#Synology #DSM doesn't ship with the unzip command. Which sucks because that means you can't do any normal #unzipping of #files from an ssh session.

But they do ship with the 7z command. Which is good because you can use it to #unzip files from an ssh session.

I'm doing that right now.

And here's the copyright screen. The Copyright date does not make me feel good. That's 9 years ago. Oof! I don't even want to know how many #vulnerabilities have been patched and fixed in newer versions.

This is a very bad practice on Synology's part, and it's not like my NAS is super old and out of support either. It's a DS2422+ running the latest DSM version.

Jupiter was formerly twice its current size, had a much stronger magnetic field

Here's a link to a 5-hour Congressional Hearing on April 6, 2000, on Autism and Childhood Vaccines. C-Span is the only place I could find this.

The committee chair was Rep. Dan Burton (R-Indiana), whose granddaughter nearly died after getting a Hep-B shot. His grandson becoming severely autistic after getting 9 vaccines in one day. Burton is now a lobbyist for the Church of Scientology.

The vice-chair was Rep. Henry Waxman (D-California) who was and still is a big pharma shill, and is a lobbyist for them now.

Here's how the hearing went:

  1. (00:1:37) - Opening statements by chair and vice chair. Burton's opening statement is worth watching.
  2. Parents of vaccine injured children testify.
  3. (01:52:00) - Andrew Wakefield reads a PowerPoint. Not worth watching.
  4. (02:06:00) - John O’Leary talks about using PCR in Wakefield's study. It is over my head, but maybe interesting to Dr. Jay.
  5. (02:42:30-02:48:10) - Paul Offit talks about three arguments against vaccinations. When he talks about objections to IM injection, his answer is very brief and very weak.
  6. (04:22:40) - Mary Megson talks about how she treats autistic children. I found this very interesting.

I tried to download this video from C-Span, but no luck with the software I use. I also tried to save the link to the Wayback Machine, and it did save for one day, then disappeared with an error message.

Uydurulmuş Bir İnanç, Yıkılamayan Bir Nefret

Mahmut Uzun

Sünni denilen “Türk-İslam sentezi”,
Türk’ün devlet eliyle inşa ettiği uydurulmuş bir inandır.
Tarihi ne gelenekten gelir, ne hakikatten.
Başta Aleviler olmak üzere, bu toprakların kadim inançlarına ve halklarına düşmanlıkla var olmuş,
kökü yüzyıllara uzanan bir nefret ideolojisine dönüşmüş ve tüm toplumları kendisine dönüştürmek için nice katlıyamlarını yapmış ve devletlerin tüm imkanlardan faydalanmıştır...

Alevi nefreti, bir sapma değil, bir bağnaz dinin adıdır.
İnancın değil, inkârın adıdır bu sistem.
Ve şunu açıkça söylüyorum:
Değişmesi mümkün
değildir.
Çünkü kendini var eden nefretle yaşıyor, onunla büyüdü, büyümeye devam ediyor.

Bu topraklarda hakikat isteyenler için gerçek
nettir:
Bu nefret dağılmadan, biz bir arada yaşıyamayız.

Gerçek budur.

Dağılabilirsiniz.

اصول سیزده‌گانهٔ معرفتیِ بنجامین فرانکلین


بنجامین فرانکلین، نفْس خویش را به مدد امساک و پرهیزگاری، که از دوران شباب بدان خو گرفته بود، مهار کرد و به خلوص آن همت ورزید. او فهرستی شامل سیزده روش سودمند در زمینهٔ آموزش اخلاق، که خود وی در تمام طول زندگی بدان پایبند بود، به صورت زیر تنظیم کرد:

خویشتن‌داری: شکم را تا مرز بلاهتِ شعور پُر مکن و تا مرز بی‌خودی منوش.

سکوت: سخنی بران که خود یا دیگران از آن سود گیرید؛ از سخنان بی‌ثمر پرهیز کن.

نظم و انضباط: هرچیز را در جای خود قرار ده و هر کاری را به وقت خود موقوف کن.

عزم و اراده: آنچه را باید به انجام رسد، بدان همت گمار، و آنچه را بدان اراده نموده‌ای، بدون وقفه و خلل به انجام رسان.

قناعت: از خرج کردن برای خوش‌آمدِ دیگران یا خشنودی خویش بپرهیز و چیزی را ضایع مکن.

سعی و کوشش: زمان را از دست مده، هر لحظه به کاری سودمند بپرداز، کارهای باطل را از خود دور کن.

راستی و درستی: از فریب بپرهیز، اندیشه را به عصمت و حقیقت آراسته دار و به سخن خویش پایبند باش.

عدالت: راضی به زیان دیگران مباش، مباد که بر کسان ستمی روا داری و آنان را از خیری که بدان موظفی، بی‌نصیب گردانی.

اعتدال: از تندروی پرهیز کن؛ اهانت ناروا به دیگران، که به گمان خویش، خود نیز درخور آن نیستی، روا مدار.

نظافت: ناپاکی را از تن و جامه و خانهٔ خویش بزدا.

آسایش خیال: آرام باش و از خرده‌گیری بپرهیز و از وقایع عادی و حوادث اجتناب‌ناپذیر روی درهم مکش.

عفّت: در ارضای میل جنسی اعتدال را رعایت کن؛ تنها به‌خاطر حفظ تندرستی و بقای نسل و نه تا مرز جنون و سستی، نزدیکی کن. در این راه از جرح عواطف و سلامت خود و دیگری خودداری کن و دغدغهٔ خوشنامی خویشتن را به دل داشته باش.

تواضع و فروتنی: از پیشکسوتان بزرگ، مانند عیسی مسیح و سقراط تقلید کن.

Screwed up permissions, ownership, attributes on large fs. How to reset?


I have been playing around with chmod, chown, setfacl and special bits trying to get multiple system/full users in same group correct access permissions to my media collection.

But I've messed it up somehow and now I'm having weird problems that are hard to track.

I would like to set my whole collection back to the defaults.

What is the best way to do this?

One problem I've had when making changes to so many files is the process seems to go forever without completing. Eventually it gets killed so my filesystem has variable attributes throughout. how can this be worked around?

I want everything to be owned by myuser, group media, everything else default I will sort it from there once I have a fresh slate.

And is there a way to backup these attributes only? I don't have enough storage to backup the files themselves.

It is Debian with ext4 filesystem.

Edit to add: Media collection is on its own separate drive/filesystem; this has no impact on anything else on the computer.

I'm not familiar with chacl ("change the access control list of a file or directory"). Is is similar to setfacl ("set file access control lists")? A matter of preference/habit?

It seems like -B does "Remove all ACLs". Which I guess is what I am asking for? Files on linux are OK to have no ACLs?

About the find ... {} +, I see {} +

runs the specified command on the selected files, but the command line is built by appending each selected file name at the end; the total number of invocations of the command will be much less than the number of matched files.


So does it wait until it has found all the matches to run the command as a giant batch instead of running it as it finds matches?

So does it wait until it has found all the matches to run the command as a giant batch instead of running it as it finds matches?


almost. it runs the command in batches, if you have few enough files it may only run it once. this shouldn't make it slower, but actually faster.

and yes, linux does not use ACLs by default. ~~on ext4 usage of ACLs is not even enabled by default, but only if you set it up with the right mount option~~

Behind the Enemy Everywhere: Return of Palestinian External Ops?


In 1971, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) published an issue of its journal Al-Hadaf, dedicating its second edition to the topic ‘The PFLP and External Operations.’ The piece explored the Front’s rationale and its responses to the varied reactions surrounding the operations it had launched since July 1968. Operations that included hijackings and bombing Israeli companies and embassies across Europe.

The Front’s response focused on its fundamental principles, chiefly, the nature and definition of the enemy. According to the PFLP, the enemy camp is a triad: The Israeli Entity (Zionist movement), global imperialism, and Arab reactionaries. This, the Front argued, was a precise diagnosis of the conflict. Consequently, it maintained that targeting the enemy should not be restricted by geography, since the enemy itself had made the entire world a battlefield.

The second pillar of the PFLP’s reasoning concerned media and mobilization: external operations, far from tarnishing the Palestinian cause, were in fact a form of revolutionary media that forced the world to listen to the Palestinians. “These operations,” the pamphlet stated, “are revolutionary propaganda that pulls out the wax from European ears.” During that period, the media dimension was central to the fedayeen who carried out such missions. In the collective will and testament of the martyrs of the 1972 Munich operation, the fighters wrote: “We hope our revolutionary action will help the world grasp the grotesque reality of the Zionist occupation in our land. Our revolutionary method aims to expose Zionist-imperialist ties.”

The martyrs, and the Front, were right. These operations functioned as screams against a near-total Zionist grip over global media. For Palestinians and Arabs living under suffocating silence, these missions were screams embodied in flesh and blood. As martyr Nizar Banat once put it: “In the 1970s, Palestinians struck hard, and the world sympathized. It sympathized when we struck back.”

The martyrs, and the Front, were right. These operations functioned as screams against a near-total Zionist grip over global media


Today’s reality is not far from the logic the PFLP once laid out. In fact, the enemy camp, with its Zionist, imperialist, and reactionary Arab lackeys, has never been more bloodthirsty. The media logic also remains sound: armed resistance is still the most potent form of revolutionary media. What has changed, however, is that new communications tools have enabled armed struggle within occupied Palestine to become the primary focus. For those who believe that today’s narrative shift in our favor is due to a global moral awakening in the face of genocide: imagine for a moment if the resistance in Gaza were to surrender, if the Israeli army marched in and handed the Strip over to the Palestinian Authority. How would the narrative look then, especially if written by collaborators with the occupation?

The rise of the “red triangle” marks a historic shift: for the first time, we are witnessing widespread admiration and respect for armed resistance, perhaps even more than the Viet Cong or Algeria’s FLN once received. Even amid vast ideological differences among Palestine supporters (and among Palestinians and Arabs themselves) “they are all red triangles,” as one friend put it. What the resistance’s ambushes protect is the Zionists’ worst nightmare: our unique and unbroken fusion of heroism and victimhood—a paradox that we express without contradiction. In this same vein, the operations in Yemen echo the historical model of “external operations.” If a bomb planted in the late 1960s at the ZIM Shipping Company’s office in London symbolized external targeting, then Yemen’s strikes today hit the company’s nerve center.

But our central and most pressing issue remains this: shifts in narratives, no matter how strategically important, do not stop a genocide. While Yemen has successfully confronted the US and harmed their interests, it has not yet succeeded in forcing the enemy to cease its extermination campaign. Returning to the PFLP’s handbook, its strategic guidance is worth recalling: “We must adopt the principle of adapting to the objective conditions of the battle, to the nature of the enemy and its tools.”

Hence, despite the anguish and rage, imagine that decades from now we ask ourselves: how did the Zionist bastards massacre us so thoroughly? How were we not “behind the enemy everywhere”?

Still, this question demands strategic analysis. One of the lessons from PFLP’s literature is the importance of debating strategy, something the resistance movements have often lacked in an era poisoned by fanfare and blind glorification, with devastating consequences. Ironically, the same booklet warned of the enemy’s ability to “sway those high on sectarianism, regionalism, or personal gain” (noting that “sectarianism” then referred more to factionalism than today’s usage).

This is a thorny issue. One could argue, with good reason, that such operations today might backfire, reviving Zionist propaganda that frames its war as an extension of the global “War on Terror.” This could also deepen western involvement in the efforts to exterminate us. Additionally, the fantasy that western powers will intervene to stop the genocide out of concern for their own internal stability is a weak and unlikely scenario. One thing is non-negotiable, however: targeting soldiers and settlers on Arab land and in normalizing Arab states is not only legitimate, it’s long overdue.

In this bleak chapter of our struggle, we have three immediate goals: stop the war, end the occupation of Gaza, and lift the siege. Achieving them means breaking the Israeli right wing and Netanyahu himself. But domestically, there’s no viable Zionist “division” to exploit; Netanyahu still commands a solid majority. His assassination, in this stage, would be both decisive and beneficial. Yet the real pressure point lies outside, within the US administration and, specifically, in the figure of Donald Trump. The key question, then, is how to force the Americans to put a leash on their rabid dog.

Hence, despite the anguish and rage, imagine that decades from now we ask ourselves: how did the Zionist bastards massacre us so thoroughly? How were we not “behind the enemy everywhere”?


Two years into this war, we don’t have many tools left, and due to miscalculations, we’ve mishandled the ones we did possess. What remains is the global pressure born of Zionist genocidal violence: its impact on media narratives and public opinion. But even this tool is limited. While genocide may have spurred global revulsion towards Zionism, it has paradoxically instilled fear, leading to cowardly retreats and survivalist instincts. The impact of this tool, though measurable in small shifts in public opinion, is unreliable and too slow. Time is made of blood and children’s limbs, and the Americans and Zionists have already accepted the cost of bad PR. They’ve doubled down.

Our next tool is Yemen, which continues to perform admirably. One of its most revolutionary traits is the relentless search for any way to exert pressure. The rage and urgency that shape its decision-making are signs of real revolutionary will. It is admittedly true that the blood of its leaders boils at every image coming out of Gaza.

The last tool is Gaza’s own endurance, and the legendary ability of its fighters to hurt the enemy. Zionism faces a strategic dilemma here: it has failed to fracture Gaza’s internal cohesion or create rifts between its people and the resistance. Even those who oppose Hamas know they share the same fate. Both sides know that their only salvation lies in the release of the captives. And as for us, who among us has the heart to look Gazans in the eye and say: hold on a little longer?

Within this strategic diagnosis, it is our duty to support these three tools: global pressure, the fortified front in Yemen, and Gaza’s unbreakable resilience. Support can come in words, funds, and perseverance, similar to that of Yemen’s. If the long-term answer to what is to be done? lies in reactivating the tools of the Second Intifada, then the urgent question of the moment is: Will Netanyahu’s madness trigger the reawakening of the tools that preceded it? Even if it takes the form of senseless violence in the face of total deadlock?

Eco on fascism's roots: 9. For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.
Thus pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. It is bad because life is permanent warfare. This, however, brings about an Armageddon complex. Since enemies have to be defeated, there must be a final battle, after which the movement will have control of the world.

The shelter in the next county is open until 6PM, Tuesday-Saturday. They do a very brisk business on Saturdays.

I thought it was bad they weren't open Sundays. Though being closed on Sundays is still very common in the south.

But I don't want to drive an hour home with 2 cats who hate cars.
