I think one of my package is interacting wrongly with TRAMP and it is too often freezing. It is difficult to debug as it freezes totally and quite annoying as I cannot interrupt with C-g. Are there options to run tramp in a way it does not collapse the whole emacs? I could then try to guess which package interact with it by deactivating/activating them...

It seems to work properly if I open emacs with emacs -Q

For a few years I'm noticing more and more weird and unexplainable behaviour in Outlook. We support mostly 365 Exchange Online clients on Windows workstations or RDS environments.

The amounts of unexplainable bullshit we face is staggering. Outlook not being able to open the folder set, weird MFA glitches, weird bugs in the UI and downright weird errors coming from nowhere is some of the stuff we face weekly.

Am I alone on this?

So like many of us, is started out small, and have been progressing to needing more storage. Right now, I have 2 synology nas devices and a lot of random external drives (yay adhd).

My question is, when i need more space again, should I buy another nas, or try upgrading my drives to larger ones? The issue is find with upgrading is i wont have a way to move all my files from the smaller drives to the larger drives.

I was also thinking I should have another server or something to back up both my existing nas. Not sure. I worry im not doing it right.

💔 Dear friends, we are exhausted… the pain has become greater than words 💔 Please, help me and my family. We are going through very difficult times, trying to hold on each day, but the fatigue has overwhelmed us. Any support from you, no matter how small, means life and new hope for us 🙏😭 https://gofund.me/1222af19

The paramilitary RSF reportedly killed more than 450 people in a hospital and carried out ethnically targeted killings of civilians and sexual assaults while seizing the city last week. It had besieged el-Fasher for 18 months, cutting off most food and other supplies needed by tens of thousands of people.

The RSF has denied committing atrocities, but testimonies from those fleeing, online videos and satellite images offer an apocalyptic vision of their attack. The scope of the violence remains unclear because communications are poor in the region.

The United States has become completely unhinged, says Chris Hedges. There's only one way to stop Trump, by re-empowering the popular movements that were disembowled by him

Generated Summary:

Overall Summary: In this interview, Chris Hedges argues that the United States is rapidly descending into an authoritarian state under Donald Trump. He asserts that while liberal institutions like the Democratic Party and the New York Times correctly identify the threat, they are complicit because they refuse to endorse the only viable solution: mass popular mobilization. Hedges contends that these institutions fear a genuine popular movement would displace them along with Trump, preferring to protect their own privilege even as democratic norms collapse. The discussion outlines twelve key indications of this authoritarian shift, weaving them into an analysis of foreign policy recklessness and domestic repression.

Detailed Segment Outline

Segment 1: [00:00 - 01:35] Introduction: Global Recklessness and Impulsive Leadership

• Key Points: Introduction of Chris Hedges. Discussion of Trump's impulsive and unfocused foreign policy, including potential invasions of Venezuela and Nigeria.
• Arguments: Trump and his administration are "buffoonish" and lack the understanding or capacity to manage the global consequences of their actions. The so-called ceasefire in Gaza is a "slow-walk," with violence continuing and aid blocked.

Segment 2: [01:35 - 03:05] The Unhinged State and Constitutional Breakdown

• Key Points: The proposal to resume nuclear weapons testing passes without major outcry, signaling a numbed political climate.
• Arguments: Hedges states the U.S. has become "completely unhinged," with a subservient Congress and an imperial presidency violating constitutional norms.

Segment 3: [03:05 - 05:25] The Authoritarian Blueprint and Liberal Complicity

• Key Points: Reference to a New York Times article listing the "12 indications" of authoritarianism [https://web.archive.org/web/20251104022430/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/10/31/opinion/trump-autocracy-democracy-report.html]. The failure of the Democratic Party and its "vapid, celebrity-driven campaign."
• Arguments: The core argument is presented: the liberal elite recognizes the problem but refuses to support mass mobilization—the only true remedy—because it would end their own power and status, making them "full partners in our emerging police state."
  • Indication 1: An Obsequious and Complicit Legislature.
  • Indication 2: Consolidation of Executive Power (Imperial Presidency).
  • Indication 3: Neutralization of the Political Opposition.
  • Indication 4: Liberal Elite Complicity for Self-Preservation.

Segment 4: [05:25 - 08:57] Domestic Police State and Official Racism

• Key Points: The militarization of police, the terrorizing of communities (e.g., Chicago raid), and explicitly white supremacist immigration policies.
• Arguments: The tyranny the U.S. imposed abroad is now being imposed on its own population. The state apparatus is being used to enforce a nakedly racist and xenophobic agenda.
  • Indication 5: Militarization of Domestic Policing.
  • Indication 6: Official Embrace of White Supremacist Policies.
  • Indication 7: Purges of State Institutions.
  • Indication 8: Establishment of Concentration Camps.

Segment 5: [08:57 - 11:52] Media Manipulation, Institutional Decay, and a Third Term

• Key Points: Discussion of media consolidation by figures like Musk and Murdoch, Trump's lawsuits against the press, gerrymandering, and Trump's desire for a third term.
• Arguments: The architecture of democracy is being deliberately dismantled. The media is being consolidated to suppress dissent, elections are being structurally manipulated, and the norm of peaceful power transfer is under direct threat.
  • Indication 9: Corporate-State Media Consolidation to Suppress Dissent.
  • Indication 10: Weaponization of the Law Against Critics.
  • Indication 11: Gerrymandering to Permanently Entrench Power.
  • Indication 12: Open Abandonment of Democratic Norms (Third Term).

Segment 6: [11:52 - 19:28] Shifting Alliances and Military Adventurism as Late-Stage Symptoms

• Key Points: The shift of some right-wing figures (Owens, Carlson) against Israel. The analysis of potential invasions of Venezuela and Nigeria as "disastrous forms of military adventurism."
• Arguments: These foreign policy debacles are characteristic of a "late empire" accelerating its own decline. Hedges concludes by comparing Trump to a "crazy banana dictator" like Trujillo or Papa Doc Duvalier, underscoring the complete erosion of democratic leadership.

Australia's spy chief has warned anti-immigration rallies are being exploited by neo-Nazi groups and "Russian operatives" to sow discord, as the country faces a trend seen across Western democracies of declining trust and rising disinformation.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation's director-general of security, Mike Burgess, said on Tuesday community cohesion is under attack in an unprecedented way.

...

ASIO is investigating pro-Russian social media influencers who are working with an offshore media organisation to condemn Australia's support for Kyiv, while also using "social media to spread vitriolic, polarising commentary on anti-immigration protests and pro-Palestinian marches", he said.

...

Australia in August expelled Iran's ambassador and said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had directed two anti-Semitic attacks in Australia by using intermediaries.

...

Such efforts were achieving "limited traction", he added, pointing to the stabilising impact of Australia's social-welfare safety net, compulsory voting and growing economy.

While social media algorithms are accelerating extremism and raising the risk of violence, it is people who create the content and decide to act on it, Burgess said.

"I worry we risk creating real world 'aggro-rhythms' where grievance, intolerance, polarisation and rhetoric feed on themselves," he said.
