109 children rescued, 244 arrested in Operation Soteria Shield, exposing widespread child exploitation in North Texas


Authorities call it a successful round up of child sex offenders, but it also shows how widespread the crime is in North Texas.

The Dallas FBI office and some of the 70 law enforcement agencies that participated announced the results of Operation Soteria Shield on Tuesday.

These are the faces of the 244 men and women charged with exploiting children for the purpose of sex trafficking or pornography.

It's the end of a month-long investigation by federal and local enforcement of a crime that authorities say is a year-round problem.

"The number of offenders arrested and the children rescued in this operation are stunning," said Jay Combs, the U.S. Attorney Eastern District of Texas. "It's stunning to hear them repeated here."

Operation Soteria Shield, which began in April, led to the rescue of 109 children.

"During this operation, many of the children recognized or rescued were previously unidentified," said Plano Police Department Assistant Chief Dan Curtis. "They'd never been reported missing. They had never had their abuse known to authorities."

[SOLVED] Recover deleted partition table - Guys, i need help!


My disk was dos labelled (MBR). So I 'fdisk'-ed my disk and entered 'o' to convert it to GPT and wrote it to the disk. Now all the partitions are gone. I want those back. I care about the data rather than the partitions

Edit 0:

Solution:
- install testdisk
- run testdisk
- choose "Create" log
- choose target disk. Eg: /dev/sda
- Choose appropriate partition type. Mine was MBR and I chose "Intel" and select "analyze"
- Now you'll see deleted partitions. Giveem appropriate flags like "*" for boot (efi partition) and "P" any other using space or arrow keys and press enter
- choose "write" and press y on the prompt to write those found partitions to the disk.

Thanks guys for the help

'We're done with Teams': German state hits uninstall on Microsoft


in reply to RedWizard [he/him, comrade/them]

This article is terrible.

In less than three months' time, almost no civil servant, police officer or judge in Schleswig-Holstein will be using any of Microsoft's ubiquitous programs at work.

Instead, the northern state will turn to [an unnamed, gaping information hole] open-source software to "take back control" over data storage and ensure "digital sovereignty", its digitalisation minister, Dirk Schroedter, told AFP.

"We're done with Teams!" he said, referring to Microsoft's messaging and collaboration tool and speaking on a video call -- via an [unnamed, gaping information hole] open-source German program, of course.


What will they use instead? Who the fuck knows! The article omits this crucial piece of information.

And don't say it's TBD; they're not going to say they're "done with Teams" without knowing what they're switching to. Or, even if they haven't put the final nail in the decision, they have a short list.

"So what you had was that the world's two major propaganda agencies, for their own quite different reasons were claiming that this destruction of socialism is socialism. And it's very hard to break out of the control of the world's two major propaganda agencies when they agree, and they agreed for different reasons, but they agreed, and then that becomes doctrine and dogma."
