    And in an unlikely case that I ever went MIA unannounced, the instance admins are pretty good at finding replacements during monthly server update posts. And they have a mod bot running at the instance level to generate reports on flagged content.

    USA | Armed man arrested at Trump rally in California on Saturday
  • "The male driver, identified as Vem Miller, a 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, was found to be illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine," police said. "Miller was taken into custody without incident and later booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center for possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine."

    The authorities added, "This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event."

    Miller is a Republican politician, according to Nevada state records.

    UN mission says Israeli tanks forcibly entered base in southern Lebanon
  • In a statement released late on Sunday, the Israeli military said a Merkava tank had been trying to evacuate injured soldiers and had backed into the Unifil post accidentally.

    Smells like bullshit to me.

    “The time has come for you to withdraw Unifil from Hezbollah strongholds and from the combat zones,” he said. “The IDF has requested this repeatedly and has met with repeated refusal, which has the effect of providing Hezbollah terrorists with human shields.”

    Where have I heard about those human shields before? It seems everyone Israel decides to kill becomes a victim of being a human shield...

    “The secretary-general reiterates that UNIFIL personnel and its premises must never be targeted. Attacks against peacekeepers are in breach of international law, including international humanitarian law. They may constitute a war crime,” he said.

    Terrorist state of Israel doesn't seem to care. And the Western world doesn't have the balls to do anything about it.

    Later on Sunday, the Pentagon confirmed that the US would send a sophisticated anti-missile system known as Thaad and operator troops to Israel <...>

    And the first step of deploying US troops on the ground is complete.

    Hacker shows how a cigarette lighter can grant you root access
  • Use a password manager. And create a passphrase type password for it so it's easier to remember. Then you will have a unique password for everything, while only needing to remember one of them. And since you will use it daily, it's impossible to forget.

    Chagos Islands returned to Mauritius, but tensions over evictions persist
  • It seems like UK is only doing this to comply with the UN court order and paying off local officials to still keep their base there while ignoring the harm caused to local natives of the island.

    They refused to allow natives to get involved in the talks when the draft was negotiated, and now again refused to allow them to participate when the final version is being written. Typical colonialist behavior.
