Root access to MariaDB - Network access between
Windows and Debian
----------------------------------------------------------
1. WINDOWS: SHARE THE DUMP DIRECTORY
- The dump file is located on drive D:
- Share the drive (or directory) via Windows file sharing (SMB)
- Example: Share name: d Path: D:
- Grant read permissions to the Administrator account
----------------------------------------------------------
2. DEBIAN: MOUNT WINDOWS SHARE (CIFS/SMB)
----------------------------------------------------------
Install required tools: apt install -y cifs-utils screen
Create mount point: mkdir -p /mnt/windowsdump
Mount the Windows share: mount -t cifs //WINDOWS_IP/d
/mnt/windowsdump -o username=Administrator,vers=3.0
Verify: ls -lh /mnt/windowsdump You should see dump.sql.
----------------------------------------------------------
3. PREPARE MARIADB FOR LARGE IMPORTS
Create the target database: mysql -u root -p CREATE DATABASE griddb;
EXIT;
Create configuration file: nano
/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/99-bigimport.cnf
Content: [mysqld] max_allowed_packet=1G net_read_timeout=600
net_write_timeout=600 wait_timeout=28800 interactive_timeout=28800
Restart MariaDB: systemctl restart mariadb
Verify setting: mysql -u root -p -e “SHOW VARIABLES LIKE
‘max_allowed_packet’;”
----------------------------------------------------------
4. START THE IMPORT SAFELY USING SCREEN
----------------------------------------------------------
Start a screen session: screen -S sqlimport
Run the import: mysql –max_allowed_packet=1G -u root -p
griddb < /mnt/windowsdump/dump.sql
Detach screen (import keeps running): CTRL + A, then D
----------------------------------------------------------
5. MONITORING
Check if import is running: ps aux | grep mysql
You should see: mysql –max_allowed_packet=1G -u root -p griddb
CPU and disk usage are expected to be high.
----------------------------------------------------------
6. COMPLETION
----------------------------------------------------------
The import is finished when the mysql process disappears.
Unmount the Windows share: umount /mnt/windowsdump
----------------------------------------------------------
COMMON ERRORS AND SOLUTIONS
ERROR 2006 (server has gone away): - Increase max_allowed_packet -
Increase net_read_timeout / net_write_timeout
Packet bigger than max_allowed_packet: - Ensure both server and client
use 1G packet size
Import aborted due to network loss: - Always run the import inside
screen
-------
NOTES
-------
- Imports of this size may take 12–36 hours
- Silence during import is normal
- Do not interrupt the process

so i am working on the Japanese expansion for VivoSim and have changed some information.
Current Gardens & Fields:
(removed and moved plants, more to come.
Imo Hatake (tubers)
Kokumotsu (grains)
Konsai (root vegetables)
Soryo (fodder)
Yasai (vegetable).
Habu (herbs)
I will be changing the growth times, stats (for the HUD) and redoing the containers in Japanese style.
I'm testing them now. I have changed the "gardens" and fields to be more specific.
Trees will take a bit longer since there are more of them, but I also have trees that give wood (and other byproducts) as well as fruits/nuts
It has been a lot of work, but i am very happy with the outcomes.
I am hoping to have most of the gardens done this week.
all in all, i am looking at 118 "new" plants/trees.

I just put up another update. I swear this should be last for a while...so tired...:-)
I added a cache meter up top ...one for mesh...one for texture cache.
I added an empty cache button that EMPTIES the texture cache.
No more tree stumps neccessary!
I also Limited the draw distance on mirrors. Seemed to help CONSIDERABLY with lag when they were on.
just hit the button at http://maze.bz for the viewer
I also ALTERED ROBUST...I believe I FIXED that tp home issue finally!For all you that have been FRUSTRATED by not being able to tp home when hypergridding add this

I have a project coming out for public beta test soon and I thought that now would probably be a good time to share 10 RULES of TECH SUPPORT!
MY PERSONAL TECH SUPPORT RULES ANYWAY.
(Please Read Before Speaking)
Rule one: the computer did exactly what you told it to do, not what you meant. It is not psychic. It is not creative. It is aggressively literal and has no emotional attachments to you..
Rule two: the documentation exists for a reason. Skipping it and asking for help is like ignoring the map, driving into a lake, and calling to complain about the water.
Rule three: “It doesn’t work” is not useful information. That is a feeling. Feelings are valid. They are not diagnostic.
Rule four: when I am explaining something, this is not a discussion. This is the part where you stop talking and listen. Questions are welcome after the explanation, not during the sentence you interrupted.
Rule five: something changed. It always does. The system did not wake up this morning and choose chaos. You, time, or physics touched it. Figure out which.
Rule six: support cannot fix what you refuse to describe. If you changed something “small” and didn’t mention it, congratulations—you have just doubled the troubleshooting time.
Rule seven: urgency does not make you right. Saying “this is critical” does not rewrite reality; it just raises everyone’s blood pressure.
Rule eight: software does not include common sense. That must be provided by the user. If a warning says “don’t do this” and you do it anyway, the outcome is not mysterious.
Rule nine: if you ignore instructions, you own the result. This is not punishment. This is cause and effect.
Rule ten: If the source code tells you not to do something, there is a valid reason. Disobey at your own peril.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Please RTFM again.
MY PERSONAL TECH SUPPORT RULES ANYWAY.
(Please Read Before Speaking)
Rule one: the computer did exactly what you told it to do, not what you meant. It is not psychic. It is not creative. It is aggressively literal and has no emotional attachments to you..
Rule two: the documentation exists for a reason. Skipping it and asking for help is like ignoring the map, driving into a lake, and calling to complain about the water.
Rule three: “It doesn’t work” is not useful information. That is a feeling. Feelings are valid. They are not diagnostic.
Rule four: when I am explaining something, this is not a discussion. This is the part where you stop talking and listen. Questions are welcome after the explanation, not during the sentence you interrupted.
Rule five: something changed. It always does. The system did not wake up this morning and choose chaos. You, time, or physics touched it. Figure out which.
Rule six: support cannot fix what you refuse to describe. If you changed something “small” and didn’t mention it, congratulations—you have just doubled the troubleshooting time.
Rule seven: urgency does not make you right. Saying “this is critical” does not rewrite reality; it just raises everyone’s blood pressure.
Rule eight: software does not include common sense. That must be provided by the user. If a warning says “don’t do this” and you do it anyway, the outcome is not mysterious.
Rule nine: if you ignore instructions, you own the result. This is not punishment. This is cause and effect.
Rule ten: If the source code tells you not to do something, there is a valid reason. Disobey at your own peril.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Please RTFM again.

In the long distant past, my commentary on current events would be published by the local papers. In the somewhat more recent past, I would have posted this on Google Plus, where I had 10,000+ followers (most of them were, admittedly, fake Russian accounts). I don’t have quite the reach now on the few social media accounts I use. So I’m posting here, among mostly friends, while I decide how and where-else to post this on-line. Feel free to pass this along in whatever fashion you like.
The Execution of Alex Jeffrey Pretti
The man fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in the morning of Saturday, January 24th in Minneapolis was Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Mr. Pretti, who was 37, was a registered nurse who worked in the intensive-care unit at the Veterans Affairs hospital. According to friends, he wanted to be a ‘force of good in the world.’ He was, but can be no longer. He was not just shot by Border Patrol agents. He was executed.
Almost immediately after agents shot Mr. Pretti, federal officials claimed that he had endangered agents with a gun he was carrying, and some later accused him of “domestic terrorism.” But videos on social media that were verified by The New York Times appear to contradict portions of the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting. But let’s not, for the moment, debate about why the shooting happened. It happened. And what happened after is what made this not just a shooting. It was an execution.
Border Patrol agents threw Mr. Pretti to the ground and, within seconds, four or five agents started shooting him. Ten shots were fired. Afterwards, when agents could have been rendering first aid, they appeared to be inspecting the body, counting the number of bullet wounds. Like you might count the number of hits on a target at the shooting range.
There were five or more bullet wounds, three of them to his back.
A doctor on the scene told an agent that they were a physician and asked to check Mr. Pretti. He was initially refused, but eventually allowed to go to Mr. Pretti after being patted down. “Normally, I would not have been so persistent,” the doctor said in their statement, “but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.”
Law enforcement officers are generally expected to render first aid after a shooting once the scene is safe and the threat has been neutralized. This expectation is rooted in federal policies, state laws, and professional standards. Once a person is incapacitated or arrested, they are considered to be in the officer's care, making the officer responsible for their safety and treatment. But the agents were not rendering first aid. And when the doctor asked if Mr. Pretti had a pulse, the agents allegedly stated they did not know.
The agents did not take Mr. Pretti’s pulse. They hadn’t applied first aid. Rendering first aid is what you do after a shooting. It’s not what you do after an execution.
This mirrors a similar shooting on January 7, 2026, involving Renée Good, where a doctor was recorded asking to check the victim's pulse. The doctor was initially told "No." The agent said "I don't care."
We do care. We should care. We should do something to stop the shootings and the deliberate indifference of federal agents.
We should do something to stop the executions.
