Fury as iconic Brutalist hotel in Tunisia faces demolition


The start of demolition work on an iconic Tunisian hotel has sparked strong opposition from citizens, architects, NGOs and heritage experts in the North African country and around the world.

Hotel du Lac, located in the capital Tunis, was built in 1973 by Italian architect Raffaele Contigiani.

It is considered a masterpiece of Brutalism, an architectural style that emerged in the middle of the 20th century and is characterised by monumental, unadorned forms magnifying the use of industrial materials with a functionalist aesthetic and social message.

Recognisable by its inverted pyramid structure, the hotel is said to have inspired the creators of the cult film saga Star Wars - some scenes of which were filmed in Tunisia - for the design of a spaceship.



Venezuelan fighter jets flew over U.S. Navy ship in "show of force"


Two armed Venezuelan F-16 fighter jets flew over the USS Jason Dunham on Thursday, according to multiple Defense Department officials who described the action as a "show of force."

The Dunham, an Aegis guided-missile destroyer, is among a flotilla of U.S. warships dispatched to the region in recent weeks that the Pentagon says have been deployed to target criminal organizations and narco-terrorism.

CBS News was unable to determine what actions the USS Jason Dunham took, if any, in response to the flyover.

Following the publication of CBS News' story, the Defense Department confirmed in a statement on X that two Venezuelan aircraft "flew near a U.S. Navy vessel in international waters."



Zionist Grifters Are Taking Over Establishment Media


Bari Weiss has been making the world worse for a long time.

Twenty years ago, as a student at Columbia, she led a racist smear campaign against Arab professors who had the audacity to criticize Israel. As a New York Times columnist, she constantly hawked right-wing bile while posing as a liberal who was just tired of all the extremism and censorship on the left—a tedious bait-and-switch that nevertheless sent her media profile soaring. And, as founder and editor of The Free Press, she has pushed genocide denial, transphobia, and the freedom to make Nazi salutes.

If we lived in a less terrible time and place, Weiss would be dismissed as a crank and a bigot, and never heard from again. But we live in the waking nightmare that is the United States in 2025. So instead Weiss is being rewarded with a prize that even she must think is kind of wild.

That prize? CBS News.

The person handing this gift to Weiss is David Ellison, the billionaire nepo baby who just merged CBS News’ parent company, Paramount, with his company, Skydance Media. Ellison, Puck’s Dylan Byers reported on Wednesday, is paying somewhere between $100 million and $200 million to buy The Free Press and install Weiss somewhere at the top of the network.

[solved] Wake on LAN magic packet not reaching target


I am trying to set up a simple home server with some old hardware, and since power is pretty expensive here I am trying to enable WoL so that I can turn it on whenever I need it, and automatically shut it down after a short time of inactivity.

I enabled WoL ("Power On By PME") in my BIOS, which then allowed me to enable WoL in my network device drivers using nmcli. It now reliably shows mode g selected after reboot, as reported by ethtool. I installed gWakeOnLan on another device to try waking my server, but to no avail.

When my server is shut down, the ethernet LEDs are still blinking, so I suppose the network device successfully stays turned on after shutdown. However, when I use netcat on my server to check that the magic packets get there, I can't see any output after sending the packets using gWakeOnLan. I tried both ports 9 and 40000.

I am using a router that was provided to me by my network provider, maybe I need to enable/unblock something there? No idea what it would be, though.

Any ideas on how to track this issue further down?


Edit: I am now using wol instead of gWakeOnLan. this command worked for me:

wol -p 9 -i 192.168.2.255 <server-mac-address>.

I got the IP from ip address :

inet 192.168.2.31/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eno1


I'd like having a little GUI but apparently it's not possible to configure the IP in gWakeOnLan like this. I tried setting it to 'internet' mode (to allow me to enter my IP) but that didn't work. Oh well, a little script to double-click is fine, too, haha

It might work better if computer sleeps. Try that first. If that works, then it probably means you have to setup bios properly if that's even configurable with your hardware. Or you can just go with sleep instead of power down.
in reply to Mihies

How would this explain the packet not reaching the server in a powered on state?
in reply to silly goose meekah

Yeah, that won't but you could still try, just in case. Other than that, are both client and server on same IP segment?
About router - I'd really suggest using your own router (also firewall) behind the provided one. Otherwise you are exposing your internal network to network provider which you might not want to do and at the same time you don't have a control over the core device in your network.
in reply to Mihies

Thanks for the tip regarding the IP segment, that seemed to be it. I needed to use the correct broadcast IP for the subnet (I think? I'm bad with networks. I used 192.168.2.255 instead of 255.255.255.255, and now it works)

And yeah, I am looking to get a router at some point. Hard to make such a purchase when I'm struggling to make ends meet currently, though.

in reply to silly goose meekah

Hard to say if you don't have any control over your router. It's possible it's blocking it, but to troubleshoot:

1) Try a different WOL utility
2) Are you SURE you enabled it for the wired connection both in BIOS and in OS? Maybe you enabled for Wifi accidentally?
3) Try setting up a local connection without the router in the mix and see if it works that way

What is this generations Nirvana, Limp Bizkit, Tupac, or Rage against the machine?


I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?




The Biggest Applause Line From Graham Platner's Labor Day Speech Was About Ending US Bombs in Gaza | Common Dreams


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/35702237

Sep 02, 2025
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called the conflict in Gaza that's killed more than 63,000 Palestinians and starved hundreds of people "complicated," while Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) last week accused a Jewish comedian of "justifying antisemitism" for noting that more than 80% of people killed by the Israel Defense Forces were civilians. Both responses garnered condemnation from Palestinian rights advocates and progressive commentators.

But on Monday—before a packed house of more than 6,500 in Portland—Platner took a much different approach.

"Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza," said Platner, leading the audience to stand up and applaud for a full 30 seconds.

Platner, a military veteran and oyster farmer who is challenging Collins—a vehement supporter of Israel—has previously spoken about Gaza in an interview for Zeteo, calling Israel's US-backed attack on the territory "the moral test of our time."

He repeated his message on social media Tuesday, saying: "It's not complicated: Not one more taxpayer dollar for genocide."

At least 54 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military across Gaza since dawn today. Israel has killed 84 Palestinians and injured 338 in the past 24 hours. Three more Palestinians have died from famine; this brings the total of famine deaths to 370, including 131 children. The Israeli military warns that it will impose direct martial rule over the entire Gaza Strip. Marco Rubio signals an assent to further West Bank annexations. A federal judge reverses Trump’s defunding of Harvard research, calling it an “unconstitutional retaliation.” Israel strikes a construction equipment repair warehouse in southern Lebanon, again violating the ceasefire. Rubio met with Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum and defended the recent U.S. missile strike on a Venezuelan vessel. Iraqi officials claim to have busted a global Islamic State “financing network.”

I have a few friends in this situation.

My wife and I sometimes say that we are happy that we are done with the going out dating night life scene.

We both had fun times dating when we were younger and single, but we are older now and are happy to relax on our home on a Friday night.

One of our single friends said they were tired of going out to date and stuff, and I don’t blame her. As you get into your late 30s, the appeal is kind of gone.

I’m sure I don’t speak for everyone. But I just wanted to share my experience.





Police Officers Admit They Feel ‘Ashamed’ Enforcing ‘Mad’ Palestine Action Ban


Enforcing the Palestine Action ban is exhausting, unsustainable and making cops miserable, Met officers, government lawyers and the police federation have told Novara Media.

One officer described feeling “ashamed and sick” when they arrested a disabled person on terror charges. “That feeling won’t leave me anytime soon,” they said. Another told an arrestee it’s “not the work I came into the police to be doing”.

A Police Federation spokesperson, meanwhile, criticised the fact there are “no ‘extra’ officers” to police Palestine Action protests, putting London’s Met police in particular at high risk of burnout. “Officers are emotionally and physically exhausted,” the spokesperson said. “The demand is relentless. And it’s not sustainable.”

They've accepted the Witkoff plan since May, now they've been saying since the end of August that they're ready to leave the power to independent technocrats, what more could they do ?
They'd probably accept demilitarization as well with enough security guarantees. And then, what more could Israel ask ?

This reminds me of ELIZA, a natural language processing program from the 60’s that induced what they coined as the ELIZA effect, a tendency to anthropomorphize the computer. Joseph Wizenbaum, the computer scientist who created ELIZA, wrote Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation in which he contends that while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions, as they will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom.

Most people STILL have no concept of how digital mass surveillance functions, what it can do, and how it can be used to manipulate them right now, today. Now, it’s common practice to pour your heart out to and have intimate extended relationships with AI systems controlled by the very same corporate surveillance complex.

The danger is not that AI will become self aware and turn against humanity, it is that people will not realize that it has already been turned against us by its masters.

CBS News Is Turning Into An Israeli Propaganda Network (Video 10mins)


As a new owner acquires CBS and Paramount, we expose a disturbing partnership with Bari Weiss's "Free Press," a media outlet that has been used by Israeli leaders to justify genocide. Emma Vigeland and the MR crew connect the dots from a multi-million dollar settlement with the Trump administration to the cancellation of popular liberal shows to the consolidation of media power under the direction of powerful conservative interests.


UK complicit in Israeli war crimes, Jeremy Corbyn's tribunal hears


Thursday was the first day of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's highly publicised Gaza Tribunal, which aims to hold Britain accountable for its role in enabling Israel’s ongoing war crimes in Gaza.

The independent MP, now a key figure in the establishment of a new left-wing party, put forward a bill earlier this year for a public Chilcot-style inquiry into Britain's military cooperation with Israel.

But the Labour government blocked the bill. This unofficial two-day inquest is taking place instead.

There was nothing trivial about the tribunal. Eyewitnesses, UN rapporteurs, journalists, medics and academics all gave evidence on Thursday.
