How a French judge was digitally cut off by the USA
The extent of dependence on the USA in the digital sector is currently being experienced by a French judge. Nicolas Guillou, one of six judges and three prosecutors of the International Criminal Court (ICC), was sanctioned by the USA in August. He described his current situation as a digital time travel back to the 1990s, before the internet age, in a recent interview.The reason for the US sanctions are the arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. They were indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the context of the destruction of the Gaza Strip. The USA condemned this decision by the court, whereupon the US Treasury Department sanctioned six judges and three prosecutors.
Digitally excluded from almost everything
In Guillou's daily life, this means that he is excluded from digital life and much of what is considered standard today, he told the French newspaper Le Monde. All his accounts with US companies such as Amazon, Airbnb, or PayPal were immediately closed by the providers. Online bookings, such as through Expedia, are immediately canceled, even if they concern hotels in France. Participation in e-commerce is also practically no longer possible for him, as US companies always play a role in one way or another, and they are strictly forbidden to enter into any trade relationship with sanctioned individuals.

Russia ‘prepared to take enormous strategic risks’ to test NATO, top Swedish general warns
Russia is likely to test NATO’s collective defense pledge very soon, Sweden’s top military official said, as Moscow escalates its campaign of hybrid attacks against Europe.
“I'm sure and I'm convinced that they would be ready to test Article 5 of NATO at any point in the Baltic states or in some other part of Europe as well,” Swedish Chief of Defense Gen. Michael Claesson told POLITICO, referring to the alliance's common defense provision.
“They are prepared to take enormous strategic risks to gain whatever they see possible to gain,” he added, pointing to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s past military campaigns. “We have seen it since Chechnya, we have seen it in Georgia, we have seen it in Crimea.”

Trump’s Black Friday Deals Cost More Than His Website
Trump has been under mounting criticism for failing to bring down inflation, with Americans continuing to report high prices on groceries and essentials. Even as Trump insists he has lowered costs, his campaign’s Black Friday fundraising emails undercut that message by promoting so-called “deal” prices that were actually higher than the prices listed on his own merchandise website.In one email, the Trump team claimed the price of a red MAGA hat ornament had been “reduced” to $37, though the official campaign store simultaneously listed it for $30. The email claimed the MAGA trinket new price was a "30% off deal."

Congress, CEOs follow Trump in welcome to Saudi butcher
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with top congressional leaders of both parties Wednesday morning, before an hours-long session with corporate CEOs and billionaires at the Kennedy Center in the afternoon.
The events confirm that President Trump spoke for the entire US ruling class, Democrats and Republicans alike, when he welcomed the bloodstained monarch to the White House and denounced any mention of bin Salman’s role in the gruesome murder of Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
...
There is nothing surprising about the welcoming of the Saudi despot and mass murderer to the US Capitol. The House and Senate have given standing ovations to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on at least two occasions during the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed a joint session of Congress twice—even as he pursued policies of entrenching his authoritarian Hindu-supremacist regime and threatening nuclear war against neighboring Pakistan. British Prime Minister Tony Blair addressed Congress at the height of the US-British war of conquest in Iraq, in July 2003.
More importantly, American presidents themselves address Congress on a regular basis, and the war crimes committed by these presidents in this century alone (wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, drone missile assassinations from the Middle East to the Caribbean), dwarf those committed by any visiting monarchs, dictators or prime ministers.
After his brief session schmoozing with the congressional leadership, bin Salman travelled across town to the Kennedy Center to resume the real business of his trip: wooing and being wooed by corporate CEOs and billionaires, with Trump presiding over the scene like the head pimp at a house of ill repute.

navidrome sso with traefik/authentik
Has anyone gotten navidrome mobile apps to work with traefik and authentik sso? I used this article to get the webapp sso to work, but mobile apps won't work even with the /rest path supposedly being bypassed. the traefik config was copied/modified for my setup, so I think the article is still missing something.
I've tried a couple navidrome apps: dsub, tempo, tempus.
like this
- domain: music.server.home
policy: bypass
resources:
- '^/rest.*'
- '^/api.*'
- domain: music.server.home
policy: one_factor
In the end, when I was setting it up, I realized that the only apps I use to connect and listen are using the rest API and I never got that one to work when I was setting it up. I had to bypass rest API endpoints like other poster here and create internal users in navidrome to keep some kind of security.
I would love someone posting up to date guide how to do it properly.
In the end problem was with the Subsonic Api and and the fact that I did not know how to implement subsonic authentication scheme on my proxy (caddy).

It is also pretty expensive to import appropriate gear, and it shows.
Between a sort of disregard for electrical safety, hordes of animals chewing on wires, and the difficulty of importing modern electrical equipment, it is an electrical nightmare.
It doesn't help that a lot of electrical generation is modern, there is a lot of electricity available, but the actual application of it in last mile is atrocious.
All this to say it is of no surprise an electrical fire occurred, if that is the cause.

Inside Amazon: Who pays the price?
Amazon attracts customers with low prices - but according to a former manager at the company, the reason for this is not what consumers might think. She claims that the company's aim is not to give customers fair deals but to put retailers and manufacturers under enormous pressure. This investigative documentary reveals the questionable methods used by the company: suppliers are prevented from selling their products below the Amazon-listed price - whether that be online or in a physical store. Insiders say that this practice not only distorts competition, but also has direct consequences for customers in the form of price rises.

The Birdy app requires a work email, which then gets you on a wait list, so that you can subject yourself to their data mining:
Data Categories:
- The email address you use as username on BirdyChat network;
- Your messages and media within messages;
- User identifiers for blocked WhatsApp users;
- Usage information including timestamps related to your communication with WhatsApp users;
- Device and connection information such as IP address, operating system information and the BirdyChat version you are using;
- General location information using your IP address;
- Authentication information including encryption keys that WhatsApp encryption protocol uses;
- WhatsApp user reports in case a WhatsApp user chooses to share this information with WhatsApp.

I have a 5W laser I was going to try, but someone made a good point that random reflections / refractions could harm a nearby innocent person.
I debated a paintball gun, but that damage isn't really permanent enough.
The issue is you might take out a few, but you'll still get followed by the other "active" ones.
My state has flocks on every major interstate from one side to the other. I just talked to a cop recently that managed to track a suspect down from NEOH to somewhere in KY where the state police were waiting for him when he crossed state lines.
Unless we completely get rid of all flock cameras, we're screwed.
Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"

Which demos? Those are long dead on Steam. Demos are now basically paid early access releases...
It's one of the quality indicators. Just like the game engine. E.g. I know Bethesda games will have shit performance and be bug ridden because they use Creation Engine.
They don't list whether the game was written in c++ or c# because it makes no difference.
Sure they do. That's what game engine disclosure does.
(Probably not true of AAA)
I guess the situation is a bit better since their 2024 overhaul, but it's mostly limited to indie devs not like before demos were used by every single studio and publisher as a marketing tool to allow people actually playtest the game not only to see if the game is interesting but also it's performance on your machine.
itch.io still beats Steam into ground in this area.
