The vice president attended the opening ceremony in Milan, where people also protested the presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Winter Olympics.

The State Department is removing all posts on its public accounts on the social media platform X made before President Trump returned to office on Jan. 20, 2025.

The posts will be internally archived but will no longer be on public view, the State Department confirmed to NPR. Staff members were told that anyone wanting to see older posts will have to file a Freedom of Information Act request, according to a State Department employee who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by the Trump administration. That would differ from how the U.S. government typically handles archiving the public online footprint of previous administrations.

I've been using Termius for a few years for an SSH client. Have have a lot of self-hosted servers both in my home lab and on VPSs. I'm looking to cut some costs since it's $120/year and really the main thing I use it for is syncing my SSH accounts and credentials between a laptop, a desktop, and my Android phone. So I'm looking for a new method to sync these things.

I'd prefer a single application, but I'd settle for a good, secure way to sync the credentials and recommendations for applications on Fedora and Android.

Edit: I'm OK with a one time payment application, but prefer open source or a solution I can self-host the sync server. And I don't want a subscription.

PC Gamer and GamingOnLinux recently covered a few things about GOG's usage of genAI for promotional content, but this video goes into deeper coverage about their Head of Product being responsible for their direction. (Cue scam AI Instagram girls). It also covers how the company chose to respond to the backlash regarding their usage of genAI.

It's sad to see them being brazen about their AI usage. I advocated for them several times, owning games (anything, really) is something that should be for granted. All of this makes their store look really cheap and turns off people from thinking about the idea.

In Portland, Ore., Brittany Trahan started buying DVDs rather than paying for Netflix and Apple TV, while Lisa Shannon has been relying on public transit instead of taking an Uber. And in McDonough, Ga., Brian Seymour II has been embracing the cold to shop locally instead of buying through Amazon.

They're among a growing number of Americans participating in a boycott this month, targeting tech companies who, they believe, are not doing enough to stand up against President Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown.

Today, a coalition of 30+ organizations and AI experts released a new letter warning of the potential national security implications of the Pentagon’s use of Elon Musk’s Grok. The letter, signed by organizations including Public Citizen, Indivisible, the Consumer Federation of America, the Center for AI and Digital Policy (CAIDP), UltraViolet and others, calls on the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to decommission the unsafe and untested technology.

Asking because of the latest issues with the maintainer.

Here is my setup:

I have multiple DuckDNS domains (and subdomains) pointing to my home IP. My home router has port 80 and port 443 forwarded to Nginx Proxy Manager on my home server. Nginx Proxy Manager points to the appropriate docker container and each one is encrypted with Let's Encrypt.

Am I missing anything here or is this how I'm supposed to be doing it? Every app that has a DuckDNS url has a password in some shape or form.

Razer’s account management interface includes a “Human Verification” feature that encourages users to verify their identity through World ID, an identity system operated by Tools for Humanity. The feature is presented as a way to obtain a “human badge” and receive promotional incentives, including Razer Silver rewards, during normal account usage.

I moved about a month ago and haven't touched my pc a whole lot from before packing it away and finally getting around to unpacking it.

I'm not super technologically inclined, not completely illiterate but no expert for sure. Usually I'd update my system regularly but with the move and otherwise being extremely busy lately I'm only getting around to it now. I tried looking it up first but I'm not sure if I just used the wrong search queries or what, but I couldn't get a good answer anywhere, so I thought I'd try here.

Thanks in advance for any help. I really do appreciate it.

Hey everyone,

I have an unraid server and over the years I've gathered quite a lot of tools, some of which are now exposed to the net.

I've been mostly checking on my server every once in a while to see if things are healthy, but I would like a more central version to look into the health of my network, any issues from docker logs, etc.

Anyone got a good ui for that? (preferably deployed through docker)

The new Micro~~soft~~slop copilot key always sends the following key-sequence when pressed:

copilot key down: left-shift-down left-meta-down f23-down f23-up left-meta-up left-shift-up
copilot key up: <null>

This means there's no real key-up event when you release the key --> it can't be used (properly) as a modifier like ctrl or alt.

The workaround is to send a pretend key-up event after a time delay, but then you mustn't be too slow / fast when pressing a shortcut.

• Linux workaround: https://github.com/m-bartlett/remap-copilot?tab=readme-ov-file
• Windows workaround https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys/issues/560
• https://xcancel.com/dcolascione/status/2019936377408811319

tldr: AI took a perfectly working modifier key from you.

--- edit ---
Some keyboards apparently do the "right" thing and don't send the whole sequence at once, you can remap those properly with keyd, see: https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd/issues/1025#issuecomment-2971556563 / https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd/issues/825

copilot key down: left-shift-down left-meta-down f23-down
copilot key up: f23-up left-meta-up left-shift-up

this will still break left-shift + remapped copilot and left-meta + remapped copilot, but RCtrl remaps should work as expected

I've recently made some updates to the ActivityPub Relay I maintain. This includes a regularly updated list of connected instances for monitoring their status and having an easy way to refer to instances for inquiry. I've also added a relay policy which states instances will be banned for featuring bigoted content or having poor admin/uptime.

I definitely have room for some more Mastodon, Misskey, and Pleroma instances.

The relay server itself is located in the east coast of the United States, but open to all regions.

Every morning, I do a multiple DNS Leak test just as a precaution. Today, I did the leak test and all my IPs were different. They were the same IP block, just different. This made me suspicious and I set about trying to track the problem down. Turns out, there was a misconfiguration in the VPS. Worked yesterday, different today. I guess it was ghosts or gremlins in the machinery.

I got to thinking, for you guys who download a lot of Linux ISOs, might be a good idea to check daily. Even though you are setting behind a VPN, it's still worth the minute it takes to fire off multiple DNS Leak checks just for a sanity check.
