Strikes on Iran ease pressure on Israel to end starvation in Gaza


In the hours after Israel attacked Iran, food shipments and distribution in Gaza stopped and a French-Saudi summit meant to pave the way for wider recognition of a Palestinian state was postponed indefinitely.

International pressure over starvation and civilian killings in Gaza had apparently dissipated in little more than the time it took for the smoke of the first missile strikes to clear over Tehran.

Israel’s military moved fast to declare Iran its top priority, with the battle for Gaza relegated to second place. That shift was echoed in foreign ministries and newsrooms around the world.

Iranian women in the streets: We want an atomic bomb!


Actual Iranian women vs. Imperialist pinkwashing.

These villains are driving us crazy! These villains spent a year and a half killing half a million people, and now they’re attacking! We want an atomic bomb!


Rania Khalek/BreakThrough News 📺

Why is Iran under constant US attack? Is it really about women’s rights and democracy? Or is it because Iran, since its revolution, has been a staunch supporter both ideologically and materially, of resistance to US imperialism across the Middle East? To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Nina Farnia, Assistant Professor of Law at Albany Law School, a longtime activist and a scholar of Critical Race Theory, with a focus on US imperialism and its impact on domestic law.

MAD is only a detergent if everyone has Nuclear bombs.

If the US and west get to keep their bombs, despite being the US being the only country to have ever used one, then everyone should be able to have nuclear bombs.

The thing is, the US and west don't actually want to prevent nuclear weapons from being used, they specifically want to prevent them being used against them and their allies, while maintaining the threat of using them against their enemies.



I’m accidentally becoming a #FediMerch guy.

Shiny stickers


Last year, I wrote a blog post, Fediverse for Freedom – which was about the importance of a free and open Fediverse, and how and why public institutions can support it. Since then, I’ve referred to this blog post in many of my talks and in conversations, and started to use the hashtag #FediverseForFreedom.

Ahead of FOSDEM back in February, I created some stickers to share – a Fediverse logo, overlaid with the text “I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance #FediverseForFreedom”. They were quite a hit at the time, and since then I’ve used the same image in presentations. When people have seen them, I’ve quite often been asked where they came from.

Last week, Elena Rossini – writer of the fantastic The Future is Federated blog/newsletter, talented filmmaker and photographer, and (perhaps) the Fediverse’s Number One Fan – released a great, four minute video that both explains and promotes the Fediverse and open platforms not owned by billionaires1

videos.elenarossini.com/videos…

One of the stickers shows up in several shots of the the video, and once again, I heard that people would like to be able to get some for themselves.

A simple site


I’ve been wanting to make the stickers available for a while, but the release of the video finally pushed me into getting this done!

I’d recently bought some stickers myself, from the talented Robb Knight, and he mentioned that he used Stripe Payment Links for his site. I already had a Stripe account, so thought I’d try the same thing.

So: now you can visit fediverseforfreedom.org (.com points to .org), and click on a link to to get a handful of stickers shipped in your direction! You can also easily just tell your friends, “oh yeah, I got them from Fediverse For Freedom dot org”. Nice and straightforward.
A small pile of I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance stickers
There’s a bit more information about it all on that simple site, but I thought it might be interesting to write down a bit more about how I made it.

The site is running on Codeberg Pages. Previously I’ve put these kinds of one-off, single page sites up on GitHub Pages, or on Glitch. I’m feeling increasingly less comfortable about having all of my stuff on GitHub and hosted in the US; and, unfortunately, Glitch is going away soon (more on this in a future post). So in this case I chose Codeberg Pages, although I’m aware that they are themselves a platform that is currently in maintenance mode. I’m open to suggestions for similar sites, as I’ll need to migrate some Glitch apps somewhere very soon!

Apart from that: the whole operation is very low tech. Stripe Payment Links are convenient – Stripe itself can handle a huge variety of payment types – but, on the backend… it does not do much. No order acknowledgement emails, order management tools, or anything like that. All I get is a basic dashboard with information about the orders. I whipped up some simple Python that uses the Stripe API to grab the postal addresses of orders, and then creates SVG address labels for printing. The same code also grabs the email addresses so that I can send an email thanking the customer for the order.

In terms of shipping, that’s also a manual process – no “drop-shipping” here, I’m getting the stickers from my regular supplier (StickerApp), putting them in envelopes, and posting them out myself. That also means that delivery times will vary – although I had enough in stock to cover all of the initial orders, I’ve also been in Amsterdam for the past 3 days, so the first batch will go out on Monday.

One more thing I’m experimenting with here is GoatCounter, just to get a sense of traffic and interest. I didn’t want to put a load of invasive Google Analytics onto such a basic page, and I’ve had GoatCounter recommended to me a few times now – like Mastodon, it has also benefited from NLNet funding from the European Union in the past, and I wanted to see what was possible. It seems to do just what I wanted, whilst also being unintrusive.

What’s next?


Look… I don’t intend to become some kind of merch magnate, but I do know that some people share my own desire to display our commitment to the Fediverse and related causes, and if I can help folks to do so, then I will (did you know we already made a t-shirt? Elena has asked me for more in the same vein!).

If you want to look for other ways to show your support in public, and to give back to people or projects that work on tools that you use, take a look at the Awesome Fediverse Merch list that Jeff Sikes is curating. Plenty of options for everyone.

Finally – remember to support the creators of your favourite sites, services, and open source software directly, whenever you can!


  1. Remember, as I heard in a keynote at the PublicSpaces conference this week: “the Internet is currently controlled by four or five fucked up right wing white men” – it’s time to rewild the internet, and take ownership of our data and choices. ↩︎

Fediverse for Freedom (FOSDEM 2025)


A short talk about why civic institutions should own and host their own presence in the Social Web. This talk was originally given at the end of the "Social Web After Hours" meetup in Brussels HSBXL, for FOSDEM 2025.

Todd Haynes, Mark Ruffalo – „Vergiftete Wahrheit“ (2019)

Hollywood kann so viel mehr als Eskapismus – das beweist dieses leise, wütende Justizdrama über einen der größten Umweltskandale der US-Geschichte. Mark Ruffalo spielt den Anwalt, der gegen den Chemiekonzern DuPont kämpft – und gegen die Gleichgültigkeit der Öffentlichkeit. Ein Film, der nicht beruhigt, sondern verstört. Und der noch lange nach dem Abspann weiterarbeitet… (ARD/One)

How can we combine two audio recording inputs (mics) into one audio input source in Manjaro?


My partner and I are running Manjaro and very new to it. Trying to switch as much as possible over to daily use with Manjaro.
We have pipewire, not pulseaudio

We record multiple times a week on OBS, and my partner and I are in the same room. We have two mics side by side both inputs going into my PC. Linux, and therefore OBS, are recognizing the two mic inputs separately as you might expect.

OBS can set up both of these separate inputs, but the issue is we're having significant problems with echo and the noise suppression/noise gates are not sufficient.

This was not an issue on windows, where we used Voicemeeter to combine our inputs into one mic for OBS. I am looking to emulate that on Linux to see if it solves our problems.

We have tried a mic merge sink, but it creates an OUTPUT device, not an input device.

SOLUTION:
QPWGraph was the answer (or something like it, Helvum was also recommended) While it looks intimidating at first you just need to understand it's a series of outputs and inputs and you play mix and match. This allowed us to take the outputs of the mics and connect them directly to a single OBS mic source. This 100% did all that Voicemeeter was doing for us, and the results were also the same.

We do not experience echo, overlap, feedback, or any of the issues we were having by adding the two mics separately in OBS. Our issue was NOT the setup, as some people focused on here. As soon as we got the mics going into that same input, all was good and we successfully ran a recording session 100% in Manjaro.

In the end, this did everything we wanted from Voicemeeter + MORE, as I can now isolate different outputs as well. So for instance in recordings I can manage the volume of discord and the background music separately. So this was an amazing solution and the result was exactly what was needed, and ultimately was much easier than Voicemeeter.

Thank you to those here that recommended it, and the people at the Manjaro forums.

I've just created an OBS audio capture device, then opened qpwgraph and put both mic's into it.

It should do what you want, but I am not sure that will fix the problem. Give it a shot and let us know.

I definitely recommend playing around with easyeffects a bit more as well.

100% what worked for us, and I got the recommendation from Manjaro forums as well. Thank you!

Try using audacity/tenacity with each mic on one stereo channel, press recording and like the output to OBS.

[Announcement] Secrets of the Atlas Additional Boss Kill Event


Secrets of the Atlas Additional Boss Kill Event


Due to the networking issues causing Europe and some regions in Asia to be unstable and getting disconnected we will be running a SECOND pinnacle boss race event later in the league once we have addressed the problems or can be certain there won't be disruptions to this degree.

The entire prize pool will be awarded again (the same prizes too) on top of the current event, we will clarify how this will work exactly in a follow up post once we can schedule a date.

We will make sure this is run later to give everyone enough time to get practice and familiar with the content so that it can be as fair as possible and will let people know in advance the date.

To confirm, the existing event will continue and the prizes will still be valid so that the efforts of the unaffected players are not in vain.





[Announcement] Mercenaries of Trarthus - Renown


Since the Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas reveal last week we've continued to make changes to the Mercenaries league. One such change is the introduction of the Renown system. We've made a quick video for you to checkout but if you'd prefer to read it at your own pace we've included that too!

As you defeat Mercenaries, you will gain Renown among the Trarthan arrivals to Wraeclast. Successfully defeating a Mercenary will push you up one rank of Renown, to a maximum of three, whereas either losing or backing out of a fight will cost you one rank.

Backing out means that you speak to a Mercenary, view their gear and skills, then walk away and never fight that Mercenary. Returning to them in the same area will allow you to fight them without penalty. Only leaving and never returning to fight them will cost you Renown as they will spread the word of your cowardice amongst the other Trarthans.

For each rank of Renown that you have, you have increased odds of encountering Infamous Mercenaries, who come from far and wide to test their mettle against you.

Infamous Mercenaries are tougher fights, but have better Rucksack loot, are equipped with more powerful rare items, always have at least one unique item equipped and are the only source of Infamous modifier items.

As we mentioned in our FAQ post, you will also encounter Infamous Mercenaries more often in maps with higher numbers of modifiers, to reward you for making the content more difficult.

To spot an Infamous Mercenary, keep an eye out for this fancier golden border, as well as the prefix "Infamous" before their archetype!

Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposes


Greetings,

I recently setup my own NetBSD server to learn more about selfhosting and Unix. I am sharing it with anyone who also want to learn about command line and server stuff and will be also providing mentorship ( not an expert but know enough to at least teach begginers).

stuff I can teach using that server:
- basic command line
- how to host stuff like static HTML pages
- ssh concepts
- hosting http alternative like Gemini, Gopher etc
- scripting in Bash, Python etc

so yeah, if you think you or someone else is interested in learning NetBSD share this post with them 😀

( again this is just for begginers only please don't sign up if you are already an expert or intermediate )
( this is my mail alias I put to avoid spammers so don't be afraid of it sawura19.zofeta41@murena.io )

Why would Cuba even want to trade with the US? They have full trade access to every other country in the region. The US market would only harm Cuban culture and overrun their economy.

Claiming that Cuba would be doing so much better, if only they had more access to US markets, is disingenuous Capitalist propaganda.

in reply to Archangel1313

The problem, until recently, was that SWIFT was basically the only game in town for doing international settlements. On top of it, the US having been central to the global economy, most countries did not want to risk secondary sanctions by trading with Cuba. Today, that's finally changing with the rise of BRICS as a bigger economic bloc, and new trade options becoming popular as a result of the trade war between Russia and the west.
