International Court of Justice judge comes out as Christian Zionist
“There are now about 30 countries against Israel… the Lord is counting on me to stand on the side of Israel. The whole world was against Israel, including my country,” Justice Sebutinde said on August 10 at Watoto Church during the launch of a new ministry for members aged 55 and above, known as Golden Legacy, where she is a member.
Speaking further, Justice Sebutinde revealed that around the time of the ruling, the ICJ was due to hold elections for its leadership, including the vice president’s position, which she sought. She said that due to the uproar over her judgment, she almost withdrew from the race but felt compelled by God to continue. “A few days before the judgment, there were going to be leadership changes. I wanted to be the vice president. On the morning of the election, your peers elect you.
She said that due to the uproar over her judgment, she almost withdrew from the race but felt compelled by God to continue. “A few days before the judgment, there were going to be leadership changes. I wanted to be the vice president. On the morning of the election, your peers elect you.
Justice Sebutinde, now serving her second and final nine-year term at the ICJ in the Netherlands, says the current crisis in Gaza was a sign of the “End Times” foretold in the Bible, urging Christians to remain vigilant.
“There is something I want to share. I have a very strong conviction that we are in the End Times. The signs are being shown in the Middle East. I want to be on the right side of history. I am convinced that time is running out. I would encourage you to follow developments in Israel. I am humbled that God has allowed me to be part of the last days,” she said.

What's a reliable filesystem for long term data archival that also supports transparent file compression?
Are you using RAID at all? If so ZFS is probably the way to go. If not I think it matters less whether you use either btrfs or ZFS.
Regarding btrfs and power loss:
unix.stackexchange.com/questio…
...btrfs is designed to only experience data loss not corruption, assuming well behaving hardware in power outage scenario. In practice ZFS has more maturity overall (definately) so may be better (my speculation).
Beyond direct comparisons if you already have on and offline backups then you are protected from power corruption and only have to worry about data loss anyway?
Does BTRFS guarantee data consistency on power outages?
As ZFS states exclusively, ZFS is claimed to be invulnerable ZFS accepts that it might be vulnerable to power failures. I couldn't find such a statement for BTRFS. Is it (or designed/planned to be)Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
I think for home archival use is btrfs is a terrible idea. I burnt myself with it so many times.
Yes it should be safe and resistant to unclean shutdowns, but my experience with reliability is not great.

Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents
Starlink operator SpaceX is fighting Virginia's plan to deploy fiber Internet service to residents, claiming that federal grant money should be given to Starlink instead. SpaceX is already in line to win over $3 million in grant money in the state but is seeking $60 million.
Starlink is poised to benefit from the Trump administration rewriting rules for the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) grant program. While the Biden administration decided that states should prioritize fiber in order to build more future-proof networks, the Trump administration ordered states to revise their plans with a "tech-neutral approach" and lower the average cost of serving each location.

Nobody’s Buying Homes, Nobody’s Switching Jobs—and America’s Mobility Is Stalling
Americans are moving at record-low rates, with only 7.8% relocating in 2023, the lowest since 1948. Families are stuck in homes that are too small or no longer suitable due to high mortgage rates, limited inventory, and skyrocketing prices. Those who have low-rate mortgages are reluctant to sell.
Workers are less likely to switch jobs or relocate for work than in previous decades. Recent grads face long, difficult job searches, often turning down offers due to low pay or lack of relocation support. Many are choosing to stay local, even if it means settling for less.
Employees with low mortgage rates, stock options, or bonus plans are staying put to avoid losing financial perks. Dual-income households and family obligations further reduce mobility.

Lidarr alternatives?
like this
Headphones I think it’s called? But lidarr has the best integration given it’s a fork.
If this is about the lidarr metadata being fucked you can try something like github.com/blampe/hearring-aid… which has its own issues but is working.
All of the arr stack developers flip their shit if you so much as suggest adding support for a custom metadata server. It is by far the biggest weakness of the stack and it is mind boggling that all the major forks have inherited this behavior from sonarr.
Lidarr shows how foolish this approach is, musicbrainz makes one change and the app is fucked for over three months now with no end in sight. Thetvdb could do this to sonarr, themoviedb could do this to radarr. Adding a method to add other database sites with api access (or even just local data) should be a priority, but they not only dislike the idea, they get mad about it. Oh well, free project, fork it if youre so great, etc etc

At this rate lidarr will have the same fate as readarr did as it seems the main focus of the servarr devs are focused on radarr and prowlarr.
The problem is they have only one person left with the keys to the metadata server and if they are busy then it’s not a priority. Which I understand as a free project but just emphasizes how bad this approach is to have just a single metadata sever.
But with that said I’m still holding out hope for Lidarr, now finding a good readarr replacement that’s another sad story.

Apparently they keep posting updates on their discord for some reason. This is the last response someone shared on github:
Hi everyone, it's July 25. Yesterday, the devs and mod team here have begun (early) alpha testing of the new Lidarr metadata server.In general, things are working fairly well. There are a few issues to resolve before it can go live. But we wanted to let everyone know that we have some concrete forward movement happening behind the scenes.
NOTE: This stage of testing is NOT OPEN to users. We appreciate your patience, but at this stage you cannot help. This update is meant to let you know that the project is not dead, as some have incorrectly theorized, and that there is behind-the-scenes work heading toward getting the new metadata server up and running as quickly as possible.
Please continue to be patient, and continue to use this channel for Lidarr support questions. If you have other conversation topics, please use general or another more appropriate channel for that.
Thank you from the devs and mod team.
like this
Yeah...I saw that update. But I wouldnt count an update from the end of July recent in any capacity.
Because this sort of message has been repeated since the beginning of July with minimal changes to the content.
It's mostly a "We are still alive and sometimes working on it".
No issues with that. It's their volunteered free of charge time they are giving for our entertainment. Which I heavily appreciate. It's just a bit annoying how little information they give out (and their, sorta understandable, tone used in their support channel).
like this
Says the official support channels, which you should be checking for information anyway, unless your only intention is to scream your frustration into the void. If that’s the case, best of luck on that resolving anything.
ETA: like I said, it’s a closed beta, so not something you can install. And it won’t be a pull request because this fix won’t require an update to Lidarr, it’ll just start working again when the new server is done.
What the devs keep getting irritated about is people coming into the Official Lidarr Branch support channels and asking for support for something the devs have no control over or ability to assist with. Keep in mind that an individual user’s Lidarr instance does not connect directly to musicbrainz - the volume of API requests generated by Lidarr would be unsustainable without subscriptions. It connects to an intermediary metadata server set up and maintained by the Lidarr volunteers.
If they add a built-in option to add custom metadata servers, people will have an expectation of support. Even a note right next to the option that states custom metadata servers get no assistance wouldn’t help much since most people can’t seem to read. Basing that on the number of people who come into the Lidarr support discord channel every single day and ask if something is wrong with the metadata server despite there being a stickied message with very bold lettering explaining the issue and its current status.
I will agree that the devs in the discord have a shit bed-side manner, though. But there’s a reason that, if this were software produced by a company, you’d be speaking to a customer support specialist instead of directly to a dev. As someone who long ago worked my way up the IT ladder out of the rage-inducing pits of user-facing support roles, I definitely get it.
like this
The issue isnt the metadata providers changing the API.
The issue is that the devs insist on implementing an API proxy/metadata mirror to lessen the burden.
Bro, just le me pull my own API key and let musicbrainz decide how much free API calls I can execute.

Is there a maintained bypass-paywalls Firefox extension out there?
Hello.
I just noticed in one of my Firefox profiles that Mozilla auto-disabled the "Bypass Paywalls" extension after removing it from their end, which apparently happened a while ago.
I don't think I ever even used this extension, which is why I didn't catch this earlier. But now that it's banned, I definitely want it around 😉
The upstream repository also got DMCA'd. The repository of a presumably alternative (or cleaned) extension is also gone, although I found some GitHub mirrors of it (how ironic).
So, is there a maintained extension upstream I should know about?

That not at all how it works. The point is that dropping bombs for the purposes of imperialism is different than dropping bombs for the purpose of anti-imperialism. The USA is the torch bearer of the globe spanning empire that they took over from Western Europe. That empire at its height dominated 80% of the world's population and to this day that empire continues to cause more death and destruction than any other movement in the world. We are now in the fifth century of this empire's existence.
The Russian Federation is not an empire and it is not imperialist. Just a few decades ago it's entire system of government and economics was completely ended and rebuilt under the dominance of the empire (described above). The Russian Federation does not occupy any colonies or subjugated territories, as the US does (Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, etc). The Russian Federation is not the continuation of a settler colonial state like the US is. The Russian Federation does not have 600 military bases all over the world where it operates without legal oversight.
Russia has done lots of bad things. All worthy of criticism. But that criticism needs to be contextualized, because while those bad things are worth analyzing and discussing, they can in no way ever be used to justify the actions of the global spanning baby killing family starving genocidal eugenicist world destroying empire.
Can you install only some programs included in the Master Collection from M0nkrus?
Note: I am not requesting a link, source, but regarding the Master Collection from M0nkrus, I am curious if it is possible to only install some of the software rather than all of them. I only want about 3~8 of them and don't need the other 16. (just Dimension, Illustrator, PS, and maybe the 5 Substance 3d apps)
I don't know if I should get them together or separately. I feel like the process might be more straightforward/less likely to run into issues if they are from the same collection, but I don't know.
Thank you.
Thank you for the advice. Get them separate just because of how few I am looking to get? I feel like there might be more setup required if I get them separately.
I also don't know if getting them separate would cause me to get redundant installers/managers/rules+patches each trying to apply the same patches.

That's probably the ID that forbids me from installing (another) speedtest eSIM, though "ID" could also refer to IMEI perhaps. I'd have to try another phone.

So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies.

While many of them still provide free food and pay well, they have little compunction cutting jobs, ordering mandatory office attendance and clamping down on employee debate. [...] “Tech could still be best in terms of free lunch and a high salary,” Ms. Grey said, but “the level of fear has gone way up.”Along the way, the companies became less tolerant of employee outspokenness. Bosses reasserted themselves after workers protested issues including sexual harassment in the workplace. With the job market flooded with qualified engineers, it became easier to replace those who criticized.
“This is a business, and not a place to act in a way that disrupts co-workers or makes them feel unsafe, to attempt to use the company as a personal platform, or to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics,” Sundar Pichai, Google’s chief executive, said in a blog post last year.

What, do you doubt him? God clearly and explicitly commands Christians to support the modern state of Israel. It’s right here in the Holy Bible; give me a moment and I’ll find the verse for you.
Aha! Got it. Exodus 20:13, “You shall not murder.”
Wait, hold on, that’s not it.
Here it is, Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers.”
Hang on, shoot, that’s not the one. What I meant to say is Lamentations 2:19, “Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.”
Ah, wrong one, lemme thumb through this a bit more. Got it! Proverbs 24:11, “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.”
Wait, sorry, no, it’s Psalm 101:7, “No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.”
Oh no actually it’s Proverbs 6:16–19, “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.”
Oops, no, it’s definitely not that one. Actually it’s Deuteronomy 27:25, “Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.”
No, dang it, that makes AIPAC recipients sound bad. Gimme a minute. Ah! Mark 12:31, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
No, wait, got it! Here it is, Romans 14:19, “Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.”
Oh no, that isn’t the one I was looking for, it was Second Corinthians 13:11, “Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.”
Oh actually that one sounds kind of antisemitic in this context, gimme a sec.
Got it! Ephesians 4:3, “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
Hold on, that’s not it either. The one I meant to cite was Hebrews 12:14, “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
Oh boy, this really isn’t going well. Lemme see… oh! James 3:18, “Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”
Gosh darn it, I made a mistake. The verse I meant to point to was First Peter 3:11, “They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.”
Wait, no, it was Galatians 5:22, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”
Actually it was Luke 6:35–36, “But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
Oops, no, nope. Man this is way harder than I thought it was going to be. Oh! Hey! Found it! It was right here in Genesis the whole time, chapter 12, verse 3: “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
There! See? It’s right there in black and white. God’s saying we are commanded to support a modern state that we created in 1948, no matter what it does. The Bible is entirely clear and unequivocal about this, and says absolutely nothing to the contrary.
Checkmate, heathen.
