Best way to use Onedrive?
Before anyone says it, yes, I know it's shit, and that Microsoft are awful, but my wife needs Office, so I get a couple of accounts with 1TB of storage for free, so I may as well use it.
I've got my PC, my laptop, and a Synology DS216 (I think) NAS that I want to keep synced and backed up. I was using Onedrive on the PC to sync to their online storage, and using Syncthing to keep the laptop and Synology updated, but they just mirrored the PC. The PC was the only one that could write to the folder.
I want to keep the PC and laptop synced in both directions, and use the Synology and Onedrive as extra copies. I know it's not a proper backup, but it's better than nothing for the moment.
Would I be better off installing Onedrive, or Abraunegg's version, on the three systems and letting it sync, or putting Onedrive on the Synology and using Syncthing to keep the folders synced?
I'll have Onedrive on the Synology either way, and I'll be using Syncthing on all three to keep my music synced with my media server, so I'm mostly wondering whether people think it's better to let just the Synology sync to Onedrive, or to have a client on each device.
The three devices are pretty much always used in the same house, but very occasionally the laptop is taken out, almost always to somewhere with an internet connection.
Thanks 😀

Scheduled maintenance for server upgrades next weekend
Likely Saturday, 1st of November.
We need to do some server OS upgrades and a some other things that will cause a few hours downtime.
Maybe I will already start with some smaller things this week, that should only cause a short down-time for reboots.
Once that is done, I will look into running a Piefed test instance to investigate how to do the database migration from Lemmy. If everything goes smoothly, we might be able to do the Lemmy to Piefed migration end of this year or early next year.

Trump's redistricting push hits roadblocks in Indiana and Kansas as Republican lawmakers resist
For most of Donald Trump’s second term, Republicans have bent to his will. But in two Midwestern states, Trump’s plan to maintain control of the U.S. House in next year’s election by having Republicans redraw congressional districts has hit a roadblock.
Despite weeks of campaigning by the White House, Republicans in Indiana and Kansas say their party doesn’t have enough votes to pass new, more GOP-friendly maps. It’s made the two states outliers in the rush to redistrict — places where Republican-majority legislatures are unwilling or unable to heed Trump’s call and help preserve the party’s control on Capitol Hill.
Lawmakers in the two states still may be persuaded, and the White House push, which has included an Oval Office meeting for Indiana lawmakers and two trips to Indianapolis by JD Vance, is expected to continue. But for now, it’s a rare setback for the president and his efforts to maintain a compliant GOP-held Congress after the 2026 midterms.

US and China reach ‘final deal’ on TikTok sale, treasury secretary says
Nothing to see here but conjecture. Interestingly, though, that the failed real-estate developer and former reality-TV host is ready to turn his oops baby into a nepo-baby.
Trump’s 19-year-old son, Barron Trump, has been floated by the president’s former social media producer Jack Advent as a potential board member. Trump has indicated new US investors include conservative media owners Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison.
This is so much better than the Chinese having U.S. data! Palantir must be thrilled they can back off on at least some development.

‘Suspicious’ fire at Portland City Councilor’s home being investigated as possible arson
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - Authorities are investigating after a fire broke out in a carport at the home of Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos early Sunday morning.Fire officials were called to the scene of the fire on Southeast Caruthers Street, near Southeast 122nd Avenue, around 2:40 a.m. Sunday.
Upon arrival, they found several cars and a carport on fire, and were able to extinguish the blaze.
Investigators estimated the total damage at $125-150,000, with damage to the exterior siding of the home and “complete destruction” of the carport and two cars.
740 Palestinians in Gaza Have Died Waiting for Medical Evacuation, WHO Says

cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/3950
There are still 15,600 Palestinians, many with conditions like cancer, awaiting a medical evacuation, officials say.At least 740 Palestinians in Gaza died over a period of 13 months while awaiting medical evacuation that never came, the UN has reported, as Israel denied tens of thousands of Palestinians of this crucial lifeline.
This death toll includes at least 137 children who were on the evacuation list and died between July 2024 and August 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported this week.
“These patients cannot wait for the healthcare system to be rebuilt. They need urgent care today,” wrote Médecins sans Frontières International President Javid Abdelmoneim in an open letter this week.
“These were preventable deaths — not only because of the destruction of hospitals, but due to political inaction,” Abdelmoneim wrote.
Israel has nearly totally destroyed Gaza’s medical system, and there are no treatment options for chronic conditions like cancer or kidney failure, or for those who are in need of complex treatments for injuries inflicted by Israel’s genocidal bombing and starvation campaign.
The UN and other aid organizations have called for Israel to open all crossings into Gaza in order to allow a surge of aid and medical evacuations. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the BBC that no evacuation flights have taken off for the past two weeks due to Israeli holidays.
Israel has refused to open crossings into Gaza and allow for full humanitarian access, violating the ceasefire deal signed on October 9. Palestinian officials reported that, as of Monday, the 10th day of the ceasefire, only 986 aid trucks had entered the besieged territory, despite the deal stipulating that 6,600 trucks should have entered at that point.
“The situation still remains catastrophic because what’s entering is not enough,” said Tedros. “There is no dent in hunger because there is not enough food.”
Meanwhile, UN Population Fund Executive Director Andrew Saberton said this week that there is no longer such a thing as a “normal birth in Gaza now” and that pregnant Palestinians are being forced to give birth in the street.
“They often don’t even have access to a private space in a tent. We have stories of women giving birth actually in the rubble, beside the road,” Saberton said.

Duffy: Air traffic controllers ‘are wearing thin’ as government shutdown hits Day 26
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Sunday that air traffic controllers “are wearing thin” amid the ongoing government shutdown.
“The controllers are wearing thin,” Duffy told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “And again, they’re taking second jobs, they’re out there looking, ‘Can I drive Uber, can I find another source of income to make ends meet?’”
Duffy also noted that 22 air traffic controller staffing triggers occurred at airports across the country on Saturday, the highest number to date during the shutdown. Air traffic controllers are working without pay during the funding lapse.

Built an AI tool that reviews freelance contracts for hidden risks
Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a small AI project called Contract Safe — it helps freelancers and small teams review their contracts for risky clauses like vague payment terms, unclear IP ownership, or hidden penalties.
It’s not legal advice — just a simple, plain-language summary powered by AI.
Right now I’m testing if people would actually find this useful.

I’ve been thinking a little bit about a Video Doorbell for a little while. I don’t really need one as my house isn’t really that large and because of how people need to access the front door it’s not like I get a lot of random callers.But there have been some key points about one that would need to be considered.

Protesters march through ‘Tel Aviv’ in support of 18-year-old refuser
Mattan here. I am a refuser and spent several months in an Israeli prison at the age of 20 for refusing to serve the Israeli occupation. On Thursday night in Tel Aviv, dozens gathered to stand with Daniel Schultz, an 18-year-old who will refuse mandatory military service this Sunday. Together, they filled the street with drumming and chants that carried far beyond the square: "Daniel is refusing and we love her!" and "On the home front and in the field, every soldier is a partner to murder."Daniel's decision is not abstract. She came of age during the war on Gaza, studying alongside Palestinian classmates whose families were being killed. She saw how their grief, fear, and displacement were treated as background noise to "national unity." Refusing, for her, was the only way to remain human. We support Daniel’s courage and principled stance at such a young age, and are asking all of our supporters to send Daniel a letter of support.
Each new generation of refusers expands the space of the possible. When Daniel stands before the military induction center and says no, she will be speaking not only for herself, but for thousands who cannot yet imagine that "no" as an option. She will face isolation, threats, and imprisonment because she has chosen to make visible what the state demands we forget: that participation in genocide is not inevitable.
Refusal has always been the beating heart of this movement. It is the moment when conscience interrupts the machine, when obedience gives way to solidarity. The courage of Daniel and others like her reminds us that even in a time of deep fear, resistance grows.
We stand with Daniel, with her generation, and with all who choose conscience over complicity. Please join us in sending her a letter of support and letting Daniel know that we all oppose the present state of affairs.
In solidarity,
Mattan Helman

Hurricane Melissa’s Wind Speeds Doubled in Less Than a Day | Melissa grew from a tropical storm to a Category 4 hurricane in a matter of hours.
In 2023, a study in the journal Scientific Reports found that Atlantic hurricanes were becoming more likely to intensify rapidly. High ocean temperatures can help fuel the kind of explosive growth that leads to rapid intensification of storms, and oceans around the world have been warming because, in part, of human-driven climate change.

“Israel is a terrorist state”: Far-left Irish lawmaker elected president in landslide win
Independent lawmaker Catherine Connolly has been elected the 10th President of Ireland in an overwhelming landslide, securing over 63 percent of the first-preference vote.
While the presidency is a largely ceremonial role, Connolly’s victory is immediately set to intensify diplomatic strain between Ireland and ‘Israel’ due to her history of strident anti-‘Israel’ rhetoric, which became a focal point of her far-left campaign.

Statistics major: help choosing exams
I'm studying Statistics and economics and I can choose three exams from three main areas:
- Financial markets:
- Economics of Monetary and Financial Markets
- Financial Mathematics
- Corporate Finance
- Business Information Systems
- Information Systems Organization
- Data Mining
- Computational Statistics
- Market Research
- Market Analysis
- Business Statistics
- Industrial Economics
I think I can choose one area but also mix them, but 3 exams.
Other exams are mostly stats/math and economics, and a bit of computer science.
Now, I don't think this choice will affect future job opportunities that much, meaning that this won't probably lead me to one path exclusively...
But I'd like to make the best choice possible, to develop useful skills and increase my future opportunities.
Any advice or insight?
Israel pushes further into Syria
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6548571
Israel has expanded its illegal occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights, seizing parts of the UN-monitored buffer zone in breach of a 1974 agreement with Damascus. Since December 2024, it has pushed deeper into Syrian territory, forcing families from their homes, demolishing property and unlawfully transferring detainees to Israel in acts considered war
- Israel built 10 military posts inside Syria between December 2024 and July
- In the past three months, that number has surged to 19
- One post lies just 40km from Damascus
