IDF releases full video of Hamas staging fake hostage remains recovery
The IDF publishes the full, 15-minute uncut drone video showing Hamas terror operatives staging the recovery of the remains of a hostage it returned to Israel last night, in front of the Red Cross.
The remains were identified as belonging to Ofir Tzarfati, whose body was recovered by the IDF in the Gaza Strip in December 2023, less than two months after his abduction during the Hamas onslaught.
“Contrary to Hamas’s claims of difficulties locating the bodies of the deceased hostages, yesterday Hamas operatives were documented removing body remains from a structure that had been prepared in advance and burying them nearby,” the IDF says.
“Shortly thereafter, the Hamas terror organization summoned representatives of the Red Cross and staged a false display of discovering a deceased hostage’s body,” it says.
How to set up a decentralized game/chat server
I've been kicking around the idea of running a server for games and chat woth some of my friends, but worry about everyone getting cut off when there's a disruption.
I've started looking into kubernetes out of curiosity, and it seems like we could potentially set up a cluster with master nodes at 3+ locations to hose whatever game server or chat server that we want with 100% uptime, solving my concerns.
Am I misunderstanding the kubernetes documentation, and this is just a terrible idea? Or am I on the right track?
Try it out. You can try element and jitsi its free. Just test some matrix server with element web client and try out jitsi at their site.
For the self hosted instance yes I think you need a domain and subdomains.
Hamas, diminished but not destroyed, reasserts itself in Gaza
Hamas has violently sought to reassert its authority over the Gaza Strip in the wake of the Israel military’s partial withdrawal, but questions remain over the group’s future and efforts to rebuild.
Since the ceasefire came into effect a week ago, the militant group has deployed armed police officers on streets from where Israeli forces have withdrawn, clashed with rival clans, directly fired upon and killed Israeli troops in multiple incidents, and staged at least one public execution of suspected collaborators.
As Hamas continues to demonstrate its presence, Israeli security officials and experts on Gaza agree it has been badly diminished but not thoroughly destroyed, and will count with new recruits propelled to join after tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians were killed by Israeli fire.

Anti-foreigner sentiments are on the rise as Japan faces a population crisis
Outside a train station near Tokyo, hundreds of people cheer as Sohei Kamiya, head of the surging nationalist party Sanseito, criticizes Japan’s rapidly growing foreign population.As opponents, separated by uniformed police and bodyguards, accuse him of racism, Kamiya shouts back, saying he is only talking common sense.
Sanseito, while still a minor party, made big gains in July’s parliamentary election, and Kamiya's “Japanese First” platform of anti-globalism, anti-immigration and anti-liberalism is gaining broader traction ahead of a ruling party vote Saturday that will choose the likely next prime minister.
How to keep track of system temps and hardware health indicators via dashboard with a proxmox installation?
Recently I added a new HDD to my proxmox system, and I started to realize the HDD was running warm. Was thinking for a second, and having a dashboard with temps and general hardware health would be useful for the server, but I do not find a solution from within proxmox to do this.
Does anyone here added this kind of dashboarding in a proxmox installation? And if so, how or what did you use?
I did know about zabbix before, and I actually did try to install it before using the proxmox helper scripts page. Somehow, by the end I got a blank page. Hence I made this post to see more alternatives.
I do know zabbix is super recognized in this area. I just did not install it successfuly on my previous attempt
Tbh, I have given up on Proxmox Helper Scripts for more demanding things recently as I had similar issues.
You can use the fully packed VM appliance or iso as well. Or Docker.
Or,tbh,try the manual install,it's somewhat straight forward. If you need help let me know.
Abigail Spanberger elected Virginia governor in a historic first that boosts Democrats ahead of 2026
Democrat Abigail Spanberger won the Virginia governor’s race Tuesday, defeating Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears to give Democrats a key victory heading into the 2026 midterm elections and make history as the first woman ever to lead the commonwealth.
Spanberger’s victory will flip partisan control of the governor’s office when she succeeds outgoing Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Also Tuesday, Democrat Ghazala F. Hashmi won the lieutenant governor’s race and will succeed Earle-Sears. Hashmi is the first Muslim woman to win a statewide office in the U.S.
Spanberger, a former congresswoman and CIA case officer, won with a campaign emphasizing economic issues, a strategy that may serve as a model for other Democrats in next year’s elections as they try to break Donald Trump’s and Republicans’ hold on power in Washington and gain ground in statehouses.

France demonstrates ostentatious modernization
France formally puts into service a new version of the M51.3 sea-based ballistic missile. The official press release of the development company ArianeGroup reports the completion of ten years of work and the successful passage of tests.
However, behind this official picture lies a less confident reality. The long ten-year cycle of creating a missile, comparable to the service life of an entire generation of equipment, raises questions about the pace of modernization. Statements about "improving reliability" rather indicate the elimination of shortcomings of previous models than breakthrough capabilities.
The mention that the equipping of submarines will begin only “as new missiles become available” indicates a delayed and protracted process. This gives the impression that the project is still more on paper and in the form of individual units than in the form of a fully deployed combat force.

Therefore, the announced adoption appears more as a demonstration of intent to maintain the image of a nuclear power than as a significant improvement in France's strategic capabilities.

Attention developers: stop making apps. If you want profit, make a subscription to an account with a web app. Want to keep people happy? Subscription only charges them once. Bonus, the web app you write once works on everything, including those niche Linux phones.
Government moves to censor websites? Darknets aren’t just for criminals and conspiracy theorists anymore. Whitelist sites? We move to mesh networks like reticulum.
We nerds can move faster than a government can, especially this one.
Best thing about this is that moves like this totally destroy the profit-centric internet of today, flinging us back to a simpler, weirder, better classical internet we grew up with.
crypto bullshit
Boom! Thats what I was going for. Lemmy seems so anti-crypto when it has real use cases like this. Even here stumbling into where it’s useful you call it bullshit, why?
But those requirements are at odds with wider adoption. Most people are stupid.
Remember George Carlin’s words: Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

NYC early voting ends with record turnout, shattering 2021 stats (polls close at 9pm eastern)
Early voting has ended in New York City, and the initial numbers show the highest early voting turnout for a non-presidential election in the city.
The New York City Board of Elections reported 735,317 early voting check-ins over the past nine days. That's more than four times the total from the 2021 mayoral race, which reported only 169,879 early voting check-ins for the general election.
New Yorkers have been showing up and showing they care about who leads the city.

Judge says DOJ failed to give full transcripts of Halligan’s Comey grand jury proceedings
A federal judge considering the legality of Lindsey Halligan’s appointment gave the government until Wednesday at 5 p.m. to comply with her order.
The federal judge considering whether Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully installed by the Trump administration had ordered the Department of Justice to provide the “complete grand jury transcripts” in James Comey’s case for the judge to review. The DOJ failed to do so, and now it has a deadline of 5 p.m. Wednesday to comply.
Lawyers temporarily installed by the Trump administration to lead U.S. attorney's offices across the country have had their tenures deemed unlawful by federal judges. Currie may well deem Halligan's appointment unlawful, too, but she has yet to rule. The judge had also ordered the government to provide her with grand jury information for James' proceedings, but as of the time she issued the order for more information in Comey's case, she hadn't issued a similar order in James' case.

Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you?
like this
I'd recommend ZFS for most home server/NAS scenarios. Gives you everything you need, and nothing you don't.
Stuff like Ceph is just as hungry as it is powerful. The performance sweet spot for Ceph barely begins at 5 dedicated nodes (with at least a dozen drives each, ideally). I could never recommend it for home use unless you want to run it in a lab for the sake of learning.
Source: I've designed/built/deployed several 1PB+ Ceph clusters over the last ~5yrs.
Hot take: For personal use, I see no value at all in "availability," only data preservation. If a drive fails catastrophically and I lose a day waiting for a restore from backups, no one is going to fire me. No one is going to be held up in their job. It's not enterprise.
However, redundancy doesn't save you when a file is deleted, corrupted, ransom-wared or whatever. Your raid mirror will just copy the problem instantly. Snapshots and 3,2,1 backups are what are important to me because when personal data is lost, it's lost forever.
I really do think a lot of hobbyists need to focus less on highly available redundancy and more on real backups. Both time and money are better spent on that.
Grafana can also work as a simple website analytics dashboard
Recipe for my specific case: add fetch() on the page you want to track, supply window.location.pathname and document.referrer to track source, send it to some middleware appending data to SQLite (or any other) DB, add a data source in Grafana, filter out bots by their User-Agent headers, adjust as needed.

It sounds like smart tests are still there, they just use a different scheduling model.
EDIT: looks like you are right, the scheduling and results interfaces are being removed. The migration is for existing tests only. It will still generate alerts for failed smart tests

Messages in a bottle from WWI soldiers found on Australian coast
Messages in a bottle written by two Australian soldiers in 1916 have been found more than a century later on the country's south-western coast.
The cheerful notes were penned just a few days into their voyage to join the battlefields of France during World War One.
One of the soldiers, Pte Malcolm Neville, told his mother that the food on board was "real good" and that they were "as happy as Larry". Months later, he was killed in action at the age of 28. The other soldier, 37-year-old Pte William Harley, survived the war and returned home.
The bottle was found earlier this month on the remote Wharton Beach, near Esperance in Western Australia, by local resident Deb Brown and her family.

…especially for Marian Davies - Pte Neville's niece - who remembers her uncle leaving to go to war and never returning.
How old is she?? They said the notes were written in 1916. If she was old enough to remember her uncle leaving, let’s say 4 at the time, she’d have to be 113 today. Of course that’s possible but wow, what are the chances of finding a living supercentenarian relative with a memory of the author of a 109-year-old letter in a bottle?

I think the BBC has made the wrong assumption when cribbing from ABC or another news source.
Ms Brown has tracked down the great-nephew of one of the soldiers, Private Malcolm Alexander Neville, who came from Wilkawatt in South Australia.He said his aunt, who was now 101, always told stories over the years of "Uncle Malcolm" and how he never returned home from the war.
I guess she, born in 1924, had heard a lot of stories from her parents or other families about him.

Is Twingate good for remote access to a selfhosted Nextcloud server?
I run a Nextcloud instance on my home server and want secure remote access without exposing ports. I came across Twingate, which looks like a VPN alternative.
Has anyone used it for personal setups? Is it overkill compared to something simpler like Tailscale? I’d like to know how you use it, or what else you use.
Honestly not having a static public ip address would be a dealbreaker for me, reason to change isp.
But thats not always an option.
My old isp got a new ip every full modem reboot and a way i used to circumvent this is with duckdns. It’s a free dns service i used before i had money to pay for my own domain.
If i recall correctly they have a desktop tool that connects to your account that scans for your current dynamic public ip and then updates it for your freesubdomainname.duckdns.org which is what you use to connect.

Readdeck vs Wallabag?
These are both essentially selfhosted replacements for Pocket.
Anyone try them and have experiences to share? The feature set seems similar.
EDIT: From the comments I'm seeing so far it seems that as of now they are indeed very similar!

I host Wallabag, besides the features already mentioned here, two others I use frequently and are crucial to my workflows are the following integrations:
- Koreader integration, so I can access my articles on any ereader
- Logseq integration, so that all read articles and highlights/annotations are synced with my knowledge base

I don't dabble with it so I can't say if there's a way that could be turned on by mistake on grok's settings elsewhere and it carries over to the car or similar.

Instead they are already being treated as some magic, not a tool inseparable from the owner, or as a living thing. It's idiotic.
