Setting up a file server can be intimidating to the uninitiated. There are many servers to choose from, and then you need to decide how to install it — Docker? Kubernates? Well, what’s …Hackaday
I've literally never felt like I needed a file server to be easier and support more protocols, and this seems like it's trying to do way too much at once. HTTP is beautiful and convenient but as a bespoke javascript-heavy API it's really not a particularly great way to manage files, FTP sucks and if you still need it for something you need to re-evaluate your life choices, TFTP is useful in extremely niche applications that I wouldn't want to hook my entire file server up to anyway and certainly don't want running along side these other options, WebDav is fine but again really only necessary in niche applications which you don't need or want your entire file system hooked up to (or if you don't know how to VPN) and this doesn't seem to support SFTP/SSHFS which is what I would consider a modern standard for a secure file transfer protocol.
Just use Samba and/or ssh, every Linux distribution comes with packages for them. Both are widely used and battle-hardened, and between the two they are compatible with almost everything. You don't really need all that other stuff.
In some ways it’s the inverse of the UNIX Philosophy: instead of doing one thing perfectly, this program is doing everything [9001] could think of, and doing it “good enough”.
As a believer in the UNIX philosophy (armed with an understanding of why it is fundamentally useful) it horrifies me that either developers or users think this is a good thing.
I'm not sure if this would fall under the definition of "skill issue", but I've never had any luck getting Samba to work on even a local network.
This may be the same argument at "immutable" distros, having an environment where the user cannot fuck it up will be the best way to spur adoption rates, and eventually ambitious users will use more granular methods like you described.
I probably will use this.
As US climate data-gathering is gutted, Australian forecasting is now at real risk
This year, Australia has experienced record-breaking floods, tropical cyclones, heatwaves on land and in the ocean, drought, coral bleaching, coastal erosion and devastating algal blooms. Over the past five years, insured losses from extreme events have risen to A$4.5 billion annually – more than double the 30-year average.But even as damage from climate change intensifies, political change overseas is threatening Australia’s ability to track what’s happening now, and predict what will happen next.
The United States has historically been a world leader in earth observation systems and freely sharing the gathered data. Sharing of data, expertise and resources between scientists in the US and Australia makes possible the high-quality weather, climate and ocean monitoring and forecasting we rely on.
But this is no longer guaranteed. Under the Trump administration, key US scientific institutions and monitoring programs are facing deep cuts. These cuts aren’t just cosmetic – they will end essential data gathering. Australia has long relied on these data sources. When they dry up, it will make it much harder for scientists to look ahead.

Amazon Union Leader Chris Smalls Detained & Beaten by IDF, But US Media Ignores It

Chris Smalls, the former Amazon Labor Union president who led the first successful U.S. union drive at Amazon's Staten Island warehouse in 2022, was violently detained by Israeli forces on July 26-27, 2025, while participating in a Gaza aid mission"When he reached the Israeli prison, U.S. human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals," the Freedom Flotilla Coalition announced. "They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back"
Smalls was aboard the Handala, an aid ship attempting to break Israel's blockade of Gaza, when Israeli Defense Forces seized the vessel and detained its crew. As the only Black person among the 20 detained activists, Smalls faced notably harsher treatment
The U.S. government failed to contact any of the seven American citizens aboard, while other countries like France, Spain and Italy reached out to their detained nationals. According to Palestinian American attorney Huwaida Arraf, who was released due to her Israeli citizenship, the activists refused deportation and began a hunger strike
"I'm thinking of Chris Smalls. And about how, because he's Black, no Greta Thunberg, no celebrity, no darling of the liberal class, he might not make it out alive," wrote author Camonghne Felix
While smaller unions condemned Smalls's detention, the Teamsters union remained silent despite having recently affiliated with the Amazon Labor Union.

How the EU-US trade deal extends beyond economics
Europe's reaction to the EU-US trade deal was rather muted, with France and Hungary heavily criticizing the agreement. Experts say the deal may have geopolitical ramifications and continue Europe's reliance on the US.
Note: this article affirms some of the theories & views on the the "why's" of the deal
Key takeaways bullets, which are paraphrased later on:
- Security guarantees Europe (Ukraine)
- Dependency energy, weapons,chips
- Geopolitical, common threat China.
Europe needs to become more self-reliant, yes, unfortunately, today we are not there yet. This event showcases the need to work for more Intra EU co-operation, innovation and streamlining.
"Meanwhile, Brussels emphasizes that the deal goes beyond the economy. "It's not just about trade. It's about security. It's about Ukraine. It's about current geopolitical volatility," EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic in Brussels said on Monday.
He told reporters that while he couldn't go into all the details of the talks between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump, he could say for sure that they were about more than just trade. For him, it is a big plus that the two biggest economies and closest allies are on the same page when it comes to the geopolitical issues of today.
"Elvire Fabry, Senior Research Fellow at the Jacques Delors Institute, finds it difficult to even describe the recent talks as negotiations. She argues that the EU's hands were tied due to its dependence on security guarantees from the US. According to Fabry, the framework conditions would have been entirely different if the EU had not needed US support to help defend Ukraine in its war with Russia."
"AI chips and weapons "shows Europe's continued reliance on the US in other ways." Buying from the US is the "best of bad options" for the EU, she says, and makes it clear that Europe has not achieved strategic autonomy."
He said the US has the same issues with China in many areas. "So it goes without saying that we should work together with our allies."
I would argue "we are not there yet" is exclusively the fault of the EU public.
The fullscale invasion happened 3.5 years ago, that's more than enough time to begin large scale rearmament and production capacity enlargement. Especially since the impotency of American centre-right is not a secret.
Not to mention russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008 and beginning of the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 (for which Merkel rewarded the russians with Nord Stream 2).
And if you want a common policy and decision making process, you have to make sure that the participants have a common interests. The Hungarians should have been kicked out of the EU and NATO a long time ago.
would argue "we are not there yet" is exclusively the fault of the EU public.
The citizens have a responsibility, for sure, as do Politicians (see Brexit and/or Nato enlargement). The many cirises that EU needed to face off, also took some of the focus away.
I think the important part is that we have started to move in the right direction, and are gaining momentum, but still Europe is a slow Giant, and things take time.
If we citizens and politicians can work together towards one shared plan, that would definitely speed things up But I'd rather not underestimate internal political divisions, fear, greed, foreign malicious influences and some moral or financial corruption.
Though, then again, I believe in the end, we are strong enough to muddle through these hurdles.
I hope it too because, I don't want Ukraine to fall and I believe it won't; and
2. you are right,if Ruz doesn't fall though I believe they will, we are next.
Technically Europeans (& USA) are already in a warsituation ofcourse. And as China and NK pump up their supplies to Ruz, it's become a broader partly silent and open war.
Critics in the US are equally if not more worried about their economy, concerning the proposed EU-USA deal.
I believe this meme says it all ( POV USA):

Taiwan president scraps Latin America trip amid reports the US opposed stopover in New York
The Taiwanese government insists Lai Ching-te’s visit was delayed due to domestic issues, including natural disasters and tariff negotiations
Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te will delay an expected trip to his country’s remaining allies in Latin America, amid conflicting accounts of the reason for the postponement.
Lai was expected to travel to the Americas next month, as his government seeks to shore up support in a region where many countries have cut diplomatic ties in favour of relations with China, which claims Taiwan as its territory.
Amid reports that the Trump administration had opposed a proposed stopover by the president in New York, his government said Lai had no overseas travel plans due to domestic issues, including natural disasters and tariff negotiations with the United States.

The Fed is expected to hold rates steady as Trump pushes for a cut
The Federal Reserve has so far resisted Donald Trump's aggressive pressure campaign to throw inflation concerns out and attempt to boost the U.S. economy with lower interest rates.
That's expected to continue Wednesday, as the central bank is expected to leave interest rates unchanged. If so, that’s likely to annoy Trump, who is already reshaping the global economy with his tariffs.
The Fed’s rate setting committee began its two-day meeting Tuesday. Market projections and analysts expect it won't cut its key rate.

It's important to remember that Powell himself does not set the rates, it's decided by a committee which he is currently the chair of. I feel like this fact is absent from much of the news I read/hear surrounding Powell & Fed interest rates.
From MSN:
Powell chairs the central bank’s eight annual meetings. But the other 11 voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, get an equal say on each Fed rate decision via a majority vote.
Also important:
the Fed’s four no-cut calls so far this year have been unanimous.
I realize that the chair is an important role, but am I missing something that replacing 1 person would change the interest rate voting outcome?

While that's correct, I think you're ignoring how much sway a figurehead can hold.

The Role of AI and Big Data in Modern Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical Engineering is a specialized branch of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials, such as soil and rock, and their interaction with man-made structures. Engineers in this field analyze the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the ground to ensure the stability and safety of construction projects. Their work is essential for designing foundations, retaining walls, slopes, tunnels, and other infrastructure that must withstand natural forces like earthquakes, landslides, and erosion. By applying principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics, geotechnical engineers help mitigate risks and optimize construction methods for long-term durability.
One of the key responsibilities of geotechnical engineering is conducting site investigations before construction begins. This involves soil sampling, laboratory testing, and in-situ measurements to assess ground conditions, such as bearing capacity, settlement potential, and groundwater levels. Advanced techniques like geophysical surveys and computer modeling are also used to predict how the soil will behave under different loads. These evaluations help engineers recommend appropriate foundation types—whether shallow (e.g., spread footings) or deep (e.g., piles or caissons)—to support structures safely and economically.
Geotechnical engineers also play a crucial role in addressing environmental and geohazard challenges. They design solutions to stabilize landslides, reinforce embankments, and prevent soil liquefaction during earthquakes. Additionally, they work on projects involving landfills, contaminated site remediation, and coastal protection systems to minimize environmental impact. With climate change increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, their expertise is becoming even more vital in developing resilient infrastructure that can adapt to changing conditions.
The field of geotechnical engineering continues to evolve with advancements in technology and materials. Innovations such as ground improvement techniques (e.g., soil stabilization with geosynthetics or grouting) and real-time monitoring systems enhance the precision and efficiency of geotechnical projects. Collaboration with other engineering disciplines ensures comprehensive solutions for complex challenges. As urbanization expands and infrastructure demands grow, geotechnical engineering remains fundamental to building safe, sustainable, and cost-effective structures on and below the Earth’s surface.

EU fails to agree Israeli suspension from research fund over Gaza
A European Commission proposal to deny Israel partial access to the EU's €95 billion Horizon Europe research fund failed to garner the necessary qualified majority support when EU ambassadors met in Brussels on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
Both Germany and Italy said they needed more time and would let the EU know if they come to a different position in the coming weeks, according to two sources familiar.
The Netherlands, Ireland, France, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Portugal, Malta and Spain all supported the Commission's plan with several saying they would also push the EU for stronger sanctions, potentially in trade, the sources said.
The Commission's motion to suspend Israel's participation in Horizon is in response to an EU report finding the country had breached human rights obligations in the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

Netanyahu has stated that Israel will move to annex parts of the Gaza Strip if a ceasefire agreement with Hamas is not reached
Soo, this basically is a guarantee that no actual cease fire will ever happen.......
It's still upsetting that the west in general still fails to challenge the government of Israel's narrative when it comes to any "cease fire". First of all, a cease fire generally implies that both sides are still engaged in hostilities. When in reality a cease fire in this scenario is more of the offer of the cessation of a genocide, which they could do unilaterally at anytime.
Secondly, there was already a "cease fire" deal where Hamas returned hostages and Israel failed to stop hostilities and never released their hostages. There is no reason to assume Israel is ever going to negotiate with any sort of good faith, and it should be called out to by anyone within reaching distance of a microphone.
Israeli ambassador to UAE being sent home over 'undignified' behaviour at bar: Report

...
In 2023, Haaretz reported that Shelley personally responded to an Israeli visa inquiry by a Brazilian woman. He told her in correspondence and in video chats that she needed to meet him in person before he would help her obtain a visa to visit Israel.

“When I turned on the camera, I saw he was lying on the bed, sweating,” the woman recounted. “He said he’d just returned from a walk. It was very inappropriate. I asked him if he’d rather talk later, and he said, ‘No, let’s talk now.’ He asked to meet with me in person and invited me to dinner in Brasilia. I felt pressured and harassed.”

Meanwhile resistance fighters inflict significant losses to Israels invasion forces in Khan Younis and other places, as the rubble provides similar if not better cover for infantry.
EDIT: See for instance an Israeli tank/troop transporter being blown up, as a fighter moved through the rubble and threw an explosive into the open hatch of the armored vehicle.
This lesson was learned by the Nazis already in Stalingrad, yet another similarity between then and now. mwi.westpoint.edu/urban-warfar…
While the Luftwaffe tried to resupply the 6th Army the Soviets now went on the offensive, the intensity of fighting within the city becoming more violent. Hundreds of “shock groups” consisting of fifty to a hundred soldiers broke into small groups to fight as highly lethal and lightly armed infantry-engineer squads of three to five personnel, moving swiftly and silently throughout the rubble or “hugging” the Germans near the frontlines to avoid the effectiveness of German airpower and artillery. Dozens of snipers took advantage of the destruction to find nearly perfect firing positions. Snipers successfully killed hundreds of German soldiers, providing a psychological boost to the Soviets while lowering German morale tremendously. Soviet tanks were used in a way that would unnerve armor crews of today: instead of being used for maneuver they were dug deep into the rubble, camouflaged, and used as pillboxes, their carefully prepared positions remaining unseen until they fired the first shot from just a short distance away. These tactics took a devastating toll on German personnel and vehicles over the following months.
So either the "most moral army in the world" and "most powerful army in the Middle East" is too incompetent to know about one of the most famous battles of the 20th century, or it is yet another piece of evidence that Israels goals was never to destroy Hamas, but to genocide the civilian population of Gaza.

Russia rages at Norway over fishing sanctions
“The rules for Norwegian ports are determined by Norwegian authorities,” Oslo says as Moscow summons a diplomat for a scolding.
The Kremlin summoned Norway’s chargé d'affaires in Moscow on Tuesday to protest what it described as "unlawful restrictive measures" imposed by Oslo on Russian fishing vessels operating in Norwegian waters.
According to a statement from the Russian foreign ministry, the protest was lodged in response to restrictions by Norway targeting vessels belonging to the Russian firms Norebo and Murman Seafood, which operate in Norway’s exclusive economic zone under a 1976 bilateral agreement on fisheries cooperation.
On July 7 the Norwegian government announced it would join EU sanctions adopted in May and place both companies on its national sanctions list, citing concerns over espionage and the risk of future sabotage. The move in effect superseded the 1976 deal and removed the firms' vessels from Norwegian waters, drawing swift condemnation from Moscow that it was "politically motivated."
