Which of the three is best for someone who wants things extremely simple but secure? From what I can tell CasaOS is the simplest, but Cosmos is the most secure, and I think Yunohost falls in the middle?

Hello fine gentlemen, gentlewomen and gentleothers.

I have a Ukrainian keyboard where 2 keys don't match with the Ukrainian layout and, unfortunately, I can't exactly swap them nor edit the firmware or anything of the sort. This is a problem for me because I can't touch type on my own layout let alone a layout I'm still learning where everything is.

Does anyone know a program where I can edit a keyboard layout, preferably graphically (I love CLI and TUIs but this task would be easier graphically for me), on KDE Plasma with wayland?

Thanks in advance

A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck near the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e Sharif early on Monday, killing at least 20 people, injuring hundreds and damaging the city's historic Blue Mosque, authorities said, with the death toll likely to rise.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit at a depth of 28 kilometres near Mazar-e Sharif, which has a population of about 523,000.

At least 20 people were killed and around 320 were injured, Health Ministry spokesperson Sharfat Zaman said, but officials warned the toll could rise as rescue teams reached remote villages in the worst-hit provinces of Balkh and Samangan.

Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, has been spotted at Donald Trump’s Halloween party at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

The mining billionaire, who has never shied from publicly praising the controversial two-time US president, was seen speaking at Trump’s ear while he read a piece of paper in a social media post at the lavish affair at the weekend, as first reported by the Nine newspapers.

The image, posted by the former US attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, also included the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio.

I'm experimenting with where I want to host tech blogs, but I put this short one on Write Freely

https://blog.keyboardvagabond.com/michael-dileos-software-and-tech-blog/longhorns-backup-cost-savings-or-not-getting-surprise-bills

tl;dr - my S3 storage costs were at $26/month more than I expected due to Longhorn (storage volume management for kubernetes) making over 5M s3_list_objects calls. Turning off that polling should fix it.

edit - the polling flag didn’t fix it. I updated the blog with a new approach from a github issue that blocks network access outside of backup hours.

The new operation would include U.S. troops on the ground in Mexico striking drug labs and cartel leaders, according to current and former U.S. officials, though a deployment is not imminent.

The Trump administration has begun detailed planning for a new mission to send U.S. troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to target drug cartels, according to two U.S. officials and two former senior U.S. officials familiar with the effort.

The early stages of training for the potential mission, which would include ground operations inside Mexico, has already begun, the two current U.S. officials said. But a deployment to Mexico is not imminent, the two U.S. officials and one of the former U.S. officials said. Discussions about the scope of the mission are ongoing, and a final decision has not been made, the two current U.S. officials said.

The U.S. troops, many of whom would be from Joint Special Operations Command, would operate under the authority of the U.S. intelligence community, known as Title 50 status, the two current officials said. They said officers from the Central Intelligence Agency also would participate.

Maybe you know you snore like a bear, but you don’t feel much urgency to look into it. Or maybe you have been told to wear a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machine for sleep apnea, but it is just so cumbersome.

A new study shows that it is important to take obstructive sleep apnea seriously now –– it could impact your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease later.

Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea is associated with a greater risk for new microbleeds in the brain, according to the study.

Crises, disasters and war have long been covered in German schools, at least on an abstract, academic level.

Now, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt of the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU) wants training for such scenarios in schools. That includes how to use a fire extinguisher, but also how to respond if a fellow student is injured and how to perform CPR.

"My suggestion is that, once every school year, an extended lesson with older pupils is held that covers various possible threat scenarios and how to prepare for them," he told the Handelsblatt newspaper. How to prepare for crises should be a part of everyday school life, he said.

Generated Summary:

Overall Summary

The host, Sabrina Salvati ("Sabby"), uses the theme "Who's Driving The Bus?" to analyze current events, arguing that the working class are mere "passengers" while elites, billionaires, and special interests (particularly pro-Israel lobbies) are the "drivers" in control. The episode covers foreign policy, domestic politics, and the threat of AI to the workforce, consistently framing issues through a class and power dynamics lens.

8. 14:00.800 - 14:15.500: Theme: Who's Driving The Bus?

  • Content: The central theme of the episode is explicitly introduced. Sabby urges the audience to ask "Who is in control?" for each story.

9. 14:15.500 - 14:26.000: Interaction Reminder

  • Content: A call to action for viewers to like, subscribe, and share the show.

10. 14:28.500 - 35:34.500: Trump Nigeria Threat

  • Content: Analysis of Donald Trump's statement threatening Nigeria over claims of Christian killings.
  • Arguments & Takeaways:
    • Argument: Trump's focus on "radical Islam" in Nigeria is a deliberate tactic to redirect American fear and anger away from Israel and towards Muslims, mirroring the post-9/11 playbook to regain support for Israel.
    • Takeaway: The threat is not based on a genuine humanitarian concern, as Western media and politicians ignore the killings of Muslims in Nigeria. The real motivations are geopolitical and resource-based (oil, minerals).
    • "Who's Driving the Bus?": The US government, pro-Israel interests, and Western media are driving the bus, controlling the narrative while the Nigerian people are powerless passengers.

11. 35:34.500 - 35:40.000: Theme: Who's Driving The Bus?

  • Content: A brief re-statement of the core theme as a transition.

12. 35:40.000 - 1:03:19.500: Corey Booker Confronted & Republican Jewish Coalition

  • Content: Analysis of a Halloween protest where an activist dressed as Netanyahu confronted Senator Corey Booker, combined with footage from the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) leadership summit.
  • Arguments & Takeaways:
    • Argument: The Democratic Party is not a true opposition party to the Republicans on key issues like Israel and billionaire influence. Corey Booker, despite his progressive image, is heavily funded by pro-Israel lobbies (AIPAC) and aligns with them, similar to Republicans.
    • Takeaway: A small, powerful group (like the RJC) has more influence over both parties than the millions of voters. Politicians who defy this group (like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens) are attacked and deplatformed.
    • "Who's Driving the Bus?": AIPAC, the Israeli lobby, and the donor class are driving the bus. Politicians like Corey Booker are willing passengers who choose not to "get off the bus" or "change lanes" for fear of losing support and funding.

13. 1:03:19.500 - 1:03:36.500: Tangents

  • Content: Brief, informal commentary.

14. 1:03:36.500 - 1:25:16.500: Maduro Arms Up

  • Content: Discussion of Venezuela's President Maduro arming civilian militias in response to reported US plans for military strikes.
  • Arguments & Takeaways:
    • Argument: The US threat against Venezuela is about seizing its vast oil reserves, not fighting drug cartels. The "drug cartel" justification is a pretext, similar to past wars for resources.
    • Takeaway: Maduro's move is a defensive preparation for a potential US invasion. The US action would lead to a devastating war and more refugees.
    • "Who's Driving the Bus?": The US government and its desire for resources are driving the bus towards another conflict, with the Venezuelan people and global stability as collateral damage.

15. 1:25:16.500 - 1:25:24.500: Interaction Reminder

  • Content: Another call to action for viewers to like the video.

16. 1:25:27.500 - 2:01:34.000: Elites Secret Plan (AI Deep Dive)

  • Content: A deep dive into Elon Musk's comments on AI and its connection to billionaire investor Bill Ackman.
  • Arguments & Takeaways:
    • Argument: Elites and billionaires are planning a future where AI eliminates most desk jobs, making work "optional" and forcing a government-funded "universal high income."
    • Takeaway: This will cause massive social trauma, increase dependence on the government, and require universal healthcare. The billionaires driving this (like Musk and Ackman) are the same ones opposing social programs and supporting Israel. AI will also allow them to control information and "rewrite history."
    • Connection to Israel: Bill Ackman is presented as a "double threat"—a powerful Zionist and a major AI investor. The genocide in Gaza and future conflicts are framed as part of a depopulation strategy to reduce the number of people reliant on the future universal income.
    • "Who's Driving the Bus?": The billionaire class is driving the bus, planning a future that benefits them at the expense of the working class, whom they see as expendable.

17. 2:01:34.000 - 2:01:44.500: Tangents

  • Content: Brief, informal commentary.

18. 2:01:44.500 - 2:06:03.500: Quick Announcement: Documentary

19. 2:06:03.500 - 2:17:45.400: Good News Story: Universal Childcare in New Mexico

  • Content: Celebration of New Mexico becoming the first state to offer universal, free childcare.
  • Arguments & Takeaways:
    • Argument: This proves that progressive policies can be won at the state level, even when they are blocked federally.
    • Takeaway: The fight for a better life for the working class should focus on state and local ballot measures, which are less influenced by party politics and big money.
    • "Who's Driving the Bus?": In this case, "the people" are driving the bus, demonstrating that change is possible from the ground up.

20. 2:17:45.400 - 2:17:54.500: Tangents

  • Content: Brief, informal commentary.

21. 2:17:54.500 - 2:50:14.200: Tatum Wakes Up (Officer Tatum vs. Nick Fuentes)

  • Content: Analysis of the feud between conservative commentator Officer Tatum and white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
  • Arguments & Takeaways:
    • Argument: Officer Tatum's complaint about Fuentes's racism is hypocritical because Tatum consistently supports Israel, which Sabby labels a "racist, genocidal state."
    • Takeaway: You cannot condemn racism against yourself while supporting what you frame as racism and genocide against others. Tatum is a "passenger" on the right-wing bus for profit and is now facing the consequences of aligning with that movement.
    • "Who's Driving the Bus?": Officer Tatum is not driving his own bus; he is a passenger who has chosen a lucrative but morally compromised seat. He is unwilling to "drive the bus" himself by condemning Israel.

22. 2:50:14.200 - 2:50:57.000: Upcoming Live Show Announcement

  • Content: Preview of the next live show covering election night results and the genocide in Sudan.

I had 4.902 emails from subscribed and unsubscribed websites/services, and I took the chance to delete most of them today. I ended up deleting 4.288 emails, leaving me with 614.

The most emails where from Sobeys, Cineplex, Doctor Who, IMDB and Microsoft, which I unsubscribed for good. I have 3 emails, a personal, outlook(image) more generic and gmail for spams and deals.

I'm really interested to know how others manage their bulk emails.

Okay so Lucifer obviously upset his sky-daddy, is demoted from being an angel permanently, is cast down to rule an entire sector of the afterlife called Hell which we come to know where all damned souls go after they die.

What is the logic of God practically awarding Lucifer an entire realm for him to rule on his own and nearly contest God's power?

That's like imprisoning someone to home confinement when they live in a mansion.

“Q3 was a strong quarter,” Huffman said on Thursday’s earnings call, in which he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet): “Reddit is in a unique position; we’re not trying to be the next anything. We’re focused on being the best version of ourselves and what the internet needs most: a place where people can connect on almost any topic and find genuinely useful information.”

✅ Required age verifications by operating system and app store providers to help prevent children from accessing inappropriate or dangerous content online.

✅ Social media warning labels to help warn young users about the harms associated with extended use of social media platforms.

✅ Stronger penalties for deepfake pornography by expanding the cause of action to allow victims, including minors, to seek civil relief of up to $250,000 per action against third parties who knowingly facilitate or aid in the distribution of nonconsensual sexually explicit material.

✅ Guidance to prevent cyberbullying through requiring the California Department of Education (CDE), on or before June 1, 2026, to adopt a model policy on how to address reported acts of cyberbullying that occur outside of school hours, and requires local educational agencies to adopt the resulting policy or a similar policy developed with local input.

✅ Clear accountability for harm caused by AI technology by preventing those who develop, alter, or use artificial intelligence from escaping liability by asserting that the technology acted autonomously.

"A 55-year-old man is in a critical condition after suffering severe injuries to his arms and legs when he was mauled by his pet dog inside his Camperdown home. Six ambulance crews rushed to the apartment on Pyrmont Bridge Road about 10am on Monday after reports of the attack. The large dog is one of three that lived inside the home."

I imagine it would be a matching engine that projects can apply to their own specific needs. Or are the brains of DoorDash and Uber already open source, like how most of the WWW runs on FOSS?
