What do you self host, how, and why?
How in terms of "how did you do it" i.e. a guide a wiki etc. How to you maintain it? How do you provide security and how do you maintain it? Do you host on bare metal at home? Do you use a cloud service? If the former, how do you connect to it when you aren't at home?
I realize that's a lot to ask, but I have some down time and want to hear everyone's full viewpoints
‘Immense’ pro-Palestine march to cross Sydney Harbour Bridge as police prepare for five-hour shutdown
cross-posted from: aussie.zone/post/23257570
Pro-Palestine protesters will be legally protected while marching across the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Sunday after a New South Wales supreme court decision.The bridge is expected to be closed for about five hours, from 11.30am, and additional police are being mobilised to observe a march that could include up to 50,000 people.
In her judgment, Justice Belinda Rigg said “the march at this location is motivated by the belief that the horror and urgency of the situation in Gaza demands an urgent and extraordinary response from the people of the world”.
“The evidence indicates there is significant support for the march.”
50,000 seems a bit on the small side for a Sydney Harbour Bridge march. Hopefully there will be many many more than that.

Hamas Wants Gaza to Starve [Please first read, then comment]
By Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib
E: Please read the article before commenting.
Hamas Wants Gaza to Starve
Starvation only helps Hamas end the war in a way that advances its aims.Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib (The Atlantic)
The article says that Hamas wants Israel to starve Gazans, it doesn't say that Israel doesn't starve Gazans.
It literally says Israel uses hunger as weapon (against Hamas and against –or at least not caring about– civilians): "Hamas has benefited from Israel’s decision to use food as a lever against the terror group, because the catastrophic conditions for civilians have generated an international outcry, which is worsening Israel’s global standing and forcing it to reverse course."
E: You partly approve the article yourself and I'm aware of the fact it's Israel committing the genocide.
Not I nor the article have said that Israel isn't committing genocide. The only thing said is that Hamas profits by it and that Gazans are furious about looters and the Hamas. I don't understand why so many people downvote this, claim I would be paid, claim I would deny the genocide or write 6 comments where 1 would be enough, if not you want to deny Hamas is a terrorist organization which only cares about its own survival.
So why did Hamas agree to a ceasefire in March which Israel broke?
Why is Hamas bending over to accept ceasefire conditions? You are spreading Zionist blood libel and genocide propaganda.

A lot of the security fixes since spectre have focused on exploiting speculative execution (a key CPU performance feature) to cross security boundaries. Defeating speculative execution when switching from user to kernel space (for example) adds a lot of overhead.
The new kernel add controls so that machines that don't need to worry about these exploits to disable the performance killing fixes.
I get the concept. Title is written so badly that's really unreadable make no sense and confuses even people who know a bit on the subject.
The word "land" should be relaces, because it stck with controls and lose its meaning. Also, repeating control again adds to the mess.

multi boot - Hibernating and booting into another System or Distribution: will my filesystems be corrupted?
Short answer is: yes, as soon as more than one OS mounts a file system in read-write mode.
The kernel of a modern OS (I am generously including Windows here) caches file system data structures in memory. When you hibernate the computer, the content of that memory is written into a large file because that speeds-up a later restart.
Now, if you boot up another OS, and modify these partitions (without mounting them read-only), you alter the file systems data structures. That happens already when you view folders because this modifies access times stored in the inodes.
When you now shut down the second OS, and resume the first OS, the restarted kernel will have and use cached file system metadata which id loaded from the image into the kernel, that does not match that of the files on disk. And this causes file system corruption by definition.
like this
No, I mean hibernate, with the PC turned off. In sleep state, you return to the running kernel/OS, so no possibility to boot into another distro, therefore no risk of filesystem damage.
The crucial thing is that file systems need to be unmounted before they can be accessed by another distribution or OS.

How often do I have to buy a new pixel if I fully degoogle with GrapheneOS? A support question
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/34045100
still deciding to fully degoogle with GOS or muddling through with what I have (proprietary, data grabbing and bloated).To understand the question, compare with my main hardware with debian on it: a regular notebook I bought in 2016 and I've used heavily for all kinds of stuff: working, writing papers, downloading and playing media including AV1, editing audio, torrenting...
One of the best investments I ever made, considering what I paid and how prices nowadays are. Debian offers regular upgrades and I don't have to check if my hardware is going to support the software on a level comparable with android devices (GOS only runs on pixels, other open-source, privacy focused Android operating systems have similar hardware restrictions).
I want this kind of ROI for the device I buy and the software I use, but I don't know if that's possible:
GOS drops support for older pixels but I don't know how many years any particular device is supported by GOS: 3 years? not enough. There's no way I'm buying a new pixel every 3 years. I'd even consider 6 years restrictive.

Changes according to the new UK, USA, EU laws?
So, im kinda curious ~~(preocupied)~~, regarding how is the feddi-verse standing in regards to this new threath to freedoms and privacy in general. To the point in which some of us are seriously considering leaving the "clear" net altogether in favor of freenet, tor (even if already kinda compromised by the feds), etc.
So... what now?
Ik, but even then is better than having' no privacy at all. I got kicked from my first university for participating in protests regarding the "grape" of a student by a faculty member, i was one of the unlucky ones selected to be "examples", hell its even a law now that all protest are illegal and reason to inmediate expulsion.
So yeah, liberty and privacy, nothing less.

NEW YORK CITY, July 25, 2025 — As part of an International Day of Action, more than 1,000 people rallied in front of the United Nations (UN) headquarters here today to demand “Stop Starving Gaza Now!”The rally, and subsequent march through midtown Manhattan, were organized by the local chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), with the support of many partner organizations. Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) played an important role as it was asked by PYM to mobilize its members and hold down a picket line prior to the start of the rally.
Protesters were urged to bring pots & pans, noisemakers — and their rage.
Signs and banners were welcome, especially those emphasizing ending the Israeli siege and the starvation of Gaza.

The U.S. Advances Its Dystopian Plan to Destroy China
The “phase 0” campaign of disinformation and sowing division has already been going on for decades.
Just last week, the Hudson Institute (which has received millions from the U.S. Department of Defense) held a conference to discuss the collapse of China’s government and released a 128-page document outlining the plan. The document is heinous and dystopian, outlining a gradual invasion of China through clandestine information campaigns, cultural and psychological restructuring, military intervention, and an overall manipulation of the soul of China from the shadows.Phase 0 will begin before the collapse. U.S. Special Operations Forces will use psychological and political warfare to sow division between the government, the military, and the people—the government has already funded billions of U.S. tax dollars to do just that. They plan to twist narratives to undermine China’s history, exploit trauma, and mock the CPC through information campaigns. Phase 1 will go into play after China’s collapse, which is U.S. occupation in everything but name. U.S. forces will be deployed to China’s cities and embedded into China’s military. A new puppet government will adhere to the whims of U.S. leaders. Anyone sympathetic to the CPC will be “controlled” while U.S. forces conduct action raids to secure nuclear weapons. And finally, Phase 2 will attempt to rewrite national consciousness by installing a U.S.-approved version of history. They will create a “Voice of China” modeled after the “Voice of America,” the people will be re-educated about the evils of communism, and a “sad but transparent” period of national mourning will pave the way to a new China shaped entirely by the United States.
The rest of the document outlines how to precisely target China’s facilities, restructure China’s financial system to suit U.S. interests, secure assets, restructure the military, and conduct a “reconciliation” campaign. At the end, the document mentions an imaginary, arbitrarily drawn line across China separating East from West, and discusses potentially splitting or partitioning territories. It also considers name changes for China, such as Taiwan or the Chinese Federal Republic.
The document is as Orwellian as it sounds, written by “experts” such as Miles Yu, Ryan Clarke, and Gordon G. Chang. Chang is one of the most frequently cited “China experts” in the U.S., but he’s not an expert so much as a propaganda mouthpiece. He has built an entire career out of making bold, spectacularly wrong predictions about China’s collapse, all while reinforcing U.S. imperial talking points.

Running a business/working in 2025
How do I make money - self-employed - without using corporate social media?
I was coasting along on an extremely minimal income and I embraced an ethical position of using only privacy-compatible technology.
I subsequently had a wonderful little person come into my life who has made me want to have more material capability & flexilibilty. And so I have turned to trying to sell my skills again.
By refusing to use to use corporate social media to promote my services, I am handicapping myself in getting work.
I also struggle to bring myself to cooperate with powers which are working to undermine my child's opportunity to have a good life.
Would appreciate your thoughts

First, congratulations on the new family member.
Not knowing exactly the nature of your entrepreneurial skills, I have found good success with meet n' greet, press the flesh as it were. Some businesses need a lot of advertising, some don't need any. Join your local Chamber of Commerce or Business Association. Keep your ears open. Treat every interaction as an opportunity to grow your business.
For example, I am getting along in years so farming 20 acres got to be a bit much for one old guy. I started leasing acreage to other local farmers mainly for growing silage. I was at one of our local farmer's market one day and by chance overheard/eavesdropped a conversation a small group was having. They were talking about looking for small plots of land that they could all go in on together and have a communal garden. You help with the labor, you get a share of the grow type of thing.
So I approached them and listened to them talk and suggested that I may have the solution they were looking for. Long story short, I now have four, one acre plots that I lease to locals for their communal gardens. I provide the pipe stand for a water supply with bib to split off different watering troughs and I plow the plot for you. All you have to do is work the soil, grow your veggies, and profit.
So basically now, I have positive cash flow with moderate to minimal work. I still maintain a one acre plot for my personal grow but in all honesty it's far to much for just one person to eat. I usually donate most of that to local food banks in town. Which is another good thought to keep in mind. We all get help along the way in life. No one is self made. Pay it forward. Give something back to the community local to you.
American Nurse Who Tried to Save “No Other Land” Activist Was Detained and Deported by Israel
Israel detained and then deported an American nurse who tried to save the life of Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist who worked on the Oscar-winning documentary film “No Other Land.”
After Israeli settler Yinon Levi allegedly shot and killed Hathaleen on Monday in Umm al-Khair, a village in the occupied West Bank, the critical care nurse gave Hathaleen four rounds of CPR. She cradled his head in her hands, checking his pulse and whispering “You’re OK,” as he bled out, the nurse told The Intercept. The medical worker asked not to be named because they fear for their safety. Hathaleen was then taken away in an ambulance, where he died before reaching the hospital.
Soon after, on Monday evening, Israeli law enforcement officers detained the American nurse and an Italian citizen on the scene. The authorities took them to a police station, where they were detained for nearly 24 hours. In detention, the nurse said they recognized five Palestinians from the village sitting on the ground, blindfolded and zip-tied. At the same time, the nurse said, Levi was walking around freely and sharing cigarettes with the police officers — “no handcuffs or anything.” After reporting as ordered to another police outpost, the nurse was deported on Thursday to Jordan.

if you use GrapheneOS on a pixel device, is it something you'd recommend for a privacy worried user? How seamless is running it after install?
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/34022186
I own 2 bloated proprietary devices and don't use them for anything important, like banking or dealing with authorities. I also don't trust the manufactures not selling my data.Id like to have a working device with no bloatware and completely degoogled. Ironically I'd have to buy something made by google to run GrapheneOS on it. Intended use would be to use as a camera, to run CoMaps on it, pkpass files with foss-wallet, reading epubs, making phone calls and running one aurora app.
I don't need the device to play games, watch movies, show off or to play loud music, but I'd like a jack port for my headphones (I assume google headphones would cease to work if I degoogle the device, nor would I want to spend more than necessary enriching that data grabber even more.
Is there a pixel device with a jack port?
Are batteries inside pixel devices glued to the frame or can they be easy to change?
My main OS is debian. How easy is to transfer data from GrapheneOS to debian and the other way round?
Overall if you run GrapheneOS on a pixel, how many years running it and what do you think about it?
Headphone jack:
Get a USBC adapter
Batteries:
Not easy to change, check out ifixit
Debian <> Pixel data transfer:
USB, or Wireless across any protocol you can imagine.
My experience with GOS:
Contactless payments and some QR code payment methods from banking apps in my country refuse to work with GOS.
Otherwise, I love it. Very easy to install and use. Recommended.
