Hey it's more than good enough to run all this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The U.S. demanded Wednesday that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz after the Islamic Republic closed the waterway in response to Israeli attacks against the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon. Iran’s move cast doubt over whether an already precarious ceasefire to end more than a month of war would hold.

The United States and Iran both claimed victory after reaching the agreement, and world leaders expressed relief, even as more drones and missiles hit Iran and Gulf Arab countries. Israel intensified its attacks in Lebanon, hitting several commercial and residential areas in Beirut without warning. At least 112 people were killed and hundreds were wounded in one of the deadliest days in the latest Israel-Hezbollah war.

The fresh violence threatened to scuttle what U.S. Vice President JD Vance called a “fragile” deal.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it will deliver a "regret-inducing response" if Israeli strikes on Lebanon don't stop immediately, state media reports

Israel and the US say Lebanon is not included in a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran. PM Benjamin Netanyahu says today Israel delivered "the greatest blow" to Hezbollah since the start of its ground operation in Lebanon

For the past month, Iddo Elam has been gathering with fellow Israeli radical left activists in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square to protest the war with Iran. As dissent spreads to the political center and these anti-war demonstrations expand, demonstrators face violent crackdowns by Israeli police — while opposition lawmakers are still nowhere to be seen. Also:

• 'They already shoot us for no reason. Now they have a death penalty'

Dario Sanchez, 32, shared in interviews with KERA News his perspective on the charges he's facing related to a shooting that occurred outside the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4, 2025. Sanchez was not at the shooting but has been arrested three times in connection.

The 19th and final defendant, Lucy Fowlkes, was arrested in January and charged with two counts of hindering prosecution of terrorism. She is alleged to have helped delete messages and remove people from group chats. Prosecutors allege that the deleted messages contained evidence of planning the incident and planning to help Song evade arrest and “by extension, [to] hinder prosecution of terrorism.”

Here is the actual criminal complaint for Lucy Fowlkes: https://prairielanddefendants.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/980161192-Lucy-Fowlkes-Criminal-Complaint.pdf

Her messages giving instructions on how to delete messages are used as evidence of her charges.

Here is a relevant excerpt from the arrest warrant affidavit for another Prairieland defendant Janette Goering, written by Johnson County detective William J. Reilly:

1. Kent and Sharp indicated the arrangement to meet at the Murphy’s USA was conducted via signal chats. Signal is an end-to-end encrypted chat commonly used with intent to mitigate digital footprint and have conversations that have the ability to be deleted and unrecoverable. I know based on my training and experience the individuals who utilize end-to-end encrypted chats to be engaged in criminal activity, whether it be a conspiracy to commit a criminal offense or sharing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Iranian state media is reporting that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, which have continued today.

Israel has said a ceasefire struck between the U.S. and Iran late yesterday doesn't include its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, where it launched its largest co-ordinated strike in the war to date.The Lebanese Health Ministry said 112 people have been killed today.

Most stranded oil and gas tankers remained inside the Persian Gulf.

I have a OnePlus5T that runs PostmarketOS (console, no GUI). I use pmbootstrap to flash the image and it serves me well for the most part. To make the internet connection more stable, I wish to connect the phone to the router using an Ethernet adapter.

I have borrowed a Porttonics Ethernet 8in1 adapter and works well on other stock android phones. I can use ethernet nicely and surf sites on those phones

I seem to be unable to do this with Postmarket OS. Based on what i have read, I think the kernel needs to be tweaked so it can connect and work with the router. Does anyone know how to do this?

(This is my second post on this topic. Apologies).

When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that's not fair!

I am looking for an alternative to the Youtube app. I heard a lot of recommendations about New Pipe but on F droid there are so many flavors. Which one to pick?
