Am Sonntag kommt es bei einem Fest in Bad Freienwalde zu einem Neonazi-Angriff. Im entscheidenden Moment ist die Polizei nicht zur Stelle: taz.de/Neonazi-Angriff-in-Bad-…

Wer sich schon lange gefragt hat, was #Meta mit den Metadaten (höhö) eurer Inhalte aus #Instagram, #Facebook und #WhatsApp langfristig vor hat, bekommt jetzt endlich die Antwort: Geld verdienen mit Profilbildung und personalisierter Werbung nun auch in WhatsApp. Denn Metadaten verraten oft mehr über uns als die eigentlich kommunizierten Inhalte: noyb.eu/de/whatsapp-getting-ad…
In der EU illegal? Meta scheißegal! 🤡

Den perfekten #Messenger gibt es nicht – aber funktional äquivalente Dienste wie #Signal und #Threema, die die verarbeiteten Metadaten minimieren und/oder schützen, sind nach sie vor die besseren Alternativen - wenn alle an einem Strang ziehen.

Dezentrale Dienste wie #DeltaChat, #XMPP und #Matrix können ebenfalls Alternativen sein.

Moment of Gratitude: CloudFlare

CloudFlare saved the Internet Archive servers from DDOS attack yesterday

The max rate of this DDOS attack was 525 Gbps (44.93 Mpps) of a "TCP flood."

The Internet Archive does not have enough bandwidth to fend off that kind of attack.

Thank you #cloudflare or we would have had a very bad Saturday at the @internetarchive

DDOS attacks are coming more frequently.

WhatsApp führt Werbung ein, die auf Nutzungs-Metadaten aufsetzen soll. In diesem Zusammenhang zitiere ich immer gern den ehemaligen NSA-Chef der USA, Michael Hayden: „We kill people based on metadata.“ abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines…

WhatsApp führt Werbung ein. Was einst als »niemals« galt, fällt dem Profitstreben zum Opfer. Nach der Überwachung nun auch die Dauerbespielung mit Konsumreizen. Nutzer werden vollständig verwertet: als Datenquelle, als Zielgruppe, als Ware. Ein Messenger im Dienst der Kontrolle – nicht der Kommunikation. Zum Glück gibt es bessere Alternativen. 👇

»Vizekanzler Lars Klingbeil hält es für möglich, dass Deutschland Israel im Kampf gegen den Iran auch weiterhin mit Waffenlieferungen unterstützt, wie er im ZDF sagte. Er halte es aber auch für richtig zu prüfen, ob die israelischen Angriffe vom Völkerrecht gedeckt seien.«

in reply to stephie

Natürlich weiss Herr Klingbeil dass Israel einen völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg führt, in Gaza Ziele verfolgt die genozidal sind und am laufenden Band Kriegsverbrechen begeht. Und Klingbeil weiss auch dass Deutschland verpflichtet ist nichts zu tun was hilft die Besatzung Palästinas aufrecht zu erhalten.

Klingbeil zieht also eine Show ab wenn er sagt dass "man prüfen sollte."

Lieferung für Verstöße gegen das Völkerrecht sind verboten. Wer tut als gäbe es keine, der lügt offensichtlich

Vanilla OS is what we would call an immutable system, meaning the base system is mostly read only by default, and updated after a reboot.

You can still install packages onto that base system, from the Debian repos, as Vanilla OS is based on a snapshot of Debian Sid. You can use any system tool that lets you change configurations, and you can still edit some config files.

So, Vanilla OS was already using the principle of distro containers, letting you create an Arch, an OpenSUSE, and a Fedora container on the fly, and install packages in any of these through a single package manager, called APX. It also of course supported Flatpaks, as that's how you'll install your software on the base system.

But this time around, they added Android app support as well. The way it works, is, of course, through Waydroid, but they've integrated it pretty well. You can simply download an APK, and double click it, to bring a graphical installer that will add this app to your applications menu.

Apart from that, you still have access to all the distro containers that Vanilla OS already had: you can create one graphically, or using the APX package manager tool, and you can see the list of programs that have been installed in each container.

The new version of APX is also more flexible, it lets you add not only distributions, but also just other package managers. If you want to add support for pacman, you can just add that, and APX will create the right distro container for you.

Vanilla OS 2 also comes with a new "smart updates" system. This is a fancy name to say "we won't download and install updates while you're working".

Smart updates just mean that the partition you're not currently using isn't getting updates while you're working or using the PC, because that would divert resources from what you're doing.

System updates are basically just snapshots of Debian Sid, that have been compiled into an OCI image that is tested by the Vanilla OS devs. Once it's ready, they'll ship it to all Vanilla OS systems, and your currently unused partition is replaced by this image, and all the customizations you've applied are of course applied to this new image as well.

And of course, flatpaks and packages from distro containers are updated normally, like any other distro.

The other major change for Vanilla OS is the addition of some NixOS like features, namely the ability to create descriptive files to reproduce your system.

There's a new tool called Vanilla Image Builder, or Vib. This lets you create a Vanilla OS Image, with a bunch of customizations already added to it.
You can add specific packages, drivers, codecs, but you can also add commands that need to be run, change some configurations, and more.

The project is actually wider than just Vanilla OS images, it also lets you create container images for specific applications, by specifying a distro base. Basically lets you create Docker images.

In terms of automation, Vanilla OS comes with VSO, for Vanilla System Operator. This lets you create tasks that have conditions, and instructions. If the conditions are met, the instructions are ran. These conditions include disconnecting from the network, when you're on low battery, when a specific process starts, when a new device is connected or disconnected, when your CPU usage is high, or others, and you can also specificy a script or a command as the condition.

VSO is actually more than just a task automation system, it also lets you manage the Waydroid subsystem, export applications from a distro container to your system's applications list, so you can run it in one click, it handles sideloading of APKs and DEB packages, and more.

For media, unruly protesters are a bigger problem than Trump’s police state. FAIR calls on journalists to focus on the Trump administration's efforts to suppress dissent rather than the broken windows and property damage at protests.

The Iran-Israel conflict will be one of the main topics at the G7 summit – Merz en.news-front.su/2025/06/16/th…

There are brain things that I think people should know and then learn how to use to their advantage and I don't know, whatever.
But, imagine the way you think, the words you use, the tone, the imagery, the self-talk, the images in your environment that reflect you back, the images and stories you seek, the images and stories either imbued or thrust upon us...
These things create our internal filters, the way we see the world. From the inside, through repetition and patterning we create a model of the world, intentionally or otherwise. This model/filter is how we see the world as it occurs. We have no choice.
And we do not share the same filters. Look around, that's obvious.
But, with many people, it's a program.
And here's how. I learned this back with 9/11...
There's a part of your brain called the amygdala, it means almond because of the shape of it. This little gizmo smack dab in the center of your skull behind your eyes and betwixt the ears is like a switch.
If the switch is turned forward, the brain sends electrical impulses forward into the pre-frontal cortex where we think and imagine and create and solve problems and stuff and things.
But when the switch is switch back yonder, the electrical impulses go to the brain stem, colloquially known as the reptile brain. But don't assume that means that reptiles rule the world. That would be absurd, right?
But when the juice is flowing to the back forty, we don't think, we don't reason. Instead, we look to authority to tell us what to do.
Frank Herbert said it best in Dune, "Fear is the mind killer..."
Things things you should know.
Then you should learn how to use your Reticular Activating System.
Yeah, your RAS. I shit you not. Maybe next time...

It is unacceptable that the Collective West supports unconditionally Israel!

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk has delivered a sharp rebuke of Israel’s military operations in Gaza, accusing it of causing “horrifying, unconscionable suffering” for Palestinians trapped in the besieged enclave.

He condemned the Israeli government for deliberately obstructing humanitarian aid and using starvation as a weapon of war.

#GazaGenocide #Gaza #IsraelWarCrimes

in reply to Fou

“Israel has weaponised food and blocked lifesaving aid,” Turk told the Human Rights Council in Geneva during the presentation of his annual report. “I urge immediate, impartial investigations into deadly attacks on desperate civilians trying to reach food distribution centres.”

On 12 June, all internet and landline telecommunications services were completely cut off when Israel launched a direct attack on the last remaining main fibre optic route connecting Gaza.

Frankly, there should be none of this guided crap. All that does is insert bias and prejudices by the person/ org running the "guide".

Instance operators should be able to specify something like a "keywords.txt" file and "description.txt" on their server and allow users to search by keywords and then maybe the server's metrics or metadata.

A I had a nightmare last night

B Arch devs on drugs again


A I read in the news that the US drone used by Israel to bomb the nuclear powerplant in #Iran was running joborun linux. I jumped out of bed in total fear!

But think about it, if you really didn't want to miss your target would you run it on, something with systemd? I wouldn't, too afraid it will drop on my head instead.

The things we don't know and are afraid to find out!

#joborun

This world is turning to total shit run by absolute gangsters and thugs with limited brain capacity.

B Meanwhile in the past 2 days arch has been running some rebuilds, for no apparent logical reason, different maintainers and different sources. The only change is renaming the file name LICENSE in the source to a file called license-from-upstream same content, same checksums. I fell for the first and renamed it, but the rest have been left as LICENSE and just added 1 to the release number to match them. Absolute waste of computing capacity and electricity.

Or try Catfish. In the Linux Mint App repository. It finds files more reliably than the Cinnamenu file search. Recoll is probably better for deep dive file searching.

BTW. Am not trying to be creepily helpful - I'm trying to solve for myself the same problem that you mentioned.

Didn't assume that at all and I appreciate the suggestions. Never heard of Catfish. Can't help but chuckle though since that's an odd name for a software that searches considering a catfish is someone pretending to be someone else. LOL.

WhatsApp is officially getting ads


WhatsApp is rolling out ads. In an update on Monday, Meta announced that it will now show ads from businesses through its Stories-like status feature.

Meta says it will tailor the ads to your interests by using “limited” information, including your country or city, language, the channels you follow, and how you interact with ads on the platform. You can also change your ad preferences from Meta’s Accounts Center.

This isn’t the only change Meta is making to WhatsApp. The company will also start showing promoted channels when you click on the Explore button to find new ones to follow. It’s also rolling out the ability to subscribe to channels to “receive exclusive updates” as well.

yeah, I can see now that this specific iteration of the meme is based on subjective ("pop-culture") opinions, not on hard evidence.

Also, I just noticed the "Chosen People (TM)" thing, so obviously that explains all the Jewish people at the far-right end.

Just as an aside, one of the interesting things about Trotsky was that he basically was a Nietzschean but he couldn't openly say so (Nietzsche was an arch-conservative) so he re-worded Nietzschean terms ("Ubermensch" became "Socialist Superman").
