Israel intercepts humanitarian flotilla, Drop Site’s exclusive interview with Hamas, Trump to support Ukraine strikes on Russian energy
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/36983579
At least 45 Palestinians are dead after Israeli attacks in Gaza today. Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill speaks to Hamas political official Mohammad Nazzal on how the Palestinian resistance is approaching its response to Trump’s Gaza ultimatum. Israel intercepts the Global Sumud Flotilla, spraying boats with “skunk water” and detaining parliamentarians, humanitarian activists, and journalists—including Drop Site journalist Alex Colston. The U.S. enters the second day of a government shutdown. The U.S. plans to provide Ukraine with intelligence to carry out long-range missile strikes on energy infrastructure inside Russia—the first time it has agreed to aid Ukraine in these types of attacks. Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces kill six and wound ten in an attack in El-Fasher. Two killed, over 400 arrested in Morocco in anti-government protests.

Security Flaw Turns Unitree Robots Into Botnets
A critical vulnerability in the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Wi-Fi configuration interface used by several different Unitree robots can result in a root-level takeover by an attacker, security researchers disclosed on 20 September.
The exploit impacts Unitree’s Go2 and B2 quadrupeds and G1 and H1 humanoids. Because the vulnerability is wireless, and the resulting access to the affected platform is complete, the vulnerability becomes wormable, say the researchers, meaning “an infected robot can simply scan for other Unitree robots in BLE range and automatically compromise them, creating a robot botnet that spreads without user intervention.”

Taking abandoned projects and making them usable again or repurpose them is a nice application for LLMs. A lot of the time it's just tedious work of updating dependencies or tooling to what's currently being used.
Mr-clean was a really good idea because it implements reagent semantics without bothering with the VDOM which removes a lot of the complexity and overhead of React. The reason React needs the VDOM is because it's agnostic regarding what might trigger a change to the DOM. However, if your component repaints are driven solely by the state of the reactive atoms then you can just drive the actual DOM based on that. All you really need is to make subscriptions to the atom, and whenever its state is updated then all the subscribed elements are repainted. This is why Reagent is able to get away with only focusing on the render part of the React lifecycle.
AI-Driven Demand for Gas Turbines Risks a New Energy Crunch
Orders for turbines to power natural gas plants are vastly outpacing supply, threatening the world’s ability to keep pace with rising electricity demand.
The decision to do a massive build-out of AI using fossil fuels to power it is going to add significantly to emissions at a time when we need to be phasing out fossil fuels entirely.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX Took Money Directly From Chinese Investors, Company Insider Testifies
[...]
The recent testimony, coming from a SpaceX insider during a court case, marks the first time direct Chinese investment in the privately held company has been disclosed. While there is no prohibition on Chinese ownership in U.S. military contractors, such investment is heavily regulated and the issue is treated by the U.S. government as a significant national security concern.
“They obviously have Chinese investors to be honest,” Iqbaljit Kahlon, a major SpaceX investor, said in a deposition last year, adding that some are “directly on the cap table.” “Cap table” refers to the company’s capitalization table, which lists its shareholders.
Kahlon’s testimony does not reveal the scope of Chinese investment in SpaceX or the identities of the investors. Kahlon has long been close with the company’s leadership and runs his own firm that acts as a middleman for wealthy investors looking to buy shares of SpaceX.
SpaceX keeps its full ownership structure secret. It was previously reported that some Chinese investors had bought indirect stakes in SpaceX, investing in middleman funds that in turn owned shares in the rocket company. The new testimony describes direct investments that suggest a closer relationship with SpaceX.
[...]
National security law experts said federal officials would likely be deeply interested in understanding the direct Chinese investment in SpaceX. Whether there was cause for concern would depend on the details, they said, but the U.S. government has asserted that China has a systematic strategy of using investments in sensitive industries to conduct espionage.
[...]
Buying shares in SpaceX is much more difficult than buying a piece of a publicly traded company like Tesla or Microsoft. SpaceX has control over who can buy stakes in it, and the company’s investors fall into different categories. The most rarefied group is the direct investors, who actually own SpaceX shares. This group includes funds led by Kahlon, Peter Thiel and a handful of other venture capitalists with personal ties to Musk. Then there are the indirect investors, who effectively buy stakes in SpaceX through a middleman like Kahlon. (The indirect investors are actually buying into a fund run by the middleman, typically paying a hefty fee.) All previously known Chinese investors in SpaceX fell into the latter category.
[...]
Kahlon has turned his access to SpaceX stock into a lucrative business. His investor list reads like an atlas of the world. The investors’ names are redacted in the recently unsealed document, but their addresses span from Chile to Malaysia. One is in Russia. At least two are in mainland China. One is in Qatar. (In one email to SpaceX’s chief financial officer, Kahlon said a Los Angeles-based fund had money from the Qatari royal family and was already invested in SpaceX.)
“You made a big fortune,” a China-based financier wrote to Kahlon four years ago. “Lol something like that. SpaceX has been the gift that keeps on giving,” Kahlon responded. “All thanks to you.”

Sounds like someone purchased, or otherwise gained access to, T-Mobile's targeted customer advertising and marketing profile data.
Or, the kind of information that data harvesting applications gather, and then sell to data brokers.
I wonder if they have a grudge against T-Mobile, this is an early stage of a larger plan, or if it's just for the lulz?
🙄it’s not from T-Mobile, it’s a forgery. And, unless the letters are actually cake, we can infer that “fake” in this case means just that.
Please spare us the reddit pedantry. There are much more intelligent discussions to be had around this topic without avoiding it entirely to inject some grammar nitpicking.
Maybe pedantry is not your cup of tea, but I listen to technology connections.
And the best type of correct is technically correct.
The whole reason to be precise about language is because it is confusing when you read something and go "that does not make sense" and then think about it for a minute and then realize what it means.
We don't call them "fake emails" for a reason. It's confusing. Spam email, spurious email, fake sender address, phishing, etc., are less confusing. Same with physical mail. Don't be mad just because I want to read stuff nice.
It's not imprecise at all and it's only confusing if you deliberately misinterpret it to be pedantic.
What do you call a fake ID then?
Are you telling me that my confusion was on purpose?
I'm telling you I was confused.
Don't believe me if you're so smart. Not going to argue.
Either it was on purpose or you're not nearly smart enough to be arguing about grammar and definitions on the internet.
Also you didn't answer my question.
Fake ID claims to be valid proof of id but is not.
From the headline I couldn't tell if the letter was purporting to be from tmobile or just somebody razzing people. I did not read the article. My brain fried on what a "fake letter" was.

Cassini Proves Complex Chemistry in Enceladus Ocean
In 2005, Cassini found the first evidence that Enceladus has a hidden ocean beneath its icy surface. Jets of water burst from cracks close to the moon’s south pole, shooting ice grains into space. Smaller than grains of sand, some of the tiny pieces of ice fall back onto the moon’s surface, whilst others escape and form a ring around Saturn that traces Enceladus’s orbit.

exposing a fan to linux without a fan header
I'm making a small cluster where I want one SBC in charge of the fan. the fan will pull across 2 chambers to cool everything. I want to be able to use standard linux tools to read and control fan speed but the orange pi I'm planning to put in charge of this function doesn't have a typical PC fan header. I have USB ports and GPIO pins I can break out into a microcontroller or some other adaptor or board but I wanted this to be visible to linux with standard tools.
I saw there are various pi PWM boards out there, but they all seem to cover the top of the boards and blow directly down with their own fan. I'm building a case with a single large fan and ducting that pulls air past passive heatsinks so that wont work.
I could just hardwire the fan and let it run full speed all the time, but thats louder and pulling in more dust than it needs to and wont warn me if the fan dies. Surely someone has already solved this problem but I haven't been able to figure out how.
like this
I've recently done almost exactly this, although I used an ESP8266 running esphome. That powers two 120mm fans that have various speed settings (including 0 rpm via PWM) depending on both the power state of various devices in the cupboard where it's housed, as well as temperature. All speeds and controls are exposed to linux via the Home Assitant API, and of course that has its own alerts and dashboards. I wanted to run this fully independently of the machines its cooling.
Not worth pursuing if you don't already have an HA install, but if you do then perhaps worth a thought of a different approach.

Switching the gf to Linux
Tonight I am installing Kubuntu on the gfs machine. Once she is comfortable with that, and the support ends for our version prolly going with Debian. Going to remove her windows drive (256 or 512GB) as there is only 1 m.2 port on the board, and replace it with a 1tb.
Her needs are simple, make Logitec G13 work (works and tested on my machine for months), Make ESO and addons work (Lutris has its own installer for ESO YAY! Minion has a linux version.), and minecraft java (found in app manager).
Now, she has some knock off razor mouse with buttons under the thumb, maybe the razorx software or whatever it's called will work on her mouse?, this may be a slight pain point. I am hoping this will work out and she will be happy with her (new) pc, we are preserving her windows as a fall back if she hates it. I have a short video lined up to teach her the linux file system. She won't be doing anything command line, for now, except to start the G13. Gonna leave her with the dolphin file manager as it is difficult to get elevated privileges compared to nautalis(sp?) where it is a simple checkbox click. Anything else to suggest here?
I can mostly teach her what she needs to know as we go, she is a smart cookie and has picked up everything I taught her for windows and networking so far so should not be an issue for her, but if you guys have any suggestions on tutorial vids for non power users or other things I can do to make this even more seamless it would be appreciated.
Edit: Thank you all for your input, very much appreciated. I will keep monitoring for new posts

My gf recently built a PC for herself and just did moved her from Windows to Kubuntu stable as well. I was kinda surprised, she was the one who came to me and told me that she doesn't want Windows 11 so she's open to try out Linux. I changed to Linux (Debian) myself for a year and a half and she probably noticed that I still play my games and use it the very same way I did with Windows. I told her that most of the apps has alternatives, running games isn't a big a deal anymore and if she really really need to run Windows software, there's a great chance she can. (But this didn't occured).
My only concern was full Huion Kamvas support and crativity apps, 2D drawing and all that... but she's open to use and learn Krita, it seems she likes it. But if that won't work out, my small research told me that ClipStudio Paint (the one she used on Windows) works well with Wine. The Huion tablet just worked out of the box, with pressure sensitivity and all that jazz. (Buttons don't work though, but Huion has official Linux drivers which supposed to make them work, so that's awesome.)

Stephen Miller Implies He Intended for Trump's Nutjobs to Kill Democrats
There was a clear progression here: Miller started by claiming it was fascist to moderate the speech of explicit Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists, but eventually he came to use it about Democrats generally, particularly the Black prosecutors who deigned to prosecute Trump for crimes others also get prosecuted for.
If Miller believes the word fascist inevitably leads to violent targeting, then he needs to be prosecuted himself for the violent threats that Trump’s prosecutors faced, or that immediately plagued Nina Jankowicz.
And while Miller generally stopped using the word fascist after Harris referenced John Kelly’s use of it to apply to Trump (as part of an effort to blame Democrats because a registered Republican who also considered targeting Biden shot at Trump), to this day — even in this speech — Miller uses dehumanizing language every chance he gets. He simply uses “Marxist” or “communist” or “radical” instead.

'None of us have ever asked for special treatment' - US female veterans respond to Hegseth speech
Women who served in the US military are pushing back against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement that the requirements for combat roles will "return to the highest male standard", saying the standards have always been the same for men and women.
"None of us have ever asked for special treatment," Elisa Cardnell, who served in the US Navy for eleven years, told the BBC.
Speaking to hundreds of generals on Tuesday, Hegseth reiterated his beliefs that the military had lowered standards to accommodate women and put service members at risk. His new directives would bring them back to a higher level, he said.
"If it means no women qualify for combat jobs, then so be it," he said.

An appeals court judge who blocked the closure of Ron DeSantis’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration jail is married to a powerful conservative attorney whose law firm has raked in millions of dollars from the Republican Florida governor’s administration, it has been revealed.
Barbara Lagoa authored the 11th circuit court of appeal’s 2-1 ruling last month that paused the Miami district judge Kathleen Williams’s earlier order that the harsh detention facility in the Florida Everglades must be wound down within 60 days.
Alligator Alcatraz is now fully operational again, with the Miami Herald reporting this month that hundreds of detainees held there by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) had “dropped off the grid”.

U.S. to Share Intelligence With Ukraine for Strikes on Russian Energy Sites as Washington Asks NATO Allies to Provide Kyiv with Similar Support
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/43352808
ArchivedU.S. President Donald Trump has authorized American intelligence agencies to provide Ukraine with targeting data for strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, including oil refineries, pipelines and power plants, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing anonymous American officials.
The order, which directs the Pentagon and intelligence services to supply the information, came shortly before Trump said that he believed Ukraine could win the war and reclaim all of its territory from Russia, the report said.
Trump has voiced increasing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin as his efforts to mediate an end to the war have flatlined, and the intelligence-sharing is the latest signal that he is now deepening his support for Kyiv.
Washington has also asked NATO allies to provide Kyiv with similar support, according to the sources.
