I am running grapheneos and got nc from fdroid if it matters. I also use nc on my local network only.

So I could not find logs that pointed to any specific file giving the errors. Still I took the advice that it might have to do with file names. That made me suspect it had to do with my music folder which has some foreign music, so i renamed files with a special character. So far it seems that was it. This was odd because those files have been there and synced for a while, but the message was not happening until recently. Still wanted to update in case someone else has this issue there is some resolution that might be helpful.

It's a gathering where a whole bunch of leftists that have successfully infiltrated the right get together and talk about politics. Major Antifa trans super soldiers who organized the event include Nick Fuentes and Jake Shields.

Infiltrators obviously don't want to give the game up, so they'll probably call it something different when they aren't among friends. America First Political Action Conference could be one example of a made-up name they use to cover for their Antifa activities.

Out of curiosity I even went on to some libertarian subreddits to see how they were discussing it. Not only is it being downplayed, but done a 180 that they even supported Milei to begin with.

Lawmakers and activists across the political spectrum called on American tech firms to stop selling surveillance equipment to Chinese police and for Congress to examine the issue after The Associated Press reported that U.S. technology had played a far greater role than previously known in enabling human rights abuses by Beijing.

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri told AP he wanted to summon tech companies before Congress to address how their technology exports were used. Hawley, a longtime critic of U.S. technology companies, bemoaned Silicon Valley’s general lack of cooperation with Congress on that and similar inquiries.

“I think eventually we’re going to have to subpoena these people,” Hawley said.

In a post on the social media site X this month, Hawley vowed that “Big Tech must cut ties with the CCP - or face my committee,” referring to the ruling Chinese Communist Party. Hawley sits on several Senate panels that might have jurisdiction to examine technology issues

An AP investigation published this month revealed that U.S. technology companies to a large degree designed and built China’s surveillance state. Firms including IBM, Dell, and Cisco sold billions in technology to Chinese police and government agencies, despite repeated warnings that such tools were being used to quash dissent, persecute religious sects and target minorities. Companies named in AP’s reporting said they complied with all export control laws.

Yang Caiying, who told AP for its investigation about how her family was targeted by Chinese surveillance using American technology because of their activism in rural Jiangsu, said she was “shocked by the pivotal role that major U.S. tech companies have played” in her family’s ordeal. Yang is now collecting signatures for petitions urging Washington to bar U.S. firms from selling to Chinese police, both online and on the street.

Other lawmakers from both parties urged Congress to beef up export laws to prevent more American technology from being used to fuel human rights abuses abroad.

“China has been utilizing partnerships with U.S. tech companies to build malignant ‘smart cities’ that are used for mass surveillance and human rights abuses against millions of innocent Chinese people,” said Rep. John Moolenaar, a Michigan Republican who chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. The panel is charged with examining the strategic global competition between the U.S. and China.

“As executives at Nvidia and other American tech companies chase business in China, they cannot deny that their technology will be used to commit atrocities, strengthen China, and weaken America,” Moolenaar said.

Moolenaar called for American companies to work with Congress to write new laws that restrict the export of technologies that enable oppression. and work harder to keep their products from being smuggled into China.

When Moore shot at Ford with a .38 revolver, narrowly missing Ford, Sipple dove towards her and grabbed her arm;[8] [...] Initial news reports noted that Sipple was a former Marine, but did not mention that he was gay.[10] [...] two phone messages identifying Sipple as gay. One was from Reverend Ray Broshears, the head of a gay activist group called the Lavender Panthers.[12] The other was from local gay activist Harvey Milk, a friend of Sipple on whose city council campaign Sipple had worked.[12] Milk wanted to portray Sipple as a "gay hero" to help "break the stereotype of homosexuals [as] timid, weak and unheroic figures";[5][6][8] he told a friend, "It's too good an opportunity. For once we can show that gays do heroic things, not just all that caca about molesting children and hanging out in bathrooms."[11] According to historian Harold Evans, "[T]here was no invitation to the White House for Sipple, not even a commendation. Milk made a fuss about that."[13] [...] Two days after the thwarted assassination attempt, unable to reach Sipple,[12] Caen wrote of Sipple as a gay man and a friend of Harvey Milk, speculating Ford offered praise "quietly" because of Sipple's sexual orientation. Sipple was besieged by reporters, as was his family. His mother refused to speak to him.

Students at West Florence High School, around 80 miles east of the state capital, Columbia, had been complaining about a bizarre odor since August 25, with many reporting that it was making them feel unwell.

The school launched an urgent investigation into the smell, spending $55,000 on inspections and air conditioning repairs. Even the high school's gas lines, propane systems, and air quality had been inspected.

However, the source of the odor remained a mystery.

Eventually, students began experiencing nausea, dizziness, and migraines with some seeking medical attention for respiratory issues connected to the smell.

Our Qobuzissime award is traditionally reserved for an artist’s first or second album—a debut statement that brings something fresh to the musical landscape. However, every so often, an album comes along that warrants bending the rules. Te Whare Tīwekaweka, Marlon Williams’ fourth solo album, is one such rare exception. This record, his first sung entirely in te reo Māori, is a stunning departure from his established sound, offering an intimate and profound exploration of identity, language, and connection.

Having spent the past decade crafting his distinctive Southern Hemisphere take on folk-pop, country, and bluegrass, Williams returned home to Lyttelton, Ōtautahi, reconnecting with family and deepening his understanding of his ancestral tongue. With the guidance of Lyttelton-based rapper Kommi, he embarked on a journey to express his deepest emotions in te reo Māori, resulting in a work that is both a personal milestone and a cultural triumph.

The album’s title, Te Whare Tīwekaweka, draws inspiration from a Māori proverb meaning “The Māori language is a window to the Māori world.” Through these songs, Williams discovers a new means of musical expression, embracing a lyrical honesty that transcends language barriers.

Russian forces took an underage girl hostage to use her as a human shield after murdering her parents in a front-line village in eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps reported on Sept. 24.

The civilians were killed in the area of responsibility of the 3rd Army Corps, in the village of Shandryholove in Donetsk Oblast.

Ukrainian authorities have documented a number of cases of Russian troops murdering civilians in front-line areas since the outbreak of the full-scale war in 2022, part of a wider pattern of abuse and repression.

"Russia is using (the captured girl) as a human shield for its unit advancing in the Lyman sector," the military unit said.
