UN chief warns Israel, Russia over reports of sexual abuse by armed forces


In his annual report to the UN Security Council on conflict-related sexual violence, Guterres said that Israel and Russia could be listed next year among the parties “credibly suspected of committing or being responsible for patterns of rape or other forms of sexual violence”.

In his warning to Israel, Guterres said he was “gravely concerned about credible information of violations by Israeli armed and security forces” against Palestinians in several prisons, a detention centre and a military base.

“Cases documented by the United Nations indicate patterns of sexual violence such as genital violence, prolonged forced nudity and repeated strip searches conducted in an abusive and degrading manner,” Guterres wrote.

In the case of Russia, Guterres wrote that he was “gravely concerned about credible information of violations by Russian armed and security forces and affiliated armed groups”, primarily against Ukrainian prisoners of war, in 50 official and 22 unofficial detention facilities in Ukraine and Russia.

Western “democracies” will still support the genocidal Israeli regime no matter how many reports come out detailing the atrocities it commits. Hell, the most powerful “democracy” has a rapist pedophile leading it. They won’t let their Zionism and dehumanization of Palestinians be dissuaded by such pesky concepts like ethics or humanity.

Serving a simple website from a Jail with Bastille


In this short little howto we will be setting up a simple Jail via Bastille and host a static website. Beware: The article assumes that sudo is configured. You can of course also use doas or switch to root, if you so desire. Some commands need root right

In this short little howto we will be setting up a simple Jail via Bastille and host a static website.

Beware: The article assumes that sudo is configured. You can of course also use doas or switch to root, if you so desire. Some commands need root rights to work – keep that in mind as you go along!

First, we need to install Bastille itself.
$ sudo pkg install -y bastille
After installing, we enable the bastille service.
$ sudo sysrc bastille_enable=YES
And finally we start it.
$ sudo service bastille start
The next step on the list is to acually alter the bastille config to adapt it to our needs. Beware that in this guide I assume that you’ve installed FreeBSD with ZFS – or that you have a ZFS pool on hand that we can leverage. By default FreeBSD calls this pool zroot (Which can be altered during the install of FreeBSD). If you do not use ZFS be sure to not alter the variables below – the default is not leveraging ZFS.

Edit the configuration file.
$ sudo vim /usr/local/etc/bastille/bastille.confbastille_tzdata="Europe/Berlin"...bastille_zfs_enable="YES"bastille_zfs_zpool="zroot"...
In my case, as you can see, I’ve adapted the timezone and set up ZFS for the coming Bastille Jails. Be sure to alter the timezone according to your needs.

Next up is creating a loopback interface.
$ sudo sysrc cloned_interfaces+=lo1$ sudo sysrc ifconfig_lo1_name="bastille0"
Start the newly created interface after creating it.
$ sudo service netif cloneup
Now we can move on to the bootstrap phase. The following command will get the newest release (As of this time) and prepare the environment.
$ sudo bastille bootstrap 14.3-RELEASE update
Alright, with that done we can create our first Jail.

The command given will create a Jail named “web” and give it the IP address of 10.0.23.60. Also specifying the interface after the IP address is important.

Note: Be sure to alter the given address to your own needs!
$ sudo bastille create web 14.3-RELEASE 10.0.23.60/24 vtnet0
So far so good. Check if the Jail is created with the “list” option to bastille.
$ sudo bastille list
If the output shows our newly created Jail called “web” we are good to go.

Now we want to enter our freshly created Jail to continue the setup.
$ sudo bastille console web
First, let’s install pkg and update the repository.
# pkg# pkg update
Next we’ll install the needed software (Webserver) to host our website. We also install a editor – pick the one your prefer (In this example we’ll use vim).
# pkg install -y lighttpd vim
Enable Lighttpd and start it afterwards.
# sysrc lighttpd_enable="YES"# service lighttpd start
We could now configure Lighttpd to our needs and change quite some settings. But in the interest of keeping it simple we will use the default configuration for now. If however you want to change things you can always take a look into the configuration directory which can be found under /usr/local/www/lighttpd (Multiple config files).

By default Lighttpd serves the directory /usr/local/www/data (Document Root). This is where we will put the needed files of our little website.

But, the directory “data” is not yet created. So let us just do that.
# cd /usr/local/www/# mkdir data# chown www:www data
Make sure the owner is set correctly since Lighttpd will by default leverage the user www and group www.

Final stretch ahead. Let’s cd into the directory and clone a simple website from git – After installing git of course.
# pkg install -y git-lite# cd data# git clone github.com/jhx0/bsd-website.gi… mv bsd-website/* .
Our frehsly cloned site should now be moved into the data directory.

The only thing left to do is opening your webbrowser of choice on our client system and navigation to the IP address previously configured.
$ firefox 10.0.23.60
Finsihed!

Beware: This is a default setupThere are many ways to improve this!
Look into the configuration of Lighttpd, esp, considering security related alterations.

Have fun everyone.

Stay Open!



Streamio whilst traveling


Hello me hearties.
I have a question about the Streamio app/Service.

I travel full time and with all the paid streaming services requiring a 'home' IP address I'm now looking for alternatives.

Streamio seems to fit the bill, however I have one question. Although I will be streaming to one or maybe 2 devices, I would probably like to use REAL DEBRID, But, Can I use different IP addresses, for example, one week I might be in Japan, the next week I'll be in Thailand.

In my case would it be best to purchase my own private IP from a VPN provider?

Any advice would be awesome.!
Thank you

in reply to mrmule

This might be of use?

stremio-addons.net/addons/aios…

"AIOStreams consolidates multiple Stremio addons and debrid services into a single, easily configurable addon. It allows highly customisable filtering, sorting, and formatting of results and supports proxying all your streams through MediaFlow Proxy or StremThru for improved compatibility and IP restriction bypassing."

I use this addon, but not for the proxy stuff.

in reply to mrmule

Do not use Real Debrid and use TorBox, do not make problems with IPs as explained here:
support.torbox.app/en/articles…

I use it and now it works very well, first I used Real Debrid.

Paul Attwell is the partnership's team manager and said the blaze, which started at Holt Heath near Wimborne in Dorset on Saturday morning, was "horrendous".



Rare Sowerby's Beaked Whale washes up in Norfolk


A Sowerby's Beaked Whale, a poorly known deep sea species, has perished after washing up on a beach in Norfolk.

The animal was found in The Wash near Holme-next-the-Sea on Wednesday 6 August by a member of the public, who alerted it to British Divers Marine Life Rescue. By the time a BDMLR representative arrived at the scene, the whale had died, according to Wild Ken Hill on Facebook.

The whale was found to be a female. At this time of year females move south from Arctic breeding grounds – and it may be that this individual was with a young animal.

Google will now let you pick your top sources for news search results


Google is making it easier to see news from your favorite outlets. A new feature, called “preferred sources,” will let you choose the outlets you want to see featured the most in Search’s “top stories” section.

Google’s top stories hub appears when you search for something related to a current event, and displays a bunch of relevant articles from around the web. Along with prominently featuring articles from your preferred outlets in the top stories list, Google may also include them in a new “from your sources” section. Google first started testing the preferred sources feature in June, and now it’s rolling out to users in the US and India.

in reply to Dr. Moose

This used to be a thing iirc. Then too many advertisers were getting "don't show results from this source" and Google nixed it.

Well, yes and no. If you can choose your media sources, then you avoid accidental drifting (trust me, I’ve accidentally drifted before, almost ended badly)

Can't Log in to User on Linux Mint Cinnamon (Loops Back to Login Window)


cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/34365607

Hi fediverse,

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on an issue that means I can't access the main user account on my Linux Mint (Cinnamon) operating system.

Context:

I'm using a dual boot setup of windows and mint on my laptop.
I use mint (or used to, when I could access my user) for pretty much anything that doesn't require things* only my windows instance has. (*things such as support for video games that support windows but not linux, for example)

When creating my main user account, I made a mistake in the username. It was irritating enough for me to want to change it, and as doing so seemed like it should have been fine, I settled upon three guides and ended up (mostly?) just following this one:

linuxuprising.com/2019/04/how-…


I cant remember all of what happened anymore, but I have the following screenshots, along with the stuff I do remember.

(note: red blocks represent the new username, blue blocks represent the old username)




At the used-by-process error, I first tried following the guide precisely, then hoped that "PID" was Process ID, and that the guide expected me to put the ID that usermod stated after "PID", and tried doing that.

Idk if that fvcked something up...

Then I guess I fixed that somehow, idk if I did so by restarting and logging in only as tempuser, or if I had already done that and fixed it some other way.

Anyway I meant to run each line of the command separately to avoid stuff going wrong, but accidentally did both at once. I hoped it'd be fine anyway.

Then stuff happened I guess.

Anyway,

I cant remember much more but I know that I tried to log back in as my main user account and I found out that:

  1. The username had been successfully changed.
  2. I could not log into my main user account.

Imputing the correct username and password was successful, and acted like it was logging me in as usual. Then after the usual black screen, it just throws me back to the login window.

This still happens.

I went through a fair bit of internet searching, followed some advice. All that most people were saying was to check how much disk space you have left - and to not keep timeshift snapshots on the same drive as your OS.

(this is one such post, and (I think) the only one I found that I definitely recognise from the previous searching: reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comment…)

I did ctrl-alt-f1 and ran df -h, and deleted most of the timeshift snapshots I had (I think I had maybe 6 and deleted 4 or 5).

Here's the output of df -h that I think is from after I deleted the timeshifts:

Idk what to do, hope someone can advise.

(TL;DR: tried to change username on mint, now whenever I try to log in to the user it throws me back to the login window after the usual black screen. Hope this suffices for a summary...)

in reply to DuckyLoco404

Check permissions on your home folder. Make sure everything is owned by your new username.

I had a separate partition mounted on /home on my old system. I remounted the same partition at /home on the new system, and got the same bootloop issue. The problem was that the old permissions were for 1001:1001, not (newuser):(newuser). Had to log into a TTY and chown (newuser):(newuser) -R /home/(newuser) to get everything working.

I tried logging in with tempuser and remembered that I have no idea how to access the files on my main user. In the file manager the home folder for said user isn’t accessible, and I assume that’s because I set it to be encrypted when setting it up. Thus I can’t access the files to copy them over to a new user or anything. Also, I assume I wouldn’t be able to rename the homedir as such, and don’t know where to start checking or changing user settings and permissions and such.
in reply to DuckyLoco404

First, check if you can login, with your new user, on the Linux console (i.e. Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F7). If you can, the username change probably went through correctly. Report back if you cannot login via console or you get warnings/errors.

Your login session does automatically terminate if the session process for Cinnamon exits, booting you back to GDM (or whatever login manager you have). So probably the Cinnamon session process, started by GDM, craps out for some reason. The reason is probably, I suspect, that it cannot access or cannot find some file it wants to open.

Check ~/.xsession-errors, it might tell you what went wrong.

Also check the permissions of your home folder, the files in your home folder, and check if you correctly set up the symbolic link from /home/olduser to /home/newuser as the guide suggests.

My kid is 3 but this has been a big issue on my mind lately. I’ve read The Anxious Generation, The Screentime Solution, and The Art of Screentime over the past 9 months (with some other tech-adjacent books). My husband has also recently had a turn-around on tech for kids. I think our big thing is no personal devices for the little one for a long time. Family computer in a common area. Family cellphone that can be used when she’s not with us. Family tv in the living room. Family iPad that is used for specific tasks.
