Three way fight politics argues that the far right grows out of an oppressive capitalist order but is also in conflict with it in real ways, and that radicals need to combat both. We’ll discuss the history of this perspective and how it can help us navigate today’s struggles, from anti-police riots to confronting the MAGA movement, drawing on the new collection of essays and interviews from PM Press and Kersplebedeb Publishing.

As It Enters Its 32nd Year: Oslo Provided Cover for Occupation Policies and Stands as an Obstacle to the National Program
As the Oslo Accords enter their 32nd year, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine issued a statement describing the obligations imposed on the Palestinian Authority as the “major obstacle” with the occupation, hindering the national struggle for legitimate national rights, represented in freedom, independence, and return.
The statement added: The Democratic Front had warned from the moment of signing the Oslo Accords that it was a coup against the Palestinian national project, providing political cover for the disgraceful acts of the “israeli” occupation such as arrests, killings, house demolitions, displacement, land confiscation, and settlement expansion.
The Democratic Front added: After 32 years of the Oslo Accords, achieving national rights through the agreement and its obligations has become impossible, especially in light of the exposed “israeli” strategies that no longer require explanation. The situation in the West Bank, including Al-Quds, the Gaza Strip, and the right of return for refugees, clearly indicates that the Oslo obligations are still imposed solely on the Authority, and its choices and bets remain centered around false promises that paralyze all efforts to break free from the Oslo predicament. The aim is to move through steadfast field and institutional unity towards an alternative option as decided by the Central Council (2015), the National Council (2018), and reaffirmed by the Central Council (2022). This involves reconsidering the relationship with the occupation and aggression state, politically, security-wise, and economically.
The Democratic Front emphasized that the claim of Oslo’s death and the end of security coordination is contradicted by daily realities. It clarified that the “israeli” side has abandoned its commitments under Oslo, while the Authority has held on to its choices and bets, whose political corruption the realities have confirmed. The Authority has adhered to Oslo and its obligations, maintaining its political stance despite a clear challenge to the national will, which has been expressed by our people through their legitimate and legislative institutions and in dialogues held in Moscow, Beijing, and previously in Algiers and Cairo.
1. Accelerating the implementation of the Beijing Declaration’s outcomes by convening an immediate meeting of the temporary and unified leadership framework to lead the struggle and form a national unity government from active and competent individuals, ensuring the unity of the Palestinian state’s land and blocking alternative solutions.
2. Activating the unified national leadership in the West Bank and developing fieldwork plans to organize the popular movement and form committees to defend the land, villages, and cities, supported by Palestinian Security Forces liberated from Oslo and its obligations. This also includes providing elements of popular steadfastness politically, socially, and economically in the face of the decisive battle waged by the “israeli” fascist government.
3. Working diligently to stop “israeli” hostilities in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank through an agreement that leads to the withdrawal of occupation forces from Palestinian land within the 1967 borders, linked to a serious and meaningful political process that leads to an international conference on the Palestinian cause. The conference’s results would ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with Al-Quds as its capital, guarantee the right of return for refugees to their homes, and launch an international project to rebuild what the occupation destroyed in Gaza. This would close the door on forced or voluntary migration and complete Palestine’s accession to international institutions and agencies, including obtaining full membership in the United Nations.
The Democratic Front concluded its statement by calling for strengthening national unity in the field, asserting that abolishing the Oslo Agreement and halting its obligations and commitments is the obligatory entry point to transitioning to the national strategy endorsed by Palestinian legitimacy in its National and Central Councils and reaffirmed by national dialogues, with the latest being the Beijing Declaration outcomes.

New Linux Malware Campaign Exploits Oracle Weblogic to Mine Cryptocurrency

No joke. I'm ashamed to say I have had to endure Weblogic in the past. God was that time a massive clusterfuck.
The company I worked for decided to use two particular separate products (frameworks, specifically; ATG and Endeca, even more specifically) to use in tandem in a rewrite of the company's main e-commerce application. Between when we signed on the dotted line and when we actually started implementing things, Oracle acquired the companies behind both products in question.
The company should have cut their losses, run away screaming, and started evaluating other options. That's not what happened. Instead, they doubed-down and also adopted several other Oracle products (Weblogic and Oracle Linux on (shudder) Exalogic servers) because that's, of course, what Oracle recommended to use with the two products in question. The company also contracted with Oracle-licensed "service integration" companies that made everything somehow even worse.
And the e-commerce site rewrite absolutely crashed and burned in the most gloriously painful way possible. They ended up throwing away tens of millions of dollars and multiple years on it.
When the e-commerce site rewrite did happen, it was many years later and used basically only FOSS technologies. I guess at least they learned their lesson. Until the upper management turns over again.

(Of course, when the price of crypto takes an upturn, sometimes it might get profitable again. And I'd imagine there are people mining it even when the price is low banking on the idea that it'll spike again and they can sell it.)

Open Source Everything: A curated list of the best open source software
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/20306561
Hi everyone! For... I guess over a year now? I've been observing and trying out lots of software recommended by the privacy community and internet as a whole. With that time, I've been able to slowly put together a list of all the software I personally believe to be the best for their own various reasons. I finally have enough to be able to share it with all of you!I'm also looking for feedback. I haven't tried all the software on that list, and I'm sure there's software I've never heard of that needs added. I'm looking for your feedback on what you think should be added, removed, or changed. That includes the list itself, if you think there are any design improvements.
Do note: Any software marked with a ⭐️ I am not looking for feedback on. This is software that I firmly believe is the best of the best in its category, and likely will not be changed. However, if there is a major issue with the software that you can provide direct proof of, then there is a chance it will be changed in the next release. There are no grantees.
The sections marked with ℹ️ are lacking, and can use your help! Some software there may not be the best one, or may have many software or sections missing. I am absolutely looking for help and feedback here, and would love your help!
My goal with this project is to help people find the best software from many standpoints, and to prove that there really are good open source alternatives for almost anything! I hope this helps someone, and I look forward to your feedback!
Thank you all for reading and taking the time to look through my list!

US is about to approve deep strikes into Russia. The difference here from previous escalations is that the strikes would have to be done by NATO personnel. Russia stated that it would consider this to be a direct act of war by NATO against Russia because it would be NATO troops launching strikes into Russia. At that point we are effectively in WW3 between NATO and Russia.

Thank you! I read most of the first one and skimmed the second -- I don't get why they strikes would need to be done by NATO personnel.
Both articles allude to the fact that Putin considers it to be an attack by NATO because they'd be NATO-supplied weapons, but given his track record, he'd probably say anything more than turning a blind eye is an offense by NATO.
The strikes have to be done by NATO personnel because these missiles use NATO satellite guidance, and are designed to only be operated by military personnel of the respective countries. This was earlier confirmed by Scholtz as a justification for not sending taurus missiles to Ukraine, and the leaked conversation of German officers.
Western media omits the important part of the statement, but If you listen to what he says, he's specifically talking about NATO personnel operating the weapons

Nato is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one. The only way it could be perceived as a “threat” by Russia is id Russia had intention of expanding in that direction.
And what happened to the self-determination of countries, if countries like, say, Sweden and Finland want to join NATO as additional defence against a militaristic expansionist Russia, that is absolutely their right.

The same way the US would end the world if Russia started building bases in Mexico. In fact, this exact scenario already happened during the Cuban missile crisis. Anybody who keeps peddling the notion that Russia should just accept NATO encroachment is deeply intellectually dishonest.
It's obvious to everyone with even a minimally functioning brain that Russia isn't just going to pack up and go home after nearly three years of war. Especially given that Russia is very obviously winning the war at this point. NATO has a choice to accept reality that they lost or to start a nuclear holocaust. It's pretty clear that there are plenty of imbeciles living in NATO countries who would prefer the latter.
Meanwhile, this whole narrative of appeasement is the height of bullshit. Everybody appeased the US and NATO when they invaded Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, and countless other countries. The US currently occupies a larger percentage of Syria than Russia is of Ukraine. The appeasement just means that NATO has to accept that another country is doing what NATO does regularly.

What are you even talking about. This all started back in the 90s, and has been going on since. In fact, plenty of western experts have been warning about NATO expansion for many decades. This only became controversial to mention after the war started. Here's what Chomsky has to say on the issue recently:
truthout.org/articles/us-appro…
truthout.org/articles/noam-cho…
::: spoiler 50 prominent foreign policy experts (former senators, military officers, diplomats, etc.) sent an open letter to Clinton outlining their opposition to NATO expansion back in 1997:
:::
::: spoiler George Kennan, arguably America's greatest ever foreign policy strategist, the architect of the U.S. cold war strategy warned that NATO expansion was a "tragic mistake" that ought to ultimately provoke a "bad reaction from Russia" back in 1998.
:::
::: spoiler Jack F. Matlock Jr., US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991, warning in 1997 that NATO expansion was "the most profound strategic blunder, [encouraging] a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threat [...] since the Soviet Union collapsed"
:::
Even Gorbachev warned about this. All these experts were marginalized, silenced, and ignored. Yet, now people are trying to rewrite history and pretend that Russia attacked Ukraine out of the blue and completely unprovoked.
Anybody who pretends that this all started in 2014 is deeply intellectually dishonest.

This sort of obviously emotionaly driven vitriol makes it look like you want people to belive this regardless of if it truth as you feel it serves an important goal.

I don't know or really care who's right because it's meaningless but you certainly don't look like the person with a valid position here.
Who said it was an acceptable scenario? That's not been suggested.
You're saying we should belive any story that makes nuclear war sound even worse than it obviously is regardless of its scientific accuracy. Science should be objective truth not whatever serves the agenda you're trying to push, even if it's objectives are good.
No, I'm saying that we should seriously consider peer reviewed research on the likely effects of a nuclear war. Meanwhile, a bunch of idiots here are claiming that western peer reviewed research is Russian propaganda. The fact that you're claiming that I'm the one pushing an agenda is fascinating.
By the way, my agenda is pretty simple. I don't want to die in a nuclear holocaust. The more idiots try to downplay the horror of a nuclear war the closer we all get to one.
Peer reviewed science gets overturned by other peer reviewed science all the time, the other person also had peer reviewed science so you don't get to just wave yours and win.
And yes your agenda is very obvious, you take the side of not wanting to be in a nuclear war - I think that's pretty much a universally agreed upon position.
However you also have another facet to your opinion which is almost as universally disagreed with as your other position is agreed with - you think that science should be falsified so it seems to provide answers which suit your social and political aims rather than it being an effort to understand the world and reach a truthful and valid conclusion.
You were very aggressive and rude to someone who did nothing more than provide more context and dissenting evidence in a discussion about science, that's not a good way to behave.
Peer reviewed science gets overturned by other peer reviewed science all the time, the other person also had peer reviewed science so you don’t get to just wave yours and win.

Frankly, I see nothing wrong with being aggressive and rude towards people spreading dangerous nonsense calling research they disagree with Russian misinformation. It's interesting how you went after me and not the other poster.
Okay, pseudonymous person on the internet, I’ll definitely take your word for it over a peer reviewed Nature paper.

So, a population of 3 billion afterward? That's what our population was in 1960.
A lot of people conflate "the end of our comfortable familiar civilization" with "the end of humanity as a species, woe, all shall perish."

It's very straightforward math based on the article you posted. It's not saying that a nuclear war wouldn't be bad, or shouldn't be avoided. Of course that should be avoided.
My issue is with the people who insist that humanity as a species is at risk from nuclear war. That's the part that's wrong.

it's notable how you "your side" is allowed to be a wide system of dispassionate material interests and power structures involved in seeking to overcome contradictions against its interests in callous yet rational competition; while the "other side" is a single cartoon comic book villain singlehandedly doing 'all the bad things' on an irrational whim for reasons of 'vanity and cruelty' I guess. And its people and their interests and opinions from the rural poor to the college liberal to the oligarch capitalist to the Prime Minister are only relevant to pity or otherwise also one-dimensionally criticize. I hope you analyze the ways in which you are conditioned toward orientalism and myopic essentializing that serves your own "side's" imperialism by not recognizing and erasing the realities of other nations as just as complex and multifaceted as yours.
You're carrying a colonial outlook to distill such a huge and diverse country with a massive population of its 150 different ethnic/national people groups and 20+ autonomous republics and all its various economic interests and players and political trends and history as in Russia to an idealist child's comic book picture of one man's "megalomania". As the west not-so-coincidentally concocts this exact image for every country it tries to overthrow or attack, distilling them to 'one crazy irrational madman dictator who only knows force' and erasing the material existence and interests of the nation and its constituent classes and peoples and the history and context from which these things all arose as they exist. Which is very convenient then for "your side" to make it into whatever it wants.
Do you know what the Duma's structure and role is, its party and factional makeup is and has been, what their members' stances has been on topics like Ukraine since 2014, and what actions Putin has taken in accordance or against what they've been pushing for? Do you think its existence is just for show? You'll be surprised on some points and maybe dig deeper. To really have true understanding of a country you'd have to also dig into the historical, social, political, and economic realities, trends, and topics in the country --- and the contradictions, struggles, and syntheses between them over the years; and go past just 2014 to root these trends in their relevant circumstances experiences, struggles, transition periods, etc. from which they all arrived in their present form, on both a structural and people level. Optimally bolstered by some culture studies and language.
But learning about the RF's federal governmental structure, and the Duma, and then the differences between the statements and actions of the Duma vs the Russian President's statements and actions since 2014 is a starting point to start chipping away at this cartoon caricature notion you have, which is not rooted in reality. For any country on the planet. And you know this about your own country, but don't extend the same humanity and respect toward other countries. It's a very US American thing. Maybe if you don't have the language skills you can also machine translate some stuff that they say themselves in their statements and speeches and congresses rather than dubbed 8 second snippets followed by 10 minutes of punditry on CNN too. And that's just politics --- history and economy is important too. And never forget about the people on the ground. In who they actually are, not who you've decided they are, or your media has told you they are.

This comes from a long line of shoddy "research" exaggerating potential effects of nuclear war. With MAD in place, like it was for the last 70 years, there's no need to make shit up, it'd be as bad as it can be. At first, they tried to convince people that NOx generated in fireball would strip atmosphere out of ozone; when proven wrong with experimental evidence (supersonic airliners generate some NOx; their output was big enough that it should have some effect on ozone layer according to their model, but it had none) they pivoted to "nuclear winter":
Although never openly acknowledged by the multi-disciplinary team who authored the most popular 1980s TTAPS model, in 2011 the American Institute of Physics states that the TTAPS team (named for its participants, who had all previously worked on the phenomenon of dust storms on Mars, or in the area of asteroid impact events: Richard P. Turco, Owen Toon, Thomas P. Ackerman, James B. Pollack and Carl Sagan) announcement of their results in 1983 "was with the explicit aim of promoting international arms control".[91] However, "the computer models were so simplified, and the data on smoke and other aerosols were still so poor, that the scientists could say nothing for certain".[91]
When proven wrong again with empirical evidence of oil fires of 1991 Gulf War, they shut up for some time:
When Operation Desert Storm began in January 1991, coinciding with the first few oil fires being lit, Dr. S. Fred Singer and Carl Sagan discussed the possible environmental effects of the Kuwaiti petroleum fires on the ABC News program Nightline. Sagan again argued that some of the effects of the smoke could be similar to the effects of a nuclear winter, with smoke lofting into the stratosphere, beginning around 48,000 feet (15,000 m) above sea level in Kuwait, resulting in global effects. He also argued that he believed the net effects would be very similar to the explosion of the Indonesian volcano Tambora in 1815, which resulted in the year 1816 being known as the "Year Without a Summer".The idea of oil well and oil reserve smoke pluming into the stratosphere serving as a main contributor to the soot of a nuclear winter was a central idea of the early climatology papers on the hypothesis; they were considered more of a possible contributor than smoke from cities, as the smoke from oil has a higher ratio of black soot, thus absorbing more sunlight.[93]
[101]In a 1992 follow-up, Peter Hobbs and others had observed no appreciable evidence for the nuclear winter team's predicted massive "self-lofting" effect and the oil-fire smoke clouds contained less soot than the nuclear winter modelling team had assumed.
[118]The atmospheric scientist tasked with studying the atmospheric effect of the Kuwaiti fires by the National Science Foundation, Peter Hobbs, stated that the fires' modest impact suggested that "some numbers [used to support the Nuclear Winter hypothesis]... were probably a little overblown."[119]
then came back again hoping that someone would not remember the former and believe them. Even one of authors (Owen B. Toon) is the same, they cite their old papers and use old wrong numbers. This is not somebody trying to figure out how reality works, this is somebody trying to sell you a story. That story tries to make them relevant, but they aren't anymore, and more importantly they're wrong
This all is also before noticing that 70s era nuclear arsenal doesn't even exist anymore, so their predictions lack a plausible starting point in the first place. It's horseshit start to finish

systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for. Gnome had it in the past, MacOS has it, but I don't see what the use case is.
Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application?
That's up to the application.
If not, I'll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for.
I believe this is for storing the position of specific windows, for multi-window applications (e.g. GIMP's multi-window mode). So hibernation is very unrelated.
Gnome like to get things perfect before they make it default. It's what makes Gnome pretty stable, even if it does mean power users have to type in a command to expose the setting in the meantime.
The wait can be frustrating though.

Not trying to clickbait but is this the end for kernel-level anti-cheat?
From the article
Microsoft has officially announced its intent to move security measures out of the kernel, following the Crowdstrike disaster a few short months ago. The removal of kernel access for security solutions would likely revolutionise running Windows games on the Steam Deck and other Linux systems.

As a long time cs gamer I approve of this change but I warn ye regardless that there is no alternative or viable solution to actually stop cheaters right now.
And if you've only heard stories and don't really experience cs (vac kind of does nothing)
Ive kept track of players for months/years who have not been banned. I find it strange that they eventually do get banned several months after cheating. It took one account nearly 2 years to get banned.
I hope that a clever solution comes out, a man can dream right ?
well... you see back in my day we had cool bros in "clans" running their servers mostly paying for it themselves with some donations. admins would boot bad faith actors as needed.
then something happened to that model... and here we are now... FPS genre has no been the same IMHO

The competitive scene happened. Can't have meaningful competitive matchmaking against the same 100 players. People don't just want to frag noobs, they want to grind the ladder to be able to say "I'm GE and you're Gold, therefore I know for a fact I'm better than you".
This is a global phenomenon. Even goddamn chess has this, first thing players ask each other nowadays is "what's your chess.com ELO".
I'm not a competitive player myself but I get why people rush after ELO progression. And it's not much of a stretch to say CS, Valo, and especially chess wouldn't have seen such widespread success without competitive ELO-based matchmaking.

I would argue that Valorant or CS are terrible games for casual enjoyment anyways. The skill floor is already pretty damn high for a shooter.
In the FPS genre I've found Battlebit has faithfully replicated the feel of BF3/BF4 for those of us who just want to run towards the objective and shoot, and it had old school community servers.

Csgo and 2 have a "trust" system to keep track of player behavior and put you in games with others of similar trust value. So if you get reported often or have a history of bad behavior, you're more likely to be put in games with other bad actors, and vice versa. Idk how effective it is though.
Honestly there isn't a great solution, which is kind of why I avoid competitive multiplayer games. Even kernel level anticheats can be circumvented.
The nice thing about vac is that theres pretty much no false positives. And valve will occasionally update it, catching a ton of cheaters off guard and getting them banned.
I just found this thread as well could not be a good thing for us Linux users.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Them announcing something like this looks good PR-wise, so they'll do it, even if they don't actually expect this effort to lead to anything.
But even if they do implement such an API, companies won't start adopting this API until its capabilities are roughly comparable to the kernel-level solution AND it's available on most Windows systems in the wild. So, we're likely talking more than a decade before this sees sufficient adoption...
Yeah, idk why everyone seems to legitimately think devs are going to just quietly revert back to usermode anticheat. I could see Riot patching an actual root kit before that happens.
But yeah, more likely MSFT will lobby for hw that is more annoying than secure boot or TPM to get working with linux, every windows app after that point will rely on it "because turnkey security!", and if you ever manage to disable it none of those apps will work on your machine in any OS (if they even worked through proton at all).
I think I need more info. It seems like userspace is very hackable, so thus kernel level anti-cheat was born to control stuff like synthetic inputs and manipulation of memory / frame analysis. This anti-cheat would be held together by the fact that the kernel/drivers are proprietary and not very easy to edit. Obviously still possible because it's on your own computer, but challenging and invasive. Do I have that right?
In which case I don't see how going back to userspace would help. What is the solution? There probably isn't one outside of hardware (buying a hacking chip and soldering it in is annoying for most)
When I was doing game dev we focussed on AI-style analytics of user behavior. Of course a good enough bot could always look human. A real cat and mouse game wasting lots of time

It’s broadly about harassment and griefing and just shitty behavior mediated by hacking in online games.

What is the solution?
My guess is that Microsoft wants provide some kind of kernel level anti-cheat, possibly directly integrated with directx, and it will use cryptography which will make it impossible to emulate with Wine/Proton.
The same kernel software cryptography could certainly be marketed for single player games and proprietary applications as a solution to piracy.

Once there is a way to properly play VR games without too much configuration, I will jump back to Linux. But for now, Windows 11 IOT edition is not too bad. Specifically the IOT edition without all the telemarketing and CoPilot crap.
VR games work just fine in proton, as long as you're on Vive or Index.
It's the the headsets that don't support linux, unfortunately.
There are a lot of kinks around VR on linux. Wayland has been better in my experience, but I still can't believe SteamVR on linux just doesn't have power management for the base stations implemented. Like, it works, there's a fucking python script that can do it! But not via SteamVR.
I use an app on my phone to turn my base stations on and off.
Here's hoping the Deck and whatever Deckard turns out to be means Valve is in the process of improving the situation.

It did alright, don't think I saw that many obvious cheaters in BF1. BF5 would occasionally have obvious cheaters, but I would hope they get banned eventually just because it's over the top (shooting people through walls, infinite ammo, perfect aim). Difficult to say with more subtle cheats, but I suppose if they're indistinguishable from players who are just good at the game then I think most people won't ever notice.
On the flip side I got permabanned from multiplayer in BF5 after EA falsely accused me of cheating, though I suppose that could've happened with any kind of anti-cheat, and could've been fixed by having half-competent support.
The problem with EA is that they never bothered to moderate their games. In the end you get spinbotters and shit whilst legit players have to deal with rootkits because they're too stingy to pay for someone to review reports and develop moderation tools.
the Overwatch system in Counterstrike (and a bunch of other tools and policies in tandem with VAC) have been way more effective; I was always more certain that a blatant or suspected cheated would be dealt with in CS than in battlefield.
Am I misremembering to think Genshin Impact was a cause of one of these major security disasters?
It wasn’t even people who installed Genshin that were victims - it was like, Microsoft signed a driver made by Mihoyo to scan for cheat apps. But mihoyo, being a game company with a rapid release cycle and imperfect security, had a vulnerability in the driver. So, malware authors could include that driver in their packages to elevate access on Windows installs even when no one had any idea what a Genshin is.
Not quite the same thing as Crowdstrike I guess though.

Cirrus logic gives you 16mb too iirc, then you can use other drivers that give you more,
Qxl does, it's fairly modern.
Otherwise you have virtio and virglrenderer, which are as modern as it gets this side of pcie pass through or intel's sriov.

Because they worry about any other weapon? Or the extremely rare case that someone actually has a highly dangerous fire arm? My point is that they can have much less drastic standard procedures (and equipment), because the standard scenario of operation is significantly less threatening.
There are special forces that get involved with the real shit. But the bar for real shit here is someone has any gun.
Someone calls an emergency number and says "My husband has a knife and he's threatening to kill me!"
Should the operator say "nothing we can do until you provide provide me with some evidence, ma'am" ?
The legal standard in the U.S. is if there's exigent circumstances. Detailed 911 calls are typically sufficient to meet that standard. Not always.
Right now, we cannot tell if the officers did anything unlawful. Need the call recording or call logs, plus the body cameras.
(I think the exigent circumstances standard is BS, easily abused, but that is the current law of the land.)
In the US, property records are public records. Easy to find someone's address online if you know their full name and the county they own property in.
Go try it!
In the US, the cops need RAS to handcuff you. The standard was never and is not "until they know what's going on". And RAS depends on the current cop knowledge. Even if they had legal grounds to break into your place, what they see in the next ten seconds is still relevant. For example, if someone said you attacked them with a knife, when the cops see no victim, knife, or blood, their legal authority ceases.
Of course it's all highly dependent on specific details.
(On traffic stops, often they already have RAS. That's why they pulled you over. So don't be fooled by other comments about that topic.)
I use tabs for indentation then spaces after that if I need to offset a line by a specific amount of chars, such as a multi-line output or something.
Edit: to be specific: pastebin.com/un6iUmEp . Notice how line 3 has one tab, then several spaces before the first non-whitespace character.

This isn't SWAT. Or SEK, since this is Germany.
It's just the usual armed police.
Rene Rebe is doing everything to get some clout.
Kinda sad to see.
"Law enforcement officers typically have fairly broad leeway to place someone in handcuffs during an interaction if they believe that it’s necessary to protect themselves from harm. In those cases, they can do so even if the person being handcuffed hasn’t been arrested."

northernillinoislegalteam.com/…
Handcuffs do not mean an arrest.
He might have even had some dangerous written materials they should have searched his whole house. Or maybe dangerous chemicals hidden in his closet. Or maybe dangerous weapons stuffed in the couch cushions. They should have ransacked the whole place.
Why even endanger themselves going in with just cuffs? Flashbang the guy before he can react with a possibly deadly weapon. Drive a battering ram through his front door it only takes a second to open fire.
Put him under surveillance for a few weeks and collect his whole schedule so you can hit him when it's safe.
Keffals has a bit of a bad stink around her online presence. I think she claimed to be posting sex hormones to underage people at one point, without any kind of medical license. One of the ecelebs on the weirder side of the terminally online subculture.
Obviously no one should ever be swatted. Wanted to mention that she is somewhat controversial though as opposed to a regular activist.
If you have reason to believe someone is in mortal danger, your response shouldn't be to mail a letter giving them 30 days to respond.
You send police to the scene where they secure the potential suspect and make sure there's nothing going on.

/****/for (int i=0; i <10; ++I) {

When they don't self report the ones that are bad, they become bad.
How is that concept difficult for you?
I've been in a similar situation where some agents from the anti terrorism brigade came to my door. Sometimes you just have to shut up and work with them how they see fit.
Nobody was body-slammed, nobody was disrespected, nobody was being held longer than necessary or with excessive force.
This isn't a situation to turn into hate towards the police. Just get over it and don't be a fucking asshole.
The police also knocked and only entered after he answered it sounded like. While certainly armed and probably prepared for something wild, they didn't force entry with guns at the ready.
Once again, mostly comparing to videos of US police interactions, which is kind of weird as a non-USian commenting on a German police interrogation. Would be curious to see an "audit the audit" type review of this.
no way! sherlock, are you going to tell me that water exists next? holy you people watch too many movies. I don't know if you live inner city in some crap us state, or some slum in some third world country but no fucking duh.
Even in the states, cops get reported all the time, the vast majority of times I hear of when cops do get reported and no real disciplinary action is performed, is almost always because it's some crappy city where the police literally can't find anyone to replace them. This is why things like transparency in the process are needed. But lets pretend for a second that most cops in the world are these corrupt maniacs that hollywood likes to make them out to be.
3 really bloody easy steps literally any crappy US state or really any state/country whatever in general could take right now would completely resolve this issue.
- Make bodycam footage of incidents publicly accessible only redacting necessary footage by way of destructive blur and blur only. This will keep the privacy of folk in while still making sure that each and every officer can be held responsible for their actions.
- Make a brief "internal investigation" status publicly available when one occurs, and make all information admissible in court. When you pair this with incident footage from publicly available bodycams. This both protects innocent officers by way of making it abundantly clear that a case is moot, but also prevents internal corruption by making it easy for effected parties to hold corrupt officials responsible via court.
- increase funding for police in an open manor, all expenses should roughly detailed and publicly available, so they can accountably increase spending on things like de-escalation training, non lethal subjugation training whether this be grappling arts, tasers which aren't completely useless, whatever it doesn't matter. Just give them more options and better training.
But no. we can't do this. Because guess what, politicians, democrats and republicans alike for US folk are all greedy assholes who benefit from division. Everyone want's to scream defund the police, or treat the police as some overarching messiahs and either get rid of them wholly, or let them act with impunity. It wouldn't even cost that much money to do the first two points which are the most important ones.
Oh there's several ways, especially if you have poor opsec. People used to raid people's twitch accounts and bring down their internet connections by looking for their username on Skype which had a vulnerability which they could use to find a person's IP.
For swatters on the otherhand, they tend to either know the streamer themselves or they tend to be groups like KiwiFarms who are a lot more organised and do a lot of research and detective work, like looking at the video, looking for usernames elsewhere, looking for emails, and looking for location clues. It's really fucked up. They found Keffels's Motel by the sheets in her room. It's bad enough if you do not think about these things and just have sloppy OpSec, but even if you do, they can still find you.
The first thing is what they did. They knocked on the door, they spoke. At one point he was detained when they had a look about and then they apologised and left.
There was no SWAT (this is Germany so technically it would be a SEK team I guess), there was no flashbangs (why would police even have those?), there were no rifles in faces.

Well, I was amazed by proof systems like Coq or Isabelle, that let one formally verify the correctness of their code. I learnt Coq and coded a few toy projects with it, but doing so felt pretty cumbersome. I looked at other options but none of them had a really good workflow.
So, I attempted to design one from scratch. I tried to understand Coq's mathematical foundation and reimplement it into a simpler language with more familiar syntax and a native compiler frontend. But I rushed through it and turns out I had barely scratched the surface of the theory. Not just regarding the proof system, but also with language design in general.
I did learn a lot though. Since then I've been reading more about proof systems and language design in my spare time, and I've collected quite the stack of notes and drafts. Recently I've begun coding a way more polished version of that project, so on to round two I guess!
Round two, hell yeah.

The biggest 512Gb ssd is on the front (normal) side of the mobo, under a heatsink. The smaller 128Gb is under the mobo, inaccessible once fixed onto the case.
In bios and in OS I can’t see the 512 cache drive, only the 128. Quick RTFM on the motherboard manual states: "Front nvme slot only works with 11th gen cpu".
