#Israel has blockaded any food, water, and medicine to Gaza for over two months now with the aid of the #USA.

They are starving the people of #Gaza with famine.

Gaza: ‘Worst-case scenario’ unfolds as brutal aid blockade threatens mass starvation

We have setup our first bounty as part of #dephcom (we started as #debphoshfund but Open Source Collective suggested a name change and community picked the new name via a poll).

If you have a Librem 5 and you'd like more choice with Operating System, especially newer versions of software than currently being shipped in PureOS #byzantium or even upcoming #crimson please support.

This is a subtoot and should probably be a blog post. But basically some techbros are re-inventing mesh radios (badly) going on like my 20th year of tinkering in this corner of tech.

Low cost, developer friendly mesh radios have kinda been going in circles for decades.

So in many ways I guess I shouldn't be surprised to review yet another cheap mesh radio project and realize, "dude this just plain sucks and isn't improving at all, oh and the community is kinda awful".

Announcing the NNCPNET Email Network

From 1995 to 2019, I ran my own mail server. It began with a UUCP link, an expensive long-distance call for me then. Later, I ran a mail server in my apartment, then ran it as a VPS at various places.

But running an email server got difficult. You can’t just run it on a residential IP. Now there’s SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and TLS to worry about. I recently reviewed mail hosting services, and don’t get me wrong: I still use one, and probably will, because things like email from my bank are critical.

But we’ve lost the ability to tinker, to experiment, to have fun with email.

Not anymore. NNCPNET is an email system that runs atop NNCP. I’ve written a lot about NNCP, including a less-ambitious article about point-to-point email over NNCP 5 years ago. NNCP is to UUCP what ssh is to telnet: a modernization, with modern security and features. NNCP is an asynchronous, onion-routed, store-and-forward network. It can use as a transport anything from the Internet to a USB stick.

NNCPNET is a set of standards, scripts, and tools to facilitate a broader email network using NNCP as the transport. You can read more about NNCPNET on its wiki!

The “easy mode” is to use the Docker container (multi-arch, so you can use it on your Raspberry Pi) I provide, which bundles:

Exim mail server
NNCP
Verification and routing tools I wrote
Automated nodelist tools; it will request daily nodelist updates and update its configurations accordingly, so new members can be communicated with
Integration with the optional, opt-in Internet email bridge

It is open to all. The homepage has a more extensive list of features.

I even have mailing lists running on NNCPNET; see the interesting addresses page for more details.

There is extensive documentation, and of course the source to the whole thing is available.

The gateway to Internet SMTP mail is off by default, but can easily be enabled for any node. It is a full participant, in both directions, with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and TLS.

You don’t need any inbound ports for any of this. You don’t need an always-on Internet connection. You don’t even need an Internet connection at all. You can run it from your laptop and still use Thunderbird to talk to it via its optional built-in IMAP server.

Hamas's application to the UK Home Secretary to remove its designation as a terrorist organization aims to build international support for Palestinian resistance and affirm the group's role as a political actor in determining the future of Gaza.

Breaking the Silence (on FB):

The following statement was published in #Haaretz’s #Hebrew print edition on Friday, in collaboration with many of our partners in #Israeli civil society.

“Say no to the Israeli government’s policy of death

Tens of thousands of deaths, entire cities razed, millions of human beings emaciated from hunger, hostages abandoned to suffer and die - none of this satisfies the bloodlust of the #Netanyahu-Ben Gvir government.

For the sake of its political survival, and in the name of the war of attrition it declared against the Palestinian people, the Israeli government is prepared to continue committing the gravest crimes.

This is what dictatorship looks like - when a leader is prepared to trade in human blood for his own selfish interests.

It’s time to say loud and clear: We will not continue to follow him on this path of doom.

We all have a duty to resist the Netanyahu-Ben Gvir government’s policy of death.

Israel has begun the final stage of its genocide. Palestinians are being forced to choose between death or deportation. What we are witnessing dwarfs all the historical assaults on Palestinians.

Israel’s apologists: release the hostages and the war will end

Israeli “leftists”: once the hostages are released annihilate Gaza

It’s patently insane that liberals think people who didn’t vote for Trump are responsible for what Trump does, but people who did vote for Biden are not responsible for what Biden done

🌡️The Arctic is warming rapidly, but not all regions are feeling the heat equally. Greenland’s ice loss accelerates, while Russia’s Arctic shows less dramatic changes but increasing variability. Will this pattern continue?
