Is there a simple GUI application alerting the user when a process is not running?
Is there a simple GUI application that will monitor running processes periodically and alert the user when a process is not running? The ones I have found are far too complex (eg Monit). I am sure this is trivial to achieve with a script, but I'd rather use a GUI.
A use case would look like this: every 60 minutes check if Syncthing is running and display a notification if it's not. In my experience, Syncthing is very reliable when it launches successfully but there may be an issue with conflicting versions that may prevent it from running at boot. Syncthing has no way to alert the GUI user when something goes wrong and you may find after you left home that your laptop hasn't synced. Checking manually is a headache, prone to errors and goes against the idea of fit and forget.

Ruby Central tries to make peace after 'hostile takeover'
Here's my attempt to explain the situation in a brief way. DHH, the creator of Ruby on Rails, wrote some things which are considered racist by some people. This caused a prominent Ruby programmer to withdraw his large sponsorship of Ruby Central, a non-profit which organises Ruby conferences, because DHH spoke at one of their conferences. Therefore Ruby Central ended up very dependent on Shopify, a large company, for funding. One theory (mentioned in the article) is that Shopify (where DHH is a board member) then pressured Ruby Central to perform a "hostile takeover" of the RubyGems GitHub organisation, where they revoked the maintainer privileges of long-time contributors. What is RubyGems? It's a website which is the de facto standard source for "gems", which are Ruby packages. I guess this is equivalent to NPM in the Node/JavaScript world.
If you want to know the potentially racist stuff said by DHH, he essentially seemed to be unhappy that London is "no longer full of native Brits". He says "native Brits" now make up "about a third" of London. So by "native Brits" he seems to mean the White British ethnic group, because they made up 37% of London in the 2021 census.
The Ruby programmer who withdrew his sponsorship of Ruby Central (allegedly worth $250,000 according to the article) said this: "I rescinded a six-figure grant because the org invited DHH, a white supremacist, to speak. We cannot tolerate hateful people as leaders in our communities."
The "hostile takeover" of RubyGems has led to some Ruby programmers to create an alternative to the RubyGems website. This alternative is gem.coop. Also there is an open letter signed by influential Ruby programmers which calls for Ruby on Rails to be forked so that DHH no longer has an association with it.
The article that this post links to is an update to the situation: Ruby Central is now taking steps to try and cool the controversy.
Thoughts on this?

Israeli air strikes hit Rafah amid repored clashes with Abu Shabab gang
Israeli fighter jets carried out air strikes on Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on Sunday, in the latest reported violation of the ceasefire.
Israel’s Channel 12 reported the strikes were intended to protect members of the Yasser Abu Shabab militia - an Israeli-backed gang accused of stealing humanitarian aid and attacking Palestinian civilians during Israel's two-year genocidal war on Gaza.
Palestinian outlet Quds Network cited an unnamed source saying a Hamas‑led internal security unit carried out an operation targeting a hideout belonging to Yasser Abu Shabab east of Rafah.

It started to stop kids vaping [pot] in school bathrooms. Then they stuck it in poor people's homes. | DEF CON Snitch Puck Talk, October 2025
A lotta vapes are reportedly chock full of lead, so kids probably shouldn't be puffing clouds in the bathroom stall, but was there any reason to design the most exploitable version of a product to alert school administrators about it?
The manufacturer was happy to expand to Section 8 (USA, subsidized) housing in spite of script kiddies, rogue employees, or legit employees working under new guidelines being able to root into the Motorola Halo 3C and use its fully-functioning microphones to invade privacy.

Students smoking where they shouldn't is a PITA to me, a librarian, because it can set off some fire alarms.
I do not appreciate needing to help a less mobile coworker down the stairs to evacuate the building. I don't like spending in the rain while we wait for the fire department to declare the "all clear".
We don't use spy pucks to tattle on students, though: we know what alarm was triggered and we know who checked out that study room. Or we know who came out of the single seat bathroom.
Edit: and generally students have been contrite when they return the study room key after the building was evacuated. Very "I didn't do it but I'll let my friends who were studying with me know...." and we've not had repeat offenders. Tbh, they're [young] adults so as long as no one is hurt and I don't hear about it I'm cool with it.

La volontà di cambiare. Mascolinità e amore
bell hooks

Un testo cruciale che affronta il paradosso della lotta femminista: come coinvolgere gli uomini nel loro processo di liberazione emotiva dal patriarcato. bell hooks svela il prezzo del potere maschile – la disconnessione dall’amore e da sé – e offre un potente antidoto basato sull’autostima sana e sulla vulnerabilità come vera forza.
bell hooks non si smentisce mai. La caratteristica di bell hooks è la capacità di integrare l’indignazione, la rabbia, gli stati di ingustizia, alchemizzarli, e sintetizzarli in una pratica di liberazione fondata sull’amore nel senso più concreto del termine.
La volontà di cambiare affronta uno dei punti ciechi di gran parte del pensiero e della letteratura femminista, ossia: la realtà del cambiamento emotivo maschile nel superamento di un sistema di relazioni patriarcale. Il femminismo, bell hooks ci dice, ha creato forze essenziali di denuncia, rivendicazione e cambiamento, e spazi di supporto per la liberazione femminile. Quello che ha faticato, e fatica tuttora a creare, è lo spazio per il processo di cambiamento dell’identità maschile, che paradossalmente è il suo obiettivo principale. Trovo che 20 anni dopo, pur con cambiamenti, questo paradosso resti ancora attuale.
La liberazione dal patriarcato, bell hooks ci dice, deve necessariamente essere un processo di liberazione anche per gli uomini. Il prezzo di appartenenza al patriarcato, il prezzo dei suoi (molto reali) vantaggi di potere, è per gli uomini una rottura nel rapporto con se stessi, la possibilità di amare e ricevere amore, e di vivere in relazione. È questa negazione, bell hooks ci dice, che sta alla radice di gran parte della rabbia e violenza maschile che è così endemica nella nostra società. Il patriarcato grantisce immunità in questa espressione perversa del bisogno di connessione e autostima, mentre con l’altra mano punisce le sue espressioni più autentiche.
L’antidoto alla logica della dominazione, bell hooks ci dice, oltre e al di là della lotta rivendicativa, è quindi che ci sia la possibilità culturale e relazionale di sviluppare un’autostima sana, per gli uomini che cercano, più o meno consciamente, di liberarsi dal terrore patriarcale della vulnerabilità (e dalla conseguente falsa equazione di forza con invulnerabilità). Questa liberazione a sua volta diventa una liberazione dai meccanismi comportamentali patriarcali di soddisfazione surrogata del bisogno umano di connessione, come il sesso oggettificato, il lavoro come unica fonte di autostima, la disconnessione relazionale attraverso la divisione del lavoro domestico, la prevaricazione, l’uso del femminile per la propria sublimazione emotiva, le dipendenze, la disconnessione dalla propria capacità di creare, sentire, curarsi di se stessi. Bell hooks non lo menziona, ma generalmente parlando, tra le persone cisgenere neurotipiche si stima che a livello globale gli uomini si tolgano la vita circa 1.8 volte più spesso delle donne. Questo fatto, di suo, è un sintomo del patriarcato, ma anche del vuoto di supporto per gli uomini che ne hanno bisogno.
Parte di questo processo, per il lato femminile, è a sua volta liberarsi dal dogma patriarcale dell’invulnerabilità maschile, e sviluppare la capacità di accogliere l’espressione emotiva maschile, pur senza ricadere in asimmetrie relazionali patriarcali. Ancora una volta, bell hooks fa luce sulle contraddizioni tra il livello politico e il livello emotivo che ancora spesso persistono nel femminismo: spesso il messaggio per gli uomini diventa, “cambia, ma arrangiati”, o “cambia, ma resta l’uomo forte, invulnerabile e indipendente”, o “cambia, ma senza spazi di supporto collettivo”. Per le donne, accettare la possibilità questo cambiamento, ci dice bell hooks, è anche potenzialmente dover ammettere la ferita lasciata da un bisogno di amare ed essere amate dagli uomini, che il patriarcato ha deluso.
Questo libro apre molte possibilità di riflessione, tra cui, per esempio, come coniugare la necessità di supporto emotivo maschile con la necessità di parità emotiva nelle relazioni, l’esplorazione del ruolo dell’omofobia nel mantenimento dell’identità maschile patriarcale, ed esempi attuali di mascolinità non patriarcali, ad esempio nella comunità transgenere, o in altri contesti. Resta un libro eccellente che articola realtà e possibilità emotive che permettono di vedere oltre la critica politica per sviluppare una visione concreta di un mondo alternativo.
bell hooks
bell hooks (Gloria Jean Watkins, 1952-2021) è stata una delle voci più influenti della critica culturale e del femminismo radicale. Scrittrice prolifica, attivista e accademica, il suo lavoro ha analizzato in profondità le intersezioni tra razza, classe e genere. La sua teoria si fonda sull’etica dell’amore e della comunità come pratica di liberazione e resistenza al sistema di dominazione, rendendola una figura fondamentale non solo per il pensiero femminista, ma per l’attivismo sociale globale.

‘No Kings’ protests pass in festival atmosphere as nearly 7 million rally across US
‘Hey hey! Ho ho! Donald Trump has got to go!’ protesters across the country chanted
Nearly 7 million demonstrators in small towns and cities across the country showed up for No Kings protests to rally against Donald Trump’s presidency, according to organizers.
The president declared he was “not a king” on Fox News Friday, but that didn’t stop millions of rally-goers in more than 2,500 locations across the United States from protesting the second Trump administration.
Saturday’s event marked the third mass mobilization since Trump reclaimed the White House — and one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history, surpassing the more than 5 million demonstrators who turned up to the first iteration of “No Kings” protests in June, organizers said.

New footage exposes Israeli support for anti-Hamas terrorist groups in Gaza: Report
Two new videos have revealed that the Israeli military is actively supporting anti-Hamas terrorist groups in Gaza with weapons and provisions, according to a report.
The videos, recorded earlier this month and authenticated by Sky News, capture a nighttime convoy of pickup trucks transporting supplies from the direction of an Israeli military base to militia-controlled areas in northern Gaza.
The footage places the convoy about 1.4 kilometers inside Israeli-controlled territory near the Erez border crossing, an area where, according to official data, no humanitarian aid has passed since February.
The vehicles, carrying fuel, water, and food, move through devastated streets before arriving at an abandoned school identified as the headquarters of the so-called People’s Army, led by Ashraf al-Mansi.
Al-Mansi recently released a video warning Hamas against entering areas under his control, saying his group is one of four anti-Hamas militias operating inside Gaza, all within zones still monitored by Israel.
Sky News had previously reported that Israel facilitated the supply of weapons, vehicles, cash, and food to another faction, the so-called Popular Forces, led by Yasser Abu Shabab in southern Gaza.
The new evidence strongly suggests that Israel is now extending the same support to northern factions, flagrantly undermining the ceasefire agreement reached with Hamas on October 9.
The two videos, uploaded by a member of al-Mansi’s group on October 9 and 11, show convoys following the same route from a location less than 400 meters from an Israeli military base.
Although the footage does not show the loading of supplies, several containers on the trucks display the SOS Energy logo, an Israeli fuel supplier.
Neither the Israeli military nor representatives of the so-called People’s Army responded to Sky News’ requests for comment.
Israel’s support for Gaza-based terrorist groups continues as Hamas strives to restore order in the region following the ceasefire.
On Thursday, the Israeli news outlet Mako reported that Hamas had seized 45 pickup trucks, large sums of cash, and hundreds of weapons from Israeli-backed terrorist militias, citing unnamed sources within the Israeli military.

The Mamdani Method: Five lessons to anchor a Democratic Party adrift at sea
What Mamdani is really testing is whether Democrats can still generate attention through conflict on their own terms. The modern political media landscape only amplifies what bleeds—culture wars, celebrity-like feuds—while ignoring the conflicts that actually define people’s lives: rent that keeps rising, child care that drains a paycheck, transit that doesn’t come. Most Democrats, wary of being cast as divisive, retreat from confrontation altogether or get pulled into the wrong fights.Mamdani understands that attention is produced through conflict, and that the answer is not to avoid it but to redirect it. He builds it around affordability—who pays, who benefits, and how power works—making economic struggle visible and emotionally legible. For him, conflict isn’t a distraction from governing; it’s the entry point for persuasion. The goal is not to perform anger but to focus it, to remind people that politics can still change the price of the things that govern their days.
Mamdani’s appeal has little to do with just his youthful vibe. It lies in his answer to two questions the party keeps ducking. Can a Democrat hold attention without turning into a caricature? And once attention is captured, can it be used to make politics legible as a system that changes what people pay and how they live? His method blends traditions that rarely coexist: Sanders’s moral clarity, Ocasio-Cortez’s digital and movement cadence, the “abundance” instinct to build and unblock, the grounded competence of effective executives, and the narrative craft of cultural workers who know how to reach an audience. The point is not style for its own sake. It is persuasion as craft—showing that Democrats can hold the stage on the economy again, speak plainly about power, and still mean what they say.

Ecco Citiverse, la città dei social liberi!
Dalla collaborazione tra Le Alternative e poliverso nasce Citiverse!
Da diverso tempo io e Poliverso abbiamo iniziato a sperimentare su NodeBB con l'ambizione di creare un'alternativa federata ai gruppi Facebook, soprattutto quelli locali.
Per chi lo visita direttamente dal sito, Citiverse è un Forum; ma per chi lo usa dal Fediverso, Citiverse è un'istanza qualsiasi, con le "categorie" del Forum che diventano "gruppi Activitypub", come le comunità Lemmy.
Per gli utenti Lemmy poi la questione è ancora più facile: le categorie NodeBB sono indistinguibili dalle comunità Lemmy!
Al momento abbiamo creato una settantina di comunità, suddivise per macrocategorie.
Volete visualizzarle dal vostro account Lemmy? Eccole qua:

Privacy-Friendly Security Cameras Recs
Hello all, I'm in the market for a privacy-respecting security doorbell camera and a wide view camera with the following features: (not all of them are required, however)
-Motion detection
-Decent sized local storage*( I saw one that came with a 2TB drive but I don't think they had a cloud storage)
-Cloud storage* (no subscriptions would be great)
I briefly looked at the r/privacy and a lot of recommendations have third parties like Amazon web services for their cloud storage which I don't feel very comfortable with. I'm looking forward to hearing about the products you guys swear by.
Thanks.

Some of the UniFi cameras are amazingly expensive though, $500 for an outdoor 4K camera is hard to swallow. But if you can swing it, you will not regret the investment.
I already have other UniFi gear for networking and it was natural to add cameras to the system.
Apparently UniFi Protect works with 3rd party cameras if they support ONVIF but I don’t know of any yet.

From 2028: EU expands USB-C mandate to chargers
The European Commission has revised the Ecodesign requirements for external power supplies (EPS). The new rules aim to increase consumer convenience, resource efficiency, and energy efficiency. Manufacturers have three years to prepare for the changes.The new regulations apply to external power supplies that charge or power devices such as laptops, smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, and computer monitors. Starting in 2028, these products must meet higher energy efficiency standards and become more interoperable. Specifically, USB chargers on the EU market must have at least one USB Type-C port and function with detachable cables.
With the regulation, the EU is also establishing minimum requirements for the efficiency of power supplies with an output power of up to 240 watts that charge via USB Power Delivery (USB-PD), among other things, under other things, minimum requirements. Power supplies with an output power exceeding 10 watts will also have to meet minimum energy efficiency values in partial load operation (10 percent of rated power) in the future, which is intended to reduce unnecessary energy losses.
Interestingly,
This article was originally published in German. It was translated with technical assistance and editorially reviewed before publication.
I was rather surprised to see a Heise story linked off Slashdot, but this is a great use of technology to broaden the audience. Way less friction than every user needing a browser plugin for translation.
Historically, the charger situation has been, well, a shitshow. I've had more than a few devices over the years where the proprietary cable died, and getting a replacement was so cost prohibitive that just buying a replacement device that came with one was the more logical move.
USB-PD kinda seems like the silver bullet here. Though I'm not sure that's true unless further regulations require all USB-C cables to be able to provide 240W, and even then, there will be a long tail on older cables still being in use.
But this could be game changing in like a decade. Imagine charging with any cable and any DC converter. We'll look back on this mess as though different devices required proprietary wall outlets!
Meanwhile, here in the states, regulators are much more concerned about inflatable frog suits than any lurch toward sustainability.

Netanyahu refuses to open Rafah crossing – violating the ceasefire agreement
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/85705
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday 18 October that he had decided to keep the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt closed until further notice, despite the Palestinian embassy in Cairo’s earlier announcement that the crossing would open on Monday.
Rafah Crossing remains closed by Israel
Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that the opening of the crossing would be linked to ‘Hamas’s commitment to its role’ in handing over the bodies of Israeli detainees in Gaza, as well as ‘the implementation of the agreed framework,’ without providing further details. As the Canary previously reported, Hamas handing over Israeli bodies was not part of the ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, Israel has so-far violated this 47 times itself.For its part, the government media office in Gaza accused Israel of obstructing the implementation of the terms of the ceasefire agreement, continuing to close the crossings and preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid, calling on the international guarantors of the agreement to intervene immediately to ensure that the commitments are implemented.
Adnan Abu Hasna, spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), pointed out that thousands of trucks loaded with humanitarian aid are still waiting for permission to enter the Gaza Strip, saying:
There are about 6,000 trucks carrying food and basic supplies stuck at the crossings, in addition to large quantities of medicines and medical supplies waiting to be brought in to meet the emergency needs of the population.Abu Hasna added that the delay in opening the crossings is exacerbating the humanitarian situation in the Strip and threatening the lives of thousands of civilians, especially the sick and injured who need urgent care.
The Palestinian Embassy in Cairo announced that the Rafah crossing would be opened on Monday to allow Palestinians residing in Egypt who wish to return to Gaza to register via a dedicated electronic application, and that they would be notified later of the times and places to gather to move towards the crossing.
Breaching the ceasefire
It is noteworthy that on 9 October, Israel and Hamas reached an agreement on a ceasefire and prisoner exchange in accordance with US President Donald Trump’s plan, and the first phase of the agreement was activated the following day. The agreement stipulates that all Gaza Strip crossings, especially Rafah, will be opened to the movement of individuals and humanitarian aid, with the participation of Qatar, Turkey and Egypt, and under US supervision.This comes after two years of genocide waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023, with US support, resulting in the martyrdom of 68,116 Palestinians, the injury of 170,200 others, and the destruction of more than 90% of the infrastructure in the Strip.

Democrats Have Let Republicans Become the “Peace” Party
Trump has succeeded where Biden failed in bringing some measure of peace to the region. The risk to Democrats is not so much that Trump will woo more Democratic constituents to the Republican Party — Trump’s authoritarian tendencies at home and his vile persecution of all perceived political enemies largely foreclose that possibility. The risk, rather, is that Americans who care about peacemaking abroad will find themselves increasingly alienated from both parties. Trump’s successful diplomatic efforts have put the lie to the idea that there was nothing Biden and the Democrats could have done to end the massacre in Gaza, seriously undermining any claim that Democrats might make as the party of peace.
Some Democrats seem to understand what a dire bind the party has put itself in. Representative Ro Khanna, for example, recently sounded the alarm about Democrats ceding the “anti-war” mantle to Republicans and Trump. Others, like Representative Delia Ramirez, have put this opposition to war-making into legislation, authoring the aforementioned Block the Bombs Act.
But, for the Democrats to truly turn the ship around, many more elected representatives will have to follow in the footsteps of Khanna and Ramirez. If the party cannot quickly change its tune on war and peace, it may risk ceding this policy terrain to the Republican Party well into the future.

What we know about the torture, abuse of Palestinian prisoners by zionists
Most of the bodies of the more than 100 dead Palestinians Israel released remain unidentified.
They were sent back to Gaza with numbers instead of their names, leaving family members of missing Palestinians to pore desperately through pictures of the bodies, hoping to spot their loved ones.
One thing is clear from the marks left on these bodies, and the blindfolds and handcuffs still on some of them: They had been tortured before their deaths, possibly executed.

Disk has read errors but SMART says PASSED
cross-posted from: swg-empire.de/post/4845931
I've had multiple reads fail on a fairly new drive.I did a
smartctl -t long /dev/sdb
but after checking back a few minutes latersmartctl -a /dev/sdb
showed that no tests were running and that the previous test had "the read element of the test failed".I did
smartctl -t offline /dev/sdb
next and after that was donesmartctl -x /dev/sdb
showed about 1500 errors but it also reported SMART as PASSED.Here is the output of
smartctl -x /dev/sdb
: pastebin.com/09rNZZfDHow should I interpret these results? Was my assumption that the long test was done wrong? Should I replace the drive? Or might something else be wrong, like the SATA connection?

A friend of mine was in a similar-ish circumstance.
He was using a 18TB Helium HDD with an external SATA to USB converter (with a power brick)
While writing data to it, it would randomly freeze mid-transfer.
It wouldn't properly disconnect from the operating system either, it would just randomly freeze mid-transfer, and resume automatically. And the same freeze would happen while reading as well.
This issue disappeared when I told him to use a real PC with a proper PSU.
Before you replace the drive,
1. try changing the SATA cable.
2. If that doesn't fix it, if you're using a daisy chained SATA power cable, make sure to connect your HDD to the first hop(from the PSU) of that cable, and disconnect any devices being powered by the rest of the chain. The first hop is electrically most stable.
3. And if that doesn't fix it, try changing the SATA power cable.
4. And if that doesn't fix it, and if you're using a modular PSU, try connecting your SATA power cable to a different SATA power port on your PSU.
5. And if that doesn't fix it, try connecting it to a different "known working" PC, and redo steps 1-4 as needed.
If all of these fail, then yeah, replace the drive.
try changing the SATA cable.
This is actually a good point. I had this exact issue quite recently and overlooked it at first, even throwing away a drive and replacing it for the exact same error to re-appear with a second one.
Quick and easy to do, good suggestion.
Czym jest EndOf10?
14 października 2025 roku Microsoft oficjalnie zakończył wsparcie techniczne dla systemu Windows 10. Oznacza to brak dalszych aktualizacji bezpieczeństwa, co naraża użytkowników na wirusy, złośliwe oprogramowanie i inne zagrożenia. Ewentualne wydłużenie wsparcia o rok wymaga specjalnego uwierzytelnienia kontem Microsoft — co wiąże się z przekazaniem firmie swoich danych osobowych — lub uiszczenia dodatkowej opłaty. Jednocześnie użytkownicy są zachęcani do przesiadki na Windows 11, który nie tylko posiada dużo wyższe wymagania sprzętowe (znaczna część starszych komputerów nie jest z nim zgodna), ale też stosuje rozbudowaną telemetrię, profilowanie reklam czy obowiązek logowania się do konta Microsoft, co istotnie ogranicza prywatność i wolność użytkowników.
Czym jest Linux Presentation Day – Edycja EndOf10?
W odpowiedzi na koniec wsparcia Windows 10 oraz rosnące ograniczenia narzucane przez komercyjne oprogramowanie, powstała inicjatywa Linux Presentation Day – Edycja EndOf10. To ogólnopolska akcja promująca otwarte, bezpieczne i darmowe systemy operacyjne z rodziny GNU/Linux. Podczas spotkań organizowanych w wielu miastach w Polsce uczestnicy mogą dowiedzieć się, czym jest Linux, jak działa i jak łatwo można go zainstalować na własnym komputerze. Na miejscu dostępni będą doświadczeni użytkownicy i wolontariusze, którzy pomogą w instalacji systemu, przeniesieniu danych oraz udzielą praktycznych porad dotyczących codziennego korzystania z Linuksa. To doskonała okazja, by uniezależnić się od komercyjnych platform i odkryć wolne oprogramowanie jako realną, bezpieczną alternatywę.
Weź swojego laptopa i przyjdź do nas!
Wpadnij do nas w poniedziałek, 20 października 2025 w godzinach 18:00-21:00 do Warszawskiego Hakerspejsu (ul. Żelazna 103A). Podczas spotkania poznasz podstawy obsługi Linuxa oraz dowiesz się, czym jest wolne oprogramowanie (free software). Jeśli chcesz wypróbować i/lub zainstalować Linuxa na własnym sprzęcie, zrób w domu kopię zapasową swoich ważnych danych i weź swojego laptopa na to wydarzenie – nasi członkowie pomogą ci wybrać odpowiednią dystrybucję oraz skonfigurują system pod Twoje potrzeby.
