    Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.

    While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that’s their intention and that they’d get comparable effects.

    I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, “Peculiar Potions”.

    I’m not really sold on how well that content was researched.








  • Honestly, that just seems like you’re treating dd as some kind of arcanum. dd works just fine and I’ve been doing 1:1, full system backups for decades with it, no issues. Honorary mention for ddrescue / dd_rescue for recovery options, i. e. re-trying bad sector reads etc.

    In fact, when Clonezilla doesn’t know your filesystem, it will simply employ dd to copy the data sector by sector.

    I’d argue that Clonezilla (due to its use of partclone) is actually a less complete form of backup, since it will only copy used blocks, you don’t really end up with a clone of your devices, just a copy of what partclone believes to be your data. Don’t get me wrong, that is fine in most use cases, but there are some cases where this doesn’t cut it, e. g. wanting to backup / restore a storage device from a PLC where the vendor had the glorious idea to store licensing data in unused sectors, or when you want to create a forensic disk image, might want it look into d3dd then, although it absolutely works using regular old dd as well, d3dd just adds some amenities.

    All I want to say is: dd is an absolutely reliable tool and can be a one stop solution for device backups. Also, I have absolutely no quarrels with Clonezilla, if it fits what you’re trying to do and it works, great.

    Yikes. If the second sentence of your ad reads So instead of blaming him […] she should question herself, we’re in for a good time. And that’s not even touching the idea that his many neglects can be explained away by what exactly, pussy odor?

    Not a doctor here, but I’m being told applying a disinfectant might not be the best idea, although the medical details are by far not the bleakest thing about this ad.

    To be fair, before it was promoted like this, it was actually used in Germany to combat Cholera. This dystopian marketing we see here is a US invention.

    Fun fact: early Lysol was really poisonous and was used as the suicide poison in the beginning of the 20th century, readily available and all. It was also used for homemade abortions.


  • The best way would in fact be testing it with an electronic load that applies a precise and well known load to the battery and integrates capacity until a matching shutoff condition is reached.

    However, the majority of people do not happen to have access to such an instrument, so I’d say your suggestion is a close approximation of the best way, which could be augmented by adding simple measurements, which can be done by most people at home for a reasonable, quantifiable judgment.


  • Your USB ethernet adapter is down according to this output.

    In case Ubuntu server comes with e. g. dhclient installed, you should be able to get a working network connection by ensuring a cable is properly plugged into your USB ethernet adapter and running

    sudo dhclient -v enx949aa9857457

    You might want to post the output of that command here. Alternatively, configure the USB adapter using one of the management tools mentioned in this thread already.
