The Palestine Action hunger strike is not being televised

"Six political prisoners – held unlawfully for a year or more on remand, & retroactively deemed to be 'terrorists' for trying to stop the Gaza genocide – have been on hunger strike for many weeks in prison. At least one is already seriously ill."

"There has been blanket silence from the media... & barely any coverage of the appalling conditions".

Yes, really fascistic.

More info:

"Death risk" fear for Palestine Action hunger strikers. Six activists have been on hunger strike for between 26 & 35 days after being denied bail. A seventh has joined them.

If I'm still daily-driving #FreeBSD when #16 rolls around (and I hope I will be), someone please remind me to do a ZFS snapshot before upgrading, please? 🤣
in reply to R.L. Dane 🍵

There is also zpool checkpoint man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?zp… if you want to be ultra safe. But bectl should be enough for you at the next major upgrade.
in reply to Jason Tubnor 🇦🇺

I thought that freebsd-update now does an automatic snapshot before upgrading? (my `bectl list` shows a bunch of snapshots I didn't manually make). Are there conditions under which it doesn't? Or did I change some save-my-butt setting to do this automatically?
in reply to Tim Chase

Oh snap, you're right!
How do I boot back into 14.3, then? :O

And which snapshot should I use?

rld@Intrepid:~$ bectl list

in reply to R.L. Dane 🍵

you can change the kernel option in the bootloader at boot time

Such a lifesaver!

in reply to Paul Wilde 😺 (snac2 acct)

yeah, I usually use the boot-loader's "choose a snapshot to boot" menu option, but you can also use bectl to specify "boot $SNAPSHOT next time" with a flag to control "just once" (good for testing) or "I want to boot $SNAPSHOT as my default"

As for which, the most-recent or most-recent-minus-one (#penultimate 😆), something with a date prior to when you upgraded.

in reply to Tim Chase

Ok, I'm a happy nerd. XD
Thank you!!!

Hang on, does activate -T make the current selection permanent, or does it just remove the selection and default to whatever is latest (FreeBSD 15, in my case)?

How do I make the reversion permanent?

activate [-t | -T] beName
          Activate the given beName as the default boot filesystem.  If
          the -t flag is given, this takes effect only for the next boot.
          Flag -T removes temporary boot once configuration.  Without
          temporary configuration, the next boot will use zfs dataset
          specified in boot pool bootfs property.
in reply to R.L. Dane 🍵

If I read it correctly, -t sets the one-boot, and if you decide, no, on the next reboot, I don't want to boot that dataset once, use -T to undo the -t (before rebooting, since rebooting would also clear the boot-once flag because, well, it rebooted once already).

Without -t or -T, just using

# bectl activate $NAME

it would set it for subsequent boots too.

in reply to Tim Chase

Ahhhh, thank you! This is fantastic!!

lol I'm surprised nobody suggested this before, or if they did, I didn't realize they were talking about something that was already done for me automatically, not something I'd have to remember to do before next time. 🤣

in reply to R.L. Dane 🍵

there was a season in which you had to remember to manually snapshot before upgrading and I **never** remembered to do it. The auto-snapshots are such a butt-saver 🥰

Report: "Hamas claims responsibility for assassination of Israeli- backed gang leader in Gaza"

Reportedly, the aim of Shabab's militia - armed & supported by Israel in eastern Rafah - was to establish a so-called “safe zone" for Israel & to weaken the Palestinian resistance.

The group searched Palestinian homes, dismantled resistance devices, killed fighters & seized weapons in coordination with Israel.

Report: "Netanyahu seeks collaborators in Gaza to help Israel tighten its grip"

Netanyahu intends to identify Palestinian anti-Hamas collaborators willing to take over control in the Gaza Strip - "to impose a compliant leadership under Israeli authority."

middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li…

One of Israel's top Palestinian collaborators, Abu Shabab, was recently killed in Gaza.

Report: "Pete Hegseth is under increasing fire for a double-tap strike... in which the US military killed two survivors of the Trump administration’s initial boat strike in the Caribbean on September 2."

Reportedly, Hegseth personally ordered the second strike, saying " Kill everybody.”

"Hegseth’s actions could result in the entire chain of command being investigated for a war crime or outright murder."

Reportedly, Trump is unhappy that Netanyahu is killing the Hamas fighters trapped in Rafah rather than granting them safe passage to a Hamas area or a third country.

Trump aimed to use the surrender option in disarmament negotiations.

Trump asked “Why they were being killed rather than allowed to surrender."

Netanyahu replied that they're “armed & dangerous, so they are being eliminated."

Analysis: In pardoning a narco trafficker, Trump destroys his own case.

Since September, Trump has killed 80+ suspected drug smugglers by blowing up their boats.

But now he's "decided to pardon one of the biggest cocaine traffickers of them all".

Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández was sentenced to 45 years for conspiring to import 500,000 kilos of cocaine into the US.

Trump wants Hernández's party to win the Honduran election.
