South Korea's fishermen keep dying. Is climate change to blame? The head of the taskforce pinpointed climate change as one of the major causes
This year, the head of the taskforce pinpointed climate change as one of the major causes, as well as highlighting other problems - the country's aging fishing workforce, a growing reliance on migrant workers, and poor safety training.The seas around Korea are warming more rapidly than the global average, in part because they tend to be shallower. Between 1968 and 2024, the average surface temperature of the country's seas increased by 1.58C, more than double the global rise of 0.74C.

"Analog bags" are in. Doomscrolling is out.
The latest must-have accessory is a "stop-scrolling bag" -- a tote packed with analog activities like watercolors and crossword puzzles. We spend hours glued to our screens. "Analog bags," as they're also called, are one way millennials and Gen Zers are reclaiming that time. "I basically just put everything I could grab for instead of my phone into a bag," including knitting, a scrapbook and a Polaroid camera, says Sierra Campbell, the content creator behind the trend.The 31-year-old keeps one bag at home in Northern California, carrying it from room to room, and another in her car. The trend has quickly spread on social media, part of a bigger shift to unplug. Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025 -- up over 330% from the same period last year, according to TikTok data shared with Axios.
"It speaks to an incredible desperation and desire for experiences that return our attention to us, that fight brain-rotting, that are tactile ... that involve creating over scrolling," says Beth McGroarty, vice president of research at the Global Wellness Institute.

What are your thoughts on IPTV in 2025? Reliability, speed, and channel quality seem to vary a lot lately.
Hey everyone,
I’ve been in the IPTV world for a few years now, and I’ve noticed big differences lately between services — especially when it comes to stability during live events (sports, PPV, etc.). Some providers struggle with buffering or channels going down mid-match, while others run perfectly smooth.
What do you guys look for in a good IPTV provider — channel count, sports coverage, reliability, or price?
For context, I manage IPTVpakket.net
— we’ve been testing different server setups and load-balancing systems to keep streams stable even when thousands connect at once.
I’d love to hear your experiences and what matters most to you when choosing IPTV in 2025. Let’s share insights 👇

On The Ning Nang Nong
Spike Milligan
On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There’s a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can’t catch ’em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

It's supposed to be payday for many federal workers. Instead, they're getting nothing
The sight was staggering in Prince George's County, Md., home to more than 60,000 federal workers: middle-class professionals lined up for boxes of pasta, protein and produce to feed their families.
After a two-hour wait, Wanda Bright had finally reached the front of the line --- just as the first batch of supplies ran out.
The Capital Area Food Bank had started the day with 300 boxes, enough for 150 government employees to receive two boxes each. It turned out that the need was even greater.

I guess it's a little more compact to make it internal, but I'd think that an external USB drive would be a much better option, not compete for space in the laptop. I mean, people can't be using the thing all the time.
considers
Though there was a point in the past when laptop vendors would design the laptop to support a secondary battery in the optical drive bay if you didn't want an internal optical drive, and that would be something I'd like. That's the only way you can exceed the 100Wh maximum on flights, if the battery is a spare removeable, not built-in.

Interesting video, but a bit of clickbait.
The "tipping point" they're talking about is renewable energy, particularly solar. It's now dropped in price to the point where it's the cheapest option for energy. That means it's not just the best ecological choice, but the most economical as well. That increases adoption, which will drive prices down even further.

HP OneAgent Update Broke Entra Trust on HP AI Devices
A faulty HP OneAgent update (version 1.2.50.9581) silently deleted Microsoft Entra ID certificates on HP's AI-enabled devices, breaking cloud authentication for affected organizations1. The issue stemmed from a cleanup script in package SP161710 that indiscriminately removed certificates containing "1E" in their identifiers, inadvertently deleting critical MS-Organization-Access certificates needed for Entra ID authentication1.
The problem specifically affected HP's Next Gen AI models like the EliteBook X Flip G1i, with the update pushed through HP's AWS IoT backend without proper testing1. While HP has pulled the problematic update, affected devices require manual intervention - either logging in with local admin credentials to rejoin Entra ID or using Microsoft Defender's Live Response for remote fixes12.
According to HP, "The update is no longer available and will not affect more AI PCs. We're investigating the issue and working closely with impacted customers on mitigation"3.

Eigene Mastodon-Instanz betreiben – lohnt sich das?
In den letzten Jahren hat das Fediverse – also dezentrale soziale Netzwerke wie Mastodon – immer mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekommen. Viele, die sich mit digitaler Unabhängigkeit, Datenschutz oder Community-Management beschäftigen, stellen sich früher oder später die Frage:
Sollte ich (oder meine Organisation) eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz betreiben?
Ich habe mich mal mit den Argumenten, Erfahrungsberichten und praktischen Herausforderungen beschäftigt. Hier ist mein persönlicher Blick auf das Thema.
Warum überhaupt eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz?
Kontrolle über Marke, Daten und Community
Die vielleicht wichtigste Motivation: Unabhängigkeit und Kontrolle.
Eine eigene Instanz bedeutet, dass du selbst entscheidest, wie sie aussieht, welche Regeln gelten und wie mit Nutzerdaten umgegangen wird. Du kannst dein eigenes Branding etablieren, Inhalte selbst moderieren und eine Community nach deinen Werten aufbauen.
Datenhoheit und digitale Unabhängigkeit
Während zentrale Plattformen wie X (Twitter) oder Facebook jederzeit Richtlinien ändern oder Accounts sperren können, behältst du bei einer eigenen Instanz die volle Datenhoheit.
Niemand kann dich „abschalten“, und du entscheidest, welche Daten gespeichert oder gelöscht werden.
Das schafft nicht nur Vertrauen, sondern auch eine langfristige, nachhaltige digitale Identität.
Eine Gemeinschaft mit klaren Werten schaffen
Mit einer eigenen Instanz kannst du eine maßgeschneiderte Community aufbauen – mit klaren Regeln, passender Moderation und eigenem Fokus.
Ob Fachcommunity, Verein, Familie oder Organisation – du definierst, was erlaubt ist, welche Themen im Vordergrund stehen und wie der Ton gestaltet wird. Erwähnt sei hier die Instanz von Erik welcher mich erst mal auf den Gedanken für diesen Beitrag gebracht hat.
Teil des großen Ganzen – mit eigener Identität
Eine Mastodon-Instanz ist kein isoliertes Netzwerk. Sie ist Teil des Fediverse, das über das ActivityPub-Protokoll mit tausenden anderen Instanzen verbunden ist.
Das bedeutet: Du kannst mit allen anderen kommunizieren – und trotzdem deine eigene, unverwechselbare Identität behalten.
Was gegen eine eigene Instanz spricht
Technischer Aufwand & Wartung
Eine Instanz läuft nicht von allein.
Du musst dich um Updates, Sicherheit, Backups und Monitoring kümmern – und dafür braucht es entweder technisches Know-how oder einen verlässlichen Hoster.
Ohne diese Basis wird aus der idealistischen Idee schnell eine Belastung.
Laufende Kosten
Auch wenn Open Source kostenlos ist, ist der Betrieb es nicht.
Serverkosten, Speicherplatz, Domain, ggf. E-Mail-Hosting – das summiert sich.
Ein realistischer Einstieg liegt bei rund 10–30 € pro Monat, für größere Instanzen mit vielen Nutzer*innen kann es deutlich mehr werden.
Weniger Reichweite & Netzwerkeffekt
Kleine Instanzen haben oft ein Reichweitenproblem.
Je nach Einstellungen und Föderationsstatus kann es sein, dass Beiträge nur von wenigen gesehen werden.
Wer Sichtbarkeit und Interaktion sucht, ist auf großen Instanzen oft besser aufgehoben.
Verantwortung & Rechtliches
Wer eine Instanz betreibt, ist nicht nur technisch, sondern auch rechtlich verantwortlich.
Das bedeutet: Impressumspflicht, Datenschutzrichtlinie, DSGVO-Konformität, ggf. Moderationspflichten (besonders bei öffentlichen Servern).
Man übernimmt Verantwortung – nicht nur für Technik, sondern für Menschen und Inhalte.
Fazit: Wann lohnt sich eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz?
Eine eigene Instanz ist keine Spielerei, sondern eine bewusste Entscheidung.
Sie lohnt sich dann, wenn du:
- eine Community, Organisation oder Marke mit klaren Werten betreibst,
- Verantwortung übernehmen willst,
- und bereit bist, Zeit und etwas Geld in digitale Unabhängigkeit zu investieren.
Wenn du dagegen nur privat posten oder „Mastodon ausprobieren“ willst, ist der Einstieg über eine bestehende Instanz (z. B. chaos.social, troet.cafe oder mastodon.social) oft der bessere Weg.
Eine offizielle Liste mit der man gezielt suchen kann, gibt es hier.
Mein persönliches Fazit
Ich sehe in eigenen Instanzen einen echten Mehrwert – nicht für alle, aber für viele.
Für Projekte, die Wert auf Eigenständigkeit, Datenschutz und Community-Kultur legen, kann es ein großartiges Werkzeug sein.
Für Gelegenheitsnutzer*innen dagegen ist es eher ein Overkill.
Wer aber bereit ist, die Verantwortung zu tragen, gestaltet damit nicht nur ein soziales Netzwerk – sondern ein Stück digitale Zukunft.

French court convicts TotalEnergies of greenwashing over climate claims
Judges ruled on Thursday that the energy giant had misled consumers by overstating its carbon neutrality goals. The case could set a potential precedent for corporate climate advertising.The lawsuit targeted around 40 "false advertisements," some of which are still being used, according to climate groups. It requested that TotalEnergies be required to stop using them and be required to put disclaimers on its ads that include warnings about the impact of fossil fuels on the climate.

- The fuel, and controversies, that built TotalEnergies
Founded in 1924 at the initiative of the French state, the group is now one of the world's leading oil companies. Confronted with a number of scandals, notably environmental, it's now accused of undermining the energy transition and enriching itself at the expense of climate change.

Dalla candidatura a sindaca alle voci sul futuro politico: tutti i capitoli del “caso Salis” Wanda Valli su L'Unica - Genova
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.
- 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.
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.

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

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.

Satellites can be used to independently monitor emissions, helping to better understand emissions in regions where ground-based or other data are lacking.The Conversation

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 (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
