Since winter began, Saber has lived in constant fear. Their fragile tent offered little protection from rain or wind, and he knew it could collapse at any moment.

Two weeks earlier, rainwater had already flooded the tent, reaching nearly 30cm. His daughters fell ill with colds that lasted for days. Desperate to prevent it from happening again, Saber borrowed money from one of his relatives to buy a plastic tarpaulin and reinforced the tent with wooden poles.

But when the latest storm hit Gaza a few days ago, his efforts proved useless.

“I spent the first night of the rain holding the tent up with my own hands as rain poured in from every direction,” Saber told Middle East Eye.

“It felt like I had done nothing at all. The tent collapsed on us in the first hours of the rain.”

Last Wednesday, Palestinian teenager Owais Hammam was on a walk near his home in the West Bank village of Kharbatha Bani Harith, when he was ambushed by a group of Israeli settlers, dragged to a hilltop outpost, and beaten unconscious. From his hospital bed in Ramallah, Hammam spoke to photojournalist Faiz Abu Rmeleh, recounting how both settlers and Israeli soldiers took part in his brutal torture.

For the past 3 or so months I've been noticing entries in Suricata that concern me. Maybe they are benign, but figured I'd throw this out there and see if anyone has/is experiencing this.

There is a pattern to these entries. All of them are listed as 'PROTOCOL-ICMP Destination Unreachable Network Unreachable'. But it's like there is a cron that fires this off once every hour and 5 +/- minutes.

These ip ranges are usually from China, Romania, and Singapore. The biggest 'offender' being China:

203.119.27.1 was found in our database!
This IP was reported 11 times. Confidence of Abuse is 1%:
ISP 	China Internet Network Information Center
Usage Type 	Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit
ASN 	AS24406
Hostname(s) 	c.dns.cn
Domain Name 	cnnic.cn
Country 	🇨🇳 China
City 	Shanghai, Shanghai 

Thing is, these ip's are usually what I consider 'clean'. Not a lot of abuse reports. On the surface, I know what 'PROTOCOL-ICMP Destination Unreachable Network Unreachable' means. Pretty self explanatory. What I'm trying to figure out is the why part.

I have gone through my logs, monitored for any calls to these ip's from inside the network, and I come up empty. Nothing within my network, whether server or other devices, is requesting data from these ip's. I have no cron set to do such on a hour and 5 minute interval.

So I'm left wondering, is this normal network chatter? Perhaps scraping attempts? Or perhaps breach attempts. So, I sit at the feet of the network experts to be schooled and see if I have something misconfiguration, or if it's nothing to be worried about, or what the devil is going on.

You're not a third worldist you're 16 and instead of going outside you're online all day calling people social fascists for like zohran.

Brain no work. I got nothing for a title and idk what it actually is

As Chileans vote on Sunday, even detractors of ultra-conservative former lawmaker José Antonio Kast say the candidate whose radical ideas lost him the past two elections is likely to become the country’s next leader.

Kast’s commanding lead in the polls over his rival in the presidential runoff, communist Jeannette Jara, shows how the hard-liner agitating for mass deportations of immigrants has seized the mantle of the traditional right in a country that once defined its post-dictatorship democratic revival with a vow to contain such political forces.

I thought that Vaultwarden install was going to be a little simpler but after having consulted a few guides here and there its maybe less straightforward than I thought.

My use-case is to use it on may internal LAN only with not access from outside whatsoever. In theory, http should be fine, but as this tool will contain quite a bit of sensitive data, I can see why it may be a good idea to go https. Are most of you internal users only setting up https?

My network is behind a pfSense setup that uses unbound to resolve all DNS. Locally, all my DNS requests are being forwarded on the subnet I will have Vaultwarden installed.

• First question is whether for internal network use only, I need to go https.
• Second question is whether I need to follow this guide?

More than a third of Tuvalu citizens have entered the ballot for a world-first climate visa which would allow them to permanently migrate to Australia.

Opening for the first intake on 16 June, the influx of registrations could indicate that programme will be hugely oversubscribed, with only 280 visas awarded to Tuvalu citizens from the random ballot each year.

"Almost 6,700 American nationals had applied for a visa to work, be with family or study in the Netherlands by the end of November this year, according to immigration service figures, and that is by far the highest number in the past 10 years.

The total is likely to be higher once December, traditionally a busy month, is taken into account, current affairs programme Nieuwsuur reported at the weekend. (...)

Asylum requests submitted via the IND are also rising, with over 60 since the beginning of this year, compared with around 20 in the whole of 2024. Most are from members of the LGBTQ+ community fleeing repression under Trump."
