Under heavy guard, Israel's Ben Gvir leads settler raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque
Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir led hundreds of settlers in storming Al-Aqsa Mosque complex on Sunday, were they loudly performed Jewish Talmudic prayer, under a heavy police guard, and attempted to antagonise Muslim worshippers.
Videos seen by Middle East Eye showed hundreds of settlers storming the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque where some could be seen dancing and shouting, disrupting the sanctity of the Muslim place of worship.
The status quo in Jerusalem has long maintained that Jewish prayer is forbidden on the raised plateau in occupied East Jerusalem's Old City, where Al-Aqsa Mosque stands.
However, over the past century, Zionist groups have repeatedly violated the fragile arrangement, launching unprecedented attacks on one of Islam's holiest sites.

At least 100,000 pro-Palestine marchers, including Julian Assange, the former foreign minister Bob Carr and the government MP Ed Husic, have marched across Sydney Harbour Bridge in the rain to protest against Israel’s conduct in Gaza and to speak out about the children starving there.The world-famous landmark was closed to traffic at 11.30am on Sunday, with protesters gathering in Lang Park in the city centre before enduring heavy rain as they walked across the bridge.
The march began at 1pm, with demonstrators eventually stretching the entire length of the 1.2km Harbour Bridge.
“It’s even bigger than my wildest dreams,” one of the main protest organisers, Josh Lees, told Guardian Australia while at the front of the march. “It’s a mass march for humanity to stop a genocide, our politicians have to now listen to the will of the people and sanction Israel.”

US contractor says team ordered Domino's Pizza to Gaza due to food distribution failure
Aguilar worked with UG Solutions between May and June this year and describes the entire operation as deeply dysfunctional.
“Nothing was open. Nobody could figure out how to get food there,” Aguilar said in an interview with France 24’s Jessica Le Masurier. “So we had the idea of [ordering pizza] in Beersheba and having them make 27 pizzas and deliver them through Wolt, which is the Israeli DoorDash, to the main operations center in Karem Shalom.”
The pizzas were then transported into Gaza in what Aguilar described as “an armored convoy,” eventually reaching Distribution Site 1, where they were handed out to Palestinian local workers, referring to the difficulties in feeding local workers who were assisting GHF operations.
Let me get this straight,” Le Masurier asked. “Safe Reach Solutions was able to bring pizza in when the entire population of Gaza is starving and there are UN aid trucks that are unable to enter Gaza and not allowed to distribute aid while people are starving. But SRS was able to bring in pizza to one of their sites?”
“It’s abhorrent. If it weren’t so tragic, it would be comedy. It’s not comedy, because it is absolutely tragic,” Aguilar said.

What Are Your Experiences With Crypt.ee?

I use it for docs only and quite like it. My biggest complaints are that it doesn't support the dark mode setting server-side, which is quite annoying, and that you have to convert to PDF to print dark mode files, aaaand that if you type in your encryption key it will automatically log you in before you're able to tick the "save this device" setting.
Very minor, really. But I use Immich for photos so I can't speak to that. I'd probably opt for Ente if I were looking for managed hosting.

So I chose to install Ubuntu and Ubuntu studio on top (which as I understand is just adding a bunch of apps and maybe doing some configuring). I am a musician and visual creative. I'd like to know why I made the wrong choice in distro. Hit me with it!

So I tried windows tiling...
And omg! I have slept on this feature for so long. I assumed it was just dragging windows to corners and they snap on to the left or right back or top.
Then, I installed PopOS and saw an explicit button to turn on windows tiling but I was already using the drag function, so I was confused. I turned it on and omg! I have not felt more stupid and happily surprised by a piece of tech in a while.
It just works. I don’t have to be worry about arranging windows a special way for multitasking or for following guides. So much time saved.

I've had good experience with smollm2:135m. The test case I used was determining why an HTTP request from one system was not received by another system. In total, there are 10 DB tables it must examine not only for logging but for configuration to understand if/how the request should be processed or blocked. Some of those were mapping tables designed such that table B must be used to join table A to table C, table D must be used to join table C to table E. Therefore I have a path to traverse a complete configuration set (table A <-> table E).
I had to describe each field being pulled (~150 fields total), but it was able to determine the correct reason for the request failure.
The only issue I've had was a separate incident using a different LLM when I tried to use AI to generate golang template code for a database library I was wanting to use.
It didn't use it and recommended a different library.
When instructed that it must use this specific library, it refused (politely).
That caught me off-guard. I shouldn't have to create a scenario where the AI goes to jail if it fails to use something.
I should just have to provide the instruction and, if that instruction is reasonable, await output.
As someone with a career in manufacturing who lived in the rust belt most of my life: I knew I was fucked financially each time Trump won, even without the needing to move to avoid hostile laws. What American manufacturing needs is affordable housing, reasonable trade, subsidies to start, and to accept that thr future of american manufacturing is high tech manufacturing that relies on our high numbers of engineers and our skilled tradespeople. Well paid, unskilled manufacturing jobs aren't coming back, but sensible forward thinking policies can ensure we have plenty of jobs designing, building, operating, and maintaining advanced and modern manufacturing systems.
Also the fact that our currency is highly valued isnt the best strategy for manufacturing, but it's an excellent strategy for other industries like finance and provides us a powerful ability to purchase foreign goods.

Police in German state to use controversial software by Palantir | dpa international
cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/45358033
Police in the south-western German state of Baden-Württemberg are to be allowed to use the analysis software from US firm Palantir, which is controversial among data protection advocatesThe software was specifically developed for security agencies and is used by intelligence services, the military and police.
Palantir was founded in 2003 in the United States, notably by tech billionaire Peter Thiel. He is known for his libertarian and conservative positions, his closeness to US President Donald Trump and his criticism of liberal democracies.

I guess they’d argue that none of those pesky little data protection laws apply to competent authorities like the police and they’re probably justifying it with the criminal prosecution clause.
Great.
I stand with Israel
Whether or not an ethnostate is good depends on the ethnicity of the people of the ethnostate.
(/s, it is POV of a racist)
like this
The American civil war was about states rights (states right to white supremacy)
Our new government['s]...foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.
States rights people hate it when pointing out slavery was enshrined in the state constitutions as a requirement for being part of the confederacy.
Or when showing the south was pushing the north to ignore their states rights by forcing them to only follow southern slavery laws
this is rather dumb considering Israel is more ethnically diverse than any of it's neighbors
73.2% (about 7,208,000 people) are Jews, including about 503,000 living outside the self-defined borders of the State of Israel in the West Bank
21.1% (around 2,080,000 people) are Israeli citizens classified as Arab, some identifying as Palestinian, and including Druze, Circassians, all other Muslims, Christian Arabs, Armenians (which Israel considers "Arab")
[2] An additional 5.7% (roughly 554,000 people) are classified as "others". This diverse group comprises those with Jewish ancestry but not recognized as Jewish by religious law, non-Jewish family members of Jewish immigrants, Christians other than Arabs and Armenians, and residents without a distinct ethnic or religious categorization.[2][1]
In a 2012 ruling by the Supreme Court on the issue, some of the judges on the panel discussed demography, and were inclined to accept that demography is a legitimate consideration in devising family reunification policies that violate the right to family life.Those in favor of the law say the law not only limits the possibility of the entrance of terrorists into Israel, but, as Ze'ev Boim asserts, allows Israel "to maintain the state's democratic nature, but also its Jewish nature" (i. e., its Jewish demographic majority).
Ethnically diverse? Motherfucker, they're all kinds of WHITE EUROPEANS. It occupies Palestine with that in mind, using religion to hide behind it and justify it.
The other 30 percent were either kidnapped children from various operations (with the help of the West) that grew up to be dogs of the Euroanglo-zionazis and become Zionazis themselves or straight up opportunist compradors from all around the world. Oh and to top it off, they sterilize them no matter how much they try to be a good dog, because they're not white enough.
That's not diversity, that's a settler-colonial ethnostate playing population control, trying to get just enough brown to justify their occupation to the public, but not too much to maintain Pan-Europa whiteness.
considering Israel is more ethnically diverse
Apartheid South Africa was ethnically diverse...... Still an ethno-state.
Ethno-states aren't defined as lacking diversity, they are defined by an ethnic creating and maintaining a dominant hierarchy of that diversity.
It's because he's attempting to utilize the fact that America was and potentially still is an ethno-state to lessen the culpability of the Israeli ethno-state.
While modern America uses systemic racism to establish an ethnic hierarchy, unlike Israel it doesn't expressly by law prohibit the movement or upward mobility of different ethnicities. Even if it did, that fact would not lessen the culpability of another state doing the same.
Context and nuance is important.
it started inthe 70's and passed all the ratification hurdles in 2020; that's how long people have been trying to push for it and proves how little things change within the american system.
in typical democrat fashion, biden made much ado about ratifying it, but without supporting it against the technical hangups so that it would die on its own and doing so paved the way for project 2025.
the democrats kept control of the house for the entirety of biden's tenure as president while they had control of the senate for half of it and the aca fell apart anyways despite the democrats having a majority .... again.
no one expects the republicans to follow through on welfare programs, so it's silly to hold them to account on it on something like the equal rights amendment; the democrats do claim to care and that's why we expect progress from them.
maybe your expectations for Republicans are too low

How can ufw do me like that?
EDIT: Thanks for the help guys!
Something strange happened just now, im trying to figure out how exactly did it happen. On my server I was suddely able to bypass my VPN! I looked around what did happened and found that my VPN service had sent me an email that my subscription expired. What is strange is that I have ufw rules like

Anywhere ALLOW OUT Anywhere on tun0So it should be not allowed to access the internet outside of tun0. Why exactly did it happen? Does the VPN service change iptables or something? Any ideas? I was able to ping, wget, even surf on w3m. The thing is that when I rebooted the server, nothing could connect outside the tunnel, as it should be. Here is the whole ufw table.
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), deny (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip

Hamas Wants Gaza to Starve [Please first read, then comment]
By Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib
E: Please read the article before commenting.
Hamas Wants Gaza to Starve
Starvation only helps Hamas end the war in a way that advances its aims.Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib (The Atlantic)
The article says that Hamas wants Israel to starve Gazans, it doesn't say that Israel doesn't starve Gazans.
It literally says Israel uses hunger as weapon (against Hamas and against –or at least not caring about– civilians): "Hamas has benefited from Israel’s decision to use food as a lever against the terror group, because the catastrophic conditions for civilians have generated an international outcry, which is worsening Israel’s global standing and forcing it to reverse course."
E: You partly approve the article yourself and I'm aware of the fact it's Israel committing the genocide.
Not I nor the article have said that Israel isn't committing genocide. The only thing said is that Hamas profits by it and that Gazans are furious about looters and the Hamas. I don't understand why so many people downvote this, claim I would be paid, claim I would deny the genocide or write 6 comments where 1 would be enough, if not you want to deny Hamas is a terrorist organization which only cares about its own survival.
So why did Hamas agree to a ceasefire in March which Israel broke?
Why is Hamas bending over to accept ceasefire conditions? You are spreading Zionist blood libel and genocide propaganda.

multi boot - Hibernating and booting into another System or Distribution: will my filesystems be corrupted?
Short answer is: yes, as soon as more than one OS mounts a file system in read-write mode.
The kernel of a modern OS (I am generously including Windows here) caches file system data structures in memory. When you hibernate the computer, the content of that memory is written into a large file because that speeds-up a later restart.
Now, if you boot up another OS, and modify these partitions (without mounting them read-only), you alter the file systems data structures. That happens already when you view folders because this modifies access times stored in the inodes.
When you now shut down the second OS, and resume the first OS, the restarted kernel will have and use cached file system metadata which id loaded from the image into the kernel, that does not match that of the files on disk. And this causes file system corruption by definition.
like this
No, I mean hibernate, with the PC turned off. In sleep state, you return to the running kernel/OS, so no possibility to boot into another distro, therefore no risk of filesystem damage.
The crucial thing is that file systems need to be unmounted before they can be accessed by another distribution or OS.

To the point in which some of us are seriously considering leaving the "clear" net altogether in favor of freenet, tor (even if already kinda compromised by the feds), etc.
So... what now?
Ik, but even then is better than having' no privacy at all. I got kicked from my first university for participating in protests regarding the "grape" of a student by a faculty member, i was one of the unlucky ones selected to be "examples", hell its even a law now that all protest are illegal and reason to inmediate expulsion.

I subsequently had a wonderful little person come into my life who has made me want to have more material capability & flexilibilty. And so I have turned to trying to sell my skills again.
By refusing to use to use corporate social media to promote my services, I am handicapping myself in getting work.

First, congratulations on the new family member.
Not knowing exactly the nature of your entrepreneurial skills, I have found good success with meet n' greet, press the flesh as it were. Some businesses need a lot of advertising, some don't need any. Join your local Chamber of Commerce or Business Association. Keep your ears open. Treat every interaction as an opportunity to grow your business.
For example, I am getting along in years so farming 20 acres got to be a bit much for one old guy. I started leasing acreage to other local farmers mainly for growing silage. I was at one of our local farmer's market one day and by chance overheard/eavesdropped a conversation a small group was having. They were talking about looking for small plots of land that they could all go in on together and have a communal garden. You help with the labor, you get a share of the grow type of thing.
So I approached them and listened to them talk and suggested that I may have the solution they were looking for. Long story short, I now have four, one acre plots that I lease to locals for their communal gardens. I provide the pipe stand for a water supply with bib to split off different watering troughs and I plow the plot for you. All you have to do is work the soil, grow your veggies, and profit.
So basically now, I have positive cash flow with moderate to minimal work. I still maintain a one acre plot for my personal grow but in all honesty it's far to much for just one person to eat. I usually donate most of that to local food banks in town. Which is another good thought to keep in mind. We all get help along the way in life. No one is self made. Pay it forward. Give something back to the community local to you.

.... virtual machines where you only have to select which accompanying image of Arch / Tumbleweed / Ubuntu / Fedora you want to try.
In addition, the combination of a very stable base system (say, Debian or SuSE Leap) with a fast-moving, bleeading edge virtualized system (say, SuSE Tumbleweed, Arch or Guix) on top can be surprisingly useful. And because small virtual machines, when not running, are nothing else than files on your computer, you can have many versions of them, alter things, try stuff out, then delete it and go back to the tidy original state.
