The Canadian government's border bill, Bill C-2, includes provisions that would allow police and CSIS to request information from service providers, such as doctors, abortion clinics, hotels, without a warrant.
The bill would give authorities the power to ask for information without a warrant if there are reasonable grounds to suspect a crime or a potential breach of law. Providers would be gagged from disclosing that a demand had been made.

Provocation sous faux drapeau : plan ukraino-britannique, torpilles russes et navire américain
Le Service russe de renseignement extérieur a annoncé la préparation d'une provocation conjointe ukraino-britannique en mer Baltique. Selon le SVR :
« L'un des scénarios envisageables consiste à organiser une attaque à la torpille russe contre un navire de la marine américaine. »
❗️Il est souligné que des torpilles de fabrication soviétique/russe ont déjà été transférées par l'Ukraine aux Britanniques.
Selon le plan :
« Certaines d'entre elles exploseront à une distance de sécurité du navire américain, tandis qu'une autre ne fonctionnera pas et sera présentée au public comme une preuve de l'activité malveillante de la Russie. »
▪️Ce scénario vise à susciter un écho international et à aggraver la situation dans la région.

#PJAK: «During this critical and decisive phase, we view the cooperation of Kurdish parties and the transition from party-based rule to popular self-governance in #Kurdistan as a historic duty. We call on all forces, parties, and civil society organizations—with Iranian women at the forefront—to launch a new phase of the #JinJiyanAzadi revolution. We declare our readiness to help initiate it. We believe that transitioning to a Democratic Republic of Iran requires shifting perspectives and departing from power-seeking, nationalism, patriarchy, and centralism. [...] We call on all the people of Iran, especially those in Kurdistan, to organize within democratic, popular structures. Through complete solidarity, they can minimize the destructive impact of war on each other».

Mes amis, ça chante fort chez certains rabbins en ce moment à propos de l’Iran. Je ne sais pas ce qu’ils boivent, mais ça doit être sacrément fort !
Ils sont en extase à l’idée que l’Amérique va intervenir, que l’Iran sera détruit, et que selon leur prophétie le Machiah apparaîtra une fois l’Iran tombé des mains de Edom (l'occident).
Toute cette guerre contre l’Iran n’a rien à voir avec le nucléaire ou une prétendue menace militaire.
C’est entièrement motivé par un délire messianique : ils attendent un effondrement de l’Iran pour « accélérer » la venue de leur Messie.
Quant au Premier ministre, ce Polonais devenu fanatique, il semble totalement obsédé par ces récits religieux au point d’en faire une boussole stratégique. C’est inquiétant.

I tried testing a movie from my home server in plex through firefox and repeatedly got this message, even after reloading.
I knew that they had paywalled the apps on mobile and streaming from outside the network but now they have also blocked watching your own movies through your own hardware.
I do get the point that making software should be able to sustain people but I dont see the move of plex as a fair thing to do. Yes, they have made great software but taking your home server hostage feels like the wrong move.
Even a pop up that says "we need you to donate please" would have been fine. make it pop up before every movie, play donation ads before any movie but straight up disabling the app is kinda cruel.
Anyway, i have switched to jellyfin and it is insanely good. please give it a try. you can run it alongside plex with not issues (at least i had none) and compare the two.
In any case, good luck. Let me know if you need help.

I started down the Jellyfin path after they made that announcement. It's super easy to install, and in many ways the UI is nicer than Plex. But I ran into challenges getting my server safely accessible for users outside my LAN. And I haven't had the time to look into that further.
Would be great if there was a clean, easy way to set up the webserver portion so it's as easy to share content entirely as Plex. But I get they are a volunteer project with a lot on their plate.
