Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021...'has reached end of support' warning (?!)
Hi guys! So...yeah, I have a W10 IoT LTSC permanently activated via massgrave getting this warning. Any idea what's up? Shouldn't it continue chugging along for a good few years more?
EDIT: This is a VM, as I run mainly Linux on everything if I can avoid it. I'm just feating there might be more like this.

Pale eoliche per le Crete Senesi? Tra poco si arriva alle sportellate
Sono già iniziati i vari incontri per discutere della questione, è stato istituito un comitato, ed ora vedremo quale sarà l'evolversi della situazione.
Eolico si, eolico no, per quanto mi riguarda non sono del tutto contrario all'eolico, ma se, come sembra essere dai rumors, queste pale NON porteranno nessun beneficio a noi residenti del posto (sembra che l'energia prodotta verrà venduta e non distribuita), allora sono decisamente contrario.

Greta Thunberg: “They kicked me every time the flag touched my face”
This is not about me or the others from the flotilla. There are thousands of Palestinians, hundreds of whom are children, who are being held without trial right now, and many of them are most likely being tortured, says Greta Thunberg.
What we have been through is only a small, small part of what Palestinians have experienced. On the walls of our prison cells, we saw bullet holes with bloodstains and messages carved into the walls by Palestinian prisoners who had been there before us.
When I’m about to get off the boat, there are a bunch of police officers waiting for me. They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me.
Greta Thunberg describes how she is dragged to a paved area fenced in with iron fences. This is a protracted scene that lasts for over six hours, according to Greta, and is confirmed by several participants in the flotilla that Aftonbladet talks to.
It was kind of dystopian. I saw maybe 50 people sitting in a row on their knees with handcuffs and their foreheads against the ground. They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.
They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. ‘A special place for a special lady’, they said. And then they had learned ‘Lilla hora’ (Little removed) and ‘Hora Greta’ (removed Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.
The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that.

Candace Owens: Australia’s high court backs minister’s decision to deny visa to US rightwinger
Home affairs minister’s 2024 decision to reject visa application for planned speaking tour on character grounds upheld
Australia’s high court has unanimously backed the government’s 2024 decision to refuse the rightwing provocateur Candace Owens a visa to enter the country.
The full bench of the court ruled on Wednesday that the minister’s denial did not infringe an implied constitutional freedom of political communication.
Last October the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, refused Owens’ visa application before a planned national speaking tour, arguing that she had the “capacity to incite discord”.
Burke said at the time the US conservative influencer and podcast host, who has advanced conspiracy theories and antisemitic rhetoric – including allegedly minimising Nazi medical experiments in concentration camps – did not pass the “character test” to receive a visa under the Migration Act.

This looks more like another instagram clone rather than Facebook. Building a following of strangers rather than a network of people you actually know.
I've yet to see a proper alternative (fediverse or not) to the way Facebook originally helped to keep connected to friends and family. To plan events. To keep your posts only visible to your friends. That's the part that is hard to give up.
(Yes, I know friendica is supposed to be the fediverse answer to that. But it's really not accomplished that yet. It's just a skin over mastodon.)
Anticipazioni Uominiedonne 14/10/25. La tronista Sara Gaudenzi frega un corteggiatore a Cristiana Aniana
Approfondiamo le ultime anticipazioni delle nuove registrazioni di Uomini e Donne, che promettono un sorprendente colpo di scena nel trono classico.
#Anticipazioni Uomini e Donne: Sara Gaudenzi conquista un corteggiatore conteso
Martedì 14 ottobre 2025 si sono svolte le recenti registrazioni del popolare dating show di Maria De Filippi, in onda su Canale 5. Le novità riguardano sia il trono classico sia il trono over, portando con sé momenti di tensione e sviluppo nei sentimenti dei protagonisti.
Anticipazioni sulle registrazioni di Uomini e Donne
Durante le registrazioni, Jakub Bakkour è stato nuovamente invitato nello studio. Dopo la sua scelta di eliminarsi nella puntata precedente e la decisione di Cristiana Anania di non inseguirlo, la situazione ha avuto un inaspettato cambio di rotta. Sara Gaudenzi, la nuova tronista del trono classico, ha espresso il desiderio di conoscerlo meglio e lo ha fatto rientrare nel programma. Jakub ha accettato subito, provocando qualche polemica che potrebbe creare rivalità tra le due troniste. Di Flavio Ubirti e delle sue corteggiatrici non è stato fatto alcun accenno durante la registrazione, che si è poi concentrata sui partecipanti del trono over.
#Federico e Agnese: nuovi sviluppi nel trono over
Passando alle storie del trono over, si riapre il capitolo legato a Gemma Galgani. La dama torinese, decisa a farsi valere, è tornata a puntare il dito contro Mario Lenti. Dopo un aspro confronto al centro dello studio, Mario ha rivelato di non desiderare nemmeno un rapporto amichevole con Gemma, criticando la sua incoerenza nell’alternare complimenti e critiche.
Un’altra storia interessante riguarda Federico Mastrostefano, che ha scelto di riprendere il rapporto con Agnese De Pasquale, lasciando da parte la precedente decisione di chiudere ogni possibilità di conoscenza. Secondo le anticipazioni, Federico avrebbe dichiarato di sentirsi coinvolto per circa il 75% nella relazione. La registrazione si è poi conclusa con la prima sfilata femminile di questa edizione, che ha visto Agnese conquistare la vittoria.

Eavesdropping on Internal Networks via Unencrypted Satellites
Major Security Flaws Found in Satellite Communications
Researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Maryland revealed that nearly half of geostationary satellite signals transmit unencrypted data, exposing sensitive communications from telecom networks, military operations, and critical infrastructure1.
Using just $800 in off-the-shelf equipment - a satellite dish, roof mount, motor and tuner card - the team intercepted vast amounts of unprotected data over three years from their San Diego location2. Their findings included:
- T-Mobile cellular network traffic, including over 2,700 phone numbers and one-sided call/text content captured in just 9 hours2
- U.S. military vessel communications and Mexican military/law enforcement data, including helicopter locations and narcotics intelligence2
- Critical infrastructure communications from power grids and offshore oil platforms3
- In-flight WiFi data from 10 different airlines2
"It just completely shocked us. There are some really critical pieces of our infrastructure relying on this satellite ecosystem, and our suspicion was that it would all be encrypted," said Aaron Schulman, UCSD professor who co-led the research2.
After being notified, some companies like T-Mobile quickly added encryption, while others, including certain U.S. critical infrastructure operators, have yet to secure their systems3.
The researchers estimate they accessed only 15% of global satellite transponders from their single location, suggesting the vulnerability's true scope is far larger2. Johns Hopkins professor Matt Green noted: "The fact that this much data is going over satellites that anyone can pick up with an antenna is just incredible"2.

Inside the Improbable, Audacious and (So Far) Unstoppable Rise of Zohran Mamdani
For months now, Mamdani has been meeting privately with former leaders in city government, business executives, heads of New York arts and cultural institutions and skeptical local Democrats.
He has sought common ground. He has heard out his critics, including wealthy New Yorkers in business and finance and some pro-Israel activists who are turned off by his lifelong advocacy for Palestinians or offended by his reluctance to immediately condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” the use of which he later discouraged.
Robert Wolf, another Partnership for New York City member and a major fund-raiser for the Democratic Party, told me that he has begun texting with the candidate, becoming an informal pulse check for the city’s finance and business community.
“Zohran, to me, is more of a progressive capitalist,” Wolf told me, adding that he was convinced by their private interactions that Mamdani understood the importance of the private sector thriving in his New York.
The conversations have allowed Mamdani to reframe his previous positions, tweaking the us-versus-them language of his democratic-socialist values to be a tad less punitive. He has made it clear that he wants to support renters, not punish landlords. He wants to support public education, not take a hammer to specialized schools with elite admissions. He supports Palestinian rights; he’s not anti-Zionist. He made key concessions when it comes to policing. Importantly, he made clear that he was open to compromise when it came to his proposed millionaires’ tax. Call it Mamdani 2.0.

Fotovoltaico, quale normativa ?
Da quanto ho letto, pare che l'installazione di un impianto fotovoltaico rientri nell'Edilizia libera, a meno che la sede dell'installazione non rientri in aree vincolate o soggette a norme particolari come potrebbero essere i centri storici o aree tutelate. In tal caso, pare occorra una autorizzazione o una dichiarazione certificata. Penso sia bene accertarsi della cosa consultando lo strumento urbanistico del proprio Comune.

Trump is going to be in charge of two of the longest US government shutdowns in history by a long shot. The fact that we can't just kick all the bums out and replace them when this kind of shit happens is a travesty.
I'm betting this will at least be a two month long shutdown if not indefinite shutdown because the Republicans want to break government so badly they're just willing to keep it shutdown at this point.
"We broke the government, which proves government doesn't work, which is why you need to trust us (the people who broke it) to save you from government" has been their whole shtick my entire fucking life.
Cheapest VPN in the long term for watching movies and tv shows?
My country never cared about this, but recently some people started getting fines. I generally pay for my games; I only use ReVanced and watch TV shows online.
What would be the cheapest VPN in the long run for this? As I said, I don't torrent, so port forwarding and stuff like that I don't care about.
There's also antimalware software bundled with the M365 subscription on Amazon; I've been using the VPN from that for a bit now.
Edit: Btw, do you think an antimalware VPN is safe? It's never been a problem (never like the USA, for example) over here in the EU, but recently they started slightly hunting pirates (never heard of anyone I know though). So yeah, maybe a simple VPN may suffice until they decide to go hardcore style?

it'd be cool if their android app could get updated. and they fix the feed from just showing you the same string of videos constantly.
other than those two things im sure it will be awesome.
I have been doing some uploading there for a few mths. My biggest gripe is that they support 60 second videos, but anything over 15 seconds (for me) never finishes uploading.
I have seen the repeats too though.
I see a lot of these threads praising loops and i have never been able to use it effectively despite my efforts. =( and I have really wanted it to.
I am curious about the length restriction as well. I wonder if these are all things they're going to address and fix. but you'd think they'd have done all that before making announcements and whatnot.
The next sumud flotilla is kicking off!
I am really impressed by how well organized they are and how much they have been able to accomplish so little funding. The Global March to Gaza, then the Sumud Floatila have been some great ideas for significant peaceful action.
During the last flotilla and just afterward we saw:
- A general strike in Italy.
- Spanish and Italian war ships deployed.
- Spain's complete arms embargo is enshrined into law
- Many nations recognized Palestine for the first time and reaffirmed their recognition.
- Even the US, the most significant sponsor of the genocide, proposed the best peace plan of this administration and took a small but material step in opposition to Israel.
I'm hopeful the momentum continues and I think these people have demonstrated their trustworthiness as much as any group.

Il telefono è tornato a squillare. E con lui, Ethan Hawke.
In Black Phone 2, Scott Derrickson riporta in vita il suo villain più inquietante: il Rapace, tra incubi, nevi insanguinate e visioni dal passato.
Un horror visivamente straordinario, dove la pellicola analogica diventa linguaggio di paura — ma la sceneggiatura inciampa tra citazioni e spiegoni.
Un po’ Nightmare, un po’ Stranger Things, con un’anima che resta sospesa tra inferno e redenzione.

LibreWolf support for appamor
apparmor comes with several profiles, and if in your distro it doesn't include one for librewolf, you can use the firefox one. And if there's no available one and you would be interested in combine it with firejail then most probably firejail will come with with a profile for firefox or librewolf and usually with support for apparmor. Regardless of the distros, the arch wiki can guide you with apparmor and firejail. I recommend becoming familiar with both. Another option if there's no profile on your distro is to look into another distro's profile. ubuntu used include some software with apparmor out of the box so perhaps it's a good source of profiles...
Also in this same community there's an old post precisely about what you're asking for, though it's a bit dated, you may want to scroll for some time until getting to it.
Edit:
Firejail is insecure, my bad. Better to use bubblewrap (I didn't know about bubblejail). The thing is that firejail offers profiles combined with apparmor which might have solved the lack of apparmor profiles. For my personal purposes I hope to take a look at bubblejail to have an easier way to do sandboxing. You can see the arch wiki bubblewrap examples to notice how bubblewrap doesn't help with apparmor profiles though. According to the arch wiki for bubblejail or the GH page for bubblejail profiles are used and can easily be created, however I have no idea of the interaction with apparmor, and if as with firejail such profiles include apparmor stuff, but intuitively I guess it doesn't.
Going back to apparmor, which is MAC enforcement, if no profiles available on your distro for librewolf neither firefox, then looking at other distros is OK, and also one can create profiles as well as one can also modify existent or available ones. See for example the arch wiki for apparmor.

firejail
I would recommend not touching Firejail unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing, as it can (and probably will) worsen security.
Flatpak's use of bubblewrap (it comes from flatpak but then it became its own project) is not a good example, see:
madaidans-insecurities.github.…
But in general this is true. I talked out of memory, but firejail given its suid way is considered insecure (possible privilege escalation), that's right
Seeking active federated communities for command line tips and tricks
I'm looking for active federated communities on the fediverse where users share tips, tricks, and best practices for using the command line. Something similar to the Arch Linux forums but accessible through the fediverse.
I've checked out a few communities like Command Line@lemmy.ml (1.47K subscribers) and Command Line@programming.dev (2.09K subscribers), but they seem to have many subscribers but no active users per month. It feels like Lemmy smothers these niche communities somehow.
Does anyone know of other active federated communities or instances where command line enthusiasts gather to share knowledge and help each other out?

Brazil’s first private Amazon road paves new trade route to China as pro-deforestation mindset prevails
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44101271
Archived
- Brazil’s government has signed a 30-year contract to privatize a section of the BR-364 highway, a key part of its plan to create an overland corridor to Peru to streamline commodity exports to China.
- Critics warn that expanding the highway into well-preserved rainforest risks repeating its history by attracting illegal loggers and land grabbers, a pattern that previously cleared vast areas for agriculture.
[...]
Fueled by soybean, corn and beef production, [the Brazilian state of] Rondônia is now one of Brazil’s leading agribusiness states, where a pro-deforestation mindset prevails, rooted in a population largely disconnected from the forest, rivers and traditional Amazonian culture. This view gained renewed momentum under Jair Bolsonaro, the far-right president from 2019-2022, who won all 52 of Rondônia’s municipalities in both the 2018 and 2022 elections.
Cutting across Rondônia, BR-364 has become a key route for moving grain, beef and minerals to ports on the Madeira River in Porto Velho. From there, commodities from Brazil’s central-west region are shipped downriver to foreign markets via the Atlantic Ocean.

in reply to iturnedintoanewt • • •Na there are a bunch of caveats and different types of Windows 10/11 Enterprise and specifically IoT Enterprise.
Go back to their wiki pages cuz you are guna have to re-do the activation process and should nake sure you are setting it up per the provided instructions. Ive had windows 11 Enterprise IoT running for over a year now and its the best exclusive to Windows/Microsoft decision I ever made.
Microsoft makes a relatively great product in its Enterprise line, stripping most of the spy/bloatware out and allowing simple user configuration settings changes to kill the rest, plus all the advertised tools/software that only comes with an Enterprise shit.
Then they strip all the useful tools out, facefuck as much bloatware as they can jizz into your PC while buttfucking even more spyware into your PC raw dog style with so much breaking of everything with every fuckin update they release and call that fucking bastard Windows 10/11 Home Edition.
Im sorry I forgot what this conversation was about buuuuutttt fuck Windows in their fucking fuckhole is the TLDR.
Edit: This is all going entirely off memory wirh a huge iirc asterisks on it. I definitely remember having to do the set up over and over again, tho, figuring out which version was the best option for my use. I got the bitch set up now with local account, zero microsoft account affiliation and dont update fuckall unless its severe severe severe security risk. Its the best and most consistent my PC has ever ran.

in reply to Blue_Morpho • • •Not disagreeing but this isnt a form of pirating. They didnt break shit, they didnt hack shit and they didnt exploit shit. Microsoft built their entire DRM software in a way that was able to be recerse engineered.
Again, not contradicting anything you recommended. I just wanted to point this out for any lurkers because I cant encourage this option enough for anyone forced into putting up with Windows. You are actually uaing the same activation codes that microsoft themselves generate and distribute to their customers.
I can confirm it works for Windows 10, 11, for any iteration of 23h or 24h, all Office applications, both individually and packaged, visual studio, and I wanna say Adobe but that one im not 100% on.
Its been over a year and as I said above im going off memory but I think I went with IoT Enterprise because of how nominal the differences were from Windows Server but also wanted to check out the IoT Enterprise because my cousin was starting his own fabrication/manufacturing company at that time and it was a good opportunity to see what his options were for future scalability that came with IoT Enterprise.

The DMCA (and compatible laws in non-US countries, which those countries have to have or they're not allowed a trade deal, and not having a trade deal with the US is devastating for an economy) doesn't require copyright holders to do anything to defend their copyright. It does make it illegal to do (nearly) anything with copyrighted media that you don't have explicit permission to do from the copyright holder (there are some exceptions, but people generally think they go further than they really do). It also makes it illegal to do (nearly) anything to circumvent DRM, even if you have a legal right to use the thing that the DRM is protecting, no matter how crappy the DRM is and how easily it can be bypassed.
You're allowed to think that the law is stupid (it's the DMCA - everyone who looks at it and isn't a multibillion dollar publishing company thinks it's stupid), but that doesn't mean that it's not the law, and for legal terms like piracy, you can't just substitute your own definition based on what should be legal if it conflicts with the definition that says what really is legal.
The reason why non-crap DRM exists when there's no legal reason to make it not crap is the same reason why DRM exists at all when there's no legal reason to have DRM at all when piracy of DRM-free stuff is already a crime. It's that publishers think that the more of a hassle it is to pirate things, the more likely people are to buy things legally. Technically, a shareholder could sue a company for using crap DRM that failed to protect their IP, but the company has a decent defence by saying that they felt that intrusive DRM would hurt their reputation with legitimate customers, so not using strong DRM is not grounds to say a company's been negligent and liable for any losses they make due to piracy.

It's like DeCSS code that strips drm from DVDs was legally grey but downloading movies you didn't pay for is illegal.

Yep, and that negligence/ignorance you're liable for in this case is piracy.
You're welcome to disagree with a bad law (and make no mistake, I absolutely think it's a bad law), but you're still liable for breaking laws you don't agree with. By all means break it, but don't pretend you're not breaking it, and make sure you take reasonable precautions to keep yourself safe while doing so.

in reply to Passerby6497 • • •You're picking up what im putting down lol. Didn't mean to say I was disagreeing with what youre saying just in this case especially:
Where I've paid for each new pc build to just have a blank slate and not carry over my digital footprint for microsoft from one build to the next. Also, tho, im not taking what isnt already mine, im just using a work around for dealing with microsoft's atrocious customer service.
Again, not saying this will hold up in a court of law, jist saying I dont lose any sleep over it.
Bonus rationalization: fuckin outlooks locked in and un-adjustable junk mail filters have auto filtered Microsoft own emails for upcoming annual Office invoices to my junk folder that I used to rarely check before getting slammed with over a $100 charge for Office eliminating my ability to use the email reminders as notification to cancel my subscription cuz even if you paid for a year of Office but wanna cancel a month into the year so you dont forget, microsoft says naaaaaaa you lose the remaining 11 months of paid software access.

in reply to 11111one11111 • • •Downloading movies you haven't paid for is also piracy even if there's no drm. Microsoft doesn't need to put any copy protection for it still to be piracy.
Piracy has nothing to do with copy protection.
