Wrong. This is operational security warfare. China, Russia, and every adversary should be holding the same attitude towards us if they're worth their salt at protecting their internal national assets.
It doesn't matter that its Chinese people by blood, its Team-U vs Team-C.
Now, the shitbags crying about this probably are doing it from ill-intentioned positions and are most definitely racist, but while their broad intentions are evil, this is one of those cliché "broken clock right twice a day" moments.

How Turkmenistan turned censorship into a lucrative extortion scheme by intentionally restricting internet access in order to sell its own VPNs to citizens
::: spoiler Comments
- Hackernews.
:::
In July 2021, a sudden drop in Tor usage in Turkmenistan called our attention. Tor would come to understand that this marked the beginning of a new era of censorship and restriction in this post-Soviet country. But let's rewind...The Tor Community has long been defending internet freedom, running relays and providing bridges to combat internet censorship.
Over the years, the Tor Project has called for action to run more bridges, Snowflake proxies, while we've investigated and adapted our anti-censorship strategies, and shared information about online censorship in Turkmenistan.
Modern censorship circumvention systems are generally built around the concept of "collateral damage", where a censor cannot block access without blocking the entire internet or popular online services. However, in Turkmenistan, the censors' behavior has been strikingly different. They have openly blocked vast parts of the internet without concern for the collateral consequences, sparking curiosity: why do Turkmenistan's censors seem unbothered by the collateral damage their actions cause?

Team V.R suspicious release?
I recently downloaded this file from Audioz (I didn't run the exe, just extracted the rar.) Check out the comments, many people have run it through sandbox environments like any.run or hybrid analysis and gotten iffy results:

It looks like there are quite a few analysis services besides virustotal that are marking the file as malicious.

This is a popular upload on Audioz and is also listed directly on Team VR's website, so what gives? I thought Team VR was considered safe. Maybe someone experienced needs to look at their stuff a little more closely?

Power Loss but Still Online with Fiber Connection
Interesting experience, this has happened twice now. When house looses power I am still online now that I have moved to Fiber.
It feels a bit eerie. My network and computers, TV, media center, etc are all on UPS so they just keep going. Things just get really quite which is interrupted by just the periodic beeps of the UPS systems.
Does anyone know why my new Fiber connection does this but my old system which was bonded DSL did not? I know back in the early days of DSL I could do this, but some where along the way it stopped being power outage resistant.

Code of conduct. moderation policies
julian@community.nodebb.org does NodeBB have an out-of-the-box TOS or code of conduct or something similar, or do you want to put one together for ActivityPub.space specifically?
My experience in the past has been that it's a lot better to have a CoC in place before you need it, rather than trying to write one as a crisis is unfolding.
I think if this server is going to be linked to from the SocialCG and other W3C sub-groups, it should probably have a stated code of conduct that's compatible with the W3C's Positive Work Environment policy:

US judge halts Republican effort to expand fast-track deportations
That expedited removal process has for nearly three decades been used to quickly return migrants apprehended at the border. But in January, the administration expanded its scope to cover non-citizens apprehended anywhere in the United States who could not show they had been in the country for two years.
The policy mirrored one the Trump administration adopted in 2019 that Democratic President Joe Biden's administration later rescinded, and immigration authorities have made "aggressive" use of the new removal power in recent months, Cobb said.
But she said that unlike the population of migrants traditionally subject to expedited removal who were detained shortly after crossing the border, the group now being targeted had long since entered the country.
"That means that they have a weighty liberty interest in remaining here and therefore must be afforded due process under the Fifth Amendment," she said. "When it exponentially expanded the population subject to expedited removal, the Government did not, however, in any way adapt its procedures to this new group of people."
US court rules many of Trump's global tariffs are illegal
A US appeals court has ruled that most tariffs issued by US President Donald Trump are illegal, setting up a potential legal showdown that could upend his foreign policy agenda.
The ruling affects Trump's so-called "reciprocal" tariffs, imposed on most countries around the world, as well as other tariffs slapped on China, Mexico and Canada.
In a 7-4 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected Trump's argument that the tariffs were permitted under an emergency economic powers act, calling them "invalid as contrary to law".
The ruling will not take effect until 14 October, to give the administration time to ask the US Supreme Court to take up the case.

Chicago mayor, Brandon Johnson, signs EO that directs city police not to collaborate with federal agents in immigration enforcement
Brandon Johnson will set out guidance for the city’s agencies and law enforcement, CNN reported, “in the midst of escalating threats from the federal government”.
Last week, the White House requested that a US military base on the outskirts of Chicago be made available to assist with immigration operations, as the Trump administration plans a broader takeover of Democratic-run “sanctuary cities”.
Johnson’s order “affirms” that Chicago police will not “collaborate with federal agents on joint law enforcement patrols, arrest operations, or other law enforcement duties including civil immigration enforcement”, CNN reported.
It also says city departments should “pursue all available legal and legislative avenues to resist coordinated efforts from the federal government”.

Anagrammi, doppi sensi, giochi di parole
I doppi sensi e i giochi di parole sono sempre stati la nostra passione ma nel tempo abbiamo scoperto un modo nuovo di approcciarsi alla scrittura per far riflettere e nascondere messaggi “subliminali” nelle frasi: gli anagrammi che, se usati bene, diventano un mezzo di satira potentissimo.
101 Anagrammi Zen
Cosa vuoi che sia un anagramma, si prendono le lettere di una parola e se ne creano altre di senso compiuto cambiando le posizioni di consonanti e vocali. Eravamo comunque convinti che dagli arci-noti “donna” “danno”, “mela” “male”, “la verità rivelata” o “teatro” “attore” non si potesse andare troppo lontano.
Alla fine però ci siamo dovuti ricredere quando abbiamo conosciuto un libro “101 anagrammi zen” da cui si è sviluppata una comunità molto attiva sui social commerciali (X, Facebook, Instagram).
Il primo incontro con 101 anagrammi zen è stato una notizia del Corriere Della Sera su Gianni Morandi e nei commenti al post in Facebook era scritto così:
101 anagrammi zen:“Gianni Morandi —> i manoni grandi”.
L’artista in questione ha davvero le mani grandi, e con quell’anagramma abbiamo capito quanto tali giochi di parole possano diventare un’arma potentissima, perché se parlando di Adamo ed Eva esce fuori il solito “mela = male”, ecco arrivare “social = il caos”! Oppure “Piero Angela = genial opera”, “Giacomo Leopardi = godiamoci parole” (ma anche “godi, porco maiale”)!
In seguito, sfogliando la pagina, abbiamo trovato satira potente verso politici e personaggi sportivi ma anche frasi a effetto l’una stereotipo dell’altra.
Ci sono persone secondo le quali un uomo e una donna non possono essere amici? Perfetto! Noi non siamo d’accordo con un simile pensiero perché siamo un uomo e una donna amici da diversi anni, ma un partecipante al network degli anagrammi ha creato un gioco molto carino che noi riportiamo così com’è, scusandoci per non citare l’autore del quale ci sfugge purtroppo il nome:
“L’amicizia tra uomo e donna?” —> “T’amo, inizia un caldo amore”.
Ma come si creano questi giochi di parole?
Fin dai primi giorni in cui abbiamo conosciuto “101 anagrammi zen” ci chiedevamo come fosse possibile ottenere la frase anagrammata come continuazione, sensata, di quella originale e nel tempo abbiamo capito il trucco: prendi l’originale, estrai una parola chiave da cui partire e sposta le lettere; sicuramente, l’autore dell’anagramma sull’amicizia, avrà estratto “amore” dalla frase “l’amicizia tra uomo e donna” e piano piano ha ricomposto gli altri termini con le lettere mancanti.
Nulla di magico quindi, è tutta questione di quali siano le idee dell’enigmista! Infatti noi potremmo continuare l’anagramma ponendo le dovute condizioni. Amore sì, ma…
L’amicizia tra uomo e donna? —>T’amo, inizia un caldo amore! —>
Iniziamo, ma cada l’untore!
Giusto perché se l’amicizia è con Valentino Talluto non si metta in testa di fare strani scherzi perché lui addosso ha l’HIV quello cattivo, non quello senziente dei nostri racconti.
Ma parliamo d’altro. Gli omofobi quando si lamentano di venir silenziati per le loro farneticazioni, mettono sempre in mezzo “il pensiero unico”.
Questo è fin troppo banale, già “eros + peni = pensiero” sarebbe sufficiente a identificare i soggetti ma ce ne sta uno ancora di più esplicito:
Eros + i peni in culo = il pensiero unico
Oppure “l’unico pensiero? —> Eros, peni in cu…” Insomma basta, ci siamo capiti.
Abbiano solo il coraggio di negarlo, adesso! Meglio che ci auto-censuriamo.
Dopodiché, essendo noi un blog a tema “stigma e HIV”, abbiamo accettato la sfida creando il personaggio virus HIV senziente che aiutasse gli umani a risolvere i problemi. E come? Con gli enigmi, naturalmente! Solo con la pratica si riescono a trovare giochi coinvolgenti anche se, alla fine, non li usiamo spesso perché non tutti amano fermarsi a riflettere quando leggono.
Costruire un anagramma positivo
Il più semplice: “genitore uno —> untore genio”, oppure “chi vuole —> culo e HIV?” Non necessita una laurea in enigmistica per arrivarci. Diverso invece è per un evento musicale su cui abbiamo trovato un messaggio pazzesco.
Il cantante Elio e il figlio di Enzo Jannacci avevano organizzato una serie di concerti estivi chiamata:
“Ci vuole orecchio in tour”.
Va bene, “in tour” è fin troppo banale. Sposta la “u” all’inizio e la “i” alla fine, senza toccare le lettere in mezzo: “untori” è sotto gli occhi di tutti.
Dopodiché scomponendo “orecchio” esce “io cerco” lasciando fuori l’h, che noi porteremo sulle parole precedenti: “io cerco untori, chi vuole”.
Ma considerando “chi vuole” come anagramma di “culo e HIV”…
“Ci vuole orecchio in tour”, vale a dire “io cerco culo, untori e HIV”. Bene, complimenti. Annuncio sporcaccione servito in un piatto d’argento.
Oppure su un giornale ci è capitato sotto gli occhi questo: “a scuola positivo”, riferito a un ragazzino che si era presentato in classe col covid e aveva fatto strage.
E noi per non farci mancare l’anagramma abbiamo usato le lettere in questo modo:
“Si, culo a posto, vai —> a scuola positivo!”
Immaginando la scena del ragazzotto col sedere per aria e chi gli dà un bello sculaccione.
Amilcare Pollini
Riportiamo dal CICAP (Comitato Italiano per il Controllo delle Affermazioni sulle Pseudoscienze) la storia di Amilcare Pollini. Questo personaggio, morto nel 1957, si riteneva “il duomo di Milano” (dio più uomo) insomma un sedicente nuovo Messia. Poi non importa se la parola “duomo” deriva da “Domus” cioè casa, e con eventuali incroci fra uomo e divinità poco abbia a che fare.
Il tizio, influenzato dalla moglie “filosofa esoterica”, si è inventato una teoria secondo cui “ogni parola rivela la sua funzione” e “la lotta fra Dio e il demonio si nasconde nelle parole”.
Perfetto amico, per te l’anagramma maschilista “donna” = “danno” è azzeccato ma intanto caro Amilcare fatti creare un personaggio ispirato a te.
Fonte: “Sì, il duomo di Milano sono io“, articolo che invitiamo a leggere per conoscere la curiosa storia di questo enigmatico personaggio.
Concludiamo omaggiandolo con la sua passione, “Amilcare Pollini —> il clima in parole”.

Why China has a tech manufacturing advantage over the U.S.
While Americans lament their crumbling infrastructure, China is rapidly expanding high-speed rail, subway systems, and airports across the country. Chinese tech products, from autonomous vehicles to drones to addiction-inducing algorithms, have won over global consumers and put companies such as BYD, DJI, and TikTok in pole position.China’s prowess in engineering and manufacturing is now at the center of the U.S.–China rivalry in artificial intelligence. Despite Washington’s efforts to block China from advancing in AI, the country has continued to make progress in developing chips and training state-of-the-art large language models.
Dan Wang moved to Canada at age seven from Yunnan in southwestern China. A former tech analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics, his stints in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai allowed him to closely observe China’s trajectory. In his new book, Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future, Wang compares the country’s “engineering” state, which favors large-scale manufacturing, with America’s “lawyerly” society, which he believes hinders new construction and development.
