Hegseth Says Four ‘Narco-Terrorists’ Killed in Latest US Attack on Venezuela Boat


The US has attacked multiple Venezuelan boats in recent weeks, with US officials saying the goal of the strikes is regime change in Venezuela as opposed to the war on drugs. Along with the airstrikes of boats, a US destroyer boarded and seized a Venezuelan boat in mid-September, which the Venezuelan government insists was a tuna fishing vessel.

I'm gonna bet money on a Venezuela-USA war within the next 3 years
in reply to femur

I hope not. I also see that one of the few smart things Maduro has done recently is to not give the USA an excuse to attack Venezuela.

It feels similar to what happened in the first Trump administration against Iran.



Donald Trump orders Israel to ‘immediately’ stop bombing Gaza as Hamas agrees to free hostages

Donald Trump ordered Israel to “immediately” stop bombing Gaza as he welcomed Hamas’s partial acceptance of his ultimatum to end the nearly two-year war.

Hamas has agreed to release all hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, as well as surrender governing power in the Gaza Strip, in accordance with Trump’s plan.

In a statement on Friday evening, the Palestinian militant group asked for further negotiations on other parts of the plan, and did not say whether it would lay down its arms – a key part of Trump’s proposal unveiled on Monday.

Despite the qualified response by Hamas, Trump said in a post on Truth Social: “Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE."

in reply to x00z

Hamas has prisoners, it’s the propaganda that calls them hostages. If you want to call them hostages, you should call the prisoners that Israel has hostages as well.


Actually, propaganda is what you are doing.

A hostage is someone :

1. That isn't sentenced for anything.

2. That can not be precisely located anywhere.

3. That doesn't know if he will be released or killed by his captors.

For instance, Nelson Mandela wasn't a hostage. He was a political prisoner.

(A political prisoner is still a prisoner)

in reply to Peter Link

“Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that.


Meaning that as soon as the hostages are out the bombing can continue?

in reply to wurzelgummidge

Or they wait for trump to try again with the nobel peace prize and then continue
in reply to Peter Link

What Trump doesn’t understand because he’s an ignorant idiot is that Netanyahu needs this war to keep power and it has nothing to do with hostages or anything but that for him anymore. And his far right crony government wants more land for their murderous expansionism. I will be shocked if this changes anything.

Why does this article insist on pretending that the report was unintentionally wrong?
in reply to blargle

Presumably because you'd have to prove in court that there was intention.
in reply to blargle

This seems to be as close as they get:

This serves as a litmus test for the report’s scientific credibility. A commitment to scientific integrity requires the authors to produce a point-by-point response to the expert comments, overseen by an independent review editor.

A refusal to do so would suggest that the report should be viewed as an advocacy piece rather than a scientific document, and its conclusions should be treated with caution.

Kansas special session on trans law would be 'more important than redistricting'


Top Kansas Republicans want the Legislature to hold a special session to amend a state law related to transgender people, which they say is "even more important than redistricting."

The move comes after the Kansas Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Attorney General Kris Kobach related to Senate Bill 180. That 2023 law is the subject of a legal dispute over whether it blocks trans people from changing their gender marker on their driver's license.

It also comes at a time when Republicans are moving toward calling a special session on redistricting with a goal of gerrymandering the congressional district maps.

casini palestrinesi e la rogna del popolo quando puzza di niente o di tutto


La giornata d’oggi è andata tutto ok, per me, senza incidenti costosi… motivo per cui è proprio il momento perfetto per fare la democristiana — come al solito, ma pericolosamente più del solito; si prega di godere a riguardo — parlando circa la più attuale attualità che ha visto il più sventurato resto del nostro paese (o del mondo?) oggi… perché non riesco a capire tutta l’ultima questione a proposito dello sciopero per la Palestina; nel senso che pure stavolta non si riesce ad essere non dico d’accordo tra le parti, ma a stare un minimo tranquilli… 😓

Con lo sciopero di settembre già avevo sentito rogne, ma tutto sommato niente di ché; hanno fatto cose non buone in 1 sola città (il tugurio che già è Milano… quindi in realtà niente di valore fu perduto), e ovviamente i governanti hanno strumentalizzato la cosa, e le pecore che gli vanno appresso hanno quindi urlato… ma per il resto andò tutto bene e poca gente si è lamentata (almeno, su Internet ho visto meno cose cringe, poi boh). Con quello di oggi, però veramente ho letto cose… da un lato troppi cortei disordinati e sfocianti comunque in un dato livello di violenza, dall’altro gente “alternativa”, “contro il pensiero unico” che fa tutta l’indignata ed insulta o augura il male a chi supporta lo sciopero, e di risposta quelli della prima categoria che fanno lo stesso indietro a loro… che schifo. 💔

Se devo essere sincera e dire la mia precisamentepiù o meno, perché su tutta la storia ho idee che non si assimilano né al mainstream né ai complottari malefici di cui sopra, e servirebbe un post solo per spiegarle bene, quindi evito ora (…ma, se qualcuno proprio ci tiene, si può presentare di fronte casa mia e andiamo al bar; e, ovviamente, il caffé mi deve essere offerto, quindi astenersi poveri) — questo sciopero non mi sta super a genio… perché, per quanto Israele non mi stia per niente simpatico, neanche certe cose palestinesi le trovo buone… però, capisco e non critico, e anzi farei i complimenti a chi partecipa, perché comunque dietro c’è un’idea di bene e pace (magari poco pensata, ma oggettivamente c’è)… Non è che, visto che le premesse secondo me sono fallate, allora ho il diritto morale di dire le cose brutte. 🙄

…Certo, al contempo non mi piace per niente se, da idee apprezzabili, ci si fa trasportare troppo di lato e si finisce per fare il disastro, e si usa quindi la forza, come stavolta invece è successo in diverse città; qui “da me”, per dire, hanno provato a forzare il blocco anti-blocco della polizia (…non si dice così, ma ci siamo capiti) al porto, che non è buono… così come non è buono che la polizia abbia risposto a sua volta con la violenza fisica, contro anche dei minorenni… ma a cosa mai può portare la violenza se non ad altra violenza? Stop violenza, porca troia. Stop violenza qui da noi e, ovviamente — lo auspico ogni volta che mi ricordo, quindi da diverse volte al giorno a quantomeno svariate volte alla settimana — stop violenza in medio oriente, ma stop violenza sempre e ovunque, che non ce la faccio più a vivere sapendo queste cose. 😭

…Ah, e stop anche ignavismo; c’è tanta gente che all’apparenza sarebbe simile a me in questi pensieri, ma in realtà semplicemente non se ne frega proprio… e anche questo, per me, non è buono affatto, perché non bisogna mai chiudere gli occhi ai mali del mondo solo perché non ci toccano personalmente. Io agli scioperi in piazza non ci sono andata, perché come detto non sono d’accordissimo, e poi stamattina (purtroppo!!!) le mie lezioni c’erano regolarmente… Ma, ieri pomeriggio, all’università, in più di un’ora in cui non avevo nulla da fare, essendo passato lo strambo corteo palestinese (circa ricollegabile ai poli umanistici) che faceva semplicemente un giro con le bandiere e i canti, di mia spontanea volontà l’ho seguito, pur senza spiccicare una sillaba, così, per sfizio… mentre tizi altrettanto strambi e che non conosco (pochi eh, ma comunque), ma lì del polo di informatica, quando questi sono passati a far casino per invogliare gente ad unirsi, hanno ridacchiato o detto cose inutili (…e, stranamente, ma strano solo per modo di dire, questi erano solo ragazzi… le altre ragazze lì non hanno fiatato, similmente a me, pur rimanendo magari nelle proprie cose e non unendosi). Da come fanno, sembra che non gli possa fregare di meno dei bambini che muoiono e tutto quanto… boh, non mi piace che la gente sia così. 😶
Vista dalla fessura come descritto, della gente fuori con la bandieraVista della bandiera palestinese verso il cielo da qualche metro di distanza sotto di fronteAllego due (2) foto che ho scattato ieri, a proposito… di cui una fa ridere, perché vedevo il corteo fermo dove stavo io dalle fessure dell’aula studio… proprio come se li osservassi dalle pareti, dove normalmente vivo. E, nota a margine che forse può tornare utile per qualche burla, almeno per chi vive in ufficio o a scuola: questi qui usavano rotoli di scotch per fare rumore, sbattendoli su parti di metallo o plastica di interni ed esterni, come porte o infissi o boh… e non avevo mai visto niente del genere, ma è geniale, per quanto bordello fa pur essendo per via di un oggetto che in genere non appare rumoroso! (Anche se poi a me, tutto sommato, i cortei bordellosi manco piacciono… preferisco, per così dire, quelli più da anziani, ma pazienza.)

Megachurch pastor and ex-Trump (spiritual) adviser pleads guilty to child sexual abuse


cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/47246639

Cindy Clemishire, 55, the woman who publicly identified herself as the victim of Morris’s sexual abuse, was present in the courtroom as he pleaded guilty. In a prepared statement she told him: “There is no such thing as consent from a 12-year-old child. We were never in an ‘inappropriate relationship.’ I was not a ‘young lady’ but a child. You committed a crime against me.”

A leaked transcript of a phone call revealed that in 2005 Morris tried to bribe Clemishire into silence, telling her to “put a price on it”.

He also became a spiritual adviser to Donald Trump. He joined the White House spiritual advisory committee during the first Trump presidency and was part of a campaign to mobilize evangelical voters for him in last year’s presidential campaign.

Trump also visited Gateway church in 2020 where he praised Morris and his senior team as “great people with a great reputation”.

Running a command only when resuming from the hibernation part of suspend-then-hibernate?


In the interest of maximizing battery life, I've set up suspend-then-hibernate on my laptop. Using a discrete window manager, so I have a systemd unit that locks the screen when I close the lid. After an hour, it automatically goes into hibernation.

All is well, until I have to boot up from hibernation. I'm prompted to unlock LUKS, then I'm hit with a redundant lock screen once resumed. I've tried setting up systemd units referencing suspend-then-hibernate.target and hibernate.target, but I can't get it to kill the screen locker when resuming from hibernation only, so I don't have to type in my password twice. Is there any way to have systemd discriminate between the suspend and hibernate parts of suspend-then-hibernate?

in reply to monovergent

You don't want anything like what you're attempting.

1) Bypassing either password challenge for simplicity's sake is just defeating the purpose of having LUKS on the full disk anyway. Just encrypt your home of that's a problem for you and simplify things.
2) Killing your lock screen from the session manager is going to cause all kinds of problems, so that's not going to help. It's not JUST a plain old process to kill, it's the session manager. You kill it, and it's going to ask you again anyway, and likely destroy your existing session.

Instead, look into Clevis. Pair it with your TPM, and set it to handle the lower level LUKS challenge. Learn about it to understand the tradeoffs in security, but it's going to be more secure than what you're attempting.

in reply to just_another_person

This is for a SeaBIOS system without functional TPM.

Bypassing either password challenge for simplicity’s sake is just defeating the purpose of having LUKS on the full disk anyway. Just encrypt your home of that’s a problem for you and simplify things.


Could you explain this? I do not see how it would compromise the security model since the lock screen would be dismissed only after the LUKS password is entered. The screenlocker is only relevant when suspended to RAM as the LUKS key is no longer in RAM once hibernated.

Killing your lock screen from the session manager is going to cause all kinds of problems, so that’s not going to help. It’s not JUST a plain old process to kill, it’s the session manager. You kill it, and it’s going to ask you again anyway, and likely destroy your existing session.


I am using slock, which is separate from my session manager (startx in ~/.profile), and in my testing, I was able to kill it without issue.

in reply to monovergent

If you don't care about the session manager password challenge, then set it to allow you to automatically login. Then you only have the LUKS challenge, and if you're comfortable with that, go for it.
in reply to monovergent

If killing your lock screen unlocks the system, that signals there is actually little protection. Killing a lock screen should kill the session and log you out, or at least render the session unusable.

If you still want to go that route, you could wrap your hibernation process in a script or use a slightly more complex service setup to kill it once, by inspecting system/service state and enqueued systemctl operations, you determine hibernation is done (not pending)

in reply to jutty

How so? The lock screen is to prevent physical access while you're away, and an attacker can't kill it without having access in the first place. Any process that can kill it would already have access to your session.
in reply to Lojcs

Not all processes that can send a kill signal to another process have the same degree of access as physical access. The fact they are already running inside the session doesn't automatically imply they have unrestricted access. In fact, you could argue no access at all a process has can compare to physical access. So that's quite an escalation.
in reply to jutty

I don't follow your thought process. I didn't say every running process could kill the lock screen or if it can kill the lock screen it can access everything else, I said any process that kills the lock screen has to be running. And as the attacker with physical access doesn't know the password they can't run anything to kill the lock screen. The only way for them to unlock it is if they already have malware on the device, in which case their physical access isn't the cause of the problem.
Questa voce è stata modificata (1 mese fa)
in reply to Lojcs

I'm focusing on the lock screen as having one single job to do well: protect the session from any access not granted exclusively through the password.

You posit this as if the attacker and the killing of the lock screen were connected: the attacker can only kill if they already have malware, so "it doesn't matter". But the point is, if the lock screen won't relinquish access upon receiving the kill signal, even if the attacker had compromised this vector, or if there were some other cause behind the lock screen dying, crashing, whatever, access would not be granted in the first place. It stops at that layer.

Thinking in terms of "if they already can access the system, whatever" is different from thinking about security in depth/layers. So its not so much about the cause of the problem, but where you can contain it. This threat (a physical access attacker) is pretty extreme, but if we are going there, then yes, it's not unfeasible to think that they could leverage this weakness to go from a possibly limited shell access to a fully unlocked physical session where you could have unrestricted access to e.g. a browser or unlocked password manager or other in-memory information.

But the two things don't really need to be connected. The lock screen having a secondary way to allow access that does not require the password is a weakness in itself, that the attacker could exploit, but that should not have been there in the first place.

Look into man 8 systemd-suspend.service

Immediately before entering system suspend and/or hibernation systemd-suspend.service (and the other mentioned units, respectively) will run all executables in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ and pass two arguments to them. The first argument will be "pre", the second either "suspend", "hibernate", "hybrid-sleep", or "suspend-then-hibernate" depending on the chosen action.
