#MountIbu erupted on Saturday evening, sending ash 4km into the sky, as streaks of purple lightning flashed around its crater, according to information and images shared by Indonesia’s volcanology agency.
The alert level of the #volcano to the highest level on Thursday, after Ibu erupted multiple times earlier this month. #Halmahera
#Indonesia has long maintained an open foreign policy approach, even under incumbent leader President #JokoWidodo. #Prabowo, who will take over the post in October, said he will continue the country’s longstanding stance of #NonAlignment.
#China is #Indonesia’s biggest economic partner and is pouring more than $7 billion into the nation’s commodity processing capacity.
A #volcano in eastern #Indonesia erupted on Monday, spewing a huge ash tower more than five kilometres (three miles) into the sky after authorities raised its alert level to the second-highest last week.
No damage or casualties were immediately reported but images showed a column of ash soaring into the sky on #Halmahera island in #NorthMaluku province.

Tigers used to kill durian collectors as they carried the huge ripe fruits in baskets on their backs. Durian was the only fruit wild tigers loved enough to get close to humans.
Wow... sepertinya tidak perlu jadi HACKERMAN untuk bisa menghambat/menghentikan lingkungan digital di #Indonesia, cukup dengan mengajukan laporan ke Kominfo bahwa ada
"konten negatif baik berupa situs/website, URL, akun media sosial, aplikasi mobile, dan software yang memenuhi kriteria sebagai Informasi dan/atau Dokumen Elektronik bermuatan negatif sesuai peraturan perundang-undangan."
Secara teoritis, Github bisa diblokir. Archive.org bisa diblokir. Heck, bahkan Wikipedia tidak luput. Wow. 🤔
Melihat Bitly dan Namecheap sempat diblokir, dan mengingat kegilaan terkait PSE (atau apalah itu), argumen ini tidak sebegitu teoritisnya juga sih: betulan bisa terjadi kapanpun.
Mungkin situs besar skala internasional hanya perlu menunggu sekian jam sebelum Kominfo berkata "Oopsie 😜," tapi situs jurnalistik kecil, misalnya berfokus ke satu topik seperti lingkungan hidup? Entahlah. Atau situs sepesfik yang tidak dikenal masyarakat umum? Entah.
The Bugis are Muslim, but their belief is strongly influenced by their ancestral #religion.
One #belief centres around the Monitor lizard. The animal is believed to have a human #soul & to be the twin of children. They are treated with respect.
Bugis also categorize people into 5 genders. Each is needed to keep the universe in balance.
Bissu, the #gender which is neither man nor woman, is the intermediary between humans & #gods.
The building style of the Bugis reflects their belief system.
The gods live below & above, so the first floor represents those below (simple & earthen, but also the foundation) and the second floor represents the sky gods (mighty and beautiful, but also far away).
Both gods made humans to settle the formerly empty middle.
@62ch@indonesia sebenarnya fungsinya lebih kalau untuk keadaan luar biasa seperti perang, bencana alam atau lainnya.
Itu alasannya di beberapa negara mereka masih pancarkan siaran di AM, karena jangkauannya akan lebih luas daripada FM.
A rescue ship and a warship were dispatched to help move thousands from neighbouring #TagulandangIsland north to #SiauIsland because of a warning about parts of the volcano falling into the sea potentially causing a #tsunami. #MountRuang#RuangVolcano

#Indonesia’s Ruang volcano off the island of #Sulawesi erupted on Tuesday, April 30, spewing #ash and #lava, after an eruption earlier this month led to hundreds of evacuations and an airport closure.
Indonesia’s customs office has been under fire this past week thanks to a few cases going viral.
First case was someone being charged 3x the value of the shoes he bought online. Customs said because there was a mistake in item value entered into the system by the sender (under invoicing) the recipient is now liable for the $1800 fine.
Second was a toy influencer receiving their self transforming Megatron toy two weeks late, damaged box, opened by customs, and being given a runaround by the customs office. He was supposed to be part of a global unboxing event last week. A special staff to the finance ministry responded on X but he got piled on due to bureaucratic speak and evasive responses. Customs also charged him based on the price for the Grimlock model which is twice as much.
Third one, prototype equipments for a special needs school given by a South Korean company has been held by customs since 2022 because the school hadn’t paid the import tax bill totaling more than $6,000. There’s no price available online because it’s a prototype so the office decided the value on their own. The school got tired of explaining and gave up in January 2023. Finance Minister made a statement on Instagram yesterday on expediting the process and dropping all fees.
All of these cases were resolved only after they went viral on X.
