This is deliberate and open starvation as a weapon of war. Israel has made these food hubs the only method of obtaining food aid, refusing to let aid agencies in. And the world stands by. I am deeply ashamed of my own government for supporting these genocidaires.

Full disk encryption - Hibernation and unlocking


Hey magical linux-oracle,

I recently made a full disk encryption on my computer via the debian installer.

I partitioned it like this:

SSD:

-- unencrypted part --

Boot - 1GB space, Mounting point: /boot

EFI - 512MB space, Mounting point: ESP, bootable flag: on

-- encrypted part --
Encrypted container with a volume group (vg-1) containing 3 logical volumes:
Root - 50GB space, Mounting point: /
Swap - 30GB space, Mounting point: swap
Home - Rest of space, Mounting point: /home

  • Second harddrive fully encrypted with one logical volume and mounting point /mnt/data

The install of linux worked pretty well.

Unfortunately, the hibernation part doesn't work out of the box. When I press hibernate (or standby), it only goes to the lock screen. How can I solve that issue? (Is it even a good idea to use hibernation on encrypted devices?)

Second thing: As you can see from my setup, I use 2 disks. When I start up my system, I only need to enter my decryption password once (not twice for the 2nd HD) and I see, that my second hard disk seems to be mounted already. It seems that people usually struggle with typing in their passwords twice and want a solution for that. Is it possible, that debian automatically fixed this for me (It's the same pw for both)?

Thanks!

You have to use two swaps if you already use one swap, because one will be used when the system is on, but the second will be used to set the RAM content + the 1st content into SWAP (if any), otherwise, it would fail.

Then, find the hibernation swap uuid:

sudo swapon --show
lsblk -o name,uuid

Then
# /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=UUID=xxxx"

\#/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
resume=UUID=xxxx

# bash
sudo update-grub
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u

# to hibernate on lid switch
# /etc/systemd/logind.conf
HandleLidSwitch=hibernate

Then reboot 😀

I have this working on Debian like how you have it set up, everything on an encrypted lvm volume, except for boot and efi. Just one disk though. When waking up, it asks for the password like it does during normal bootup. It then restores RAM from the encrypted swap after you type the password. I think it worked out of the box, but it has been a while, so not 100% sure if I had to enable this somehow. Anyway this looks good to me.

If you manually run systemctl hibernate, does that work? Assuming this also does not work, you need to look at the logs during the failed hibernate attempt. Probably something like sudo journalctl -f and/or sudo dmesg -wH (for kernel logs). Open this up in two terminals, run systemctl hibernate and observe any errors or warnings.

It's possible this is a hardware/driver issue, i.e. a driver prevents hibernation or fails at it. You may be able to figure out which driver/device is responsible by looking at the logs.

If Starmer was serious in condemning atrocities committed in Gaza, he could stop sending weapons and intelligence to Israel, stop trading with them, kick out the ambassador, recognise Palestine and more. None of that, quite the opposite in fact.
The article goes on to expose our current Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely for the far right extremist she is. She is a war criminal and should not be given sanctuary in UK or anywhere.

So this is a thing that is VERY VERY much nowhere near done yet, but I want to share what I've got so far. It's a list of as many retro games as I can find which had a trans person on the dev team or otherwise involved in some way, along with a quick summary of who and what they did. It's partially an attempt to counter the narrative that trans people are some New Thing that's only just showed up on the gameing scene and also society in general, which sometimes these kinds of lists can accidentally imply, and also it's just kind of a fun bit of HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL SHIT TRANS PEOPLE DID. I've found over 170 games so far, with quite a lot I'm still to properly go off on.

(Edit: That's over 300 (!) games now. Thank you SO much people who've pointed me at stuff I've missed. I'll be working on trying to play all of these and write up stuff about the ones I haven't really said anything about yet.)

Oh, would you look at that? It almost lifts the spirit, but not quite.

You know, looking at fresh water like this reminds me that AI will use over 6 billion cubic meters of water between now and 2027 just to cool down the data centers.

While the average human being only drinks 60 cubic meters of water in his life.

Yes, it's a scarce resource, but a small price to pay for a technology that would show us what Ratatouille would look like if it was directed by Stanley Kubrick.

The Zionist Wikipedia

Is the Hebrew Wikipedia edited according to the project's stated ethos? My experience contributing suggests it is not. It has been dominated for over a decade by right-wing and far-right activists, including Kohelet operatives, who have transformed it into a cesspool of propaganda that denies Palestinian existence, ostracizes liberal voices and the LGBTQ+ community, and injects poisonous #Islamophobic content into every article touching on these topics. This is an introductory post. I will provide additional information in this thread.

Background information

This is a link to a 2010 initiative to train #Wikipedia editors from the Israeli "settler movement." This post of Fandom includes both the original course announcement and subsequent discussion about a workshop, which organized by the Yesha Council (an umbrella organization of municipal councils of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank) and "My Israel" organization.

The workshop was designed to train "Zionist Wikipedia editors" with the stated goals of:

- Influencing public opinion in Israel and globally

- Adding content on topics important to participants

- Countering terms like "occupation" and "settlements"

The 3-hour training session was held on August 17, 2010 in Jerusalem.

Two experienced Wikipedia editors (Amikhai and Zohar) decided to conduct the training themselves, emphasizing Wikipedia's neutrality policies rather than "Zionist editing." They created materials specifically highlighting:

- Wikipedia's neutrality requirements

- Discussion culture and behavioral guidelines

- Avoiding edit wars

- Wikipedia's non-national, non-ideological nature

The workshop generated significant media attention, with participants interviewed on radio and TV.

According to reports, some attendees stated intentions to edit articles about political figures and controversial topics, despite organizers' advice to start with less contentious subjects.

How did the community respond to this initiative?

Just based on this discussion on Fandom alone (so before these right wing operative started their "work",) the reactions were mixed - some welcomed new contributors who understood the rules, while others expressed concern about editors arriving with predetermined agendas. The organizers emphasized they successfully conveyed Wikipedia's neutrality requirements to most participants.

[Mostly solved?] audio distortion from hdmi on graphics card


OK, I'm on Debian Trixie with Gnome and just got a new (used) geforce 1050ti graphics card. I installed the proprietary drivers, and everything was working fine (after wrangling wine issues) until I turned on the sound. Playing something simple from a single audio source would work OK. But if another program started playing something, or if I pause/played quickly, then the audio would get all distorted and echo-y.

So far, the only way I can get the audio to be stable is the following:

  1. in gnome settings, set the audio output to HDMI/displayport
  2. install easyeffects
  3. under output/players, enable the PipeWire ALSA [fluidsynth] playback
  4. under PipeWire/General, uncheck the "Use default output", and change the output to "Built-in Analog Stereo" (which in my case isn't hooked up with anything)

Alternatively, I can changev the Gnome settings to the "Built-in Analog", and then in easyeffects, I can exclude the pipewire ALSA, and enable whatever programs I want to hear. The problem with this method is the Gnome volume control then doesn't work.

I'm mainly posting in hopes this gets indexed and helps some other wayward linux weirdo in the future. But I'm also curious if yall have any suggestions for a more permanent fix. Remove ALSA? In the default configuration, it definitely seems like there's some feedback or doubling or interference going on with pipewire and/or ALSA.

But linux audio is still black magic to me. I don't even know if ALSA or pipewire is a lower level. It's one of those situations where I half-solve a problem I couldn't find by googling, and just want to put it out in the ether
