Gaza n'a jamais été Israélien, il est palestinien et sous domination Israélienne. Une autre notion définirait parfaitement la situation (et son avenir), mais une notion qui n'est ni laïque ni scientifique : le Mal Israël et son peuple est dominé par le Mal, un mal absolu, radical, qui corrompt tout ce qu'il approche. Tellement loin de l'esprit que l'on croyait être celui de l'occident qu'on arrive pas à l'admettre (comme le Fascisme de nos institutions) Mais un Mal tellement profond qu'il convertirait un Athée Libre Penseur, car il n'est pas possible qu'un tel mal existe seul au Monde, l'Homme ne devrait pas y suffire ! Et pourtant !

The Danish Ministry of Digitization is to completely abandon Microsoft in the coming months and use Linux instead of Windows and switch from Office 365 to LibreOffice. Minister Caroline Stage (Moderaterne) announced this in an interview with the daily newspaper Politiken. It comes just a few days after the country's two largest municipalities initiated similar steps. This summer, half of the ministry's employees will be equipped with Linux and LibreOffice. If everything goes as expected, the entire ministry will be free of Microsoft by the fall, Politiken summarizes.
The Ministry of Digitalization's move away from Microsoft is therefore taking place against the backdrop of a new digitalization strategy in which the Kingdom's "digital sovereignty " is given priority. According to newspaper reports, the opposition is also calling for a reduction in dependence on US tech companies. Just a few days ago, the administration of the capital Copenhagen announced its intention to review the use of Microsoft software. The second-largest municipality, Aarhus, has already started to replace Microsoft services. Stage has now told Politiken that they should cooperate and that it is not a race. All municipalities should work together and strengthen open source.
When asked how her ministry would react if the changeover was not so easy, Stage replied that they would then simply return to the old system for a transitional period and seek other options: "We won't get any closer to the goal if we don't start." So far, she has only heard from employees who welcome the move. But in her ministry, which is mainly concerned with digitalization, she expects a lot of interest anyway. She also assured them that the initiative is not about Microsoft alone, as they are generally far too dependent on a few providers.
As background to the move, the article also refers to the events at the International Criminal Court, where an email account operated by Microsoft was disconnected. This caused an uproar across Europe. In Denmark, there is also the fact that the new US President Donald Trump has been announcing for weeks that his country wants to take over Greenland. The island in the North Atlantic is a self-governing part of Denmark, and the outrage at Trump's proposal is huge. The desire to reduce dependence on US companies is therefore evidently even greater there than in the rest of Europe.

#Palestine / Apple denied the Israeli government’s request for data from iPhone app users
#Israel requested data on nearly 700 push notifications to identify users of a specific application, possibly seeking intelligence, but #Apple refused. Since October 7, 2023, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of requests Israel has submitted to Apple. Israel may have sought to cross-reference the data with intercepted messages to identify users and their connections.
Apple provides governments worldwide with push notification data, potentially exposing user identities and unencrypted content. The US, UK, and Germany have also received user data from Apple .

The Palestinian Authority said on Thursday that internet and fixed-line services are down throughout the entire Gaza Strip following an Israeli attack on the last fiber-optic line in the enclave, AFP reports. Communications had already been cut off from northern Gaza the previous day.
“The southern and central Gaza Strip have now joined Gaza City and the northern part of the Strip in experiencing complete isolation for the second consecutive day,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that Israeli forces are preventing repair teams from reaching the site of the attack.
“Only people who have e-sims have access to the internet across Gaza,” Gaza journalist Hind Khoudary said on Twitter. “It takes you more than an hour to connect, and another hour to post. But why did Israel bomb the main internet fiber route? Why is Israel insisting on isolating Gaza from the world? So we are now deprived from food, water, electricity, and internet.”
“Think of all the horrific images you’ve seen from Gaza. Now think of what worse carnage and murderous depravity Israel must be inflicting now to cut off the internet,” tweeted journalist Sam Husseini of the news.
Indeed, this latest move comes amid a particularly egregious spike in mass atrocities from the Zionist entity. Israeli forces just killed 120 people in a single 24-hour period and injured hundreds more, with scores massacred while seeking food from Israel’s notorious “death trap” aid distribution sites. Israel has been massacring starving civilians desperately seeking aid on a near-daily basis in Gaza over the past two weeks.
Israel is continually seeking out new ways to obstruct the world’s visibility into what’s happening with Gaza. That’s why they’ve been assassinating journalists who live in Gaza at a historically unprecedented rate while banning journalists outside Gaza from entering. It’s a nonstop war against visibility and truth, because Israel thrives on lies and darkness.
It has driven the Israelis mad that their global support is being eroded by Palestinians recording their own genocide and broadcasting the footage to the world. If they think they can get away with keeping Gaza in the dark they absolutely will do so, while continuing to seek out further ways to hide the truth from the world.
[…] (They didn't explain how) half a million equipped soldiers can’t defeat 40,000 terrorists without tanks and without planes. The answer lies in Vietnam, in Algeria, in Ireland, and also in the Land of Israel [Palestine] 1948: since World War II, no invading country has defeated a nation fighting for its land—except for one. Since then, there hasn't been a democratic country that wanted to exile millions from their land—except for one. Our country.
Klein argues invading forces historically lose to native populations fighting for their land: #Vietnam, #Algeria, and #Ireland. Israel thus far is a unique exception and also singular as a self-proclaimed “democracy”, which is actively seeking mass expulsion of the indigenous Palestinians of their homeland.
[…] The state created a guiding myth, and it's been with us since childhood. In the name of this "fighting for our home" ethos, thousands of young people sacrificed their lives. This ethos has been erased. Not only erased, but transferred to the enemy. *They* are "fighting for their home," not us.
[…] A war for your home is fought near your home. Maybe near your neighbors. But certainly not by going into their home, not by expelling the owners, and not by settling family and friends there for 57 years. Nobody will admit it, but even #Hamas—despicable and condemned as they may be—is fighting for their home.
[…] The inhabitants of a home always defeat the invader. They know their home better, and their motivation is higher. They have no other land. When you're not fighting for your home, you try to find another reason for the war. Amit Segal recommends the war for destroying the tunnels (exposing the tunnels is worth 20 dead hostages). Others believe it's meant to wipe Gaza and its residents off the face of the earth.
A group of international activists, including Sweden’s Greta Thunburg, attempted to reach Gaza by boat this week to deliver humanitarian supplies on a vessel named the Madleen before being stopped, rerouted, and then deported by Israeli authorities.
I've seen some criticism that the Freedom Flotilla initiative was "silencing Palestinian voices" but she☝️doesn't seem to feel that way--she says it gave her hope. (Also keep in mind that there were Palestinians involved in organizing this, including Rima Hassan, the French-Palestinian MEP who is still being held by Israel after being kidnapped off the boat)

Current setup is PMS running on a Synology 5-bay, and another PMS running on a Shield Pro. The NAS server is primarily used for remote streaming, while the Shield serves to my home LAN (AppleTVs mainly).
I've been seeing stuttering on larger files, either using the Plex app or Infuse, and I'm fairly certain the Synology is the weak link. Network performance in the house has pretty solid, though admittedly I could stand to test it more thoroughly. I've been looking at moving my library to a standalone system. I've been looking at the Beelink ME Mini (which happens to be on sale!). What I don't know is the best way to build this out.
I don't want to have to buy all 6 SSDs (ar at least 6x4TB ones!) at once, so I'd be looking at either a stock Linux (Ubuntu or Rocky) install w/ I guess a BTRFS pool for the SSDs (I'm guessing I can use the eMMC for OS depending on how big the install is - that or use the SSD in slot 4). Alternatively, i could possibly set up TruNAS w/ the Plex pp to manage the storage.
As for populating the media, I plan to keep the Synology as the central repo of my data. I have it replicating to another NAS at my dad's house, with movies/music/tv replicating using Syncthing. I plan to also use Syncthing to populate the Beelink.
Anyway, please poke holes in this plan and/or suggest a better one. My main goals are to get the media I'm streaming off spinning disk w/ minimal power draw (didn't mention that above) in a way that I can expand storage as necessary to accommodate the media library. Nothing's purchased yet, so I'm not married to the hardware. I would ideally like to convert the library to h.265 or even AV1 if I can make it work.
ETA: For clarity: I'm not transcoding AFAIK. My Shield mounts the Synology over SMB and mostly works fine, until I try to play anything 4k - then I get stuttering. On the surface, this sounded like a network issue, but I can't find a problem w/ the LAN. My thought was to move the PMS to a single location w/ local storage, and use the Synology just as an archive.
ETA2: FWIW, I have not expanded the memory on the Synology or installed any cache drives.
