The main reason I don't want any IoT equipment in my house...
My internet connected fridge with default credentials and a private key of 4 was hacked by DPRK using abliterated GLM to craft extra clickable job offer phishing emails. I fear we may lose public key cryptography :(

The school was equipped with bomb shelter classrooms, and when there were no classes, it could shelter people receiving humanitarian aid. But the Russians targeted it with multiple aerial bombs. And they did so in a double tap to target first responders too. This is terrorism
The words can't describe this horror. 18 people were killed and five others injured in russian airstrikes on Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region. The strike targeted the school where humanitarian aid was being distributed to local residents. After the initial attack, russian forces dropped nine more aerial bombs, including particularly on a shelter where people were taking refuge. Rescue operations and the search for missing people are ongoing.

La tregua humanitaria más cínica de la historia reciente Mientras el mundo miraba para otro lado creyendo en "ayuda humanitaria" era todo lo que sucedía en Osleshky, Sky News acaba de confirmar el peor escenario: Rusia pactó un alto el fuego temporal supuestamente para evacuar civiles y bajo la protección de la primera dama de EEUU reforzó su presencia militar en la ciudad. Sabían que los drones de ataque ucranianos tenían la orden estricta de quedarse en tierra para no romper el acuerdo. Con el cielo limpio, las tropas rusas metieron blindados pesados, municiones y refuerzos las 24 horas del día. Algo que antes de la tregua era un suicidio por el fuego ucraniano. Básicamente, usaron a los civiles de escudo y la paz como pantalla para blindar sus posiciones militares de manera impune. Las imágenes de los drones de reconocimiento de largo alcance no mienten y el video ya es viral.

Russia dropped nine aerial bombs on a school sheltering civilians in Komyshuvakha, Ukraine. 29 people are dead. Another 48 are missing. On November 2, 2026, russian forces attacked a school in the Zaporizhzhia region, where local residents had gathered to receive humanitarian aid and seek shelter from russian attacks. The school was built seven meters underground. It was designed to provide a safe place for children to study and protect civilians from russian bombardment.But russia struck it with nine aerial bombs. Nine. Aerial. Bombs. A place built to save lives has been reduced to a pile of rubble. People are still being searched for beneath it. Among the dead are civilians, rescue workers, and police officers who came to help after the first strike.

Komyshuvakha, Ukraine. Russia simply dropped an aerial bomb on a local school where people had gathered to receive humanitarian aid. And when they went to a shelter, Russia dropped another NINE (!!!) glide bombs on it. The result: at least 24 people killed, including at least two rescue workers who had arrived to help the victims. Someone please explain to me how this is anything other than yet another blatant act of genocide committed by Russia against Ukrainians.

A Marruecos llega petróleo desde Rusia o, refinado en diesel, a través de Turquia. El amigo Erdogan. Por ejemplo, el GUN METALJAG (IMO 9428384) lleva más de una semana en aguas cercanas a Ceuta-Tánger, trasvasando sus 370.000 barriles de refinado, origen ruso, al MAMMA MARIA (IMO 9374844), último puerto, Gibraltar. Por ejemplo, el BARONI (IMO 9288370) procedente de Turquia, trasvasando al MULE (IMO 9298662) tambien con puerto en Gibraltar. En el vídeo de @Springbok1973 se aprecia bien este juego en la zona gris, a unas pocas millas de nuestra costa. Por supuesto las autoridades españolas ni están ni se les espera.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Dublino: Yves Sakila ucciso. L’uomo è stato identificato come Yves Sakila, cittadino del Congo, di circa trent’anni. Quando si sono accorti che era morto, hanno guardato in faccia l’uomo che gli teneva il ginocchio sul collo, come se non sapessero che il peso e la pressione di una persona di 90 chili gli avevano spezzato il collo. A Dublino è stato ucciso dopo che la sicurezza aveva allertato la polizia per un presunto furto. Alcune persone ridevano mentre veniva immobilizzato fino alla morte. Successivamente è emerso che probabilmente si trattava di un falso allarme: non è stato trovato nulla addosso al ragazzo. Le indagini sono ora in corso per chiarire se vi sia stato davvero un furto o un grave errore. Nel frattempo, le comunità migranti denunciano un crescente clima di razzismo e discriminazione in Irlanda. Anche se avesse davvero rubato, è accettabile che una persona venga uccisa così, davanti a tutti, senza prove e senza resistenza? È questa la giustizia che vogliamo difendere? La domanda che mi pongo è semplice: se fosse stato bianco, sarebbe stato trattato allo stesso modo? Ciò che sconvolge ancora di più è vedere persone ridere mentre un uomo muore. Questa è la disumanizzazione più brutale. Il razzismo sta trasformando l’Europa in un luogo dove la vita di alcune persone sembra valere meno. Non posso credere che, se fosse stato bianco, sarebbe finita allo stesso modo. Questa morte chiede verità, giustizia e coscienza.

You may not treat Polish citizens who have committed no crime in this way. In the democratic world we do not abuse and gloat over people in custody. We demand justice for our citizens and consequences for you.

Soms financiert de @EIB hele coole dingen. Zoals de kunstmatige bloedvaten van @Xeltis, die door het lichaam opgenomen én opgelost worden, zodat er een nieuw, lichaamseigen, bloedvat onstaat. Een uitkomst voor by-pass en nierdialyse patiënten! go.eib.org/Xeltis

Conclusie: a) mensen het prima vinden om naar vuurwerk te kijken, zolang ze maar niet zelf hoeven te betalen, en b) de vuurwerkbranche zijn onverantwoorde lui: “als de gemeente niks organiseert komt er chaos”. Prima argument voor verbod. nos.nl/artikel/2589622-doek-…

Zijn er hier nog experts in oude handschriften? Een van mijn voorouders, Philip Smit, trouwde in 1723, achter zijn naam staat (ik vermoed) zijn herkomst: "Van Statijn"? dankbaar voor elke hulp! #archief #Amsterdam
