Quite a luxury that… being able to flee the bombs. A luxury the people being slaughtered by israel in the genocide it is commiting in Gaza don’t have.

So please excuse my very fucking small violin.

ULKOPUOLISET – yhteinen blokki tasa-arvon politiikalle Helsinki Pridessa!
Kulkueesta suljettiin pois eduskunnan ulkopuoliset puolueet. Emme hyväksy tätä. Se rajaa queer-ihmisten ja muiden poliittista itseilmaisua.
Siksi marssimme Ulkopuolisina. Kutsumme mukaan kaikki, joille ei pelkkä karnevaali riitä. Teidät, joille Pride on protesti, tilaa olla näkyvästi queer, köyhä, vammainen, paperiton, työtön, radikaali.

Faille Linux critique - Vérifiez et patchez d'urgence!


Selon les chercheurs de Qualys, l’exploitation fonctionne sur toutes les versions non patchées, donc si vous n’avez pas fait de mise à jour de sécurité depuis le 17 juin 2025, vous êtes vulnérables.

Le plus chiant dans cette affaire, c’est pas tant la faille en elle-même (on en découvre tous les jours), mais c’est surtout sa simplicité de mise en exploitation. Linux est quand même un système ultra-sécurisé où chaque privilège est accordé au compte-gouttes, et là, pouf, 2 services par défaut suffisent pour transformer n’importe qui en administrateur système.

Over 24 hours later I have Diablo 3 running on Linux Mint with Heroic and proton-GE 10-4. The game is a bit laggy, but I am ok with that as I just need it for a lan weekend.

And oh boy was it a journey. Tried Lutris, Bottles, Steam. Nvidia driver issues shat my UI three times. Installed everything in the wrong drive first, then had the ghost of windows still left on the other.

Steam games run fine. And everything else runs just gorgeous.

Our old laptop works like new, it's amazing.

i went to a medical appointment the other day

the doctor asked if he could use AI during the appointment

i said 'no'

he said i was the only one who had refused

pro tip: if what you say to AI is shared with an insurance company, if what you said is not what you said because AI made stuff up, if what you said is revealed in a breach

guess what, your insurance company will use that against you forever and ever

just say no to AI

Heads up: if you have any elderly relatives or friends who are telling you they're all right, they don't really feel the heat these days... do whatever you have to do to get them cooled down anyway. It's affecting them whether they feel it or not.

My 87-year-old mother has just been rushed into hospital. She's overheated, because she doesn't feel the heat, so she hasn't been taking any precautions at all to keep the house cool. She'll be fine, because my sister found her in time; but without my sister around, things could have got very nasty.

Take care, folks.

Some solarpunk things to think about there, such as roof gardens...

Genesis Prize Chairman highlights immense role of Jewish scientists and doctors in combatting the pandemic: “A very proud moment for the entire Jewish community”

Wait... how does a veterinarian rise in the ranks like this?

The Committee also noted Dr. Bourla’s pride in his Jewish identity and heritage, commitment to Jewish values and support for the State of Israel.

Genesis Prize Chairman Stan Polovets said: “This is a very proud moment, not just for Dr. Bourla, but for the entire Jewish community. A people so small in number are having such an outsized impact on this global effort to save lives.”

Human-like object concept representations emerge naturally in multimodal large language models. Embeddings showed human-like semantic clustering and interpretable dimensions.

Strong alignment with neural patterns (e.g., fusiform face area, parahippocampal cortex) reveals that models share fundamental similarities that reflect key aspects of human conceptual knowledge.

I have a zero turn radius lawnmower. So today I cut the grass in spirals. Started in a section spun in place and worked my way out. It was fun but not very efficient. I had to go back and mow all the triangles between the spirals. My BIL came by to check on his garden. "You cut your lawn in circles?, he asked. I made my best bewildered look and asked "doesn't everybody?" He just shook his head and looked disgusted, like I had committed some terrible immorality. It amused me.

Mulling something over this morning

I'm wondering what skills it would be desirable for *individuals* to know, or maybe just "have that skillset in an individual household - vs. knowing someone in your community that can do it.

1) I think it's desirable to be able to cook a basic meal. I don't think it's necessary to be able to, say, bake bread or pull together a full-on feast for 10 people, but that would be a good thing to have someone in your community who *is* able to.

2) Mending clothes - I think it's desirable to be able to mend a hole in a sweater. I don't think it's necessary to be able to knit a sweater, but it would be good to know someone who can.

3) Basic DIY - eg. wiring a plug, unblocking a sink. I'm not talking plastering a wall - again, it would be good to know someone who can.

4) Bike/car/etc maintenance - checking your derailleur, tyres; oil/water/coolant checking etc

I'm sort of thinking - there are things one can do to a basic level, which would probably be good for everyone to have at least a basic understanding of.

Then there are things which it would be good to know someone who is expert level in them, who you can call on.

Any thoughts?

I'm wondering what skill gaps I have that I'm missing and can possibly fill in; as well as wondering what I could probably do with finding someone who is skilled in X task that is realistically beyond me.

(Very much open to discussion/challenge on what I've already written, this is just musing at this point)

Caveats and clarity - might get edited later:

"Desirable" rather than "necessary", because not everyone is capable of doing these. I hope I don't need to explain that further.

"individual" or "household" - as in, you don't need to call someone for help on this. Sure, you might need to wait for someone to get home, but that's it.

My son (22) has just completed BSc "Cybercrime and IT Security" at SETU (Carlow). He doesn't have his final results yet but should get a decent honours grade.

Edit: He got a 2.1

He also has a bit of relevant work experience from a couple of placements.

He's in Ireland and would ideally like a post that's mainly WFH and full-time.

If anyone knows of any suitable vacancies or can suggest places he can punt his CV to, please let me know. Obviously he'll be exploring LinkedIn and the usual recruitment sites.

Boosts appreciated.

The Endless Trial Georges Abdallah


“Gentlemen, I stand before you simply to ask that you wash your hands, stained with our blood and the blood of our children, before claiming the right to judge us. Whoever tramples on the blood of 25,000 martyrs, killed during the imperialist-Zionist invasion of Lebanon in 1982, is nothing less than a direct accomplice of Reagan and Begin in their war to annihilate our people. Twenty-five thousand martyrs in three months, all for your so-called peace. Forty-five thousand wounded, all for your idea of justice. For ninety days, Beirut became a testing ground for U.S.-Israeli weapons. And yet, in your eyes, Reagan’s administration is the victim and the plaintiff. None of this is surprising, except, perhaps, to those still deluded enough to believe there’s a difference between imperial France and its notion of justice.”

— Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, Paris, February 23, 1987

In Discipline and Punish, Michel Foucault begins with the 1757 execution of Robert-François Damiens as a starting point for tracing the transformation of punishment from public physical torture to disciplinary surveillance. Damiens’ body was torn apart with red-hot pincers, his wounds filled with molten lead and sulfur before he was dismembered and burned. This was not merely a criminal punishment; it was a political ritual meant to reaffirm the king’s authority by instilling terror in the collective body.

Yet Foucault overlooks the colonial dimension of these disciplinary systems. While France transitioned to “reforming” modern prisons at home, it deployed the same techniques with even greater brutality in its colonies. In the detention centers of Algeria and Guiana, and the prisons of Vietnam, Syria, and Lebanon. The case of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah most starkly reveals this continuity, where the colonized body becomes a site of disciplinary and racial experimentation.

On June 19, 2025, the French Court of Appeals is scheduled to review the release request of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, who has been held hostage in French prisons for 41 years without a fair trial or legal justification. Abdallah has been imprisoned since October 1984, despite a court ruling granting his release. His struggle has now stretched across four decades. From a public school teacher in the northern Lebanese village of Akroum, he became a global symbol of struggle. His journey began during the 1978 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, where he was wounded in battle. He soon after joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Lebanese Communist Party. Driven by PFLP’s slogan “Behind the enemy everywhere,” he chose to take the struggle into the heart of the empire backing the Zionist entity.

To fully understand Georges Abdallah’s case as the longest-held political prisoner in Europe, one must go beyond his 1984 arrest. Defined by his legendary resilience in the face of imperialist violence in its most brutal forms inside prisons, Abdallah’s defiance also manifests through his unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners’ movement. Over the years, he has launched several hunger strikes in support of their collective actions: in February 2012, August 2016, April 2017, and most recently, October 2022. He has also sent numerous solidarity letters, most notably to Ahmad Saadat, Secretary-General of the PFLP, and to the martyred commander Walid Daqqa, whose death struck Abdallah deeply, despite the geographic distance and the absence of any organized prisoner movement inside Lannemezan Prison in southwest France.

In his letters, Georges Abdallah addresses a wide range of grassroots and protest movements, feeding them with intellectual and moral support. During the Arab uprisings, he voiced solidarity with protesters across the region, most notably in a message to the Lebanese people during the October 2019 revolution. To him, the uprising was a revolt against impoverishment and corruption, a rejection of the banking system’s dictates and the IMF’s prescriptions, and a stand against the violence of imperialist economic policies. During the ongoing al-Aqsa Flood battle, Abdallah issued multiple messages to the people of Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. To follow his case as a symbol of political steadfastness now requires a timeline, not for simplification, but to begin to grasp the depth and continuity of his journey.

Following in the footsteps of Wadie Haddad


Wadie Haddad, the historical leader of external operations in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), can be seen as the foundational figure behind the theoretical and practical framework that Georges Abdallah would later adopt. In 1968, Haddad established the External Operations branch, known for its high-profile international operations; the creation of the Revolution Airport in Jordan; drawing in revolutionaries from global movements, among them, the Japanese Red Army, Nicaraguan fighter Patrick Arguello, and Venezuelan militant Carlos.

At the core of Haddad’s doctrine was a rejection of transforming the Palestinian armed revolution into conventional urban warfare, as happened in Amman. Instead, he favored the establishment of training centers in Yemen and Iraq and emphasized the importance of international operations. The defeat of this doctrine was not solely due to Zionist attacks and assassinations, but also due to internal Palestinian rifts and the failure to further develop the model. It was instead replaced with an exclusive focus on guerrilla warfare tactics and the formation of urban militias.

This article cannot fully explore the complexities of revolutionary combat theory, but the brutal assaults on guerrilla bases in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank, and the geopolitical constraints during al-Aqsa Flood, highlight the cost of abandoning transnational revolutionary movements capable of striking imperial powers in their own capitals. Throughout the current war, even as the US, UK, and Germany have launched direct military operations against resistance forces in Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen, resistance beyond the region has remained sporadic and individual, such as the operation carried out by Elias Rodríguez in May.

Regarding the continued imprisonment of Georges Abdallah as a political prisoner, journalist Ghassan Charbel notes in Secrets of the Black Box that no definitive link has ever been established between Abdallah and the Lebanese Revolutionary Armed Factions, which he was accused of leading as part of the External Operations unit. Charbel emphasizes that, despite the chaos of the Lebanese Civil War and the complexities of the European environment in which the group operated, it remained notably resistant to infiltration.

Anis al-Naqqash adds that his own case was grouped with Abdallah’s, even though no concrete connection existed between the two. He recalls meeting Georges Abdallah during their shared time at Moulin Prison in France, where they engaged in extensive political and ideological discussions about Lebanon and the resistance movement. Al-Naqqash insists that Abdallah’s life sentence was deeply unjust, not only because the assassinations he was accused of were never conclusively linked to him, but also because a prior agreement between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Algeria with France to cease operations by the Lebanese Revolutionary Armed Factions had already been reached before Abdallah’s arrest. This strongly suggests that the ongoing imprisonment is less about legal grounds and more a result of political pressure and a punitive response to his unwavering ideological convictions.

“Knowing that you’ve gathered today, just beyond the barbed wire and watchtowers, only meters from my cell, fills me with strength and warms my heart.”

— Georges Abdallah, October 2024

The case of Lebanese prisoner Georges Ibrahim Abdallah stands as an extension of France’s colonial legacy, where punishment is weaponized as a tool of domination. Refusing to release him while turning his 41-year imprisonment into a slow execution embodies the shift from public bodily torture to contemporary methods of annihilation. Through the use of time, imprisonment becomes a systematic dismantling of the human self, depriving both body and consciousness of freedom.

France’s refusal to implement the 2013 release order issued by its own Court of Cassation under US and Israeli pressure—reveals how colonial hegemony operates as a panoptic system, reproducing control and violence under the guise of legality. Through legal and media discourse, labeling the prisoner a “terrorist” strips him of rights and personhood, echoing the very logic of colonial domination.
