Billy Bragg - Tooth & Nail (2013)
Come già in parte è avvenuto con Mr. Love and Justice, anche in Tooth and Nai, Billy Bragg abbandona il suo “essere” cantautore militante politico e sociale in favore di un suono e quindi di un risultato molto più riflessivo e intimo. E' evidente che in questi cinque anni di silenzio ha maturato esperienze personali, uno sguardo, un vissuto e un riequilibrio interiore che probabilmente negli anni passati aveva lasciato in stand-by. Una sfera “bragghiana” mi si passi il termine, non nuova quindi ma sicuramente più profonda e matura. Lo si sente subito fin dai primi brani a cominciare dalla voce che, come non mai, raggiunge vertici di espressione notevoli... artesuono.blogspot.com/2014/10…

Exclusive: US embeds trackers in AI chip shipments to catch diversions to China, sources say
SINGAPORE/NEW YORK, Aug 13 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities have secretly placed location tracking devices in targeted shipments of advanced chips they see as being at high risk of illegal diversion to China, according to two people with direct knowledge of the previously unreported law enforcement tactic.
The measures aim to detect AI chips being diverted to destinations which are under U.S. export restrictions, and apply only to select shipments under investigation, the people said.
Five other people actively involved in the AI server supply chain say they are aware of the use of the trackers in shipments of servers from manufacturers such as Dell and Super Micro, which include chips from Nvidia and AMD
Those people said the trackers are typically hidden in the packaging of the server shipments. They did not know which parties were involved in installing them and where along the shipping route they were put in.

Facial recognition vans to be rolled out across police forces in England
Under the plans, 10 live facial recognition (LFR) vans will be used by seven forces across England to help identify "sex offenders or people wanted for the most serious crimes", according to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
The tech, which has been trialled in London and south Wales, will be subject to strict rules, the Home Office said, but human rights groups have warned it is "dangerous and discriminatory".
Amnesty International UK said the plans should be "immediately scrapped", with facial recognition proven to be "discriminatory against communities of colour".

Temperature records broken as extreme heat grips parts of Europe
Extreme heat is breaking temperature records across Europe, early measurements suggest, and driving bigger and stronger wildfires.
In south-west France, records were broken on Monday in Angoulême, Bergerac, Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion and Saint-Girons. Météo France said the “often remarkable, even unprecedented, maximum temperatures” in the region were 12C above the norm for the last few decades.
In Croatia, air temperature records were set in Šibenik, at 39.5C, and Dubrovnik, at 38.9C, while large forest fires raged along its coasts and ripped through neighbouring countries in the Balkans.
Beyond Europe, dozens of temperature records were broken across Canada, and record-breaking heat above 50C in Iraq was blamed for a nationwide blackout.

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 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 setup – There 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

"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.
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.

Wildlife team 'devastated' by Holt Heath fire animal deaths
A group that has been searching the burnt remains of a heath fire for surviving animals has said it is "devastated" by the loss of wildlife.
The Dorset Heaths Partnership is made up of 10 organisations working together to protect and enhance the Dorset heathlands
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.
