I watched the entire Tour de France, and was surprised there weren't any protests like this against Israel Premier Tech. Protests at the TDF are pretty common.
It's also interesting that while the team is based in and sponsored by Israel, there is only one Israeli rider on the team riding the Vuelta right now. And back in July during the TDF not a single rider on their roster was Israeli.

is the command locate too old for debian 13 xfce?
locate is a command I've used in the past, but now, fresh installed with sudo apt get locate it doesn return anything.
locate --version returnslocate (GNU findutils) 4.10.0, from 2024
or, have I forgotten something?
like this
locate uses an index you need to update using updatedb before it is able to find anything.
updatedb may run periodically because of a cron job, but the index is probably missing right after installing it manually.
I guess because that adds extra complexity that isn't inherently necessary and can be added on top, plus it eats resources. You'll spend the cycles either way basically, at least this way it's optional. I don't bother with a file indexer because with SSDs nowadays, find is pretty fast, and how often do you search for files anyway?
Linux has APIs to get notified on file system events (fanotify, inotify) which would allow such a service to update itself whenever files are created/delete immediately, but locate is way older than that, from the 80s. I think popular DEs have something like that.
There's also ways to search for specific files that come with packages (e.g. dpkg -S), because the package manager already maintains an index of files that were installed by it, so you can use that for most stuff outside /home.
And often advanced searches like only this root folder, in reverse order of accessed time, or only folder
On windows I use void tools everything but nothing like it compares in speed and ease of use on linux.
It's one of my many roadblock to transition to linux.
Have you tried RTFM? 😛
Jokes aside afaik you could do everything you mentioned with sort, find (with -type f, -printf and -mtime) and grep (filtering via regex with the -e flag).
Alternatively you could try KDE's file explorer dolphin (or even just its search utility kfind) as a graphical alternative.
My point is switching to linux is not quick or easy, but there are few really impassable roadblocks (games with shitty kernel level anticheat for example) and there is a high likelyhood someone in this community has encountered your problems aswell and migjt even know a solution.
using find to sort all pictures in /pics/ by inverted (i.e., most recently accessed first) access time, and filtering only those with an exposure time between 1/20 and 1/100 seconds
find /pics/ -type f \( -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.jpeg' -o -iname '*.png' \) \
-exec exiftool -ExposureTime -T {} \; -exec bash -c '
file="$1"
exposure="$2"
# Convert exposure to decimal
if [[ "$exposure" =~ ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ ]]; then
num="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
denom="${BASH_REMATCH[2]}"
exposure_val=$(echo "$num / $denom" | bc -l)
else
exposure_val="$exposure"
fi
# Filter by exposure between 1/100 and 1/20 seconds
if (( $(echo "$exposure_val >= 0.01" | bc -l) )) && (( $(echo "$exposure_val <= 0.05" | bc -l) )); then
atime=$(stat -c %X "$file") # Access time (epoch)
echo "$atime $file"
fi
' bash {} $(exiftool -s3 -ExposureTime {}) | sort -nrIn voidtools everything it would be
pic: path:"C:\pics" sort:da-descending ExposureTime:1/20..1/100
But actually doesn't work because "ExposureTime" is only available as an sorting order not a filter but you get the gist ;)
Ah yeah okay, I see, that would be quite tedious to implement in bash. Everything looks pretty neat. 😁
Buuut I just looked at KDE's search framework filter options (used by dolphin if you press + f ) and it seems it is indeed possible to search/filter by exposure time with dolphin or via directly in the cli.
Seems like a good and useful workflow for sure. Don't know if something equivalent exists, maybe it doesn't.
I'd personally use find for this, but it is a command line tool, and while I have memorized some of the more common options (directories-only would be -type d for example), I'd have to look at the manpage for more advances options. It's not hard exactly but it's not easy-to-use GUI software for sure.
I've taken to using chatgpt to make me the more advanced find queries, before on linux I would ONLY use find /path | grep -i somenames
So that's already an improvement, if still a bit tedious
The thing about everything is that it's so ergonomic, fast and powerful.
Being able to search anything and sort everywhich way with the click of a button
Check out this sublime search syntax (this not even half of it ! )
And the re-ordering by columns, and there are just SO MANY columns you can add, like search by EXIF camera exposure, no problem !
I really wish there was something as good as "everything" on linux, it's just awesome.
But if there's not something like... whatever it is that thing that makes WizTree faster than WinDirStat, then it would probably work in a very slow compatibility mode

[Video] Zionists from Spain harass the Gaza flotilla with Israeli genocide glorification music. Claiming they will play it every night to prevent them from sleeping
Additional context from an ex-Israeli who knows the song:
It's not just some random Israeli music he's playing, it's genocidal anthem "Harbu Darbu" by Ness & Stila. This song has played (and continues to play) a significant role in creating the post-October7 hyper-genocidal atmosphere that's been sweeping Israel and enabling a Holocaust
How to make tagging easier?
When I want to tag a post, I often come across the issue of "tagging uncertainty". E.g.
- Did I use singular (KungFuMovie) or plural (KungFuMovies) on other occasions?
- Did I use 'native' (KurosawaAkira) or Western (AkiraKurosawa) name order?
- Have I even used a tag on this topic before, or is it the first time?
In order to check, I:
- scroll up or down until I see the top of the community sidebar info
- middle-click the link there to the community home page (only available on my own community because I placed one there myself) to open in a new tab
- switch from posting window tab to that new tab
- scroll down until I see "All community tags"
- click on that
- look for the tag I'm interested in
- go back to the tab with the posting window
- write the desired tag
E.g. for this very post, I wasn't sure whether to tag it "tag", "tags" or "tagging". I had to click "Communities", search for "help", middle-click on "Piefed Help", switch to that tab and then look at the tag area to see which form has been used previously.
Some ideas that might make tagging easier:
- a "See all community tags" link next to the tags field in the posting window (easy to do?), opens in a new tab or a pop-up
- auto-suggest one or more tags once you start typing one in the tag field (hard to do?), like on Mastodon
- any other ideas, anyone?
like this
It's kind of a "wisdom of the crowd" thing. The idea that on average, in aggregate, most of the time, it starts to make sense and be useful. But individual posts are often tagged very "wrongly".
Having said that... For space reasons the tag list in the sidebar is limited to 30 tags and I'm sure there is more we could do to improve the utility of it. Maybe a separate page which has a rotatable tag cloud at the top and below that the list of posts dynamically updates based on whatever is the currently selected tag...
Honestly?
At this point, given their very limited range of usefulness (one-community-only, mods can't add, remove or edit tags on posts, clicking #tag won't find #tags or #tagging, the work required to try to avoid such 'tag splitting', Lemmy users can't add them, Lemmy users can't see them), I'm tempted to just stop bothering with tags altogether.
But then I remember "Search this community" doesn't really work...

So if I give up on tagging and community search is broken, what option does that leave for anyone trying to find something in a community? Flairs? Or just plain, old Ctrl+F? (Yes, I've had to resort to this with Piefed, with varying degrees of success.)
(I've already learned to keep an Alex Lemmy page open all the time, so I can do things like search a community.)
So I guess I have to keep tagging if I want Piefed users to be able to ever find anything. And I guess it will still involve me doing all those steps I listed in OP. 🙁 Not exactly a candidate for !piefed_joy@piefed.social

Hi , so I still can't update much more but to say we have been delayed. A lot of work do to here and amazing people to meet . Huge support from the locals here in Italy. The dockworkers union will stop all Isreal transports if any interference with the flotilla. As well as other actions from university groups and others.
When I applied for this my thoughts was that the likely outcome would be interception . Now I'm getting more and more hopeful that we will actually be able to go all the way to Gaza.
DNS app asking for my location. How bad is that?
Well, for one, I'm not giving OP the piss for downloading the app. We all get suckered at one time or another. However, as I highlited, 1000 downloads, no reviews, and just someone’s name, is cause to pause and do some diligent searches regarding the app. If it were legit, most likely you'll find someone who has used the app and voiced their opinion. For instance, when I go to github, the first thing I want to see is when was the last activity, how many stars, how mature is the project, read the issue tracking section, etc. After a while you get a spidey sense about stuff.
Be cautious and verify.

As a former Mormon I find this mildly interesting, but I don't have much hope that large numbers of LDS people will begin to protest against the genocide. The pro-Israel thing is deeply embedded... as in, I'm pretty sure there are an awful lot of LDS people who will see the sacrifice of a million or two Palestinians, even if totally innocent, as a reasonable price to pay for God's Chosen People getting the Land Of The Covenant to usher in the Second Coming.
Even deeper than that: Mormons are mostly herd animals. Dissent has been trained out of them (unless the dissent is authorized by the First Presidency).

Are private email providers worth it?
I think I know the answer, bit maybe I'm missing something
Since proton only sends and receives encrypted emails to other proton accounts, that means that when you get or send an email to someone else, they have to send / receive unencrypted and there is no way for us to verify what they are doing. Right?
Also if most accounts are google Microsoft, they still get 90% of my emails. By switching to proton I think I've gained nothing, while losing convenience , added another trust point, and having two different companies have my data instead of just one
Proton drive, calendar and VPN I think are fine
Sorry for the poor syntax. I'm at work working on email related things, and this topic kept distracting me. I might correct it later
I wouldn't say you have gained nothing. The amount of data provided to google or microsoft when using their email is significantly more. For example, your app or client is checking email all of the time, giving them telemetry on your location and activity, all your devices, 24/7. Google logs and analyzes all of your interactions with Gmail's web pages, how long you have certain emails open for, what you don't bother to open, what you tag as important, etc.
Much of the one-way email you sign up for from companies and organizations come from smaller outfits like sendgrid or their own infrastructure, so you are cutting google out of information about your associations and interests.
Also, in regards to that 90%, you can either be part of the problem for all your contacts, or part of the solution. The network effect is huge.
1. don't use email, that's the ideal solution
2. use a provider like cock.li and send messages encrypted with pgp. this isn't ideal, pgp leaks a lot of data and cock.li gets sinkholed by most email providers.
3. use proton and encrypt emails with pgp, you have not much privacy but it's less worse than microsoft and not much convenience loss, except that proton doesn't allow email clients(at least if you don't pay), I don't know about ms).
they pretty much always collaborate with the police
a corporation is a legal extension of the state, hence why all of them will always collaborate when ordered by the courts or otherwise required by law.
some will even collaborate when they are not required by law such amazon ring providing pigs access for no reason, facebook censoring content per request of US or Israel... needless bullshit but hey it helps get government contracts ;)
bottom line, expecting corpo to do anything for you for 5 bucks a month is naive, at best they should not do it for no reason and they should not sell your data.
but even that is a tall order for these parasites.

Crafting a retro desktop for old computers (~1GB RAM) the right way
I have an old Asus EeePC 1015T netbook with an HDMI (and VGA) output, a screen that glitches if I'm holding it wrong, a huge, tired, unreliable battery, a noisy fan that fails to cool it to less than skin-burning temperatures, and slightly less than 1 GB of RAM. I've seen Xubuntu, then Lubuntu, become slowly unusable on it; I've tried to install Arch then Sway, but although the device got kinda less sluggish, the leaning curve for a tiling window manager was still too high.
So here's a thought experiment: could I craft a Linux setup with a themeable yet cohesive Windows 98-like UI, that I can plug to an old monitor (1280x1024 should be enough) and that can be just responsive enough to do basic, focused tasks (writing, listening to music and webradios, browsing Wikipedia, perhaps playing Doom) using this kind of very limited hardware? The idea would be to have some sort of reliability: instead of installing an old distro and freezing all updates, I'd ideally go for a modern basis that I can upgrade without worrying of watching my setup collapsing on itself; so I could reproduce this setup on other, similarly old computers, and turn them into retro distraction-free appliances where you could chill with a classic Windows feel and Winamp themes.
I have some ideas but I'm not sure about the best approach. I've tried an immutable Fedora image (Blue95), but after a full day and night of waiting for the setup and rebase to complete, the end result was way too slow to be usable. Then I went for BunsenLabs on a Debian Trixie basis: it works okay performance-wise, but there's a lot of obscure menu items pointing to small apps to customize (you have to know what a "conky" or a "tint2" is, and also understand that the default panel is a third different thing). I'm thinking of trying postmarketOS, since the Alpine base sounds lightweight enough, but I havent figured out how to install it on my EeePC.
Could Wayland be possible with these hardware limitations? If so, how should I setup it? I guess labwc (pictured above) is the best fit for a Win9x experience, but what is needed afterwards? LXQt or Xfce or something else?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

“RUBARE allo STATO non è sempre reato” (mannaggia!)
A me capita di seguire vari avvocati su YouTube, ma certe volte mi chiedo se sarebbe meglio restare nell’ignoranza per le questioni di legge, perché altrimenti ci si fa il sangue amarissimo… non quanto il “caffè amaro come la vita”, ma molto peggio, perché almeno il caffè è gustoso, mentre la realtà del nostro mondo nemmeno per un cazzo. E stamattina, per l’appunto, chi mi ha ricordato ciò è stato l’avvochad Angelo Greco… 😭youtube.com/watch?v=QtQ0T4fnxk…
In breve, in questo video dice una cosa che sappiamo tutti, cioè che rubare allo Stato, una condotta che a primo impatto parrebbe gravissima, a volte è legalmente permesso — e anzi, aggiungerei io che in certi casi è anche premiato, o quantomeno fare il contrario significa essere vittime di scherno e biasimo, paradossalmente… Qualcosa di già assurdo di per sé, ma mai quanto un’altra cosa che difficilmente ci viene in mente, cioè che invece i danni piccoli vengono puniti alla grande; l’esempio che lui fa, per dire, è che se qualcuno ti passa una banconota incaricandoti di andargli a comprare il gelato, e tu te ne scappi coi soldi invece di assolvere al compito informale e deciso a voce, ti becchi (fino a) 5 anni di carcere, “appropriazione indebita aggravata”… 💀
Insomma, questa è l’Italia. Ovviamente, questo fatto lo si può vedere applicato su una scala più ampia e totalizzante, dove la punizione è, con gran paradosso, sempre inversamente proporzionale alla colpa. E quindi, se rubi i soldi del gelato e la vittima ti denuncia vai in galera, se sei un borseggiatore che dalla mattina alla sera sta a rubare alle persone ti arrestano per qualche minuto ma poi torni in libertà, se sei un imprenditore che evade il fisco magari passi qualche brutta nottata ma alla fine non succede niente, e se invece sei un politico che usa i soldi pubblici per cose proprie non ti indagano nemmeno… figurati pagare multe o che… 🥱
Che schifo, davvero. Non trovo nemmeno qualcosa da dire per ribaltare tutto e ridere, a questo giro… la riflessione di oggi è davvero così tanto amara; mi dispiace se ho rovinato la giornata a qualcuno. E non so se sia più grave il fatto che, a dire il vero, le cose in questo paese sembrano andare così, all’incontrario, da quando questo esiste… o se la vera questione sia che andando avanti questi paradossi aumentano, anziché diminuire… in questa repubblica dove, nei tribunali, campeggia sempre la scritta “la legge è uguale per tutti“, nonostante il fatto che questa frase sia forse la più grande bugia di tutti i tempi, e i politici non fanno e faranno altro che prendere tutti per il culo… 🙁

Zionist group sues two Australian academics for opposing the Gaza genocide
A group of pro-Zionist staff and students, backed by a high-profile legal team, is suing University of Sydney academics Nick Riemer and John Keane in the Federal Court of Australia for making public statements opposing the Gaza genocide.
Zionist group sues two Australian academics for opposing the Gaza genocide
If the case against Riemer and Keane is upheld, it will set a legal precedent that that could outlaw any opposition to the mass slaughter in Gaza as “antisemitic.”World Socialist Web Site

As of writing, the total had almost doubled to over $112,000 from some 1,200 individual donations.
this is a tiny fraction of what they're going to need in combat both the isreali and australian gov'ts; they're fucked.
that's less than a yearly salary for an entry level software engineer in the united states and no where close to the salary of a team of lawyers with the requisite experience to litigate this case.
nevertheless, i hope i'm wrong.
i guess i keep forgetting that anecdotal experience is a thing and the article points out the australian law:
The court case follows on from a complaint lodged by law firm Levitt Robinson last year with the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC). It alleged that Riemer and Keane had violated Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, which prohibits public acts that “offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person” based on their race.
i don't know what it's like under the australian system, but in the american one; they have to defend themselves first.

It is a statutory body funded by, but operating independently of, the Australian Government. It is responsible for investigating alleged infringements of Australia's anti-discrimination legislation in relation to federal agencies.
Barring that they still do not have to defend themselves at this point they're just responding to a complaint.

Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps
US immigration agents will have access to one of the world’s most sophisticated hacking tools after a decision by the Trump administration to move ahead with a contract with Paragon Solutions, a company founded in Israel which makes spyware that can be used to hack into any mobile phone – including encrypted applications.The Department of Homeland Security first entered into a contract with Paragon, now owned by a US firm, in late 2024, under the Biden administration. But the $2m contract was put on hold pending a compliance review to make sure it adhered to an executive order that restricts the US government’s use of spyware, Wired reported at the time.
That pause has now been lifted, according to public procurement documents, which list US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) as the contracting agency.

Fastest disk-space usage analyzer (for files), faster than ncdu?
I'll echo everyone else: þere are several good tools, but ncdu isn't bad. Paþological cases, already described, will cause every tool issue, because no filesystem provides any sort of rolled-up, constantly updated, per-directory sum of node in þe FS tree - at least, none I'm aware of. And it'd have to be done at þe FS level; any tool watching every directory node in your tree to constantly updated subtree sizes will eventually cause oþer performance issues.
It does sound as if you're having
- filesystem issues, eg corruption
- network issues, eg you have remote shares mounted which are being included in þe scan (Gnome mounts user remotes in
~/.localsomewhere, IIRC) - hardware issues, eg your disk is going bad
- paþological filesystem layout, eg some directories containing þousands of inodes
It's almost certainly one of þose, two of which you can þank ncdu for bringing to your attention, one which is easily bypassed wiþ a flag, and þe last maybe just needing cleanup or exclusion.
Ncdu
I learn something new every day. I've been running du -a | sort -rn | head like some kind of animal. ncdu runs very fast on my systems and shows me what I want to see. Thanks!

Essential Steps to Launch Your Photography Business
Turn your passion for photography into a business with essential tips on equipment, branding, marketing, and managing your services effectively.
Nowadays, professional photographers are needed in multiple industries like journalism, real estate marketing, and travel. If you have a passion for photography and are interested in starting your own business, its valuable to look into integrating both.
If you are looking to start your photography business, first be prepared for the equipment of your studio with certain things like high-quality cameras and other accessories. After preparing this, you will also do marketing for your photography skills, which requires a website, accounting software, a logo, and other things.
Start your own photography business within your ability. Prepared with a detailed business plan, ready to manage your startup expenses and start sharing your innovative photography services with the world. Here are some tips for getting started with your own photography business.
Starting a Photography Business Without Experience: What You Need to Know
Photography Startup Plan
A great business plan helps to clarify your business strategy, recognise possible challenges, find necessary resources, and assess the market potential of your idea. First, take priority in launching your business, then plan to manage customers in appointment scheduling, the type of services you are providing and handling your invoice and payment process.
Next stage, you need to identify your business's targeted audience through research and plan to set up the price list for your services. Then buy quality cameras and accessories from brands that will ensure high picture quality, which will satisfy your customers.
**Choose a Business Name **
Every business needs a business name, and it is important to choose a unique one. While selecting a business, keep this in mind: it should be catchy, easy to remember, may reflect your niche, and relate to your business. Also, choose a name that not only reflects your speciality but also needs to leave a good, long-lasting impression with your clients.
Before finalising your business name, you need to check the domain availability for that name. For that, you need to verify with the business registry that no one else used this same name. After choosing the correct business name, you can create a logo and free business cards making using online software like Invoice Temple, etc.
Registration and Getting Licences
After finalizing your business name, you need to register your business as a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation. You can also register with a less formal structure known as a sole proprietorship, which does not offer many protections. Also, having some specific rules for registering businesses, obtaining a business license, collecting and sending sales taxes and periodically reporting business information.
Getting a business license not only allows you to run your photography business legally but also you need to build trust with your clients, which leads to improving your business. To secure your business license, you need to get in touch with the license authorities and submit the required documents.
**Creating Website and Establishing **
With your business name, buy a domain and create a website for your business using online platforms like WordPress, Wix, GoDaddy, etc. Design and add posts, photos, videos, and blogs to your website. With this information, add a clear call to action and contact forms to convert the visitors into clients. In this crowded market, you need to create an individual name for you to run your business. Effective marketing strategies help you to promote your business in the business marketplace.
Create engaging contents that reveal your best works and offer valuable tips in the form of blogs. Use relevant hashtags, run targeted ads, and regularly engage with your followers to build relationships. Collaborating with other creatives or influencers may help you expand your business growth.
For photography, your business must be well equipped with essential features like a high-quality camera, editing software, a business licence, and marketing tools such as business cards, a website, flyer designs, and a unique logo.

in reply to T00l_shed • • •NATO countries with "military export bans" are sending F35 parts and other weapons including interceptors to Israel through the NATO logistics program.
They are using NATO ports and NATO logistics to send their NATO weapons. And purchasing Israeli designed weapons for their own NATO military after Israel is done testing them on Palestinians in Gaza.
There is one overarching factor making this genocide possible: NATO.

Why cant you admit that nato is responsible and should be held responsible the same way as any other entity that did not discontinue weapons transfers to israel after the siege began?
Oh its american mic weapons? Okay, nato is an american defense pact.
Why are you trying to dismiss culpability as if European nations dont actively support and enable the genocide in the exact same material capacity as america? Take your lumps.
T00l_shed
in reply to thanks AV • • •It literally isn't "monumental cope" Israel imports more from China than any other country, helping to fund what they do.
I can't admit nato is responsible because it's not, nato is a defensive pact, the countries that are part of nato are the problem, not the organization, it is also not "an American defense pact", there are many countries involved.
I literally said some European countries are responsible? But if you want to go to "NATO" being responsible it's clearly china's fault, because they allow the Israeli capitalism to flourish, allowing Aipac to bribe the Americans (see how fucking stupid that sounds?)
thanks AV
in reply to T00l_shed • • •No it only sounds stupid when you say that china allows Israeli capitalism to thrive.
Getting hung up on the descriptor of nato countries being responsible for arming and funding the genocide is a deliberate obfuscation and refusal to acknowledge that these countries coordinate their military intelligence/technology and are connected through nato. Nato isnt like the UN where it's some separate body from the member states, the member states ARE nato.
i/e nato is responsible for supplying israel with weapons = america, France, germany, Britain, turkey, etc are supplying israel with weapons.
If russia, brazil, china, and iran were funding Israeli genocide we would be saying "brics is funding genocide in gaza" and you would unironically accept that framing even though brics is itself an economic pact whereas nato is explicitly a military defense pact. It is a descriptor, used because spelling out all 32 nato nations who are complicit is a waste of time when you can just say "nato is responsible for these weapons being used against palestinians" and it conveys the exact same meaning to anyone who isnt a pedant.

in reply to T00l_shed • • •NATO is not a defensive pact regardless of how much marketing campaigns (read: Western propaganda) is churned out. Look up what they did in Yugoslavia and Libya for good examples of their "defensiveness".
Every single NATO country materially supports the settler-colony, regardless if they advertise it to be their genocide or not, no amount of "But china but russia but.." will change that. "Israel" is not a distinct state but an amalgamation of European (and more recently US and commonwealthian, whom hail from settler-colonies) settler-colonialist Zionazis occupying Palestine. Get that through your head.

People recognize that fucked up shit is going down and will agree with you, and will agree more readily (maybe even act) if they don't perceive themselves as having to catch flak from their own side.
That is to say: divide and conquer.
IndustryStandard
in reply to PyroNeurosis • • •Everyone has unanimously recognized Israel is doing a genocide. What is stunning is that NATO members continue to supply the genocide with weapons. Which Israel could not commit the genocide without.
So it is indeed time to divide and conquer. By pointing out that this genocide is in only possible and fully endorsed by the Nazi infested European and American NATO members which provide it the weapons and funding with unconditional support. No matter how many brown women and children they slaughter to advance their white superiority Nazi agenda.
You are welcome to point out any flaws in this logic. But besides reactionary denial nobody seems to want to face the reality. This is the NATO genocide of Gaza.
