Becky Hill, Sonny Fodera - Never Be Alone


Lyrics

We’ve been stuck in the silence
Watching life passing us by
Slowly we’ve lost our minds somewhere inside these walls

Did you forget the feeling
Tryna find it staring at the ceiling
Slowly we’ve lost our minds somewhere inside these walls

I ain’t seen your face
We ain’t spoke for days
Let me lift you up
To restore your faith

It’s all that wanna do
If you let me

I wanna surround you with love
Can you remember that rush?
I know it’s been hard but now you’ll never be alone

I wanna surround you with love
Nothing else matters but us
I know it’s been hard but now you’ll never be alone

I ain’t seen your face
We ain’t spoke for days
Let me lift you up
To restore your faith

It’s all that I wanna do
If you let me

There’s no time wait
We can throw some shapes
If you’re feeling down
Come & walk this way

Yeah, but even if you do, it won't make you sick really! All good! Right?

Wrong. Aside from unvaxxed and even some vaxxed getting serious, pos fatal acute, there is immune damage that persists which may result in cancers (like HPV, EBV infections) and higher risk of worse outcomes from flu, fungal disease, etc. And that immune damage may be lifelong for many-we just don't know yet.

More on ASSHOLE Prasad, charlatan, moron and fake. EVEN IF this were true, which evidence is lacking, no question ANY AEs need to be acknowledged and if that leads to mitigation or elimination of risks, THAT is powerful, but REALITY and EVIDENCE shows MILLIONS were saved from disability and death with the vaccines.

Dear Fedi friends.

As some of you may know, I have a wonderful daughter Lila who had a severe form of epilepsy at the age of 5 months. This epilepsy is called West Syndrome.

We had to go through a hell of a treatment to stop her seizures. The thing that helped her was called "Synacthene Retard". It's basically ACTH, a synthetic hormone similar to adrenocorticotropic hormone produced by our anterior pituitary gland.

My daughter was one of the last kids who had a chance to get the Synacthene Retard from the lab that produced it (Alpha Sigma). This was late March 2024. And in May 2024 Alpha Sigma said they discontinued this product without ANY public explanation.

I am trying to inquire about the disappearance of Synacthene Retard from French pharmacies. I am looking for contacts of a medical journalist or an expert in pharmaceutics to help me lead this investigation. It may save lives of dozens of other kids with that suffer from West Syndrome. Thank you!

I built a tool for managing config files


So, some times ago I had this question feddit.it/post/22496010 about how to manage my system configuration, storing it on a repository or something.

Many people recommended using ansible to manage the system as a whole, but my system was already up and running, what I wanted instead was something to move around files while fixing up their permissions, so I build a python script for that.

The script grew more refined as time went on, and so now I'm publishing it so anyone can use it.

p.s.: this script is purely python and has no external dependencies!


How to manage configuration files


I'm trying to find a better solution to manage configuration files, both user's dotfiles and system files in /etc.
I'm running an ubuntu server where I have a bunch services with custom configurations, and systemd drop-in files, but on top of that I also have some scripts and user dotfiles that I need to track.

What I'm doing right now is that I have a folder full of symlinks in the admin user's directory (poor username choice, btw) and I'm using bindfs to mount this directory inside a git repository, this way git won't see them as symlinks, and will version them as regular files. The problem with doing this is that as git deletes and rewrites files, bindfs fails to track the changes and converts the symlink to regular files.

I looked into chezmoi, but that is only meant to track user dotfiles and will refuse to add a file from /etc, that is unless doing some extra work. But even so, chezmoi will not track the user:group of files, so I would still have to manage that manually.

I also looked into GNU Stow, and that would not complain about files from /etc or anywhere, but it similarly will not track permissions and I would have to manage that manually.

I see that some people are using ansible to manage dotfiles, but at that point, it would make sense to just migrate to ansible, except I don't want to rebuild my server from scratch to use ansible. Also it looks like a lot to learn.

Is there a better solution I'm not seeing? Maybe something using git hooks?

Edit:

I ended up using pre-commit and post-merge git hooks to launch a python script. The python script reads from a yaml file where I annotate the file paths and permissions, and then copies to or from the file location to the git repository.

I used the sudoers file to allow the admin user to run this specific script with specific arguments as root without password (because the git commands are run from VS Code and not manually), which is dangerous, be careful when doing that. I have taken special care to make this secure:
* I used absolute paths for everything, to avoid allowing running from a different pwd as a way to copy different files
* The script itself is installed in a root-owned location, so an unprevileged user cannot edit it
* The configuration yaml is root-owned, so an unprevileged user cannot modify which files are copied or their permissions
* Configuration files that can grant permission are not managed by this script (the yaml, /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, polkit rules, the sudoers file, ...)

Edit 2: you can find the python script here

Tucker has put on airs that he is breaking controversial news (recent pods on 9/11, T.

US regime change interventionism is reliably disastrous, and is always justified based on lies. This would be true even if Venezuela really was a major drug trafficking threat and even if Maduro really was the world’s most evil dictator, neither of which are the case. Only idiots and sociopaths are clapping along with the war drums.

This weekend’s blog post and a little tale to go with the image. #sexBlog #Erotic #nude #collar #BDSM #EroticPhotography focusedandfilthy.com/2025/11/2…

Turkish President Erdoğan accused Israel of breaking the Gaza ceasefire and hiding behind “flimsy pretexts” as its forces continue bombing Gaza.

He said in a speech during the Science Dissemination Awards ceremony in Istanbul that Hamas has maintained the ceasefire despite provocations, stressing that the movement held its fire even as Israeli forces push the limits of the agreement.

He also warned of a coordinated “disinformation campaign” on digital platforms and Zionist media aimed at weakening global support for Palestinians.

In a post on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal, Erdogan also marked the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, extending his greetings to the Palestinians and saying Turkey is working to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza as winter approaches.

#Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Hamas #Turkey

UNICEF warned that nearly 9,300 children under the age of five in Gaza were diagnosed with acute malnutrition in October.

The agency said the combination of rising malnutrition, worsening winter conditions, and the spread of disease is putting young children at extreme risk.

UNICEF noted that vital winter supplies remain blocked at Gaza’s borders and urged the safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, as many displaced families face cold, flooding, and unsanitary conditions in makeshift shelters.
