#Iran medics fear 'another Gaza' as Israeli strikes overwhelm hospitals
Doctors and nurses in Tehran warn of a looming health system collapse under bombing and years of crippling US sanctions
from #MiddleEastEye By MEE correspondent in Tehran Published date: 18 June 2025 15:28 BST
"Even as thousands of #Iranians attempt to flee the capital #Tehran in the wake of #Israel's bombardment, many of those working in essential services have been forced to remain.
Healthcare workers, working in a sector already battered by years of #US sanctions, face a particular struggle to cope with the hundreds being killed and wounded on a daily basis.
Golnaz, a 34-year-old woman living in Tehran with her husband Keyvan, dreads the sound of explosions getting closer and closer.
"There’s barely an hour without an explosion nearby. Every time, I look at my husband and ask, 'do you think we’ll survive this?'" she told #MEE."

just because your good at computer stuff doesn't mean that you actually understand the science of computing, considering must so called 'engineers' of various sub fields are working at a fairly high level i.e. through an interface gui,cli, coding language/libraries etc. that largely obscures what is actually happening, even people who work on a lower level, don't actually know whta the fuck going on.
Computer proficiency definitely does not mean one understands social science, politics, economics etc. or even natural science really, and software development is largely divorced from the scientific method, a lot of times the trail and error, debugger heavy style of programming that is encouraged by many workflows ( git, fancy ide's) it basically allows you to throw a bunch of code at the wall until it sticks, with little understanding of what is actually happening.
But this doesn't stop computer touchers from thinking they're smarter than everyone else and falling into common, what we can call "cosmic pitfall" of falling into a cult or believe in whacked out psuedo-science because they aren't actually good at critical thinking or people skills, ignorant of the humanities, the history of philosophy and religion etc. So being from very privileged backgrounds, cosmic schmucks, they think they are superior and are the first to 'discover' ideas that were first written down thousands of years ago, and so think they are the only one's who can save the world, because they're so smart.
reality is, the real hackers who have a solid revolutionary consciousness (the real and good anonymous) are a slim minority, the computer science world is inherently conservative and bourgeois, this sense of intellectual superiority is cultivated by big corporations to keep their little 'engineers' from unionizing. And because they have so much free time in between writing scripts (if even) and clicking buttons scrolling around on the internet arguing on forums, they have a tendency to get a little kooky.
I think this whole dynamic is what has prevented free software from ever really being revolutionary, because the gnu ethos presents itself as basically an alternative non-profit bureaucracy for the bourgeois managers to finance in an indirect way, there's never any 'sieze the means' in open source, it's basically a lifestyle choice like veganism. And so with 2600 or DefCon they've totally been hallowed about by a mercenary 'white hat' perspective, if not open reaction ( ycombinor, suckless ) or whacked out psuedo left cults ( stallmanism, zizianism )
tl;dr; i'm just saying programmers are a bourgeified section of the working class are hopped up on false conciousness and don't know shit about politics because half of them elected to not even take a humanities , come at me when you have a union oh super geniuses
you'd think with tens of thousands of layoffs in the tech industry there'd be all these hackers doing anti-capitalist cyber attacks, nope, better pad that resume chump
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Amir Mousavi, issued a stern warning to settlers in the occupied territories, particularly the cities of Jaffa (Tel Aviv) and Haifa.
Crowdsourcing recommendations: office chairs that don't break the bank and are *actually comfortable* (and by this I mean very well padded and "soft" feeling - if I could work from a car seat, I would, to frame this whole discussion).
Absolute #1 priority above literally anything else is that the seat, where my butt goes, is non-mesh, well-cushioned, feels comfy, and is durable. If it flattens out in a month and I'm back to sitting on the plywood under the foam, it's useless! (most non-mesh office chairs I've used sadly turn out like this in about a month, but I also dislike mesh's feel on the skin soooooo). Second priority, related to this, is no hard plastic (or wood, or metal, or whatever) digging into me in high-touch places (which, itself, rules out most mesh chairs anyway, I find, they all go ham on hard plastic).
Definitely prefer high-back chairs with no mesh anywhere (I believe this is called "executive chair"?), head/neck rests are generally speaking preferred but not strictly required. Rolling ability optional but useful. Rocking ability optional but nice?

#Palestine / Israel expands censorship enforcement against missile strike documentation
The “unauthorized” footage of the Iranian ballistic missile strike on Bazan factories in #Haifa - which killed three workers - prompted the crackdown. The new order enables the prosecution of citizens and media for sharing unauthorized footage of missile impacts, drone strikes, and military installations. Violators face prosecution for “severe harm to state security” with authorities vowing swift action against those “assisting enemies.“
Presumably, these types of photos, which make it evident to the Israelis that the non-existent victory over a non-existent axis of evil and a non-existent nuclear threat was at their expense and completely disregarded their safety.
#Ynet’s homepage is regularly adorned with gleeful chauvinism, racism and Islamophobia. Yesterday they celebrated #Iran’s diminished capabilities as a result of the “exceptional” work of the Israeli Air Force. However, today’s news headlines shift back to the price payed by Israel’s home front.
Headline: 129 injured in heavy barrage: 89 in Gush Dan, 40 in Be’er Sheva
Magen David Adom updated that 129 people were injured as a result of this morning’s heavy barrage from Iran: 89 in Gush Dan, where there were direct hits in #Holon and Ramat Gan, and 40 in Be’er Sheva - where #Soroka Hospital was hit.
Of the 89 injured in Gush Dan, three were seriously injured, two moderately injured, 40 lightly injured from shrapnel and blast waves, 31 were injured on their way to protected areas, and 13 are defined as anxiety casualties. They were evacuated to Sheba Tel Hashomer, Schneider, Beilinson, Ichilov, Assaf Harofeh, Wolfson, Meir, Ma’ayanei Hayeshua, Assuta Ashdod, and Barzilai hospitals.
All those injured in Be’er Sheva are in light condition.
Ynet updated the count to over 200 injured, while reporting that [token "defence minister"] Katz admits Israel's aim is to assassinate Khamenei, which he labels "modern day Hitler."
Spot the irony: Israel's Trolling Minister Katz accuses Iran's Khamenei of committing war crimes by "firing at hospitals and residential buildings in Israel," while simultaneously announcing plans to intensify attacks on the civilian population in Iran, all while Israel is has been and is still conducting extensive airstrikes on hospitals throughout occupied #Gaza Strip, systematically destroying medical infrastructure and killing patients, medical staff, and civilians sheltering in these facilities.
When Israelis are killed or injured, there are detailed news reports describing the human impact - the destroyed homes, the search for survivors, the families desperately looking for loved ones, the personal stories that make the tragedy real and relatable. The media coverage allows for mourning, memorialization, and public empathy.
Meanwhile, Palestinian casualties are often reduced to sterile numbers in news reports, if they're reported at all. The destruction of entire neighborhoods in Gaza, the families wiped out, the children killed - these stories rarely receive the same detailed, humanizing coverage that would allow readers to grasp the full scope of the tragedy or for Palestinians to have their grief recognized and witnessed by the world.
From a Haaretz report on the direct hit on an apartment building in Bat Yam:
[...] Just minutes after the impact, the building's facade spilled into the street – melted and burning, like after a volcanic eruption. In front of the facade stood charred cars that were crushed by the blast. Dust, smoke, water flowing everywhere, shattered glass and lost people made it clear that Jerusalem Street had suddenly become a disaster zone. "They found his phone with blood on it," one of the street residents told Haaretz as he tried to locate his friend. "I don't know where he is, I believe he was killed." Others stood before Home Front Command personnel who were maintaining handwritten lists of names, telling them who lived where, who was home and who wasn't. Hundreds of soldiers were deployed at the building site, searching for survivors.
The Israeli government claims to defend all its citizens, yet most Arab towns still lack bomb shelters. Protests, however, are muted – Palestinians in Israel live between unbearable realities: danger at home and the devastation in Gaza
The military estimates that Iran used a missile with a fragmenting warhead with additional munitions in this morning's barrage, following findings from the field.
[cont'd] Limited information in Israeli media about the Friday morning strike in Beer Sheva. None of the reports I've seen mention the proximity of #Microsoft's office.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that Microsoft's offices in Be'er Sheva were deliberately targeted due to their "close collaboration with the Israeli military."
In #Gaza, Microsoft's AI services are reportedly being used by the Israeli military in the creation of the infamous crude "kill lists".
Despite official denials, usage of Microsoft's AI has reportedly increased significantly, coinciding with intensified military operations and a rising civilian death toll.
The International Court of Justice's ongoing investigation into potential genocide has brought increased scrutiny to technology companies involved in Israel's military operations in Gaza.
#IBM’s punch card technology facilitated German atrocities during the #Holocaust, enabling precise targeting, logistical coordination, and detailed record-keeping of victims. Historian Edwin Black asserts, "without IBM’s machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards," the scale of the genocide would have been impossible.
[follow up] Israel expands military censorship to foreign media and social networks with new emergency order
Israeli Chief Military Censor issued an emergency order requiring all media outlets - Israeli and foreign - plus social media operators to seek prior approval before publishing missile impact locations. The order targets coverage of Iranian strikes and extends censorship rules to international networks and social platforms.
Police have already shut down broadcasts by #AP and #Reuters, claiming their footage was used by Al Jazeera. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said the order resulted from collaboration with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to "close holes" in coverage by foreign networks.
Legal experts question the order's enforceability, particularly for social media users and foreign outlets. Israel's military censorship reached record levels in 2024, with over 8,000 articles banned or partially censored - more than double previous peaks.
The Government Press Office initially issued a misleading statement suggesting much broader censorship powers than the order actually contains, later calling this an error.
[cont'd] Iran fires 23 missiles at Israel, 30 injured in Haifa direct hit
While Israeli media is reporting how successful Israel's air forces were at neutralizing launch sites, launch operators, and scientists, #Iran launched 23 missiles targeting areas across #Israel from north to south.
A direct hit in #Haifa injured 30 people, including a 16-year-old critically wounded by shrapnel and two others moderately injured. The strike damaged high-rise buildings, offices, and shops after hitting a parking garage.
In southern areas, interceptor debris caused significant damage to two houses but no casualties. Officials noted most injuries occurred among people not in protected spaces during alerts.
The EU sanctioned me and my media outlet for covering Palestine protests in Germany. It’s part of Europe’s growing authoritarianism and militarism, cloaked in language of fighting disinformation and defending democracy.

A z rzeczy pracowych: czy ktoś ma SPRAWDZONE internetowe źródła do gwary poznańskiej? Bo mam małe wyzwanie tłumaczeniowe i zamierzam nieoryginalnie zrobić to tak, jak już w tłumaczeniach było robione*.
*Czyli dialekt Kansai tłumaczyć na gwarę poznańską. A w sumie bardziej włączyć jej elementy, bo bohaterka mówi mieszanką standardowego japońskiego i Kansai-ben.
jako że nie znam się zupełnie, szukam czegoś, co ludzie mi potwierdzą, że jest wiarygodne, żeby nie zrobić wtopy 😅 ale najchętniej w stronę standardowy polski - poznański
Problem z takimi listami to chyba nie tyle rzetelność, co brak wskazania powszechności i częstości użycia. Część z tych słów znam i używam; o części nawet nie wiedziałem, że są regionalizmami; części raczej nie używam, ale bez problemu zrozumiem (bo np. babcia używała); część znam tylko pod nieco innymi formami; a części kompletnie nie znam i byłyby dla mnie zagwozdką. Trudno by było z samej takiej listy napisać dialogi komuś, kto miałby brzmieć autentycznie poznańsko.
@dos @wariat tylko hej, pamiętaj, że tu gwara poznańska nie ma być "gwarą poznańską" per se tylko "dialektem Kansai po polsku" (i to nawet nie czystym, tylko zmieszanym ze standardowym japońskim... Po polsku?), co mam powiedziane w narracji wprost dwa razy
@wariat No właśnie na to zwróciłem uwagę. Wrzucić wuchtę regionalizmów i brzmieć jak Blubry Starego Marycha nie jest bardzo trudno - ale ćpnąć właściwe słowa w odpowiednich momentach by zabrzmieć jak współczesny poznaniak trzeba już z głową. Częścią tych słów nadal niechcący zadziwiam ludzi, a części kompletnie nie rozumiem, choć nie wątpię, że w gwarze istnieją i były w użyciu.
@wariat W zasadzie to by po prostu uzyskać efekt gwarzenia to nie trzeba się tego trzymać i można nawet pomieszać różne gwary, ale jeśli koncepcja to "goda jak poznaniok" i ma wyjść autentycznie to bym się trochę pilnował by nie narojbrować ;)

The OEM vs. third-party debate for P&H crane parts hinges on your specific circumstances. OEM parts are ideal for critical systems, while third-party options offer savings and availability, particularly for older equipment.
Scheduled maintenance is essential for keeping cranes running smoothly, minimizing downtime, and ensuring safety. But when it's time to replace parts during these intervals, a key question arises: should you stick with OEM parts or consider third-party options?
For P&H crane operators, this decision is particularly important due to the equipment's complex engineering. Whether you're overseeing operations or performing repairs, the parts you choose impact performance and costs. Let's dive into the debate.
Why Maintenance Schedules Matter
P&H cranes follow servicing schedules based on operating hours, workload, and site conditions. Skipping these intervals can lead to hydraulic breakdowns, worn drivetrains, or structural damage. Regular maintenance prevents these issues by addressing wear before it escalates.
During servicing, though, the choice between OEM and third-party parts becomes a critical consideration.
OEM Parts: The Trusted Standard?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts come from the crane's original builder. For P&H crane parts, this ensures components are designed to the machine's exact specifications. Benefits include:
Perfect compatibility. No need for modifications or workarounds.
Reliable quality. OEM parts meet the crane's original performance standards.
Warranty assurance. Using OEM parts often preserves warranty coverage.
However, OEM parts can be expensive, and for older P&H cranes, they may be hard to source due to limited stock or supply chain disruptions.
Third-Party Parts: A Budget-Friendly Option?
Third-party parts, or aftermarket components, are made by independent manufacturers. They're generally more affordable and accessible, especially through a specialized crane parts supplier that carries parts for P&H and other brands.
Potential risks to consider:
Inconsistent quality. Some aftermarket parts are excellent; others may fall short.
Fit challenges. Slight variations can lead to installation issues.
Limited OEM support. You may depend on the supplier for technical guidance.
Despite these concerns, many operations use third-party parts effectively for routine components like filters, seals, or hydraulic hoses, especially when sourced from a reputable crane parts supplier.
P&H Crane Parts: Balancing Quality and Availability
P&H cranes are built for tough jobs, but their intricate systems require precise components. For critical parts like slew gears, hydraulic pumps, or control systems, many owners opt for OEM P&H crane parts to ensure safety and performance.
For older P&H models, however, OEM parts can be scarce. Third-party crane parts suppliers step in, offering aftermarket solutions designed for legacy cranes. Some suppliers even produce reverse-engineered P&H crane parts that rival OEM standards, providing a cost-effective alternative.
Making an Informed Choice
Here's a straightforward approach to choosing parts:
Go with OEM parts when: - Your crane is still under warranty. - You're replacing high-risk components like boom assemblies or safety systems. - You've had issues with third-party parts in the past.
Consider third-party parts when: - You're maintaining an older P&H crane with limited OEM support. - The part is non-critical, like gaskets, belts, or wear strips. - Your crane parts supplier has a strong reputation for quality and reliability.
The Importance of Skilled Installation
Whether you choose OEM or third-party P&H crane parts, proper installation is crucial. A poorly installed part can fail quickly, regardless of its quality. Use technicians with experience servicing P&H cranes, preferably those familiar with your model.
Document all maintenance thoroughly—parts used, service dates, and operating hours. This helps with compliance and spotting early warning signs of trouble.
Closing Thoughts
The OEM vs. third-party debate for P&H crane parts hinges on your specific circumstances. OEM parts are ideal for critical systems, while third-party options offer savings and availability, particularly for older equipment.
Most P&H owners benefit from a hybrid strategy: OEM for high-stakes components and a trusted crane parts supplier for routine parts. Whatever you choose, never skip scheduled servicing—it's the foundation of a reliable crane.

Verified apps are an implicit guarantee that this thing is as the developer intended. What app verification isn't, is a guarantee that the package you're downloading is safe, or has no security problems.
If the repo has been hacked, if one of the maintainers for the app is malicious, then the official package will also contain that code.
The security argument will often be used to push people towards distro packages instead of flatpaks and snaps, but this is also not really how things work.
The general view of distro packages is that they can be safer, because there's a trusted maintainer that will create the package, and thus can detect any unwanted change, backdoor, or problem, and prevent you from getting the infected or buggy version of the package. This is not really the case though.
Log4J, the recent SSH vulnerability, the XZ backdoor, and basically every CVE ever discovered points to the fact that maintainers DO NOT do security reviews on most packages they build. That's not what is expected of them either. A lot of maintainers aren't developers and couldn't conduct these audits in the first place.
Another big misconception is around the sandbox for Flatpaks and snaps. A sandbox basically just means that the app you're running has a system of permissions that limits what the app can do, and how it can interact with the system. It CAN be more secure than not having a sandbox, but it doesn't mean it IS always more secure.
Another example of the sandbox not doing anything to protect the user is with the recent scam crypto apps on the snap store: these WERE sandboxed, because they scammed you through a web view, a website basically.
Another common misconception around packages is how dependencies work. You'll often read that distro packages use the system dependencies, and thus use less disk space, and are more secure, because you know that the library the app relies upon is updated by your distro, compared to a flatpak, snap or AppImage, where the dev might have bundled a dependency on their own, and never bothered to update it.
First, you CAN check which versions of dependencies the package comes with. A flatpak is open, you can see how it's built. Second, distro packages aren't always up to date either: just because it's a shared library doesn't mean it has all the latest security fixes.
This example will be clearer: MariaDB got a security update in 2021 in November. While Arch and Artix updated things the same day, Debian took 3 months to apply it, and Alpine took 4. Same goes for fixed linux kernel versions: when your distro is locked to a specific kernel version, it's been factually proven that this version becomes more and more buggy and vulnerable over time, as maintainers simply don't apply every fix, and don't backport everything. For example, the current RHEL 8.8 kernel had more then 4500 bugs open that have fixes in later kernel releases.
The older a Linux vendor kernel gets, the more unfixed bugs and security vulnerabilities it is likely to have. New research by CIQ engineers Ronnie Sahlberg, Jonathan Maple, and Jeremy Allison shows…
