How a Pentagon account on X became Pete Hegseth’s personal cheerleader
While it’s true no president or political leader has ever used social media quite as prolifically as Donald Trump, no recent secretary of defense has ever weaponized X or any other platform, quite like former Fox & Friends weekend host, Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth is actively reshaping the Pentagon in his own image since taking over, prompting a social media policy that has taken a dramatic turn towards supporting Hegseth’s every move and public appearance.
Part of that has been the resurrection of the Pentagon’s so-called “rapid response team”. Originally the name of a public relations brainchild of former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld to combat what he saw as Iraq war disinformation, the new team seems to have a similar mandate according to its X account: “Fighting Fake News!”

Prosecutors drop Maccabi assault cases after Amsterdam metro footage erased
Dutch prosecutors have allegedly dismissed multiple criminal complaints involving Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters after surveillance footage from Amsterdam’s metro system—potentially key evidence—was discovered to have been deleted due to equipment replacement and short retention policies, according to NOS.
The Public Prosecution Service (OM) confirmed it has dropped two separate investigations into violent incidents involving Maccabi supporters that took place around a match against Ajax in November last year. The incidents occurred in the metro system, where confrontations broke out between groups of supporters and counter-protesters. Footage that could have supported the allegations was reportedly not preserved, the OM said Sunday.
Transport company GVB acknowledged that the video recordings were lost because recording devices were replaced on November 12—five days after the unrest in the city. "Unfortunately, this necessary replacement, combined with a limited retention period, resulted in the footage no longer being available," a GVB spokesperson said. The company added that although the standard retention period is one week, recordings are sometimes saved for less time.

Jan-nano, a 4B model that can outperform DeepSeek 671B on certain metrics using MCP
Jan-nano is a model fine-tuned with DAPO on Qwen3-4B. Jan-nano comes with some unique capabilities:
- It can perform deep research (with the right prompting)
- It picks up relevant information effectively from search results
- It uses tools efficiently
The model was evaluated using SimpleQA - a relatively straightforward benchmark to test whether the model can find and extract the right answers.
Jan-nano outperforms Deepseek-671B on this metric, using an agentic and tool-usage-based approach. A 4B model obviously has its limitations, but it's interesting to see how far these things can be pushed. Jan-nano can serve as your self-hosted Perplexity alternative on a budget.

Migrating qbit data from Mac to Linux
Hello all,
I'm having some issues that probably stem from lack of education on computers, so if some kind soles out there can give me some assistance I'd very much appreciate it.
My immediate goal is to take all my torrent data from my MacBook qbittorrent (latest version) to my old laptop that I just loaded ElementaryOS on. This way I can have my files seeding at all times instead of when I have my mac up and running. I have all the actual media on a external SSD so I don't have to or want to redownload all the torrents on the Elementary pc.
I've done some basic reading but all the articles and youtube vids I see are just migrating from one windows to another windows machine. Duplicating the data in the app data and drag and dropping it. I've even seen the recommendation to have the same version of qbittorrent to make the swap easy. Now my under educated mind is confused on going from Mac to Linux since its a completely different OS and therefore a different "version" of qbit. I imagine its possible but I'm feeling out of my depth.
I'd really love if someone can point me in the right direction if they can.
On the Mac, open qbittorrent, select all torrents in the client, and export them as torrent files or magnets, whichever you prefer.
Copy all the torrent/magnet files to a thumb drive or something and copy them to the elementary laptop.
On the elementary laptop, start without an internet connection. Connect the external drive with all the downloaded files, mount it if elementary doesn't auto mount it, and note the path.
Open qbittorrent.
Set the default save path in qbittorrent to the path of the mounted drive with all of your downloaded files.
If you want to do it in bulk, now add all the torrent files to QBittorrent. You may have to verify the file location for the torrents to make sure it sees the files on the drive.
Once you're certain all the loaded torrents are pointing to the save path for the files, you can close qbittorrent, connect the laptop to the internet, and relaunch qbittorrent.
It should verify all the files it finds for the torrents, which can take some time if you have a lot of torrents, and once verified it'll automatically start seeding
Goid luck!!
That's the process I've used when switching machines for seeding, and it works great, just takes time for it to recheck all the files.
I followed your guide and everything works perfectly now! Thanks so much. I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a follow up question since you seem wise in the ways of wizardry.
I’m hoping to make this old laptop a jellyfin server as well. And this may seem a dumb question but I’d be remiss not to ask. I’m planning to leave this plugged in all the time. I already turned off the sleep/suspend feature. Is it safe to keep the battery in? To remove the battery I’d have to open it up and remove it and I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.
Again thanks for your previous advice and if you have the time to answer this double thanks

'Immediate' Pirate IPTV Shutdowns? No Problem, Please Ask Us Yesterday
Sports rightsholders have revised their calls for illegal streams to be taken down inside 30 mins. It must now happen much more quickly, with the word 'immediately' given the thumbs up. How much of this additional pressure is bargaining strategy isn't clear, but in site-blocking countries like Italy, the UK, and Canada, detecting pirate infrastructure isn't a last minute effort. Many targets earmarked for blocking are identified not just hours in advance, but in some cases days earlier.

Why boycotting the Harry Potter TV show accomplishes nothing and what to do instead.
I have to say, this is just such an in-the-weeds moral stance that it crosses the boundary of reasonableness. Honestly, it's this sort of thing that drove me away from left wing styles of thinking a while ago.
The impact you make on the world in any of your possible actions with regard to Harry Potter is miniscule. Like, truly, utterly insignificant. Are you going to organize an anti-potter boycott? Participate in a protest? Harass the actors in an online trolling movement? Throw eggs at JK Rawling's house? Great! Go do all those things! Actively participate in changing the world for the better! These actions might actually lead to real change.
But denying yourself pleasures in the name of moral purity accomplishes nothing. If all you do is sit at home and think to yourself "I wanna watch the new Harry Potter thing, but I can't, because then I'm a bad person." (or in this case, "I wanna talk to my friends about the new Harry Potter thing I pirated, but I can't, because then I'm a bad person) then you are accomplishing literally nothing except making yourself miserable. Again, if you are going to actually do something, then go do it! But if you don't have the time or energy or interest or social battery to actually do something, then shaming yourself or others into not doing things is actively counterproductive. Go take a road trip without calculating if the pleasure you will derive is worth the carbon footprint! Eat an ice cream cone without feeling bad about the the suffering of the factory farmed cow it came from! Get one of those good-paying jobs in oil and gas or defence and make some goddamned money! You are simply not important enough for any of these actions to have any actual real-world impact. The only thing that happens is that you convince yourself that if you ever enjoy anything, then you are a bad person. You train yourself to constantly be looking for the ways in which life's simple pleasures are destroying the world, so you can feel bad about them.
Just stop it. Be happy. Do whatever you need to do to chill out and enjoy your life and gain some sense of contentedness and security. And then go out and make the world a better place by actually doing something. Hyper-anxious, shame-ridden, depressed know-it-alls rarely create effective social change because no one wants to hang out with them. No one see them and thinks "yeah, that's what I want my life to look like."
In order to lead by example you have to show a path to a better world. Not a cell.

“The squirt guns are to bother the tourists a bit,” Andreu Martínez said with a chuckle after spritzing a couple seated at an outdoor cafe. “Barcelona has been handed to the tourists. This is a fight to give Barcelona back to its residents.”Martínez says his rent has risen over 30% as more apartments in his neighborhood are rented to tourists for short-term stays. He said there is a knock-on effect of traditional stores being replaced by businesses catering to tourists, like souvenir shops, burger joints and “bubble tea” spots.
“Our lives, as lifelong residents of Barcelona, is coming to an end,” he said. “We are being pushed out systematically.”
They have a point. People may dismiss this as “xenophobia” but I see it more as a matter of class divisions where rich tourists are prioritised over lower class residents.

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. The Homeserver Terms and Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly and deployed in the coming 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.

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) | sort
After 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) | sort
I still have no real use case for this one liner, its mainly just for fun.
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.
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.

Bitcoin Core (BTC) vs. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) - Which is the Real Bitcoin?
Source: https://youtu.be/Hieb9b4XQ8AOdysee
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

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.A small pile of I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance stickers
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. ↩︎
