Still going huh? I'm processing the shock of being so much older than seems reasonable considering the circumstances. Time perception has been flowing fast and slow at the same time.
Fool me three times, there’s a little bit of shame to go around here. Admittedly, maybe I should have caught on to your character by now, but you know, you’re the one doing the fooling. This doesn’t have to be a black-and-white situation.
Fool me four times, I’m big enough to admit that the shame is leaning back towards me. After three times, I really should have been a little more skeptical. You’ve got me there.
Fool me five times, shame is entirely on you again. The only explanation for you fooling me five separate times is that you had some really clever trick that I couldn’t possibly be expected to figure out. Obviously, I don’t know what it was, but it must have been so good, and you should definitely have known better.
Fool me six times, and maybe who gets the shame just isn’t the right framework to think about this anymore. The two of us have a relationship at this point, and it’s clearly dysfunctional. Maybe we should stop trying to figure out who’s to blame and start working on how we can make things better.
Fool me seven times, and you’re not exactly showing me you’re as dedicated to doing the work of improving this relationship as I am.
Fool me eight times and I’ll be like, “Hey, could you maybe stop that?” And then you’ll be like, “Oh, yeah, I’ll stop. I didn’t realize it was bothering you so much.” And I’ll go, “Wait, really?” and you’ll be like “Yeah, totally. Shame on me,” and anyway, that’s a ninth time right there.
Fool me ten times and I’ll be like, “Ohhhhhhhh, you were just fooling me again!” and you’ll be like, “Yeah, obviously. That cannot be a surprise to you at this point.”
Fool me eleven times and you’re probably gonna start wondering if there’s something else going on here. Am I only pretending to be fooled by you? Do I have a secret plan that I’m unfolding underneath your very nose? Are you actually the one being fooled?
Fool me twelve times and, no, it’s definitely not some big plan. I really am getting fooled every time.
Fool me thirteen times, and you start to wonder why you even bother. Are you getting something from continuing to fool me over and over again, or is it just a habit now? Could it maybe be… Love?
Fool me fifteen times and you hope it isn’t love, because it’s getting to be a chore. Has it even been just fifteen times? Or did you lose count?
Fool me sixteen times and you start getting lazy with it. You just say stuff like, “Hey, I’m definitely not about to go to the bathroom,” right before you go to the bathroom. Does that even count? But then I’m like, “HOLY COW, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” and yeah, apparently it does.
Fool me seventeen times and I’m like, “Wait a second…. You’re not trying to fool me, are you?” And for a moment, you think I’ve caught you, and it’s finally over. But then, I’m like, “No, that’s messed up. You wouldn’t do that to me a seventeenth time.” It’s never over.
Fool me eighteen times and something is wrong, with me and maybe also with you. A person shouldn’t be fooled this many times. That’s simply too much shame. This must be destiny. This must be a trap.
Fool me nineteen times, because you can’t escape from it any more than I can. You can’t stop fooling me just as I can’t stop being fooled. You are caught in a web of lies, and you are the one spinning them.
Fool me twenty times and you feel yourself unraveling. This is your Hell. Your shame. I will never release you. I will never see through your lies. And you will never stop lying.
SARS-CoV 2 was discovered at the end of 2019. That's why it's called "COVID 19" not "COVID 20" And it spread worldwide in January of 2020. So March has nothing to do with its birthday.
I both love and hate that you keep updating it. The fact you've kept it going is incredible, and it's still funny, but also a steady reminder that we live in the worst timeline 😩

I'll try to be quick but I apologise first as I am pretty new to security stuff and my questions might be obvious to the more experts.
I have a VPS (hetzner) set up with docker, caddy for the reverse proxy, and authentik as the only login method for a couple of services (hedgedoc and forgejo). Since most of these has to be available and accessible on the internet, I also setup crowdsec and built caddy with the relevant bouncer. This allows crowdsec to inspect the caddy logs for all the services I am serving through it and act accordingly. Edit: all the services are in docker containers.
So far, so good. However, I also saw that crowdsec can directly monitor container logs with the docker integration or through container labels. Also, I saw a couple of collections on crowdsec hub specifically for Authentik and Gitea.
I feel I am missing something so my question are:
Would it be useful to monitor container logs given my setup or would it be redundant?
Should I add the app-specific collections, or would docker logs monitoring be enough?

And I can't stop noticing all the damn product placements for Sony products! Frankly they're distracting.

As expected, amid the war with #Iran, settler violence and criminal activity are escalating. Northeast of #Ramallah, #settlers are accelerating their land grabs through the establishment of new outposts, roadblocks, arson attacks on fields, and the uprooting of trees - all under the protection of the army and in line with official government policy. Land is being looted in broad daylight, while the state turns a blind eye.
After settlers, with the help of the army, succeeded in expelling most of the Palestinian shepherd communities and clusters from the east and northeast of Ramallah, in the last few days they have accelerated the seizure of agricultural land belonging to the residents of the villages of Al Mughair and Duma all while attention is focused on the events with Iran.
Over the past two weeks, two new outposts have been established at the entrances to the villages of Al Mughair and Duma. In Al Mughair, the outpost was set up along the eastern access road, which the army blocked immediately after the outbreak of the war. In Duma, the new outpost now controls the village's only remaining access road, after the settlers and the army blocked the other two. Back in July 2023, we published a post about a checkpoint that was placed east of the village of Al Mughair, warning that its purpose was to prevent landowners from accessing their lands that are located east of the village - paving the way for settlers to seize them. Unfortunately, we were right. Link to the post from July 2023 is in the comments.
As far as we understand, these two new outposts are essentially extensions of the main outpost established in the area about a decade ago inside an abandoned military base, known as "Malachei Hashalom". This outpost is one out of ten outposts that the racist and corrupt Israeli government decided to "legalize" on February 12, 2023. Link to the government decision in the comments. The outpost of Malachei Hashalom serves as an eastern extension of the settlement of Shiloh and its violent outposts. Through a network of outposts that were established since the late 1990s, settlers have succeeded in taking control over nearly the entire area between Shiloh and the Jordan Valley. Now, they are working to consolidate their grip towards the north and the south along the Alon Road, while the army, under the authority of the Apartheid Central Command Major General Avi Blot, allows them to run wild.
About a week ago, it was reported that the army had declared 800 dunams in the area surrounding the outpost of Malachei Hashalom as "state land". However, we have yet to see the official declaration and the accompanying map, nor have we found any signage on the ground, which is the usual procedure in such cases. What we did receive, however, is an unusual document in Arabic, unlike anything we have seen before. Signed over two months ago on April 9, 2025, the document announces an intention to hold a “hearing" prior to either declaring roughly 825 dunams of land or registering it in the land registry as "state land" . The attached map shows that the targeted area is surrounding the outpost of Malachei Hashalom. Link to the document is in the comments.
Meanwhile, settlers in the area are taking over agricultural land along the Alon Road. The goal is to establish a chain of outposts and agricultural land seizures stretching between the outpost of Malachei Hashalom and the isolated and notoriously violent settlement of Kochav Hashahar. East of the village of Al Mughair, you can witness large swaths of farmland that have been set ablaze by settlers in order to block Palestinians from accessing their land. In recent days, an olive grove with dozens of trees northeast of the village of Al Mughair was uprooted. Along the Alon Road, several spots already show signs of settlers plowing, clearing, and cultivating the land.
This is what looting in broad daylight looks like under the racist and corrupt government and the most powerful army in the Middle East.

»Ella Greenberg: „Ich schließe mich keiner israelischen Armee an, die Genozid begeht“ Die Israelin Ella Keidar Greenberg ist 18, trans, links – und verweigert den Kriegsdienst. Dafür saß sie zuletzt in einem Militärgefängnis ein. Wie es ihr dabei erging und wie das israelische Militär mit trans Soldatinnen umgeht« #Israel #kriegsdienstverweigerung #Genozid #Gaza freitag.de/autoren/hanno-hauen… (Paywall)
»Kriegsdienstverweigerung wird weithin nicht nur als Gesetzesbruch, sondern auch als moralischer Verrat betrachtet. Ella Keidar Greenberg gehört zu den sehr wenigen jungen Menschen in Israel, die sich dem öffentlich widersetzen. Am 19. März diesen Jahres erschien sie in einem Rekrutierungszentrum bei Tel Aviv – und erklärte vor laufender Kamera ihre Weigerung, Israels Armee beizutreten. Wenig später wurde sie verhaftet und in ein Militärgefängnis gebracht.«
» „Wenn unsere Enkelkinder eines Tages fragen, was wir während dem Genozid in Gaza getan haben, weiß ich, was ich antworten werde“, sagte Greenberg vor ihrer Verhaftung. „Ich habe verweigert.“«
»Prinzipiell ist die Antwort einfach: Es findet ein Genozid statt – man schließt sich keiner Armee an, die einen Genozid begeht.«
It makes a great argument. I think the term values is fraught, because it carries the implicit meaning of “good.” But they no one is going to resolve the terminology in one video.

🇵🇸 #genocide à #gaza : pendant qu’Israël attaque l’Iran, les massacres se poursuivent
Alors que le début du conflit entre #Israel et l’#Iran concentre l’attention publique, l’Etat sioniste continue d'orchestrer la famine et les massacres des Palestiniens.
Si le début du conflit par tirs interposés entre Israël et l'Iran a catalysé l'attention publique et médiatique ces derniers jours, le génocide des palestiniens se poursuit dans la bande de Gaza.
Der aktuelle Gesetzesentwurf zur erneuten Aussetzung des Familiennachzugs verletzt das grund- und menschenrechtlich garantierte Recht auf #Familie.
Zudem ist der Familiennachzug das Gegenteil illegaler #Migration: Denn wer seinen engsten Angehörigen legal nachfolgen darf, wird nicht gezwungen, über gefährliche Fluchtrouten nach Deutschland zu kommen.

We haven't started yet and the room is still empty, but I'm hoping we'll discuss how #Windows is abused to dominate other markets, by aggressively nudging users to #Edge, #Xbox, #OneDrive, #ChatGPT, etc.
The "regulatory dialogue" with the Commission, according to #Linkedin's competition director, was a way for the company to "mature and progress in our DMA journey."
It's not a "journey", it's a law that creates legal obligations and prohibitions for the company. Get over it and get it down already. 😠
After a lengthy statement by the #Linkedin rep, read out from paper with a machine-like voice, first questions from the audience:
Consumer org @beuc wants to know whether Linkedin's A/B testing for compliance solutions have been neutral and if the test results will be published. Super important for compliance #transparency!
Again, Linkedin refuses to share actual data of how users interact with consent screens, only speaking of "non-minimal numbers" of European users who opted out.
So funny how the #Windows lawyer starts off by dissing competitor #Apple by highlighting how Windows has always been an open platform where users can install apps from wherever they want without having to ask for permission 🔥
Haha this conversation with #Windows lawyers is so wild I don't even find time to post here about it.
So, I asked them how it's legal under the #DMA's Art 5(2) data cross-use prohibition to automatically sign up Windows users with #OneDrive and thereby sharing my personal data (login credentials) with the service.
The lawyers confirmed that this is what they do and argued strangely this was legal because "there are many ways to sign in to Windows". Local accounts anyone? 🤥

ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot’s first mission to the International Space Station now has a name: εpsilon. The mission name and patch were announced today at the Paris Air Show by ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Sophie Adenot, who joined remotely from the United States, where she is training for her spaceflight.
Sophie Adenot is one of the five astronauts selected from ESA’s most recent astronaut class of 2022. Following the successful completion of their basic training in spring 2024, Josef Aschbacher announced during the Space Council in Brussels that Sophie and fellow graduate Raphaël Liégois had been assigned their first missions to the International Space Station, currently planned for 2026.
The εpsilon name and patch reflect the power of small, yet impactful contributions and how multiple parts unite to create a whole. In mathematics, “ε” represents something small. In the extensive collaborative effort of space exploration, involving thousands of participants, all roles, including the astronaut's role, stay small yet meaningful.
During her εpsilon mission, Sophie will perform numerous scientific experiments, many of them European, conduct medical research, support Earth observation and contribute to operations and maintenance aboard the International Space Station.

»The number of malnourished children in the Gaza Strip is rising at an alarming rate, with 5,119 children between 6 months and 5 years admitted for treatment for acute malnutrition in May alone.
Acc. to data received from the UNICEF-supported nutrition centres across the Gaza Strip, this represents a nearly 50% increase from the 3,444 children admitted in April 2025 and a 150% increase from February when a ceasefire was in effect and aid was entering the Gaza Strip in significant quantities.«
For Lior Sternfeld, a historian of modern Iran, Israel's regime change fantasies ignore realities inside the Islamic Republic and risk repeating historic mistakes.
"They were waiting for me when I got off the plane. Officer Martinez intercepted me before I entered primary processing and took me immediately into an interrogation room in the back, where he took my phone and demanded my passcode. When I refused, I was told I would be immediately sent back home if I did not comply. I should have taken that deal and opted for the quick deportation. But in that moment, dazed from my fourteen-hour flight, I believed C.B.P. would let me into the U.S. once they realized they were dealing with a middling writer from regional Australia. So I complied.
Then began the first “interview.” The questions focussed almost entirely on my reporting about the Columbia student protests. From 2022 to 2024, I attended Columbia for an M.F.A. program, on a student visa, and when the encampment began in April of last year I began publishing daily missives to my Substack, a blog that virtually no one (except, apparently, the U.S. government) seemed to read. To Officer Martinez, the pieces were highly concerning. He asked me what I thought about “it all,” meaning the conflict on campus, as well as the conflict between Israel and Hamas. He asked my opinion of Israel, of Hamas, of the student protesters. He asked if I was friends with any Jews. He asked for my views on a one- versus a two-state solution. He asked who was at fault: Israel or Palestine. He asked what Israel should do differently. (The Department of Homeland Security, which governs the C.B.P., claims that any allegations that I’d been arrested for political beliefs are false.)"

My first paid software development job was on accessibility software. I remember visiting a user to help set up our code, and the sheer joy he had at being able to communicate more quickly than he had been able to for years.
Seeing the effort put into improving modern Linux accessibility is heartwarming. There's been almost 20 years of almost nobody caring. It's important. It's worthwhile.
Say thank you to the people doing that work. Stop amplifying the people saying that work isn't happening.
