Picture this: you're on a cruise ship with other people. You’ve got two choices:

– You can scream, “I’m the captain!” set the engine on fire, sink the ship and die shouting, “BUT I WAS RIGHT!”

– Or you can park your butt on a deck chair, grab a drink, and enjoy the ride without being a pain in everyone’s ass.

Me? I say long live the chill cruise… and may the ego stay locked in the baggage hold!

Any help with a permissions issue re: containers?


So I've been using rootless podman-compose to run my arr stack forever, and I've never had this issue. What seems to be happening is that sometimes, but not always, when a new folder is created or an existing folder's contents are modified, it seems to be setting the files and their folder's owner to "52587" which does not exist. This causes it to then not be able to access those files. I can manually change them back, of course, but the container just overwrites it again. If I specify the user in the compose.yml, it seems to ignore it. It is happening with a few different containers (all in the same compose.yml), as I've seen it now with Radarr and NZBget. The files are on a 12TB drive, and the container mounts and compose.yml are on the same drive, but the OS (Bazzite) is on a separate drive.

My thoughts so far for possibilities:
1. The podman install is fucked somehow
2. The drive itself is fucked
3. Bazzite's weirdness is causing an issue

For #1, podman comes with Bazzite by default so I'm not entirely sure if I can rpm-ostree remove and reinstall, though that might be the next step I try. I'm not terribly good with podman to begin with so I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting it much otherwise.

For #2, this is entirely a possibility, the drive is pretty old, but I'm not seeing any errors or anything in the SMART stuff and outside of this specific issue I have seen no other problems there.

For #3, this issue did start to happen maybe a month after switching from Arch to Bazzite, mostly because I also wanted to use this machine for Sunshine streaming and my arch install was a mess anyway. I know Arch, though, and this immutable stuff has tripped me up before, so maybe I go back. Feels like admitting defeat though, lol.

Any ideas to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rootless Docker and Podman run their applications within a user namespace. This means most of the user IDs within the container are mapped to a different uid range on the host, often called a subuid. It's part of how "rootless" mode can allow an unprivileged user to run software that expects to have privileged IDs.

github.com/containers/podman/b…

which does not exist.


Are you sure it doesn't exist? Have you looked at the ranges defined in /etc/subuid on the host?

My first thought is that the uid numbers you see might be some of your host user's subuids. If so, they will appear as different uids (perhaps with usernames) within the container. Try launching a shell within the container and examining the same files, to see what their owners appear as there.

If this is what's happening, it's normal. As long as the software trying to access the files and the software creating the files are both in the same container, it should be fine. If it doesn't work, there's probably another problem in play.

By the way, Podman almost certainly has a way to map certain container uids to host uids of your choice, which can be convenient when you want to share files between containers or between a container and the host.

Il y a une grande différence dans les systèmes judiciaires de ces pays, notamment durant la phase d'instruction.
Ça n'explique pas tout, mais sur les grandes affaires, la personne poursuivie l'est par ce que les preuves etc montre la culpabilité et l'organisation des jurés est aussi totalement différent.
Sur les grosses affaires, un juge n'est là que pour organiser, guider et acter les différents intervenants et leurs conclusions.
Sur les petites affaires et la gestion de la 'preventive' c'est plus compliqué. Tu peux être en prison (en fait en maison d'arrêt) sur des présomption,.. en attendant que le procès se fasse... Ce qui est souvent long... Très long.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated.

The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.

'Iran WON the War. The U.S. HUMILIATED Itself in Front of the World' –Laith Marouf rachelblevins.substack.com/p/i…

Ok, so why is the right so terrified of this guy? (keep in mind, this asshole is a sitting U.S. congressman calling for his deportation).

Perhaps partially because Mamdani is calling for inexpensive city-run grocery stores and other programs to benefit the poor and working class.

But even more so because of what his victory represents: The mass outrage of the U.S. public, over half of whom cannot afford the basic necessities of life, at the billionaire class, as it strips away the minimum safety net that previously existed, loots the government coffers, and gives itself massive tax cuts, while promoting genocide, environmental devastation, and world war.

God forbid other Mamdanis start winning in D.C., Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

So, what should we expect next?

Ans: Cuomo 2.0, running as an independent in the general election, courting the votes of so-called moderate Dems, as well as the Republicans, and quite possibly becoming the next mayor of NYC, just like Brown did to Black Lives Matters activist India Walton in the 2021 race for mayor of Buffalo.

I'm trying, probably foolishly, to be a gaming YouTuber. I'd really appreciate it if you checked out my latest video.


I'm not really good at self promotion, and I'm aware that it's probably a wasted endeavour. I do enjoy making videos though, and I like the idea of entertaining people. While I'm aware this post will probably be down vored or ignored, I do want to say thank you if you do take time out of your day to watch, and I hope you enjoy.

okay fedi, i finally caught up a little on the #cc #creativecommons #signals thing.

so like... there just isn't going to be a CC-NFAI (No Fucking AI) option? CC's idea of being proactive is helplessly embracing this shit and then asking the owners of AI scrapers to pretty please give credit and maybe some money based on *their* financial means? I wouldn't say this to a fellow human under normal circumstances but with respect to AI scrapers, how about fuck your financial means, you should have asked the price before you stole my shit?

Also, maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole thing, so feel free to clarify anything I stated incorrectly.

@etherdiver yuppppppp.
i mean historically, CC was a force for good, i think. Sure, some more radical folks prefer copyleft, and i was always open to the idea but I barely fell on the side of CC bc i want the right to tell nazis to fuck off. But this proposal isn't even a legal mechanism the way CC licenses were. It seems like just nicely requesting AI scrapers to respect your wishes. Toothless.

The Ultimate DEGOOGLED ANDROID ROM, now even BETTER!


Download Safing's Portmaster for FREE and take control of your network traffic: safing.io/portmaster

I already talked about the /e/ Android ROM, a while ago, and while I really love this ultimate de-googled version of Android, there were also a few concerns about security, look and feel, how degoogled it all really is, and where the data is going. The /e/ project has also been updated quite a lot since my last video, so I think it's time to take another look at /e/.

List of stuff /e/ removes from AOSP:
https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/e-state-of-degooglisation.pdf

Older Android version, looks and feels like older Android


Ok, so one of the main comments I got on the video is that /e/ is based on an old version of Android. It was Android 8 in my previous video. Of course, /e/ also has releases based on newer Android versions.
On my Galaxy S9+, it goes up to Android Q (Android 10), which is also the case for a lot of phones out there.

Looks dated


One of my main problems with /e/ was that all the apps looked disjointed, using different accent colors, and sharing a kit-kat era look and feel.

I can happily report that with versions 0.15 and 0.16, this is no longer the case. The default apps, which are forks of open source android apps, now sport a nice white and blue color scheme, except for the email client and the maps app, which haven't been updated yet.

You're just giving your data to someone else


Another common comment I got on the previous video was that you were just giving your data to the /e/ project instead of giving it to Google.

While that, in itself, is a weird argument, as /e/ is a small nonprofit, and would really struggle to do anything with that data, it also doesn't apply here at all.

First, the account isn't mandatory: you can skip if if you'd prefer to use what you already have.

Second, the data you send to your /e/ account is encrypted, the /e/ project can't access it.

And third, /e/ doesn't sell ads, so they wouldn't even have any use for your data in the first place.

Now, speaking of the /e/ account, they only offered 1Gb of free storage, which was a meager amount, and you couldn't really upgrade that.

They now announced that, while the free tier is still only 1Gb, you can up that to 20Gb for 2 euros per month, all the way up to 1Tb for 13 euros per month. It's pricier than what the "big tech" companies offer, but it's still not a terrible deal, especially as this data isn't shared or accessed. If I didn't already have my own Nextcloud server, that's definitely something I'd be interested in, even if I didn't use /e/ on my phone.

The only issue is that this ecloud is basically access to a Nextcloud account, but you don't get to install your own apps on it

Not completely degoogled, or as de-googled as Lineage OS


Now another common comment I got was "just use Lineage OS instead". While /e/ is a fork of Lineage, it's also going a lot further to remove Google stuff from AOSP.

Lineage still uses the Google DNS servers, so they know what your device is trying to access, and they also use Google to connect to captive portals, like airport wifi.
It also uses Google services to aid GPS positioning, and as the Android Open Source Project webview, which calls to Google as well.

/e/ removes the connectivity check to Google, replacing it with their own servers, they removed calls to the Google time servers and replaced them with the standard provider for internet time, and while the DNS servers aren't changed automatically, you can change them in the settings as well.

So, in short, Lienage OS is great, but if you want to remove every bit of Google from your phone, /e/ is a better option.

Now some people were also saying that /e/ has "stolen" code from Lineage OS and other apps, without giving credit. This has been proven to be completely false, as they are clearly stating what they based their stuff on in their FAQ:
https://e.foundation/get-started/

Other concerns


Smartphones preinstalled with /e/ weren't available in the US or Canada when I made my previous video, now they are.

Some concerns were raised about security, especially since /e/ doesn't use the Play store, so how could we be sure that apps were unaltered binaries? the /e/ store uses the CleanAPK repositories.

We have here on Mastodon several amazing candidates for this EU panel about AI...

-----------------------
EU Commission seeks experts for AI Scientific Panel

The European Commission is setting up a scientific panel of independent experts to support the implementation and enforcement of the AI Act.

The panel will focus on general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and systems, advising the EU AI Office and national authorities on systemic risks, model classification, evaluation methodologies, and cross-border market surveillance. It will also alert the AI Office of emerging risks.

The Commission looking for 60 members for a renewable 24-month term.

Candidates should have expertise in GPAI models and systems, AI impacts, or related fields, such as model evaluation, risk assessment and mitigations, cybersecurity, emerging systemic risks, and compute measurements and thresholds. Experts must have a PhD or equivalent experience and remain independent of any AI provider.

The selection process will ensure gender balance and representation across EU Member States and EEA/EFTA countries. While *EU citizenship is not a requirement*, 80% of the experts must be from the EU or EFTA Member States.

Applications are open until 14 September.

People in Gaza have found dangerous narcotics inside flour bags distributed by the US-Israeli GHF, which Palestinians and national organizations now call “death traps.”

The Government Media Office in Gaza told QNN that the drugs found were Oxycodone, a powerful and addictive opioid. It noted that four citizens have so far confirmed discovering the pills inside flour bags distributed by the US-Israeli GHF so-called aid centers.

Justices Let Parents Opt Children Out of Classes With L.G.B.T.Q. Storybooks


Paywall Bypass Link archive.is/fcUgW

Public schools in Maryland must allow parents with religious objections to withdraw their children from classes in which storybooks with L.G.B.T.Q. themes are discussed, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday.

The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s liberal members in dissent.

The case extended a winning streak for claims of religious freedom at the court, gains that have often come at the expense of other values, notably gay rights.

The case concerned a new curriculum adopted in 2022 for prekindergarten through the fifth grade by the Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland’s largest school system.

The storybooks included “Pride Puppy,” an alphabet primer about a family whose puppy gets lost at a Pride parade; “Love, Violet,” about a girl who develops a crush on her female classmate; “Born Ready,” about a transgender boy; and “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding,” about a same-sex union.

At first, the school system gave parents notice when the storybooks were to be discussed, along with the opportunity to have their children excused. But school administrators soon eliminated the advance notice and opt-out policy, saying it was hard to administer, led to absenteeism and risked “exposing students who believe the storybooks represent them and their families to social stigma and isolation.”

Israeli soldiers say they are receiving direct orders to shoot unarmed Palestinians seeking food aid at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution points, even when no threat is present, according to several testimonies published by Haaretz on 26 June

One soldier described the area near GHF sites as “a killing field,” where lethal force is routinely used to disperse crowds desperate for food.

As evening fell, the day's opression lifted
Far peaks came into focus; it had rained.
Across wide fields and cultured flowers drifted
The conversation of the highly trained.

Two gardeners watched, and priced their shoes;
A chauffer waited, reading in the drive
For them to finish their exchange of views;
It seemed a picture of the private life.

Far off, no matter what good they intended,
The armies waited for a fatal error
With all the instruments for causing pain.

And on the issue of their charm depended
A land laid waste, with all its young men slain,
Its women weeping, and its towns in terror.
