Millions of US Families Could Soon Go Hungry Thanks to Trump-GOP Government Shutdown
Brett Wilkins,  Staff Writer  -  Common Dreams

_Stephan: As the organizational programs and agencies that have maintained the wellbeing of the United States are being dismantled by dictator Trump and his Republican Congress, funds are being cut, the healthcare system is in chaos, public education is becoming a disaster, and on and on.

Step by awful step, Trump is using this 12-stage plan to seize total control
Thom Hartmann,  Commentator  -  Raw Story

_Stephan: Thom Hartmann is correct in his description of what is happening to the United States. That is why the “No KIngs” nonviolent demonstrations are so important. The American people must rise up. The Republicans and their leader are going to do everything in their power to rig the election to keep themselves in power. The only … ⌘ Read more

US falls out of world’s 10 most powerful passports list for first time in 20 years
Marina Dunbar,  Guardian U.S. Fellow  -  The Guardian (U.K.)

Stephan: This report in the British Guardian, something you are unlikely to hear, see, or read in the American media, is important because it is another sign demonstrating how Trump and the Republican Party has caused America’s position and presence in the international community to decline.

Od vápna k umeleckým stenám: príbeh maľovania dolnozemských domov
Keď dnes vojdeme do moderne zariadeného príbytku, len málokto si spomenie, že pred sto či dvesto rokmi sa steny izieb našich predkov kalili – teda líčili – výlučne vápnom. Tento tradičný materiál si gazdovia kupovali najčastejšie od židovských vápnarov a výsledkom boli čisté biele múry. Postupne sa však menil vkus i technológie.

Folks, another unicorn vomited in our sky tonight: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-07-19/

Another example:

$ setpriv \
    --landlock-access fs \
    --landlock-rule path-beneath:execute,read-file:/bin/ls-static \
    --landlock-rule path-beneath:read-dir:/tmp \
    /bin/ls-static /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom

The first argument --landlock-access fs says that nothing is allowed.

--landlock-rule path-beneath:execute,read-file:/bin/ls-static says that reading and executing that file is allowed. It’s a statically linked ls program (not GNU ls).

--landlock-rule path-beneath:read-dir:/tmp says that reading the /tmp directory and everything below it is allowed.

The output of the ls-static program is this line:

─rw─r──r────x 3000 200 07-12 09:19 22'491 │ /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom

It was able to read the directory, see the file, do stat() on it and everything, the little x indicates that getting xattrs also worked.

3000 and 200 are user name and group name – they are shown as numeric, because the program does not have access to /etc/passwd and /etc/group.

Adding --landlock-rule path-beneath:read-file:/etc/passwd, for example, allows resolving users and yields this:

─rw─r──r────x cathy 200 07-12 09:19 22'491 │ /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom

The Linux installation on my main PC turned 14 today:

$ head -n 1 /var/log/pacman.log
[2011-07-07 11:19] installed filesystem (2011.04-1)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I use Alt+. all the time, it’s great. 👌

FWIW, another thing I often use is !! to recall the entire previous command line:

$ find -iname '*foo*'
./This is a foo file.txt

$ cat "$(!!)"
cat "$(find -iname '*foo*')"
This is just a test.

Yep!

Or:

$ ls -al subdir
ls: cannot open directory 'subdir': Permission denied

$ sudo !!
sudo ls -al subdir

Kultúrna pamiatka alebo nechcená záťaž?
Kaštiele v Kulpíne sú jedinečnou pamiatkou s akou sa môže pochváliť málo miest. Zároveň sú symbolom historickej kontinuity nášho regiónu.

10 Most Devastating Computer Viruses
Long before computers made their way into workplaces and homes everywhere, people theorized about a destructive kind of program that could replicate itself and spread between networked machines. In the 1980s and early 1990s, those programs became popularly known as “computer viruses.” You’ve probably had one at some point. All it takes is one wrong […]

Šafárik – 230 rokov od narodenia
Pavel Jozef Šafárik sa narodil 13. mája 1795 v malej slovenskej dedinke Kobeliarovo. Do Nového Sadu prišiel ako 24-ročný na pozvanie srbského metropolitu, kulpínskeho rodáka Stefana Stratimirovića, ktorý ho po príchode vymenoval za riaditeľa gymnázia. V Novom Sade si Šafárik založil rodinu – v roku 1822 sa oženil s 19-ročnou Júliou Ambrózyovou, príslušníčkou drobnej slovenskej zemianskej rodiny z Veľkej Kikindy. Spolu mali päť detí.
