3 Russian Mi-8 helicopters, radar station destroyed in occupied Crimea, Ukraine’s HUR says. “The Russian invaders’ air fleet in the temporarily occupied Crimea has been reduced again as a result of successful combat operations,” Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) said.
Ukrainian drones strike resort in occupied Crimea near Russian state dachas, Kremlin proxy says. A source reportedly told the Crimean Wind Telegram channel that “very important guests” were staying at the Foros resort at the time of the attack. The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims.
Ukraine destroys Russian ‘terminator on tracks’ engineering vehicle in rare strike, military says. The rare strike marks only the third visually confirmed destruction of such a vehicle since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Ukraine has a massive new sea drone, could threaten Russia’s Crimean Bridge. Although the platform had been known for about a year, it was only now publicly displayed.

Ukraine to begin exporting naval drones, other weapons, Zelensky says. Kyiv has drawn up proposals for a “controlled export” of Ukrainian weapons, particularly sea drones, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address on Sept. 21.
Russia’s ‘good-for-nothing’ general reportedly dismissed after Ukraine blunders. Russian Colonel General Alexander Lapin has been associated with battlefield setbacks since 2022.
More than 15,000 mobilized Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine identified by media investigation. The analysis shows that 42% of these deaths occurred within the first year after President Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s month-long “partial mobilization” in September 2022.

International response
NATO was ready to ‘use force’ against Russia, Estonia says after airspace incursion. “We saw on Friday that NATO is functioning very efficiently… even to the point that if we were truly forced to use the last resort, which is the use of force, then there was a readiness for that as well,” Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said.
NATO jets intercept Russian spy plane over Baltic Sea, Germany says. The aircraft, an Il-20M, departed from Russia and entered international airspace without establishing communication, making visual identification the only way to confirm its presence.

Opinions and insights
Tragedy, unity, and defiance in Kyiv
“Cultural and social revival is strong in wartime Ukraine as an act of resistance against Russian efforts at erasure. Ukrainians are proudly, defiantly celebrating their own cultural diversity and history, including their own path of truth and reconciliation on the more challenging episodes of their national story,” Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine Natalka Cmoc writes.

As an answer to most european state's recent recognition of Palestine : gov.il/en/pages/spoke-pm210925
There will be no Palestinian state. The response to the latest attempt to force upon us a terror state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States
I have a clear message to those leaders who are recognizing a Palestinian state after the horrendous October 7 massacre: You are rewarding terror with an enormous prize.
And I have another message for you : it's not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River.
For years I have prevented the creation of that terror state, against tremendous pressure, both domestic and from abroad.
We have done this with determination, and with astute statesmanship. Moreover, we have doubled the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, and we will continue on this path.
The response to the latest attempt to force upon us a terror state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States. Stand by.
Just in case it wasn’t clear enough. May he change his mind one day.
"From the river to the sea" only being a hate crime when it's directed at israelis.
In case some people here would be sensible to the argument of allowing a "terror state" inside your borders, the french president and others explicitly mentioned a demilitarized Palestine, implying that such state would chase down any palestinian aiming to take revenge against Israel, and continue to collaborate with Israel in doing so.
It's assumed that the support of anti-zionist states like Iran will also progressively fade with the decades if palestinians are happy. It'd only be a tiny bit of diversity in the Middle-East, their refusal would be understandable though since it's a clear unilateral loss(, also a symbolic loss if you interpret it in a weird way, like thinking that islam's victory isn't complete as long as christians and jews haven't converted), even if i hope that they'll eventually change their mind as well. No doubt that jewish states could be friends with muslims states and complement/teach each other(, e.g., jewish traditions guard against literalism, christian literalism insist on miracles, while muslim literalism insist on decontextualization, since the most glorious Prophet had to restrict the laws because of humanity's imperfections that wouldn't have accepted the final form, such as the total abolition of slavery for non-muslims as well, or some events where the law changed because they were asking too much from followers, such as drinking in moderation or temporarily staying aways from their wives, the spirit of the law may also sometimes seem too uncertain to seek so the letter is put forward, kinda thinking that the Quran would have been the exact same if it was revealed in 2025, the Best doesn't move). Museums/'Historical theme parks' aren't useless, Israel could be one.

[Solved] Seeking help with Fedora 42 KDE DNS resolution issues regarding reverse proxy on local network
Hello Everyone,
As the title says, I am having issues reaching my internally hosted resources via reverse proxy on my Fedora KDE install. I found little info about this, and I am wondering if I am on a wild goose chase.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for the wall of text in advance!
Here's the anonymized setup:
192.168.1.10 is the docker host with web services on different ports
192.168.1.20 is the server that acts as a reverse proxy via caddy2, so I can use app.domain.example instead of ip:port and it handles certs from let's encrypt via DNS challenge. No ports are open to the internet. I VPN in when remote access is needed.
192.168.1.30 is the Pihole set up as the DHCP assigned local DNS. It has local DNS entries:
A record for caddy.domain.example mapped to 192.168.1.20
CNAME record for app.domain.example mapped to caddy.domain.example
This works perfectly fine on other devices and distros, windows, android etc.
On Fedora KDE live images 42 and 43 beta, and the installed OSs have this problem (currently have 42 installed so this is not a beta thing) Access works via IP:Port. It looks like it just doesn't want to take the reverse proxy route.
If I do an nslookup from the fedora device, it reaches pihole, and can resolve app.domain.example to caddy.domain.example, then that to 192.168.1.20.
nslookup app.domain.example
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53
Non-authoritative answer:
app.domain.example canonical name = caddy.domain.exampe
Name: caddy.domain.example
Address: 192.168.1.20
caddy.domain.example canonical name = 192.168.1.20.resolvectl link 3 is the relevant one.
resolvectl
Global
Protocols: LLMNR=resolve -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
resolv.conf mode: stub

Current DNS Server: 192.168.1.30
DNS Servers: 192.168.1.30
DNS Domain: domain.local
Default Route: yesI can see it's using the stub resolver which I found some docs about but I am unsure what to change at this stage.
If I run traceroute for app.domain.example i get "No address associated with hostname"
I guess this is because here isn't any public records for this subdomain, only the wildcard pointing to my local Caddy IP for the certs.
Thanks for reading!
What happens if you add a local record to your local hosts file?
Also, are you using domain.local and not an actual custom domain?
I have a domain registered that I use, just didn't feel the need to mention it exactly. Hence why I anonymized my results. I did not change anything that would alter the troubleshooting steps, only the domain name and ip addresses are generic but otherwise consistent.
The domain and records are set up correctly on the provider end because I receive valid let's encrypt certs for my subdomains through caddy. The issue is only with Fedora. I checked a live of ubuntu and fedora iso on a second computer. Fedora consistently cannot resolve the domains on the default configuration while ubuntu and anything else I tried can.
I just tried adding the local IP:Port and the app.domain.example to the /etc/hosts file as the examples show. Restarted systemd-resolved but no dice. Ideally, I'd like to make this family friendly and avoid having to make client specific configurations anyway. So far only I run fedora at home, so my device has this issue only. I am partial to the OS otherwise, so I was hoping I could solve this.
EDIT
Sorry about that it dawned on my what you asked for really.
From the resolvedctl results DNS Domain: domain.local would be mydomainname.local. Yes I kept .local in the search domain fields for most of my things. Is this something that matters, or could this be a workaround if I changed it to my actual mydomainname.tld?
As far as I undertand this would work if mDNS was on. Not sure if LLMNR makes use of it the same way.
Solved by reading the docs, sort of...
By following the instructions to opt out of using systemd-resolved completely, it works.
fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes…
This meant creating this simlink
sudo ln -sfv /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
and creating this config file with the contents
sudo bash -c 'mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system-preset && echo "disable systemd-resolved.service" >/etc/systemd/system-preset/20-systemd-resolved-disable.preset'
But this wasn't enough. I had to stop the systemd-resolved.service as for some reason it did still start after a reboot, so I ran the following commands:
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved andsudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved
Now I am able to go through the caddy reverse proxy on my LAN.

Apple as a future Graphene OEM?
Is Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) and/or Memory Integrity Encforcement (MIE) one of the requisite features for GrapheneOS?
The recent moves from Google that look like Android will become more of a "closed garden", and it might affect the furure of privacy ROMs.
I'm not sure if thats the same reason for this, but GrapheneOS have stated that they are working on a phone from another Android OEM. I have no idea if apple's chips allow exclusively ios or linux-like os on the system, but how feasable is it that they might consider Apple (given if the inclusion of MIE & MTE makes iPhones more compatible with gOS) in the future?
Memory Integrity Enforcement Changes the Game on iOS
Apple's new support for ARM's Memory Tagging Extension in iOS and their A19 SoC is an underrated feature for journalists, activists, and other high-profile figures.Jonah Aragon (Privacy Guides)
@xyhhx We're working on GrapheneOS support for future generations of a subset of the device models provided by a major Android OEM. Their current devices don't provide the updates and security features we need, but they're capable of doing it. We're working with them towards providing this so we can support their devices. They may end up officially selling devices with GrapheneOS as an option but that's not the bare minimum and it can be successful even without initially having that.

On the one hand we have Ukraine as a warning example of what can happen to nations that give up their nuclear weapons.
On the other hand South Africa did the same and haven't been invaded.

I don't think NK would ever give up their nuclear arms. But maybe calls for democratization could be raised and leveraged against lessened sanctions?

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.”

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.”

That said, the headline and article repeatedly call it a ‘verified Steam game’ but at no point do they explain what that means.
As far as I know, the only verification scheme on Steam is Steam Deck Verified, but the screenshot of the offending game’s store page shows that it was rated as ‘Unknown’.
Do they mean verified as in ‘Valve approved it for release’? Surely not, because every Steam game is approved for release so ‘verified Steam game’ would be a tautology.
Either I’m missing something, or this source is just adding meaningless words for no good reason.

in reply to BrikoX • • •Right, so there’s no such thing as an unverified Steam game because every game has to be approved before it appears on the storefront.
So why does the article repeatedly bother to specify that this was a ‘verified Steam game’? By that metric, they’re all verified.
I’m not even mad about it, I’m just confused why they bothered adding the qualifier at all.

in reply to MurrayL • • •It's mentioned twice by the article. And the term is probably used because that how the gamer addressed it in their post. I can only speculate, I didn't write the article.
In any case, it's a huge fuck up by Valve and not for the first time.
