World’s largest sovereign wealth fund exits Caterpillar and five banks on Israel concerns

Norway’s sovereign wealth fund will exclude U.S. machinery manufacturer Caterpillar and five Israeli banks from its equity portfolio over what it called an “unacceptable risk” that the firms contribute to rights violations. The ethics committee for Norges Bank Investment Management found that the former produced bulldozers that were being used in the “unlawful destruction of Palestinian property,” while the banks had provided financial services necessary for the construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Facing political and public scrutiny, NBIM has said it will not withdraw from all its investments in Israeli firms but review its portfolio to ensure it complies with its ethics mandate.

Easiest way to automate a VPN refresh?

On my truenas scale machine, I have a container for gluetun and one for qbittorrent (among others). Maybe a couple times a week, I notice that the VPN connection gets flakey. Qbittorrent speeds go down into the kb/s range. This promps me to carry out an annoying, manual process:

  1. I pause all torrents in qbittorrent webui
  2. I stop both the qbit and gluetun containers
  3. I start the gluetun container
  4. I give the gluetun container adequate time to connect (since the qbit container depends on the gluetun network, attempting to start both at the same time yields an error on the qbit side)
  5. I start the qbit container
  6. I resume all torrents in the qbittorrent webui

Is there any easy way to automate this process? Preferably one that doesn't require me to learn ansible? I'm hoping the solution could all be done via portainer - which I use.

Thank you in advance.
