You're probably already aware of this, but if you run Docker on linux and use ufw or firewalld - it will bypass all your firewall rules. It doesn't matter what your defaults are or how strict you are about opening ports; Docker has free reign to send and receive from the host as it pleases.

If you are good at manipulating iptables there is a way around this, but it also affects outgoing traffic and could interfere with the bridge. Unless you're a pointy head with a fetish for iptables this will be a world of pain, so isn't really a solution.

There is a tool called ufw-docker that mitigates this by manipulating iptables for you. I was happy with this as a solution and it used to work well on my rig, but for some unknown reason its no-longer working and Docker is back to doing its own thing.

Am I missing an obvious solution here?

It seems odd for a popular tool like Docker - that is also used by enterprise - not to have a pain-free way around this.

In an enterprise setting, you shouldn't trust the server firewall. You lock that down with your network equipment.

Edit: sorry, I failed to read the whole post 🤦‍♂️. I don't have a good answer for you. When I used docker in my homelab, I exposed services using labels and a traefik container similar to this: docs.docker.com/guides/traefik…

That doesn't protect you from accidentally exposing ports, but it helps make it more obvious when it happens.

I thought someone might say this, but it doesn't seem very zero-trust?

Ideally you'd still want the host to be as secure as humanly possible?

I use podman instead, though I'm honestly not certain this "fixes" the problem you described. I assume it does purely on the no-root point.

Agreeing with the other poster, network tools and not relying on the server itself is the professional fix

Podman explicitly supports firewalls and does not bypass them like docker does, no matter whether you're using root mode or not. So IMHO that is the more professional solution.

I've read the article you pointed to. What is written there and what you wrote here are absolutely different things. Docker does integrate with firewalld and creates a zone. Have you tried configuring filters for that zone? Ufw is just too dumb because it is suited for workstations that do not forward packets at all, so it cannot be integrated with docker by design.

I just host everything on bare metal and use systemd to lock down/containerize things as necessary, even adding my own custom drop-ins for software that ships its own systemd service file. SystemD is way more powerful than people often realize.

I don't know what the commenter you replied to is talking about, but systemd has it's own firewalling and sandboxing capabilities. They probably mean that they don't use docker for deployment of services at all.

Here is a blogpost about systemd's firewall capabilities: ctrl.blog/entry/systemd-applic…

Here is a blogpost about systemd's sandboxing: redhat.com/en/blog/mastering-s…

Here is the archwiki's docs about drop in units: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Syste…

I can understand why someone would like this, but this seems like a lot to learn and configure, whereas podman/docker deny most capabilities and network permissions by default.

Systemd has all sorts of options. If a service has certain sandbox settings applied such as private /tmp, private /proc, restricting access to certain folders or devices, restricting available system calls or whatever, then systemd creates a chroot in /proc/PID for that process with all your settings applied and the process runs inside that chroot.

I've found it a little easier than managing a full blown container or VM, at least for the things I host for myself.

If a piece of software provides its own service file that isn't as restricted as you'd like, you can use systemctl edit to add additional options of your choosing to a "drop-in" file that gets loaded and applied at runtime so you don't have to worry about a package update overwriting any changes you make.

And you can even get ideas for settings to apply to a service to increase security with:

this is the second time I've seen a post like this.

docker has always been like this. if it's news to you then you must be new to docker.

if you're using the built in firewall to secure your system on your wan, you're doing it wrong. get a physical firewall. if you're doing it to secure your lan then you just need to put in some proper routes and let your hardware firewall sort it out with some vlans.

don't rely on firewalld or iptables for anything.

What if you rent a bare metal server in a data center? Or rent a VPS from a basic provider that expects you to do your own firewalling? Or run your home lab docker host on the same vlan as other less trusted hosts?

It would be nice if there was a reliable way to run a firewall on the same host that’s running docker.

You may say these are obscure use cases and that they are Wrong and Bad. Maybe you’re right, but personally I think it’s an unfortunate gap in expected functionality, if for no other reason than defense-in-depth.

any msp will work with your security requirements for a cost. if you can't afford it, then you shouldn't be using a msp.

Or rent a VPS from a basic provider that expects you to do your own firewalling?

find a better msp. if a vendor you're paying tells you to fuck off with your requirements for a secure system, they are telling you that you don't matter to them and their only goal is to take your money.

Or run your home lab docker host on the same vlan as other less trusted hosts?

don't? IDK what to tell you if you understand what a vlan is and still refuse to set one up properly to segment your network securely.

don't confuse reliable with convenient. iptables and firewalld are not reliable, but they are certainly convenient.

in reply to slazer2au • 1 settimana fa (Ricevuto 4 giorni fa) • •

anyone gaining physical or remote access to the device can set rules. by protecting the entire network with a hardware firewall you mitigate attack vectors from other hardware on your network that become compromised.
iptables and firewalld are notorious for locking users out of the system by overzealous or green system admins. in the msp world this happens practically by the hour.
iptables and firewalld can be used against you in the event of a breach. one of the first things an attacker may attempt is to forward ports and lock system admins out as they take over the system.
make sure you save your rules properly or they'll be gone after a reboot or botched upgrade
migrating your rules from one system to another when you're changing hardware or restoring a system is a huge pain in the ass.
got a network change that's going to modify the subnet your systems are on? get ready to migrate all 15 of your devices one by one for the next 8-15 hours (depending on the complexity of your rules)

it's far easier, and safer to have all your network config done in the network. from system migrations to securing/hardening. it's far more efficient and effective to have a single source of truth that manages network routing and firewall rules. hell, you can even have a redundant or load balanced firewall configuration if you're afraid of a single point of failure.

point is, firewalld and iptables is for amateur hour and hobbyists.

if you want to complain that "docker doesn't respect system firewalls" then at least have the chutzpah enough to do it the right way from the beginning.

None of those speak to the reliability of iptables. They all sound like skill issues.

In 15 years of network engineering iptables has been the simplest part.

A layered approach with hardware firewalls is valid but when those firewalls get popped, looking at you Cisco, Fortinet, and PA you still want host level restrictions.
Your firewall or switch should never be used as a jump host to servers

If there's a port you want accessible from the host/other containers but not beyond the host, consider using the expose directive instead of ports. As an added bonus, you don't need to come up with arbitrary ports to assign on the host for every container with a shared port.

IMO it's more intuitive to connect to a service via container_name:443 instead of localhost:8443

I basically just avoid exposing ports from containers unless I really do want them exposed on the host?

Most services go through my reverse proxy, traefik.

Things like databases don't publish ports on the host because they're only accessed internally, using their container name.

How I sleep knowing Fedora + podman actually uses safe firewalld zones out of box instead of expecting the user to hack around with the clown show that is ufw.

I could be wrong here but I feel like the answer is in the docs itself:

If you are running Docker with the iptables or ip6tables options set to true, and firewalld is enabled on your system, in addition to its usual iptables or nftables rules, Docker creates a firewalld zone called docker, with target ACCEPT.
All bridge network interfaces created by Docker (for example, docker0) are inserted into the docker zone.
Docker also creates a forwarding policy called docker-forwarding that allows forwarding from ANY zone to the docker zone.

Modify the zone to your security needs? Or does Docker reset the zone rules ever startup? If this is the same as podman, the docker zone should actually accept traffic from your public zone which has your physical NIC, which would mean you don't have to do anything since public default is to DROP.

So, this discussion has intrigued me and some good points have been brought up by seemingly knowledgeable network engineers of which I am not. If I may, introduce you guys to my network to see if there are points I can improve on.

For simplicity, the network diagram would be: modem---->stand alone pfsense firewall with a tailscale overlay, running Suricata, pfblockerng, vlans to segment server traffic from normal traffic, & a very robust rule set & ntopng for traffic analysis -----> server & devices. Server is piped through Cloudflare Tunnel/Zero Trust. On the server, I run UFW, fail2ban with a hair trigger & Crowdsec. Also, since I am the only user, I lock everything down in the .host Allow/Deny & use ssh keys. Users cause complexities and complexities turn into issues. All devices are running a VPN. I do run Docker in lieu of Podman. Server has been hardened through various means and to an extent in line with Lynis.

I've been told that this is overengineered, but it seems to work just jammy. Knock on wood, I've never had a breach on my local network, though there is always the possibility. A long time ago, when I stood my first server up on a VPS, it got hacked almost immediately. So I dropped back and did some studying, but I am no network engineer.

Anyways, for the experts here, my question is: What would you do to improve, harden, rip out, redo, add etc?

ETA: Server also has a tailscale overlay.

Not sure about the distro being used, opensuse makes a docker zone to put docker interfaces on, those have their own ports and rules separate then the Ethernet assigned zone ports/services to allow. For me I had the opposite issue, I couldn't reach my docker containers from my lan, onky from the local machine because the Ethernet was on an internal zone and Docker was on its own zone. I'm not a superskilled networker dude so I just turned on forwarding and masquerade so the incoming LAN zone would forward to doocker zone and pretend to be the local machine connecting and not a LAN or remote IP.
I guess if you moved your dockers too the public zone you could get in trouble

Changes to U.S. Security Strategy 'Largely Consistent' With Russia's Vision – Kremlin -

Russia has welcomed changes in the U.S. National Security Strategy, saying the adjustments that marked a radical departure from Washington's previous policy were "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision.

Washington's new National Security Strategy, published early Friday, took aim at allies in Europe, calling them over-regulated, lacking in "self-confidence" and facing "civilizational erasure" due to immigration.

PSA: Don't use nextcloud's auto upload on the android app as a backup

I recently noticed that my nextcloud instance was missing photos. I have the android app set to automatically upload my photos. When I need to clear up space on my phone, I make a separate backup (because I'm a paranoid SOB and hard drives are relatively cheap). I noticed that nextcloud auto upload missed about 10% of the photos. I'm not going to bash the nextcloud devs, as I recognize that I am using a free product and am owed nothing, but I'm making this post so others are aware of this risk. Apparently I'm not alone help.nextcloud.com/t/android-c…

Trump blames Maduro for migrants, but a war in Venezuela could create millions of refugees

When Donald Trump has been asked about the reason he’s pressuring Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to step down and threatening military action against the country, he consistently blames the South American leader for two things: drugs and migrants.

As the Trump administration continues its strikes on alleged drug vessels at sea, the president has threatened that attacks against drug cartels on land in Venezuela would begin “very soon.” Experts who have modeled what would happen if Trump went ahead with even limited strikes warn Venezuela could see mass displacement and a new refugee surge like the 2017 crisis Trump blames on Maduro that led to thousands of Venezuelans moving to the US.

A Niskanen Center study released last month modeling refugee movements based on different types of US military action found that strikes could spur 1.7 million to 3 million additional people to flee Venezuela within just a few years if the attacks triggered a brief internal conflict.

US may end support for Ukraine war effort, says Donald Trump Jr

Eldest son of Donald Trump makes speculative comments during tirade against Volodymyr Zelenskyy and EU

Donald Trump may walk away from the Ukrainian war, the US president’s oldest son has said in comments to a Middle East conference.

In a lengthy tirade against the purpose of continued fighting in Ukraine, Donald Trump Jr also said Ukraine’s “corrupt” rich had fled their country leaving “what they believed to be the peasant class” to fight the war.

Trump Jr has no formal role inside his father’s administration, but is a key figure in the MAGA movement. His intervention reflects the antipathy among some inside the Trump team towards the Ukrainian government, and comes as Trump’s negotiating team is putting pressure on Kyiv to give up territory.

Watch out Europe, Trump is coming for your elections next

MAGA’s mission to meddle in European politics should terrify Starmer, Macron and Merz. Will any of them fight back?

Donald Trump has launched a crusade to convert European politics to his cause, mobilizing the full force of American diplomacy to promote “patriotic” parties, stamp on migration, destroy “censorship” and save “civilization” from decay.

The question is whether Europe’s embattled centrists have the power, or the will, to stop him.
In its newly released National Security Strategy document, the White House set out for the first time in a comprehensive form its approach to the geopolitical challenges facing the U.S. and the world.

While bringing peace to Ukraine gets a mention, when it comes to Europe, America’s official stance is now that its security depends on shifting the continent’s politics decisively to the right.

Hostile powers sending spies to west’s universities, says former security chief

Canadian expert David Vigneault warns of China’s ‘industrial-strength’ attempts to steal new technologies

Hostile spy agencies are now as focused on infiltrating western universities and companies as they are on doing so to governments, according to the former head of Canada’s intelligence service.

David Vigneault warned that a recent “industrial-scale” attempt by China to steal new technologies showed the need for increased vigilance from academics.

“The frontline has moved, from being focused on government information to private sector innovation, research innovation and universities,” he told the Guardian in his first interview since leaving the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), which is part of the “Five Eyes” intelligence sharing alliance with the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

It’s been this way for many years. The universities are simply too willing to accept inflated international tuition payments. There are nationals of adversaries all throughout our advanced programs. I’ll grant that most of them are probably not spies. But even if a fraction of them are, we’re badly exposed. The numbers are outrageous. It’s a gaping wound in our security and future stability to have our advanced programs populated by the children and young adults of adversary nations. During the Cold War, you would mot have seen as many students from behind the iron curtain at MIT and Cal Tech. It would have been an obvious no-no. But the greed of today’s universities is boundless and reckless.

Ukraine will not accept any peace deal requiring territorial concessions, Syrskyi tells UK broadcaster

Ukraine’s top commander, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, said it would be “unacceptable” for Kyiv to surrender territory in any peace agreement with Russia, warning that Moscow is using ongoing diplomatic talks as “cover” to seize more land by force.

Speaking to Sky News in an undisclosed location in eastern Ukraine via a translator on Dec. 5, Syrskyi said a "just peace" can only begin with a ceasefire along the current line of contact followed by negotiations.

"Our main mission is to defend our land, our country, and our population," he said. “Naturally, for us it is unacceptable to simply give up territory. What does it even mean – to hand over our land? This is precisely why we are fighting; so we do not give up our territory.”

Giving up territory would be 'unjust peace', says Ukraine's armed forces chief

In a rare interview, General Oleksandr Syrskyi warns Russia is using US-brokered peace talks as a "cover" to try to grab more land by force on the battlefield.

A comprehensive absolut beginner's guide

Hello people
I just got my hands on an old PC, and I took it as a sign to finally start my on server. Right now, I'd mostly be looking into running jellyfin since I'm working on a digital music library. On the technical side, I run Mint on my laptop, so I have basic familiarity with Linux. Are there any guides you recommend that will take me through installation of OS to a functional server?
Thank you!

Hey, welcome to the concept of self-hosting! This is where I was 15+ years ago.

Realistically, I'd just recommend installing something and trying it out. You'll iterate many time before you'll slowly start to align somewhere I suspect, in terms of software/approaches etc.

If you want the very first steps, then why not simply connect your old PC to a monitor and install a Desktop version of Mint? It's super-"wrong", but it'll get you started. Once you reach a stage of not wanting to waste memory/CPU on a graphical system, you'll be able to do something like systemctl disable lightdm.service and voila, graphics don't load on start anymore. Once you get even more confident, apt remove gdm3 xfce4 xfdesktop will remove any extra disk space (I'm dropping DE names that I approximately remember off the top of my head). With the packages for graphics gone, your system is indistinguishable from a server now.

Overall it's a nice path to walk, or at least it was fun and somewhat educative and very frustrating and giving a sense of control for me personally. Do you have any specific questions?

This is the answer.
You probably could learn *nix terminals, networking, hosting, security, and a myriad of other skills all at once if you really had to focus on it--but more often, that will just result in half-started projects and systems which never come together. Dipping your toes in first, and then gradually migrating as you build up your knowledge is the best way to not be overwhelmed, burnt out, or frozen from decision overload.

One of the nicest things about Linux is you can run most any software written for Linux on most any distro (although some may require more work than others). Picking a beginner friendly distro like Mint, with helper tools and a gui, and installing Jellyfin on it will give you a place to start. You can gradually learn the console and install other services and build out organically. Rather than hopping straight into some Enterprise Linux.

I know Jellyfin/Emby is compatible with music, but I'm advising you now to not try and cram all your media in one software. I recommend Navidrome as a music hoster. The con is that I haven't written a guide for it, as I run Proxmox it was almost too easy to need one.

As you're just starting out I'd recommend picking any Linux distro, putting the ISO on a USB drive and booting the server machine from it to install. Well, you know how to install an OS. Next, install Navidrome (guide) via the Linux or Docker guides, modify the config file to point to your music folder and change any setting you like, for example the port, and run it via systemctl or docker.

After that, login via browser with the given admin creds, make a user account for you and anyone else, install slskd for downloading and beets for correctly organising into the music directory, set up a reverse proxy to point to the Navidrome UI or connect via IP from any Subsonic client or web browser.

If you want you can install Proxmox from the start - I found it incredibly handy to make different containers and VMs to handle different projects, and in terms of Navidrome I got the install script from tteck, ran it, and once done I modified the toml variables to what I wanted and restarted the service. Plug & play.

60,000 African penguins starved to death after sardine numbers collapsed – study

More than 60,000 penguins in colonies off the coast of South Africa have starved to death as a result of disappearing sardines, a new paper has found.

More than 95% of the African penguins in two of the most important breeding colonies, on Dassen Island and Robben Island, died between 2004 and 2012. The breeding penguins probably starved to death during the moulting period, according to the paper, which said the climate crisis and overfishing were driving declines.

The losses that researchers recorded in those colonies were not isolated, said the paper, which was published in Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology. “These declines are mirrored elsewhere,” said Dr Richard Sherley, from the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter. The African penguin species has undergone a population decline of nearly 80% in 30 years.

Putin should have accepted Trump’s deal. Now Russia’s collapsing economy could lead to his downfall | Simon Tisdall

People in Britain who think they are governed by fools should take a closer look at the Russian and US presidents. Vladimir Putin is systematically ruining his country. His war of choice in Ukraine is an economic, financial, geopolitical and human calamity for Russia that worsens by the day. For his own murky reasons, Donald Trump, another national menace, offered him a lifeline last week. Yet Putin spurned it. These two fools deserve each other.

On the table in Moscow was a “peace” deal that, broadly speaking, rewarded Russia’s aggression by handing over large chunks of Ukrainian land, compromised Kyiv’s independence and weakened its defences against any future attack. The Trump deal, if forced through, would have split the US and Europe; ruptured Nato, perhaps fatally; reprieved Russia’s pariah economy; and probably toppled Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government.

These are key Russian war aims. But Putin, suffering from neo-imperial fantasies and legacy issues, said “no”. He reckons he can get it all, and more, by fighting on. He has persuaded the idiot Trump that Russia’s victory is inevitable – and that scheming Europeans are the real warmongers. Yet his premise is fundamentally flawed. Hard facts confound him. Almost four years on, he’s still trapped in Donbas mud and ice. And at home, things fall apart.

Putin should have accepted Trump’s deal. Now Russia’s collapsing economy could lead to his downfall

The war against Ukraine has hit ordinary Russians hard, and the deteriorating situation is likely to inflame tensions, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

It is a hacker’s dream. Even in the face of repeated warnings to protect online accounts, a new study reveals that “admin” is the most commonly used password in the UK.

The second most popular, “123456”, is also unlikely to keep hackers at bay.

It’s not just a problem here – Australians, Americans and Germans also use “admin” more than any other password when accessing websites, apps and logging in to their computers. Around the world, “123456” emerges as the most popular.

Three French teens drown in freak car crash in swimming pool

Three teenagers were killed when their car skidded off the road in southern France, went through a wall and crashed upside down in a private pool, trapping them inside.

The vehicle was a similar size to the pool and the teenagers - aged 14, 15 and 19 - were unable to open the doors and drowned.

unable to open the doors and drowned

If you find yourself in a car sinking in water, conserve your energy because the doors will not open until your cabin is submerged. Take a deep breath at the last second that you can (you will need it) and wait until you are fully underwater to try to open the doors. This may not have been possible with the shallowness of the pool in the above news story. There are also specialized tools for breaking car windows that you can keep in your glove compartment for emergencies.

This was written by someone who knows anyone reading this doesn't have the full picture (english speaking foreigners), so I'm just going to try to be the least biased in any favor and just put some additional information.

The correios (the state owned postal and parcel service) is in crisis, they aren't profitable, mainly because of the standardization of tariffs on imported items from China, some items that didn't pay, now pay, some items that were "lotteries" were regulated, so everything above 50 dollars (if i remember correctly) now pays the standard tax, plus state to state taxes that already existed. This affected them, because there's less imported items from aliexpress, etc, and almost all of the items were shipped through them.

They are now trying to negotiate some loans, like the denied loan from the state bank (Caixa Econômica Federal), the government gave the option to take some other loans that they would need to reestructure to take (like giving plans for people to retire voluntarely, which is always bad, because these plans are always scams). This strike seems to only happen in São Paulo (and the person writing this seems to be paulista, for their way of writing).

Now my opinion:

This is bad, really seems to try to go ahead and enshittify another service, now a service that is literally the backbone of the logistics of the country. The logistics of a country shouldn't need to be profitable, it should do the logistics, as they are a public service reaching like 99% of the country in unprofitable regions, and the workers should not be outsourced. The workers should try to fight for their rights and make their voices heard. All the power to them!

External HDD docking station + laptop/SFF/thin client vs ATX tower w/ internal mounts for NAS?

My current setup is two always-on hard drives hooked up to this two-bay external hard drive docking station plugged into a laptop via USB cable for whatever network sharing I may need. This has been good enough so far, but I'm anticipating the need to expand down the road, i.e. adding a third drive. When that time comes, part of me thinks I oughta just spring for the 4-bay version of what I already have and keep on keeping on. Another part of me thinks maybe I should plan a new build in a mid-ATX case w/ 4 or 5 HDD mounting slots for future expandability.

One thing about the external docking station that appeals to me is how portable it is, meaning if I ever want to spring for a beefier laptop or one of those thin clients, I can just plug the HDD docking station into the new host and away I go. Another nice thing about laptops and SFF equipment is how energy efficient they are. On the other hand, planning a new ATX build w/ HDDs mounted internally would enable me to plan the whole thing top to bottom w/ whichever components I like, but I'm a tad concerned about how feasible it is to achieve the same level of power efficiency w/ an ATX build compared to a laptop/SFF/thin client w/ external docking station.

Has anyone else out there had this dilemma, and which way did you go? Any advice or warnings about what might come back to bite me down the road if I stick w/ the external docking station or go w/ an ATX build?

If you want to use a thinclients only a few have that little power draw I would even consider to the heart of my always-on homeserver/NAS (so pretty much only Intel NXX processor builds). There a plenty of ITX and mITX mainboard + N100 combos out there, paired with a decent NAS case you are running a cheap and expandable config. And you can easily run a lot of docker containers on there with enough RAM provided, because normally you are using only a few services at a time and for that a N100 is plenty.
I would only consider those thinclients if AI is something you are planning to run.

Do you mean b/c AI would require a beefy host for the thin client to connect to?

in reply to yo_scottie_oh • 1 settimana fa (Ricevuto 5 giorni fa) • •

No, I wrote this a bit confusingly. There a lot of these mini PCs with the same form factor as thin clients but much beefier specs. And some of these are actually build to handle AI workloads and could be a good choice if your homeserver should run such tasks. But other than that they just draw to much power. Actual thin clients usually have similar or less cpu performance than a N100 selfbuild but if you ever feel like you need more power there is no way to upgrade it but get a completely new thin client. Plus the self build will be more reliable because of the SATA connections and often has better networking.

in reply to mpramann • 1 settimana fa (Ricevuto 4 giorni fa) • •

Thanks for clarifying. If I understand correctly, you're saying that in terms of energy usage, a thin client + external docking station for HDDs might have a smaller footprint than an ITX build, but at the expense of future upgradeability. On the other hand, an ITX build would likely draw more power than the thin client + external HDDs, but enables me to upgrade individual components down the road. Did I get that right?

Capitalism can work well when it's coupled into a virtuous circle of funding R&D to create new products and services to increase income to put back into more R&D.

At the moment it seems that a lot of companies are just trying to seek ever increasing rent extraction on existing products rather than investing in trying to innovate and relying on high barriers to entry to keep competition out.

Capitalism works fine if it’s regulated either by governments or by workers through unions.

Both at the same time, and the third necessary component - customer associations, three independent forces as a minimum.

EDIT: This is free market, "market" and not "jungle" - because there are regulated rules, "free" - because all participants are free to associate, including association to delegate association choices. "Capitalism" is a bad word because it's a term for everything from semi-traditional economies to mercantilism to libertarianism, that has interoperability of resources and assets.

Once capitalism has regulations to keep it in check and a democratically elected government is in charge and willing to do those things it’s no longer capitalism. Capitalism is putting monied interests first and crossing your fingers that the free hand of the market is anything more than a fairy told to naive idiots to make them support a corrupt-by-design system, such that those monied interests can be said to be chosen “democratically”(vote with your wallets).

The concept of a "corrupt industry" doesn't really make sense.

Corruption only works in non-profit/political/governmental contexts. It's when you have a job that requires you to value some specific higher goal more than your own personal benefit.

The whole purpose and the higher goal of an industry, same as capitalism in general is personal benefit. A capitalist cannot be corrupt. Or to put it differently: The thing that would make e.g. a public servant corrupt is the modus operandi of capitalism.

Edit, since a lot of people don't seem to get it:

Corruption means that you have some higher purpose that is corrupted in favour of personal gain.

Capitalism has no higher purpose than personal gain. A capitalist prioritizing personal gain is not corrupt, he is a capitalist.

Saying a capitalist is corrupt is like trying to make water wetter or trying to burn a fire.

What we call corruption for a public servant is ideal behavior for a capitalist.

If steel rusts, it's being corrupted. Rust itself cannot be corrupted, because it is what it is.

And yes, I very much think that capitalism sucks.

[The New Republic] Arrest Mark Zuckerberg for Child Endangerment: Shocking new revelations about Instagram in a lawsuit against social media companies should pave the way for an ambitious prosecutor to file criminal charges.

The plaintiffs’ brief alleges that Meta was aware that its platforms were endangering young users, including by exacerbating adolescents’ mental health issues. According to the plaintiffs, Meta frequently detected content related to eating disorders, child sexual abuse, and suicide but refused to remove it. For example, one 2021 internal company survey found that more than 8 percent of respondents aged 13 to 15 had seen someone harm themself or threaten to harm themself on Instagram during the past week. The brief also makes clear that Meta fully understood the addictive nature of its products, with plaintiffs citing a message by one user-experience researcher at the company that Instagram “is a drug” and, “We’re basically pushers.”
Perhaps most relevant to state child endangerment laws, the plaintiffs have alleged that Meta knew that millions of adults were using its platforms to inappropriately contact minors. According to their filing, an internal company audit found that Instagram had recommended 1.4 million potentially inappropriate adults to teenagers in a single day in 2022. The brief also details how Instagram’s policy was to not take action against sexual solicitation until a user had been caught engaging in the “trafficking of humans for sex” a whopping 17 times. As Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being, Vaishnavi Jayakumar, reportedly testified, “You could incur 16 violations for prostitution and sexual solicitation, and upon the seventeenth violation, your account would be suspended.”

One thing they do care A LOT about, is their kids. And the evidence is strong that Mark Zuckerberg and Meta executives knew children, on a mass scale, were being endangered by their products and deliberately, purposely allowed it to continue.

I commend your view on the matter, that when it comes to their children they will do something. That may turn out to be true. However, that's not going to be enough to get anyone at meta convicted under the current laws. They are running under a cover of diffuse authority and supervision internally and section 230 externally. Abhorent drug pusher comments are not admissions of guilt. They have good lawyers. We need new laws, more regulation, and fines that make Wall Street worried.

Irrelevant to the crimes themselves, but very relevant to the political pressure that can be applied to force action.

We all know the law doesn't just get applied because it should be. Especially not against the rich. It gets applied, or at least has a chance to be, when enough people are paying attention and demanding justice.

Also, section 230 doesn't apply to criminal prosecution (it may not even apply to the ongoing civil case), and there is strong evidence from the civil case that it was the executives themselves that explicitly chose not to implement safeguards that Meta employees were calling for.

We need new laws, more regulation, and fines that make Wall Street worried.

Videos, images, and text can absolutely compel action or credible harm.

For example, Facebook was aware that Instagram was giving teen girls depression and body image issues, and subsequently made sure their algorithm would continue to show teen girls content of other girls/women who were more fit/attractive than them.

the teens who reported the most negative feelings about themselves saw more provocative content more broadly, content Meta classifies as “mature themes,” “Risky behavior,” “Harm & Cruelty” and “Suffering.” Cumulatively, such content accounted for 27% of what those teens saw on the platform, compared with 13.6% among their peers who hadn’t reported negative feelings.

congress.gov/117/meeting/house…

reuters.com/business/instagram…

Many girls have committed suicide or engaged in self harm, at least partly inspired by body image issues stemming from Instagram's algorithmic choices, even if that content is "just videos, and images."

They also continued to recommend dangerous content that they claimed was blocked by their filters, including sexual and violent content to children under 13. This type of content is known to have a lasting effect on kids' wellbeing.

The researchers found that Instagram was still recommending sexual content, violent content, and self-harm and body-image content to teens, even though those types of posts were supposed to be blocked by Meta’s sensitive-content filters.

time.com/7324544/instagram-tee…

In the instance you specifically highlighting, that was when Meta would recommend teen girls to men exhibiting behaviors that could very easily lead to predation. For example, if a man specifically liked sexual content, and content of teen girls, it would recommend that man content of underage girls attempting to make up for their newly-created body image issues by posting sexualized photos.

They then waited 2 years before implementing a private-by-default policy, which wouldn't recommend these teen girls' accounts to strangers unless they explicitly turned on the feature. Most didn't. Meta waited that long because internal research showed it would decrease engagement.

By 2020, the growth team had determined that a private-by-default setting would result in a loss of 1.5 million monthly active teens a year on Instagram, which became the underlying reason for not protecting minors.

techoversight.org/2025/11/22/m…

If I filled your social media feed with endless posts specifically algorithmically chosen to make you spend more time on the app while simultaneously feeling worse about yourself, then exploited every weakness the algorithm could identify about you, I don't think you'd look at that and say it's "catastrophizing over videos, images, text on a screen that can’t compel action or credible harm" when you develop depression, or worse.

Chinese jets directed fire-control radar at Japanese aircraft, Japan says

Chinese fighter jets directed fire-control radar at Japanese military aircraft near Japan's Okinawa islands in two incidents, Japan's defence minister said on Sunday, condemning the move as "dangerous".

"These radar illuminations went beyond what is necessary for the safe flight of aircraft," Shinjiro Koizumi posted on X, adding that Japan had lodged a protest with China over Saturday's "regrettable" incident.

A fire-control radar lock is one of the most threatening acts a military aircraft can take because it signals a potential attack, forcing the targeted aircraft to take evasive action.

Solutions for remote access?

I've been setting up a music server on my home server recently, looking to move away from private hosting options like iBroadcast, but I've hit a bit of a snag when it comes to actually accessing my server when away from home.

The two most common recommendations I've seen are Cloudflare and OpenVPN. My router supports OVPN access, so I gave that a try, but couldn't ever actually make it work. I don't know for sure, but I think it's probably something with my ISP that I can't really easily work around. As far as Cloudflare goes, setting up a tunnel requires you to have a domain set up with them even if you're just using Warp, and since I don't have one, that's not an option.

What other good options are there for remote access? I'm running Open Media Vault as my server. Thanks.

Edit: Based on responses, it looks like Tailscale is the way to go since it's all private to me. Thanks everyone!

For new people, for ongoing domain registrations people should also consider the renewal costs. There are some registrars with somewhat predatory pricing schemes that end up being very expensive long term (e.g. the trendy .io TLD).

Dot com and dot net are some of the most stable ones, even though they might not appear as such at first glance. Almost anything less costly on initial costs will cost you in some other way (might not offer whois privacy (.us iirc) or be limited to residents or people with legit business on that country (.ca) or have a mixed reputation with being labeled spam (.xyz - although I believe this last one has been kind of proactive in clearing that up).

Sorry to highjack the comment, but I wish someone had warned me to look, not all TLDs are administered the same.

That is a consideration. I've never really had any issues with anything I've purchased from NamesCheap, and I've used them for years. True, my less than $5 original cost will be $11 to renew but that seems to be the standard introductory pricing scheme most everyone uses. The domain name came with whois privacy included. I hear about PorkBun a lot, but I've never used them. I'm sure there are horror stories for NamesCheap and that seems to vary from person to person. However, it is good to be well informed before making your selection.

[Canada's] Liberals Fear Closing Arms Export Loophole Would Anger U.S.

cross-posted from: lemmy.ca/post/56424420

A recent report, co-authored by the Palestinian Youth Movement, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, Arms Embargo Now and World Beyond War, identified hundreds of shipments of Canadian-made F-35 fighter jet components, other aircraft parts, and explosives and flammable materials to U.S. facilities that supply the Israeli military.
The report also highlighted 433 shipments of Polish-made TNT routed through the Port Saguenay, Quebec to U.S. army ammunition plants that make bombs used by Israel in Gaza.
The report stated that “by deliberately exempting U.S.-bound arms from export regulation and allowing Canadian infrastructure to transport weapons, Canada is circumventing its obligations under international law.”

UK IVF couples use legal loophole to rank embryos based on potential IQ, height and health

British fertility clinics raise scientific and ethical objections over patients sending embryos’ genetic data abroad for analysis

Couples undergoing IVF in the UK are exploiting an apparent legal loophole to rank their embryos based on genetic predictions of IQ, height and health, the Guardian has learned.

The controversial screening technique, which scores embryos based on their DNA, is not permitted at UK fertility clinics and critics have raised scientific and ethical objections, saying the method is unproven. But under data protection laws, patients can – and in some cases have – demanded their embryos’ raw genetic data and sent it abroad for analysis in an effort to have smarter, healthier children.

Dr Cristina Hickman, a senior embryologist and founder of Avenues fertility clinic in London, said rapid advances in embryo screening techniques and the recent launch of several US companies offering so-called polygenic screening had left clinics facing “legal and ethical confusion”.

They think of it as just giving their kid the best chances in life. They really need to listen to people like Vivian Wilson talk about what it's like to not live up to selected for traits in IVF.

We cannot ignore the fact that once the capacity for choice is introduced something essential is changed. I don't think there is an easy place to draw the line, I expect it is only degrees of gray past a certain point with preventing poor quality of life/debilitating disabilities but on the other hand it is very clear to me that there are very very very BAD places to draw the line and I absolutely do not trust the structures of society nor the choices of individuals not to violate basic human decency here. I am not an extremist on this, what I am is very worried about how I see a desire in people to choose their children in a way that would never be healthy even if they could.

What really gets ugly is that I could see this becoming a genetic arms race among nations. Sure, some nations can choose not to do it, but others will choose to proceed. This is why, as many downsides as AI has and despite all the groaning, we (as a society) can't really just opt out and halt development because our adversaries won't.

The fact that something can be done means that someone will do it if it conveys a competitive advantage.

This is a dark road to head down.

For that reason, I don't think a line should be drawn. Much like abortion, it should be a choice.

New to calckey.world. Can someone give me a few hints/directions?

What is an Antenna?
Can I myself create a Warning to post at my profile?
Can only the channels creators post on them? Because for what I een, others can comment on them.
What is a play?
What is a page?
What is a Clip?
Is there something alike tags to posts? I liked that on tumblr.

I'm on a Sharkey instance too so I know the answer to a few of these:
1. An Antenna is a way to follow tags or keywords, you can create a single antenna with all the tags and keywords you care about and then check the Antenna feed/timeline just like you do the others. You can also create multiple antennas and each of them will be a separate feed/timeline that you can access from the antennas icon.
5. It's a custom web page that you can link to from your profile or posts, this was also a thing on tumblr.
6. It's basically a bookmark - there's also favorites which is basically the same functionality
7. You can add tags to posts, however do not add spaces to your tags - most of the other fediverse software doesn't like that. 2 ways to add hashtags: add the symbol to your post like a twitter post or add it at the end, or use the hashtag button at the button of the create post and then you don't include the hashtag symbol.

Bombed Chornobyl shelter no longer blocks radiation and needs major repair – IAEA

Drone attack that Ukraine blamed on Russia blew hole in painstakingly erected €1.5bn shield meant to allow for final clean-up of 1986 meltdown site

The protective shield over the Chornobyl disaster nuclear reactor in Ukraine, which was hit by a drone in February, can no longer perform its main function of blocking radiation, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has announced.

In February a drone strike blew a hole in the “new safe confinement”, which was painstakingly built at a cost of €1.5bn ($1.75bn) next to the destroyed reactor and then hauled into place on tracks, with the work completed in 2019 by a Europe-led initiative. The IAEA said an inspection last week of the steel confinement structure found the drone impact had degraded the structure.

The 1986 Chornobyl explosion – which happened when Ukraine was under Moscow’s rule as part of the Soviet Union – sent radiation across Europe. In the scramble to contain the meltdown, the Soviets built over the reactor a concrete “sarcophagus” with only a 30-year lifespan. The new confinement was built to contain radiation during the decades-long final removal of the sarcophagus, ruined reactor building underneath it and the melted-down nuclear fuel itself.

Yet another example of Russia being the war crime committing aggressor in the war.

People who take Russia's side embody values far closer to the Nazis than Ukraine ever has.

And gives the invaders all the land they stole, while giving the victims of that invasion nothing but an empty promise to not do it again.

Bring in European/NATO country civilian aid to fix it. If Russia strikes again, you now have a reason to escalate support for Ukraine (including interpreting this as an attack on non Ukrainian assets). If they don't, the sarcophagus gets fixed. Which is the main goal.

Am i cooked? SAS or SATA

Very new to self hosting and truenas.

Got an old dell with 6x4tb of storage. Turns out they are all SAS drives and turns out hardware raid is the old thing now. Knowing none of this before what can I do with SAS drives connecting to my raid card (in photo) knowing that this is just a home NAS, SAS drives are more expensive and better to just go SATA.

What do you think?

Get a pcie to data, sell all the SAS drives and save up for 6x4tb of Seagate data drives?

What would you do with a dell server with old SAS drives if the end goal was a dependable home NAS for important home files?

I'm new to this so any input helps, thanks!

Hardware raid is fine as long as you can still get the same hardware RAID card or Motherboard.

I would argue that even then it's not great - at least for homelabs.

Raid controlller died?
Now you have to get the same one again to get your raid up again. This would be a good moment to upgrade to something more modern usually.

"alleging"

Nah, he was murdered. No question about it. Same with every other person in the boat strikes.

Just because it's done with a drone or a bomb doesn't make it any different, even if they were involved in drugs or not.

If you had a guy walking around with a bunch of heroin somewhere in the states, and a cop just shoots him down with a sniper without any reasoning other than the guy had heroin, the cop would go to jail for murder.

Well, if the system weren't complete corrupt that is.
