Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials


A group of hackers from the Com, a loose-knit community behind some of the most significant data breaches in recent years, have posted the names and personal information of hundreds of government officials, including people working for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“I want my MONEY MEXICO,” a user of the Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters Telegram channel, which is a combination of a series of other hacking group names associated with the Com, posted on Thursday. The message was referencing a claim from the DHS that Mexican cartels have begun offering thousands of dollars for doxing agents. The U.S. government has not provided any evidence for this claim.

UK Home Office loses bid to block Palestine Action from challenging ban as terror group


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/37669840

Published date: 17 October 2025 12:44 BST
last update: 1015 EDT
The Court of Appeal on Friday dismissed the government's attempt to stop the judicial review of its decision to ban the group.

During the judgement, four judges, including the Lady Chief Justice, also granted Palestine Action's co-founder, Huda Ammori, two further grounds to challenge the ban, that were previously rejected.

These grounds include that the Home Secretary, at the time, failed to consider relevant information or/and considered irrelevant information, and that she failed to follow her published policy "which prescribes that certain factors may be taken into account".

Following Friday's judgement, Ammori praised the decision and described it as an "authoritarian ban" that must be opposed.

Obviously the next step will be charging the justices for supporting a known terror group.

Yeah, kinda. But, it’s far righties that jizz over capitalism the most. Trump’s such a good businessman. He will run the country great, it’s a business after all.
in reply to cybrefool

Liberals are generally those who support the capitalist status quo, or think it only needs tweaks.
in reply to cybrefool

The liberals were never extreme enough for the communists and Marxist. Although they were made to feel like the group, they were never actually accepted. And for some reason now its being revealed that "liberals" are not extreme enough and part of the problem.
in reply to Soktopraegaeawayok

Marxists have always opposed liberalism, liberalism is pro-capitalism and anti-socialist and Marxism is anti-capitalist and pro-socialist. Liberalism is extreme though, as Edie pointed out, just in a horrible direction.

To a tankie it’s anyone that doesn’t support genocide by Russia/China.


NodeBB <> Lemmy federation issue (re: nullable image/icon)


nutomic@lemmy.ml reported a federation issue with a NodeBB instance and we debugged it. It turns out Lemmy is unable to handle actors who have image or icon set to null.

Lemmy is taking steps to handle this (source, source), and NodeBB will update its actor logic to omit properties without an avatar or cover photo set.

Re: NodeBB <> Lemmy federation issue (re: nullable image/icon)


NodeBB v4.6.1 contains the fix so that if an avatar and cover photo are not set, they are not included in the ActivityPub actor data.


Spit On, Sworn At, and Undeterred: What It’s Like to Own a Cybertruck


Aside from a MAGA hat, there is likely no object that feels more emblematic of US president Donald Trump’s return to the White House than the Tesla Cybertruck. The blunt angles and steel doors look futuristic, for sure, but only if the future looks a lot like RoboCop. To some, it’s a metallic status symbol. To others, it’s fascism on wheels. Either way, heads turn.

Cybertruck owners see things differently. “To me, it's just a vehicle that I love,” says Andrew Castillo, a stock trader from Los Angeles. “It has no political affiliations at all to me.”

We’re standing in the parking lot of McCormick's Palm Springs Classic Car Auctions. All around us, a dozen Cybertruck owners—and their cars—bake in the 100 degree heat. They’ve arrived for a meetup organized by Michael Goldman, who runs the 53,000-person Facebook group Cybertruck Owners Only. Though suspicious of the media, they’re eager to set the record straight about the car that they love. WIRED is here to learn how it feels to be out in public in such a politically charged vehicle. Has the past year or so changed anyone’s minds about owning the truck? Do owners like the attention—or are they adding bumper stickers decrying Elon Musk?

As we’re talking, a woman drives by in a small sedan. “Your cars are fucking ugly!” she screams before peeling off. Castillo smiles. “Some people just aren’t playing with a full deck of cards,” he says serenely.

Frans Timmermans: ‘Jetten is met D66 op de stoel van de VVD gaan zitten’


Frans Timmermans vindt dat D66 te ver naar rechts is opgeschoven. Dat zegt hij in de verkiezingspodcast Politiek Dichtbij van het AD en de aangesloten regiotitels. „Alles is een beetje gaan verschuiven naar rechts. Rob Jetten heeft er zelf voor gekozen op de plek te gaan zitten waar vroeger de VVD zat.”

This is what happens with fewer competition and the iPhone stagnating. Windows Mobile had it succeeded even marginally, Google wouldn't be doing this.

Replace Windows Mobile with Blackberry, Meego, etc... The competition doesn't need to be open, they just need to motivate Google to be open.

in reply to تحريرها كلها ممكن

The competition doesn’t need to be open, they just need to motivate Google to be open.


...but could that actually happen? I'm not sure what WOULD motivate Google to be open. Even if there were three or four more major mobile players (all with equal market share), and Google had the only platform that allowed unblessed software to be installed, I'm not sure that would pressure Google to continue to be "the open choice", but more likely to take this same action as "the odd man out".

At a fundamental level, there is an illusion/concept planted in the human mind that "force answers everything", and when they run out of ideas (or all the ideas that they have would require too much [re]work to their liking) the tendency is to fall back onto "just use force" as an easy "solution".




DC woman accused of assaulting agent during ICE encounter found not guilty


Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro failed to secure a felony indictment against the woman three times, then lost a jury trial on a misdemeanor charge. Ouch.

A Washington, D.C., woman accused of assaulting a federal agent was found not guilty by a jury on Thursday, the latest embarrassment for Jeanine Pirro, President Donald Trump's U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Prosecutors had alleged Sidney Lori Reid kicked a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent during an altercation outside the D.C. Jail in July. Reid had been filming Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers while they were detaining a man who'd just been released from the jail.

Pirro's office tried three times to indict Reid on a felony assault charge, but D.C. grand juries declined to return an indictment each time --- a highly unusual occurrence that suggested the flimsiness of the government's case.

After whiffing on the felony counts, prosecutors ended up trying Reid on a misdemeanor charge of assaulting or impeding a federal agent --- but they couldn't even win that case. The jury deliberated for less than two hours on Thursday before returning the verdict of not guilty, WUSA9 reported.



Spotify IOS Side loading


So I just figured out that Spotify has stopped letting free users pick specific songs in their own playlists. They let you do it a certain amount of times and I think that is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Not letting you pick for a searched song is one thing but in your own playlist is pushing it.

Now the only way I found out is from eveespotify. I don’t have the official Spotify just ever before it got hit and spotc++. Should I wait for spotc++ to update and remove that but also do you guys have other side loaded apps for any music software such as ytmusic or Spotify. Thanks in advance

in reply to Confining

I recommend downloading your music with soulseek and self host something like navidrome. Its super easy to do with docker. Its basically your own Spotify.
in reply to りん〜

Yes I’ve heard of it and would love to do that and when it’s possible, I will. Sadly it is not an option right now so sideloading it is

Technology X Education


So I’ve been working in the education system for grades k-12 at different schools in my district. I realized something about technology in school and decided to share my thoughts and opinions and wish to hear yours as well. Keep in mind this is only for the district I work in which is more towards the ghetto side of things and this is also my personal opinion.

So the first thing I realized is the chromebooks. They are a terrible tool for education. While I do support the use of technology for education, I do believe it can very easily be abused. For first graders and younger, I realize that they will easily click on a tab or an icon somewhere else which will bring them out of the tab they should be in. Now depending on the district and the IT team, some districts block sites and restrict certain access but others such as the one I currently work in seems to not do that at all leaving k-12 with free range of the internet. I wish there was a different OS for education (wish it was a Linux os) or if chromeos had an education section with their chrmebooks. Even something such as the lockdown browser that some colleges use would be a lot better. It feels like a gab that is waiting to be filled and I hope it’s filled by an open source and privacy respecting solution.

The other thing I realize is how the softwares they use such as iready and other learning websites lack the spark they need. A lot of kids from kindergarten to 8 complain how they hate those programs and how boring they are. I’ve heard this could be due to the short attention span of this generation but I’m not so sure. I also noticed how some don’t even consider special kids and when teachers give special kids those programs, it fails to capture their attention. Please bear in mind that this does not apply to all students and all special students but it’s a pattern I have noticed.

Like I said I wish there was a solution that is open source and maybe a Linux version of Chromebook and chrome os but that’s just the sovereignty and privacy advocate side of me. What do you guys think? Are there solutions that exists in your district? Have your district figured out using technology for education or have you experienced similar things.

US cities to resist Trump’s crackdown on dissent with No Kings protests: ‘We will not be bullied’


Second round of protests at more than 2,500 sites are set for Saturday, including in cities where Trump has sent troops

Donald Trump has promised to crack down on dissent and sent troops into US cities. His allies are claiming antifa, the decentralized antifascist movement, is behind plans to protest. He’s looking for any pretext to go after his opponents.

Still, this Saturday, even in cities with troops on the ground, millions of people are expected to march against the president as part of a second “No Kings” protest. The last No Kings protest in June drew several million people across more than 2,000 locations. This time, more than 2,500 cities and towns nationwide are hosting protests.

Organizers expect this Saturday’s protests to draw more people than the June events as the American public sees the excesses of the Trump administration more clearly.

McMahon says shutdown shows Education Department isn’t needed


Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the federal shutdown offers evidence that her agency is “unnecessary.”

In a social media post on Wednesday, McMahon said the shutdown has forced agencies to evaluate what work is really needed. She made the comment days after her department started firing hundreds of workers amid mass layoffs across the government.

“Two weeks in, millions of American students are still going to school, teachers are getting paid, and schools are operating as normal,” McMahon said.



How I got KeePassXC & Librewolf Flatpaks talking (Linux)


I'm going through a bunch of browsers at the moment to find one I'm happy with. Wanted to share how I get the KeePassXC-browser addon to work with flatpaks.

Flatpaks are sandboxed by design, so getting them to talk to each other needs a go-between. I adapted this from a Chromium guide. It works for me, hopefully maybe it'll help someone.

1. Run this command

flatpak override --user \
  --filesystem={/var/lib,xdg-data}/flatpak/{app/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC,runtime/org.kde.Platform}:ro \
  --filesystem=xdg-run/app/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC:create \
  io.gitlab.librewolf-community

2. Create a wrapper script


  • The script goes in the following location: ~/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh


\#!/bin/bash

APP_REF="org.keepassxc.KeePassXC/x86_64/stable"

for inst in "$HOME/.local/share/flatpak" "/var/lib/flatpak"; do
    if [ -d "$inst/app/$APP_REF" ]; then
        FLATPAK_INST="$inst"
        break
    fi
done
[ -z "$FLATPAK_INST" ] && exit 1

APP_PATH="$FLATPAK_INST/app/$APP_REF/active"

RUNTIME_REF=$(awk -F'=' '$1=="runtime" { print $2 }' < "$APP_PATH/metadata")
RUNTIME_PATH="$FLATPAK_INST/runtime/$RUNTIME_REF/active"

exec flatpak-spawn \
    --env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/lib \
    --app-path="$APP_PATH/files" \
    --usr-path="$RUNTIME_PATH/files" \
    -- keepassxc-proxy "$@"

  • Then run the command
    chmod +x ~/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh


3. Manually create a native messaging host file


  • It goes in the following location: ~/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json
  • Create the NativeMessagingHosts directory if it doesn't exist.
  • Substitute (USERNAME) for your username.


{  
   "allowed_extensions": [  
       "keepassxc-browser@keepassxc.org"  
   ],  
   "description": "KeePassXC integration with native messaging support",  
   "name": "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser",  
   "path": "/home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh",  
   "type": "stdio"  
}

4. Enable browser integration within KeePassXC (if it isn't already)


  • Within KeePassXC: Tools > Settings > Browser Integration, enable Firefox


5. Restart Librewolf

You may want to adjust some of those filepaths that reference ungoogled chromium instead of librewolf unless I'm missing something. Otherwise cool stuff.



🔴 Urgent Support – Suleiman’s Story


cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6451848

My name is Suleiman, I live in Gaza where life has become unbearable after all the destruction and daily suffering. I have lost so much, but I am still trying to provide my little siblings Asaad, Mohammed, and Montaha with a bit of food and safety.

Each day is harder than the one before… there isn’t enough food, medicine, or even a stable shelter. Yet, I still hold on to hope and to the humanity in your hearts.

Please help us, even with a small amount — €5 or €10 can truly make a difference in our lives. It might buy the children some bread, milk, or a small piece of chocolate that brings them a smile.

High disk read compared to seeding speed


cross-posted from: lemmy.today/post/39908979

Hi, I'm having a problem with my qBittorrent setup that I can't quite debug or find information on.

I'm seeding from a hard drive and I get something like 5-15 MBps of seeding capacity depending on the day. However I noticed upon inspecting a system monitor (I am running Debian 13) the total disk IO read was about 4x the seeding speed.

I've tweaked the advanced settings all I can to no avail. I am using the version of QBit from Devian 13 main. It's 5.Something.

Would anyone have insight on this problem? I'll take anything at this point. The application is using about 250MB of RAM.

in reply to Kairos

Don't know if this helps you but did you already try changing Disk IO Type to Simple pread/pwrite (in advanced settings)? It was meant to address some issues with disk read/write + RAM usage. Not something that affected me all that much but could be worth a look.

Was mentioned in the 5.0.1 release notes and in the github pages

qbittorrent.org/news

github.com/qbittorrent/qBittor…

Beyond that I'd echo the other comment, try to just change settings you actually need to change. Oftentimes people make a whole ton of settings changes in their torrent client and then can't figure out how to get it back to normal.

in reply to Brickfrog

This helped! Disk IO read is now a bit less than double the speed bandwidth! Much more reasonable. Thank you/😀)))))

Edit: it has now steadied out to about 1.25x the seed traffic! Amazing!

I think it's just normal, I seed from a 10gbps SSD and barely get above 7MB/s

Grande paura per Sigfrido Ranucci e la sua famiglia. Nella tarda serata di ieri, davanti all’abitazione in zona Campo Ascolano (Pomezia), un ordigno piazzato sotto l’auto del conduttore di Report è esploso, distruggendo il veicolo e danneggiando la macchina della figlia. Sul posto sono intervenuti Carabinieri, Digos, Vigili del Fuoco e Polizia Scientifica. Nessun ferito, ma la deflagrazione è stata descritta come potenzialmente letale per chiunque fosse transitato in quel momento.

Alcuni studenti fanno parte di “Giovani contro la guerra”, altri di “Opposizione studentesca d’alternativa”: il gruppo è vasto ed eterogeneo e soprattutto è nato dal basso, composto da universitari e anche da alunni delle scuole superiori.

YouTube is Broken: GN Gets Hit with More Copyright Claims


cross-posted from: piefed.ca/post/282211

in reply to recursive_recursion

One thing people need to understand is that YouTube copyright claim process is not a legal process. It can become a legal process if both sides dispute each others claims, but the actual claim system is not a legal process. As a result Google is always acting like all claims are valid even when they are most obviously bullshit simply to not piss of copyright holders and lead them to sueing YouTube for not enforcing DMCA. Once claim is disputed they will review the claim manually, but then it comes down to how much risk YouTube want to take on themselves. Most often they don't want any risk.

The whole YouTube site is built on trust that YouTube will enforce DMCA with their custom system and save everyone money by copyright holders not having to file legal claims for each DMCA case individually and them not suying YouTube in return. Without that "trust" YouTube wouldn't exist as it would have been klilled in the first years of its existance by legal fees.

US ‘on a trajectory’ toward authoritarian rule, ex-officials warn


The United States is “on a trajectory” toward authoritarian rule, according to a sobering new intelligence-style assessment by former US intelligence and national security officials, who warn that democratic backsliding is accelerating under the Trump administration – and may soon become entrenched without organized resistance.

The report, titled Accelerating Authoritarian Dynamics: Assessment of Democratic Decline, was released on Thursday by the Steady State, a network of more than 340 former officers of the CIA, the NSA, the state department and other national security agencies.

To conduct the assessment, the authors applied the same analytic methods used by US intelligence agencies to assess the fragility of democracies abroad but turned them inward for what the group called a “first-of-its-kind” analysis of domestic democratic decline.

“We wrote it because the same tools we once used to assess foreign risks now show unmistakable warning signs at home,” the group said in a statement upon its release.


It's one thing for the plebs to get bent out of shape. When you've got former spooks irritated the the ground is shifting so fast they eventually decided to just release the report while reserving the right to further updates, that's a far more serious situation.



Abuse victims still face 'disturbing' retaliation: Vatican commission


Vatican City (AFP) – Victims of clerical sex abuse still face "disturbing" retaliation from Catholic Church leaders for speaking out despite years of efforts to tackle the global scourge, a Vatican commission said Thursday.

In its second annual report, the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors set out how local Catholic churches can better help survivors, highlighting "cultural resistance" that hinders action in many countries.

The document was drawn up with the contributions of 40 victims, who shared their personal stories -- and who gave what the commission described as "disturbing accounts of retaliation" by Church leaders after they reported their abuse.

"My brother was a seminarian. The bishop told my family that my complaint could affect his ordination," one recalled.

Another described how a priest in the local church publicly declared their family excommunicated after they reported the abuse.

Yet another recounted that the local bishop said nothing for months after a case was reported, then sent representatives to persuade the victim it did not happen, "saying I was making trouble".

Others cited ongoing cases of abuse in their dioceses.

One person was "aware of other priests engaging in sexual relationships with young girls and nuns", while another said that "cases of forced abortions among religious sisters are ignored by Church authorities."

The co-director of victims' rights group BishopAccountability.org, Anne Barrett Doyle, called the victim testimony "especially sobering", adding that the Church was "still failing to prioritize" the safety of children.

"The commission is to be commended for depicting how little progress the church has made in ending abuse and cover-up," she said in a statement.

The late Pope Francis set up the commission near the beginning of his pontificate in 2014, as the Catholic Church was roiled by sexual abuse scandals around the world.

After years of criticism that it was toothless, Francis integrated the panel -- which includes religious and lay experts in the field of safeguarding -- into the government of the Holy See in 2022, and requested an annual progress report.

Thursday's report emphasised the importance of listening to survivors, offering psychological and financial support, and crucially, of acknowledging and taking public responsibility for what happened.

"The Church bears a moral and spiritual obligation to heal the deep wounds inflicted from sexual violence perpetrated, enabled, mishandled, or covered up by anyone holding a position of authority in the Church," read the 103-page report, which has been shared with Pope Leo XIV.

It added: "The damage to victims'/survivors' relationship to the Church cannot be healed without the Church taking responsibility and making reparations."

Commission President Thibault Verny told AFP that, faced with "persistent systemic shortcomings", the annual report was intended as a "tool" for use across the global Catholic Church, which counts some 1.4 billion followers.

It examined in detail almost 20 countries, and highlighted cultural resistance, taboos and silence over abuse from Malta to Ethiopia, Mozambique and Guinea.

In Italy, which has strong ties to the Vatican, the report noted a "substantial cultural resistance" in addressing abuse, while reproaching its bishops for a resistance to collaborate, as only 81 dioceses responded to the commission's survey out of a total of 226.

"It is a true cry that the victims raise: they do not feel listened to, not supported, sometimes there is no empathetic relationship, nor even respect," said Bishop Luis Manuel Ali Herrera, the commission secretary, during a press conference.

Francis, who was pope from 2013 until his death in April, took numerous measures to tackle abuse, from opening up internal documents to punishing high-ranking clergy, while making it compulsory to report suspicions of sexual assault to Church authorities.

But clergy are still not required to report abuse to civil authorities, unless a country's laws require it, while any revelations made in confession remain private.

Verny said Pope Leo "took up this issue very early on" after his election in May.

However, in an interview published in September, the US pope irritated victims' associations by insisting on the need to protect priests who were falsely accused of abuse, as well as listening to survivors.

"There may be false allegations. It must be said that they are a very, very small proportion," Verny said.
