Israel attack on Yemeni newspaper was second deadliest on journalists ever recorded


Thirty one journalists and media staff were killed by Israeli strikes on newspaper offices in Yemen last week in what the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Friday was the deadliest attack on journalists in the last 16 years.

Israel struck a newspaper complex in Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, which housed three Houthi-connected media outlets on 10 September. At the time, members of the Yemeni army’s press arm were finishing the weekly print edition, according to the publication’s editor-in-chief, which increased the number of journalists present during the strike.

At least 35 people were killed in the attack, including one child who accompanied a journalist to the office, and 131 were wounded, according to the Houthi ministry of health. All of the journalists worked for either the Houthi-affiliated 26 September newspaper or Yemen newspaper.

The attack was the second-deadliest against journalists that the CPJ had ever recorded, after the Maguindanao massacre in the Philippines in 2009.

I think it’s a shame that his ideas had carried a public taint to them for so long, due to several authoritarians co-opting his message


While we might point to some Socialist experiments that succumbed to needless authoritarianism (for example, Romania), This is a view that looks at 20th century socialism, and collapses the experiences of these places. Just the former eastern bloc, for instance, is far more diverse, socially, and politically, than westerners often caricature it as.

The aforementioned example of Romania, with its horrific treatment of women, vs the comparatively very modern East Germany with its state-owned gay bars are in many respects, world apart. Collapsing these places with a blanket term of "authoritarian" and waving it away as all just an unfortunate shame, is unhelpful at best, and actively anti-intellectual at worst.

For the record, I said several authoritarians, I didn’t say every one was one. I would say your reading of my comment was uncharitable at best and rude at worst.

The problem with Bernie Sanders’s ‘it is genocide’ admission - The US senator recognises the genocide of the Palestinian people but ends up blaming them for it.


History will judge us for whether we could see genocide for what it is, without asterisks, without exceptions, without the comfortable lies that let the powerful sleep while children starve to death or get torn to pieces. If we fail to grasp this fundamental truth, we do not just fail Palestinians. We fail every occupied, colonised, and oppressed people who might one day be told their resistance justifies their extermination.

Bingo. Took him years to admit it, but immediately opens up by blaming the genocide on Al-Aqsa Flood and the resistance groups fighting against nearly a century of settler-colonial genocide. Bernie's a sheepdog.

Anyone who prefaces every criticism of Israel with a condemnation of KHAMMAS is an imperialist. And yet he still tries to cling on to his reputation as an egalitarian with hollow words of support for "oppressed people".


The USA demands blood for the blood god


From Operation Gladio - Paul L Williams:

But no Latin American country, not even Pinochet's Chile, could equal the levels of violence that followed the military coup of March 24, 1976, in Argentina. Indeed, the only regime to create a state of fear approximating that of Argentina was Hitler's Germany.37 (There were other parallels to Nazism, including a government-sponsored hate campaign against the country's four hundred thousand Jews.) As many as thirty thousand political prisoners (including students, union organizers, journalists, and even pregnant women) were killed or disappeared during the 1976–1983 “Dirty War,” which was fully endorsed by the Ford, Carter, and Reagan administrations.38 Political killings took place on the average of seven a day in 1977. Nor were Argentines the only victims. An estimated fourteen thousand refugees from other South American military regimes were told to leave the country or face the possibility of arrest. Torture was automatic for anyone arrested, according to a spokesman for the World Council of Churches.39

THE US ENDORSEMENT

Recently declassified National Security documents show that the CIA and the US State Department remained primary sponsors of the military junta, which was led by General Jorge Videla. On February 16, 1976, six weeks before the coup, Robert Hill, the US ambassador to Argentina, reported to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that the plans for the coup were underway and that a public relations campaign had been mounted that would cast the new military regime in a positive light. Hill added that even though “some executions would probably be necessary,” the leaders of the junta remained determined “to minimize any resulting problems with the US”40On March 25, 1979, two days after the coup, William Rogers, assistant secretary for Latin America, advised Kissinger that the military takeover of Argentina would result in “a fair amount of repression, probably a good deal of blood.” To this warning, Kissinger responded, “Yes, but that is in our interest.”41

On March 30, 1976, Ambassador Hill sent a seven-page assessment of the new regime to Kissinger. In the report, Hill wrote, “This is probably the best executed and most civilized coup in Argentine history.” One week later, US Congress approved a request from the Ford Administration, written by Kissinger, to provide $50 million in aid to the new military regime.42

Freed Israeli-American captive to rejoin army and resume role in Gaza genocide


Former Hamas captive Idan Alexander, a 21-year-old Israeli-American soldier, has announced he will return to the Israeli army to take part in its ongoing genocide on Gaza.

"Next month I will return to Israel and once again wear my [Israeli army] uniform, serving proudly alongside my brothers. My story doesn't end with survival – it continues with service. Until victory," Alexander declared at a Friends of the Israel Defence Forces (FIDF) event in the United States earlier this week.

Alexander was freed in May after Hamas said it would release him as a goodwill gesture to advance ceasefire talks and open the way for urgently needed humanitarian aid. Since Hamas’ gesture, the Trump administration has hardened its stance against Palestinians, backing the Israeli onslaught on Gaza and promoting ethnic cleansing.

New to Proxmox, Facing Issues with Homelab Setup - Need Advice


cross-posted from: lemmy.buddyverse.net/post/5454

Hello everyone, I’m fairly new to Proxmox and struggling with my homelab setup. I have two machines running Proxmox 9: an HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini (Core i7-9700) and a Dell OptiPlex 7070 Micro (Core i3 9th gen). I’m running into several issues and would appreciate your insights.
  1. Networking Issue on EliteDesk: I have two VMs (both Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS) on the same bridge (default vmbr0, I haven't modified any network settings in proxmox). If I stop or shut down one VM, the other loses internet connectivity. I can still access the applications from my home network using IP address (192.268.x.x).



  1. Backup Setup on OptiPlex: I’m running a Proxmox Backup Server VM with Backblaze B2 as an S3 datastore. This is working fine so far.
  2. Backup Problems on EliteDesk: I’m using default LVM-thin for VMs. Backups take a very long time and often freeze at 1-2%. Shutting down the VM cleanly afterward is nearly impossible. I’ve tried both Stop and Snapshot modes, but the issue persists. When a VM becomes unresponsive, it triggers the networking issue above. Would switching to ZFS help? If so, how can I migrate without losing any data?
  3. Hardware Acceleration for Jellyfin: On the EliteDesk, I’d like to enable hardware acceleration for a VM running Jellyfin (in Docker) using the i7-9700’s UHD 630 iGPU. Can anyone recommend a clear guide specific to this CPU? The Proxmox documentation isn’t very detailed for Intel GPUs.

The networking issue is the most frustrating. Has anyone encountered similar bridge problems? Any advice on fixes or next steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

this is odd, if everything in in a bridge, then a physical port to your switch/router should be your uplink. Check for MTU mismatches, and CRC errors on the cabling.

I don't think MTU mismatch or CRC error is the root cause. So far, I haven't modified any proxmox settings. I've updated the post. ❤️

Israel-China Tensions Surface at Xiangshan Forum Over Gaza War


As a well-known Egyptian expert on Chinese politics and the policies of the ruling Communist Party in China, I closely followed the events that took place on the sidelines of the Xiangshan Forum for Security and Defense Dialogue in Beijing on September 18, 2026. The remarks came as “Yan Xiutong,” dean of the Chinese university, reprimanded the Israeli military attaché to China, “Elad Shoshan,” accusing him of “Israel killing more than 70,000 unarmed civilians in the Gaza Strip.” The video clip, which was widely circulated globally and in Israeli and international media, showed a heated exchange between the dean of the Chinese university and the Israeli military attaché in Beijing on the sidelines of the Xiangshan Forum for Security and Defense Dialogue in Beijing. During the video, Chinese professor Yan Xiutong harshly criticized the Israeli military attaché Elad Shoshan, accusing Israel of causing the deaths of more than 70,000 civilians in the Gaza Strip. Yan Xiutong also addressed Israeli officer Elad Shoshan, saying, “Go to the United Nations and agree to a two-state solution to establish the State of Palestine. If you don’t reach an agreement with the Palestinians, you will never defeat terrorism.” He added, “Shooting women and children strips Israel of any legitimacy on the international stage.” When Israeli military attaché Elad Shoshan responded by saying that “Israel is trying to avoid harming civilians,” Xiutong replied, “No one believes Israeli propaganda, except for a few Israelis.” The dean of the Chinese university likened the situation to bank robbers using hostages as human shields, asking, “Would you shoot customers and employees to free the hostages? Of course not.” The Israeli officer appeared embarrassed and helpless in the face of the Chinese professor’s arguments.





Iran says cooperation with IAEA suspended after European move on UN sanctions


Iran's top security body said Saturday that action by Britain, France and Germany to reimpose UN sanctions will "effectively suspend" its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

"Despite the foreign ministry's cooperation with the (International Atomic Energy) Agency and the presentation of plans to resolve the issue, the actions of European countries will effectively suspend the path of cooperation with the agency," the Supreme National Security Council said in a televised statement.

The announcement comes after the Security Council voted on Friday to reimpose frozen UN sanctions after the European governments activated the "snapback" mechanism in a decade-old nuclear agreement accusing Iran of non-compliance.

in reply to cyrano

Always excited to see more "buy here" alternatives rather than "just" an OS or custom ROM. Obviously we need that too but all too often we get stuck having to buy another phone we do not want (e.g. Pixel because Google) or hardware that's not supported enough for daily driving (e.g. PinePhone with camera still not supported properly on Pro, years later, power management unable to handle a day of use).

Unfortunately "FuriOS" doesn't look like a reliable alternative just based on the number of eyes, and hands, on it, cf github.com/FuriLabs so unless they can somehow pull all that weight on their own then I'd let others try before me and read reviews on the whole experience, not solely the quality of the hardware or the architecture of the software.



Auto opt-in sharing app usage with Verizon


Just updated to iOS 26 and a few hours later got this notice about “enchanted 5g” for some apps. I had no idea what it was, so I checked the details and saw that it was automatic enabled and shares info about what apps you use with Verizon. If it wasn’t for this notification I would have no idea this was running.

No thanks. Disable that.

Edit: “enchanted” lol. Meant enhanced.

Questa voce è stata modificata (1 mese fa)
in reply to collar

I looked further into this and I think this is just really bad communication on Apple's part. This is network slicing and basically lets apps call for a dedicated 5G connection tailored for them.

So if this is on, a compatible app can say, "I'm streaming live video, please prioritize for low latency and packet loss", or like a navigation app can say "I'm a background service, I don't care about latency, packet loss, or throughput stability".

It isn't sharing exactly what apps are being used, just what type of network service the apps need. So while Verizon might be able to infer what type of activities you're doing, your actual activity is encrypted and can still be hidden behind a VPN. This seems like it's just for better network stability and speed, and I wouldn't consider it a violation of privacy.

Israel's Biblical myth is burying the West Bank alive


cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6188824

How ‘Judea and Samaria’ became state doctrine

Such remarks are part of a wider strategy adopted by Israel and its western allies to impose new facts on the ground, legitimized through religious and historical narratives to justify the gradual annexation of the occupied West Bank. For years, Tel Aviv has pursued an aggressive expansionist policy built on illegal settlement construction, creeping annexation, and the erasure of the Palestinian land’s geographic and political identity. Most recently, Israeli authorities approved a new settlement project in the heart of Hebron (Al-Khalil), consisting of hundreds of housing units next to the Ibrahimi Mosque, which is now mostly a synagogue under Israeli control.

Israel’s strategy in the occupied West Bank is a complex, multi-layered one that far exceeds the parameters of temporary military administration. It is a long-term blueprint for de facto annexation – what could be termed “creeping annexation.” Through legal warfare, archaeology, settlement expansion, and political engineering, Tel Aviv is redrawing the region’s geography and demography to erase any possibility of Palestinian sovereignty. The aim is to impose irreversible facts on the ground and absorb the territory into the so-called “Biblical Land of Israel” – a supremacist strategy that works toward dismembering the Palestinian national project and the consolidation of permanent Jewish-Israeli control.

At the heart of Israel’s colonization strategy lies the foundational myth that “Judea and Samaria” are the ancient birthright of the Jewish people. This religious-nationalist narrative, central to the Zionist project and championed by settler and far-right factions, is the ideological engine driving Israel’s land theft. In this warped worldview, the seizure of Palestinian territory is seen as a righteous reclamation rather than an occupation, justified as a divinely sanctioned 'return' that cloaks a settler-colonial enterprise in biblical language and fabricated heritage.

However, even within Israeli academic circles, this ideological claim faces serious scrutiny. Renowned Israeli archaeologist Professor Rafi Greenberg of Tel Aviv University harshly criticizes what he calls “the weaponization of archaeology.” He notes that the archaeological record in Palestine offers no exclusive evidence of a single group’s historical claim.

Proposal for improved COSMIC apps:


So, I think cosmic apps should support whatever the global menu protocol is called, and have the top bar be ssd. The ssd would use the global menu protocol to add the already existing menu bar to the titlebar.

This would have quite a few benefits, including

  • Making every third party app with a menu bar look more native, with them getting a COSMIC-style titlebar.
  • Making COSMIC apps integrate nicer with other desktops, especially for people who use a mac-style global menu.
  • A more unified and flexible desktop experience overall.

Obvious problems being what to do with other buttons in titlebars(I propose to just move them to wherever else would make sense) and what to do on desktops with no server side decorations like GNOME. Also, on other desktops that have ssd, but don't put the global menu anywhere, there would have to be a more classic, less elegant menu bar.

This proposal definitely has downsides, but I think it'd be a definite improvement and align with COSMIC's philosphy, so tell me what you all think!

Also, if any system76 employees are reading this, pretty please 🥺 ?

What does "ssd" mean in this context? I'm guessing it's not solid state drive since that doesn't make any sense in these sentences, but searching that acronym isn't very helpful.

Edit: I guess it means "server side decorations". I see that OP did use the full phrase once, but it didn't click with me initially.
Wikipedia says that means the window manager draws titlebar buttons, as opposed to client side decorations which enables the app developer to control the titlebar of their app.

in reply to Luke

Oops, shouldve probably explained it in the post.

ssd= server side decorations

server side decorations is when the system draws the titlebar, as opposed to client side decorations (csd) where the applications draws it.

for example, gnome uses csd, but kde uses ssd.

There's debate over which is better, but the main difference is that csd allows applications to put anything in the titlebar, which can make the design nicer, and ssd allows the titlebars on all apps to be consistent, which I personally value more.

in reply to Blisterexe

Aha oops I edited at the same time as your reply! Thanks for the elaboration, that's helpful!
in reply to Blisterexe

Of course server side decorations are better, why is there even a debate?
in reply to Blisterexe

It's mostly devs like csd better, because they "can express themselves" and users like ssd better, because it's not inconsistent and can be themed by them. In short, csd sucks for users.
Questa voce è stata modificata (1 mese fa)
in reply to MonkderVierte

I’m going to provide the counter opinion here: I prefer CSD. SSD gives you a consistent title bar across applications, but it can cause a wildly inconsistent look within a single app. Part of the application is being themed by a different piece of software that doesn’t know anything about it.

I also like apps being able to make use of some of the extra space in the titlebar if they want to.

in reply to verdare

Uh, yeah, because the titlebar isn't part of the app but of the wm. And i like the Adapta titlebar better to the Materia theme, no i didn't ask about the developers opinion. You, as a developer, make a User Interface, not a piece of art, keep that in mind.

I’m a user. Why do you assume I’m a dev?

in reply to pewpew

From a user perspective I don't understand how wasting a bunch of screen space on an ugly, non-functional bar across every window is better. I get that from a software development perspective it's basically one less thing to deal with. But I absolutely prefer to have a functional use for the space.

The title bars in KDE felt so antiquated, especially for such a foundational thing. For a while I removed the title bars and used a "move window" key and minimize/maximize/close shortcuts.

Eventually I just switched to Gnome.

in reply to obsoleteacct

That's a good take, I wish KDE had a better model that allowed for custom buttons and menus on the titlebar.
But I still think CSD are awkard to work with, we need the best of both worlds in my opinion
in reply to Blisterexe

The realistic answer IMO is that SSD should be the default with client overrides being available.

Yes consistency is important but if someone wants to do something weird, let them. Open software ecosystems should prioritize flexibility like that.

Largest Caucus in House Endorses Bill to Block US Bombs to Israel | Common Dreams


Jon Queally
Sep 21, 2025

The Congressional Progressive Caucus over the weekend officially endorsed a bill that would block the sale of many offensive US weapons to Israel. This move coincides with growing outrage from US voters from across the political spectrum who say they have seen enough of American complicity with the genocidal humanitarian blockade and bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

The Block the Bombs Act, first introduced in May by Rep. Delia C. Ramirez (D-Ill.) and now backed by 49 co-sponsors, calls for a prohibition on the sale of a variety of US weapons and a limitation on military services to the Israeli government, accused of committing a genocide in Gaza.

The vote by the caucus, which took place Saturday and was first reported by Zeteo, marks a historic shift—even for the most progressive group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill—that provides “a significant boost to efforts to hold Israel accountable for its genocidal war in Gaza.”

Palestine reshared this.

Gaming on Linux, -


I know im not the only one, trying to get gaming on linux, but im different 😀
I am hooked on Flightgear, (the flight gear group on lemmy seems dead) but im right now playing it (still as a novice) on my Lenovo T470 with Fedora. So well its running okay, but the graphics, especially the suroundings just dosnt look like wheni see thoese vids online about flightgear. So i was wondering, and dreaming about a desktop PC, running linux, that is capable of delevering better graphics in Flightgear.i dont know anything about building a pc, but do you have a recommended setup of all hardware i schould get, and software, to get Flightgear up and running more beautyfull? Im also considdering of using steam as a gameshop. Im such a noob, that i would prefer exsact list of what hardware i schould use. Btw i would like to build my own pc, because im not a fan of thoese gamercomputers with all the colourrd light insight.
in reply to with chicken

No idea about Flightgear but to get super niche X-Plane works in VR on Linux, including with flight simulator joysticks.

I can't help you with your specific setup but my point is that gaming on Linux works very well unless you need kernel level anti cheat which at this point is pretty much only a portion of competitive gaming.

I don't see anything on protondb.com/search?q=Flightge… though so not a good sign.

Is my adblock list pretty overkill/redundant?


I have this setup for like a year now, and I didn't really encounter any problems as far as I know. (or did I?) However, I just thought I would ask about it because I've been experiencing YouTube slowdowns recently via the mobile website (like video plays and video stops, and like my data won't exceed 500k/s usage most of the time), even though I never experience any of this in YouTube Revanced Extended.

I just enabled every filter that looked good in the Brave settings and added every starred/recommended list in yokkofing's filter list. (I used this list because it was heavily recommended)

I also have the Brave configurations set up with the PrivacyGuides's recommended configuration, and I'm also using Mullvad's DNS server (the base version; see all versions) both in my browser and in my Android device via the Private DNS feature.

So, is it overkill/redundant? If yes, what should I remove?

in reply to PragmaticIdealist

Are you employing these lists on your phone or a PC, or other device? There can be a performance cost associated with large IP blocklists. On most modern PC, the cost is usually minimal. On my dedicated firewall, just the DNSBL_Firebog_Malicious list clocks in at 1,004,966 entries, and I have most of Firebog's IP Blocklists, which are usually large, in addition to many others, because in my mind, you cannot block enough.

I cannot speak inteligently enough as to doing so on a mobile device. Additionally, YT is in a state of chaotic flux implimenting all manner of weirdness to make you have to hear their unskippible ads and slop all over the screen just to watch 30 seconds of a tutorial and find out it's not what you were looking for. So, that might be some of it too.

Yep, I have this exact filterlist in both my laptop and my phone. I don't really notice any performance problems besides YT (in mobile it sucks, in desktop it's just fine). Also as you can see I'm using just the lightweight version of these filterlists if there is one available (HaGeZi's filterlist for example) because I'm not using a dedicated device for adblocking like Pi-hole.

Additionally, YT is in a state of chaotic flux implimenting all manner of weirdness to make you have to hear their unskippible ads and slop all over the screen just to watch 30 seconds of a tutorial and find out it’s not what you were looking for.


I heard some stuff about that, but well, I still see no ads so that's that. I wonder why YouTube Revanced Extended is not experiencing any of it though.
