Sept. 22, 2025Israel kills 29 Palestinians since dawn, as it continues to demolish Gaza City. Civilians make up 94 percent of those killed in Gaza since March, according to independent data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). Portugal, Canada, Australia, and the UK all announce their recognition of Palestinian statehood, as France and Saudi Arabia plan to announce recognition at a world summit on Monday. Israeli leaders threaten the countries recognizing Palestinian statehood, while declaring recent advances in Syria as part of creating “Greater Israel.” Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon kills five, including a father and his three children. Egyptian-British political prisoner Alaa Abd El-Fattah receives presidential pardon in Cairo. President Donald Trump announces a sweeping reform of the H1B visa system, which includes a stipulation that re-entry into the United States could come with a $100,000 fee.

The US government is taking a second stab at breaking up Google
Starting Monday, the US government will get another crack at convincing a federal judge to break up Google, after a different judge decided to keep it intact despite finding it to be a monopolist.
Lawyers for Google and the Justice Department will return to a federal courthouse in Alexandria, VA for a roughly two-week trial about how to restore competition to the advertising technology markets that Google illegally monopolized. It comes just weeks after DC District Court Judge Amit Mehta — who issued a historic ruling deeming Google a monopoly in online search — delivered his prescription for restoring competition to the online search market. Mehta’s ruling stopped far short of the government’s major asks to remedy Google’s harm, including denying a requested sale of Google’s Chrome browser, and letting the company keep paying for prime distribution on spots on browsers and phones.

Democrats silent as Republicans seem galvanised after Charlie Kirk memorial
The christofascists, like the GOP before them, have really honed in on "When did you stop beating your wife?" setups to silence discussion. Add in projection and a Democratic party that stands for nothing of use to voters, and it's an impossible position, especially given what media ownership looks like now and shit-stirrers champing at the bit to attack anyone who speaks ill of a bigot.
Both parties are dead. The GOP went Nazi cult of personality that allows no diversity of ideas, and the Dems rushed to fill the conservative void. Biden had some amazing successes with the BIL and IRA (both of which benefited rural areas more than cities), but he's remembered for a single awful debate performance.
We need something -- anything -- to the left of Thatcher, and the moneyed class simply won't let that happen. So long as the Nazis can play the "moral high ground" card effectively to enough people by completely perverting the teaching of Jesus as "Christian," I don't know what can be done.
"Hate thy neighbour" is now Gospel, straight from Trump's mouth. And they've brainwashed people into thinking the main point of the New Testament is retribution. If we get out of this hole by some miracle, it's going to take a couple of generations to get back to reasonable discourse with the backdrop of a world increasingly becoming unlivable.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Democrats maintained a wary silence on Monday as Donald Trump’s Republican party appeared galvanised by a memorial service for the late rightwing activist Charlie Kirk that was part religious revival, part political rally.Nearly 100,000 people filled an American football stadium and overflow arena in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday to pay tribute to Kirk, according to his his organisation Turning Point USA. The 31-year-old staunch Trump ally was shot dead on 10 September.
The service was a show of force that blended politics with relihad gion, putting Christian nationalism at the heart of Trump’s “Make America great again” (Maga) movement. It also cast Kirk as a martyr who could be a rallying point in future elections. “Today is the day democrats lost 2028,” posted Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Republican senator John McCain.
Kirk’s widow, Erika, earned widespread praise for a tearful address in which she said she forgives the man charged with her husband’s killing. She told the crowd: “My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life. I forgive him.”
Providing just enough veneer from a single speaker to pretend this event had anything approaching conservative values.

Acosta stands by Epstein’s ‘sweetheart deal’ during congressional hearing
They said the former FIU law professor said Epstein’s victims weren’t credible — and that he didn’t believe that their stories of sexual assault would lead to a successful federal prosecution.
Acosta “essentially said he didn’t have faith in the victims, their stories and their ability to tell their own story and their own testimony, which is deeply disturbing to all of us sitting in there,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost during the break.
They said they also found it disturbing that, even in hindsight, Acosta would not admit that mistakes were made and was not apologetic about how his actions led to other victims being abused by Epstein.

California bans most law enforcement including ICE from wearing masks
California’s governor has signed a bill to ban local and federal law enforcement officers, including with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from wearing face masks while on duty.
The ban, which comes into effect on 1 January 2026, is part of a series of bills that aims to protect residents from what Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has called “secret police” roaming the streets.
US Attorney Bill Essayli, a Trump appointee, said California “has no jurisdiction over the federal government”, adding the law has “no effect on our operations” and agents “will continue to protect their identities”.
The ban is in response to federal agents wearing masks during Los Angeles immigration raids.
The law makes exceptions for undercover agents, masks used to protect against disease or wildfires, and tactical gear.

Bonkers CDC vaccine meeting ends with vote to keep COVID shot access
A two-day federal vaccine advisory meeting crammed with chaos, confusion, inept debate, bizarre comments, and a hot mic catching someone saying "you're an idiot," ended with an unexpected twist: The advisors unanimously voted—possibly unintentionally—to maintain broad access to COVID-19 vaccines.
In the 12–0 vote, the committee of advisors selected by anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. adopted a recommendation for adults 65 and older and people aged 6 months to 64 years to get a COVID-19 vaccine based on shared clinical decision-making. After this story was published, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adopted the recommendation, which will broadly maintain requirements that federal and private health insurance plans cover COVID-19 vaccines at no cost. While the shared clinical decision-making is a new requirement, the CDC noted in adopting the recommendation that such decision making can be done in consultation with providers, "including physicians, nurses, and pharmacists". Most people receive COVID-19 vaccines from their local pharmacists.

Colin Kaepernick pays for autopsy of Black student found hanging from tree
Immediately after reports of Reed’s death circulated, civil rights activists pushed for a thorough investigation, citing Mississippi’s long and bloody history of lynchings, including the brutal death of Emmett Till in 1955.
On Wednesday, the Mississippi state examiner conducted an autopsy that ruled out foul play in Reed’s death. The Cleveland City Police Department has reportedly handed their findings over the FBI, which said they’re willing to investigate further if evidence “if, during the course of the local investigation, information comes to light of a potential federal violation.”
On Friday, Crump announced that Kaepernick, a vocal advocate against police brutality and racial injustice, will be paying for an independent autopsy on Reed’s body as soon as it’s released from the state medical examiner. The money will be coming from Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp’s Autopsy Initiative, which provides free, second autopsies for those whose loved ones have died in police custody or under other suspicious circumstances.

While praising Charlie Kirk’s commitment to free speech, Texas leaders move to punish students celebrating his death
In 2017, after a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, turned violent, a Texas man put out a press release: “TODAY CHARLOTTESVILLE TOMORROW TEXAS A&M.” Alt-right speaker Richard Spencer signed on to speak at the rally in College Station, before the university cancelled it, citing safety concerns.
This decision came at a time when universities, in Texas and nationally, were facing significant blowback for restricting or cancelling appearances by conservative speakers, fueling a narrative that right-leaning voices were being unfairly silenced.
This outrage made its way to the Texas Legislature, which in 2019 passed a bill requiring that all outdoor spaces on university campuses be designated as open forums for public speech, and prohibiting universities from considering anticipated controversy when deciding whether to allow a speaker on campus.
...
When protests broke out on college campuses nationwide over the war in Gaza in 2024, the president of the University of Texas at Austin called in the state police to quell the largest protests, drawing praise from Republican state leaders.
In response, lawmakers rolled back some of the protections enshrined in 2019. A new law, approved by the Legislature and signed by Abbott in June, restricts who can protest on campus and when, barring the use of amplification devices during class hours or expressive activity at night or at the end of the semester.
FIRE sued over the new law earlier this month, saying it’s overly broad and would have unintended consequences. It could be used to punish students for doing things like playing music, worshipping, wearing a Make America Great Again Hat or writing an op-ed during the nighttime hours, FIRE said in statements.
“It's human nature to say, I don't like this speech, let's find a way to stop it,” Steinbaugh said. “That is why the First Amendment is such an important limitation on government power, because it recognizes … if each of us gets to say, ‘you don't get to speak,’ then pretty much no speech will be saved.”

need a simple sketching software for linux desktop (with real world dimensions)
Is there any simple vector drawing application that can let me make rough sketches with arbitrary units?
For example, I want to be able to draw a rectangle that is exactly 2'6 x 12".
If I scale it by 50% it should be 15" x 6". I want to be able to measure distances. I don't want to keep track of a scale/conversion/ratio in my head, that's a perfect job for computer.
In the old Sketchup software (RIP) you could type the measurements in while drawing or manipulating objects. It was extremely fast and intuitive. I don't need 3d modelling; it was just a great UI.
All I can find is CAD and it is way overkill. Not gonna design a cotton gin or a circuit board. I just want to make a simple floor plan to see if the furniture would fit the way I want to arrange it. Or estimate material requirements for projects.
Desired features: Layers, customizable/smart keyboard shortcuts, colors, rectangle circle lines, transform/scale/skew/rotate, group/lock objects, rulers grids guide snapping.
anything?
like this
Take a look at Draw.io. It has an online mode, but also binary downloads for most operating systems (with everything saved locally).
I agree on your assessment of SketchUp - the old 2017 binary is still my go-to for woodworking design, even if it is a Windows install.
Can't think of any better designed and built software package I ever used than sketchup desktop. I wasted soooo much time making needlessly detailed 3d renderings of things around me. I sort of specifically dont want anything that good because it was way too engaging and a real time sink. So fun though. I miss it.
Its criminal to throw that much good code in the trash. If the companies don't want it it should revert to worker control or go to an archive/conservation organization. Another great product destroyed by capitalism.
I now need the try the various viable programs that have been recommended.

404 Media are suing ICE over $2 million spyware contract
404 Media has filed a lawsuit against ICE for access to its contract with Paragon, a company that sells powerful spyware for breaking into phones and accessing encrypted messaging apps.On Monday 404 Media filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demanding the agency publish its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware that can remotely break into mobile phones without the target even clicking a link. The sale of the spyware to ICE has activists and lawmakers deeply concerned about what the agency, which continues to push the Trump administration’s mass deportation effort, may use the technology for. The contract and related documents 404 Media is suing for may provide more information on what ICE intends to do with the spyware.
“404 Media has asked ICE to disclose agency records relating to its contract with a company known for its powerful spyware tool whose potential use in the agency’s ongoing mass-deportation campaign has prompted lawmakers, civil liberties organizations, and immigration groups to express deep concerns over potential civil rights abuses,” the lawsuit says.
404 Media first filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with ICE for documents related to its Paragon purchase in September 2024. Under the law, agencies are required to provide a response within 20 days, or provide an explanation of why they need more time. ICE acknowledged receipt of the request in September 2024, but has not since replied to any follow up inquiries. 404 Media then filed the lawsuit.

ICE acknowledged receipt of the request in September 2024, but has not since replied to any follow up inquiries. 404 Media then filed the lawsuit.
ICE signed the contract with Paragon’s U.S. subsidiary in September 2024. Soon after, the then Biden White House put a freeze on the deal as it investigated whether it clashed with a Biden executive order restricting the government’s use of spyware, WIRED reported. At the end of August with Trump in power, ICE reactivated the contract, independent journalist Jack Poulson reported.
💡
Do you know anything else about Paragon, this contract, or any others? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.The contract itself is for “a fully configured proprietary solution including license, hardware, warranty, maintenance, and training,” according to a description included in a public U.S. procurement database. The funding office for the purchase is listed as a division of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). It is not clear if the ICE deal is for a custom-made tool or for some version of Paragon’s flagship “Graphite” software.
Graphite is capable of letting police remotely break into messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook Messenger, and Gmail according to a 2021 report from Forbes. While other government spyware tries to take over an entire device allowing all sorts of other capabilities, Paragon sets itself apart by promising to access just the messaging applications, according to Forbes.
Still, that is an exceptionally powerful capability which can skirt the protections offered by end-to-end encrypted apps, and one that is likely very attractive to law enforcement or some intelligence agencies. In March researchers from Citizen Lab, an academic group that investigates the government spyware industry, said they identified suspected Paragon deployments in Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Israel, and Singapore. Separately the New York Times reported that the DEA has used Graphite.
Citizen Labs’ researchers said they shared their analysis with Meta, which in turn discovered an active Paragon zero-click exploit for WhatsApp. It involved the attacker adding a target to a WhatApp group and sending them a PDF which automatically infected the device. This meant Paragon’s software could hack into a target phone through its WhatsApp client without any target interaction. Later WhatsApp notified more than 90 people it believed had been targeted with Paragon’s exploit.

Some of those targets were in Italy, including prominent Italian and other European journalists, and activists who rescue refugees at sea. Those revelations have since ballooned into a full-scale political crisis, with parliamentary inquiries and The Guardian reporting that Paragon cancelled its contract with Italy.Paragon has positioned itself as a more ethical player in the scandal and abuse-ridden government spyware industry. Tools from other vendors stretching back years, from Hacking Team, to FinFisher, to NSO Group, have all been used at some point to spy on journalists or activists. Like the notorious NSO Group, which also tried to enter the U.S. market, Paragon is based in Israel.
Selling to ICE, an agency that has flaunted due process, accountability, and transparency, may complicate that stance for Paragon. ICE has arrested people who were following the steps necessary for legal immigration; waited outside courtrooms to immediately detain people after their immigration cases were dismissed to rush them out of the country; “de-documented” people who had valid work permits in order to deport them; and continues to pick up people around the country while masking their faces and declining to provide their names.
After ICE reactivated its Paragon contract, Senator Ron Wyden said in a statement to Bloomberg “ICE is already shredding due process and ruining lives in its rush to lock up kids, cooks and firefighters who pose no threat to anyone.”
“I’m extremely concerned about how ICE will use Paragon’s spyware to further trample on the rights of Americans and anyone who Donald Trump labels as an enemy,” he added.

Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section has gone from 36 “experienced attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians and police officers” to two. That’s two as in double of one. The departures are a mix of firings, pressured or forced resignations, resignations on principle and reassignments.

A Braided River
The Yarlung Zangbo River winds through Tibet as the world’s highest-altitude major river. Parts of it cut through a canyon deeper than 6,000 meters (three times the depth of the Grand Canyon). And other parts, like this section, are braided, with waterways that shift rapidly from season to season. The swift changes in a braided river’s sandbars come from large amounts of sediment eroded from steep mountains upstream. As that sediment sweeps downstream, some will deposit, which narrows channels and can increase their scouring. The river’s shape quickly becomes a complicated battle between sediment, flow speed, and slope. (Image credit: M. Garrison; animation credit: R. Walter; via NASA Earth Observatory)

Proxmox Backup Server VM crashes take down host - any idea why?
cross-posted from: lemmy.buddyverse.net/post/1043…
I recently upgraded my network from a basic router to a Netgear GS108E Gigabit switch. Backups are now way faster, which is great… but now I’ve run into a new problem.I run Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) in a VM on one of my servers (let’s call it Proxmox 2). PBS has 100 GB of cache storage since I’m using S3 as a datastore - it stores chunks locally before uploading to S3.
Here’s the issue: I try to backup a VM from another server (Proxmox 1). The VM’s storage is 300 GB, but actual usage is under 30 GB. Everything works fine until it hits 34% (104 GB of data). At that point, the PBS VM and the host server itself become completely unreachable. I have to force power off and restart.
I understand why PBS might crash – my VM has 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, and my internet is only around 60–70 Mbps—but why would the host server hang as well?
Has anyone experienced something like this? Could it be networking, storage, or something else in Proxmox causing the host to become unresponsive when PBS gets busy? Any ideas or advice would be appreciated!

New to Proxmox, Facing Issues with Homelab Setup - Need Advice
cross-posted from: lemmy.buddyverse.net/post/5454Hello 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!

I haven't tried a USB adapter with proxmox, but there's a chance it would work. I was also looking at a cheap pcie card like this one as a way to add another ethernet port.

That being said, the steps in the link that David gave have worked for me to stop the hardware hang issue with the intel nic. Basically disable tcp segmentation offload and generic segmentation offload with ethtool -K eno1 tso off gso off. You can add a post-up command to the interace config to make it persistent.

Quitter les GAFAM en étant pas trop geek
Hello,
Depuis le début de l’année, j’ai doucement remis en cause mes habitudes de consommation et d’usages du “numérique”. Je voulais me passer des produits et services qui nuisent à l’informatique et l’Internet communautaire et bienveillant. Je suis parti de loin : Environnement logiciel 100% Google (Gmail, Google Drive etc), Windows et gros utilisateur des sites des GAFAM.
Je suis un profil classique : Je ne suis pas du tout dans l’informatique mais je sais utiliser un ordinateur. Je n’ai jamais aimé ouvrir un terminal avec un fond noir ou violet et j’aime toujours pas, mais s’il faut taper quelques commandes, je sais suivre un tuto.
J’y ai passé un peu de temps, mais aujourd’hui je n’utilise plus beaucoup des produits des GAFAM. Je me suis dit que mon retour d’expérience pourrait être pertinent à poster ici. Si cela peut aider ou convaincre des gens comme moi à passer le pas.
Je vais rester très synthétique, mais énumérer quand même mes motivations et mes objectifs avant d’évoquer les alternatives que j’utilise aujourd’hui. Je pense que c’est intéressant car j’ai parfois des discussions où j’ai du mal de rassembler les arguments qui me permettent d’appuyer mes motivations.
Note : Je n’évoque pas les enjeux écologiques et sociaux mais c’est une problématique à part entière. J’espère prendre le temps prochainement de repenser mes habitudes en prenant ces aspects en compte.
Mes motivations
Pourquoi éviter les GAFAM
- Tout ce que l’on fait en ligne est collecté, analysé, profilé
- Nos goûts, déplacements, relations sociales deviennent une matière première pour alimenter la publicité ciblée
- Chaque entreprise enferme ses utilisateurs dans un écosystème difficile à quitter
- Ils imposent des cycles rapides de renouvellement matériel/logiciel
- Les mises à jour rendent souvent les anciens appareils inutilisables ou ralentis
- Ils dépensent des sommes colossales pour influencer les gouvernements et façonner les lois en leur faveur. Ils deviennent capables d’imposer leurs règles au monde.
Le problème spécifiquement avec Apple
- Le business modèle d’Apple repose sur la captation totale : enfermement dans un écosystème propriétaire, non interopérabilité des produits Apple avec d’autres marques, obsolescence programmée (ou psychologique).
- Exemples de non interopérabilité : airdrop impossible à utiliser avec d’autres OS, les airpods qui marchent mal avec Android, le port lighting etc.
- Les iMessage en bleu vs vert ce n’est pas un bug c’est volontaire (et ça devient un marqueur social).
- Apple a imposé l’idée que la technologie est quelque chose qui doit être verrouillé, centralisé, contrôlé par une entité unique. Elle nous a donné l’illusion que l’innovation n’existe que dans le cadre d’un monopole.
- Les consommateurs ne choisissent plus un produit pour ses qualités intrinsèques, mais parce qu’ils ont intégré qu’ils doivent rester dans l’écosystème.
- Un produit Apple est un marqueur social. L’entreprise a réussi à transformer un objet utilitaire en symbole identitaire, en signe d’appartenance sociale.
- Apple a transformée la technologie en vitrine consumériste : tu n’es pas un utilisateur, tu es un client, et ton identité sociale se mesure aux nombre de produits Apple que tu as dans ton sac.
- Apple est l’une des entreprises qui a le plus contribué à la dépossession numérique : elle a retiré aux individus la capacité de comprendre, modifier, réparer, détourner les outils qu’ils utilisent. Elle a remplacé le partage par le verrouillage et l’innovation collective par la dépendance à un géant.
Mes petits problèmes
J’ai des logiciels métiers qui fonctionnent sous Windows (la suite Adobe, les logiciels Blackmagic). J’ai donc un PC portable sous Windows pour le travail.
Ma banque m’impose une application et je ne peux pas utiliser cette appli sur un téléphone rooté. Je n’ai donc pas encore pu changer l’OS de mon téléphone.
Les logiciels
Objectifs :
- Privilégier des logiciels open source et qui utilisent des standards.
Les logiciels de bases
Système d’exploitation pour PC : Debian et KDE
- Très bonne surprise, ça a été très rapide à installer. Je n’ai pas eu besoin de lancer le terminal, sauf pour les drivers NVIDIA (voir ce site : wiki.debian.org/fr/NvidiaGraph…)
Navigateur Internet : Mozilla Firefox
- Linux et Android
Client mail : Mozilla Thunderbird
- Linux et Android
Bureautique : Onlyoffice
- Linux et Android
- Très moyen sur Android
Lecteur audio vidéo : VLC
Gestionnaire de mots de passe : KeepassXC pour Linux et KeepassDX pour Android
Messageries instantanées
Objectifs :
- Privilégier des logiciels décentralisés et sécurisés
XMPP :
- Dino pour Linux
- Cheogram pour Android
Signal : Client éponyme sur toutes les plateformes
Sur mon NAS (Synology DS923+)
- Serveur vidéo et musique : Jellyfin
- Jellyfin est vachement bien. Ça remplace sans problème Plex.
- Drive : Synology Drive
- Protocol webdav pris en charge dans l’explorateur de KDE et Owlfiles sur Android (j’ai pas trouvé mieux)
Services web
J’ai décidé de partir chez Infomaniak car leurs offres sont assez simple à comprendre et leurs outils facile à utiliser, pour un prix, des valeurs et des fonctionnalités correctes. J’en parle ici : jlai.lu/post/15930302
- Serveur mail : Infomaniak
- Serveur contact : Infomaniak
- Protocole carddav pris en charge par Thunderbird pour Linux et DAVx⁵ pour Android
- Serveur agenda : Infomaniak
- Protocole caldav pris en charge par Thunderbird pour Linux et DAVx⁵ pour Android
- Drive : Infomaniak
- Protocol webdav (dispo dans la formule payante de Infomaniak) pris en charge dans l’explorateur de KDE et Owlfiles sur Android
Se divertir et s’informer
Même si aucun de mes proches ne s’est intéressé à ces alternatives, j’ai quand même créé des comptes et mis en favoris ces sites.
Réseaux sociaux
- Instance Lemmy (Reddit en fédéré) : jlai.lu
- Client sur téléphone : Blorp
- Instance Mastodon (Twitter en fédéré) : piaille.fr
- Instance Peertube (Youtube en fédéré) : indymotion.fr
- Instance Pixelfed (Instagram en fédéré) : pixelfed.fr
Presse
- Flux RSS : Dans Thunderbird
- Très décevant, ça fonctionne mais ça donne pas envie de l’utiliser
Musiques et podcast
- Magasin de musiques : Bandcamp
- Écouter des podcasts depuis le navigateur : Je n’ai rien trouvé de génial
Spécifique au téléphone
Cartographie (lecture, itinéraire, création de GPX etc) : Organic Map
- Je suis tellement fan d’Organic Map. Cette application est merveilleuse.
Podcasts : Antenna Pod
Magasin d'application : F-Droid
Gestion des photos : Synology Photos (pas idéal)
Sites web de cartographie
Objectifs :
- Se passer de Google Maps (c’est très dur)
- Privilégier des commerces et des initiatives qui ont du sens
Sites :
- Site web de carto OSM avec possibilité de faire des itinéraires : cartes.app/
- BRouter, pour calculer des itinéraires : brouter.damsy.net/latest/#map=…
- Carte des alternatives : transiscope.gogocarto.fr
- Cartes des commerces locaux : presdecheznous.gogocarto.fr
- Carte des magasins vracs : cartovrac.fr/
- Carte des magasins zéro dechet : zerodechet.gogocarto.fr/
- Equivalent Street View sur OSM et participatif : panoramax.openstreetmap.fr
- Pour publier les photos depuis le téléphone : f-droid.org/fr/packages/app.pa…
Alternatives à trouver
- Notion, en open source et à installer sur un NAS. Les alternatives que j’ai trouvé sont assez buguée.
- Un bon explorateur de fichier pour Android open source qui prenne en charge le webdav
- Une bonne appli pour les SMS pour Android open source et stable
- Un client Android pour XMPP qui soit aussi bien que le client de Signal
- Un client Linux pour écouter des podcasts
- Une suite bureautique open source bien faite pour Android
Les logiciels et projets intéressants que je n’utilise pas
- Nextcloud : Ça marche bien mais c’est trop lent sur mon NAS (qui pourtant n’est pas du tout surchargé), ça m’a saoulé
- Les applis Fossify pour Android. L’initiative est super mais les notifications de l’appli SMS ne fonctionnent pas toujours, la galerie met du temps à trouver les nouvelles photos, le clavier bugue. J’utilise uniquement l’application Agenda.
- Les chatons : Un groupe d’hébergeurs éthiques qui hébergent des services décentralisés.
Prochains sujets sur lesquels me pencher
- Je n’ai pas encore regardé les solutions pour jouer sous Linux. Il parait que Valve a bien amélioré les choses.
- Installer GrapheneOS sur mon téléphone, quitte à avoir un deuxième téléphone pourri sous l’Android de Google juste pour l’appli bancaire.
- DSM, l’OS de Synology, est trop cool. Peut être que je le remettrai en cause un jour.
Soutenir financièrement le développement open source
- soutenir.framasoft.org/fr/?f=n…
- supporting.openstreetmap.org/d…
- organicmaps.app/fr/donate/
- opencollective.com/
- liberapay.com/
Voilà voilà. C’est pas exhaustif mais je pense que cette petite liste peut permettre de gagner du temps aux personnes qui comme moi ne sont pas du milieu mais qui décident en 2025 de quitter les GAFAM. J’essaierai de mettre à jour ce post si je trouve de meilleurs logiciels et services.
N’hésitez pas à me faire des retours si vous voulez, je suis preneur =)
Bonne continuation !

Donations for Turning Point USA pour in after founder Charlie Kirk’s death
from the never-let-a-crisis-go-to-waste dept.:
The powerful fundraising operation that rightwing activist Charlie Kirk led to build the influential college group Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is receiving a wave of support from large donors and Donald Trump allies since his murder, which suggests the group will remain a major force on the American right, campaign finance experts and consultants say.New backing and appeals for help to sustain TPUSA have come from, among others, Lynn Friess, the widow of mega-donor Foster Friess, who was Kirk’s first major backer when he formed his campus-focused Republican group in 2012 at the age of 18. Friess pledged $1m to TPUSA days after the 31-year-old’s killing.
In an email to friends and allies on the right, Friess wrote on 14 September that her donation was to support a surge in “new TPUSA chapters springing up across the country … helping this incredible movement grow even stronger”.
Run an hourslong ad masquerading as a memorial service, and this is a rather predictable result.

Apple steps up war of words with European regulators
"Bureaucrats in Brussels" are unfairly challenging Apple's closed ecosystem and denying users the "magical, innovative experience" that makes the firm unique, Apple said.The so-called walled garden that combines Apple's products and software ensures a safe and high quality experience for users, it says, but EU regulators counter that it unfairly shuts out rivals.

Chi siamo
FIAB Federazione Italiana Ambiente e Bicicletta, aderente a ECF European Cyclist's Federation, attraverso le associazioni locali tra le quali FIAB L'Aquila, persegue obiettivi di salvaguardia dell'ambiente urbano ed extraurbano e di promozione dell'uso della bicicletta, sia per gli spostamenti in città che per la pratica del cicloturismo.
FIAB L'Aquila fa advocacy nei confronti delle Amministrazioni Locali per ottenere interventi e provvedimenti a favore della circolazione sicura e confortevole della bicicletta e, più in generale, per migliorare la vivibilità urbana attraverso la realizzazione di strade e piste ciclabili, di provvedimenti di moderazione del traffico, di politiche di incentivazione, di uso combinato bici+mezzi collettivi di trasporto, ed altro.
L'associazione ha sempre cercato un dialogo costruttivo con gli enti locali senza distinzione di colore politico alcuno.
FIAB ha creato il progetto Comuni Ciclabili che valuta il grado di ciclabilità dei comuni, vale a dire quell’insieme di infrastrutture e azioni che li rendono adatti ad essere vissuti e visitati in bicicletta.
Inoltre FIAB L'Aquila organizza iniziative, eventi e manifestazioni per chi va in bicicletta e sviluppa proposte e progetti per promuovere il cambiamento verso l’utilizzo di comportamenti quotidiani sostenibili e un utilizzo sempre più diffuso della bicicletta. Tra gli eventi più importanti a carattere nazionale ci sono Pedalare Resistere Pedalare, Bimbimbici, la Settimana Europea della Mobilità; si contano numerosi altri eventi solo locali come corsi, convegni, gite cicloturistiche urbane ed extraurbane, progetti soprattutto nelle scuole e nelle aziende.
La certificazione “Azienda Bike Friendly” (CFE-ITA) per l’Italia, all'interno di un Consorzio di 16 partners europei, consente alle aziende di misurarsi con l’unico standard europeo volontario per le sedi lavorative.
FIAB L’Aquila crede fermamente che la bicicletta è uno degli strumenti per il miglioramento ambientale, sociale, economico, della salute e della sicurezza, che contribuisce alla vivibilità della città di cui ogni cittadino ha diritto e necessità.

Feature Request: Fediverse-wide Hashtag subscription
Given the following homomorphism (morphism, analogy) between microblogs like Mastodon and the forumverse:
| nr | microblog | forumverse |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | subscribe to hashtags | subscribe to communities |
| 2 | include particular hashtags in their posts | (cross-)post in particular communities |
| 3 | list posts of a hashtag | view a community |
| 4 | comment a post | comment a post |
| 5 | star a post | upvote a post |
I wish to interact with microbloggers as a piefed user. Piefed could render microblog posts that contain a hashtag as a forum post within a "community" named by this particular hashtag. Also, microblog accounts could be viewed like regular user in piefed.
Pros: Lemmy posts and communities are visible and subscriptable in Mastodon already. Piefed should support
Cons: Re-interpreting microblog posts as forum entries could lead to some misunderstandings which again lead to defederation. But I cannot think of any.

in reply to geneva_convenience • • •I don't know if you were being satire or not, and I'm only replying you in case you drew it, the hand of "UK" and the one behind it look very much like AI-generated to me. Especially the one behind it, I don't think any sane human, with any level of drawing skill, would think that's what a hand looks like. It looks like the palm is stretched out to be twice the normal size, then one or two fingers (if you call the bottom, fat piece of meat, a finger) attached to it. The "UK" hand also has its index, middle, and ring fingers merged.
If you really drew this, and it's the way you draw stuff and be proud of this art style, cheers. If you know this is AI-generated and still try to belittle real human art with this, shame on you.
