TPB weird behavior in searches?


Greetz,

If i access TPB's .onion site it's available and i can do searches, however, there are always no search results whatsoever.
If i use the clearnet version, even via tor, then i get results....

Is anyone experiencing similar issues?

in reply to 0x0

I'd avoid TPB. It used to be alright but it's gone way downhill after several takedowns. It's kind of the Wild West now. Sure you can find a few things not other places, but you're also way more likely to get a virus or something. The mega thread pinned in this community has good alternatives like 1337x

good alternatives like 1337x


No .onion link, uses cloudflare and immediately tried to download some mpeg.
I'll check the other links though, thanks.

Edit there is an onion site.
Edit alas, links redirect through cloudflare to aliexpress... wtf?

You've got something messed up. I can hit it just fine. No redirect or download. No idea what you're doing.
in reply to mushroommunk

I've seen it, too. No idea what's behind it, but it tries to download a .ts file.
in reply to Nollij

Yeah, every time. Add /trending or something to the address. It’s only the homepage that triggers that stream.ts thing
in reply to mushroommunk

Nope, not just them. Same goes for me, tried in different setups of mine.
in reply to mushroommunk

You can't get a virus from just video/audio files, only executables, which is a risk to get from any public tracker(honestly if its not direct from a well known cracker group with no history of malware injection its a risk and even then trying stuff in a VM and monitoring network connections etc is still best practice) including tpb and 1337x
in reply to ClathrateG [none/use name]

That's not true at all and is extremely dangerous to tell others that. Example without even looking hard (yes that specific one might be fixed, but the points stands). That would allow a video file to contain a virus that would then get run by vlc.

Podman Quadlets Arr-Stack Setup And Networking


I need some help if anyone could take the time and has the knowledge:

I'm basically new to podman and namespaces, relatively new to linux and a noob at networking. So figuring this out and getting it to work took many more hours than I would like to admit, but I still have a few problems.
I have all my current Quadlets below in the spoiler (seperated by "---", assume user123 = UID 1000). I am on Bazzite, rootless Podman, which probably makes this even harder.

Questions:
- 1. If I use "podman exec ip route" (on e.g. qbittorrent) the default route goes through my actual network interface (actual ip adress) which I very much do not want (or through my killswitch dummy network from my VPN if on, which is better but still not ideal). Is there a way to completely remove my actual network from a container's eyes? "podman exec ip addr" shows 1 lo (local), 2 my actual network, 4 tun0 from gluetun. The traffic does go through gluetun correctly, but I don't trust it 100%. Having the containers separated and NOT inside a pod gives the same result, since the containers share the network namespaces from the gluetun container when I do "Network=container:gluetun" (same as just having them in a pod as far as I understand).
I tried to also create a podman network without a default gateway, but then gluetun cannot connect to the VPN in the first place.

EDIT: A few notes: I thought gluetun was supposed to set the default route (but it seems it either doesn’t or can’t). My goal was to only have gluetun see my computer’s network and have the containers only see local network and gluetun’s tun0 network (with default routing through tun0). AFAIK pods share network namespaces, though, so that might not be possible? (even without pods?)


    1. My setup works but is quite convoluted and probably has many unnecessary lines, so please give me any improvements you see



    1. Is User=1000, Group=1000, even sensible? For example in the homepage container those lines result in the container showing User "1000:1000" (from podman inspect). Would User=0, Group=0 (or no lines since I use UserNS=keep-id in the pod?), which shows as User=root (podman inspect) mean that it has actual root access or just that it is root INSIDE the container?


Thank you in advance for the answers, in case I don't reply to your comment specifically.

in reply to Excaliburr

I don't know much about ip routing, but userns=keep-id id determined based on what podman is run as. For example, I run podman as user 1000 on the host, so if I do keep-id the user in the container will map to the same id. This often messes with things as the container require it is root inside it's own context. It seems you are running podman as root, meaning that keep-id will map the container user to the actual root id, givintthe container essentially root access. Normally the container user is mapped to a random id on the host, like 653477, not 0. It's unsafe to map the containers id to root as they would be unbounded if they managed to escape. I would recommend doing systemctl cat on the different services to see what the .container file expands to.

When it comes to the networking I think that you need to create a podman network with internal set to true. I believe that this restricts internet access. Then you would need to only let these services communicate with gluetun.

I don't know if this was any help, but it's all I've managed to learn from doing it myself.

As usual the times reports, and quotes people, that do not honestly call it out for what it is, and displays fairness bias, as if there was any doubt this was a cynical favour to their industrial donor/kickback pals.

In fact, millions probably got lost in investments ending in llc's in tax havens controlled by the president, and his appointees involved. Straight up, everything is for sale.

I Can’t Sell You Laptops Anymore (video) (enshittification of computer repair)


From : techhub.social/@sawaba@infosec… (mastodon)

The enshittification of computer repair is happening.

AI has amazingly managed to make repairable computers practically worthless.

The increase in memory and storage pricing is destroying the second-hand market for computing hardware and this makes me sad. I watched a video from someone that runs a repair shop, and this is what's happening:

The memory/storage alone is worth more than the rest of the computer, so people are stripping them out to sell separately.

The second hand market is now flooded with computers that have no memory or storage. Buying new memory or storage to put in these used computers is now more expensive than buying a new computer.

So we now suddenly have a giant e-waste problem PLUS a giant problem for repair shops that want to stay in business.

In the video, he was basically saying that they have to pivot to the only computers that folks aren't stripping RAM and storage out of - computers that have those things soldered on. The irony here is that repair shops now have to ignore the most repairable computers and focus on the least repairable computers instead.

Shadowrun 1e GM Advice


Hello!

I am a fairly new GM, and have only ran a few sessions of CY_BORG. I’ve played in many home TTRPG games (mostly DnD 5e) and have familiarized myself (through reading rather than experience sadly) with some fundamental RPG design and GM advice. My issue is, at the time I went to the game store to pick up RPG books, I wasn’t knowledgeable on Shadowrun and the editions/universe other than the fact I wanted to run it some day.

I have now realized, after buying the book and past the possibility of return, that I have bought the reprint of Shadowrun 2050 (1e) which appears to be the most complicated and problematic of the games in terms of system. That being said, I’d still like to run this some day and I’m mostly fine with a bit of complexity and crunch in an RPG. I was wondering, though, if there was a way that I could sort of build up to running something like Shadowrun?

Running not only a very rules heavy system but also a world with something complicated like The Matrix in it is pretty daunting compared to most RPG systems I’ve been interested in, so I’m a bit lost on resources to help guide me. It also doesn’t help that even among old school Shadowrun fans 1e seems to be the least played edition.

Thanks in advance!

Stop arresting Palestine Action supporters, White House tells Britain


Tim Sigsworth
19 January 2026 2:48pm GMT

The White House has told Britain to stop arresting people who express support for Palestine Action.

Sarah Rogers, Donald Trump’s free speech tsar, said the arrests were “censoring” free speech and did “more harm than good”.

More than 2,000 people have been arrested for expressing support for Palestine Action since it was proscribed as a terror group in July last year.

Ms Rogers, the US state department’s under-secretary for public diplomacy, said that the public should be allowed to say they back the group.

“I would have to look at each individual person and each proscribed organisation,” she told Semafor. “I think if you support an organisation like Hamas, then depending upon whether you’re coordinating, there are all these standards that get applied.

“This Palestine Action group, I’ve seen it written about. I don’t know what it did. I think if you just merely stand up and say, ‘I support Palestine Action’, then unless you are really co-ordinating with some violent foreign terrorist, I think that censoring that speech does more harm than good.”

Palestine Action was proscribed in July 2025 after its activists broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and vandalised military aeroplanes.

In a campaign of vandalism and trespass protesting the war in Gaza, it has targeted businesses that it claims are linked to Israel.

Anyone who expresses support for the group – which is often done on a piece of paper – faces arrest and a maximum prison sentence of six months.

Ms Rogers has been an outspoken critic of Sir Keir Starmer’s Government and freedom of speech in Britain since taking her position in October last year.

She has criticised the Prime Minister for cancelling local elections, curbing rights to jury trials and not banning cousin marriage.

Ms Rogers also compared Britain under Labour to Vladimir Putin’s Russia after the Government threatened to ban Elon Musk’s X over the creation of naked images of women and children by its AI service, Grok.

She also said British police forces were wrong to arrest people for using the phrase “globalise the intifada”.

The Metropolitan Police and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said last month that anyone chanting the slogan would face arrest in a more robust approach to pro-Palestinian protesters following the Bondi Beach and Manchester synagogue terror attacks.

“I’m from New York City where thousands of people were murdered by jihadists,” Ms Rogers said, referring to the 9/11 terror attack. “I don’t want an intifada in New York City, and I think anyone who does is disgusting, but should it be legal to say in most contexts? Yes.”

In December, Greta Thunberg, the Swedish climate activist, was arrested in London for expressing support for Palestine Action. She was later bailed until March.

The group is in the midst of a legal challenge against its proscription and critics of the ban have argued the group is not comparable to violent terror groups such as Al-Qaeda or the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

Proscription ‘is draconian’


Amnesty International, the charity, has said the group’s proscription is an example of “problematic, overly broad and draconian restrictions on free speech”.

A number of the group’s activists embarked upon a hunger strike while being in prison on remand as they awaited trial.

Scottish prosecutors have offered to drop charges against some supporters of Palestine Action if they accept a £100 fine.

Adam McGibbon, who refused the offer, said: “The fact that the authorities are offering fines equivalent to a parking ticket for a ‘terrorism offence’ shows just how ridiculous these charges are. Do supporters of Islamic State get the same deal?

“I refuse to pay this fine, as has everyone else I know who has been offered one. Just try and put all 3,000 of us who have defied this ban so far in jail, Shabana Mahmood. Have you got the space?”

Mr McGibbon was among those arrested at a mass rally on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile in July 2025.

Lord Walney, co-chairman of the all-party parliamentary group for defending democracy, said: “It is unfortunate that Sarah Rogers says she is unaware of the history of violence and organised sabotage that led the UK Government to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.

“The president has spoken out in strong terms against far-Left violence and intimidation in the US and it is obvious he would in no way support these extremists damaging RAF jets, smashing up defence factories and attacking security staff with sledge hammers here in the UK.”

A spokesman for the Home Office said: “Palestine Action has conducted an escalating campaign involving not just sustained criminal damage, including to Britain’s national security infrastructure, but also intimidation and alleged violence and serious injuries to individuals. That kind of activity puts the safety and security of the public at risk.”



UK government co-owns Somaliland port at centre of Horn of Africa crisis


The British government co-owns a UAE-controlled port in Somaliland that is part of a network of Emirati infrastructure used to arm the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) accused of committing atrocities in Sudan.

The UK’s stake in Berbera port is held through the government’s foreign investment arm, British International Investment (BII), which jointly owns the strategic Horn of Africa port with the UAE’s logistics behemoth DP World and the Government of Somaliland.

Somaliland, a former British colony, is a breakaway region of Somalia that is currently at the centre of a diplomatic controversy after Israel last month became the only country in the world to recognise its independence from Mogadishu in a move that has drawn widespread international condemnation.

WebRTC Leak on Android


Can Android apps use WebRTC, or is WebRTC only available in browsers?

If Android apps can use WebRTC, how can it be blocked per app or system-wide to prevent IP or network leaks?

in reply to tatoko556

WebRTC is a protocol, you can use it in both web apps and mobile apps.

If I remember well it was used as a trick from Facebook to leak personal data using the SDP.

in reply to Pierre-Yves Lapersonne

Thanks. WebRTC-related IP leaks can occur when using a proxy. I’m searching for a method to disable WebRTC per application or across the entire system when using VPN

'Hold them to account' makes it sound like they at least had to own up and honestly admit it. Maybe they have, while simultaneously funding climate denialism, us politicians for denial, and otherwise funding campaigns to deny harm from hosts of pollutants, many systematic at this point, poisoning everything.

Insect populations are down 90 pc since the 90s, something is fundamentally wrong, they know their parts in it, and pay to make sure we do not know. Poisoning everyone to save a dollar.

in reply to silence7

As you noted yourself, this is scope 3 emissions, meaning that if I buy a ton of coal and put on fire in my garden the associated emission will be counted toward the company which extracted it.

Such accounting is useful to understand which company produce highly polluting stuff but saying that the emission come from them is highly misleading. Using this way to count emission I'm never responsible for any emission whether it is burning coal for fun, taking the plane every morning or eating exclusively beef.
What it says to people is basically that they have no responsibility and shouldn't make any change.

Yeah, this is my issue with the stats like this that come out. Individually our impact is small, but add up 8 billion people and that gets monumentally larger. While companies definitely need to be held accountable for their carbon output, it will also take collective effort of individuals. We're not off the hook either.

What it says to people is basically that they have no responsibility and shouldn’t make any change.


There's always been a sort of false dichotomy about this. On the one hand there's this idea that climate change can be solved by individual consumer choices and personal responsibility. On the other there's the idea that the average person can continue on with their life exactly as before if we just fix things "behind the scenes".

IMO the reality is that climate change mitigation requires systemic top-down change, but that change is going to affect people's lives. In some ways for the better and some ways for the worse. The kind of "individual choices" we need people to make is to choose not to throw a hissy fit when their local government removes a car lane.

If you drive a car that burns fossil fuels than you're responsible for the emissions. But the company selling you the petrol and the manufacturer of the car are also responsible. They are lobbying the governments of the world so that they can continue selling you petrol and cars with internal combustion engines instead of investing in greener technologies.

White House tech chief slams EU AI Act, champions Trump's approach as Davos begins


Going into this week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the White House’s top science and technology adviser, Michael Kratsios, signaled some chilly conversations with European leaders may lie ahead on the topic of artificial intelligence and the way it is regulated.

“I will continue to point out to my tech minister counterparts the ways they can create a regulatory environment to allow AI to thrive,” Kratsios told NBC News, “to make sure they’re not getting ahead of themselves with overburdening regulations, like the EU AI Act, which are an absolute disaster.” For Kratsios, the Trump administration’s light-touch approach to AI regulation is the winning formula.

"There’s been an A-B test for decades on how you lead in technology, and it’s very obvious what the recipe is,” said Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and one of the nation’s leading artificial intelligence advisers.

Compare 8.2.4: reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/…

With 8.1.6: reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/…

From 2 trackers to 6 trackers. From 30 permissions to 36. And two of the "trackers" are for ad stuff, like Facebook Ads.

I believe the owner also changed. It's no longer Branch, but something called Instabridge Sweden.

Israel launches large-scale military operation in the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron : Peoples Dispatch


cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/7394187

cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/2115…
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced on Sunday, January 18, the launch of an extensive military operation in Jabal Johar area, in the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron.

The IOF claimed that the operation aims to “dismantle terror infrastructure sites, eradicate illegal possession of weapons, and enhance security in the area”. It also added that the campaign will continue for several days.

The move was interpreted as an attempt to abort any resistance actions by Palestinians from Hebron before they may be carried out, and as part of Israel’s comprehensive efforts to crack down on Palestinian resistance groups in the occupied West Bank.

The fresh assault on Hebron came less than two months after the IOF began its second sweeping onslaught on the northern areas of the West Bank in the span of one year.

The successive brutal campaigns of the IOF alongside the non-stop violent setter attacks across the occupied territory resulted in the deaths of at least 240 Palestinians, including 55 children, according to a report released by the United Nations on January 7, 2026.

Iran rejects Washington's "false accusations" and continued attempts to fuel tensions in the region : Peoples Dispatch


cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/7394189

cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/2115…
On Saturday, January 17, the government of Iran claimed that the United States is making false accusations against the country in its latest attempt to “fuel tensions” in the region. It dismissed the US allegation of attacks on American bases in the region, warning that any move to militarily target Iran would be retaliated. The comments were made by the spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghaei, in a press conference in response to a post on the US Deparment of State’s Farsi page, claiming Iran is preparing to launch attacks on its bases in the region.

The US Department of State reiterated threats of striking Iran, saying that “all options remain on the table” and warning Iran not to “play games with president [Donald] Trump.” Trump has been issuing threats of strikes on Iran since the beginning of the year, after protests broke out in the country over economic suffering.

President Trump has also repeatedly threatened the Iranian government not to use force against protesters, whom he even encouraged to occupy institutions, promising “help on its way”. On Sunday, Trump went so far as to accuse Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei of misrule and excessive use of violence against the protesters to stay in power. He also repeated his call for change in the country’s leadership.

The US president’s open support for Iranian protesters and threats of military intervention has invited strong criticism from top Iranian officials, who have claimed that this encouraged the protesters to turn violent, attack public and private property, and to turn the movement into a regime-change mission.

On Saturday, Supreme Leader Khamenei reacted once again to the allegations, claiming that Trump was the main culprit behind the killings and destruction during the protests that took place over the last two weeks. Although official data is yet to be released, it is speculated that hundreds of people were killed after the nationwide protests over growing economic hardship turned violent in the first two weeks of January.

Trump is responsible for the death and destruction in Iran


Speaking during a religious ceremony on Saturday, Khamenei said that “the US president is responsible for casualties, damages, and false accusations directed against the Iranian nation.” He claimed that the US has been trying to incite violence against the Iranian state for decades. Previously, this was done through misuse of the media and the backing of low-profile politicians. However, this time it was different, he said, as “the president of the US himself intervened, made statements, encouraged the rioters, and even spoke of providing military support.”

Khamenei said this approach was pursued because “the US cannot tolerate a country with Iran’s characteristics, capabilities, vastness, and scientific and technological progress.” He asserted that authorities would not lead the “country toward war, but we will also not let domestic and international criminals go unpunished.”

On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged that Iranians are facing economic hardship. In a post on X, he claimed that this is a result of sanctions imposed by the US and its allies. Pezeshkian also warned the US and Trump against attempting to target the Iranian supreme leader, claiming any attack on Khamenei would be treated as an attack on the whole country.

US withdrawal from Iraqi base welcomed


Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited Iraq on Sunday. During a joint press conference with his Iraqi counterpart, he expressed satisfaction at the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq’s Ain-al Asad airbase after years of presence. He called it good for regional peace and stability.

As per the agreement reached with the Iraqi government in 2024, US troops pulled out of the airbase last week, handing over control to Iraqi troops. US forces first occupied the base after the 2003 invasion and until 2011. They reoccupied it in 2014 upon returning, in the wake of the emergence of ISIS in the country.

The presence of the US forces in Iraq has been one of the major points of contention with Iran, which has been campaigning for a complete withdrawal of US and foreign troops in the region, describing their presence as a threat to regional peace and security. Iran has often claimed Ain-al Asad was used by the US to launch attacks inside the country. It had also fired several missiles on the base in January 2020, after the US assassinated General Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad.

Araghchi noted that stability in Iraq is a guarantee of security and peace in the region.

Printing Paywalled Sites


I'm trying to find an extension that will allow me to print pages such as the one I've linked. When I attempt to do so, the page goes black and I'm prevented from snagging the content. I've also tried screenshot tools, including a few grab & print style extensions. I've messed around with the inspector console, tried disabling javascript, more or less all of the things you might futz with to circumvent this. No joy.

Does anyone have a solution or tool they use for this? I'd like to have this on paper so I don't have to stare at a screen when I'm playing. (I'm a shit jazz musician and need tab. I blame rock and roll.)

Cheers!
