Apple as a future Graphene OEM?
Is Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) and/or Memory Integrity Encforcement (MIE) one of the requisite features for GrapheneOS?
The recent moves from Google that look like Android will become more of a "closed garden", and it might affect the furure of privacy ROMs.
I'm not sure if thats the same reason for this, but GrapheneOS have stated that they are working on a phone from another Android OEM. I have no idea if apple's chips allow exclusively ios or linux-like os on the system, but how feasable is it that they might consider Apple (given if the inclusion of MIE & MTE makes iPhones more compatible with gOS) in the future?
Memory Integrity Enforcement Changes the Game on iOS
Apple's new support for ARM's Memory Tagging Extension in iOS and their A19 SoC is an underrated feature for journalists, activists, and other high-profile figures.Jonah Aragon (Privacy Guides)

On the one hand we have Ukraine as a warning example of what can happen to nations that give up their nuclear weapons.
On the other hand South Africa did the same and haven't been invaded.
Something something geography visavi aggressors.
I don't think NK would ever give up their nuclear arms. But maybe calls for democratization could be raised and leveraged against lessened sanctions?

[SOLVED] my var directory on debian 13.1 has only 500 MiB free space and I cannot update flatpak anymore. How do I solve this?
[SOLVED] too many unsuccessful flatpak updates lingered in this directory. It sorted itself out after rebooting the system.

I installed baobab 48.0.2 with sudo apt.
should I install ncdu 2.9.1 with uniget install ncdu? the apt version is older than that
You do you, but I think it's rarely worth it having the absolutely newest version of something. The Debian version of a package may be older, but often has the advantage of being well-tested. And the Debian version of ncdu is all I've ever used and it has worked well.
uniget, huh? That's not a package manager I've ever heard of before.

Largest Caucus in House Endorses Bill to Block US Bombs to Israel | Common Dreams
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/36498075

Sep 21, 2025
The Congressional Progressive Caucus over the weekend officially endorsed a bill that would block the sale of many offensive US weapons to Israel. This move coincides with growing outrage from US voters from across the political spectrum who say they have seen enough of American complicity with the genocidal humanitarian blockade and bombardment of the Gaza Strip.The Block the Bombs Act, first introduced in May by Rep. Delia C. Ramirez (D-Ill.) and now backed by 49 co-sponsors, calls for a prohibition on the sale of a variety of US weapons and a limitation on military services to the Israeli government, accused of committing a genocide in Gaza.
The vote by the caucus, which took place Saturday and was first reported by Zeteo, marks a historic shift—even for the most progressive group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill—that provides “a significant boost to efforts to hold Israel accountable for its genocidal war in Gaza.”

Baffled at PC freezing on Linux, but not on Windows for the same workload
This issue is a long time coming. I got a mini pc (Asrock Deskmini h110, i5-6400, 16gb) that I have used for a long time with Kubuntu/Kde Neon, and most of its life, it worked great. Some years ago, it started freezing, especially at Graphic intensive workload, so I thought some hardware issue and converted it into a NAS and it worked absolutely fine as well for a couple of years there too. Recently my wife needed a Windows PC to do some work, and since I had upgraded my NAS, I repurposed the same PC and installed Windows on it, and it worked absolutely fine for her too. Then I decided to check some Graphics intensive workload, like 3d benchmarking stuff, and it didn't freeze once. I was delighted, and thought maybe I didn't investigated the issue the first time, and the PC was fine all along. So I reinstalled Debian 13, and lo behold, the issue came back. I found out while I was using IKEA's 3d kitchen planner. So I replaced distros, and it froze on Ubuntu and CachyOS as well. I tried switching between Wayland and X11, switched browsers, but PC freezes seconds logging into IKEA's kitchen planner (as soon as 3d graphics are loaded). I reinstalled windows, and my wife has been designing a kitchen in IKEA's 3d kitchen planner for over an hour now, and it hasn't frozen once. What's going on? How do I even investigate this?
I have reinstalled Linux and had sudo dmesg -w running, but no logs are captured before it's frozen. I have reproduced the issue multiple times now on Linux, and not once it froze on Windows. I have also done memtests, and tried multiple disks both nvme and sata. Also have tried multiple browsers with apt and flatpaks. I really need Lemmy's collective intelligence to help me here.
Update: Well system stopped hanging with 'nomodeset' as boot parameter, confirming that it's Intel 915 driver. I tried variety of Intel related kernel parameters like psr, dc, guc, even messed with Intel cstate, but it hanged every time Intel 915 driver is even loaded. So ???
like this
I feel like it possible bug in i915 driver at least it sounds so from symptoms , try add to boot parameters

Old laptop suddenly won't recognize Linux boot drive
I'm in a really weird situation, yesterday I installed Linux (Fedora Kinoite) on my mothers laptop (An old Asus F550C) and it worked perfectly fine. Great! Or so I thought.
We needed a few files from Windows 10, so I put that drive in, put the files on a USB stick, put the Linux drive back in and... Nothing? It recognizes the drive, but not the Linux boot option.
I put the drive in my pc and it works fine, the boot drive is also still detected in the laptop just fine.
What the hell could it be??
- The laptop is fine (Windows drive works perfectly)
- The drive is recognized in bios (But not the boot option)
- The drive works fine in my desktop and can boot to Fedora
- The laptop can boot to the USB drive I used to create the install
- Yesterday it worked just fine
- I went through the bios, but can't find any settings related to this (Secure boot did not fix it)
Update: the issue is solved! Windows somehow wiped the efiboot entry.
I mounted the drive from a live usb and ran
sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'
After rebooting, the system works again!
I've dealt with something similar to this on a lenovo ideapad.
The BIOS picks up UEFI info from windows and messes up the boot config and order. I solved it by using grub2 rescue, booting to the correct Linux entry and using grub to update UEFI and write the config correctly again.
Super pain in the a**.
This ended up being the issue! Booted up a live USB, mounted the disk and ran
sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'
After rebooting it worked again!
Now to never plug a windows drive into that PC again...

Pre-Flight Check
This may seem like edging towards paranoia, however, how many of you do a pre-flight check of your network before you use your devices?
Every morning when I start up my computer, I do a pre-flight check against sites like DNSLeakCheck, and several others. It's a back check to make sure my network is operating in as private, secured, and an anonymous manner as possible, and perhaps give me a little more peace of mind.
To facilitate this in an expedient manner, I wrote a simple bat script to do just that.
@echo off
echo Opening websites in succession...
:: List of websites to open
set "websites=grc.com cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni browserleaks.com/dns dnscheck.tools ipleak.net"
:: Delay between opening each website (in seconds)
set "delay=5"
:: Loop through each website and open it
for %%i in (%websites%) do (
echo Opening %%i...
start "" "https://%%i"
timeout /t %delay% /nobreak >nul
)
echo All websites opened.

Quality info on the aid situation in Gaza
Really great maps and info on how the aid stations are distributed and operate.

Israel attack on Yemeni newspaper was second deadliest on journalists ever recorded
Thirty one journalists and media staff were killed by Israeli strikes on newspaper offices in Yemen last week in what the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Friday was the deadliest attack on journalists in the last 16 years.Israel struck a newspaper complex in Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, which housed three Houthi-connected media outlets on 10 September. At the time, members of the Yemeni army’s press arm were finishing the weekly print edition, according to the publication’s editor-in-chief, which increased the number of journalists present during the strike.
At least 35 people were killed in the attack, including one child who accompanied a journalist to the office, and 131 were wounded, according to the Houthi ministry of health. All of the journalists worked for either the Houthi-affiliated 26 September newspaper or Yemen newspaper.
The attack was the second-deadliest against journalists that the CPJ had ever recorded, after the Maguindanao massacre in the Philippines in 2009.

The problem with Bernie Sanders’s ‘it is genocide’ admission - The US senator recognises the genocide of the Palestinian people but ends up blaming them for it.
History will judge us for whether we could see genocide for what it is, without asterisks, without exceptions, without the comfortable lies that let the powerful sleep while children starve to death or get torn to pieces. If we fail to grasp this fundamental truth, we do not just fail Palestinians. We fail every occupied, colonised, and oppressed people who might one day be told their resistance justifies their extermination.

New to Proxmox, Facing Issues with Homelab Setup - Need Advice
cross-posted from: lemmy.buddyverse.net/post/5454
Hello everyone, I’m fairly new to Proxmox and struggling with my homelab setup. I have two machines running Proxmox 9: an HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini (Core i7-9700) and a Dell OptiPlex 7070 Micro (Core i3 9th gen). I’m running into several issues and would appreciate your insights.
- Networking Issue on EliteDesk: I have two VMs (both Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS) on the same bridge (default vmbr0, I haven't modified any network settings in proxmox). If I stop or shut down one VM, the other loses internet connectivity. I can still access the applications from my home network using IP address (192.268.x.x).
- Backup Setup on OptiPlex: I’m running a Proxmox Backup Server VM with Backblaze B2 as an S3 datastore. This is working fine so far.
- Backup Problems on EliteDesk: I’m using default LVM-thin for VMs. Backups take a very long time and often freeze at 1-2%. Shutting down the VM cleanly afterward is nearly impossible. I’ve tried both Stop and Snapshot modes, but the issue persists. When a VM becomes unresponsive, it triggers the networking issue above. Would switching to ZFS help? If so, how can I migrate without losing any data?
- Hardware Acceleration for Jellyfin: On the EliteDesk, I’d like to enable hardware acceleration for a VM running Jellyfin (in Docker) using the i7-9700’s UHD 630 iGPU. Can anyone recommend a clear guide specific to this CPU? The Proxmox documentation isn’t very detailed for Intel GPUs.
The networking issue is the most frustrating. Has anyone encountered similar bridge problems? Any advice on fixes or next steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Always excited to see more "buy here" alternatives rather than "just" an OS or custom ROM. Obviously we need that too but all too often we get stuck having to buy another phone we do not want (e.g. Pixel because Google) or hardware that's not supported enough for daily driving (e.g. PinePhone with camera still not supported properly on Pro, years later, power management unable to handle a day of use).
Unfortunately "FuriOS" doesn't look like a reliable alternative just based on the number of eyes, and hands, on it, cf github.com/FuriLabs so unless they can somehow pull all that weight on their own then I'd let others try before me and read reviews on the whole experience, not solely the quality of the hardware or the architecture of the software.

Marxism plus Leninism
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Leninism,
is in fact, Marxism-Leninism, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Marxism
plus Leninism. Leninism is not an ideology unto itself, but rather another free
component of a fully functioning Marxist ideology made useful by the
『Manifesto』 , 『Capital』 and vital ideology components comprising a full
ideology.
Many communists run a modified version of the Marxism ideology every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Marxism
which is widely used today is often called Leninism, and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the Marxism ideology, developed by Marx and
Engels.
There really is a Leninism, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the ideology they use. Leninism is the methodiology: a set of working
methods for achieving the goal of communism. The methodiology is an essential
part of an ideology, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context
of a complete ideology. Leninism is normally used in combination with the
Marxism ideology: the whole ideology is basically Marxism with Leninism added,
or Marxism-Leninism. All the so-called Leninism distributions are really
distributions of Marxism-Leninism!

Venezuela Announces Capture of Alleged DEA Agent With Massive Drug Shipment
According to Cabello, the detainees confessed the shipment was part of a "false flag operation" designed to incriminate Venezuela in international drug trafficking and justify external aggression. "The four detainees are saying they work for the DEA," Cabello told state television, calling the alleged plan a "maneuver for destabilization."Authorities said the boat originated in Colombia's Guajira region and was connected to a trafficking group called "Los Orientales," allegedly led by Gersio Parra Machado. Cabello argued that the operation demonstrated Venezuela's commitment to combating narcotics without resorting to lethal force. "We don't apply the death penalty," he said, drawing a contrast with U.S. military strikes on alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean.

Okay sure, they are a bunch of idiots, yes men, and fascists. I'm happy to agree on that.
But how would that even fit into the plans? They are currently just sinking drug ships and calling that a win, ignoring due process and international outcry like usual. They don't need a false flag bust for that strategy, nor does it make sense to assume they'd suddenly use a more complex plan than "lob rocket uga buga" which has so far been the cleverest they came up with in terms of foreign policy.
And then, assuming someone with some planing capability stuck around and actually came up with this international false flag drug smuggling operation for some indecipherable reason, why would they immediately after go back to brain-dead-mode and start sending a fresh-hire teenager to pose as a hardened Venezuelan smuggler?

This is another cut, among thousands. It's bad because we can see the motivation behind it. Free speech only for one team.
I don't want to be victim-blaming when I say expecting any big US corp to protect your privacy is futile. I know they want the reach of Insta and that's of course not a bad thing. But it's a threat considering who runs it. Another threat is editorializing the content. Don't put music on it, don't opine on the shamefulness of what the jackboots are doing, just post it. It's the best chance of this dying in the courts before the independence of the judiciary has completely gone. Constant dripping wears the stone and the MAGAs are pissing on it full force.
Another consideration must be at this point to host or mirror your content on servers outside the US. Countries that already didn't give an eff about the US or cooperating with its authorities. If you run your digital opposition on US-run/controlled infrastructure, you'll be shut down soon.
Ehab from Northern Gaza — My Family Has Lost Everything, We Sleep on the Streets — Please Help Us Survive
My name is Ehab, from northern Gaza. I have a family with four children — we have lost everything. Our home was destroyed, and I lost parts of my family: my sister and her children are among the dead and wounded. Now, we sleep on the streets, with no shelter and no safety.
The warplanes never leave the skies above us — we cannot sleep from the noise and fear. Tanks and raids are frighteningly close, and the gunboats fire from the sea. The situation is terrifying — the children cry from fear, and the elderly cannot endure the cold and hunger.
I have lost so much weight from hunger and this genocide. We have no source of income, no money to evacuate to the south where it may be safer. We desperately need funds to move my family to safety, and to buy food and medicine. You are our only hope.
Please, share this story and donate if you can. Every amount, no matter how small, can save us right now..
May God protect us and our families. From the depths of my heart, thank you to anyone who reaches out a hand to help.
