#Luxembourg : Parliament rejects call for #Covid-19 #vaccine inquiry
23/04/2025
He ben non, il n'y aura pas non plus de commission d’enquête luxembourgeoise, sûrement que ça n'en vaut pas la peine, n'est-ce pas.....c'est ballot, c'est trop compliqué, et après tout. la composition exacte de ce qu'on a injecté quasi de force à des centaines de millions d'européens, ce n'est pas bien grave....
Five years after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Luxembourg’s parliament debated a public petition on Wednesday calling for the establishment of an independent multidisciplinary commission to examine the political, scientific, statistical, and health-related aspects of the country’s covid-19 response, including the effects of vaccines.The petition, submitted by French national Amar #Goudjil, gathered 4,986 valid signatures (4,884 electronically and 102 on paper), surpassing the threshold required for a public debate under the previous petition regime.
Despite the interest generated, MPs ultimately decided not to establish a commission of inquiry. Lawmakers argued that investigating vaccines produced outside of Luxembourg exceeds the competencies of the national parliament.
“This goes beyond the competences of the Luxembourg parliament, and we are not equipped for this,” said Francine Closener (LSAP), president of the petitions committee. “The Parliament cannot set up a commission of inquiry into vaccines that were not produced in Luxembourg.”

Scripture Reading
Romans 10:8-10
The word is very near to you, it is on your lips and in your heart: the word, that is, of the faith we proclaim. If your lips confess that Jesus is Lord and if you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. By believing from the heart you are made righteous; by confessing with your lips you are saved.

Fascinating to see several people calling pedophile child rape a "moral panic". I was shocked when I saw that The Atlantic use that term. It became super obvious when I saw that the owner, Laurene Powell-Jobs, was friends with Maxwell.
Now the asshole Pruitt - "one of the 25 most influential people in the world" - used the exact same term in Wikipedia to describe the UK Islamic rape gangs 😡

Shredding my SSDs (NVMe) under linux?
Hey guys,
I want to shred/sanitize my SSDs. If it was a normal harddrive I would stick to ShredOS / nwipe, but since SSD's seem to be a little more complicated, I need your advice.
When reading through some posts in the internet, many people recommend using the software from the manufacturer for sanitizing. Currently I am using the SSD SN850X from Western digital, but I also have a SSD 990 PRO from Samsung. Both manufacturers don't seem to have a specialized linux-compatible software to perform this kind of action.
How would be your approach to shred your SSD (without physically destroying it)?
~sp3ctre
I don't see how attempting to over-write would help. The additional blocks are not addressable on the OS side. dd
will exit because it reached the end of the visible device space but blocks will remain untouched internally.
The Arch wiki saysblkdiscard -z
is equivalent to runningdd if=/dev/zero
.
Where does it say that? Here it seems to support the opposite. The linked paper says that two passes worked "in most cases", but the results are unreliable. On one drive they found 1GB of data to have survived 20 passes.
Sorry, it wasn't the Arch wiki. It was this page.
I hate using Stack Exchange as a source of truth, but the Arch wiki references this discussion which points out that not all SSDs support "Deterministic read ZEROs after TRIM", meaning a pure blkdiscard is not guaranteed to clear data (unless the device is advertised with that feature), leaving it available for forensics. Which means having to use --secure
, which is (also) not supported by all devices, which means having to use -z
, which the previous source claims is equivalent to dd if=/dev/zero
.
So the SSD is hiding extra, inaccessible, cells. How does blkdiscard
help? Either the blocks are accessible, or they aren't. How are you getting a the hidden cells with blkdiscard
? The paper you referenced does not mention blkdiscard
directly as that's a Linux-specific command, but other references imply or state it's just calling TRIM. That same paper, in a footnote below section 3.3, claims TRIM adds no reliable data security.
It looks like - especially from that security paper - that the cells are inaccessible and not reliably clearable by any mechanism. blkdiscard
then adds no security over dd
, and I'd be interested to see whether, with -z
, it's any faster than dd
since it perforce would have to write zeros to all blocks just the same, rather than just marking them "discarded".
I feel that, unless you know the SDD supports secure trim, or you always use -z
, dd
is safer, since blkdiscard
can give you a false sense of security, and TRIM adds no assurances about wiping those hidden cells.

Any window manager suggestion
I want to try a window manager on my nixos machine - this will be my first time trying one, I have good knowledge in programming so technical stuff wont bother me that much.
Which window manager do you suggest? Customization is my priority.
Hm? Both bspwm and herbstluftwm have tabbed layouts. It's been so long since I've used i3, but it has them too, right? Sway's a mostly config-compatible, mostly client compatible i3 clone for Wayland, so I'd expect it to have tabs, too. As well as floating windows, which every tabbing WM I've used also supports.
I think I missed your point. What are you saying? Did I say something that made you think I thought tiling WMs could only do tiling?
What I'm opinionated about is configuration files. Technically, even a desktop could be configuration-less, although I've never seen one. I have become insistent that my WM have no configuration that isn't set through a client call. Sway still uses a config file like i3; mostly the same config file, unless it's drifted significantly. That was Sway's whole killer feature: i3 users could switch from X11 to Wayland with only minor configuration file changes.
Tiling widow managers are popular, but they’re definitely a taste.
Oh, I refered to that in your post. To me all WMs/compositors are a matter of taste, including stacking ones (on wayland from the stacking ones I only like labwc though it's xml config is not what I would prefer). And you already clarified, but it gave me the impression that it was implicit that tiling was a matter of taste, when those WMs/compositors also offer tabbed/stacked mode, which to me it's not tiling at all, and offers something really appealing not so easily to achieve on any stacking WM/compositor.
Regarding config, well yes, if one is looking for no config at all, and still get the WM/compositor to be useful and also to one's liking, then that's hard to find. But the config files once achieving what one likes and is productive with, then one barely looks at it again, and they are usually portable (usually not only across PCs, also across distros).
But I got your point, sort of "plug and play" as they said before, just install it and without any config be productive with it... I can't imagine that. I heard river is pretty close to dwm, but I can't tell much about it. The river idea of dynamic tiling, which seems to be the default doesn't really appeal to me, so I would need to do tabbed mode any ways, which doesn't seem to be the default, so at least for me it wouldn't be that configless... But maybe it would be to dynamic tiling people.

#Who Truly #Owns the #World? You’re in for a shocking #revelation!
old.bitchute.com/video/uLiZD8D…
Who Owns The World? The Surprising #Truth About Every Piece of #Land on The #Planet is an encyclopedic accounting of land ownership on our globe. It is packed with fascinating facts: Did you know that Queen Elizabeth owns 1/6th of all the land on earth? Did you know that the largest private landowner in the U.S. is Ted Turner, who owns 1,800,000 acres of land? (Yes, all those zeroes belong in that number.) Have you ever heard of the British Indian Ocean Territory, a land area of 14,720 acres which is now believed to be used as a prison for those captured in the war on terror?
Though most of the 369-page paperback is devoted to information about who controls every square inch of land, authors Kevin Cahill and Rob McMahon explain their purpose in putting this book together:
This book asserts that the main cause of most remaining poverty in the world is an excess of landownership in too few hands. This book will also assert that private ownership of a very small amount on land – one-tenth of an urban acre or an acre or two of rural land – granted to every person on the planet has the potential to, and, I believe, begin ending poverty on a global basis. The book will go further and reassert that the right to the direct ownership of land is a fundamental human right.
After a 60-page introduction that unpacks these assertions, the remainder of the book surveys every country of the world, giving information about population, size, gross national income, percentage of land held by private owners, a line or two about the country’s history, and an explanation of how the country is owned.
The book doesn’t offer solutions to the inequalities presented in the book (a handful of kings, queens, sheiks, religious institutions and individuals control most of the land on earth) or do much to tackle the dicey issues of political and/or ethnic identity that have shaped most modern nation-states. But then again, it isn’t meant to do so. Who Owns The World? tells a compelling, unsettling story with stats, and is an interesting reference tool for students and those interested in international politics.

Marius Mason’s 2025 Statement
Greetings and Gratitude to my community,
I want to begin with thanking everyone who wrote a support letter or went to a support event this past year- thank you so much! I know that your solidarity connects incarcerated resisters with so much strength and love. I wish I could have replied to every letter I received – and I will be adding several new contacts to my correspondence list and writing back as much as I can…..This year has been a tough one for me. My twelve-years-long gender-affirming surgery quest was abruptly torpedoed by an administration whose sole mission has been hate and division. On the verge of surgery, successfully integrated into a predominantly-male identified prison population (for years) – I was unceremoniously kidnapped and thrown into the SHU due to an Executive Order making my gender illegal and erasing my rights as a citizen. Since then, I have been transferred to a predominantly female-identified prison population at the Federal Satellite Low in Danbury, Connecticut. It’s been an adjustment socially, but my community here has been very welcoming and affirming. I work as a peer support for an integrated program treating trauma and addiction. That feels meaningful, as so many people lose control over their lives, and often even their very lives, because of untreated addiction problems. I really feel that the international epidemic has at its heart the sense of despair and alienation that so many feel right now.
It’s been an intense year for all communities of resistance – whether we were focusing on the war on Gaza or the war on immigrants. We have been hard-pressed to provide support to those among us who have been damaged by the increasing attacks on women, immigrants, as well as transgender and queer people. The past six months have been a military march backward in human evolution as even the most basic social agreements on the rights of individuals in a society have been violated time and again. Rights guaranteed at the signing of the Magna Carta – rights that were at the heart of the conflict between England and the former colonies, are being systematically disemboweled. It has been said that if we do not learn from history, then we are doomed to repeat it. We have seen the onset of fascism before, and should recognize it now. So…these times are a challenge to any who desire real freedom, who passionately espouse justice and who honor and respect human dignity – and who persist in the belief that we are responsible for each other and to each other and our shared home, this Earth. The strength to face this challenge will come from solidarity…this is always our secret weapon against the venal brutalities of fascism.
Persist and Resist!
Love and Solidarity, Marius Mason
