Vance Boelter’s CV touts his "emotional intelligence"

Exclusive: Accused Minnesota Assassin’s Resume

Washington (AFP) – US President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a senior US official told AFP Sunday.

"We found out that the Israelis had plans to hit Iran's supreme leader. President Trump was against it and we told the Israelis not to," said the US official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Earlier Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dodged a question about reports that Trump had asked his country not to kill Khamenei.

"I'm not going to get into that," he told Fox News.

"But I can tell you,... we'll do what we need to do, and I think the United States knows what is good for the United States," he said.

The comments came as Israel and Iran exchanged another barrage of missiles Sunday, with residents told to seek shelter as booms were heard over Jerusalem, and aerial defense systems reportedly activated in Tehran.

After decades of enmity and a prolonged shadow war fought through proxies and covert operations, the latest conflict marked the first time the countries have traded fire with such intensity, triggering fears of a lengthy conflict that could engulf the entire Middle East.

It began Friday, when Israel launched an attack that has killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists, and struck military bases, nuclear sites and residential areas across the country.

As Israel struck targets across Iran again on Sunday, Netanyahu vowed to make the country pay a "heavy price" for killing Israeli civilians.

He also strongly suggested to Fox News that Israel had killed Iran's intelligence chief Mohammad Kazemi, saying it had recently "got the chief intelligence officer and his deputy in Tehran" as its jets carried out raids over the capital.

Trump has insisted that Washington, a strong ally of Israel, "had nothing to do" with Israel's bombing campaign.

But he also threatened to unleash "the full strength and might" of the US military if Iran attacked US interests, later urging the two foes to "make a deal."

Trump stressed to ABC News Sunday that the United States is "not at this moment" involved in the military action, but said it was "possible we could get involved."

He also said he would be "open" to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin being a mediator to resolve the conflict.

Hello,
I just wanted to share my story regarding having a domain with Njalla using ProtonMail/SimpleLogin's services.

TLDR (full story below): You may not be able to send emails from your domain with ProtonMail/SimpleLogin if your domain is registered with Njalla (or any other "privacy-friendly" domain registrar).

Full-story:

I had a domain with Njalla (njal.la) for a couple of years, and at the same time, I was using this domain with ProtonMail (to send emails from my domain) and SimpleLogin (catch-all aliases with my domain). I never had any issues during the last few years until recently:
- A few months ago, beginning of 2025, I suddenly wasn't able to send emails from my domains/aliases: They were rejected ("Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender") because I was listed on Spamhaus (a service which lists domain reputation, check.spamhaus.org). I contacted Proton's support, and they advised me to reach out Spamhaus directly to resolve this issue. I was able to request a delisting of my domain "automatically" (through a form), and a few days later, my domain had been "automatically" delisted and I was thus able to send emails again.
- A month ago, my domain has suddenly been re-listed on spamhaus, again. This time, I wasn't prompted with the automatic delisting form like the first time. I had to contact through a form Spamhaus and I had to write a small text requesting to be delisted and explaining to them how I was not using my domain for spamming/scaming/bulk email sending/etc... This time, spamhaus refused to delist my domain because my domain was considered as an Internet neighbourhood with “poor reputation” that has shared (or inevitably will share) its negative reputation. (...) The domain is not eligible for removal while being associated with this neighbourhood. We recommend moving your domain to a hosting network with good reputation.. I was talking with Njalla's support and ProtonMail's support at the same time, and they basically both told me that there is nothing they could do. I was basically forced to transfer my domain to a new domain hoster provider. And not any other domain hoster, but one with a "good" reputation (when I asked if transfering to 1984 (1984.hosting/), a privacy-friendly domain provider, Spamhaus discouraged me to do so.

To sum it up, by having your domain with any privacy-friendly service (like Njalla, 1984, ...), there is a chance that your domain will be listed on Spamhaus, preventing you from using your domain with ProtonMail/SimpleLogin.

I find it ironic from Proton, as they even encourage using Njalla/1984 in one of their blog article: proton.me/blog/professional-do… At the end, I'm a bit pissed by Spamhaus's behaviour and also ProtonMail for using such services.

Here are screenshots of my discussions with ProtonMail, Njalla and Spamhaus support if anyone is interested enough in reading the whole discussions: postimg.cc/gallery/phgVK4M

Just wanted to share my story to help other people know about this issue and the issues they might encounter with ProtonMail based on their DNS provider choice.

While it’s true no president or political leader has ever used social media quite as prolifically as Donald Trump, no recent secretary of defense has ever weaponized X or any other platform, quite like former Fox & Friends weekend host, Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth is actively reshaping the Pentagon in his own image since taking over, prompting a social media policy that has taken a dramatic turn towards supporting Hegseth’s every move and public appearance.

Part of that has been the resurrection of the Pentagon’s so-called “rapid response team”. Originally the name of a public relations brainchild of former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld to combat what he saw as Iraq war disinformation, the new team seems to have a similar mandate according to its X account: “Fighting Fake News!”

Dutch prosecutors have allegedly dismissed multiple criminal complaints involving Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters after surveillance footage from Amsterdam’s metro system—potentially key evidence—was discovered to have been deleted due to equipment replacement and short retention policies, according to NOS.

The Public Prosecution Service (OM) confirmed it has dropped two separate investigations into violent incidents involving Maccabi supporters that took place around a match against Ajax in November last year. The incidents occurred in the metro system, where confrontations broke out between groups of supporters and counter-protesters. Footage that could have supported the allegations was reportedly not preserved, the OM said Sunday.

Transport company GVB acknowledged that the video recordings were lost because recording devices were replaced on November 12—five days after the unrest in the city. "Unfortunately, this necessary replacement, combined with a limited retention period, resulted in the footage no longer being available," a GVB spokesperson said. The company added that although the standard retention period is one week, recordings are sometimes saved for less time.

Jan-nano is a model fine-tuned with DAPO on Qwen3-4B. Jan-nano comes with some unique capabilities:

• It can perform deep research (with the right prompting)
• It picks up relevant information effectively from search results
• It uses tools efficiently

The model was evaluated using SimpleQA - a relatively straightforward benchmark to test whether the model can find and extract the right answers.

Jan-nano outperforms Deepseek-671B on this metric, using an agentic and tool-usage-based approach. A 4B model obviously has its limitations, but it's interesting to see how far these things can be pushed. Jan-nano can serve as your self-hosted Perplexity alternative on a budget.

Hello all,

I'm having some issues that probably stem from lack of education on computers, so if some kind soles out there can give me some assistance I'd very much appreciate it.

My immediate goal is to take all my torrent data from my MacBook qbittorrent (latest version) to my old laptop that I just loaded ElementaryOS on. This way I can have my files seeding at all times instead of when I have my mac up and running. I have all the actual media on a external SSD so I don't have to or want to redownload all the torrents on the Elementary pc.

I've done some basic reading but all the articles and youtube vids I see are just migrating from one windows to another windows machine. Duplicating the data in the app data and drag and dropping it. I've even seen the recommendation to have the same version of qbittorrent to make the swap easy. Now my under educated mind is confused on going from Mac to Linux since its a completely different OS and therefore a different "version" of qbit. I imagine its possible but I'm feeling out of my depth.

I'd really love if someone can point me in the right direction if they can.

That included Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange that donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee in January. The following month, Trump’s Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed a lawsuit against the company.
