Rep. Jimmy Gomez [...] told LA Times what happened when he tried to check on people who were arrested with Reps. Luz Rivas, Norma Torres & Lou Correa: "They didn't have access to food & water on a schedule [...] don't have access to their medicines. [...]They have a right to make sure that they're treated fairly and are allowed to see their attorney. So we're here because fed law says that we as members of Congress can show up and do a facility check on all those issues."

3/3 Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ): "We have a president who sat back and did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, viciously beat police, and then when those people who viciously beat police and led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted by juries, he pardoned them all. So for him to be talking to anybody about responsive law enforcement to protect people is hypocritical at best."

… Of course, drunk Pete Hegseth had to weigh in with a post. Note that he has even adopted the Cult Leader’s syntax and inappropriate caps usage: “The violent mob assaults on ICE and Fed Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK. Under President Trump, violence & destruction against fed agents & fed facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE. DOD is mobilizing the Nat Guard IMMEDIATELY to support fed law enforcement in LA. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.” … Newsom: “The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior.” … Full-time social media troll / part-time SecDef Hegseth responded: “Deranged = allowing your city to burn and law enforcement to be attacked. There is plenty of room for peaceful protest, but ZERO tolerance for attacking federal agents who are doing their job. The National Guard, and Marines if need be, stand with ICE.”
"Trump almost face-planted today while attempting to walk up the steps to Air Force One. Expect media to be banned from future tarmacs. … Then again they probably won’t even talk it." [incl. a photo of Trump, stumbling and nearly falling on his face as he tries to climb the airplane steps.]

Tips to secure SSH: cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-…

The more software you use, the larger the attack surface for your Linux install is. It's always good to take a look at all the installed applications, and libraries, and remove what you don't use anymore. You can also remove packages that aren't linked to anything else and aren't used by anything.

On Debian or Ubuntu, for example, you can find these by running sudo apt autoremove

And on a desktop, you probably already apply updates, or your distro has auto updates enabled. But on a server, it's easy to let things slide, and forget to log in regularly and make sure things are up to date. I'm guilty of that myself.

And just like with packages, libraries, and apps, you should also make sure you only run the services you actually use. You can list all services running with:

systemctl list-unit-files

To stop a service you don't need, you can run

systemctl stop SERVICE

To stop the service from starting with the system, you can run

systemctl disable SERVICE

If you're on a server, the general rule of thumb is also NOT to run a graphical desktop on it. It will often be much more secure to use SSH to log in to the server remotely.

But you might also need to secure SSH first. If you have multiple users, make sure only the ones who need it have SSH access. To do that, you can edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and type AllowUsers then the names of the users that will actually have access to SSH.

Now, something that might be useful in general, for a server or a desktop, is making sure all the users are correctly handled. The first thing will be to disable root login.

If you decide to disable the root account, make sure at least one user has admin privileges though, or you'll have a system without any way to access any task with sudo. Once you're certain everything is ok, you can use the following method:

Edit /etc/passwd, and change the first line, by replacing /bin/bash, or whatever other shell root currently logs into, by /sbin/nologin (or /usr/sbin/nologin depending on the distro)

If you prefer, you can simply disable root login through SSH, so the account is still there if you want it locally, but remote attackers won't be able to login as root. To do so, you can edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and uncomment the PermitRootLogin line, and then set its value to no. Restart SSH with sytemctl restart sshd, and you're done.

To remove the ability to use USB, Thunderbolt or Firewire, you can add the following lines to their respective files (create them if need be). To revert this, just remove the lines that have been added in the various files by the commands.

Add: install usb-storage /bin/true to /etc/modprobe.d/disable-usb-storage.conf
Add blacklist firewire-core to /etc/modprobe.d/firewire.conf
Add blacklist thunderbolt to /etc/modprobe.d/thunderbolt.conf

“Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard the Madleen [...] This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ’s binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade—their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately.”

Israel had already declared what it was going to do. This was bound to occur. About baby formula, food and medical supplies, the Palestine authority should step up and handle it.

Gaza strip had zero Israel troops prior to 7-Oct-2023. It had hospitals, schools and electricity. Now significant portion of Gaza is rubble and it is crawling with Israeli troops.

The loosers are people on both sides. How many classes have children of Gaza missed? Was Oct 7 worth it?

09.06.2025 Militarismus ist kein Erziehungsziel


Friedensfähig statt kriegstüchtig!

Eine Woche vor der 1. offiziellen Militärjubelfeier- dem Veteranentag - mit der Bundeswehr vor dem Reichstagsgebäude müssen wir noch einmal auf die in unsere Köpfe geprügelte "Wende" in unseren Köpfen aufmerksam machen. Plötzlich wird wieder offen über Kriegstüchtigkeit gesprochen und oft sogar schon ein Datum für den nächsten Krieg genannt.

Angeblich will Russland ab 2029 die NATO angreifen und deshalb müssen wir unseren in den letzten 3jahren bereits verdoppelten Kriegshaushalt noch einmal mehr als verdoppeln (von 2 auf 5% des BIP). Dem Wahnsinn scheinen keine Grenzen gesetzt, denn so eine Erhöhung ist ohne weitere Einschnitte in Soziales, Bildung, Rente unmöglich.

Um diese wahnsinnigen Ziele durchzusetzen soll die Wehrpflicht - und die innere Bereitschaft bei der Jugend - erhöht werden, wie der 1. verlinkte Artikel zeigt. Lesenswert!

Im 2. verlinkten Artikel wird dann deutlich, was die Rolle Deutschlands als Kriegsschauplatz dabei sein soll. Mit Polen an der "zukünftigen Ostfront" gelegen, müssen die Brücken, Straßen und Eisenbahnlinien für den Durchmarsch der NATO Partner im Westen "resilient" sein.

Nebenbei wird dabei auch an die "Probleme" für Krankenhäuser, THW und Feuerwehr gedacht, die mit den hohen Opferzahlen überfordert sein werden. Seit der proklamierten "Zeitenwende" werden Vorschläge unter dem Label "Zivil-Militärische Zusammenarbeit" in die Debatte geworfen, die allesamt grausig sind. Auch der Bunkerbau soll wieder gefördert werden. Dabei werden die Bunker bei der nächsten Ahrtal-Katastrophe genauso absaufen wie die Häuser ...

Abgesehen von den Milliarden-Kosten für diese angebliche Resilienz, die auch in den beschlossenen "Sondervermögen" (Jahrzehnte andauernde Schulden) nicht vorhanden sind, wird es langsam Zeit die Debatte für Alternativen zur Kriegstüchtigkeit zu öffnen. Wenn dies nicht bald geschieht, machen wir selbst Deutschland wirtschaftlich, sozial und bildungsmäßig zu einer Ruine ...

Freedom Flotilla organiser Huwaida Arraf shortly after she and the rest of the ship’s support crew lost contact with the Madleen:

“All those on board have been abducted. They have been taken against their will while they were sailing peacefully and lawfully in international waters…

They were in international waters, sailing towards Palestinian territorial waters, not getting near Israeli waters…

It needs to be made very clear that Israel has absolutely no jurisdiction, no lawful authority, to take over this vessel.”

Iodé is Android, but with all Google software removed. It uses Lineage OS as a base, but adds a built-in ad and tracker blocker that runs at all times, locally on the device.

The ROM itself will be familiar if you ever used a Pixel. On the Pixel 5, Iodé OS 4 was preinstalled, and it's based on Android 13. The latest security update was on January 5th 2023. The Iodé team told me they provide security updates every 2 months, and every month for beta users.

The default experience is as close to stock as can be: you have either the 3 button layout of Android, or the gestures, a dock of apps at the bottom, an app drawer by swiping up, and a few preset widgets.

In terms of apps, Iodé ships with a Firefox fork by default, which disables telemetry, trackers and enables alternative search engines right out of the box. The default email client is Pretty Easy privacy, or pEp. It's a simple email client with an easy interface, that adds end to end encryption capabilities to any mail account.

For Maps, you get Magic Earth, which is also open source, and uses OpenStreet Map. The keyboard is OpenBoard, the camera app is OpenCamera, which, while very powerful, has a terrible user interface and looks pretty bad.

Iodé comes with a tracker blocker built in. This thing works using a man in the middle attack style: the OS intercepts all communications and requests that go out of your phone, and blocks everything that's part of the blocklists. These blocklists are collaboratively sourced, and include a LOT of adblock and tracker blocker related things. This system is based on Energized Protection, which is an open source project licensed under the MIT license.

To complement this, there's a preinstalled app that lets you check out how many requests you've blocked to how many recipients.

Iodé OS relies on 2 app stores: you get F Droid for all your open source app needs, and you get the Aurora Store. Installing apps works very well, I encountered 0 problems here.

Where you'll have issues is running apps that depend on Google services. I tried installing the Youtube app, and it never opened. Other Google apps got me the same experience, like the youtube studio app. Stuff like Google Maps or Google Photos worked, but were unable to use the already added Google account in micro G.

After reaching out to the Iodé team, they told me they have identified the issue, which is fixed in the beta, and will be patched in the next OTA release.

Interestingly, stuff like my banking app worked immediately on Iodé, letting me use the phone as my secure device to authenticate purchases online, something that is usually blocked because the device doesn't pass SafetyNet checks. Here, it all worked perfectly for me.

Compared to Lineage OS, it adds all these tracker and ad blocking capabilities. You could probably replicate that yourself on Lineage, but at least here, it's setup right out of the box.

Compared to something like /e/, the latter has more advanced privacy features, with the ability to scramble your location at the press of a button, and more complete privacy controls.

But /e/ also deviates a lot from stock Android, with their own launcher, their own forks of open source apps, and generally an experience that won't appeal to everyone.

A new paper criticizes the capabilities of LLMs in reasoning and formal logic. It builds on previous arguments made by Gary Marcus and Subbarao Kambhampati about LLMs' limitations in generalizing beyond their training distribution.

The paper argues that LLMs are not a substitute for well-specified conventional algorithms and have limitations that are becoming clearer. The the field of neural networks is not dead, but the current approach has clear limitations.

Just a reminder that Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically any genetic tech today, was only possible because of an extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time.

Saw that the IDF has boarded the Freedom Flotilla and arrested everyone aboard: abc.net.au/news/2025-06-09/isr…

Worth remembering that the IDF killed nine people on the Freedom Flotilla in 2010, and injured thirty, so it's not as bad as it could have been. Maybe the high profile of Greta Thunberg helped.

But as they say, it's not about this boat or these activists. It's about the people, including the children and the little babies, starving to death in Gaza as Israel calculatedly denies them food, and locks up the measly trickle they are allowing in behind a ghoulish series of death traps. Good on the Flotilla activists for trying to shine a spotlight on that #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

I admit, the movie gets more right than I had remembered.
