I use Forgejo with LFS for my Blender projects, so this would probably be useful to me if a similar feature were added there.
As an aside, it seems Blender uses Gitea and not sure they have plans to migrate to Forgejo anytime soon since it looks like they’ve poured a lot of resources into Gitea and even formed a partnership with the maintainers:

What are 'put options'?
jerry reshared this.
You're buying the ability to sell a stock at a given price at some date in the future. If the price drops, you make money; if the price doesn't drop, you lose everything.
Basically the two use cases are: (1) To hedge against big market collapses in the value of stock you own, like buying insurance (2) to lose all your money on Robinhood by retail investing ("betting" that the stock will go down in an unregulated and rigged casino). I would somewhat bet that this is scenario number 1, but who knows.

What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends?
I have a Samba mount at home (behind NAT, accessible via wireguard VPN), which works very well when accessing my home files when traveling (I travel a lot for work).
The only detail missing from this solution is sharing individual files with friends. I could give them access to my VPN, but that gives them access to everything, not just one thing I want to share. Also not all my friends are that tech savvy to manage connecting to a VPN.
What would be really great is to have a link-generator that punches a hole in the NAT to give them access to specific files. Are there any self-hosted solutions for that?

Trump embarrassed on world stage as Chinese leader delivers fact-check to his face
In a post from July, Trump proclaimed: "I am pleased to announce that, after the involvement of President Donald J. Trump, both Countries have reached a CEASEFIRE and PEACE. Congratulations to all! By ending this War, we have saved thousands of lives."
However, the reality was starkly different. Two weeks after Trump's initial celebration, artillery exchanges resulted in a significant death toll, with widespread injuries and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Lebanese president orders army to confront Israeli incursions after deadly raid
Lebanese state media identified the slain man as Ibrahim Salameh, an employee of the Blida municipality, a village near the border with Israel. The Israeli military confirmed the raid and said it was attacking Hezbollah infrastructure when it fired at a “suspect”. It said the incident was under review.
The killing led to widespread anger in Lebanon over repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty. In the hours after the raid, Israel carried out airstrikes in Labouneh, in south-west Lebanon, and Israeli drones could be heard flying low over Beirut.
The Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun, condemned the raid and ordered the Lebanese army to confront Israeli soldiers in any future incursions on Lebanese territory. In a statement, Aoun instructed the army to “confront any Israeli incursion into liberated southern territory, in defence of Lebanese territory and the safety of citizens”.

She fell on the trail headed back. Sending an 80 year old, who felt ill, back unescorted was a failure in duty and comprehension.
In fact, take the age out of it, sending anyone who feels ill back unescorted is a failure in duty and comprehension.

Mamdani wins New York City mayor’s race
Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.
Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.

China Home Sales Slump to Deepen As New Risks to Beijing’s Growth Strategy Emerge, Experts Say
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44894840
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44894752
ArchivedChina’s multi-year property crisis is set to drag on in 2026 and further weigh on banks’ asset quality, even after the government stepped up its stimulus push to boost demand, according to Fitch Ratings.
The country’s new home sales by area may decline 15 to 20 per cent from their current level before the sector stabilises, Lulu Shi, a director at Fitch, said at a briefing in Shanghai on Wednesday (Oct 29).
Transactions by value may drop another 7 to 10 per cent next year, she added.“China’s trickling stimulus measures did not pull the residential sector from a further slowdown,” Shi said. “A meaningful property recovery will only come after the job market stabilises and household income rebounds, which would require a basket of policies and a long period of time.”
[...]
The dim outlook for the domestic home market also means banks’ bad debt in the property segment will likely remain “elevated” next year, Vivian Xue, director for financial institutions at Fitch, said at the same briefing. That, coupled with households’ weakened ability to repay mortgages and other personal loans, means that banks’ asset quality could deteriorate next year, she added.

Fixed income-specialist Pimco has identified new risks to China’s growth strategy.
In response to China’s aggressive price discounting, many Emerging Markets economies have erected higher tariff and trade barriers on Chinese goods imports, it writes in a report.
Europe has initiated investigations into Chinese product dumping and may increase the use of quotas. The U.S. has raised tariffs on all trading partners, but especially on Chinese goods, which has limited the ability of Chinese producers to access the U.S. market at lower tariff rates through “connector” countries for final stages of production. Although markets have shown signs of optimism for U.S.–China trade negotiations ahead of the countries’ presidents meeting this week, the relationship between these two major economies will likely remain volatile.
[...]
Looking ahead, inventories can’t keep piling up forever if China wants to counter deflationary trends and maintain a stable economy. China’s policymakers have recently emphasized an “anti-involution” campaign: a nuanced approach to counter the intense competition that shrunk profit margins and to emphasize higher-quality growth and greater profitability, with a goal of reducing deflationary pressures.
However, unless Chinese policymakers are willing to more forcefully stimulate domestic demand, or tolerate slower production growth, Chinese products would need to continue to be exported at further price discounts to clear the inventory levels, Pimco says.

Poland Says Intercepted Russian Spy Plane Over Baltic Sea
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44896261
ArchivedPoland’s armed forces said Wednesday that two of its fighter jets had intercepted and escorted a Russian reconnaissance aircraft flying over the Baltic Sea one day prior.
The Polish operational command said the Russian Il-20 surveillance aircraft was flying in international airspace without filing a flight plan and with its transponder turned off, making it invisible to civilian radar.
“The aircraft did not violate Polish airspace,” the command said in a statement on social media.
It added that two Polish MiG-29 fighter jets visually identified and escorted the Russian aircraft out of the area.
Operational command spokesman Jacek Goryszewski told Polish media, “Our pilots could have taken further actions if the Russian pilots took steps that we wouldn’t want, like violating our airspace or performing other dangerous maneuvers.”
[...]
The interception comes amid rising alert levels across NATO’s eastern flank, where several member states have reported increased Russian air activity near their borders.
In September, three Russian military jets violated Estonia’s airspace for about 12 minutes and Poland reported more than 20 Russian drones crossing into its territory. The Kremlin denied the border incursions.
Poland is a staunch ally of Ukraine and has been a key transit point for Western arms heading to the embattled country since Russia invaded it in 2022.

I use gluetun to connect specific docker containers to a VPN without interfering with other networking, since it's all self contained. It also has lots of providers built in which is convenient so you can just set the provider, your password, and your preferred region instead of needing to manually enter connection details manage lists of servers (it automatically updates it's own cached server list from your provider, through the VPN connection itself)
Another nice feature is that it supports scripts for port forwarding, which works out of the box for some providers. So it can automatically get the forwarded port and then execute a custom script to set that port in your torrent client, soulseek, or whatever.
I could just use a wireguard or openvpn container, but this also makes it easy to hop between vpn providers just by swapping the connection details regardless of whether the providers only support wg or openvpn. Just makes it a little more universal.

Malaysia says it does not recognise China's South China Sea claims | New Straits Times
The South China Sea has long been a source of tension, with several nations laying overlapping claims to its islands, reefs and surrounding waters. The sea is one of the world's busiest trade routes and is believed to hold vast reserves of oil, gas and other natural resources.China claims almost the entire waterway under its "nine-dash line", asserting historical rights that extend deep into areas also claimed by Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei and Taiwan.
In 2016, an international tribunal in The Hague ruled that China's claims had no legal basis under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, a decision Beijing rejected.

D.F.L.P.: ‘The U.S. plan may stop the war in Gaza […] but it will not create peace.’
The U.S. plan announced by President Trump, under the pretext of halting the aggression and creating conditions for a comprehensive settlement, was in reality a response to mounting global pressure — not a result of genuine conviction on the part of Israel and its partner, the United States, to end the humanitarian catastrophe.Although the plan appears outwardly as an initiative to cease fire, its actual content reproduces the same Israeli standards that reduce the Palestinian cause to a mere “security issue” and ignore the root causes of the conflict — occupation, settlement expansion, displacement and the denial of the Palestinian people’s national rights.
[…]
The U.S. plan seeks to end the war in Gaza according to Israeli terms — but it does not aim to create lasting or genuine peace in the region.
The nations of the world, especially those supporting Israel, must avoid repeating past mistakes by ignoring the real cause of the conflict: the Israeli occupation.
Stability in the region can only be achieved through principles that have become clear to all nations, organizations and international bodies — foremost among them:
– Clear and explicit recognition of the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people, as stipulated in international resolutions.
– Restoration of the territorial unity of the State of Palestine between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and rejection of any separation between them.
– The departure of the occupation and its settlers and the dismantling of all settlements.
– The establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, on a unified and contiguous territory free of barriers or obstacles.
‘The U.S. plan may stop the war in Gaza … but it will not create peace.’

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.
