Israeli media sources report:
- The operation in Beit Hanoun is the most dangerous since October 7, 2023
- Defense Minister Katz reprimanded Chief of Staff Zamir & the latter threatened Katz with resignation due to the Beit Hanoun incident
- Netanyahu interrupted his meeting with Americans to follow the event in Gaza (look at his face)

It's true.
The fact that resistance managed to use anti tank and SAM during the operation is a huge image loss for Israeli army after 21 months of constant bombing and almost total erasure of BeitHanoun, they managed to ambush their troops, not once, not twice but 3 times in a row.
Using Israeli bombs that didn't detonate to make IEDs is the best definition of karma I can think of.
PS. The official casualties are 7 dead & 14 injured, but I'm 100% sure the numbers are much higher.

The video features a scene from the television show "Schitt's Creek," as indicated by the hashtag "#SCHITTSCREEK" visible in the bottom left corner of the frames. It begins with a man wearing a black sweater with a graphic of a snarling dog's face, sitting next to a woman with blonde hair, in a room with teal-colored walls and a white headboard. The man appears to be engaged in a conversation, gesturing with his hands.
As the video progresses, the man stands up and continues to gesture expressively, indicating a lively discussion. The background remains consistent, with a lamp and a bedside table visible, adding to the domestic setting. The man's gestures become more animated, suggesting a passionate or emphatic exchange.
The video concludes with the man standing and gesturing with his hands, emphasizing his points. The setting remains the same, with the teal wall and the lamp in the background, maintaining the continuity of the scene. The overall atmosphere is dynamic, with the man's expressive body language suggesting a spirited conversation.

One of the first things I learned after moving to Texas was if you hear the sirens (tornado, flood, etc.), it's too late.
Analog weather radios, understanding the unique weather during certain times of the year and where to take shelter was driven into me by native Texans until I memorized it.

Why are California's Marxist leaders so adamant in keeping Los Angeles and San Francisco a total homeless shithole?
They devalue the land, then sell it to China.
It's that simple. They hate America, and don't want it to exist.

Some years ago Mozilla bought Pocket, a popular Read Later app. But today, they're shutting it down. Does this story ring a bell? It's certainly not the first time I see it, and that's why I've been moving all my apps to Solid in the recent years. In this video, I'll share how to build a Pocket replacement with Solid with the framework I'm working on, Aerogel.

Hello, I've been saying it to myself for a year now, but I'm on summer break rn and I really need to do something with my life. Here's some of the software I plan to host. Goal is to not spend more than $150-200, I do have some gift cards though.
Absolutely Will Run:
Nextcloud & Immich - I want to replace Google and OneDrive
Might do in the near future:
Jellyfin - my mom and I usually just bootleg by using Kodi on our FireTV, so not a major need rn, but might be nice for future purposes.
piHole - better overall ad blocking, so I don't have to use nextDNS on all my devices, and maybe help my mom out.
VPN - I currently pay for Proton, and we use it on the FireTV, but it sucks cause it doesn't have killswitch. I have several devices and profiles that I use, so I was thinking maybe just an overall VPN might be nice
Seeding - I think it would be nice to give back to the community, since I torrent every now and then.
OS Plan:
I plan to use Proxmox as I have a little bit of experience using it, and others seem to like it a lot for managing multiple software.
I know I don't need to go full power mode rn, so I wanna stick with something low end that I could maybe upgrade in the future. Should I just buy a used laptop/PC, or get like an Optiplex or ThinkServer? I don't wanna rack up my parent's electric bill. I already got some hard drives a year ago, so but is using an external drive bad?
I know to use the Ethernet ports so my signal isn't shit, but I gotta work out the best spot I can put my server. I do know an okay amount of networking knowledge, and I'm a cyber student anyway so this is like a fun yet educational personal project for me.
When it comes to external access and security of these services, should I stick with Tailscale? Some people have concerns over the proprietary bits and are using headscale instead I guess.
Any guidance is much appreciated!
If you really want something upgradeable, used enterprise SFF is the way to go: discountelectronics.com/
However, the hardware market is in a weird spot right now; you’ll get far more bang for your buck with an Intel N150. You can find a 16GB DDR5 w/ 1 TB SSD around the $200 mark, and that’s what I’d roll with in your shoes, assuming you don’t mind living without a spinning disk. Your Jellyfin and Immich instances will run far smoother.
