Investigation ordered after Iraq appears to designate Hezbollah and Houthis terrorists


The apparent designation of Lebanon's Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi movement as terror groups by the Iraqi government sparked confusion and recriminations on Thursday, with authorities later saying the sanctions were announced in error.

The decision, published on 17 November by the justice ministry in the official gazette, surprised many, as the Iraqi government appeared to group the two organisations in the same bracket as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group.

Initially, many saw the designation as a sign that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, whose outgoing government is largely composed of parties with links to Iran, was buckling under American pressure. Little attention was paid to the move until Thursday, however, when news outlets belatedly began to pick up on it.

The controversy prompted questions from observers: were Hezbollah and the Houthis genuinely placed on the list by mistake, or was the government trying to backtrack to curb anger from its allies?

U.S. Asks Lebanon to Return Undetonated Israeli GBU-39 Bomb Amid Fears It Could Reach Russia or China


The United States has asked the Lebanese authorities to return an undetonated GBU-39 small-diameter bomb (SDB) that was launched by an Israeli fighter jet during the operation that killed Hezbollah commander Ali Tabtabai earlier this week, according to Lebanese media and a report by The Jerusalem Post.

New York Mayor Eric Adams Signs Executive Orders Prohibiting Mayoral Appointees and Agency Staff From Boycotting and Disinvesting From Israel.


NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today signed two executive orders that will ensure city agencies continue to make sound financial decisions that protect taxpayer dollars and that protect New Yorkers’ right to practice their religion at houses of worship without harassment, while protecting freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.

Executive Order No. 60 prohibits mayoral agency heads, agency chief contracting officers, and any other mayoral appointees with discretion over contracting from engaging in procurement practices that discriminate against the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or those associated with Israel.

The executive order also prohibits the chief pension administrator and mayoral trustees to the city pension system from opposing divestment from bonds and other assets that would discriminate against the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or those associated with Israel.

EU’s Top Court Just Made It Literally Impossible To Run A User-Generated Content Platform Legally




What are your favourite songs discovered this year?


Spotify Wrapped is on the streets now, but rather than everyone saying what a cold algorithm told them their favourite songs were this year, I'd like to hear what actual people actually think.

So what are your favourite musical discoveries this year? Whether those were brand new songs from 2025, older songs that you only heard for the first time this year, or even songs you re-discovered after years of not hearing them.

Here’s some of mine, in the format of a goofy award show:

Favourite New Song From This Year
- Maybe technically cheating because the band has apparently been playing this song live since at least 2023, but the studio version is from this year.

Favourite New Song Actually From This Year
the thoughts that keep me up at night by Marhly - This one makes me feel old, mostly because the artist is that much younger than me. But there’s something about the anxious lyrics that felt very 2025.

Favourite New Song That Really Made Me Feel Old
- Speaking of artists that are way, way younger than me, we have this song. I’m not sure about the warbly vocals in some places, but it’s upbeat and optimistic (like its says on the tin).

Favourite New Song That Made Me Feel Young
Well, Whatever it Was by Joyce Manor - This song feels like it could have come out when I was in high school, but rather than make me feel my age, it put a spring in my step. I didn’t actually listen to much music back then, so maybe I’ve misestimated my musical eras, but I can’t really shake the feeling.

Favourite New Song by a Band That I Saw Live
- Granted, I only went to one concert this year, but still counts, right? I’m not a huge OLP fan, mostly knowing their songs by osmosis, but hearing this song for the first time made me buy a ticket. It was kind of a rebound concert as I had to miss seeing my favourite band on their farewell tour, but I still enjoyed myself, even if they didn’t play this particular song.

Favourite Rediscovered Song
Tornado of Souls by Megadeth - I used to listen to Rust In Peace quite a bit when I was younger, but I kind forgot about it (and most other metal) for the better part of a decade until a new Megadeth song hit my recommendations. That caused me to go back and listen, and reawaken by appreciation for this song.

Favourite Song Discovered Through Weird Coincidence
- This one randomly came up in my wife’s playlist. Neither of us had heard of the band before, but I figure it had something to do with the Ghost songs that we both like.

Favourite New Cover
Folsom Prison Blues by Sawyer Hill - A heavier take on a Johnny Cash song, my first thought when I heard this was, “Boy, they don’t make them like this any more.” Sawyer Hill has an interesting voice, baritone like Cash but more gravelly. Speaking of which…

Favourite New Song That I Liked Purely for a Single Element
- Do I actually like this song? Is this actually a good song? I don't know, but Mr. Hill has a really interesting voice, so I’m willing to forgive some lyrics that feel a bit too cute. I do understand if his voice drives people away, though; what I’ve gathered is that some people really cannot stand it.

Favourite New Song With the Hardest Hitting Lyric
Troubadour Moon by The Wildhearts - “It’s a bitch when you find out you’re just an ordinary man.” Oof.

Favourite New Song That Really Has Me Hoping the Artist Isn’t Problematic
- I kid (mostly), but it is southern rock. I haven’t found anything problematic about Ms. Fish, thankfully, but I also haven’t dug too far.

Favourite New Song Discovered Through Lemmyvision
Band LIke That by fanclubwallet - I submitted a bunch of songs for my country’s entry in Lemmyvision. None of them got many votes, but I did discover this one submitted by someone else.

Honourable Mentions

Ma Cherie by Palaye Royale and Kellin Quinn

In My Pocket by Cafuné

How to show file icons by default application in GNOME?


Hi everyone,

I’m using Fedora Linux 43 with GNOME 49. By default, GNOME shows file icons based on the file type, not the application that opens them.

What I’d like to achieve is for file icons to show the icon of the program that is set as the default to open the file—similar to how it works in Windows.

For example, in my screenshot, I have three files that are all opened by the same program by default (VSCodium in this case), but each one has a different icon based on its file type. I’d like them all to show the icon of the program instead.

Is there a way to show file icons based on the default app?

Thanks in advance!

in reply to mypasswordis1234

This isn't a GNOME-specific thing as other DEs also display files by their file type. It's all defined by the icon theme.

I'm not sure if there exists an icon theme that replaces the unique filetype icons with specific application icons, but if such a thing does exist, that could be a solution.

You could also edit the icon theme you're using yourself too, if you're feeling adventurous. Using the Papirus icon theme, on my system the image representing a python text file is located in /usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/mimetypes/text-x-python.svg. I could replace that image with anything. I'm not sure why I'd want to do that, but if you really want to replace all these images with an image of VSCodium no one's gonna stop you.

Maybe there's a script that does this automatically? If such a thing exists, it'll probably follow the steps I just mentioned.

A New Anonymous Phone Carrier Lets You Sign Up With Nothing but a Zip Code


Nicholas Merrill received a hand delivered National Security Letter from the FBI in 2004, ordering him to give up data on one of his customers.

Merrill opened it and read the letter while the agent waited. The first and second paragraphs told him he was hereby ordered to hand over virtually all information he possessed for one of his customers, identified by their email address, explaining that this demand was authorized by a law he’d later learn was part of the Patriot Act.

The third paragraph informed him he couldn’t tell anyone he’d even received this letter—a gag order.

He then fought a landmark, decade-plus legal battle against the FBI and the Department of Justice. As the owner of an internet service provider in the post-9/11 era, Merrill had received a secret order from the bureau to hand over data on a particular user—and he refused. He refused and won.

After that, he spent another 15 years building and managing the Calyx Institute, a nonprofit that offers privacy tools like a snooping-resistant version of Android and a free VPN that collects no logs of its users’ activities.

Now the completely anonymous phone service. The full article is worth the read.

Does anyone know how to make the Arch text bigger?


I'm a macbro who's been using the terminal for eight years. I downloaded an Archlinux VM for UTM (macOS Tahoe) and I like it, I just wish the text was bigger. I know you don't get Arch because of its snazzy UI, you do it so you can do....Idk, cool 1337 h4x0r shit? I seriously don't know, you guys, I've only been an Arch user for like three days.
in reply to alias_qr_rainmaker

GNOME Files (Nautilus) doesn't have a setting that lets you switch between file type icons and app icons. That's one thing that makes GNOME different from Windows. There might be a workaround, though, you could try a different file manager, but I'm not aware of one that specificall yimplements the kind of app-based icons you get with Windows
in reply to alias_qr_rainmaker

People can hate on OP and I might be an idiot too... But font sizing is one reason why I switched from Gnome (on Ubuntu) to KDE Plasma (on Debian). I had setup Gnome/Ubuntu for an older friend and I was really bummed by the difficulty of increasing the fonts/icons. With Plasma it's just basic settings.

La premiata coppia Erik “Ripley” Johnson & Sanae Yamada, in arte Moon Duo, torna a far danni in questo 2015. Il Duo per l’occasione si trasforma spesso e volentieri in un trio, con l’aggiunta del batterista John Jeffrey a dare nuova linfa a quei ritmi densi e corposi, sempre in bilico tra kraut rock e psichedelia, che sono un po’ il marchio di fabbrica della band. “Shadow Of The Sun” è stato registrato durante un periodo di insolita calma, lontano da concerti, tour e dall’adrenalina che dà spostarsi di continuo. Nove tracce nate dentro un seminterrato di Portland (Oregon) che spiegano meglio di tante parole lo strano sentimento che si prova a stare fermi dopo aver tanto viaggiato, quando la voglia di riposare è tanta ma il desiderio di ripartire è già nato e si fa sentire... artesuono.blogspot.com/2015/03…

Hardware resources usage over time ?


Hi,

I'm looking for a FLOSS way to have hardware resources usage ( cpu, mem, storage, network, etc.. ) over time ?

Any lightweight solution suggestion ?

It can be TUI or GUI ( XFCE )

It could be nice also to can filter result/graph by process, user etc..

Thanks

in reply to DirtyGadget

Here's an actual answer, a system monitor with historical data: beszel.dev/

It's a webUI but that shouldn't really matter vs an app with its own GUI.

Nightreign on Mint is really framey compared to Windows


Posting here because I don't know any other decent communities to ask.

I'm running Mint on a fairly beefy PC that was top spec in 2022. I started with Windows then added another SSD for Linux. I went with Mint but overall I've found games to be a bit lackluster on here.

The main one is Elden Ring: Nightreign. It runs buttery smooth on Windows, but on the same PC using Linux it gets a little choppy and almost unplayable if I'm in a round with others.

I've noticed other issues like Arc Raiders is meant to work well on Linux but was an unplayable mess for me.

I'm just doing everything through Steam so nothing weird or hacky going on, I have a laptop with Bazzite I use to get games from Myabandonware running and it has been fine by comparison.

Are there any extra programs or dependencies I should download? Or should I just switch to Bazzite given I'm gaming and running a Nvidia card? I got into Linux after building this PC so I didn't know AMD was better for Linux at the time. Building this PC showed me how to install an OS on a computer so it was the start of the rabbithole for me in a way.

I know there isn't a lot of details on specs here, but I'm more wondering if there's anything more I should do on a non-gaming focused distro or if it's easier to just switch.

Pentagon announces it has killed four men in another boat strike in Pacific


The latest strike was the first in nearly three weeks. It comes as the Pentagon and the White House have struggled to answer questions about the legal basis for the campaign to kill suspected drug smugglers with military strikes, with US lawmakers promising to investigate the first such attack, in September, in which two survivors clinging to wreckage were killed in a follow-on strike.

Hegseth has faced increasing scrutiny over the 2 September strike following a report from the Washington Post that the defense secretary had verbally directed the military to "kill them all". On Thursday, a Democratic lawmaker introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth, pointing to the boat strike and a report that found he broke rules by sharing information about an attack on Signal, but such an effort is unlikely to succeed.

Greek unions reaffirm solidarity with Palestine after West Bank visit


cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6931655

cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/1138…
The All-Workers’ Militant Front organized a solidarity visit to trade unions in the West Bank, witnessing firsthand the violence faced by Palestinian workers under occupation.

The post Greek unions reaffirm solidarity with Palestine after West Bank visit appeared first on Peoples Dispatch.

Around the time the so-called ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was announced, the Greek All-Workers’ Militant Front (PAME) organized a solidarity visit to trade unions in Palestine. During their trip, PAME’s delegation met with labor organizations in the West Bank and traveled to refugee camps and communities that face regular attacks by Israeli settlers.

The delegation, which included PAME Secretariat member Giorgos Perros and Markos Bekris from the dockworkers’ organization ENEDEP, witnessed firsthand the daily reality of workers in the West Bank. “Every day, at the checkpoints of the army of the murderous state of Israel, thousands of Palestinians are subjected to humiliating inspections, waiting for hours in the heat or cold just to reach their workplace,” PAME described. “Every day they risk their lives under the barrel of a gun, struggling to earn a day’s wage to feed their families.”

Since the beginning of the genocide, PAME added, unemployment in the West Bank has reached roughly 70%. As Israel continues to deny work permits to Palestinian workers, many have been left with no option but to attempt risky crossings in search of occasional work. Several workers have been killed, and many more injured, trying to bypass the apartheid wall erected by Israeli authorities, including during the delegation’s visit, as documented by the media organization 902.gr.

The trade unionists also collected testimonies from agricultural workers and farmers whose land continues to be confiscated by Israeli authorities or seized by settlers, as well as from people from refugee camps, violently expelled from their homes and forced into schools or other makeshift shelters. This pattern of violence only escalated throughout the genocide and has continued despite the ceasefire announcement.

“The unrelenting, murderous attacks, even after the so-called ‘truce’ of October 10, 2025, with a gun held to the head of the Palestinian people, show that the crime has never stopped,” PAME wrote in a declaration published on November 29, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. “The working class and the people of Greece stand on the right side of history, against the slaughterhouses and wars of the imperialists, asserting the inalienable right of all peoples to live in peace in their own homeland.”

Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline


An engineer got curious about how his iLife A11 smart vacuum worked and monitored the network traffic coming from the device. That’s when he noticed it was constantly sending logs and telemetry data to the manufacturer — something he hadn't consented to. The user, Harishankar, decided to block the telemetry servers' IP addresses on his network, while keeping the firmware and OTA servers open. While his smart gadget worked for a while, it just refused to turn on soon after. After a lengthy investigation, he discovered that a remote kill command had been issued to his device.

First, it isn't a roomba, second it says in the article how much it cost, third some people have hobbies and sometimes those hobbies are tinkering, dismantling and hacking things they supposedly own and that sometimes leads to revelations like this. Hope that helps.

Is it just me that finds the term "forever chemical" completely meaningless? I have no idea what is trying to be conveyed except something fear inducing.

As far as I understand it’s just chemicals that don’t decompose (within a reasonable timespan), meaning they may stay in your body forever, which is usually a bad thing.


Israel 'bulldozed bodies' of Palestinian it killed at Gaza aid sites into unmarked graves




The Former Israeli Spies Overseeing US Government Cyber Security


Axonius is commonly described as an American company. While its headquarters and administrative functions are in New York, its founders, senior executives, and its primary financiers are all Israeli, and, critically, its software and engineering functions are based in Tel Aviv. Axonius has more than eight-hundred employees, and a search of LinkedIn profiles confirms that a majority of Axonius's engineers in Tel Aviv have a background in Israeli military intelligence.

Perhaps none of this matters, and Axonius is simply indicative of the sleazy, symbiotic nature of the relationship between the US and its colonial outpost.

This would be a fair argument if it wasn't for Israel's long history of espionage in the United States. From recruiting Hollywood producers who ran front companies that stole nuclear technologies, to selling bugged software to foreign governments, spying (especially cyber spying), has been central to Israel's foreign policy. Robert Maxwell, the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, was a spy for Israel, and a significant amount of circumstantial evidence suggests Jeffrey Epstein was also an Israeli military intelligence asset. More recently, during Trump's first term, Israel planted miniature spying devices around the White House and other US government buildings in Washington DC to monitor US officials.

Enjoy ProtonMail's premium custom scheduling & custom snoozing for free


Using this userscript I made : git.kaki87.net/KaKi87/userscripts/protonmailWithoutAnnoyances


ProtonMail allows scheduling and snoozing messages for free at preset times, e.g. tomorrow, next Monday, this weekend, etc., and always at 8, but makes people pay to choose a customized date and time.

I had a hunch that this restriction might only be implemented client-side, so I tried modifying the value in DevTools for the first time, and I couldn't believe it : that worked !

So, in order to automate this, I created a userscript that replaces the button press handler for the "custom" option, then lets you input whatever value you need, e.g. (next) Wednesday, (in) 30 minutes, (today at) 8 PM, Thursday at 7 (AM), etc.

Then, it lets the app believe that we're gonna schedule using the tomorrow preset, until it intercepts the request and swaps the time value with the user's choice.

Enjoy !

This is a cool user script. I don't want to take that away from you. Beckons me back to a more fun version of the internet. You're providing a useful feature to people.

However I do want to encourage anyone running user scripts on their email clients to be very careful. If your script auto updates you are opening yourself up to a delayed attack. And if you don't understand every bit of the script you are opening yourself up to exploitation. Determine your threat model and capability and proceed appropriately.

i had the same though when i read the title and it appealed to me because of it and also because i'm a proton user (for now).

i'd like to think this is safer than the other scripts that existed(ed) out there in that you can see the source for yourself, so maybe the threat isn't so extreme.

Thank you !

What about stuff that runs everywhere, including email clients ?

uBO for example, is a much bigger codebase that no random user is gonna read, yet it does run on ProtonMail and there's no way to be sure no malicious person injected something in there to read people's emails.

In addition, I also have userscripts that technically do run everywhere, but only do something concrete on some websites, that I don't have a finite list of URLs for.

For example, Fediverse redirector is a userscript that redirects any Fediverse app instance to the user's choice. But, any URL may be a Fediverse app, and I need to check it first. Same with Enhancements for Forgejo, this one adds features to Forgejo instances, but any URL could be a Forgejo instance.

if you don't understand every bit of the script you are opening yourself up to exploitation


Yeah, maybe I should add some comments, and also highlight the import of createFetchInterceptor (still my own code but in a separate file for reusability).

Can you get Clipboard History on Gnome+Wayland?


I wanted a simple clipboard history on Win+V.

I've installed CopyQ - it's ugly, starts with a lag and doesn't quite work on Super+V shortcut. I've switched to Wayland and it silently stopped working altogether.

Next, I've installed Gnome Clipboard History Extension - it looks good, fast, works on Super+V, but for some reason it can't paste into Kate text editor.

Is it possible to get a reliable clipboard history manager on Gnome+Wayland, or should I stop wasting my time? Maybe someone has a working solution?

I am a little but frustrated by the obstacles I encounter trying to get this simple feature.

I use copyq on wayland everyday. But not gnome, on hyprland.

I don't see any cooling, it's going to catch fire once you put the pedal to the metal

I mean, what do you expect from a culture that invented hell (Hel)? The Franks liked it so much they adopted it into the Christian Canon, so that there was an "or else."
