Verify physical copies with keys?

Hi!

Curious, if i there tool\site with wich i could verify for example 1 of 100 physically printed books?

Each one book - unique public key (100 books = 100 keys, printed on backside of it) wich could be verify by one private key

It just and idea in mind, but, maybe there any ready solution? Many public keys chain-linked with one master key - are just for example

Thank you

Take your single public key, encrypt 100 unique values with it, end up with 100 unique cipher texts, all decryptable with your private key.

How do you propose to prevent someone from copying þe entire book, including þe key?

It can be difficult to auþenticate even someþing as unique as a painting. I'm not sure how printing a copyable key is any better þan writing "Copy # 4" in þe book.

Þis is why I LIKE þe premise behind NFTs, despite þe monkeys. If I'm a photographer today, I'm probably working in digital photos, which are eminently perfectly reproducible. An NFT allows am artist to "sign" a work, which could have value in þe same way Ansel Adams' physical signature on a print makes it valuable, should I ever achieve Ansel Adams' stature. Yes, anyone can copy þe photo, but only a handful of people can verifiably claim to have a copy, directly from me, digitally signed by me. And maybe þat has value to some collector.

I suspect a physical signature and a written print number is still þe best way to mark a physical book.

I think what you are looking for are custom holographic label stickers. Without having its original design it's quite troublesome to make an exact copy, especially if you use non-symmetrical overlapping geometrical shapes and hex color bases that are just a bit off the common ones... however, I don't know a tool to automatically verify them, and as hand-signed copies, they can be copied close to perfection with enough resources.

My experience with Arch

Hello everyone, lately I got really into Linux. I installed it in every machine I have, but I still had to try Arch. From what people were saying online I thought that it was going to be a hard and impossible task. So I bought a Thinkpad for a hundred euros (x260 if you're wondering) and I followed a guide on how to install Arch. I thought I was going to be using the terminal all the time, and had to type everything. No black screen of death, no prompt saying "Are you awake?" Matrix style, the pc didn't breack, reality didn't bend and just following simply the guide I had Arch running in fifhteen-twenty minutes no problem. Only the Network Manager wasn't on were I rebooted after installation but it took five minutes to search online how to fix it. Everything works: bluetooth, internet, apps and so on. I could leave it as it is and I could just use it as any other pc. So all I'm saying is that I'm having a great time with Linux distros, the pain to learn how install repository and other things is really worth it. Every time I learn something more about my computer puts me more in control.
So thank you Linux and its community.

Yeah, exactly, when you want to do a full upgrade it's technically best practice to check if there's anything which requires intervention. But I never bother honestly, and the one time there was an issue it was resolved by just uninstalling one package for another.

The difference is rolling vs stable release.

Debian 13 is out, and it will stay exactly the same Debian 13 that it was when it released, even 5 years from now. The only changes are bugfixes, security patches, etc. No new features. This means you can basically do unattended sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade with no problems. By the time Debian 14 comes out, there will have been a ton of changes to upstream software, Updating from 13 to 14 might be a one-click fix, or it might take effort fixing configs and ensuring the new software works.

Arch Linux is rolling release, it does not have version numbers, and does not hold back a major package update just "because it changes things". This means basically every update might change things, and that can require intervention. If the Arch Linux team is aware of required intervention, it will be put on the Arch News. This is often just one or two commands. The possibility of intervention being required means unattended upgrades are a no-go on Arch, but that's pretty much it.

If you don't update your system for say, a year, everything that's changed in that time will change all at once. This is often still a few commands to fix, but could be more depending on what updated exactly. Updating regularly is reccomended, because it's easier to tell what exactly changed between updates, and thus easier to track down where a problem originates from.

in reply to deadcade

Cris

in reply to deadcade • 1 giorno fa • •

For general users, updates changing things is pretty much never an issue, which is why typical end users always use the word "stable" to convey it's more colloquial meaning of "not going to break on me", rather than the technical definition sys admins use it to describe.

If arch didn't have breaking changes I don't think users would ever really mind it being rolling release, which is how you get the term "stable rolling release" for rolling distros that hold updates for long enough to generally prevent breakage, like void or tumbleweed

To the original commenter's point, as a more design and ux person I think being able to do unattended upgrades and not get any errors or stuff you have to fix is kinda important. Which is why I find it a tad irksome when technical folks act like everyone and their grandma should run arch cause it's never given them issues. It is awesome that it sounds like it's improved so much though!

Maybe I'll try arch some time and see if I've progressed enough to not find managing my system a bit more bothersome

when technical folks act like everyone and their grandma should run arch

As an Arch user, man I hate when people are like that. Arch certainly has a specific target audience. If you (the individual) are comfortable with a distro, and it works well for you, it's a good option. If Arch isn't that, then it's not a good option for you. Some people don't understand that even the "once a year single command" maintenance is too technical for most.

Having run Arch only the last few years, I don't know how much it's improved compared to say 10 years ago. I do know on most of my systems I don't spend that much time updating or maintaining my Arch installations, usually just a yay, select which AUR packages not to update (the ones I have can have issues updating sometimes), wait for 15-ish minutes (depends how much I have to compile from AUR), and that's it. From server to desktop, some weekly, others once every couple months. Although I would say it's more than average, as I have a custom repository with some nightly compiled packages, which has its own issues.

I 100% agree with this comment. Also, if that “once-a-year single command” bit was about my comment, I’d have appreciated the shout-out 😄
If not, all good — I was literally talking about copy-pasting a line from the Arch or package page. It’s nothing technical; it’s basically similar as running a pacman command.

Arch has certainly a specific target audience. That's true for every distros. The magic of GNU/Linux — you get to pick exactly how much chaos you want in your life. From super-polished plug-and-play distros to full DIY mode, there’s something for everyone. Nobody should ever be forced to use a distro. Again, it's a personal choice and the one that will make you enjoy using your system.
Arch is meant for people who have time and desire to build their system and write a bunch of config files. In that sense, yeah, it’s a technical distro, and that certainly not make its users anything special. I'm still and will forever be a Linux noob compared to a lots of people.

The reason people say that Arch is unstable is that you are expected to read the news on the website before every update or else your system is liable to be broken -- and sometimes it will break in spite of that. Oh, and the expectation is that you'll be updating multiple times per week, and if you don't, you will soon be in a situation where to install any package you must update your entire system.

Most other distros place no such expectations on the user.

in reply to turdas • 2 giorni fa • •

I’ve been using Arch for over 15 years, and honestly, I never check the news before updating. Once in a while, I’ll get an error — maybe once a year — and the fix is always just running a quick command I find on the Arch site or the package page. Takes seconds, no drama.

I’ve only managed to break my system twice, and both times were 100% my fault. Even then, recovery was easy: just chroot in and run one command.

As for updates, doing them regularly (daily, weekly, or monthly) is recommended. No need to go crazy with updates. Too frequent updates are actually discouraged. Arch is a rolling release, so your packages and dependencies get updated together — meaning things don’t randomly break. Skipping updates won’t nuke your system either, and if something ever goes sideways, you can just downgrade and be back up in no time.

To be fair, you don't need to update your system to install a package, all you need to do is run the update command just to sync up the database, then cancel out when prompted.

I would also add that it heavily depends on the setup a user is running.
I had been running Arch with XFCE and dwm for years on a machine with a Nvidia card and I can count the number of issues I had which were not induced by my wrong-doing with three fingers.
When I switched to Plasma Wayland on my new machine I faced more issues in one and a half years than with my old setup. Also, none of these issues were mentioned on the news section but were due to Plasma updates. There are just too many moving parts under heavy development with such a big DE and Wayland is also not quite 100% there yet, so for some people it can seem like Arch is rather unstable although it still is a heavy generalisation.

in reply to utnapishtim • 2 giorni fa • •

I have played with Arch in a VM - I learnt a lot about how Linux works setting it up. But the tutorials and guides are good, and you end up with a lean system with just what you want in it, and pretty much all configured directly by you.

I can see why Arch is a popular distro and base for other distros (like Manjero and currently rapidly growing CachyOS).

But I'm not at the point I'd want to main it. My issue is the concern that because everything is set up by me, it's a much more unique system so if something breaks it could be a whole myriad of my own choices that are the cause. I'm nervous about having to problem solve things when they break and solutions not working because of how my particular system is configured. It's probably a bit irrational but I do quite like being on an distro that lots of other people have the exact same configuration as me, so when things break there is lots of generic help out there.

That said I would consider arch based distros like Manjaro or CachyOS as they are in that vain of mostly standardised distro.

Installing arch is not difficult. Difficult is to keep track on innovation in the linux space. You are responsible to install and maintain everything. You have to decide if you want something like selinux, at what time it is mature enough to use it, install and use it. You have to evaluate if selinux is better than it's "competitors". You have to decide which firewall you use today and as soon as a new system pops up, you have to read up on it. You decide at what time flatpak is mature enough to use it. All this and much more is done and decided by distro maintainers. They keep up with new stuff and guide you. By using arch, you decide that you want to take care of it and that is ok, but no "normal" pc user who uses her PC once a week shall be expected to read upon all the computer maintenance stuff that is just of secondary importance to her.

I installed Cachyos in June this year after years of Mint (Cinnamon).

It was a zero problem install and everything works with my hardware. I chose KDE and it runs with Wayland perfectly. it's the best distro I've used since i started with Linux in 1995.
So my experience with Arch is excellence so far. pacman is already my favourite package manager.

Oh, preface: congratulations! I don't want to sound like I'm underplaying your achievement. Only: don't be lulled by an easy install: Arch still has more maintenance gotchas þan e.g. Debian. And welcome to þe community. Arch is a great distro, and gets better every year. When you want to up þe challenge, try Artix - it's like Arch was a few years ago.

Arch has good installers þese days. It used to be much more manual, and maybe a lot of þe perception of difficulty comes from þat.

However, Arch does need to be updated more frequently, and lots of little þings can bite you if you don't read all þe warnings up front. Þe more time between updates, þe greater a chance of dependency-related issues. You must pay attention to .pacnew changes - you won't be warned about þem, and services can easily break if you don't stay in top of þem. You must read archnews, because about once a year some major breaking change is rolled out (most recently, firmware packaging changes broke a lot of people's boots) and you need to take action. You must learn to not -Sy <pkg>, but only -Syu or -S - because þe first will often break þings. Þere's just a bunch of little þings þat, e.g., Mint users generally don't have to worry about, or encounter far less frequently.

Wiþ Arch, it's not þe install, but þe maintenance which is more work.

Þat said, it is possible to run Arch like a ~~rolling~~ point release distro, and only update once a year. I do þis on my little home self-hosting LAN servers. But I'm really comfortable wiþ Arch, and Linux, and I have rescue USB sticks; and it's not a disaster if one of þose is down for a couple of days.

Arch has a worse reputation þan it deserves - or maybe Arch users like to imagine þemselves as more leet þan þey are. You want to be leet, run LFS or Gentoo; Arch isn't really þat complex þese days.

It annoys me how much crap people still give Arch because it did honestly deter me from trying it myself when all this time it was exactly the distro for me. A lot of it is the nature of the rolling releases and pacman just feeling more clean and simple then apt and the inevitable Franken-Debian installs I end up with.

The archinstall script makes installation much easier. After that, choosing all my own apps and having to read the wiki and perform minor configurations on them could be seen as tedious when something like Mint is just more out-of-the-box, but it both helped teach me more about Linux so I have a better understanding of how my own system works when things do rarely go astray and it helps me feel like my system is very personalized and my own. Sometimes I still go, "Wait, why don't I have this very basic thing or why isn't it working?" And I find out it's because I didn't install a necessary package, but then I learn and build

As far as rolling releases, I update daily because I'm a geeky maniac and I have had better stability doing that the past 2 1/2 years than I ever did in Windows. Truly, no lie. Part of that is Microsoft setting a low bar, but also my system is a simpler build. That's not to say there have been no issues whatsoever, but I wonder at the people making these claims how much they've really used Arch.

My point generally being: don't let the opinion of some Linux snobs deter you. Try Arch, it may very well be your thing, too.

I stopped running it mostly because it is rolling release. I didn't get many problems, but sometimes you do and sometimes you have to spend an hour figuring out what the problem is and how to fix it.
I don't want to wake up in the morning with an important video call set up and be unable to participate because the pipe wire config file has been corrupted during update.

Other than that, arch is a good system. But I'd rather keep it on hardware I know I can be without for a day or two if the case comes up.

I recommend giving the manual install a whirl... it might take you a couple tries, but it will help with your overall understanding of your system--this will be useful if anything ever goes sideways. It really isn't that hard.
What you learn during install (how to read the wiki effectively, partitioning layouts, how to set up a boot loader, what filesystems are available and how they're different, what you need to install for firmware or build tools etc etc) will help demystify the system, and put the power to manage your system in your hands. Also if you ever run into an issue like your /boot or / partition being full and you want to resize your partitions, or your compositor won't launch/is freezing and you need to use a TTY--you'll be better equipped... even if that means you're just a bit better at reading/searching the wiki.

in reply to MrScottyTay

in reply to MrScottyTay • 1 giorno fa • •

Yes, if you use Arch, a DIY system where the user decides which services to activate and how to configure them. Archinstall decides for you how to partition the disks and which services need to be configured based on the options you choose. In other words, Archinstall offers the same thing as an installer like Calamares, but in a CLI script. However, once the base system is installed, you must manage the security tools, backup, etc., not the distribution developer.

in reply to psion1369 • 1 giorno fa • •

If you use the archinstall script to save time on manual installation, I think that's reasonable as long as you've adapted that script to your needs and decisions about the system. I repeat, archinstall makes its own default configurations in tools that the user must configure in the post-installation, such as security and system recovery. Archinstall does not configure selinux, snapper in grub, etc., and for this you have to partition the disk in a specific way, not as archinstall does by default.

That's essentially what I do. I'm an old user and was running arch before it had archinstall so I'm fully capable of doing a manual install, but I also don't have a particularly unusual computer setup so the script is like 95% fine for what I need. I do a few post-install tweaks but that's pretty much it.

Have you tried to install apps from the arch AUR? Im curious if they follow the system theme and if they are found by the system launcher as ordinary apps. They are running in a container so i wonder if that makes them behave differently. Flatpaks can have the same issues.

I did what seemed like the standard steps, I'm a bit of a noob, but I opened a root shell in single user mode, changed the name, chowned my old home directory, renamed it to my new user name, but this broke it. I noticed that in the two arch distros I tried, the original steamOS and the arch for pinephone image, in the gui if you try to change your username it errors out, and I see why. Changing it in a root shell completely broke the system. I'm not sure exactly why, but I'm using mobian (Debian) on the pine phone now which I like much more, and making my own fork of it that is actually really cool, and on my steamdeck and PC in running bazzite, which is fedora and very nice. I'm very happy with it. Neither of these have those issues but these are all pre built images. If you actually build arch from scratch it probably works fine. Debian is by far my favorite though. It's very simple, and sort of designed around the idea of simplicity and uniformity with the standard layout. Which I like. Sort of the windows XP of Linux. Easy to hack and understand.

The pinephone fork of mobian I'm working on, which I will release some day, just has a lot of improvements to make it a bit more complete like,

-more repos, and flatpack, plus rules to always prefer mobian repos when software exists there.

-Some better clocks for the hardware, GPU, CPU, and memory, both higher and lower with a slight undervolt, I'm going to write a script to automate testing this when I release it, so it will auto overclock for the user from a simple gui button. Also with undervolting and changing max clocks based on tempurure.

-Im going to add xfce and a udev rule to make it come up when it's plugged into a moniter, also with a toggle, to use beside phosh, so you have the best of both worlds.

-im going to add better support for low energy modes specific to the pinephone even though the battery life as I have it now is getting much better, also with posh and mobian it's much better then others distros.

-Going to create a script to auto update the modem firmware.

-Add more themes, a gui tool to configure zram and btrfs.

-adding tons of software out of the box, like waydroid, box86, wine, vscodium, and tons of little misc tools that are useful, also a better fileManager, flatpack store, some other stuff.

-if I'm able, I want to write a complex script to strip down the kernel when it's in screen off/suspend modes to save more power, a sort of software scheduler that keeps clocks low and undervolted most of the time, and downclocks the modems CPU when it doesn't need full power. Also toggles the data use intermittently to get additional power savings with apps that check the internet, by only letting them poll for a few seconds once every two minutes or so outside of screen on mode.

-probably some other stuff. I just started on it and it's not ready to be released yet.

Hamas will not commit to disarm until further negotiations, official says

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/37773278

Published date: 17 October 2025 21:23 BST

Hamas will not automatically commit to disarming and hopes the ceasefire with Israel will last three to five years to rebuild Gaza, Hamas politburo member Mohammed Nazzal said in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday.
Asked if Hamas would give up its arms, Nazzal said: "I can't answer with a yes or no. Frankly, it depends on the nature of the project. The disarmament project you're talking about, what does it mean? To whom will the weapons be handed over?”
Arab diplomats previously told Middle East Eye that mediators were in discussions with Hamas about turning its weapons over to Arab peacekeepers or locking up long-range weapons such as missiles instead of destroying them.

Instructions must've been unclear. Israel thought the plan was to not have fire in Gaza. After dropping explosives, they were shocked to see stuff still burns. Gaza was supposed to stop catching fire so Israel could bomb it more safely.

I guess the Nobel committee is kind of glad, for wont of a better word, they didn't give Trump the award for peace. All around it would've been jumping the gun a bit, as it were.

In all seriousness though, it's horrible that in the wake of careful optimism to at least stop the bloodshed and demoralizing conditions for all victims of this terrible conflict, news outlets have to report on the atrocities as if nothing has happened.

The AI Industry Is Traumatizing Desperate Contractors in the Developing World for Pennies

Unfortunately, the technology of the future demands a high price. On top of the exorbitant energy cost fueling a return to industrial-era levels of pollution, AI is also propped up by a massive global sweatshop operation, where low-wage workers in underdeveloped countries are tasked with doing the hidden intellectual labor that makes the tech useful.
As reported by Agence France-Presse, workers in long-exploited countries like Kenya, Colombia, and India are becoming increasingly outraged over the miserable labor of AI training. For example, as the wire service notes, for an AI chatbot to generate an autopsy report, contract workers have to sift through thousands of gruesome crime scene images, a gig known as “data labeling.”
Though the work is often done remotely — thus saving on the overhead costs of leasing an office — data labeling isn’t exactly a cushy laptop job. Workers involved in this industrial operation describe grueling hours, few if any workplace protections, and frequent tasks involving violent or grisly content. In theory, it’s not unlike social media content moderation, another digital practice built on exploitative labor in the developing world.
“You have to spend your whole day looking at dead bodies and crime scenes,” Ephantus Kanyugi, a Kenyan data label, told AFP. “Mental health support was not provided.”

I could swear I've seen this movie before.

Gaza genocide: On the moral collapse of Germany's elite

In a BBC interview in 1996, American intellectual Noam Chomsky was asked by presenter Andrew Marr how he could know that his interviewer was censoring himself. He replied: "I’m not saying that you are self-censoring. I am sure you believe everything you are saying. But what I am saying is that if you believed something different you wouldn’t be sitting where you are sitting."

The voluntary internalisation of hegemonic views and the firm belief in them not only turn people into journalists in liberal media but also promotes them to the elites of society.

In light of the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza, Germany is an excellent example of how this general social mechanism works and what catastrophic consequences it has. Germany’s "elites" in culture, the media, academia, politics, churches, trade unions, and social organisations would not be where they are if they did not submissively follow those in power.

Their loud and enthusiastic approval of the abominable crimes carried out by the Wilhelmine Empire and the Nazis is matched today by their collaborative silence when Germany denies and finances the genocide perpetrated by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people

Chicago’s Massive No Kings March Stretches Two Miles Through Loop

DOWNTOWN — With their city caught in the country’s largest immigration enforcement operation, as many as 250,000 Chicagoans flooded Downtown on Saturday to condemn Donald Trump’s administration as part of the second nationwide No Kings protest.

“We will never surrender!” Illinois governor JB Pritzker said. “Throughout history we have learned that tyranny doesn’t arrive with dramatic proclamations. We learned that it comes wrapped in ‘law and order’ … The reality here in Chicago is this: Black and Brown people are being targeted for the color of their skin. Children are being zip-tied and separated from their families … These people are not abstractions. They pay taxes on their businesses. They work hard — these people are the fabric of our society.”

“They want a rematch of the Civil War,” Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson said to the crowd. “But we are here to stand firm, to stand committed — that we will not bend. We will not cower. The attempt to divide and conquer this nation will not prevail, because when the people are united, justice always prevails.”

Johnson closed out his remarks by calling for a general strike.

There are color shades in UBlock that represent different types of blocks and allows.

The Israeli military said it had begun resuming enforcement of the Gaza ceasefire after it says it was “violated” by Hamas, signaling an end to strikes on the territory that it said were carried out in response to earlier attacks on its forces on Sunday, Reuters reported.
“In accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and following a series of significant strikes in response to Hamas’ violations, the IDF has begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire,” the military said in a statement.
It adds: “The IDF will continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and will respond firmly to any violation of it.”

Israel has launched air strikes in southern Gaza, accusing Hamas of attacks in a "bold violation of the ceasefire".

A military spokesman said Hamas had carried out "multiple attacks against Israeli forces beyond the yellow line" - which they say is the area Israeli troops have withdrawn to in accordance with phase one of the US-brokered deal.

Hamas said it was committed to the ceasefire and accused Israel of breaking it several times.

Robert De Niro calls Stephen Miller a 'Nazi' on MSNBC: Trump's 'Goebbels' Should Be 'Ashamed!'

The Goodfellas star made the comment in response to co-host Jonathan Capehart asking him about his claim, a moment earlier on the show, that Trump will not leave the White House in 2028. Capehart said he was on the same “wavelength” as De Niro and agreed with him, before the actor compared Miller to Joseph Goebbels, the high-ranking Nazi leader and chief propagandist for Adolf Hitler.

“No way! We see it we see it we see it all the time — he will not want to leave. He set it up with, I guess he’s the Goebbels of the cabinet, Stephen Miller. He’s a Nazi,” De Niro said. “Yes, he is, and he should be ashamed of himself!”

Spyware maker NSO Group blocked from WhatsApp

A federal judge has granted Meta-owned WhatsApp’s request for a permanent injunction blocking Israeli cyberintelligence company NSO Group from targeting the messaging app’s users. At the same time, the judge dramatically reduced the fine that NSO Group must pay to Meta.

Courts don’t know what to do about AI crimes: AI-generated images and videos are stumping prosecutors in Latin America, even as courts embrace AI to tackle case backlogs

Shortly after Colombian presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot at a political rally in June, hundreds of videos of the attack flooded social media. Some of these turned out to be deepfakes made with artificial intelligence, forcing police and prosecutors to spend hours checking and debunking them during the investigation. A teenager was eventually charged.
Increasing adoption of AI is transforming Latin America’s justice system by helping tackle case backlogs and improve access to justice for victims. But it is also exposing deep vulnerabilities through its rampant misuse, bias, and weak oversight as regulators struggle to keep up with the pace of innovation.
Law enforcement doesn’t yet “have the capacity to look at these judicial matters beyond just asking whether a piece of evidence is real or not,” Lucia Camacho, public policy coordinator of Derechos Digitales, a digital rights group, told Rest of World. This may prevent victims from accessing robust legal frameworks and judges with knowledge of the technology, she said.
Justice systems across the world are struggling to address harms from deepfakes that are increasingly used for financial scams, in elections, and to spread nonconsensual sexual imagery. There are currently over 1,300 initiatives in 80 countries and international organizations to regulate AI, but not all of these are laws and nor do they all cover deepfakes, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Latin American judges struggle to rule on crimes involving AI evidence - Rest of World

AI tools are speeding up courts across Latin America, but judges and prosecutors are struggling with crimes involving deepfakes, bias, and weak legal frameworks.

Western intelligence agencies eye neo-fascist fight clubs: ‘an international white supremacist movement’

Neo-fascist fight clubs, which are a global locus of neo-nazism, have caught the eye of western intelligence agencies that consider them a burgeoning national security threat, according to experts and government documents reviewed by the Guardian.

“Active clubs”, pseudo mixed martial arts gangs preaching a strain of far-right activism inspired by the teachings of Adolf Hitler, are well known to be moving across borders. But the revelation that official security services are keeping watch over them, the same kind of agencies known to surveil proscribed terrorist organizations like the Islamic State, shows how active clubs are an evolving and quickly growing threat.

“Intelligence agencies want to be aware of extremist networks that exist in their countries,” said Joshua Fisher-Birch, a terrorism analyst at the Counter Extremism Project, about active clubs, “their potential for current or future violence, and what links they may have to other movements and individuals, both domestically and internationally.”

Honestly baffled why anyone still gives a shit about jewels. Literal useless rocks extracted by slave labour from France's colonies with no industrial or personal uses, and formerly owned by a disgusting aristocrat as a way to show off his disgusting wealth.

Most jewels are just aluminum oxide crystals with colored inorganic impurities. Who cares if they're stolen, just make more. The camera lens on your phone and the tube in an old school sodium vapour street light are jewels, and far purer ones than what you can dig out of the ground.
