gigarivista scottiaca con segretissimo numero, trovato così nel vedere colì
A distanza di 2 anni (…io pensavo 1), chi si ricorda Scottecs Gigazine? Probabilmente nessuno, neppure io onestamente. Però, l’altro giorno mi è tornato in mente che esiste, giusto per caricare su TomoStash una manciata di volumi molto vecchi che ho trovato sull’agrodolce Archivio di Anna… e ok. Però poi ieri ho aperto il sito ufficiale della rivista gigante, per includere i link e per copincollare le descrizioni deitomi, e lì ho scoperto non una, ma ben due (2) cose assurde… furbuffe, quasi. (!) 😱Innanzitutto, esiste un numero speciale del Gigazine, il Numero Zero XL, che è esclusivamente digitale e gratuito!!! Non l’ho mai sentito prima, e in effetti è bello nascosto sul sito, tutto in fondo alla lista dei prodotti… sarà un regalo per i ficcanaso, e io approvo. La cosa strana però è che non si vede alcun tasto per scaricare, o che… l’unica cosa che a fatica trovo è il tasto “aggiungi al carrello secondario”, scrollando in fondo alla pagina, dove appare come flyout, ma… clicco e non funziona, semplicemente il testo si trasforma in una rotellina che gira all’infinito. Per sicurezza ho provato anche dal browser dei pensionati, che “non si sa mai che su Firefox magari è tutto rotto, specialmente il mio con 31 estensioni“, ma niente. 😓
Grande terrore, quindi. Ho temuto di non poter mettere le mani su questo PDF elusivissimo. Giusto un attimo prima di aprire i devtools del browser, per capire cosa va storto e non posso sistemare (qualcosa nel loro tema di Shopify, il JavaScript tira un errore
Uncaught TypeError: this.form is null: initCartBar@theme.js [...]), però, per nessun motivo particolare se non il fatto che ci fosse un pallino “1” nell’angolo, il bottone della chat ha catturato la mia attenzione, e l’ho cliccato… e lì ho riso. Perché tra le tante “risposte immediate” c’è “Non riesco a scaricare il Numero 0 XL“, che ho quindi cliccato, e il bot ha risposto “Gigaciao! Non ti preoccupare, utilizza il link qui sotto e scarica il Numero 0 XL! https://gigaciao.com/a/downloads/-/92f4529bab5bf4e…“. 🤯Cioè… fatemi capire bene… Loro sanno perfettamente che il loro sito è rotto e il download non può partire, e non solo non sistemano semplicemente lo spacc nel codice, ma nemmeno mettono il link diretto al download nel testo della pagina… No, bisogna che l’utente abbia l’intuizione di scavare in altre parti del sito, in questo caso la chat di supporto, per trovare lì finalmente l’oggetto digitale tanto agognato! Regà, boh, è così assurdo che a questo punto non posso non pensare non sia stato fatto apposta; va bene i problemi, va bene l’incompetenza, ma qui siamo oltre: mi sa che è davvero una caccia al tesoro per chi ha abbastanza pazienza come me. Vabbè, tanto ora il numero 0 è ricaricato sul mio sito… e comunque ci ho perso solo 2-3 minuti, ma in cambio ho subito questa user experience assurda da raccontare. 👌

Experimental Piefed support is now available for Voyager
I'm excited to announce that Voyager now has experimental support for logging in with Piefed! You can try it out today on:
This will roll out to the official app stores and vger.app soon(tm), once I’m confident there are no major regressions. If you prefer not to switch to beta builds, just hang tight.
Please note that Piefed support is EXPERIMENTAL! There are still many things that don't work quite right, which I'm hoping to improve over the coming weeks.
The basics including scrolling home/all/local, viewing posts, blocking, commenting and voting should work well. However there are some known issues:
- Can't sign up for a Piefed account in-app, only log in with an existing one
- Subscribed communities list is empty (should be fixed soon!)
- Inbox tab doesn't load
- Comment search doesn't work
- Profile upvoted/downvoted doesn't load
- No moderation tools
- Mark as read doesn't persist
- Creating/editing posts is currently untested
- ...probably a bunch of other stuff too, please let me know below!
Behind the scenes, this interoperability is made possible thanks to aeharding/threadiverse, a new library I am working on to normalize various threadiverse-software APIs. It's open source so any project use it, but it's under heavy development right now. What's cool about this is in the future, adding support for mbin, or whatever else is possible!
Again, feel free to try it out and let me know if there are any more issues to be documented and fixed.
Yesterday I merged in a PR that lets the instance admin set the sizes for thumbnails.
But the real issue is that the thumbnails have a variety of uses - in the PieFed web UI thumbnails are shown quite small so 170px is fine. But some mobile apps might show the thumbnail in a manner that spans the whole screen which is going to need to be at least 350px wide.
I'll make PieFed generate a 500px version of the thumbnail and include that in the API response (as well as the smaller one).
US State Dept. spokesperson says US is the greatest country on Earth... next to Israel.
It truly is impressive how thoroughly Israel has dominated US politics. Like, Russia may have had a huge victory by getting Trump elected, but they don't have shit on Israel. Hell, something like 60% of our elected representatives have received donations from AIPAC, and that's just the stuff that's been reported!

This 88-Year-Old Reporter Predicted How US Would Attack Iran And It has Happened Exactly
Seymour Hersh. Nearly 88, running his Substack, and still outpacing governments, intelligence leaks, and every newsroom, Hersh once again proved why he’s a legend in investigative journalism.
On June 19, he published a detailed exposé revealing that U.S. B-2 bombers and naval forces were preparing a “coordinated assault” on Iran’s key underground nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. He cited unnamed intelligence sources warning the attack was imminent and happening with almost no oversight from Congress or NATO allies.
Many brushed it off. Some called it far-fetched. On Sunday, when President Donald Trump confirmed the strikes and declared the targets “obliterated,” Hersh had already been proven right, two days ahead of the world.
This isn’t Hersh’s first time uncovering what others missed. His 2023 scoop on the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, which he linked to U.S. operations, followed a similar path: ignored at first, later echoed by leaked investigations. The Iran bombing story played out just the same: initial silence, disbelief, then confirmation.
But Hersh’s reporting also points to a bigger shift. More than 60% of Americans now get their breaking news from social media, newsletters, and independent platforms. The reason? Speed, raw reporting, and growing distrust in traditional journalism. Hersh calls it like he sees it, often accusing mainstream reporters of being too close to power to ask real questions.

Seymour Hersh: What I’ve been told is coming in Iran
Full text of paywalled article below.This is a report on what is most likely to happen in Iran, as early as this weekend, according to Israeli insiders and American officials I’ve relied upon for decades. It will entail heavy American bombing. I have vetted this report with a longtime US official in Washington, who told me that all will be “under control” if Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “departs.” Just how that might happen, short of his assassination, is not known. There has been a great deal of talk about American firepower and targets inside Iran, but little practical thinking, as far I can tell, about how to remove a revered religious leader with an enormous following.
I have reported from afar on the nuclear and foreign policy of Israel for decades. My 1991 book The Samson Option told the story of the making of the Israeli nuclear bomb and America’s willingness to keep the project secret. The most important unanswered question about the current situation will be the response of the world, including that of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president who has been an ally of Iran’s leaders.
The United States remains Israel’s most important ally, although many here and around the world abhor Israel’s continuing murderous war in Gaza. The Trump administration is in full support of Israel’s current plan to rid Iran of any trace of a nuclear weapons program while hoping the ayatollah-led government in Tehran will be overthrown.
I have been told that the White House has signed off on an all-out bombing campaign in Iran, but the ultimate targets, the centrifuges buried at least eighty meters below the surface at Fordow, will, as of this writing, not be struck until the weekend. The delay has come at Trump’s insistence because the president wants the shock of the bombing to be diminished as much as possible by the opening of Wall Street trading on Monday. (Trump took issue on social media this morning with a Wall Street Journal report that said he had decided on the attack on Iran, writing that he had yet to decide on a path forward.)
Fordow is home to the remaining majority of Iran’s most advanced centrifuges that have produced, according to recent reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to which Iran is a signatory, nine hundred pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent, a short step from weapons-grade levels.
The most recent Israeli bombing attacks on Iran have made no attempts to destroy the centrifuges at Fordow, which are stored at least eighty meters underground. It has been agreed, as of Wednesday, that US bombers carrying bunker bombs capable of penetrating to that depth, will begin attacking the Fordow facility this weekend.
The delay will give US military assets throughout the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean—there are more than two dozen US Air Force bases and Navy ports in the region—a chance to prepare for possible Iranian retaliation. The assumption is that Iran still has some missile and air force capability that will be on US bombing lists. “This is a chance to do away with this regime once and for all,” an informed official told me today, “and so we might as well go big.” He said, however, “that it will not be carpet bombing.”
The planned weekend bombing will also have new targets: the bases of the Republican Guards, which have countered those campaigning against the revolutionary leadership since the violent overthrow of the shah of Iran in early 1979.
The Israeli leadership under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hopes that the bombings will provide “the means of creating an uprising” against Iran’s current regime, which has shown little tolerance for those who defy the religious leadership and its edicts. Iranian police stations will be struck. Government offices that house files on suspected dissenters in Iran will also be attacked.
The Israelis apparently also hope, so I gather, that Khamenei will flee the country and not make a stand until the end. I was told that his personal plane left Tehran airport headed for Oman early Wednesday morning, accompanied by two fighter planes, but it is not known whether he was aboard.
Only two thirds of Iran’s population of 90 million are Persians. The largest minority groups include Azeris, many of whom have long-standing covert ties to the Central Intelligence Agency, Kurds, Arabs, and Baluchis. Jews make up a small minority group there, too. (Azerbaijan is the site of a large secret CIA base for operations in Iran.)
Bringing back the shah’s son, now living in exile in near Washington, has never been considered by the American and Israeli planners, I was told. But there has been talk among the White House planning group that includes Vice President J.D. Vance, of installing a moderate religious leader to run the country if Khamenei is deposed. The Israelis bitterly objected to the idea. “They don’t give a shit on the religious issue, but demand a political puppet to control,” the longtime US official said. “We are split with the Izzies on this. Result would be permanent hostility and future conflict in perpetuity, Bibi desperately trying to draw US in as their ally against all things Muslim, using the plight of the citizens as propaganda bait.”
There is the hope in the American and Israeli intelligence communities, I was told, that elements of the Azeri community will join in a popular revolt against the ruling regime, should one develop during the continued Israeli bombing. There also is the thought that some members of the Revolutionary Guard would join in what I was told might be “a democratic uprising against the ayatollahs”—a long-held aspiration of the US government. The sudden and successful overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in Syria was cited as a potential model, although Assad’s demise came after a long civil war.
It is possible that the result of the massive Israeli and US bombing attack could leave Iran in a state of permanent failure, as happened after the Western intervention in Libya in 2011. That revolt resulted in the brutal murder of Muammar Gaddafi, who had kept the disparate tribes there under control. The futures of Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, all victims of repeated outside attacks, are far from settled.
Donald Trump clearly wants an international win he can market. To accomplish that, he and Netanyahu are taking America to places it has never been.

Many times throughout my life, what would seem like a reasonably easy question to answer has changed dramatically.
30 years ago you could look at data collection and go there's no way that they could store a meaningful amount of data about everyone.
20 years ago you could look at data collection and go there's no way they could have the contents of every phone call It's just targeted it's not a big deal
We are the point now, where everything you ever wrote or said could be thrown into a model with such unimaginable levels of lossy compression that they could simply ask it if you are the kind of person who is into whatever the future administration deems as unacceptable and deny you access to things. All you need is a fascist regime or a dictatorship installed and all of a sudden anything you ever did can be used as grounds to lock you up.
On a governmental budget it wouldn't even be that expensive and we're just at the beginning of this.
We have seen that governments can change quickly, We know the data collection is affordable and can be permanent.
Certainly some people privacy-minded to the point of compulsion. But I can't say that anyone is wrong to seek extreme levels of privacy based on trends and capabilities.
They leave your cell phone at home and make sure somebody opens your apps and uses them people aren't anywhere near as crazy as they used to sound

Dal 27 al 30 giugno musica e gastronomia nella Sagra del Salame di Turgia a Devesi Di Ciriè (To)
La frazione Devesi di Ciriè si prepara a ospitare l’ottava edizione della Sagra del Salame di Turgia, evento che celebra uno dei prodotti più tipici del Ciriacese e delle Valli di Lanzo: il “Salam ëd Turgia” in piemontese, o “Salàm eud Tueurdji” in francoprovenzale. Si tratta di un salume preparato con carne di vacca, lardo e pancetta suina, aromatizzato con sale, pepe, aglio, vino rosso e spezie, poi insaccato nel budello torto di bovino. “Turgia” in piemontese indica una vacca sterile, ma può riferirsi anche a un esemplare giovane.
Organizzata dalla Pro Loco Dveisin Festareul e patrocinata dalla Città metropolitana di Torino, la manifestazione si terrà da venerdì 27 a lunedì 30 giugno in località Colombari, in occasione della festa patronale di San Pietro Apostolo. Una quattro giorni dedicata al gusto e alla tradizione, dove sarà possibile assaporare il Salame di Turgia in un clima di convivialità, accompagnato da altre specialità locali. La preparazione del salame affonda le radici nella cultura contadina e nelle famiglie che ne tramandano i segreti, rendendolo simbolo di identità e amore per il territorio.
Il programma prevede musica dal vivo, spettacoli e animazioni. Si parte venerdì 27 con l’inaugurazione affidata a Sonia De Castelli, cantante e volto noto della TV. Sabato 28 spazio alla discoteca mobile Energia. Domenica 29 salirà sul palco Luca Giordano, mentre lunedì 30 chiusura con l’orchestra Enrico Negro. Durante la sagra ci saranno anche momenti divertenti, come il Chupito San Peru e la gara di tiro alla fune domenicale.

Mahmoud Khalil Discusses 3-Month Detention in First Interview Since Release
By Jonah E. Bromwich
June 22, 2025 Updated 8:10 p.m. ETThe administration argued that he had contributed to the spread of antisemitism through his role in the protests at the university.
But Mr. Khalil, a Palestinian born in a Syrian refugee camp, rejected the idea that protesting against Israel is inherently antisemitic.
“I was not doing anything antisemitic,” he said. “I was literally advocating for the right of my people. I was literally advocating for an end of a genocide. I was advocating that the tuition fees that I and other students pay don’t go toward investing in weapons manufacturers. What’s antisemitic about this?”

The city’s leaders are weighing a landmark ordinance that, if passed, would make New Orleans the first U.S. city to formally legalize continuous facial surveillance by police officers.The move follows revelations that, for two years, the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) quietly used automated alerts from a privately operated camera network known as Project NOLA that bypassed the strictures of the city’s 2022 ordinance which explicitly banned such practices. Project NOLA is a non-profit surveillance network founded by ex-police detective Bryan Lagarde.
Despite this, Project NOLA’s network was set to continuously and automatically scan public spaces. Every face that passed within view was compared in real time, and officers were pinged via an app whenever a watchlist match occurred, leaving no requirement for supervisory oversight, independent verification, or adherence to reporting standards.
Opponents argue that automated surveillance everywhere in public spaces raises profound threats to privacy, civil rights, and due process. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Louisiana described the system as a “facial recognition technology nightmare” that enables the government to “track us as we go about our daily lives.”
The wrongful arrest of Randal Reid based on misidentification from still-image facial recognition is touted as highlighting the real-world dangers of facial recognition. Reid is a 29‑year‑old Black logistics analyst from Georgia who was wrongfully arrested in late 2022 and held for six days due to a false facial recognition match.
The ACLU has urged the City Council to reimpose a moratorium and demand an independent audit covering privacy compliance, algorithmic bias, evidence admissibility, record retention, and public awareness. The organization said that NOPD currently lacks any system for logging or disclosing facial-recognition-derived evidence, and Project NOLA operates outside official oversight entirely.
A vote by the City Council is expected later this month. If passed, NOPD and any authorized third party will be legally empowered to scan live public feeds using facial recognition, provided reports are submitted according to the new law.
Meanwhile, NOPD is awaiting the outcome of its internal audit and Kirkpatrick has stated that policy revisions will be guided by the council’s decisions. Meanwhile, the ACLU and partners are preparing to escalate their opposition, pushing for either outright prohibition or deeply strengthened accountability measures.
The decision facing New Orleans encapsulates the broader tension between embracing AI-based public safety tools and protecting civil liberties. Proponents emphasize the edge that real-time intelligence can provide in stopping violent crime and responding to emergencies, while critics warn that indiscriminate surveillance erodes privacy, civil rights, and due-process safeguards.
A few things I feel are very important that none of the recent June articles about this mention:
- The city has managed to keep this all relatively under wraps. Few people are even aware of this, and even if they are they are not aware of the level of surveillance.
- This seems to be being kept in the dark even by people that we should be able to trust. I only found out about the City Council vote this month bc I make a habit of searching for updates about this every so often. I cannot find any information about when the vote is actually scheduled, just sometimes at the end of June. This is the last week of June so presumably this week?
- State Police and ICE can't be regulated by city government. There is a permanent state police force in New Orleans that was established as of last year by Governor Landry.
I believe they have continued using this technology however they please, and there is no real way for the city to regulate how they use it, and who they share it with.

It's not the first time I see your discovery shared and I want to thank you. It won't completely disencourage people around me from using it but it'd pile up with other many reasons to do so. Someday there would be just enough of them, like it happened with VK, Facebook etc, I believe.

in reply to altkey (he\him) • • •What have I done.
I do information security work, and I used to work closely with investigative journalists hailing from Russia, Kazachstan, Ukraine, and other places in that general area. Telegram is massively popular there. Because of this Telegram has been on my radar for a very long time as a serious security threat – not just because its protocol and management are suspect, there are plenty of other IMs like that, but also because of how many people I worked with had used it.
I've written about Telegram before, on amore general level (linked in the blog post), so when IStories reached out to me for comment on this it was a good inspiration to dive deeper.
I would not use it. I refuse to accept that abandoning it is not an option. There are plenty of options. It's always a decision one can make.
Please remember that even if hypothetically you could use it in a way that protects you from the spying – something I am very, very doubtful of! – the mere fact you are using it sucks other people into using it. You personally become one more reason for someone to start using or keep using Telegram. You personally become one more "user" of Telegram, justifying another media organization or NGO to set up or maintain a presence there – which in turn pulls in even more users into the dragnet.
In other words, your decision to use Telegram anyway, even though you know what the issues are, becomes one of the many things that make other people feel that "abandoning is not an option". I refuse to be a part of that. The only thing I can recommend is to stop using it.
I think this hits the nail on the head: If the FSB conection is that deep, there is no end to what they’d want to mine from users.
I don't want to speculate. The possibilities are vast. But I will say what I said in the blogpost: Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot.
I don't trust Telegram the company, I don't trust Telegram the software, I don't trust MTProto. I certainly do not trust Pavel Durov. I don't think we need to speculate on what more could possibly be hiding there, what is already known about Telegram should really be enough to stop using it.

in reply to Andromxda 🇺🇦🇵🇸🇹🇼 • • •The entire article seems like an attack. The author finds a unique identifier and adds "Russia bad" throughout.
States the information is in cleartext but then explains how everything is encrypted (in transit).
What will the author do if they intercepted any single online stores transfer of credit card details. Also encrypted in transit but Is that also deemed as cleartext? Or is that okay?
I don't think much new is learnt here. WhatsApp also sends metadata in "cleartext" (not really, as it's encrypted in transit, but this article called that "cleartext").

in reply to lazynooblet • • •I don't know... I think the author put a lot of effort on document things and presenting evidence.
Your post history and mod logs are also quite weird.

in reply to ses hat • • •I can't say I read the whole thing because the technical analysis went over my head, but I don't think we read the same conclusion
Based on the analysis of packet captures above, I believe it is clear that anyone who has sufficient visibility into Telegram’s traffic would be able to identify and track traffic of specific user devices. Including when perfect forward secrecy protocol feature is in use.
This would also allow, through some additional analysis based on timing and packet sizes, to potentially identify who is communicating with whom using Telegram.

in reply to ses hat • • •Hi, author here. First of all, in that piece I don't happen to recommend using any specific piece of software. I mention Signal and WhatsApp for comparison, as tools that are considered similar, and yet avoid making the same weird protocol choices.
Secondly, if you have any proof that any specific communication tool is used to "spy" on people, I am sure I am not the only person who would love to hear about it. That's the only way we can keep each other safe online. Surely you wouldn't be making unsubstantiated claims and just imply stuff like that without any proof, would you?
And finally, I've spent a good chunk of time and expertise on analyzing Telegram's protocol before I made my claims. I provided receipts. I provided code. I explained in detail my testing set-up. You can yourself go and verify my results.
Instead, you claim it's "propaganda", while mischaracterizing what I say in that post. Classy!
