Intel Reveals Possible Baltic Sea Provocation Against Russia by Ukraine and UK
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - An attack on a US Navy ship with an allegedly Russian torpedo is one of the scenarios of anti-Russian provocations in the Baltic Sea, prepared by Ukraine and the United Kingdom, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said on Monday.
"The Ukrainians together with the UK are currently preparing provocations in the Baltic Sea. One of the scenarios involves staging an alleged Russian torpedo attack on a US Navy ship," the SVR said.
Ukraine has already begun handing the Soviet/Russian-made torpedoes over to the UK, the SVR said in a statement.
"The Soviet/Russian-made torpedoes have already been handed over by the Ukrainian side to the UK. It is planned that some of them will explode at a 'safe distance' from the US ship, while one will not explode and will be presented to the public as evidence of Russia's 'malicious activity," the statement read.

Covering a lot of elevation in a short span, this #hike has you wrap around the sheer wall face before ascending to the large bald above the Athabasca river valley. While moderate, the 2k ft gained in less than 2 miles (3.4 total) leads to some steep sections. Hiked 5/11/25
The view to the west towards Jasper from the viewpoint on top of Morro peak.
A nice viewpoint if you can stand it as you wrap back down along the cliff face. While steep and loose, the trail here is four feet wide so it's easy to look away from the open drop below.

गाजा गोलीबारी: भोजन वितरण केंद्र के पास इजरायली सैनिकों ने की गोलीबारी, 37 फलस्तीनियों की मौत
Gaza News: गाजा में सोमवार को गाजा गोलीबारी की ताजा घटना ने एक बार फिर मानवीय संकट को उजागर किया। इजरायली सैन्य नियंत्रित क्षेत्र में भोजन वितरण केंद्र के पास हुई गोलीबारी में कम से कम 37 फलस्तीनी मारे गए। गाजा स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय के अनुसार, 33 लोग भोजन केंद्र तक पहुंचने की कोशिश में मारे गए, जबकि चार अन्य जगहों पर हताहत हुए। प्रत्यक्षदर्शियों ने बताया कि सैनिकों ने भीड़ को नियंत्रित करने के लिए गोलीबारी की, जिससे भगदड़ मच गई।
बार-बार हो रही हिंसा
11 जून को भी ऐसी ही एक घटना में 36 फलस्तीनी मारे गए थे, जब इजरायली सेना ने राहत सामग्री लेने की कोशिश कर रहे लोगों पर गोली चलाई। गाजा ह्यूमैनिटेरियन फाउंडेशन के सहायता स्थलों के पास अब तक 200 से अधिक लोग मारे गए और 1600 से ज्यादा घायल हो चुके हैं। इन केंद्रों को इजरायल और अमेरिका ने हमास द्वारा सहायता चोरी रोकने के लिए शुरू किया था, लेकिन संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने इसे अप्रभावी बताया है।
भुखमरी का संकट
इजरायल की नाकाबंदी और सैन्य कार्रवाइयों ने गाजा को अकाल के कगार पर ला खड़ा किया है। खाद्य सामग्री, दवाइयां और बिजली की कमी ने लाखों लोगों का जीवन संकट में डाल दिया। एक स्थानीय निवासी ने कहा, “हम भोजन के लिए जान जोखिम में डालते हैं, लेकिन गोलीबारी हमें रोक देती है।” संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने चेतावनी दी है कि बिना तत्काल सहायता के भुखमरी से बड़े पैमाने पर मौतें हो सकती हैं।
अंतरराष्ट्रीय अपील
संयुक्त राष्ट्र के मानवाधिकार प्रमुख वोल्कर तुर्क ने गाजा गोलीबारी की निंदा करते हुए युद्ध समाप्त करने की अपील की। उन्होंने कहा कि फलस्तीनियों पर हो रही हिंसा अस्वीकार्य है। गाजा में अब तक 50,000 से अधिक लोग मारे जा चुके हैं। इजरायल का कहना है कि वह हमास को निशाना बना रहा है, लेकिन नागरिकों की मौतें चिंता का विषय बनी हुई हैं। अधिक जानकारी के लिए संयुक्त राष्ट्र की वेबसाइट देखें।
Bazzite won't display to my external monitor
Hello there.
I’m a newbie to Linux and am still figuring everything out. I posted here a few days ago and you fine folks helped me with a problem. Now I’m in need again.
I decided to distro hop a little bit just to see what I like best, and am currently testing out Bazzite since I mostly use my PC for gaming at the moment and heard that one’s a good one for gaming. I’m using a laptop hooked up to an external monitor right now. After installing Bazzite I was asked what I wanted to do with the external monitor. Since I never use my laptop screen, I chose the option to only display on the external monitor. Unfortunately that didn’t seem to play nice, and now my laptop screen is black (obviously) but the external monitor is saying no input anymore. It accepted the input up until making that choice. Now I can unplug the monitor and use the laptop screen just fine, but my setup makes that quite annoying, plus I want to use my monitor obviously. The biggest problem is I can’t adjust the monitor settings without the monitor plugged in, and I can’t see anything with the monitor plugged in. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I’ve never faced it before in my years of using windows, and I didn’t have this problem in Mint either. I don’t really want to reinstall, but I will if I have to. If anyone knows of a solution without reinstalling I’d appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
[NYT Opinion] Our Bridges Are Old, Our Grid Is on the Fritz and Soon America Will Be Obsolete
archive.is/ymSbq#selection-441…
CW For a lot of liberalism
By Jigar Shah and Raj Pannu
Mr. Shah is a co-host of “Open Circuit,” a podcast on the energy transition. Mr. Pannu is the C.E.O. of Emergence Creative, an advertising agency dedicated to social impact.
Most Americans don’t think about infrastructure unless it fails. But when it does, it’s personal. When subways stall or highways clog, you’re late for work. When a bridge closes, your commute reroutes into chaos. When the storm drain overflows, your basement floods. And when transmission lines fail, the power goes out, leaving homes sweltering, grocery shelves empty and businesses offline.
Weak infrastructure makes your life just a little bit worse.
The United States is sleepwalking into an infrastructure crisis — one that will quietly degrade our quality of life and kneecap our ability to compete in the global economy. It’s not just the older infrastructure that’s in need of repair and replacement; it’s also support for the new systems, such as artificial intelligence.
The crisis calls for a national recommitment to modernization — not as a partisan project, but as a precondition for global competitiveness, national security and basic dignity in daily life. And while responsibility ultimately lies with Congress, it’s also with all of us who understand the stakes.
Today, the average U.S. bridge is over 40 years old, and about 42,000 of them are structurally deficient. Our ports are among the least automated in the industrialized world, leading to higher costs and dangerous pollution in nearby communities.
And America’s grid is stretched thin. In the wintertime last year, about two-thirds of the country faced elevated risks of blackouts, according to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. We can’t move electricity from areas with excess capacity to where it’s needed because we haven’t built enough transmission lines. And in a world increasingly powered by machine intelligence, if your power goes out, your economy goes offline.
The demand for electricity is rising fast. Training a single large-scale A.I. model now requires as much electricity as a large, urban American neighborhood uses in a year. Data centers, which power everything from those language models to advanced simulations, are projected to consume about 10 percent of the U.S. electricity supply by 2030 — up from around 2 percent today. A new report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation finds that these facilities are an emerging threat to grid stability because they pull huge amounts of power at unpredictable times. The grid wasn’t built for this. Unless we expand energy generation and build out transmission aggressively, the lights will start to flicker on our future prosperity.
Shaky infrastructure isn’t just a problem for the tech sector. As the United States scrambles to bring back manufacturing, the infrastructure undergirding it is nowhere near ready. More than 920 new or expanded manufacturing facilities have been announced since 2021, projects to make semiconductors, electric vehicles, batteries, critical minerals processing and other components here at home.
For a moment, it seemed like America was serious about modernizing its infrastructure: The Biden administration tried to accelerate permitting, improve transmission planning and unlock hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding for upgrades. There was real momentum.
Since then, the repeated brinkmanship over government funding and debt ceilings — and short-term budget deals that gut long-term investments — have thrown these gains into limbo. Funding for key offices at the Department of Energy and Department of Transportation have been delayed. The House of Representatives’ proposal to rescind billions in clean energy tax credits and claw back unspent Inflation Reduction Act funds has further chilled investor confidence.
Developers are pausing contracts, and clean energy projects, which help improve the resilience and efficiency of our energy system, are in limbo. According to E2, a nonpartisan group representing business leaders, more than 13,000 clean energy jobs have been lost since the beginning of 2025, largely because of delays and uncertainty. Billions in investment have been held back as projects have stalled. The result? Momentum is lost — possibly for a long time.
The new budget reconciliation deal before the Senate makes these infrastructure bottlenecks worse. It strips away hard-fought gains made under the Biden administration’s agenda — delaying transmission reform, gutting support for fast electricity deployment and muddying the waters for public-private investment. The signal to industry is clear: America can’t make up its mind.
All this is happening while our rivals are building fast. China will spend $138 billion on A.I., robotics and smart infrastructure as part of its “Made in China 2025” plan. Europe is modernizing its ports, roads and digital networks to stay competitive.
Upgrading the infrastructure that underpins American competitiveness should start with the grid. A national transmission strategy must be a cornerstone of economic policy to integrate clean energy generation, large-scale batteries and flexibility. Without it, we can’t move power where it’s needed when it’s needed, and our most promising technologies will die.
We also must ensure that American innovation stays on American soil. Federal investment should focus on scaling technologies invented here, such as advanced nuclear reactors, clean ammonia production, critical minerals processing and next-generation battery chemistry. They are the industrial building blocks of a clean, resilient future, and without strategic government backing, they will be built elsewhere.
Finally, the permitting process, which requires the coordination of federal, state and local agencies, needs to reflect the urgency of the moment. Projects that cut emissions, lower costs and build resilience shouldn’t be forced to wait a decade for approval. Streamlined, sensible permitting reform is essential to unlocking private capital and accelerating deployment.
The infrastructure investments of the past four years represent the most significant progress since the Eisenhower era. But they are neither guaranteed nor permanent. If Congress and the Trump administration don’t act now, we won’t just cede economic advantage. We’ll see energy costs spike, more frequent power outages and investors pushing their companies to scale up in Asia. America will be left with 20th-century tools in a 21st-century world and will once again be left buying back its own inventions.
Industrial Socialism - by William Haywood & Frank Bohn, 1911 (Full Book)
A short and well written book (about 60 pages) that encapsulates the ideas of socialism quite well in a plain and easily understandable manner, with the issues of 1911 mirroring our current predicament well.
Excerpt:
When the worker gets his first job the world about him takes off its mask. He sees it as it is. Hours are long and most work is monotonous. Any child or young person naturally very much dislikes this first harsh experience of the world of the working class. His games and fun-making are given up. His physical growth is stunted and his mind dwarfed more or less. Long ago nearly all of the young men who went to work for wages began by learning a trade. This trade was very often extremely interesting to them. It educated their minds and developed their bodies. If they were apprenticed at eighteen, then, perhaps at twenty one, they were sure of steady work and good wages. Today very few of the working people learn a trade. They work in some factory, store or office at tasks which they perform as well in a month as they do in ten years. If the young wage earner is vigorous in mind and body he revolts at this labor and makes a desperate struggle to secure an education or otherwise make it possible for himself to rise out of the working class. The stronger and healthier his body and the keener his mind, the harder does he fight. But he finds, except in very rare instances, that the doors of opportunity are closed to the children of the >workers.If the young worker learns one of the trades which still remain in modern industry, he finds after he has learned it that it also is being abolished by the invention of new machinery. He may go to night school and complete a course of study, or take a correspondence course in mechanics or some other form of applied science. If he does he will discover that his knowledge, gotten at such sacrifice of time, savings and effort, will not raise his wages. There are now so many educated poor people that their pay is on the average much less than that of skilled workers in the trades. Another hope of the young workers, men and women, is to save money and start in some small business. Others have risen and become wealthy. Why not they? So, by giving up all pleasures, by overwork and pitiful economies, does the young worker make his start in business. If he has been fortunate enough not to lose his money through some bank swindle, he at last, after years of effort, tries his luck. The best data we have show that more than nine-tenths of those who engage in small business fail utterly. The small portion who "succeed" do so by working night and day, Sundays and holidays. Even they make but meager livings, no better on the average than the wage-workers.

I didn't call it, but there's nothing quite like a war to distract the population from rampant decline at home.
This one is weird though, Iran is allied with Russia. Israel is allied with the US. Historically, this made sense.
But Trump and Putin playing war together would benefit both of them. It allows Putin to pull out of Ukraine because "Iran provided us much help and they need us now." And it allows Russia to maintain the war economy. It benefits Trump because he wants to play war.
Neither leader would have any actual skin in the game, it's just people's lives that would never contribute in another meaningful way to their power.
I don't like this. This is feeling more 1984 than 1984.
Edit: I like this even worse after I read the specifics of the KC-135R and KC-46A. Each can carry about 200,000 lbs of additional fuel. A single F-15E can hold 13,000 lbs internally. 30 KC-135Rs can refuel an entire F-15E 460 times. Israel has 7 KC-130H (60,000lbs) and 7 Boeing 707s (which is what the KC-135 was based on). This isn't just escalation, this is staging for invasion.

Is Matrix cooked?
In today's episode of Kill The Messenger, Matrix co-founder Matthew Hodgson reveals how full of bullshit is the writer of the original article.
The messages were published in the Office of the Matrix.org Foundation room: matrix.to/#%2F%21sWpnrYUMmaBrl…
paper.wf/alexia/matrix-is-cook… is fascinatingly incorrect
Until the 6th of November 2023 when they—in their words—moved to a different repository and to the AGPL license. In reality, the Foundation did not know this was coming, and a huge support net was pulled away under their feet.fwiw, the Foundation had a front-row seat in the fact that Element (as incorporated by the folks who created Matrix) had donated $$M to the Foundation over the years, but wasn't going to survive if it kept giving all its work away as apache-licensed code - which in turn would have been catastrophic for the Foundation.
Yes, the high expenses for the Matrix.org homeserver are largely because they are still managed by Element, just not as donated work but instead like with any other customer.nope, Element passes the hardware costs (and a fraction of the people costs) of running the matrix.org server to the Foundation without any overheads or markup at all.
Either way it shows that Element is seemingly cashing in on selling ,Matrix to governments and B2B as a SaaS solution without it going back to the foundationElement has literally put tens of millions into the foundation, and is continuing to do so - while some of the costs get passed to the Foundation, Element donates a bunch too (e.g. by funding a large chunk of the Matrix conference as the anchor sponsor, and by donating time all over the place to help support trust & safety etc)
At the same time I can't help but think that this could have been prevented. Even Matthew himself recognizes that putting the future on Matrix on the line with VC funding and alike was not the best idea for the health of Matrix.No, even Matthew knows that Matrix would never have been funded without routing the VC funding from Element into... building Matrix. We tried to fund it originally purely as a non-profit, but failed (just as it's a nightmare to raise non-profit for the Foundation today even now that Matrix exists and is successful!). If you need to raise serious $ for an ambitious project, you either need to get lucky with a billionaire (as Signal did with Brian Acton) or you have to raise on the for-profit side. Perhaps it would have have been best for Matrix to grow organically, but I suspect that if it did, it would have failed miserably - instead, it succeeded because we already had a team of ~12 people who could crack on and jump-start it if they could work on it as their dayjob; the team who subsequently founded Element.
Ultimately, for-profit companies will do what makes them profit, not what's the best option. Unless the best option happens to coincide with making the most profit.No, Element is not profitable. Nor is it trying to maximise profit. Right now it's trying to survive and get sustainable and profit-neutral (i.e. break-even) - while doing everything it can to help keep Matrix healthy and successful too (given if Matrix fails, Element fails too).
Unfortunately, supporting the foundation through anything more than “in spirit” and a platinum membership is out of their budget, apparently. I think that morally they owe a lot more than that.wow.
the FUD level is absolutely astonishing, and I really wonder what the genesis of this is
so, absolutely, spectacularly, depressing
this, my friends, is why we can't have nice things.
In response to an other person suggesting that the publisher is also known as a reasonable person on the platform:

Jellyfin assistance
Hello,
I yet again come, hat in hand, for assistance from those wiser in the ways of the Linux. I’m having a bit of an issue downloading Jellyfin on my ElementaryOS laptop. I’ve tried all the guide on the first few pages of ddg only to receive errors after entering the comman “ sudo apt-get update “. I get ERR:3 https//repo.jellyfin.org/debian circle Release 404 Not found.

Docker is a virtualization platform, similar to setting out a Virtual Machine but a lot less resource intense. You need to:
- install docker on your machine
- Start/enable the service (this is usually done automatically on most user friendly distros, and if you're using one that doesn't I expect you to know how to do it)
- Add your user to the docker group
That's it, docker setup done, now you need to write a compose file, i.e. something that tells docker what do you want to run, usually you get a working example on any project website, and linuxserver.io is a great site for them too, for example for Jellyfin can be found here: docs.linuxserver.io/images/doc…
Just create a folder, create a file called compose.yaml there and put that content in it, now run docker compose up -d and congratulations you have a working Jellyfin server.
With time you'll learn what the compose file is doing, for example the ports map ports from the docker to your machine, volumes does the same, so for example the example has /path/to/jellyfin/library:/config if instead you write ./config:/config a folder called config will be created on the same folder the compose.yaml file is and inside the docker it will be mounted as /config which is where Jellyfin will look for configurations. In the same manner you can add /home/myuser/Movies:/Movies and inside docker you will be able to see the contents of /home/myuser/Movies when scanning the /Movies folder.
jellyfin - LinuxServer.io
[Jellyfin](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin) is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media.docs.linuxserver.io
Op please don't ignore the above.
Learn docker once and you'll be able to install almost anything, rather than having to learn every individual app and how it installs on specific operating systems.
So, Jellyfin is one of those apps where the Docker documentation is really lacking. I'm gonna give you my docker-compose.yml file in case it helps:
services:
jellyfin:
image: jellyfin/jellyfin
user: 0:0
restart: 'unless-stopped'
ports:
- '8096:8096'
environment:
#- JELLYFIN_CACHE_DIR=/var/cache/jellyfin
#- JELLYFIN_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/jellyfin
- JELLYFIN_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/jellyfin
- JELLYFIN_LOG_DIR=/var/log/jellyfin
volumes:
- ./config:/config
- ./cache:/cache
- ./data:/var/lib/jellyfin
- ./log:/var/log/jellyfin
- /data/jellyfin:/data/jellyfin
devices:
- /dev/driFor me
/data/ is my RAID array, which is why my jellyfin data directory is there. Everything else goes in the same directory as the compose file. My system has a graphics card that does transcoding (Arc A380), so I have /dev/dri under devices.You should learn a lot about Docker Compose, because it will help you tremendously. I use Jellyfin behind an Nginx Proxy Manager reverse proxy. I'd highly recommend it. Here's my compose file for that:
services:
app:
image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: "host"
#ports:
# - '80:80'
# - '81:81'
# - '443:443'
volumes:
- ./data:/data
- ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencryptRunning in "host" mode is important, instead of just forwarding ports, because it lets you forward things to localhost, like pointing
https://media/.[mydomain]/ to http://127.0.0.1:8096/ for Jellyfin.Anyway, best of luck to you, and I hope that helps!
After that
apt update and retry. If it doesn’t work you can also try replacing it with „noble” but the you might also need to replace debian -> ubuntu, but that’s just my guess
UK police working with controversial tech giant Palantir on real-time surveillance network
The Nectar project offers 'advanced data analysis' using a wide range of sensitive personal informationA controversial US spy tech firm has landed a contract with UK police to develop a surveillance network that will incorporate data about citizens’ political opinions, philosophical beliefs, health records and other sensitive personal information.
Documents obtained by i and Liberty Investigates show Palantir Technologies has partnered with police forces in the East of England to establish a “real-time data-sharing network” that includes the personal details of vulnerable victims, children and witnesses alongside suspects.
Trade union membership, sexual orientation and race are among the other types of personal information being processed.
The project has sparked alarm from campaigners who fear it will trample over Britons’ human rights and “facilitate dystopian predictive policing” and indiscriminate mass surveillance.
Numerous police forces have previously refused to confirm or deny their links with Palantir, citing risks to law enforcement and national security. However, forces in Bedfordshire and Leicestershire have recently confirmed working with the firm.
Liberty Investigates and i have learned that those projects involve processing data from more than a dozen UK police forces and will serve as a pilot for a potential national rollout of the tech giant’s data mining technology — which has reportedly been used by police forces in the US to predict future crimes.

Sure, it’s a moon I captured on a slightly hazy night, but I wanted to really test out my tripod and telephoto lens and capture something my cell phone would just repeatedly fail at. Ended up going with a one-second shutter after a two-second timer so my hand wouldn’t mess with the tripod balance, and with ISO 100, I had a long enough window to capture good detail on the moon, at least as much as my 75-300m f/4-5.6 telephoto lens would allow. There’s bigger lenses that do more daring stuff, but this one is mine.
Thanks for seeing some really big sky cheese!

Looking for feedback on 5-week degoogling plan
I created a 5-week degoogling plan PDF based on the steps in my book DISENGAGE: Escape the Leash of Big Tech, Scams and Surveillance—Everyday Resistance for the Digital Underdog.
Before I finalize and post it to my site, I'd love some feedback from people who have degoogled or are in the process of doing so.
The final package will be a single PDF, and I've pasted images of the pages below. The final infographic has a link for each product. Please don't worry about formatting issues, I'll get those fixed. But in general, I'm wondering.
- Does this seem motivational/doable?
- Are the tips clear?
- Is there anything that is now incorrect? I wrote the book originally two years ago and updated it in February, so some of my suggestions may already be out of date.
- At the bottom I mention that full instructions for each step are available in DISENGAGE, which is a free book. Is that enough? Or should I instead either note which chapter/page to look at for each step, or directly include links to instructions/tools online?
- The infographic at the end...is it weird to be sideways? I created it a while ago and don't want to have to redo it to fit the orientation. I could offer that separately, OR I could redo the whole PDF to be landscape instead of portrait (which I don't love).
- I'm thinking of turning this into a group challenge (also no cost). If there's enough interest, it could be the checklist, the book, and a Signal group (maybe with a weekly call). I don't know nearly everything about the topic, but I did degoogle myself, and everyone in the group/on the call can share questions and suggestions. What do you think of this idea?
Thanks!
Is Internet Content Too Engaging?
By targeting design rather than content, lawmakers hope to regulate social media without constitutional roadblocks. Here’s why that’s a problem.
