The US has sent detainees to El Salvador, ignoring a court order and exposing the detainees to human rights violations.
Last year our FTP homies at The Fire These Times podcast interviewed Michael Paarlberg, associate professor of political science, on what El Salvador's system looks like, where president Nayib Bukele comes from, and how the state of El Salvador is implicated in gang violence.

Oops: Update Accidentally Removes Copilot From Windows

The image features a chandelier with six lava lamps as light sources. The chandelier is ornate, with a dark metal finish and intricate designs. Each lamp is filled with a different colored liquid, creating a vibrant display of blue, green, orange, pink, and yellow hues. The lamps are arranged symmetrically around the central fixture, with the blue lamp prominently positioned in the center. The background is a plain green wall, and the ceiling is painted a warm orange, enhancing the colorful glow of the lamps. The text overlay reads: "Wizard: Why don't you just cast a permanent spell on an object for light in your workshop? Artificer: You're so pedestrian."

I grew up in Ohio, in school we learned next to nothing about the ancient people of the region and I know more about earthworks like this in the UK than I do about the one that was not that far from where I lived. That is to some degree by design. So, I'm delighted that Milo choose this topic.
Also, we were shown (fake) "shrunken heads" as part of our unit on the early americas on a *school* field trip (which makes it sound like I grew up in the 1880s not the 1980s)

The Spectacular Archaeology of the Great Circle Earthworks
Howdy friends today we are going to be taking a step back in time and uncover the mysteries of the Great Circle Earthworks and the broader Hopewell Ceremonia...YouTube
I grew up on the outskirts of the core area of the Hopewell culture (Cincinnati metro) and have been to Newark a few times.
I was fortunate to have a 6th grade teacher during the late 1980s who taught us about indigenous culture throughout the continent, took us to local indigenous sites, and corrected the received cultural and historical inaccuracies. She was easily the most kind and impactful teacher I've had and was a clear exception on this topic from that time period.

This MAGA woman is running for Congress in Texas District 31. The #TrumpMusk regime & especially, Border Czar Homan, likely support Valentina Gomez, & the photo she's shared, which clearly indicates her death wish for undocumented immigrants.
I apologize for posting this disturbing photo from X (VG: 408K X followers), but I believe Americans need to understand the threat that Republican leaders pose.

Ever worried about other users on your Linux server seeing what processes are running? The `hidepid` kernel feature is your friend! It makes processes invisible to anyone but the owner and root user, even in system monitoring tools like ps, top, htop, and btop. This is a great way to prevent sensitive information (like API keys or passwords used in command-line arguments) from being exposed. See how to configure it cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-hide-p… for more info.

I keep seeing pearl clutching posts about this cloud flare blog, and I'm not sure I really get it, tbh?
blog.cloudflare.com/password-r…
Are people just realizing the scale of access that a reverse proxy has to traffick it handles? Because, um, this doesn't seem notable to me. Like, sure, absolutely stop using cloud flare. It's run by absolutely garbage human beings. But if you've already decided to let a third party terminate your TLS connections, then this is the kind of thing they can and will do. If fastly or bunny or whoever doesn't do this kind of inspection and analysis, it's only because they don't think they can productize it, not because they're unable or unwilling to do so.
Password reuse is rampant: nearly half of observed user logins are compromised
Nearly half of observed login attempts across websites protected by Cloudflare involved leaked credentials. The pervasive issue of password reuse is enabling automated bot attacks and account takeovers on a massive scale.The Cloudflare Blog
That is rich.
If there is a CDN, then the CDN can collect the creds and leak them later.
