Ukraine’s commander in chief Oleksandr Syrskyi is widely expected to lose his job amid signs that Volodymyr Zelenskyy has bowed to pressure from protesters and will reshuffle the army’s top leadership.

A former United Nations investigations chief has accused the International Criminal Court’s executive body of subjecting Prosecutor Karim Khan to a “stitch-up” in their decision to suspend him from office over misconduct allegations.

Ben Swanson is a former UN assistant secretary-general and deputy head of the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), and has previously served as director of the OIOS Investigations Division.

Swanson criticised the bureau for choosing to disregard the judicial panel and to make its own conclusion and credibility assessments saying that the evidence of serious misconduct reached the required standard.

“The Bureau in determining credibility did not act with the same legal restraint as the Panel, declaring themselves unrestricted, and by using semantic gymnastics promptly used the same material as was available to the Judges, with the addition of more submissions from the Prosecutor and [the complainant], although they discounted the latter’s, to enable them to make credibility assessments,” the expert wrote.

Cross-posted from "My selfhosting setup so far" by @innocentz3r0@programming.dev in !selfhosted@lemmy.world

Hey everyone! I'm sort of still green for selfhosting, but I wanted to share my setup so far:

The following services are selfhosted in docker

• Audiomuse (smart music tagging, mood based and all that)
• Navidrome for music hosting
• Jellyfin for TV shows (not a lot) and Films (not a lot again, but steadily increasing)
• Radicale for serving contacts/TODOs/calendar
• SFTPGo to act as my drive
• Kavita for ebooks and manga (I have tons of both)
• Glance for homepage
• forgejo for git forge hosting

The system specs are kind of visible in the homepage, so I won't spell them out here again. Mostly an old optiplex running arch, though I want to change it to nixos later on.

System tools:

• nushell for shell
• calibre for ebook management and tagging + fanficfare plugin to download fanfictions
• Caddy for reverse proxy (so I don't have to remember ports)
• netbird for VPN (also because it allows me to set wildcard DNS resolution for nodes, so I don't have to set up a dedicated pi-hole or adguard)
• Handbrake and ffmpeg for processing videos and such
• beets for tagging music
• a sysinfo script to generate system information for glance to consume
• Probably other things too, I'm forgetting

Everything is accessible only via netbird, and external inbound connections are firewalled off

Apart from that, I eventually plan on adding the following as well:

• Immich for photo hosting
• Vaultwarden for passwords
• Gollum (still debating on alternatives) for a webUI for my notes
• Paperless-NGX

I'm still thinking on more that I can add. Note that whatever I add should not need an inbound connection/stable IP address, since I don't intend to expose the server to the public. Any suggestions/tips? Thanks!

UPDATE: Forgot to add, I'd probably add homebox too, for inventory management 😅

UPDATE 2: I'm silly, I forgot that I'm also looking into self-hosted RSS feed readers 😆

It's not a topic people here care to discuss much, wary of feeding Russian propaganda.

But the latest National Police Service report recorded more than 600 assaults on recruitment officers to date and warned that the aggression has become "increasingly threatening".

The first big alert came in April when several recruiters were stabbed, one fatally. Then this month in Lviv, some 200 protesters surrounded officers attempting to detain a suspected draft dodger and smashed and overturned their car.

The riot made headlines as President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned violence against serving soldiers.
