Israel pounds Iran, Tehran vows vengeance
Tehran (AFP) – Israel pounded Iran in a series of air raids on Friday, striking 100 targets including Tehran's nuclear and military sites, and killing the armed forces' chief of staff, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and top nuclear scientists.Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Israel it faced a "bitter and painful" fate over the attack, which also killed a senior Guards commander according to Iranian media.
Iran had launched 100 drones in response towards Israel whose defences were working to intercept, the Israeli military said.
US President Donald Trump told Fox News he had advance notice of the Israeli strikes which Israel's military said involved 200 fighter jets. Trump also stressed that Tehran "cannot have a nuclear bomb".
The United States also underlined that it was not involved in the Israeli action and warned Tehran not to attack its personnel or interests.
But Tehran said the United States would be "responsible for consequences" as Israel's operation "cannot have been carried out without the coordination and permission of the United States".
Israel's operation struck at the "heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment programme", taking aim at the atomic facility in Natanz and nuclear scientists, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
The operation against Iran will "continue as many days as it takes," Netanyahu said, adding in a later video statement that the initial strikes were "very successful".
Iran's Revolutionary Guards leader Hossein Salami and armed forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri were killed in the Israeli operation, said Iranian media.
Iranian state media said residential buildings in Tehran were hit as well, killing a number of civilians including women and children.
Air traffic was halted at Tehran's main international airport Imam Khomeini, while neighbouring Iraq has also closed its airspace and suspended all flights at all airports, state media reported.
Israel declared a state of emergency, likewise closing its airspace, with Defence Minister Israel Katz anticipating retaliatory action from Tehran.
"Following the State of Israel's preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future," Katz said.
An Israeli military official added that the Israeli army believed that Iran had the ability to strike Israel "any minute".
Oil prices surged 12 percent while stocks sank on the Israeli strikes, which came after Trump's warning of a "massive conflict" in the region.
Trump had also said the United States was drawing down staff in the Middle East, after Iran threatened to target US military bases in the region if conflict breaks out.
Trump said he believed a "pretty good" deal on Iran's nuclear programme was "fairly close", but said that an Israeli attack on its arch foe could wreck the chances of an agreement.
The US leader did not disclose the details of a conversation on Monday with Netanyahu, but said: "I don't want them going in, because I think it would blow it."
Trump quickly added: "Might help it actually, but it also could blow it."
Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Iran not respond to Israeli strikes by hitting US bases, saying Washington was not involved.
"Let me be clear: Iran should not target US interests or personnel," Rubio said in a statement.
Prior to Friday's attack, Iran had threatened to hit US bases in the Middle East if conflict were to erupt.
"All its bases are within our reach, we have access to them, and without hesitation we will target all of them in the host countries," Iran's Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said this week.
With the violence raising questions on whether a sixth round of talks planned between the US and Iran will still take place on Sunday in Oman, Trump said however that Washington is still "hoping to get back to the negotiating table".
Confirming Natanz among targets, the UN's nuclear watchdog said it was "closely monitoring" the situation.
"The agency is in contact with Iranian authorities regarding radiation levels. We are also in contact with our inspectors in the country," International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said.
Israel, which counts on US military and diplomatic support, sees Iran as an existential threat.

Israel again called for global action after the IAEA accused Iran on Wednesday of non-compliance with its obligations.Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, far above the 3.67-percent limit set in the 2015 deal and close, though still short, of the 90 percent needed for a nuclear warhead.
I love how this lacks basic context like, that the deal was abandoned by US so Iran had no obligations to follow it.
The Iran Deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into. - President Donald J. Trump

Why don't most distros support listing packages and system settings in text file(s)?
I think the least that distros can do, is allow listing all packages and system settings in config files like .toml rather than having to type in every single package to install, or click through system setting GUIs to setup. Would that require using a whole programming language or system like NIx?
While NixOS works much differently from most distros, that's the only reason I use it: package and system settings in text files. If I fix something, it's fixed permanently, I don't need to hunt down files in random directories if I want to change a setting. If I ever need to reinstall the OS I don't have to write dnf install every single damn package and manually setup all that up all over again. Having daily-drove Windows macOS & Fedora as throughout the years, my setups have felt hacky as well as houses of cards as I've wanted or had to set them up again (I don't mean Fedora specifically, but distros in general).
Basically it feels insane that it's the way most linux users and servers in the world operate. If I, a humble computer hobbyist can figure out Nix, why don't more users do so, and why is Nix so niche?

I'm sure many people don't even think about that. Having to reinstall all your packages from scratch is not something they do frequently.
And for the people who are looking to optimize the initial setup, there are many ways to do it without a declarative package manager. You can:
- Write a script for your initial setup that includes installing packages
- Use a tool like ansible
- Use meta-packages
- Export your currently installed packages to a file and pass that to the package manager on the new installation
I'd have to also back up /etc/apt/preferences.d
Much easier to just copy and paste a block of commands when I get a VPS up

A poem of freedom
I wasn’t born to obey.
Not to swallow smiling lies, not to clap for tyrants in suits, not to say “thank you” for surveillance wrapped in convenience.
I see it.
The games.
The false choice.
The fear pumped through headlines and dopamine apps.
I see how they trade truth for comfort, freedom for filters, soul for clickbait.
They call it normal.
But I call it a graveyard made of compliance.
They want me silent.
They want me tired.
They want me posting selfies while the world burns behind the screen.
But I wasn’t born for this.
I was born to question, to remember, to remind the others who are still pretending they don’t notice.
So here I am.
A voice with no logo.
A signal in the static.
A crack in the mirror they polish every morning.
You don’t have to agree.
You don’t have to clap.
But if this made your bones ache or your thoughts twitch
Then maybe you’re not asleep either.
Good.
Let’s stay awake.
And let’s make noise that can’t be sold, silenced, or spun into safety.
Not for them.
For us.

Linux won't boot, looking for help
Hey there. I’m totally new to Linux. I’m not the most tech savvy, but I’m fed up with windows and want to go elsewhere. For the time being I figured I’d dual boot, and got everything set up on a usb. I plugged it in, booted up Linux Mint, and it worked smoothly. I ended the session, powered off my pc, removed the usb, booted up windows 11, freed up some disc space and did some other stuff on my computer, then turned it off for a bit. When I went to boot it up again, I got this message:
Failed to open \EFI\B00T\mmx64.efi - Not Found Failed to load image ??: Not Found Failed to start MokManager: Not Found
Something has gone seriously wrong: import mok-state() failed: Not Foundand then the computer powered off. I tried disabling fast start or whatever it’s called, as well as secure boot, and it’s still giving me that. Windows still boots up just fine. Does anyone have any advice? Like I said I don’t have much technical knowledge so a dumbed down response would be really appreciated. I’ve looked up a few forums and nothing gave me much.
Oh also, when I try to boot it and it gives me the error and turns off, if I turn it back on but boot up windows, I get a message saying something was blocked due to a security system I have to disable, but doesn’t tell me what that security system is or how to disable it. It’s getting a little frustrating. I don’t know why it worked once but not anymore.
Update: I got it working. Thanks everyone for the help.

When you freed up the disk space windows seems to have broken mints bootloader partition. You could fix it if you wanted, but at beginner level its probably best to reinstall. If you need to recover any data from you "broken" mint partition you can plug the mint USB in, boot into the live environment and look in your files mount you old mint files and backup anything you want to keep before reinstalling.
Depends on how much of a nerd you are. If the idea of rescuing your system using the terminal sounds fun then try otherwise just reinstall.

Gaza now worse than hell on earth, humanitarian chief tells BBC
Gaza has become worse than hell on earth, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross has told the BBC.
In an interview at the ICRC's headquarters in Geneva, the organisation's president Mirjana Spoljaric said "humanity is failing" as it watched the horrors of the Gaza war.
Speaking in a room close to a case displaying the ICRC's three Nobel Peace Prizes, I asked Ms Spoljaric about remarks she made in April, that Gaza was "hell on earth", and if anything had happened since to change her mind.
"It has become worse… We cannot continue to watch what is happening. It's surpassing any acceptable, legal, moral, and humane standard. The level of destruction, the level of suffering.

I've read Dante's Inferno. Two things are true:
- In envisioning Hell, this is beyond even him.
Though, the ninth circle — betrayal — is where many politicians, pundits, and the president of Israel belong. Frozen in the ice at the center of Hell.
- Many people deserve to be sent to Hell for this. Perhaps all of us who did not do more to stop it.

It’s not Denmark’s children who can’t handle debating Gaza. It’s our politicians | Rune Lykkeberg
In Denmark, we like to think of ourselves as being in the vanguard of freedom of expression. We were the first country in the world to legalise pornography. We insisted on the right to publish caricatures of the prophet Muhammad. Rather than marginalise so-called rightwing populists in parliament, we invited them in to political cooperation. We pride ourselves on being unafraid of controversy and we’re good at making authorities who try to tell us what to do – and especially what not to do – look ridiculous.
Danes also like to think of our country as a role model for democracy. As such, the national elections for children aged 13 to 16 are a cherished tradition, considered a part of civic education and a preparation for democratic participation. All schools are invited to take part in the exercise, which is held every other year. Students debate 20 issues for three weeks before casting votes for the parties that are also eligible to stand in real general elections.
Over the past few weeks, however, the national school elections have been dragged into controversy after the decision to ban one theme from the list of issues for the 2026 vote: the question of Palestine.
Should Denmark recognise Palestine as a sovereign state? This specific question is arguably a defining issue of our time and one that mobilises political engagement among young voters. Excluding it is a remarkable act, which has been attacked from the left and right of the political spectrum. This is the opposite of properly preparing young people for Danish democracy, critics say, and goes against what we as a nation stand for.

this issue was too complex for them to be able to relate
Yeah, might as well stop talking about Colonialism, Slavery, Nazism and all the other topics in history, that are "too complex to relate" by the idea of interested groups.
Also the notion behind it is even more infuriating. Because saying the issue would be "too complex" means there is some higher justification to crimes against humanity and war crimes, killing tens of thousands of people and making the home of millions of people unlivable while massacring them as they scramble for the little food you give them. "Too complex" means that any crime and any injustice can be justified and when you see injustice you should not challenge it, but rather trust blindly that your leaders can justify what they do.
