New, from me: Pakistani Firm Shipped Fentanyl Analogs, Scams to US
A Texas firm recently charged with conspiring to distribute synthetic opioids in the United States is at the center of a vast network of companies in the U.S. and Pakistan whose employees are accused of using online ads to scam westerners seeking help with trademarks, book writing, mobile app development and logo designs, a new investigation reveals.
This story was quite a lot of work, and I really hope some good can come of it. The scale of this operation is something to behold:

Weirdly, this story appears to now be buried in Google. If you search on the headline in Google (Pakistani Firm Shipped Fentanyl Analogs, Scams to US) you will see tons of places linking to my story, and you will see tags from the story. I don't see this behavior for any other story of mine on the homepage of KrebsOnSecurity.com now. But the story itself is basically gone from Google's search results. Gee, I wonder how that happened?
Wow, I got caught up with these guys a couple years ago with trademark registration. They impersonated USPTO attorneys, forged documents, the works. I did get a refund from my credit card company, thankfully. These bastards deserve everything coming to them.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an βinstanceβ. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have itβs own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and youβre guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you donβt expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in itβs ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still itβs primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/
Shell Accounts A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.
Web Hosting Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.
Remote Desktop Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.
Applications Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.
E-mail Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.
Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.

This is done, over. This is from a list of four empires that would be one after another--and the fourth (the Roman empire) was already in existence during the days of Christ. The lion with eagle wings was the first in that list.
I love Christ, but, God, I hate both facebook conservatives (i.e. churches) and the newer only-anti-current-gov't-of-Israel Gab conservatives (i.e. churches) they're shifting into. This is like going "Apple? The company? Getting a female CEO, you say? She's from their marketing *b r a n c h*? Uh wuh oh. The Bible has a woman eating an *a p pl e.* Genesis is finally happening."
Back then it was stuff like what they're doing here that kept me away. As much as I would look, I knew they were clueless. I'd search and find them making out a verse to be about the US just for mentioning an eagle π
Especially frustrating was when it would be a prophecy that then is interpreted, laid out, by the prophet in the same writing that the prophecy is given. But these people would have a separate interpretation than the explanation literally provided.
For a few years, I threw my hands up and decided no one knew foundational pieces to make sense of it all since they couldn't even keep to the explicit answers provided for some prophecies.
I do keep in mind--when dealing with someone, whether in regard to religion or to politics--that I had to have my hand held. Or even my ankles cut lol. And that I'm not 100% memorized, connecting, understanding, etc.
But I also keep in mind that I was walking (stumbling, putting my hands out) at all, rather than declaring I'm already there and--worse, as is the case they're doing--changing where "there" even is whenever the wind changes, ignoring the explicit road sign. "It says Babylon and then three other empires, but it's secretly about America now."
>*Not* important part Neither the chapter number nor the verse number named is where the passage they intended to quote is. (Wouldn't fault them on that--if it were not that the error in the next part--the important part--stemmed from the same skill issue.)
>Important part They completely twisted the passage because they replaced the subject--not the context, not the topic, the subject, as in the "Billy" in "Billy bounced the ball." They switched in someone else with their quote. The correct subject is on the page, literally spelled out. Any version, always there.
The present-on-the-page passage directly contradicts the point they were asserting.
But don't be fooled. Don't forget. The passage in their head is a pillar, holding the weight of a view, so it holds more weight.
Venting here that I wish people would slow down, trace what they are reading--let alone what they are saying after the fact (if they have read at all). Correct premises are more important than expedient, shining oath conclusions. Measure twice, cut once. Similar skill.

That measure would essentially ban βclosedβ preferred provider networks (PPN), in which patients can only get medication reimbursed if it comes from specific pharmacies that have confidential business agreements with their insurance company.
Quebec is currently the only province that bans PPNs.
The networks came into the spotlight in early 2024 after Manulife Financial Corporation and Loblaw announced that patients taking certain specialty drugs would have to buy their medication only from Loblaw-owned pharmacies.
Insurance companies claim closed PPNs will help ordinary people and reduce premiums.

In a new collaboration between NASA and the Smithsonian Institution, scientists now believe they can detect these changes from space. As volcanic magma ascends through the Earthβs crust, it releases carbon dioxide and other gases which [β¦]
Following an international signing ceremony Thursday, NASA congratulated Norway on becoming the latest country to join the Artemis Accords, committing to the peaceful, transparent, and responsible exploration of space. βWeβre grateful for the strong and meaningful collaboration weβve already had with the Norwegian Space Agency,β said acting NASA Administrator Janet Petro. βNow, by signing the [β¦]
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the refusal of all ambassadors of the European Union member states to come to a meeting with him and participate in an open discussion on Ukraine is a βshameful act.
as somebody with no "home internet" of my own who therefore relies on a 24/7 VPN, let me tell you I am getting very sick of dipshits simply wholesale blocking data center IPs as a "security policy"
i try my hardest to avoid those websites as part of my own security policy. at best its a lazy approach to security, at worse they just want to force you to give them maximum identifying info.
@benda the worst part about this: the site I am currently having problems with is the resources + forums + .deb repos of the weird Debian flavor (Bunsenlabs) which I run on virtualized desktops π
fortunately updates to the packages in said flavor are rare enough that I can probably ignore this for 3 months and see if it solves itself.
you know, sometimes its worth a shot to try to reach out to someone. sometimes the problem is on the DNS end, unbeknown to the admin. a few months ago i couldnt read a @igd_news article bc their DNS was blocking my VPN IP and when I pointed it out to them, to got the issue fixed. plus like... apt can literally be setup to run via tor. very silly of them to blanket block IPAs like that.
@benda oh duh, I completely forgot I could set it up to use Tor.
I had considered reaching out, it's just a couple guys running that project, and tbh they should know that blocking data center IPs is a bad call since their (relatively) light distro with compositing disabled is a great choice for running on headless desktop VMs with no GPU.
#fedihelp time, although this is a small and simple (i hope) #linux question...
in redirecting all output of a command, standard output and standard error, it seems the correct syntax is:
some_script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
except one website I am reading put >& and then later put &> and so I tried and it seems both work exactly the same... am i wrong that they are both working? if i am not wrong, how do they both work? I feel like &> would background "some_script.sh" while its standard output is going to bitbucket, and then... i don't even know.
as with so many little shell intricacies, the answer is βtheyβre very similar but not quite the sameβ and although it feels like a copout, the easiest way to explain it is just to let the documentation do it π gnu.org/software/bash/manual/hβ¦
@brhfl not in a bad way! π remember months ago I was asking about how to run a process on my server and then logout without killing it? you had recommended nohup which I didn't use, only bc i couldn't figure it out! the wikipedia article has this one line:
and I had never dealt with the I/O streams before so that shit might as well have been C. but now I am finally understanding all of this so thank you very very much!! (also, thanks to librewolf for not losing that tab... takes a while to get some things off my to-do list).
ahhh yeah, very cool! yeah itβs definitely one of the more arcane parts of linux that i, at least, canβt find a way to intuit, just have to memorize it (or at least where it lives in the docs, lol)
zshβs documentation is even closer to c; they literally just point you to the syscalls manual and call it a day π
yeah, i feel like i should move full-time to bash at some point. itβs just not worth it if you want to do any portable scripting. i used fish for years but all it did was teach me awful, awful habits. zsh is much better but any time i go to write a script, i want to do it in bashβ¦ and while it largely confirms to standards, afaik your initial question, both forms are identical in zsh. so thereβs little shit you have to check on every time. itβs rough.
@brhfl this is all a super bummer to me π i guess i should sit down and figure out which shell is going to be the most portable before i get too deep in studying shell scripting.
bleh, i worded that super poorly! ime bash is the way to go for portability, so i try to write all my scripts in bashβ¦ but i use zsh interactively currently, and occasionally that comes back to bite me when iβm writing for bash and things are just sliiightly different.
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
KERMANSHAH (IP) β President Masoud Pezeshkian fired back at U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday, dismissing his recent criticism of Iranβs internal challenges and vowing to resolve national problems with the help of the Iranian people.
