It set me ablaze that lil dogs 1st like a post then when another so called social influencer disregard me he turns on me and tell me do not drag me in your drama while in fact there was no drama but he makes a drama of it himself... There are weird people over here I'd say, very weird
I forgive you as a person not what you did so you stay where you are and wont approach me at all and will have difficulties to enter threads where I was before now. Also, I hope your admin will take responsibility on you to read your ToS Plan =B will follow with more accurate and delightful reports. pre ban Plan-B makes me make Plan-C simply set as we can go on.. Radical idiots! US creeps Making 100+ threads about ICE but dislike China Tis social media is a waste of time for me honestly. Mongo demo cats is a good name for such of your likes. When I read ya profiles it seem you are more busy building things with all that code languages you know as you were 60 year old but slay your time on socials..
Wanna make a change? get back behind ya fucking terminal and make it! It is not by playing Romeo here that you achieve 1 thing.
Fucking Trump will makes us all starve and die anyway outside that with his brain rot. He shud be stripped of all his clothes but his underwear (no one want to use a microscope to detect his dick) and delivered to North Koreans to work in a Gulag Camp! Israel should be exempt from UN and all world charters about humanity etc and declared as enemy of the world and as such each Nation has the right to shoot them.
Turkey alone could do the job easily.
Netanyahu should be executed in public with a slow death. And his administration should watch it before to be next.
1/ Some people do not care much about what happens globally. They care about what happens around them, in their micro-universe. 2/ These people can only see a dark future, for they can only see the life they live now. 3/ Others show some concern about the global affairs. They are interested in everything, in the future in perspective, in what is going to happen globally. 4/ They have a more optimistic view. To them the future is cleaner and more beautiful, for they can see into it and they see a more mature man, a wiser world. 5/ We are in the middle. We are interested in what happens now, but in what’s gonna happen tomorrow as well. 6/ We look in the net, and the net is growing wide and wider. 7/ Soon everything in this world will be swallowed by the net: from the military systems to the PC at home. 8/ But the net is a house of anarchy. 9/ It cannot be controlled and in this is its power. 10/ Every man will be dependent on the net. 11/ The whole information will be there, locked in the abysses of zeros and ones. 12/ Who controls the net, controls the information. 13/ We will live in a mixture of past and present. 14/ The bad come from the man, and the good comes from technology. 15/ The net will control the little man, and we will control the net. 16/ For if you do not control, you will be controlled. 17/ The Information is POWER!
President Donald Trump is facing mockery after floating the idea of renaming the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important shipping lanes, after himself – or the United States.
What does the file command do on Linux, and how can it identify file types without relying on extensions?
Short answer: The file command analyzes file content using magic numbers and heuristics to determine type, bypassing extensions. It supports MIME types, compressed files (-z), and symlinks (-L).
mine does this or I do it..
answer is ungoing because I did not precised the context of what I want, rather the whole.
And I amply use it just to know how to handle it is all, the context in prompts play a big role even with all this and needless to show ya my hallucination detection app as you would not understand the metrics. Judge about this ya'll.
Magic numbers are used by most OSes even MS/Windows. They are typically the first two to four bytes, in some instances more. Every graphics format has their own magic number. Also the bash shebang #! is a magic number. Elf binaries have a magic number as well a MS/Windows PE files and other executable formats on MS/Windows. When it come to plain text files such as json and source files file uses heuristics as their are no magic numbers to count on.
Unlike MS/Windows file extensions are meaningless in regards to the filesystems used on Unix derivatives such as Linux. Though file can make assumptions based on a file extension. This does not mean you should use them in places where they do not belong.
A basic rule for file extensions, greatly ignored from those coming from MS/Windows, is that if the file will be consumed by another app or service then we give it a file extension so its MIME type can be used. An example would be files that are served by your httpd daemon. We DO NOT use file extensions on any program that is intended to be invoked from the CLI ever. There are some issues. Such as when Microsoft had the standards for .NET drawn up they required the .exe extension for executables. Most .NET applications developed on 'nix systems are not run at the CLI so this is not an issue. When they are we create a symbolic link to the .exe file so that users do not have to use the .exe extension when invoking the command.
This is an ongoing issue as many developers turning to 'nix from a Windows environment do not seem capable of understanding that file extension are not typically used in many cases on 'nix. That is why we have a file in the first place. It is sad that even those at a professional level often do not get this simple concept.
We can also use the symbolic link technique when we are writing python programs that are meant to be invoked at the command line though our tool chain likes file extensions. We do typically use file extensions on source code for compiled programs as they are not directly invoked and are consumed by the compiler. You will note that there are many python and perl scripts used on a 'nix system and none of them have a file extension. If a python, perl or other script has a shebang line and you set the executable bit then it should not have a file extension. If it is run by an interpreter and does not have a shebang line and does not have the execution bit turned on it is fine to have a file extension.
@Unus Nemo Thanks I could have used this for an other topic earlier today else about NixOS, this was just an example of the workflow of my RAG and results in the server's UI , as I did not precised conceptual things. But thanks for the information 🙂
When I say 'nix I am not talking about NixOS I am talking about all Unix derivatives including MacOS, BSD distros, Gnu/Linux distros, Hurd/Linux and any other Unix Derivatives. Yes, NixOS happens to be one of those derivatives, though it is not what I am specifically talking about.
I have seen it nix, 'nix and *nix 😉. In both conversation and books. In this case I doubt it would have prevented the confusion no matter how I abbreviated it. It really does not matter now; as it is understood now.
Finally got this Podman up to do Osint without root privs
I hit like button by accident... reload page was the shift that was there when I clicked.
miscalculated the 1st image any view of the commands podman run --rm -it -p 5001:5001 bodane/osint:latest podman run --rm -it -p 5001:5001 docker.io/bodane/osint:latest
for those that wonder about the --rm and --it flags> --rm you could imagine is remove or Automatically removes the container when it exits. Ensures no leftover containers consume disk space. Useful for temporary tasks like OSINT scans. the --it flag however has 2 functions > 1st is is interactibve or keeps you on it simply and 2nd is Allocates a pseudo-terminal, giving you a shell prompt inside the container.
Save outside that container podman save -o osint-image.tar docker.io/bodane/osint:latest So it saves it offline all your docs as well in that case re run with podman load -i osint-image.tar
best restart Pod command is (for a new case) podman run --rm -it -p 5001:5001 docker.io/bodane/osint:latest
Tools are : BlackBird, IntelX. io CLI, Sherlock and Spiderfoot. I can add self made tools.
I do not currently have XMPP setup on this Instance.
It really depends on what you mean by "login to the server". There is an XMPP addon for Friendica, though it requires the admin (me) to set that up. It also requires that I setup an actual XMPP server as that is not an integral part of a Friendica Instance. This adds an XMPP interface to the Instance to be used for messaging instead of just DM (Direct Messaging, which is very poorly implemented on the Fediverse in general).
If I setup XMPP then you would be able to use XMPP from the Instance though you would not be able to access the Instance via an XMPP client that is not how the addon works.
IRC is already setup on the Instance. I may consider adding XMPP when I have time though it is not something that is very popular these days (like IRC is right 😉 but I do not have to setup another server for that addon).
I was actually considering setting up a Matrix Server for the Instance, would you prefer XMPP over Matrix?
In any case you will not be able to access this Instance, or any other Friendica Instance, via a XMPP client. As they do not support any of the current protocols for the Fediverse. Please keep in mind that every second party App I have tried is Mastodon centric and work poorly for Friendica. Currently there are no Friendica specific apps. I use a PWA on my mobile devices in lieu of an actual app. A lot of popular apps are little more than a very limited webui in any case so this is not really an issue.
Hello my friend, I'm Israa from Gaza and a mother of three. I'm sorry to be writing to you so hesitantly, but I've lost everything and I'm living a harsh reality. My three children need food, warmth, education, and medical care. Every contribution from you makes a huge difference in our lives.🇵🇸✋🏻🥺💔 #Gaza #palestine #genocide #Israel #freepalestine #save gaza children #SupportGaza #Humanity #HelpUsSurvive #life .
In the stillness after a night of bombardment, Israa, a devoted mother of three, and her husband lost not just a home, but the sense of safety that every family deserves.
It won't work in Toolbox because Toolbox runs as a rootless Podman container. Buildah is the low-level tool used to build the network-tools container image. It executes Dockerfile-like instructions (e.g., FROM, RUN, COPY) without needing a daemon, creating each image layer efficiently and securely Buildah requires specific kernel capabilities and access to the host's container storage (/var/lib/containers or ~/.local/share/containers) to create and mount filesystems, which are restricted when running inside another container for security and isolation reasons.
That is not actually a pod, it is an OCI Container. There is a difference. It is explained in the book I gave you. It is tempting to think of containers as pods since the name is podman, though they really are just containers. You can build pods with podman though those are used with kubernete and not just podman itself. I do not believe you will need a pod or kubernete any time soon 😉.

Hey folks, the vagaries of distributed server systems tanked me once again!
My Friendica account, which I use to manage all my federated social media accounts, was on a server that crashed with unrecoverable backups last week. This is technically a new account with the same name, content, and photo, but it's still me, I promise!
Anyway, follow me. Let me follow you. Help me rebuild my online life once again!
The name "chess" is derived from the Arabic word shatranj, which itself evolved from the Persian shatranj (from Middle Persian chatrang), ultimately tracing back to the Sanskrit word caturanga, meaning "four divisions of the military" (elephants, horses, chariots, and infantry). The Arabic term shatranj was introduced to Europe through the Islamic world, particularly via Al-Andalus (modern Spain), and influenced the development of the game and its terminology in Europe. The word "checkmate" comes from the Arabic shāh māt, meaning "the king is helpless," further highlighting the Arabic linguistic influence on chess.
mat means dead in Arabic not helpless btw. Sjeik mat, meaning the sjeik is dead. Chess-Mate
the California age verification law for operating systems, including Linux, does not require users to provide ID or undergo any form of verification.
The law, known as AB 1043, mandates that operating system providers collect age information during account setup, but it only requires self-reporting—users simply enter their date of birth or select an age bracket. There is no requirement for photo ID, facial recognition, or any other form of identity verification. As noted in multiple sources: as theregister.com/2026/03/13/opi… The system relies on user honesty, and users can lie about their age with no consequences. The collected data is intended to be used by apps to determine age-appropriate content, but the OS itself does not verify the information.
Some Linux distributions are exploring minimal implementations (like a D-Bus interface or local config file) to comply without storing sensitive data.
In short, it's a declaration-based system, not a verification system.
The issue is escalation. It is easier to amend a law than to create it. If they came out in the beginning demanding proof then no one would approve of it. So they try to make a law which has requirement for an age signal. This gets their groundwork done. Let me give you an example.
In the United States the attempt to pass a law for Income Tax, which is unconstitutional in the the United States, was defeated over three times. When they finally made a condition that it only effected millionaires it got passed. Over the years just taxing the incomes of millionaires was not enough. So they extended the law to the middle class, and then to everyone. It is much easier to amend an existing law to their purpose than to get one passed that is as restrictive as they want it to be. Yet, they know when they get their foot in the door their mission is on the way to fruition.
Given time they will find, as they already know, that an age signal is not enough to protect the children (as they are selling it), so they will make the requirements more stringent until there will be a whole industry of Age Verification Providers. Anyone that wants to use a device with an operating system on it will have to verify with a provider which will demand a copy of their ID, Birth Certificate, etc. Our use of these devices will then be irrevocably connected to our Identification. Privacy will no longer exist.
Yes, they are trying to set the groundwork that will let them create the ultimate surveillance of the Internet. Where they can tell what each and every person on the internet is doing at any time. Where privacy will not even be an illusion. And we are supposed to trust that our governments will not misuse this information as they have misused all of the other power we have given them historically. I am not confident at all that it will not be misused. The only faith I have in our governments is that they are greedy and corrupt and will misuse every power we give to them.
By the way, this effects us directly as Fedora users. Fedora is funded by Red Hat and Red Hat is owned by IBM. Because IBM is based in Colorado where such laws are being passed as we speak you can be assured that Fedora will have no legal choice except comply or end their distribution.
I imagine, but it does not effect him directly. As he produces no OS, he is only the maintainer of the Kernel he created. So he is under no burden by these laws. Only those that use his Kernel and then distribute the distro they create.
I may be going back to home rolled (Linux From Scratch) Gnu/Linux after all. As it is not effected as long as you are not distributing an OS this age verification does not apply. We can still use our own OSes that we build, on our hardware.
Well, it is not like when I first started home rolling Gnu/Linux. There are great resources out there. I suggest you get copies while they still exist, even if you do not use them right away.
By the way, systemd is an early adopter of this age verification, if you have not heard. If you use systemd in your own OS build be sure to vet their sources.
There are books for building with systemd and SysVinit even though I prefer systemd, I believe I will revert back to SysVinit.
@Fou mhm, search engine AI Yes, building your own operating system is a viable — and increasingly relevant — way to maintain full control over your digital environment, especially as laws like California’s AB 1043 lay the groundwork for system-level user tracking.
You can create a custom Linux-based OS tailored to your privacy, performance, and usability needs.
Most approaches fall into two categories: 1. Remix an Existing Distro (Recommended for most)
Use tools like:
Debian Live (live-build): Customize Ubuntu/Debian ISOs, add/remove packages, apply branding. Archiso: Build from Arch Linux, ideal for lightweight, rolling-release systems. SUSE Studio (web-based): Create custom openSUSE images with GUI tools. Cubic (Ubuntu-focused): GUI tool to modify Ubuntu ISOs easily.
These let you strip out telemetry, enforce encryption, harden the kernel, and embed privacy tools (e.g., firewall rules, Tor, OpenSnitch) by default.
this is the easy approach instead building from scratch.
Yes, but if you are starting with a corrupt base system that has age verification built in then you better know what you are doing to get rid of it. One way to learn how to do this is by experimenting and learning with Linux From Scratch. This way at least you will know where to look in the distro you are using as a base in order to sanitize it.
Keep in mind that moving forward some distros packages may require age signaling to work. So you would need to build your own packages anyway. This is probably not going to happen in the near future. Yet, that is what I would have said about OS age verification last year too ...
@Unus Nemo @Fou No it's not gonna happen soon beyond that age verification but there are options at least for the savy. I'm learning about containers not making an OS image on my own so wish me good luck. Also I want it to be immutable but that is not an issue if I make it myself.
You are in luck, because by default OCI containers are immutable. We add the persistence to them where needed. So you will have no issue with making it immutable as that is the default.
Keep in mind that a container is to protect your host from the container, not vice versa. If your host system is compromised then the container is compromised as well. No matter how well you make your container.
@Fou Or kept in USA only not outside of it, why should I care for a law out of California, Colorado while I live in EU ??? I bet the Chinese have their own systems unaffected
Why should I care if the Nazis are killing the Jews? I am not Jewish.
Besides it effects you. As I stated above Fedora is funded by Red Hat, Red Hat is owned by IBM which is based in Colorado. Which means after 1-Jan-2027 Fedora will have to age verify. This will indirectly effect many that do not believe it effects them.
This also effects the many distros based on Fedora.

Now I can use additionally containers on the same network and they will automatically resolve each other by name via aardvark-dns. Expose my Pod with Quad9 instead of 8.8.8.8 Manage containers as systemd services using Quadlet for auto-start and better integration on Fedora Atomic as well.
This is a known issue between privacy and other network types on the Fediverse. Because they do not all use an agreed upon protocol to verify users when you make something private on one Fediverse network it will exclude your friends on other networks. The same would be true if you posted something private on Mastodon, even though we are considered friends Mastodon has noway of verifying our identity so it would just block us.
Many of the privacy settings on Friendica or any other type of Instance are not going to work across the whole Fediverse. Unless it is your intention to keep everything so only those on Friendica Instances or logged into our Instance it is best to turn those settings off. Until the day when privacy on the Fediverse has a unified way of implementation across network types.
If you wanted to share something that only those on this Instance, or a Friendica Instance can see then it would be fine. Though quite often we want all our friends on the Fediverse to be able to view our posts.
Keep in mind that all propagation off this Instance is considered anonymous guests. So you essentially kill your posts ability to propagate to your friends off of this Instance by turning that feature on.
The sad part is that even when this is fixed it may be a very long time before we can reap any benefits. As over 90% of the Instances on the Fediverse are using outdated to ancient Instance versions and never upgrade.
If we subscribe to the belief that our reality is what we accept from our perception of our environment, which I do, would it be equally true that we are victims of our environment, and punished by our misperceptions?
@Unus Nemo Nice view of life, but there are that know no thing else since childhood survival and don't see themselves as Survivors as that is the only choice left and as such victimized by that choice.
Whether you feel as if you survived or are a victim is always your choice. If you feel you have not option except to accept being a victim you made a choice. I would suggest rethinking and changing that choice.
Now after RAG and all the effort of configs and system message AND prompts now I have to set question per prompt with context. Namely that prompt needs context from this rfc or that manpage or whatever which makes it accurate but quite not what I wanted.
I need to solve this, the answer is per prompt new thread with reference to this or that documentation. Sys message tells it to look there and if not fall back on normal given knowledge from source, but the context matters more> hence the prompt in my case is important for accuracy as I catched all his 2nd continue thread answers as pure lies if it comes to high grade things. Repeating prompts with addition is a way out of many others. Contentious seen from the context perception of each single prompt following!
