THE NUCLEAR HOAX

 Big ups to Dr Tom, he is one of very people to publicly expose some of the biggest scams in human history. Not only is he showing that viruses don't exist, he is also demonstrating that "nuclear bombs" are complete bullshit as well.

 As I've found out from my own posting on this subject, it really triggers a lot of people - https://sift666.blogspot.com/2025/07/no-nukes.html

STARTING OVER AGAIN

SIFT LINUX PAGE UPDATE

 

 To help people making the switch to Linux I started compiling my Linux posts into a SIFT LINUX PAGE back in 2024, but it became a jumbled mess and needed a tidy up. So I decided to start over again and make it all as simple as possible. 

One way to simplify things is to have a list of links back to original posts rather than trying to copy and paste them all into one big page.

LINUX POSTS ON THIS BLOG (newest at top) 

 AM I AN IDIOT? - Self doubts about my geek skills 

BTW I USE ARCH - Some memes to troll Linux Arch geeks

WHICH LINUX DISTRO? - I really only recommend two, either Mint or Zorin

ONLINE PRIVACY - A few ways to keep hold of a bit of privacy

TESTING OUT FOSS - There is masses of Free Open Source Software (FOSS)

LINUX NEEDS MORE BROWSERS - My issues with Linux file browsers

RETURNING TO LINUX - Why I quit Windows & moved to Linux

LINUX MISINFORMATION -  Yes, even Linux reviews are full of lies 

 

My Linux info is not aimed at geeks, it's for people who have been using Windows or Apple computers, and want to move to Linux in search of privacy and security, or for ethical reasons.

As with most subjects, with Linux there is far too much complexity and misinformation online, and that is often just confusing rather than helpful.

An ever increasing number of people are now asking about Linux. In the past this was mainly just an idle curiosity, but now they are seriously looking for an alternative to Windows or Apple. 

Linux was originally aimed mainly at geeks and was fairly difficult for regular computer users to come to terms with. When I first tried Linux Ubuntu in 2010, after about a month I gave up and went back to Windows XP.

Back in 2010 I did a page about Linux "LINUX A n00b goes for a test drive" which is still online, but despite having had a quick update in 2016, it's mostly out of date now.

With the benefit of hindsight, Windows XP was actually a pretty good operating system, as were Windows 2000 and Windows 7. But things have really changed since those days, and Microsoft are no longer even trying to hide their evil intentions.

For me Windows ended with Windows 7. Windows 11 is full on spyware and Microsoft is clearly aiming to build an AI operating system monitoring everything you do, meanwhile Apple is moving in the same direction, so sooner or later I think anyone who wants any privacy on a computer will have to move to Linux 

These days, some of the Linux Operating systems (Distros) are pretty good, as they have been slowly progressing, while Windows has been relentlessly going backwards since Windows 7.  

Like many people I had been complaining for years about Microsoft, but there reached a point where I had to admit that I had no future with Microsoft, so would need to do whatever it took to move on. 

(This is a screenshot of my desktop, and it's pretty cool really - This is Linux Mint which is my favourite Linux distro)

Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 in October 2025, and ramped up their efforts to push the even more appalling Windows 11, with its built in advertising, and full blown spyware (Recall) taking constant screenshots of your desktop and sending them back to Microsoft. 

I'm expecting that even non security minded Windows users are finally going to start having issues with this level of spying.

SOME HANDY LINUX LINKS (sorted alphabetically)

Linux Zorin - A stylish & highly recommended distro

TECMINT - Information about Linux stuff

LOLS FOR BREAKFAST

 Everywhere I look today there seems to be various flavours of TARD spouting utter crap. I often find the best cure for that is some LOLPICS, so here are 10 to start the day.

 

MASONIC MOVIES

At some point in nearly every movie there will be a scene with a black and white checkered floor.

Often it's the floor of a cafe or bar, but they can be anywhere. In "F1 The Movie" it was the floor of a laundromat. Even the original Matrix movie has it's own tributes to Freemasonry. 

 

Most music videos tend to have them as well.

What exactly does the Mosaic Pavement represent in Masonry?

In short, it represents the moral fallibility of mankind.

AM I AN IDIOT?

The sad truth is that while some people do see me as some sort of computer geek, I actually find a lot of this stuff endlessly confusing and a real struggle to sort out.
 

The reason I have such carefully organised systems is that it’s the only way I can get my head around the things I’m trying to do, and even with all my systems, I’m constantly getting confused or stuck.

Yesterday I was unable to log into any of my files and was starting to stress out, until I finally realised that I’d accidentally hit the caps lock on my keyboard, and that was why my passwords were all wrong.

That is a fairly easy mistake to make – does everyone else do that too or am I a lone idiot?

I’m trying to organise hundreds of thousands of files, and to maintain reasonable privacy, backups, and security, while also having switched to using Linux full-time a year ago, after using Windows for a quarter of a century.

People talk about switching to Linux as if it’s a quick and easy swap that only takes a few hours. I tried out half a dozen distros before choosing one, and have now spent more than a year having to sort out relatively minor but really awkward problems like external drives and USB sticks not working because of them being formatted wrong.

On top of that there are things like switching from Photoshop to GIMP… It might be easy for a real geek, but I find this stuff fairly difficult.

The thing that has caused me the most problems on both Linux and Windows is trying to share or sync files between different devices using cloud storage. That has caused all sorts of muck ups for years

When I see other people’s computer systems I have no idea how they manage to do anything at all. I’m constantly finding all this geek stuff really confusing, and barely a day goes by without me asking the question – “Am I an idiot?”

I think I’m a mid level computer user trying to avoid falling into systems of normie digital mind control, (like Windows or Google) and in some ways that seems to keep getting harder. But it keeps me on my toes, and I do seem to be slowly progressing.
 

IS THE NZ GOV HIDING PEDOPHILES?

Not being a paedophile myself I’ve never actually searched online for “DIGITAL CHILD EXPLOITATION MATERIAL” so this is an entirely new area, and I was fairly astonished by what happened yesterday.

 

When I clicked on a link to one of my own web pages it was immediately redirected to a New Zealand government “filter” which blocked my page, and suggested I seek help for my sexual offending. 

https://dce.net.nz/

This is especially suspicious because there is currently a major scandal involving the police department and the government covering up misconduct by senior police officials, including Former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming who really seems to enjoy his “objectionable material”.

This new “filter” is said to be a copy of filters that are being used to censor content in England, that bastion of online free expression. Apparently the number of URL’s it is blocking has risen up from 1000 to 30,000 in 2025.

None of the material I’m posting online is “child exploitation” but I have been sharing some content discussing possible child trafficking and paedophilia being linked to American celebrities and politicians, along with European royalty and politicians, many of whom seem to have masses of highly suspicious evidence being covered up.

Now then, what if corrupt governments like the New Zealand puppet show, start adding any website they don’t like to their DIGITAL CHILD EXPLOITATION FILTER?

That would be a very effective way to censor non-approved content. Guilty until proven innocent, pulled into disrepute, and blocked from public view.

I don’t yet have solid evidence, but am certainly planning to make anything I find as public as possible. Are top level NZ politicians also linked to paedophilia? I wasn’t previously looking much into that seedy side of New Zealand, but if they are going to start blocking my web pages, all of a sudden I’m more interested.
