Recently, my lawyer instructed me to read the original transcripts from my trial and other legal documents he sent me in preparation for my appeal. It was a reasonable request. Being able to read these kinds of legal documents helps us understand our cases and talk through details with our lawyers. The only problem was that he sent the documents to me on a flash drive, which we are generally not allowed to have at New Jersey State Prison.
The only way to access flash drives from our lawyers is to request permission to review the material in a special, private section of our law library. But it can take days to have our review requests approved — and that’s precious time when you’re trying to file an appeal.
Our prison lags way behind the times. Inside New Jersey State Prison, it’s like 1985, where we rely on out-of-date word processors, electric typewriters and floppy disks that are going extinct in the free world.
You read that right. While we can’t take flash drives back to our cells, we’re allowed to keep 20 floppy disks. I have 12 myself. But they come with a range of issues, including the important fact that our lawyers don’t use them to send us information.
That’s partially because floppy disk manufacturing ended in 2011, so there’s a finite supply worldwide. Very few places sell them. The commissary has never sold floppy disks, so I’ve had to purchase them from outside vendors.
Beyond those problems, floppy disks also get corrupted easily. After hours and hours of legal work, you can lose everything in an instant. For this reason, we try to make copies of the disks so we have backups.
And most importantly, the floppy disk has only 1.44 megabytes of memory space. A single legal brief can easily take up the memory of two floppy disks.
With so many new, efficient technologies available, we could easily do our legal work in our cells if the prison allowed it. We could use restricted laptops (without internet), or maybe even our electronic tablets, to review and work on legal documents without having to wait days for law library access.
New Jersey State Prison is one of the oldest prisons in the United States, with a sign outside that announces: “Built in 1835.” But those of us who live inside it are trying to enter the modern world, so we can reliably do the important work of advocating for our freedom.

L’altra sera non ho scritto niente a riguardo, ma quello che è accaduto è che ho rapinato un Amazon Locker… inserendo il codice eh, niente danneggiamenti. Ok, sto scherzando; in verità, con la mano diretta di mio padre (che ha banalmente piazzato il suo ordine) ho piuttosto rapinato lo Stato italiano, ordinando circa 100 euroni […]
amazzonici pacchi per un haul di letture pazzo (Sailor Moon e poca altra roba pagati dalle vostre tasse)
L’altra sera non ho scritto niente a riguardo, ma quello che è accaduto è che ho rapinato un Amazon Locker… inserendo il codice eh, niente danneggiamenti. Ok, sto scherzando; in verità, con la mano diretta di mio padre (che ha banalmente piazzato il suo ordine) ho piuttosto rapinato lo Stato italiano, ordinando circa 100 euroni di libri, per consumare i punti del bonus docenti che rimanevano e a giorni sarebbero scaduti. E però ora sono state, e a breve saranno, rogne, un pochino, perché sono veramente un botto di tavolette di carta. 🤯 Ho consumato il braccio la sera per andare a ritirare questa roba, perché, e vai a capire il motivo, da un lato gli articoli sono stati divisi in due diversi pacchi, uno gigante da 1,28 kg (e maremma bilancia…) e uno più piccolo con solo 2 volumi dentro… e, giustamente, nella busta che mi sono portata per trasportare i pacchi non c’è stato verso di farli entrare tutti e due, quindi un braccio non ha portato quasi niente e l’altro si è tirato al punto da rimanermi moscio per tutta la sera (e ancora adesso lo sento strano, ma forse avrò solo dormito stort). Tutto divertente fino a qui… e in effetti le rogne vere arrivano adesso. 💥
Per circa 60€ sono arrivati tutti e 12 i volumi di Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, che è oggettivamente una serie da avere in libreria per ogni ragazza magica che si rispetti; nonché da leggere, immagino, motivo per cui ho già iniziato il primo volume senza preoccuparmi troppo. Poi ho preso un tomone di Zerocalcare, perché essendo lui e i suoi fumetti gnam allora immagino che anche i suoi libri lo siano, e infine qualche altro tomino per arrivare alla cifra da spendere. Poca roba… o almeno sembra, per chi digerisce interi libri su base giornaliera… e invece io, mo’, come minchia me ne esco??? 😱
Io tutto sommato leggo anche tanto, relativamente alla media comune dei (decadutissimi) giorni odierni… però leggo comunque solo quando l’alternativa sarebbe fare puro rotting (a qualsiasi dei livelli del niente); quindi, se raramente magari finisco un intero volume di un manga in 1 o 2 giorni, più spesso un tomino di quelli mi dura di più… talmente di più che ho ancora un paio di cosini da parte comprati con il bonus cultura (il mio, quello) l’anno scorso che ancora non ho recuperato. Ma non è tutta colpa mia, perché nel frattempo sono arrivate altre robe, anche libri non-fumetti, e quindi ops. 😳
Vabbene però, dai, guardiamo il lato positivo: avere tutte queste letture arretrate è buono dal punto di vista che devo necessariamente posticipare il giorno in cui andrò per keepare myself safe… Almeno, questo perché i libri sono arrivati fortunatamente intatti, e quasi tutti perfetti ad un’occhiata veloce; tranne 1 volume della bella ragazza guerriera con la copertina leggermente piegata, ma si è sistemato impilandoci altri libri sopra. Quindi, stavolta sono calma, ma altrimenti per davvero mi incazzavo!!! 😈
P.S: un (1) bacino a tutti i cittadini i-ta-lia-ni! che, pagando le tasse, pagano alla ragazza magica quest’anno i manga, e due anni fa il server che regolarmente serve i frutti del mio lavoro di sviluppo magico per tutti… 🥰
We had a few days a year when lessons were suspended and students attended self organized activities instead.
An entire class decided to sneak out instead, went to a bar and some students got drunk before coming back to school. One such student went to the bathroom, zipped up his pants without properly storing his equipment and ended up requiring medical attention including some stitches.
I never met the guy or even know who he was, but the whole school was talking about it for a week or more.
In middle school, a kid got caught masturbating in study hall. I never saw him again after that. Word was that he moved away out of embarrassment. Parents probably just home schooled him or something.
In a completely different direction, my class broke the "suicide school" moniker. We were the first graduating class in like 10 years to not have a suicide.

I am looking into changing my web hosting provider, as I did not research pricing sufficiently before signing up for the one I am currently using, and I have developed a preference to avoid American companies since.
My domain is registered with a separate company, and my website is completely static and home made, so I think the move should be somewhat painless. I expect that it's as easy as signing up for another service provider, and redirecting the domain to whatever information they provide. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What I'm a little concerned about is my email at name@example.com. I'm assuming setting up a new address under the same name would be trivial under most hosting providers, but is there a good way of keeping my current emails available on the server? Alternatively, does anyone know of good options for making local backups of my inbox?
Last, if anyone has recommendations for somewhat affordable, green & European hosting providers, it would be much appreciated. I guess Hetzner is an option, but I wouldn't mind supporting a slightly smaller company if I can.

In Germany, we have the Clearingstelle Urheberrecht im Internet (CUII) - literally 'Copyright Clearinghouse for the Internet', a private organization that decides what websites to block, corporate interests rewriting our free internet. No judges, no transparency, just a bunch of ISPs and major copyright holders deciding what your eyes can see.
Recently they switched to a more public court-order based approach.
But my thought on this is as well: Once their domain name servers are configured according to law, can they force us to not use other domain name services?
Theoretically an ISP can block all outgoing queries to the DNS port 53 except to whitelisted servers, but now DNS over HTTPS exists, haven’t looked into how blockable that one is.
Germany's been doing fucked up stuff for a while. People have literally had the police visit and gotten citations for what they said online (for example calling a politician a "penis" on social media.) It's fucked.
That one at least got cleared up in court, and even the damn police was pissed to be instrumentalized by 1 Penis like that (not to mention the societal backlash). In many cases it's even legitimate to have police involved, like with wild racist deathwishes in Facebook… but they indeed went way too far in too many cases.
Surely some more Chatcontrol and big cousin Palantir will fix that, right? …right? 🫠
Specifically the person got raided on a wrong address, so actually his ex partner and child got raided, the raid came after the owner of the twitter account already had identified himself to the police and admitted to the "crime".
There was absolutely no possible investigative reason for the raid. It was purely meant to intimidate someone for an insuot that is rather mild in German language
The Clearingstelle Urheberrecht im Internet (CUII) is a private group formed by ISPs and copyright holders. They decided what websites to block, and ISPs followed, without any court ruling. No judge was involved, no legal process.
The members: The four largest ISPs in Germany and a bunch of copyright holders (the Motion Picture Association, Sky, ...). If they decided that a site should be blocked, the ISPs just blocked the domains from being resolved. This ran completely outside the courts, a private system made by corporations for censorship. Blocked sites included streaming services, but also sites like Sci-Hub or game piracy sites.
In a previous blog post, I went into detail on how we trolled them:
We leaked their secret blocklists (the list of domains was kept secret!)
We exposed dozens of wrongful and outdated blocks.
We made them unblock a lot of domains, including some that were blocked for years.
... and so much more. We just made a lot of bad press for them.
The CUII now only coordinates blocks between ISPs after a court order. That's it. No more secret votes. No more corporate censorship. The new version of their website says: "The CUII coordinates the conduct of judicial blocking proceedings and the implementation of judicial blocking orders."
Telefonica (O~2~) also blocks 4d2.org and its subdomains for (at least) their Czech customers due to "malware", and refused to undo this when I complained, although they did restore access to piefed.world when I did the same. I know I can get around this myself but what can I do to convince them about the false positive besides campaigning on social media?
Wtf it’s not even their job to protect against malware. Don’t most browsers have warning banners for known phishing and malware sites? Just let them handle it.
Their malware protection is on by default (can be turned off or dialed up to include porn but obviously there are hundreds of thousands of customers on default settings), and it's a "selling point" so the best course of action is probably to make a ruckus about false positives while keeping it on so that I can spot any others. Too bad that most client software (browsers, apps) doesn't show details of why content (such as a Lemmy post image) failed to load – the apparent error for O₂ Security intervention is "net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID" because they're doing MitM for HTTPS to show their "Access denied" page – so it seems like a server is just down until I put the URL of the resource into the address bar.
Treklit has some great offerings. The Relaunch universe books in particular developed coherent serialized storylines and a group of strong authors. There is also a deep library of standalone books from across all eras of the franchise.
By contrast, serialized Star Trek is struggling onscreen. Of the current era, only Prodigy has excelled in serialized storytelling.
So, why not look to the books? Not just to lift an idea like Control or the end of the Borg, but to actually tell a coherent narrative across a season or season?
On Netflix, Prime and Apple, it’s become established that successful streaming shows are often based on novels and novel series. Those streamers have come to understand that novelists, not scriptwriters, excel in laying out long form storytelling, and resources are often better put in having the screenwriters adapt than create from the whole cloth.
Reading a recent interview with Mick Herron, author of the critically acclaimed and popular Slow Horses on Apple, with a second show based on his other books launching this fall, I was struck by the interviewer’s assertion of this truism.
I thought about several of the non franchise shows I enjoy and how many of them are more or less faithful adaptations of books.
I was also struck by the thought that both Skydance and Paramount are quite capable of producing excellent book adaptations for Netflix and Apple. Murderbot is a very current example.
So, what’s holding back Star Trek from exploiting the Vanguard series or the Starfleet Core of Engineers books?
Why insist on giving showrunners resources to keep retelling franchise stories with legacy characters and tropes?
Why not exploit that IP that Paramount already owns by adapting the best of decades of TrekLit?
Mahmoud, age 17, said that his Israeli abductors "began hurling insults, cursing at us, and accusing us of being with Hamas."
"They stripped us of our clothes and took us to Kerem Shalom, completely naked, with nothing," he continued. "There, the beatings and torture began."
"The Israeli women soldiers beat us. They stripped us and 'played' here, and here, and there," Mahmoud said, indicating his genitals. "They beat us with sticks. Got on us while we were lying on the ground. We were handcuffed like that and naked."
Mahmoud said his captors wanted to humiliate him and other teenage boys in custody, accusing the troops of taking nude photos of them and sending female soldiers to mock and touch his body—an especially shameful ordeal for Muslims.

Mastodon funziona come una federazione di server ed usa il protocollo Webfinger per risolvere gli indirizzi degli utenti. Puoi configurare una pagina sul tuo dominio che risponda alle richieste Webfinger rimandando al tuo indirizzo Mastodon originale. Creerai perciò un alias che potrai usare e far usare su Mastodon.
In poche parole se hai l’utente @pippo ed il tuo dominio è casa.com potrai essere cercato e menzionato su Mastodon anche come @pippo@casa.com .
La teoria è semplice, piazzare un file json di configurazione dentro una cartella con sottocartella sul tuo sito nel tuo dominio.
Siccome io ho una VPS linux-debian con YunoHost e wordpress installato, spiegherò come approciarsi utilizzando questa configurazione.
Prima di tutto bisogna creare un file index.php che contenga il seguente codice:
Sostituire a snowfan.masto.host il server mastodon desiderato, a MioUtente il nome utente ed a MioDominio il nome del dominio.
Il file lo possiamo creare in locale e trasportarlo alla VPS con ftp, oppure collegarci con SSH e crearlo con nano.
Se siamo collegati con SSH alla VPS, digitare SU seguito dalla password di root. spostiamoci alla cartella di worpress o alla cartella root del dominio che ci interessa, nel caso di worpress dovrebbe essere “/var/www/wordpress” o nel caso di installazioni multiple potremo avere “/var/www/wordpress_2″.
In questa cartella dobbiamo creare una cartella .well-known ed una sottocartella al suo interno webfinger e dentro webfinger posizionare lo script-file index.php.
eseguire da root o tramite sudo il seguente comando:
Questo comando cambia proprietario e ne permette la gestione ad apache/ngix
Digitare i seguenti comandi controllando che le cartelle siano corrette:
sudo find /var/www/wordpress/.well-known -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
sudo find /var/www/wordpress/.well-known -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
Questi comandi danno i corretti permessi alle cartelle ed al file.
A questo punto non ci rimane che testare che funzioni tutto, dal nostro browser preferito immettere questo url debitamente corretto col dominio giusto:
Se tutto funziona dovremmo vedere a video uno script json.
Il passaggio successivo è andare su mastodon e digitare nel box di ricerca: @UtenteMastodon@MioDominio.com se anche questo passaggio funziona abbiamo fatto tutto correttamente. Se riceviamo una pagina 404 ci potrebbe essere un problema nello script che va verificato.
Il Gran Premio d’Ungheria 2025 ha visto per l’ennesima volta il dominio di Marc Marquez, che al Balaton Park ha conquistato la sua 14ª vittoria consecutiva, firmando la sesta doppietta stagionale tra Sprint e gara lunga. Sul podio, insieme al pilota della Ducati Lenovo, sono saliti Pedro Acosta con la KTM e Marco Bezzecchi con l’Aprilia, regalando tre marchi diversi nelle prime tre posizioni.
Dopo il successo della docuserie premiata con un Emmy, Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story, Keanu Reeves torna con un nuovo progetto.

La MotoGP ha fatto il suo debutto assoluto in Ungheria sul nuovo circuito del Balaton Park, con la prima gara Sprint della storia del GP ungherese. Una prova spettacolare, segnata da incidenti al primo giro e da un dominio incontrastato di Marc Marquez, al suo tredicesimo successo consecutivo.
Imagine if the AI bots learn to target and prioritize content not generated by AI (if they aren’t already). Labeling your content as organic makes it so much more appetizing for bots.
I’ve asked Copilot at work for word help. I’ll ask out something like, what’s a good word that sounds more professional than some other word? And it’ll give me a few choices and I’ll pick one. But that’s about it.
They’re useful, but I won’t let them do my work for me, or give them anything they can use (we have a corporate policy against that, and yet IT leaves Copilot installed/doesn’t switch to something like Linux).
That's true. Where I was, I didn't have access to a physical one, but could have Googled it. Google often sources Dictionary.com which includes a thesaurus, but also gives AI answers.
That said, the AI gives several choices, so it's not choosing anything. Still, point taken.
A stranger alerted Ms. D to an online chatroom where her private images were being shared. Now she and other angry Chinese women are pushing officials to punish the offenders.
I generally cook at home and maybe 1-3 times a week I go out to eat or pick up food. I’m anosmic (no sense of smell, very limited sense of taste), so I struggle to cook whole meals for myself and pretty much can’t cook anything other people can eat. That means what I “cook” at home is almost exclusively simple food like sandwiches, pasta, and frozen/premade stuff. I never get delivery, but I live in an area where I’m a 10-20 mins drive away from like 100 places selling all kinds of food.
Twitch's anti-bot enforcement led to sharp drops in displayed viewership across many channels. The shift raises implications for rankings, ads, and sponsors.
