Icelanders will vote in a referendum on Saturday whether to resume entry talks with the European Union amid growing global insecurity. Voters are not being asked to decide just yet if they want to join the 27-member bloc – only whether they want their government to negotiate possible terms.

CIA chief John Ratcliffe held ​talks with Russian intelligence officials during his visit to ​Moscow, ‌but did not ‌meet President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin ⁠said Wednesday. President Donald Trump described Ratcliffe’s visit to Moscow as a “semi-routine” mission, while implying that the intelligence chief was in the Russian capital to discuss the Ukraine war.

Former Bosnian Serb military leader Ratko Mladic, convicted of genocide in the 1992-95 ​war ‌in Bosnia, has died in ​the United Nations detention centre in ​The ​Hague after suffering several strokes, according to local media.

The “enhanced Easy mode” of uBlock Origin consists of the “Easy mode” together with blocking all 3rd-party iframes, and blocking a list of 3rd-party resources from “ubiquitous sites”.

The docs above give the example of Facebook, with these dynamic rules:

* facebook.net * block
* facebook.com * block
* fbcdn.net * block
facebook.com facebook.com * noop
facebook.com facebook.net * noop
facebook.com fbcdn.net * noop

and also mention “Twitter, Google, Disqus, etc.”.

I have two questions about this; can anyone here kindly help me?:

1. Is there a list of URLs for other “ubiquitous sites”? Any that you suggest?

2. Are any of these already blocked by the static rules? For example, I’d think of blocking google-analytics with

* google-analytics.com * block

but I wonder if this is redundant; I suspect such block already takes place in one of the default blocklists. Or?

Think the roughly $18 Billion Meta has settled for over child safety is a slap on the wrist?

Wait until you see the actual details: 😀 Paid in annual installments over a 10-year period

😜 States receive the money, not the victims

🤑 30% will only be paid if YouTube & TikTok:

"…pay an amount matching the 30% figure “…implement a one-hour Daily Limit, Night Mode, and age assurance measures”

Meta even wrote a wonderfully open letter to their competitors!

Sadly now everyone will have to verify themselves, too bad for Meta, now they will have to collect even more data - which we know they totally oppose and hate ;)

Traefik v3.7.12 deprecates the previously introduced underscoreHeadersStrategy entrypoint option and introduces a new one called aliasHeadersStrategy that rejects even more potentially spoofed headers - not just with underscores.

Reminder to adjust your Traefik config.

Hi,

I finally got around to migrate PdfDing from github to Codeberg. Hopefully, I will see some of you over there.

PdfDing is a PDF manager, viewer and editor that you can host yourself. It offers a seamless user experience on multiple devices. It’s designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker.

2.5 years ago, I migrated all my services hosted on a cloud provider to a homeserver.

This homeserver is also my workstation/gaming/dev/everything. I use QubesOS (an operating system based on the Xen hypervisor), and wrote some document about it: neowutran.ovh/qubes/articles/homeserver.pdf

Basically, I am hosting:

• DNS
• Matrix
• Email
• Jitsi
• Mumble
• Peertube
• Screego
• Nextcloud
• Searxng
• Tor
• Wireguard VPN
• Copy of wikipedia
• Personal website And others.

And for TLS, to have better security, and to avoid relying on third party company/providers, I am using DANE.

en.wikipedia.org/…/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Na…

sr.ht/~yukikoo/dane_without_root/

github.com/buffrr/letsdane

The “dane_without_root” is one of my projects and I am welcoming review / feedback on it

( I also posted about it on the QubesOS forum: …qubes-os.org/…/highlighting-neowutrans-technical… )

We started a ‘pass-the-story’ puppet where each child adds one sentence. Even quiet kids whispered a line. It builds vocabulary and turn-taking. Anyone measured long-term gains from this?

Today’s game is Old School RuneScape. I went through and did the stronghold of security today. I completed control, and wanted to do something a little lighter so this is what I chose to do.

I hadn’t realized the Stronghold was the kind of thing where you just run through and hope not to get swiped at. I assumed you had to level up to do it, but nope. Still though those extra levels came in handy. Gave me a few extra points to avoid getting swiped at.

Getting over there was a bit of a pain in the ass because the count wouldn’t teleport me for whatever reason. So I had to make the tedious walk all the way over there to start the dungeon. I at least benefited because I got some stuff i can sell for a decent amount of money (like poison)

Anyways, to end off I headed to the exchange. I wanted to pick up a Mithral Scimatar as I’ve been making my way down the Steam Achievements as a “Things to experience in OSRS”. I don’t think holding a Scimitar is really that big of an experience, but may as well do it for consistency sake

Anybody know of anything else that would be quite wise to purchase sooner than later, due to potential (or incoming) regulation that would be regarded as privacy-infringing to enforce? I was thinking about this because I’ve been pondering a high-quality 3D printer purchase for this reason.

Advice for varying levels of budget would be quite nice, too; I partially intend on this being a post people may want to revisit.

Tldr: green energy = price stability

Idk spike the trees or something

i think the article does a wonderful job at illustrating the point without even uttering a single word

The games will vary in obscurity, but I promise each would have had a North American release.

Provide the full title if you would like credit !

I’ll provide an answer if unsolved in 8 hours.

Can you guess the game ?

Has anyone here had much success with automated book downloads and a self-hosted library? I've been pulling my hair out trying to get shelfmark and calibre-web automated to work for me.

I'm trying to use them for engineering textbooks which I realise is not the intended use-case, so any more appropriate suggestions would be appreciated. I want something that handles creating a searchable text layer on top on the book so I can search the textbooks more easily.

ShelfMark is having the following issues:

• not connecting to annas-archive.is. I can reach it from my browser
• the sources I want aren't covered by the indexers via prowlarr

CWA is struggling to ingest my engineering textbooks at all. I've just increased the time-out so hopefully that helps.

edit: increasing the CWA timeout setting let it get through the textbooks. shelfmark is my only problem now, assuming adding a text layer with stirling-pdf goes well 🤞

edit 2: shelfmark is now working (thanks to TheFerventLion below)! OCR in stirling-pdf is the last step

I think A is the correct answer

This is pretty funny. Probably useless but that’s the point, right?

“The challenge is monumental. Even under the best circumstances, the transition to this new AI era will be one of the most turbulent times in human history,” Gates said.

He said managing the transition requires new national bodies able to coordinate policy across employment, taxation, energy, elections, public health, the financial system and national security.

“But even a country that gets its own house in order will still be exposed to risks that cross borders. This is why an international organization will need to be built in parallel,” he said.

These agencies could be modeled on certain existing systems, such as the global inspections regime for nuclear weapons, regulations for international aviation and agreements that protect the ozone layer.

“A new global organization for AI will need elements of all three and more,” he added.

Thanks wikihow, I hate you too

[ The Netherlands] "Europe must take much stricter action against China to stay afloat economically. That is one of the most important advice in a new report from the Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR).

Europe should not be afraid that China will strike back and damage the European economy. Doing nothing is more risky in the longer term, says WRR scientist Haroon Sheikh. “And the alternative is for our industry to disappear.”
