Salis, ex atleta e dirigente sportiva, ora è alle prese con la sfida più significativa e difficile: con la politica, alla guida di un’istituzione importante come è il Comune. Sono passati solo pochi mesi da quando è entrata a Palazzo Tursi, il nobile, elegante, palazzo simbolo di Genova politica. Pochi per giudicare una persona, eppure sono bastati per far nascere un “caso Salis”, avvincente come un giallo d’autore. E siamo solo agli inizi.

My Privacy Setup v2


It's been a while since I made this post, so I think it's time for an update.

Items in italics are subsequent additions.

Remember these rules:


  • Be respectful! Some people are early on in their privacy journey, or have a lax threat model. Just because it doesn't align with yours, or uses some anti-privacy software, doesn't mean you can downvote them! Help them improve by giving suggestions on alternatives.
  • Don't promote proprietary software! Proprietary software, no matter how good it may seem, is against the community rules, and generally frowned upon. If you aren't sure, you can always ask! This is a place to learn. Don't downvote people just because they don't know!
  • Don't focus solely on me! Since this happened in one of @Charger8232@lemmy.ml's posts, I want to mention that this thread is not designed to pick apart only my setup. The point is to contribute your own and help others. That doesn't mean you can't still give suggestions for mine, but don't prioritize mine over another.
  • Be polite! This falls under "Be respectful", but be kind to everyone! Say please, thank you, and sorry. Lemmy is really good about this, but there will always be someone.


Here is my setup:


Web browsing

  • I use Mullvad Browser for general browsing, with uBlock Origin and NoScript.
  • I use FoxyProxy to route my connection over Tor or I2P when accessing a hidden service or eepsite.
  • I use Librewolf for general browsing on on my Raspberry Pi, as Mullvad has not yet been ported to aarch64.
  • I use a self-hosted SearXNG instance for web searches, though it isn't quite as reliable as MetaGer used to be.
  • I use Mullvad VPN at all times.
    • I only use their owned servers; not their rented ones.
    • I usually enable multihop, but it does cause issues.
    • I use their Shadowsocks proxy to connect while on eduroam.


  • I use NextDNS and Mullvad DNS interchangeably for extra content blocking.
  • I use Libredirect and UntrackMe to redirect me to alternative frontends for popular services (e.g. YouTube -> Invidious)
  • I use Vivaldi for society stuff, where the stupid web apps don't play nice with adblockers.

Desktop

  • I use several trusted Linux distributions on my PCs; currently:
    • Arch Linux
    • Debian
    • Raspbian
    • Alpine (pending installation)
    • Slackware


  • Apart from my Raspberry Pi, the UEFI/BIOS is password-protected on all of my machines.
  • I have enabled secure boot on my ThinkPad T480s (the only device I own that supports it).
  • I always carry a Tails USB, but I haven't yet had cause to use it.
  • I use full disk encryption (LUKS) on everything, and I have a VeraCrypted pen drive for special cases.
  • I cover most of my webcams with Blu-Tac or electrical tape.
    • My ThinkPad T480s supports disabling the webcams and microphone in the UEFI.
    • I trust the security in GrapheneOS enough not to to this on my phone, which would be inconvenient (although a case with camera covers would be nice once my Otterbox wears out).


Mobile

  • I use a Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS.
  • Again, I am always connected to Mullvad VPN.
  • I currently use Cromite, but I often switch between several private options. Suggestions with reasoning are most welcome.
    • Cromite is hardened according to PrivacyGuides.


  • I have Tor Browser installed, for when I need more protection or if I need to access a .onion
  • My passcode is simply the longest string of digits I can remember.
    • I used to use an alphanumeric passphrase, but it became rather inconvenient when I disabled biometric unlock.


  • Radios (i.e. WiFi, Bluetooth) are automatically disabled when they are not in use.

Messaging

  • I have managed to get my family and a few friends to use Signal, and I have one friend who I speak to over Tox (I am aware of why this isn't the most secure; he's had difficulty with other options)
  • I am forced to use Discord, sadly, as all three of my societies use it as their only form of communication (other than social media), as do several societies from other universities and as does one of my close friends.
  • With the exceptions of my grandma and my old high school group chat, I no-longer use WhatsApp.
  • Now that I'm out of student accommodation, I have been able to delete Snapchat (my old flatmates insisted on using it for the flat group chat). Good riddance.

Online accounts

  • I use KeePass to manage my passwords, which are synchronised between devices using Syncthing.
    • KeePassXC is the client I use on desktop.
    • On Android, I use KeePassDX.


  • I use Aegis and OTPClient to generate TOTPs. I also have a graphing calculator that can generate these, but it doesn't seem to work very well these days.
  • I have anonymised all of my social media accounts apart from my LinkedIn (I wish I didn't have this in the first place; something something capitalism) and an old Mastodon account I lost access to.

Video streaming

  • I use Invidious, yt-dlp, and mpv to watch YouTube videos.
  • I use PeerTube when possible (mainly to watch Veronica Explains, New Ellijay TV, Techlore, and The Linux Experiment).

AI

  • I played around with ChatGPT and DALL-E in the early '20s, but those days are behind me now.
  • I occasionally use Duck.ai for help with server stuff, but only when I'm desperate and out of options.

Social Media

  • The only non-FOSS social media I use is Tumblr, which is ranked B by ToS;DR.
  • I have a LinkedIn, but I don't really use it.
  • I am the media officer for one of my societies, but I have all of those nasty proprietary apps in a separate profile.

Email

  • I use Posteo as my main provider.
  • I have DuckDuckGo Email Protection as an alias service, which I use through Quacky.
  • I use my uni email (Outlook 365) and my society email (Gmail) through privacy-respecting clients; namely Evolution, KMail (if I'm running KDE), and FairEmail.

Shopping/Finance

  • I rarely make online purchases. I am certainly being tracked, but I'm simply not producing enough data in the first place for this to be a big problem.
  • For physical purchases, I am trying to use cash more often, but it makes my budget harder to manage.
  • The only recurring payment I make is to OVH, who provide my VPS and are known to be one of the better hosting providers from a privacy standpoint (though I imagine not the best).
  • I would use Monero for things like Mullvad, but I've had a hard time acquiring any.
  • I have joined several loyalty schemes, but I rarely use them as I shop at Aldi (specifically Aldi Süd), which doesn't have one.
    • The data collected by supermarkets when I use my loyalty cards is, in my opinion, a fair trade. They get some analytics, and I get discounted products. I am comfortable with this.


Music

  • I occasionally stream music on Bandcamp, but virtually everything I listen to is either on CD or a local file.
  • I occasionally use an MP3 stream to listen to KERRANG! Radio, Radio 4, Classic FM (for DanTDM's show), or my university's student radio station.
  • I give Last.fm my listening data intentionally.

TV shows

  • I use DVDs for most of my viewing, but I have sailed the high seas in the past
  • Some shows I enjoy (i.e. Helluva Boss) are released officially for free on YouTube (watched via Invidious).
  • My flat does have a smart TV, but its one of the older ones (sans bullshit) and not connected to the internet.
  • One of my flatmates is trying to set up a media server, which is nice.

Gaming

  • I generally don't game.
  • When playing Minecraft, I use PrismLauncher and I'm always sure to install the Anti-Telemetry mod.

Programming

  • I code using Micro. I also sometimes use Kate, but only if I'm running Plasma.
  • I use sourcehut and Codeberg to host my projects.

Productivity

  • I normally just use Markdown for note-taking and documents.
  • Next time I make a presentation, I will probably use Markdown slides (LibreOffice Impress isn't great, in my experience).
  • Spreadsheets are edited with LibreOffice Calc, but I tend to just use a text editor to write a CSV or TSV unless I need formulae.
  • One of my societies uses Trello and Google Docs for their stuff. However, I use these in their own profile on my phone, and in their own browser on desktop.
  • If there's anything really sensitive or really private I need to write, I just use a pen and paper. I also own a typewriter.

Misc

  • I use FreshRSS for news.
    • I use Capy Reader on my phone and Newsboat on desktop.


  • My local timezone just happens to be the same as UTC most of the time.
  • I use a non-smart, analogue watch (RIP PineTime).
  • I don't have a car, as I'm skint.
  • I use Bluetooth earbuds out of necessity. I'm still salty about Apple removing the headphone jack and then every other phone company (in this case, Google) following suit. However, they are basic earbuds which do not require an app, and so they should be more private than other similar models.
  • I will never use Amazon Echo or Google Home.


To-Do


  • Use cash more often
  • Try to get family to ditch Meta
  • Get grandparents to use Signal
  • Audit all systems with Lynis
  • Selectively clear cookies and site data every so often in Vivaldi (automate, if possible)

Thanks for reading!

PieFed Email Error


Hello!

I wanted to move away from Reddit and started with a Lemmy instance for a few days. But, I kept on bumping into these mentions about PieFed and got curious. I figured since I just started, no harm in just spinning up PieFed. That, and once I saw Voyager was able to work with PieFed, it just seemed like a no brainer.

I'm so very impressed, I'm just exploring everything, checking out settings, and adding new communities.

That said I probably did something wrong in the process. I input the settings for email in .env.docker. As soon as I did, error emails arrived in batches of 5-8 at a time. I tried making sense of it myself, but I got stuck. Would anyone kindly take a look and point me in the right direction?

As soon as federation starts there is all kinds of weird JSON that arrives from different software, so errors start happening. Most of them are not serious.

Are you following PeerTube channels? Afaik PeerTube is the one most likely to trigger the JSON-LD-based signature validation.

in reply to Rimu

Thank you everyone, for your replies and tips!!

I haven't followed PeerTube channels directly from PieFed - yet.

After just under 24 hours up, so far everything seems to be working just as wjs018 says.

Thanks Rimu for the Sentry tip.

I think I'll just not set the email for errors so as to avoid the logs being sent out.

in reply to pathwonder

If you want a more manageable way to deal with error reports, get a free account with sentry.io, create a project within sentry and then put the DSN from the project into the SENTRY_DSN environment variable.


Can anyone tell me if this sounds realistic or if it's CEO hype?


Sounds interesting, and I get much of what he said, but I'm not qualified to judge. Sounds great, and not just for AI, though that seems the company's focus. Thoughts?

Platner's Campaign Marches On Despite Intense Hit Pieces | Majority Report




Satellite data shows methane emissions are declining in part of Canada’s oil patch, but more monitoring is needed


Authors:

  • Chris Hugenholtz | Professor, Geography, University of Calgary
  • Coleman Vollrath | PhD Candidate in Physical Geography, University of Calgary
  • Thomas Barchyn | Researcher, Geography, University of Calgary
  • Zhenyu Xing | Postdoctoral Associate, University of Calgary


Governments in Canada’s major oil and gas producing provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, have touted their efforts in recent years to reduce methane emissions.

Methane is a greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere at oil and gas facilities through leaks, vents, maintenance activities and incomplete combustion. Methane traps significantly more heat than carbon dioxide, making it a potent climate pollutant.

We set out to independently verify if government claims of decreasing oil and gas methane emissions were accurate. Our new study shows that the answer is yes — but with important caveats and valuable lessons for Canada’s energy sector.

We studied satellite observations between 2019 and 2023 to understand how methane emissions rates in Canada’s main oil-producing region were changing. We focused on the heavy oil belt near Lloydminster, Alta., where a distinctive extraction method known as CHOPS (cold heavy oil production with sand) has long been associated with notable methane emissions.

CHOPS brings a mix of oil, water, sand and gas to the surface. The oil is collected, but the co-produced gas — which is mainly methane — has historically been vented or flared.





The Rise of Licensed IPTV in 2025: Why Viewers Are Switching to Legal Streaming


Over the last few years, IPTV has grown from a niche technology into one of the main ways people watch live television.
But 2025 marks a turning point — the rise of licensed IPTV platforms that provide legal, stable, and high-quality viewing experiences.

Here’s why more users are moving to legitimate providers:

📺 Legality & Safety — Licensed IPTV services operate under verified broadcast agreements, giving users peace of mind.
Consistent Quality — No channel drops, no sudden shutdowns, and full HD streams.
🌍 Multi-Device Access — Works seamlessly on Smart TVs, Firestick, Android, iPhone, and web browsers.
🔒 Data Protection — Transparent payment gateways and no hidden data collection.

If you’re looking for a reliable, fully licensed provider in the US, Canada, or Europe,
👉 Legal IPTV Provider USA offers a verified IPTV service with legal authorization and a large range of premium channels.

Always choose licensed IPTV — it supports creators, ensures long-term stability, and delivers the best viewing experience without risk.

Voter turnout exceeds expectations in California's Prop. 50 special election


Early voter turnout is exceeding expectations in California’s Nov. 4 special election over redrawing the state’s congressional districts, a Democratic-led effort to counter Republican attempts to keep Congress under GOP control.

“We’re seeing some pretty extraordinary numbers of early votes that have already been cast, people sending back in their ballots,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a livestream with former President Obama on Wednesday.

More than 3.4 million mail ballots have been returned as of Wednesday, with votes from Democrats outpacing ballots from Republicans and Californians registered as not having a party preference, according to a ballot tracker run by Democratic strategist Paul Mitchell. Mitchell is deeply involved in the Democratic effort, and drafted the proposed congressional districts on the Nov. 4 special election ballot.

Noi del Rione Sanità, anticipazioni seconda puntata di giovedì 30 ottobre 2025: la violenza riesplode, Massimo nella rete di Mariano


Prosegue su Rai 1 il racconto di Noi del Rione Sanità, la serie di Luca Miniero con Carmine Recano nei panni di Don Giuseppe Santoro. Dopo l’esordio all’insegna del coraggio civile, la seconda puntata alza la posta: il progetto teatrale prende forma tra entusiasmi e fratture, mentre nel quartiere torna a farsi sentire la violenza. Il carisma del boss Mariano diventa una minaccia concreta per i più giovani, a partire da Massimo, che scivola nel suo raggio d’influenza.

Is there any incompatibility between NodeBB and Mobilizon?


Good evening everyone. Mobilizon is an interesting alternative to EventBrite developed by the French collective Framasoft. I recently noticed that NodeBB can't see #Mobilizon events. Of course, I didn't expect NodeBB to be able to see and manage events

Good evening everyone.
Mobilizon is an interesting alternative to EventBrite developed by the French collective Framasoft.
I recently noticed that NodeBB can't see #Mobilizon events.
Of course, I didn't expect NodeBB to be able to see and manage events (mark them as accepted, rejected, or "unclear"), like Friendica, for example.
Mastodon, however, while it can't "manage" events, can view them and allows you to follow the users who publish them.

I've noticed that NodeBB can't see Friendica events either, nor those produced by the federated platform "Gancio."

Can anyone explain to me what could be causing this incompatibility? Is it a "protection" feature of NodeBB, or a problem with the format in which #ActivityPub events are published?

Have a good evening, and thanks in advance.

Re: Is there any incompatibility between NodeBB and Mobilizon?


Hello again informapirata!

It depends what kind of activity they send over. Most likely we just haven't cleared it for processing by NodeBB.

Any object type that we don't recognize we ignore for now, but there's no reason we can't look into it and clear it 🙂

Re: Is there any incompatibility between NodeBB and Mobilizon?


Thanks for your reply, julian

For what it's worth, I agree with this approach.
Mobilizon events are certainly one of the most interesting implementations of the Fediverse and are extremely important for offering a user experience that can do without Facebook, just as the evolution of federated NodeBB represents a significant step forward in creating an alternative to Facebook groups (we're trying to do this in Italy with citiverse.it...).

However, some of Mobilizon's limitations (Mobilizon events are one-way: they're visible from the Fediverse and can even be managed with Friendica, but—for example—it's not yet possible to create a Mobilizon event from Friendica) and the critical issues in managing events for "generalist" platforms (I recall the problems, later resolved, that Friendica had with uncontrolled event sharing: all it took was for an account to follow an event account and all its followers would find it in their calendars... :confounded: ) make it appropriate to think very carefully and cautiously about the integration roadmap.

For the rest, thank you for your promptness and willingness to respond to users who ask for clarification!

Best regards,
Francesco

Yeah. And there is that 20-30 million that DID NOT vote for Harris '24, but voted D in 2020. Those Dems are 100% responsible for the next 4+ years. Yeah, 4+. the dems have still not learned to fight or how-to fight. Fuck the Ds and double fuck the GQP. It's time for something new.

a natural gas power plant in Illinois that intends to capture the majority of its carbon emissions.


Ah, so similar to "clean coal"...

Carbon dioxide from Google’s power plant will be injected into the same geological storage formations already used by ADM’s ethanol facility. The site is the location of the first long-term CO2 storage well in the U.S.

Typically, around 2,000 metric tons of CO2 are sent into the well every day. But injections there were halted in 2024 when salty brine, which stores dissolved CO2 deep underground, was found to have migrated into “unauthorized zones,” according to the EPA. ADM said the leak was the result of corrosion at a monitoring well, E&E News reported, and they’ve since resumed injections.

A recent study of 13 CCS facilities representing 55% of all captured carbon shows that most aren’t living up to expectations.



Why some populist supporters want a strong-arm leader and others just want change


Authors:

  • Dr. Andrea Wagner | Associate Professor, Political Science, MacEwan University
  • Anna Brigevich | Associate Professor of European Studies, Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Excerpt:

The rise of populist leaders has drawn significant attention over the past two decades. Around the world, they have reshaped politics, from Donald Trump in the United States to Viktor Orbán in Hungary, Marine Le Pen in France, Giorgia Meloni in Italy, Santiago Abascal in Spain and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil.

These leaders often rise to power by promising to speak for “the people” against the established “corrupt elites.” But our recent research shows that not all populist voters want the same things.

Our study examined public opinion data from nine countries to better understand what drives support for “strongman” populist leaders. The findings reveal that there are two very different kinds of populist attitudes, and the authoritarian variety most strongly predicts whether people will support a leader who is willing to bend the rules.


The article is short, and worth a read if you are curious about the results of the study or which country fell into which category. I started copying in more excerpts into this post and ended up copying 90% of the article.



Oversight Democrats’ Statement on New Tool to Document ICE Misconduct Across the Country as 170 American Citizens Illegally Detained by DHS


Today, a spokesperson for Oversight Democrats released the following statement on their investigation into the Department of Homeland Security after reports that at least 170 U.S. citizens have been unlawfully detained by the agency.

“Oversight Democrats have launched an investigation into the unlawful detention of American citizens by ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.

We’re establishing a misconduct tracker to systematically document abuse and civil rights violations by this administration — including cases where ICE has detained U.S. citizens and violated federal law. The tracker documents unconstitutional actions after they occur — it is not a live location tool. Creating this kind of investigatory record is routine and essential in any oversight inquiry.

We’re not tracking officers’ locations or putting anyone at risk. We’re publishing records to expose patterns of misconduct and to build a transparent public record for the American people. Our work will always protect the public, law enforcement, and the Constitution,” said Sara Guerrero, spokesperson for Oversight Democrats

Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings


Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

In letters released by Grassley's office on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate in Mississippi and U.S. District Judge Julien Xavier Neals in New Jersey said the decisions in the unrelated cases did not go through their chambers' typical review processes before they were issued.

“Je suis Gabriel Dufeu, illustrateur. Actuellement étudiant à l’école Pivaut, à Rennes (Bretagne, France), en première année de spécialisation illustration.

Je m’exprime depuis toujours par le dessin. Mon travail au pinceau et à l’encre de Chine, majoritairement en noir et blanc et à l’aquarelle, est influencé par des artistes phares, comme King Jung Gi, Moebius, ou encore Egon Schiele, qui m’accompagnent dans mon apprentissage. Je puise mon inspiration dans mes autres passions : la musique, le cinéma, la littérature et la danse.

Les corps, omniprésents dans mes illustrations, ne sont jamais figés : ils se déplacent, se déforment, se recomposent. Les revoir, c’est accepter de les laisser changer, et parfois de les redécouvrir autrement. Mes illustrations suivent ce mouvement : chaque dessin est une rencontre renouvelée, une tentative de capter l’instant, tout en sachant que le regard que j’y porte évoluera encore demain.”

Federal appellate court pauses Alligator Alcatraz lawsuit


In a two-sentence order on Wednesday, the Atlanta-based Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals granted a motion by federal government lawyers requesting that the appellate court pause proceedings in a case that halted a lower court decision shuttering operations at the controversial facility.

The federal lawyers in their motion stated that the shutdown prevented them from working. “The motion to stay the appeal is GRANTED. The movant is DIRECTED to promptly file a notice with the Court when the purpose for the stay is obviated,” the appellate court decision stated without any further explanation.



Retina e-paper promises screens 'visually indistinguishable from reality'


While most video screens such as those on our phones, TVs, and stadium jumbotrons seem to improve in resolution on a monthly basis, there has been an issue in improving the resolution of the tiny screens required in virtual reality apps. The problem is that as the screen moves closer to the human eye, the pixels that comprise it need to get smaller and smaller. Yet, if pixels get too small, their function starts to degrade and the image suffers. On a micro-LED screen, for example, pixels can't get much smaller than one micrometer wide before losing their ability to render a clear, crisp image.

So instead of relying on pixels, researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, the University of Gothenburg and Uppsala University in Sweden turned to a different technique. They created what they've termed "metapixels" out of tungsten oxide, a material that can switch from being an insulator to a metal based on its electrical state. The metapixels reflect light differently based on their size and how they're arranged, and can be manipulated by an electrical current. In a way, they function much like the pigments in bird's feathers, which can take on different colors based on how the light is hitting them.

The fact that metapixels don't need a light source eliminates the problems that video pixels take on when they get too small such as color bleeding and issues with uniformity.

This Texas Republican joins call with 12 other Republicans, to extend Obamacare subsidies


U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz, a McAllen Republican bracing for a tough reelection battle next year, has signed onto a letter with 12 others in her party that pushes House Speaker Mike Johnson to deal with looming cost increases for people insured through the Affordable Care Act.

​“Allowing these tax credits to lapse without a clear path forward would risk real harm to those we represent,” the members wrote in the letter. “Nevertheless, we must chart a conservative path that protects working families in our districts across the country who rely on these credits.”

Una sostituzione a settimana può migliorare la salute del fegato: lo dice la scienza


Il fegato grasso non si combatte con rinunce estreme o diete impossibili. Lo dimostra uno studio condotto su oltre 124.000 persone: basta una semplice sostituzione alimentare a settimana per ridurre il rischio di steatosi epatica. Non si parla di rivoluzioni a tavola, ma di piccoli gesti consapevoli che fanno la differenza. Questo articolo non propone regole rigide né soluzioni miracolose, ma un approccio realistico e scientificamente fondato per migliorare la salute del fegato senza stravolgere la propria vita. Se pensi che mangiare sano significhi privarsi di tutto, forse è il momento di rivedere le tue convinzioni. A volte, è sufficiente cambiare un ingrediente — una sola volta a settimana — per dare al corpo un segnale di cura. Un invito a riflettere, senza sensazionalismi, su come la qualità della dieta possa incidere più della quantità. E su come la prevenzione inizi da scelte semplici, ma costanti.
