Police investigators in Russia’s Kaliningrad region on Monday discovered the decapitated body of the CEO of a local fertilizer company.

The chief executive, Alexei Sinitsyn, is believed to have died by suicide, according to a law enforcement source cited by the Vedomosti business newspaper.

Investigators told state news agencies that Sinitsyn’s body was found with an attached towing cable under a bridge outside the city of Kaliningrad. They said they were establishing the circumstances of his death.

Sinitsyn, 43, was the CEO of K-Potash Service, which has been developing the Nivensky-1 potassium-magnesium deposit in Kaliningrad since 2014. The ambitious project was originally planned to be launched in 2021, but has since been pushed back to 2032.

this is a common question and I spent some time trying to figure out how to get this working properly. so thought i'd share. this guide assumes you have decky-lsfg-vk installed and working properly, and this is just how to get it working with flatpaks.

requirements:

  1. Lossless Scaling (https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/)
  2. decky-lsfg-vk (https://github.com/xXJSONDeruloXx/decky-lsfg-vk)
  3. Flatseal (Get on Discover Store)

Install lsfg-vk flatpak:

  1. Download the two flatpak files

https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk/releases 2. Go to where you downloaded the two files, right-click and select "Open Terminal Here" 3. Paste these commands to install the files

flatpak install ./org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.lsfg_vk_23.08.flatpak

flatpak install ./org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.lsfg_vk_24.08.flatpak

it will ask you for your root password to install 4. Open Flatseal,

NOTE: you can decide whether to make this universal, or do it by app. i recommend you just do it for all, since this won't trigger unless you add the command

Select "All Applications" on the left, and scroll down to "Filesystem" on the right

Click the plus next to "Other Files" and add these 3 lines (click the + for every line)

/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Lossless Scaling/Lossless.dll

/home/deck/.config/lsfg-vk/:rw

/home/deck/lsfg:rw

Scroll down more to "Environment" and click the plus and add

LSFG_CONFIG=/home/deck/.config/lsfg-vk/conf.toml

If you prefer to do it per-app, instead of selecting "All Applications" do the steps for your desired app only. 5. Add the flatpak to Steam (if you already added skip this step) 6. In Steam, right-click your flatpak shortcut and click "Properties" 7. IMPORTANT: IN TARGET (NOT LAUNCH OPTIONS) put the decky-lsfg-vk command

~/lsfg

if it doesn't work, you can also try

/home/deck/lsfg

so it will look like this

~/lsfg "usr/bin/flatpak"

  1. And there you go, decky-lsfg-vk should be working.

edit: i forgot to change the generic path, fixed now

Millions of Australians are facing dire consequences caused by climate change, a landmark report has revealed.

Rising oceans and flooding caused by climate change will threaten the homes and livelihoods of over a million Australians by 2050, a report warned on Monday.

The National Climate Risk Assessment also warned that fatalities from heat-related illness will soar.

Australia will endure more frequent and extreme climate events, often happening simultaneously, which will put pressure on industry, services and infrastructure, the report found.

Hey there,

i have a domain (.de-domain, registered with netcup) that i would like to use for my email-provider, but i am hesitant.

Why i am hesitant: I don't want that people might be able to find out my name/adress that is registered with my domain. If some service does not need my personal data, i simply don't want them to be able to access them. It's as simple as that.

I read that a whois-check could reveal my data, but the situation seems more complicated. At least, i couldn't reveal my personal data with a whois-check.

Why i would like to use my own domain: I want to be more independent from my mail-provider.

I am not that tech-savvy, so sorry if this is a silly question. I tried searching, but didn't found anything, probably because keywords like domain bring up lots of different topics.

I've just started using PlainApp, and I am extremely impressed!

Corporate software (like Google or Apple) provides nice usability by integrating your phone into your desktop and other devices. That convenience comes at the price of real privacy and freedom. Android users can access their phones using an app like Microsoft's Phone Link or Google's Messages, while iPhone users can use Apple's iMessage or a 3rd party app. All of these apps require accounts and share your phone's private data over the Internet.

Linux users also have options like KDE Connect, Zorin Connect, GS Connect, etc. Most of these are environment specific, and often not well optimized for battery life, or have limited features.

Part of the reason that I removed Google from my phone and my life is to protect my privacy and secure my data. The process is not without growing pains. Since deGoogling, can't say the number of times that I get a link, file, etc. sent to my phone that I wish to access on the desktop. There are workarounds of course, but they can be tedious and sometimes complicated. Now it's easy!

PlainApp is an open source app that allows you to access your messages, files, calls, and has a ton of other features and capabilities. It works over your local network and uses strong encryption (according to their website it's TLS + AES-GCM-256, while the readme says it's TLS + XChaCha20-Poly1305). Since your data is encrypted and never leaves your network, you can trust that it is safe.

The interface is beautiful and so easy to navigate. Setup was a breeze, and leaves you with a local web app that does everything. Because it's a web interface, it works on any device with a browser.

Now I can send and receive SMS messages, share contacts, mirror my phone screen, easily view and share media, without touching my phone (or copying a message into an email, sending it to myself, then opening the email on the computer or some such nonsense.

I'd recommend it!

Looking for input. I’ve got a 4” to 1.5” flared flex cap for the base but trying to adjust the pipe ever so slightly seems to be troublesome. Any thoughts?
