Israel has stated that if Iran doesn’t stop defending itself, Tehran will burn. Is that what they meant? Iran’s nuclear-armed allies need to offer a nuclear umbrella to ensure this stays a fair fight. If they do, Israel’s reign of terror is over. If they don’t, this world is about to get fucking terrifying.
ah, shit

why didnt Enlightenment desktop recieve much adoption
Hi lemmy
So i was curious why Enlightenment didn't recieve much adoption in the Linux Desktop. (especially for a fully featured lightweight wayland DE)
Ik Bodhi Linux uses Enlightenment, but it's more of Moksha rather then using Enlightenment
Cause
- Lighter then LXQT
- Somewhat customizable
But I can see people not liking it cause.
- the ui(especially for windows users)
- Hard to find themes due to it using its own toolkit

I mean, to my knowledge, it's still Rasterman keeping most of the development together. You don't need a ton of adoption when one guy tirelessly works on it.
Although I'm guessing Samsung probably sponsors him, so that's probably quite crucial for him to be able to put that much time into it.
I suspect it just isn't well known. I used it for a while in my early days in Linux, which was back in the late 1990's, and i honestly haven't heard much abiut it over the years.
I do remember being impressed at the time. I think most people stick with the defaults for whatever distro they first choose. Since i was using Slackware back then, there was not a default choice, so i searched and experimented.
alr thank you this makes soo much sense Now
KDE/Gnome that it feels like using anything else is just asking for trouble.
I agree espically for stuff like Good Wayland Support,VRR,etc
Enlightenment is SO configurable that it almost doesn't have a look, and therefore doesn't really have "brand' per se. Take a look at galleries and collections of enlightenment setups: they're all massively different in look and behaviour.
I remember in my early days of Linux (late 90s) it was too much for me.

When it was first developed it was too heavyweight and too customisable. The effort needed to theme it was huge and a lot of the popular themes were poor from a UX point of view.
Still E16 was usable, and then the development of E17 started about 24 years ago. People are still on E16 you say?
I was using E16 years ago and liked it but eventually switched to Gnome (2, I think), after waiting for E17 for too long.
What made me quit was the wait. All the other DEs at the time were releasing new versions frequently but Enlightenment took forever.
I tried it a few years ago. I was really impressed by how lightweight and gorgeous it is. In particular, I found it really cool and actually useful that you got a live view of your other workspaces on your panel. You could even fullscreen a video on your other workspace and then watch (a very small version of) it in your panel.
But yeah, even though I came back to it multiple times, I never ended up sticking around. It would crash regularly (not the worst thing, since recovery was generally seamless, but still meh), but in particular, it had some peculiar design decisions.
For example, if you double-click a window titlebar in virtually any window manager, it will maximize. In Enlightenment, I believe it got shaded (i.e. the contents of the window got hidden and only the titlebar was still visible).
Another prominent one was that its applet for connecting to WiFi and such didn't support NetworkManager, but rather only ConnMan. If you've never heard of ConnMan, yeah, I only know it from Enlightenment, too. Similarly, my distro (openSUSE) didn't package it either (and openSUSE was said to offer a relatively good Enlightenment experience). That's something which should just work, because you can't expect people to look up how they can connect to WiFi while they can't reach the internet.
And yeah, these are just the big ones that stuck in my head. There were lots of smaller usability issues, too. Many things you could fix by changing the configuration, but we're talking many in an absolute sense, too, i.e. you might spend an hour or more just tweaking things so that they behaved like you might expect.
I was really impressed by how lightweight and gorgeous it is.
Maybe a controversial opinion here, but the one thing that everyone says about it is that it looks gorgeous, and I really don't see it. Never have.
Even back when I first tried it out, maybe 15 years ago, I thought it looked strangely retro. Nowadays, compared to the eye candy that is completely standard in GNOME, KDE, MacOS, Windows etc., it looks incredibly dated.
It's all hard edges, low res icons, ugly fonts, and eccentric design choices. Yeah, it can make window elements transparent, but you can't dine out on that one trick for ever.
I certainly think that it has many eccentric design choices. It's not going to be for everyone. Some parts of it, I also think just look bad, which I had to customize. Well, and openSUSE's theming made a big difference, too: simotek.net/tech/projects/open…
"Retro" is also definitely a word I would use, though more positively connoted. It has *different* eye candy to the usual desktop designs, which is a big part of the charm. In a sea of flat designs and tiling window managers, it stands out as its own thing.
Enlightenment on openSUSE 13.2
Fortunately e19 landed just in time to get into openSUSE 13.2 …simotek.net
Well, that was just kind of one example to illustrate that it isn't just a static screenshot, you actually see what's going on in real-time. It's also useful when you're running a longer operation, like OS updates or encoding a video, and want to see when it's done or that it hasn't failed. You can just tell when the command output has stopped moving or a popup has appeared...
But thanks for the recommendation anyways!
I vastly prefer connman/iwd, always had weird issues with NM. Currently running connman-gtk on XFCE.
And tweaking to your needs, isn't that expected for a new desktop setup? One hour isn't even that much.
I'm amazed again and again how stuck even technical people can be in their habits.
Well, it didn't feel like I'm tweaking to my needs (that came afterwards on top), it rather felt like I'm just undoing design decisions that someone made to cater to their specific needs.
And I named the time mainly to give an idea of how much there was to tweak. My main problems were:
- That I could not undo some of those unusual design decisions.
- That it doesn't exactly make the system more robust when you need lots of non-default settings.
If you've never heard of ConnMan, yeah, I only know it from Enlightenment, too.
I used it for a while trying to wean myself off NetworkManager, which has a lot of optional dependencies that distributions tend to link in. So, you don't want Gnome on your system, but you want NM? Too bad, you got Gnome.
Anyway, connman is pretty fussy and not very intuitive. I think it's better for systems that are always on the same network; it's a pain to travel and connect to open networks with.

My bet is that this happened because they do develop both the Enlightenment desktop and the E libraries, which is a tremendous amount of work. Add to that that if they are a small team, they're not going to go relatively fast (afaik E17 took years...). Maybe it was the reason GNOME/GTK(+) and KDE (which began with an already developed GUI library) caught up.
But as I always say in this kind of posts, both Enlightenment and E are amazing and I so wish they were more rich featured and popular and, if I were the XFCE mouse and got fed up with the bullshit of the GNOME-ization/libadwaita-zion of GTK, I'd consider porting all my shit to E - it would be awesome if those two merged into one. GTK and E are both written in C, XFCE has a robust set of apps and a seemingly bigger team behind it...
The default UI is very weird, you need to place most of the app icons by yourself and I think pressing Meta doesn't invoke the app launcher? Also I cannot start E with wayland currently, I could on v0.21.
I cannot start E with wayland currently, I could on v0.21.
I tried E on Wayland before had the same issue i thought it was cause my Setup (I was using QEMU/KVM with distro Cachyos installed to test it )
I have used Enlightenment 16 for around ten years with episodes of fooling around others like blackbox, fluxbox, ratpoison, icewm, gnome and even KDE but always went back. I just loved that look I could get with that ripple effect at the bottom and gkrellm: my computer looked straight out of a science fiction movie.
Most of that time I was waiting for E17, it would be looking so good I was telling myself. It was taking so long but they were creating the foundations to something so powerful that the wait was well worth the wait I kept telling myself.
Then one I was finally able to try it, just a few components at an early stage, but it felt so crappy that I must have waited another five years before I gave another look at it. At that point it had improved but not nearly enough to consider it as a viable option.
My tastes changed too, I still like good looking but I value efficiency more so I have been using I3 for a long while. Yesterday I saw a video about a similar one hyprland, I might try it if I can resolve to switch to Wayland.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money
Get ready to have your mind blown by “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money.” This video dives deep into the shocking reality behind the Bitcoin hype and exposes how BlackRock and other Wall Street titans are quietly taking over the crypto world while everyday people are left holding the bag.
In “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money,” you’ll learn how just 1% of entities control nearly 90% of all Bitcoin, and how BlackRock alone has amassed over 530,000 BTC—making them the second-largest holder on the planet. The video breaks down how institutional giants use thousands of wallets to hide their concentration of wealth, while the media and crypto influencers keep pushing the myth of “decentralization.”
We’ll also reveal how new deregulation moves—like Trump’s rollback of IRS crypto broker rules and the SEC’s so-called “innovation-friendly” policies—are making it even easier for Wall Street to dominate, while retail investors get crushed by scams and volatility. “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money” is your wake-up call: Bitcoin isn’t the revolution you were promised. It’s become another playground for the rich, and the real winners are the same financial giants you thought you were escaping.

Introducing premium accounts to fund the matrix.org homeserver
🔗TL;DR
As we need to take more concrete steps to improve the financial situation of the Foundation, we will be rolling out a freemium offer for the matrix.org homeserver users. The alternative is to turn off the server, which we want to avoid doing. The goal is for the most active users to support the cost of the service. Free users will have limits on how they can use the service (mostly around media). The change can be supported by any client with limited to no development. Premium plans will be rolled out over the summer, and we will be iterating on the exact scope in the first few weeks.

Sabato 28 giugno 2025 a Agugliano (AN) “Libera Repubblica di Castel d’Emilio”
Il Grand Tour delle Marche fa tappa a Castel d’Emilio, borgo medievale nel comune di Agugliano (AN), incastonato tra le colline della “Terra dei Castelli”. Qui, Enrico Friziero, imprenditore padovano, ha ricreato un angolo di Veneto con l’apertura di un Bacaro e di un albergo diffuso (Relais Castel d’Emilio), ridando vita al borgo.
Sabato 28 giugno il borgo si trasformerà simbolicamente nella Libera Repubblica di Castel d’Emilio, con un evento speciale dedicato a questa “enclave veneta” nelle Marche.
Il programma inizia alle 15.30 con una caccia al tesoro per le vie del borgo dal titolo L’isola fantasma di Venezia. Alle 18.00, in piazza, Cesare Catà metterà in scena lo spettacolo La Geniale Cortigiana, con Pamela Olivieri (recitazione) e Fabio Capponi (musiche). Si racconterà la vita di Veronica Franco, cortigiana-poetessa veneziana del '500, figura simbolo di cultura e ribellione.
Alle 21.30 gran finale con il concerto di Gazebo, icona della Italo disco anni ’80, autore di successi che hanno venduto oltre 12 milioni di dischi.
Durante la giornata, al Bacaro Busèto e Bottòn, si potranno assaporare specialità venete come folpi, sarde in saor, cicheti, spritz leggendari e vini, con incursioni gastronomiche anche nelle Marche.
Ad arricchire l’atmosfera, figuranti in maschere veneziane del ‘700.
Tutti gli spettacoli sono gratuiti. Sarà presente anche una delegazione di Emergency, a cui destinare donazioni libere.

fazzoletto scancanato tra sporcizia e disordine!!!
Ecco stamattina un nuovo rapporto sullo stato delle cose del mio mondo scombinato, concentrato su un ennesimo dettaglio che nessuno ha chiesto ma che tutti meritano di conoscere… anche perché è sempre bene rimarcare accuratamente i miei territori (la mia cameretta e il mio blog): un fazzoletto che è rimasto sulla mia scrivania, dopo aver visto più di qualche giorno di utilizzo, ed è decisamente mutato dal suo stato originale (no shit Sherlock!).
Questo improprio pezzo di arredamento, che funge ovviamente anche (perché ridotto in questo modo è più così che non il contrario) da strumento di sollievo contro la mia allergia (che a metà giugno ancora imperversa, non ci voglio veramente credere), è decisamente rustico, umile, essenziale, ma comunque speciale. In qualche modo, a furia di soffiarmici il naso tra la decina e la ventina di volte in totale, è passato ad essere un groviglio di fottuti brandelli, e per qualche motivo la cosa mi fa molto ridere. Ma ora… lo butterò o aspetterò che si distrugga completamente…?
List all existing program paths from your Bash's history. (Bash One Liner)
It only works with the first command in the recorded history, not with any sub shells or chained commands.
\#!/usr/bin/env bash
# 1. history and $HISTFILE do not work in scripts. Therefore cat with a direct
# path is needed.
# 2. awk gets the first part of the command name.
# 3. List is then sorted and duplicate entries are removed.
# 4. type -P will expand command names to paths, similar to which. But it will
# also expand aliases and functions.
# 5. Final output is then sorted again.
type -P $(cat ~/.bash_history | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq) | sortAfter reading a blog post, I had this script in mind to see if its possible. This is just for fun and I don't have an actual use for it. Maybe some parts of it might inspire you to do something too. So have fun.
Edit 1:
After some suggestions from the comments, here is a little shorter version. sort | uniq can be replaced by sort -u, as the output of them should be identical in this case (in certain circumstances they can have different effect!). Also someone pointed out my useless cat, as the file can be used directly with awk. And for good reason. 😁 Enjoy, and thanks for all.
type -P $(awk '{print $1}' ~/.bash_history | sort -u) | sortI still have no real use case for this one liner, its mainly just for fun.
I agree they aren't the same, especially if you need uniq to count things.
However, be aware that pipes can be a real problem in scripts because of globbing and expansion.
I'm actually not sure what you mean by that. This script will only list the programs you used in the terminal. It prints the fullpath of each command. That's all it does.
Do you want know if a program is currently running?
As I've been working on an install script for making my setup more portable, this is handy and timely. Thanks for sharing!
PS I hate to be the UUOC person. I'm sure you're already aware and it was a deliberate choice.
PS I hate to be the UUOC person. I’m sure you’re already aware and it was a deliberate choice.
I wish it was. I honestly forgot. yeah, shame on me. 😁 Before this, at the position of cat there was actually a different command, which I replaced with this. And I didn't think of adding the file to awk instead. I'll update the line with this suggestion and a suggestion from someone else.

[Discussion] Why are Android boot times relatively slow?
Original question by @monovergent@lemmy.ml
The storage and processing power of modern smartphones are touted to rival those of a typical laptop. Yet, my trash-picked testing system from over a decade ago with a bottom-of-the-barrel SATA SSD can still boot to the Linux desktop faster than all but one of my Android devices.Understandably, this isn't a huge priority since very few people are cold booting their phones every morning. But is it just plain unoptimized? How hard would it be to optimize? Do security features and checks bog it down? Is it that there's many tiny files to load when booting? What gives?
You're right, if you compare it to to ChromeOS/ FydeOS boot time it's embarrassing.
And it's quite strange indeed.
I also wondered why hibernation has never been implemented as an option (I guess blackberry used to have it instead).
Also startup applications are something the user should be able to have control upon (android let you control it at the beginning, maybe till android 4, than you couldn't decide anymore, Xiaomi continued to offer that option for a while, then they stopped too).
Let's say android is like that, take it or leave, they could make the main OS boot, let you enter, and then boot extra background apps with a delay.
Unfortunately android is made for companies and their annoying notifications/ads , not for the user
From I've seen they certainly used that initially with mostly older, cheaper, and slower drones in the initial waves intentionally to bleed out the iron dome but have been changing their strategy as the "Iron Dome" is weakened and/or gaps are discovered.
With each wave they adjust their strategy. Interspersing more Hypersonics and layering the drones in different patterns/locations to more readily distract/avoid the iron dome.
From estimated ratios of 9 impacts out of/150 launched in the first few waves vs 9/50 in the more recent waves.
Though obviously Israel hides the damage/strikes through media blackouts on military sites so we can't know for sure how accurate these estimates are and we mainly only get reporting on impacts in Tel-Aviv or other militarized "civilian" zones.
Oh for sure, I'm just saying they don't even need to hit any targets and they'd still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can't fight Iran without US.
Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump's main priorities, hopefully they don't succeed in changing his calculus on it.
And they aren't able to and won't be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we've already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.

I'm no expert, but usually when missiles "go ballistic" their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.
This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.
I mean I'm no expert either but you can see this characteristic burning on most ICBM videos, it's just the reentry vehicle reaching insane temperatures.

They want genocide; they will get some retaliation from who they are attacking. FAFO
Perhaps you have missed the part where Israeli citizens have been openly saying that we need to wipe Iran, Palestine and multiple other countries off from the world map.
Not like Iranian and Palestinian people haven't said anything similar. This issue is not black and white. There's a hundred of different shades of piss and shit. Everyone is right from their standpoint and everyone is wrong from other's standpoint.
Yes they do.
If they don't want to live with the consequence of being in one of the most contested places on earth, they can always leave.
It's way easier for Israelis to relocate because of how much money they have. They just choose not to and deserve all of the consequences that go along with that.
This is fucked up. Israeli citizens do not have to die because of what the government did.
If Israel is allowed and being enabled to raze Palestine, then nobody should take issue with Iran defending itself.
War is never justified, the political leaders are on their couches watching tvs playing with the lives of their people
The majority of these citizens support the genocide.
Do they deserve to die? Of course not. But do I feel bad about them getting a little taste of karma? Of course not.
Imagine 20+ months of this without bomb shelters with minimum to no food and with constant shelling and moving. Israel has made bombings and terrorism become normal for people in yemen, lebanon, syria and Iraq. Israel has made the lives of millions unsafe in the middleeast.
Germany, UK you created Israel government and the US enabled its colonization and genocide since day 1. Europe should take them back or stop them.
In 2025, the humans of the world nations still compete in every scientific advancement known to mankind, and mine every precious and rare material source, and employ every advancement and investment in programming, AI, engineering and design on the planet for intimidation and colonization launching metals into each other bodies, polluting and destroying the planet climate and resources, spreading pain and murder to each other for selfish gain. Now those maniacs are threatening with nuclear missiles. People who do everything in their power and utilize everything in the possession to bring humanity and the world down.
All because they want few Zionists to rule in aparthied and colonization and not give democracy to whom they see as inferior races of other humans instead of working and lifting each other. The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.

That's the most telling thing furute generations will look back upon this politicians that enabled such violence just to make some extra buck or a favor? Q
It’s wild hearing Americans who went on a 20 year genocidal way because they were attacked at home, cheering on others being attacked at home. Your government fucked by country and people, do I get to blow up your family and be cheered?
Edit: never has my indigenous, brown ass received so many DMs with hate, bigotry, and rants about genocide and colonialism from white kids than this year. Without a hint of irony, American hypocrites are trying to lead a movement against war, genocide, racism and colonialism. While you profit from and continue your own atrocities Americans need to get in the back of the line, they are toxic to the movement
I mean, both the United States and Israel were attacked because of Israel.
Israel deserves the blame because Israel is the problem.
If they don't like it, they can always leave. That would make the world a better place.
Well, yeah.
Supporting Israel is great for the MIC.
(I hope I don't have to say how I'm not one of the bloodthirsty Americans you're referring to)
You seem to not be aware that Israel is another settler-colonial project, based on indigenous eviction and genocide, just like the US, Canada, Australia, etc.
I suggest watching these two vids :
I didn't go on shit and I don't support US imperialist actions.
1) We were attacked at home because of previous imperialist actions, and we would have continued said imperialism whether attacked or not, that was a convenient excuse.
2) I would understand people cheering and I would direct my anger to the people who caused the retaliation to happen, my own government.
why are you defending America destroying your country and Israel doing the same/trying to do the same to other countries though? This make no sense.
I agree with all of it i just think you Americans need to get out of the way and stop trying to lead the charge, because you guys are toxic and taint the movement with your hypocrisy and extremist attitudes.
You al benefit from your country’s imperialism but you all dodge responsibility and say it wasnt you
If you side with the usa empire, you're my enemy
Calling your opponents burgerlanders won't change that
You know, the reason we have sympathy for Palestinian civilians is because they're not responsible for the actions of Hamas on Oct 7, even if many of them were brainwashed to be happy about the massacre. Please apply the same logic to sympathizing with civilians who are not responsible for Likud's actions, a large proportion of whom have also been protesting against the party in the past year.
The current Israeli administration is ruthless and bloodthirsty and it's diminishing the should of it's people. That being said, I don't think any major power in the world, including China and Russia are sad to see Iran's nuclear program get set back.
Here's a fun fact, did you know that 65 other countries also have mandatory military service, including Iran? Being a class traitor by the law of the state doesn't make you not proletariat.
Abandoning massive chunks of workers based only on their place of birth or the bubble of propoganda they live in is the opposite of every reputable leftist ideology. If your empathy for the people crushed under the rubble of an apartment complex depends on the flag out front then just admit you're a frothing nationalist and stop pretending.
Total population of Israel: 9.2 million
Total IDF personnel (including reservists): 500k
Total settler population: 700k
Total Isreal police force: <30k
But sure, let's glass them all. Especially the 86% that have no active involvement with what's going on. You sound like a goddamn fool.
Edit: let me cut off the horseshit collective punishment argument before you make it: you're still cheering for your own class to be slaughtered
I'd be fine if the apartheid government willingly dissolved and created a new system where the genocide of Palestinian people wasn't the goal. A government that didn't attack it's neighbors on a whim.
This could be bloodless, but unfortunately the state will not allow that
Nobody expects the state to relinquish power without violence, but that doesn't mean it's OK to cheer clips of massive explosions within lethal range of civilian houses.
I have yet to see anyone share hard evidence that these are targeted at military areas, let alone actually hitting them. Just a bunch of equivocation about military reserves and public opinion polls. Isreal rightfully caught shit for their pager attack being too indiscriminate but an explosion clearing half a city block isn't?
I think you're forgetting differences in military capabilities.
Israel can be more selective in it's targets in Gaza, but they deliberately chose hospitals. Iran, the nation defending itself, has to send large missile barrages to try and break through the iron dome defense. Those will be less precise
I don't see how that makes a difference? Israel bombing civilians with precision doesn't make imprecise bombing of civilians more acceptable. Everyone ends up just as dead. It just makes it more palatable for people who value retribution above civilian lives.
To put it another way: if you want to hit a military target but can't do so without outsized collateral damage, you don't have ethical grounds to make the attack. You don't see people defending the USA's use of Agent Orange in Vietnam just because it was the only feasible way to clear foliage.
So what Iran is just supposed to let Israel continue unprovoked attacks? Yeah that's a fucking stupid take.
Also the US was the invader during the Vietnam War so that's a bad example all around
When did I say that? All I want is for all belligerents to be held to the same standard. Show me the evidence that these missiles are falling on targets with strategic importance; show me that they're making efforts to not waste human lives. It's clear that Israel's attacks are not and they're rightly called out for it. Why is Iran above the same scrutiny?
US was the invader during the Vietnam War so that's a bad example all around
Why is it a bad example? Does being the defender in a war make you immune to war crimes? It's indiscriminate killing of non combatants either way.
A nazi using communist words to try to mind control us? Pathetic.
- You don't know shit about communism.
- Mind control doesn't work
- Death to the usa empire
Here’s a fun fact, most Israelis—bourgeois and proletariat—approve of what the state of Israel is doing in Gaza.
These are fascists. If there’s anything to be learned from WWII, it’s that no one is more antifascist than communists.
If your empathy for the people crushed under the rubble of an apartment complex depends on the flag out front then just admit you’re a frothing nationalist and stop pretending.
Palestinians don’t have a nation. They’ve been under occupation by European settler-colonists for about 80 years.
Palestinians have the right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle, while the State of Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”
As for Iran, it is an anti-imperialist state retaliating against an unprovoked attack by an imperialist state, which it has the right to do by UN law. Marxist-Leninists give Iran our critical support1 in the struggle against imperialist states, not to mention the struggle against genocide.

As an Occupier, Israel Has No Right to “Self-Defense”
By invoking self-defense, Israel changes the conversation from its colonial crimes against the Palestinians to the injuries it has itself incurred as a result.jacobin.com
Holy fuck you don't even know what a nation is lmfao
If there’s anything to be learned from WWII, it’s that no one is more antifascist than communists.
If you knew anything about WW2, you'd know that strategic bombing of population centers was a futile effort that wasted lives. Allies and Axis both admitted it, and the Allies even stuck to day bombing to limit collateral damage.
I've been asking up and down this thread for any context on what these bombs hit, any evidence at all, and all I get is equivocation like yours.
Your "critical support" isn't very critical at all, it's pretty one dimensional. Isreal bombs a population center: bad. Iran bombs an Isreal population center: good. I've seen no depth beyond that.
Holy fuck you don’t even know what a nation is lmfao
I do, actually, but since you were the one talking about nations’ flags, I assumed that you didn’t know the difference between a nation and a state. Israeli Zionists clearly do know the difference, and they want an ethnically-cleaned, “Greater Israel” nation-state. Because they’re settler-colonialists; they’re fascists.
Allies even stuck to day bombing to limit collateral damage.
No, they did it in order to hit their targets, which were often cities. The US also dropped two atomic bombs on city centers with no warning at all.
Isreal bombs a population center: bad. Iran bombs an Isreal population center: good.
Obviously neither one is “good.” You’re putting words in my mouth.
It’s Time to Confront Israel’s Version of “From the River to the Sea” | The Nation
Far from being a mere slogan, the phrase captures both the longtime ambitions of the Israeli right and the reality Israel has imposed on Palestine since 1967.The Nation
You're just wildly incorrect on all fronts here.
since you were the one talking about nations’ flags
A nation is not a nation state, and a population doesn't have to be a sovereign state to have a flag.
No, they did it in order to hit their targets, which were often cities.
Exactly, to limit collateral damage. Germany (and the RAF's night bombing, to be fair) also targeted cities with strategic war industries, they just cared more about their pilots' safety than civilian lives.
You’re putting words in my mouth.
I'm not at all, I'm pointing out the lack of criticism for clips like the one above. There's not even reserved judgment until we know what got hit and who died, just full throated support based only on the name of the city being bombed. I'm the only one here wanting evidence that these attacks are targeting anything of value and limiting non combatant deaths.
Remember when Israel was criticized for half-hearted pamphlet dropping to warn of barrages? All the scorn at Israel's reports of the use of human shields? The outrage over bombing population centers and refugee camps allegedly hiding rockets? Zionists saying Palestinians deserved bombing because they elected Hamas and had parties celebrating Oct 7 and X% of Palestines supported Y?
I'm seeing the exact same comments in reverse. Just read the comments on this post. But this time nobody bats an eye because the "right" people are dying.
These aren't people being tried for their crimes, not even people being picked out and put in front of a firing squad. This is an explosion in a city. You have no clue who might have been in that area any more than I do.
How many residents have fired a weapon against a Palestinian? 30% if you're being generous? That's about the same as the population of children.
You're OK with those odds? Or does your form of communism always cheer at indiscriminate death so long as some of the right people get caught in it? If X% of the population drinks the apartheid propoganda kool-aid it's open season? What's your number?
"But did you consider the liberal morals we imposed onto you???"
No. No morals, only anti-imperialism.
Idk, I think we should have sympathy for people being kill because of war at all times.
I don't know who lived in the place that was bombed there, but unless I have reason to believe that that person is somehow responsible for the genocide, why would I hate them?
Israel is obviously filled with genocidal people, and those who support genocide are not going to get my sympathy, but there are those who are actively fighting it even. So I do feel sympathy for innocent people dying because of genocidal governments and their need to bomb every living thing around them.
It's like feeling bad when Berlin was bombed.
Like yeah there are of course some innocents there, but the majority are involved in either the war machine or the genocide.
Comment sections have been absolutely fucked since this started. I've seen some reports that these are hitting military targets but apparently I should be cheering about rockets landing a few dozen meters from this apartment?
I remember a video of an Israeli rocket hitting just outside a shop window in Yemen/Iran at a similar distance and people were balking that it could be hitting anything of strategic importance. Suddenly pictures of collapsed apartments and hospitals are fine because it's the guys you don't like?
Apparently it's a bad take for me to think civilians shouldn't be bombed regardless of how much Zionist brainwashing they have. People talking about "they deserve it" and pointing to Isreal opinion polls showing 60% support X awful thing. Last time I checked, a rocket doesn't take a survey before it explodes. So 4/10 people in that explosion deserve to die by association?
You all make me sick, down vote away.

By all means, I'll take evidence that they've been hitting military targets. My issue is with people cheering videos like this lacking any of that evidence at all.
And no, having a bunker doesn't make a civilian population fair game. It's the same thing as crowding people into internment camps while you level their neighborhood.

But it's okay because they're 'the good guys'.
Welcome to war, where human rights are optional and at the discretion of a select few. People will cheer for death like it's a gladitorial arena, while others act to mitigate as much suffering as possible. Still others will turn away in disgust and become recluse. No answer is correct; at least until the victor writes the history.
My only (personal) recouse is to focus on my impact at a community level, and hope that I get enough power, money, or influence to eventually do more.
We don't really know how many "Joe six-pack" iranians support this confrontation. Often, even people who are against a government will support warring against a perceived enemy, which is why so many leaders, when in trouble at home, start wars. See Putin, Bush, Netanyahu, maybe Trump next, and a looong list.

Market decisions are dynamic and constantly changing when new information is available.
At one point the market decided that My Space was the top social media platform, then it changed, many times.
Which path sounds better to you?
Monero
I have nothing against Bitcoin Cash. I just see no need for it.
The issue with Monero is that it cannot scale to world adoption levels.
It is fine as a niche coin for certain use cases and I like it as well but I have migrated to BCH as it is the future.
The stress test a year ago showed Monero tops out ~700k TX per day and node problems started around 300-500k. This is likely a fundamental flaw and will not be able to go much beyond this TX volume unless there is a complete redesign/rewrite.
BCH has good privacy with CashFusion and in a couple of years it will have 100% private tokens, we will have Monero as a token on BCH. This is much better because we get full access to all exchanges that BCH is on plus world scale and supreme privacy.
My bet is on BCH.
What GNU + Linux software could enable deep integration of backup, sync, and transfer; just as convenient and beginner-friendly (edit: and efficient) as what Apple provides?
- iCloud backup restore or peer-to-peer transfer, very early in the device setup process
- Two ways for things to be stored in iCloud, each with a corresponding list of per-app (not per-folder) toggle switches in iCloud Settings
- "Saved to iCloud" normal syncing
- Requires apps to use the right APIs and to handle conflicting changes
- Allows same data to be read and modified by multiple devices
- iCloud backup
- Available for all apps
- Separate backup per device
- Only downloaded when setting up a new device
- In app sandboxes, only excludes
tmp (Flatpak equivalent is somewhere in /run) and Library/Caches (equivalent to cache directory in Flatpak sandbox) by default- Allows apps to set
isExcludedFromBackup attribute for specific files (useful for things that are easy to recreate via download but are expected by the user to not be automatically deleted)- Includes system configuration such as home screen layout
- Backs up a list of installed apps without backing up their executables and assets
- Synced list of previously installed apps, not separate per-device

For backup, one can simply rsync their entire home directory.
NFS for shared directory, maybe syncthing to have locally synced stuff, scp for sharing files?
you want a solution for your computer? or for your phone?
if it's for your phone and it is still iOS then no, the Apple Ecosystem is closed, there are some reverse engineered offers but they tend to be patched out or not be reliable.
Essentially, I use tar for backup, NFS / Samba for local file sharing, and git for syncing. (For specific cases, software like Zim wiki that stores to a git backend).
And it is not that I have not tried alternative solutions - for example, I tried the Coda file system. But blending version-controlled syncing and file distribution leads to devilishly complex corner cases and failure modes.
Maybe not beginner friendly yet but all the pieces are there.
[…] just as convenient and beginner-friendly as what Apple provides?
There's a reason why Apple is able to charge so much money for that — and that reason is that the answer to your question is no.
Oh, and there is also bup, which might be what you are looking for:
- it stores files in version-controlled copies which can be synced. Perhaps good for backing up photos and such, up to a few GB.
Two more interesting solutions:
- Nix OS and Guix SD let you define a system entirely from single configuration file, so it is easy to re-create when needed.
- The Btrfs and ZFS file systems allow to take snapshots in an instant which can very efficiently store earlier versions of files. I used that when working with yocto/bitbake, which compiles an entire embedded system from source - it can handle much larger data volumes than git or bup, and is the right thing when handling versions of binary data.
And one more, the rsync tool allows to store hard-linked copies of directory trees.
The key question is however - what do you want?
- being able to recover earlier versions is essential when working with source code
- being able to merge such versions in text files is necessary when working on code cooperatively with others - and only source control systems can do this well
- In 99.9% of the other cases, you just want to be able to re-create a single ground-truth version of all your data after a disaster, and keep that backup copy as current as possible.
These are not the same requirements, especially the volume of data will differ.
And also, while you might to want or need to go patch by patch through conflicting source code tree with 10,000 different lines, I guess that absolutely nobody is willing or has time to go through a tree with 10,000 conflicting photographs and match them.
So the question back is: What is your specific use case and what exactly do you want to achieve?
Every system has its own processes. If you want Apple software and services use Apple. If you want Linux use Linux. Do not expect either to be like the other especilly at such a micro level.
As far as Linux and beginner friendly, buy a device with Linux preinstalled just like you do with Apple. As far as user setting and apps. Get a notebook and write them down, and avoid deep customizations. As far as backup get 3 USB drives and backup your home directory with rsync or one of the other solutions. As far as restore, have install media and just reinstall from scratch then layer in your configs and apps and then restore your home directory files. For file sync and app sync functions, Nextcloud is helpful and you can pay for a commercial host, set it up yourself, or use a product like Synology. You frankly could use Dropbox, Proton Drive, or one of the others also. But think carefully what is actually needed. Cloud stuff is heavily promoted by the big providers presumably for lockin reasons and to mine your data but it is not really needed for most things. Get to know your distros builtin emergency startup tools and have a live distro like the live install media available and know how to use them.
Linux is about options but for simple beginner like processes it is best to stick to the basics.
As others suggested the backend is probably already installed on most computers but not setup, namely :
- ssh to manage passworldless across multiple computers (you need that for data to be safe)
- scp/rsync/rdiff-backup to actually copy the data thanks to ssh keys
One could imagine a dedicated user per machine that is for read-only of data (maybe after some encryption, limited to very specific directoriess) and another for storing only of data (with no access except to write on disk and with a maximum quota).
What this highlight though is that the centralized managed cloud model is challenging to replicate as purely p2p at home, namely backing up your phone to your desktop might be find but the other way around, probably not. Maybe even more challenging, what do you actually backup? I would argue your home directory but... clearly not your e.g. Steam games (humongous) or other backups or video files downloaded from the Web. So... probably a select set of directories in home then, but which ones? ~/Documents only? This specific part implies some decision from the end user.
Anyway I believe all the tools are there, but I think what most people lack is to view the result and for that maybe some equivalent of gitlab.com/ikus-soft/rdiffweb/ which shows when was the last backup done, how big it was, etc basically some form of visual to feel safe.
Finally to skip the CLI key management part the closest I know, for end users, is KDE Connect kdeconnect.kde.org/ which I discovered after building my own git.benetou.fr/utopiah/offline… kind of equivalent, namely a way to use devices on LAN. Backup is not a default feature though but could be.

I’m accidentally becoming a #FediMerch guy.
Shiny stickers
Last year, I wrote a blog post, Fediverse for Freedom – which was about the importance of a free and open Fediverse, and how and why public institutions can support it. Since then, I’ve referred to this blog post in many of my talks and in conversations, and started to use the hashtag #FediverseForFreedom.
Ahead of FOSDEM back in February, I created some stickers to share – a Fediverse logo, overlaid with the text “I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance #FediverseForFreedom”. They were quite a hit at the time, and since then I’ve used the same image in presentations. When people have seen them, I’ve quite often been asked where they came from.
Last week, Elena Rossini – writer of the fantastic The Future is Federated blog/newsletter, talented filmmaker and photographer, and (perhaps) the Fediverse’s Number One Fan – released a great, four minute video that both explains and promotes the Fediverse and open platforms not owned by billionaires1
videos.elenarossini.com/videos…
One of the stickers shows up in several shots of the the video, and once again, I heard that people would like to be able to get some for themselves.
A simple site
I’ve been wanting to make the stickers available for a while, but the release of the video finally pushed me into getting this done!
I’d recently bought some stickers myself, from the talented Robb Knight, and he mentioned that he used Stripe Payment Links for his site. I already had a Stripe account, so thought I’d try the same thing.
So: now you can visit fediverseforfreedom.org (.com points to .org), and click on a link to to get a handful of stickers shipped in your direction! You can also easily just tell your friends, “oh yeah, I got them from Fediverse For Freedom dot org”. Nice and straightforward.
There’s a bit more information about it all on that simple site, but I thought it might be interesting to write down a bit more about how I made it.
The site is running on Codeberg Pages. Previously I’ve put these kinds of one-off, single page sites up on GitHub Pages, or on Glitch. I’m feeling increasingly less comfortable about having all of my stuff on GitHub and hosted in the US; and, unfortunately, Glitch is going away soon (more on this in a future post). So in this case I chose Codeberg Pages, although I’m aware that they are themselves a platform that is currently in maintenance mode. I’m open to suggestions for similar sites, as I’ll need to migrate some Glitch apps somewhere very soon!
Apart from that: the whole operation is very low tech. Stripe Payment Links are convenient – Stripe itself can handle a huge variety of payment types – but, on the backend… it does not do much. No order acknowledgement emails, order management tools, or anything like that. All I get is a basic dashboard with information about the orders. I whipped up some simple Python that uses the Stripe API to grab the postal addresses of orders, and then creates SVG address labels for printing. The same code also grabs the email addresses so that I can send an email thanking the customer for the order.
In terms of shipping, that’s also a manual process – no “drop-shipping” here, I’m getting the stickers from my regular supplier (StickerApp), putting them in envelopes, and posting them out myself. That also means that delivery times will vary – although I had enough in stock to cover all of the initial orders, I’ve also been in Amsterdam for the past 3 days, so the first batch will go out on Monday.
One more thing I’m experimenting with here is GoatCounter, just to get a sense of traffic and interest. I didn’t want to put a load of invasive Google Analytics onto such a basic page, and I’ve had GoatCounter recommended to me a few times now – like Mastodon, it has also benefited from NLNet funding from the European Union in the past, and I wanted to see what was possible. It seems to do just what I wanted, whilst also being unintrusive.
What’s next?
Look… I don’t intend to become some kind of merch magnate, but I do know that some people share my own desire to display our commitment to the Fediverse and related causes, and if I can help folks to do so, then I will (did you know we already made a t-shirt? Elena has asked me for more in the same vein!).
If you want to look for other ways to show your support in public, and to give back to people or projects that work on tools that you use, take a look at the Awesome Fediverse Merch list that Jeff Sikes is curating. Plenty of options for everyone.
Finally – remember to support the creators of your favourite sites, services, and open source software directly, whenever you can!
- Remember, as I heard in a keynote at the PublicSpaces conference this week: “the Internet is currently controlled by four or five fucked up right wing white men” – it’s time to rewild the internet, and take ownership of our data and choices. ↩︎

How can we combine two audio recording inputs (mics) into one audio input source in Manjaro?
My partner and I are running Manjaro and very new to it. Trying to switch as much as possible over to daily use with Manjaro.
We have pipewire, not pulseaudio
We record multiple times a week on OBS, and my partner and I are in the same room. We have two mics side by side both inputs going into my PC. Linux, and therefore OBS, are recognizing the two mic inputs separately as you might expect.
OBS can set up both of these separate inputs, but the issue is we're having significant problems with echo and the noise suppression/noise gates are not sufficient.
This was not an issue on windows, where we used Voicemeeter to combine our inputs into one mic for OBS. I am looking to emulate that on Linux to see if it solves our problems.
We have tried a mic merge sink, but it creates an OUTPUT device, not an input device.
SOLUTION:
QPWGraph was the answer (or something like it, Helvum was also recommended) While it looks intimidating at first you just need to understand it's a series of outputs and inputs and you play mix and match. This allowed us to take the outputs of the mics and connect them directly to a single OBS mic source. This 100% did all that Voicemeeter was doing for us, and the results were also the same.
We do not experience echo, overlap, feedback, or any of the issues we were having by adding the two mics separately in OBS. Our issue was NOT the setup, as some people focused on here. As soon as we got the mics going into that same input, all was good and we successfully ran a recording session 100% in Manjaro.
In the end, this did everything we wanted from Voicemeeter + MORE, as I can now isolate different outputs as well. So for instance in recordings I can manage the volume of discord and the background music separately. So this was an amazing solution and the result was exactly what was needed, and ultimately was much easier than Voicemeeter.
Thank you to those here that recommended it, and the people at the Manjaro forums.

I can think of some commercial audio processors that can help with that, but they are super pricey.
I can't think of a linux application that has this capability. If there is something out there that offers AEC (acoustic echo cancellation) on linux with two mic inputs, id also be interested.
One way to help with this as far as inexpensive hardware is to make sure you're using cardioid dynamic microphones, and not omnidirectional condenser microphones. Cardioid dynamic mics generally pick up audio directionally, like from the "front". You have to be right up on the mic in order to have it record any type of audio. They generally wont pick up environmental sound from anything more than a few feet away. You can just point them away from noise you don't want to pick up.
Yes, I'm sure there are multiple professional software solutions that are expensive but can do it. Reconfiguring the equipment is much cheaper.
Even basic stuff like teleconferencing software can do it, like do y that when Zoom is playing audio it doesn't pick it back up through a desk mic, unless the feedback is really bad.

We have a setup that works fine with Windows, so I refuse accept that we cannot make it work the same way with Linux. I feel like a lot of people here are not focusing on the main questions we had about how we can achieve a goal.
We figured out how to merge the mic inputs into a single sink, but it's an output. We used this post to achieve it. This helps us, and works for Discord. On Discord the echo is not a problem, but it's using the built in Krisp to do noise suppression, so that might be part of it.
On Windows, as described in OP, we used VoiceMeteer to combine the inputs. It's possible this was achieving some kind of noise suppression too, but I don't see how or why that would be the case. Either way, in Windows, there is no echo problem. We use the same exact setup to be on Discord and record our inputs through OBS without any echo.

No this is not our issue, but thanks for the responses.
We have excellent mics and set up, and we run this set up for years just fine on windows. So all the assistance I am looking for is how to combine our inputs into one on Manjaro.
My partner's other post says more which I might as well not repeat: sh.itjust.works/post/40171565/…

A software solution is fine for us. We cannot change mic arrangement any more than it already is due to physical restraints in room. The mics are faced away from each other. They are good quality XLR mics and run through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.
You were depending on heavy real time post processing in software
Are you talking about Voicemeteer?
what are you recording for
We play TTRPGs online via Discord and FoundryVTT, and record the sessions. We use OBS to capture webcams on Discord, the virutal tabletop, desktop audio for other people's voices/music from the vtt, and mic audio for our voices.
On Windows, we used Voicemeteer to combine our mics. We could use this resulting combination for both OBS and Discord. Since we cannot find similar software so far for linux, we came across the solution I linked above. It works for getting our mics to be combined into one for Discord, but doesn't show up as an input in OBS. We cannot get OBS to "listen to" the combined sink output.
So, instead, we just set them up as two different mics in OBS. This would be fine, except the recording as the echo problem. Over Discord, I assume because it's getting Krisp noise suppression applied, there is no echo. But after listening to the OBS recording, there is echo. So, a software solution to noise/echo suppress might be what we need as well, but that's why we're asking for help.
Voicemeteer also seems to be a mystery to y’all.
I don't appreciate your condescending tone, tbh. If you are not interested in helping us, you can stop replying.
Voicemeteer was taking our two mics and turning them into a single source that we could then feed to Discord and OBS. That should be it. I'm not completely sure it wasn't applying some other kind of filters, but I don't think it was, that's not what it's supposed to do. So let's say we have Mic Source 1 and Mic Source 2. Voicemeteer took the input from both of those and combined them into Combined Source. We then pointed OBS and Discord to use Combined Source. That's all we're trying to achieve on Linux right now.
Krisp is a feature of Discord. It is available on Linux. We have used this post to accomplish what we want to do with Discord, but this solution does not work for OBS. On Discord, others on call do not report hearing this echo effect. It only appears in OBS recording when we use Mic Source 1 and Mic Source 2. I am not convinced that Krisp is a factor here, as we have tested with it off, but I felt it was worth mentioning. It seems to have confused the situation though.

(reposting this in a higher comment for other people to potentially see)
Y’all need carpet on the floors, maybe something on the walls, and to be facing each other from across the table with cardiod mics.
The room is not professionally treated for sound, but we do have one wall (behind the mics) 90% covered with 2" sound dampening foam. Lots of stuff on the other walls, rugs, etc. It is not a bare-bones room. Our mics are good quality cardioid mics and while our setups are not 180° back-to-back, the mics point away from each other when in use. I don’t know if I can explain well enough with words, but we sit side-by-side with the mics between us on arms. They swing down between us, stretch out towards us, and point away from each other. They are about 1.5 to 2 feet apart from each other, pointed away, when in use.
I've just created an OBS audio capture device, then opened qpwgraph and put both mic's into it.
It should do what you want, but I am not sure that will fix the problem. Give it a shot and let us know.
I definitely recommend playing around with easyeffects a bit more as well.

2025 Medina Juneteenth Celebration
Medina held their fourth annual Juneteenth celebration at the town square today. I was able to check out some of it, even with the wet weather. It was the Sanyuka Children’s Choir from Uganda who impressed me the most with their energy and dancing. Kenny Crumpton from Fox 8’s Kickin’ It With Kenny and Danita Harris from WKYC Channel 3 were also featured guest speakers at the event.

Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposes
Greetings,
I recently setup my own NetBSD server to learn more about selfhosting and Unix. I am sharing it with anyone who also want to learn about command line and server stuff and will be also providing mentorship ( not an expert but know enough to at least teach begginers).
stuff I can teach using that server:
- basic command line
- how to host stuff like static HTML pages
- ssh concepts
- hosting http alternative like Gemini, Gopher etc
- scripting in Bash, Python etc
so yeah, if you think you or someone else is interested in learning NetBSD share this post with them 😀
( again this is just for begginers only please don't sign up if you are already an expert or intermediate )
