This seems to be the actual reporting: https://abc7.com/montclair-teen-saves-niece-home-invasion-quick-thinking-home-invasion/1781013/

It seems the specific problem was that military planes were being used instead of civilian planes:

That is why I returned the U.S. military planes that were carrying Colombian migrants... In civilian planes, without being treated like criminals, we will receive our fellow citizens.

That does make sense to me, since I'd feel less comfortable if a military plane was flying into my country, whereas I'd be more comfortable if a regular civilian flight was used instead. From the perspective of a Colombian, I would be concerned about how national security would be affected by giving permission for military planes to operate when they wouldn't otherwise have permission.

"password" is the third password someone would try.

What "new EU law" is being discussed? I read several articles like this but I failed to figure that out.

It helps me that this article expressed "The EU's Code of Practice on Disinformation, introduced in 2022, includes several voluntary commitments" is relevant, but I don't consider a law that is 2-3 years old to be "new". Moreover, I'm not even sure what a "voluntary commitment" is in the context of a law.

I'm assuming this is relevant: https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-ukraine-claims-it-killed-senior-russian-general-in-moscow-scooter-blast-12541713

I did try to reduce the impact of what I eat, but I haven't found a replacement for using chicken with a slow cooker. Beef also tastes good, especially when I eat at a restaurant.

I have stopped making hamburgers on my own (and replaced them with fish or soup), but I haven't put more effort into reducing my impact recently.

At least you can request that the items be sorted!

I believe Skiff would automatically start using end to end encryption when it was available, without any user needing to enable it for any specific email, using the Web Key Directory standard: https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/blob/1634bea9d2a66ef5804b68d18d4218e0b7a8b806/docs/email.md#openpgp-compatible-services

It's not good for me that an email provider that supports that is undergoing dramatic changes, as an open standard that protects my privacy is more useful when it is used with more services.

It seems there aren't any exact replacements, but this probably lists service providers to consider: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/

They might be trying to express that the Matrix protocol makes it easier for Israel to spy on someone using it. That idea came up somewhat often about 2 years ago, but I don't know many relevant facts. It's also common for people to say that the CIA and Israel cooperate, so that might be the connection to the CIA.

The initial project was created inside Amdocs

In early 2000, federal agencies conducted a counterintelligence investigation to determine if Amdocs was being used by Israel to eavesdrop on U.S. government communications. The investigation found no evidence of such activity.

As for Signal, I am greatly annoyed that Signal requires your phone number for registration. Some people justify the centralization of Signal by saying that using a centralized network means that everyone using the network is using the same (good) security practices, and I've been told that the developers for Signal periodically express that they're trying to remove that requirement, but I still try to avoid using Signal (or any networks that I can't access without involving a phone number). The lack of progress on removing the requirement of your phone number from Signal (and the lack of information on where any centralized infrastructure is located) invites ideas about conspiring with the CIA.

Despite any uncertainty or discomfort, I defer to https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/ and https://soatok.blog/2024/07/31/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-signal-competitor/ to determine what methods of communication might be suitable for me to use.

You surely need to explicitly cause systemd to process changes after writing to a file. I would be very surprised if it reacted to file system changes automatically.

For example, I recall that I need to execute a command like systemctl daemon-reload after editing a service file: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/364782/what-does-systemctl-daemon-reload-do

You might get more useful information from resources like https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/systemctl.1.html

Giving support to Israel is one example that some people would likely provide. I would like to see as few war crimes as possible, and I'm not certain that Israel isn't committing any (to put things very lightly).

What is an example of "plain-text code", or of someone fainting at the sight of it?

The Java® Language Specification explains that "Programs are written in Unicode", which can reasonably be described as "Plain Text", but I would be surprised to see someone fainting at the sight of one.

If one copy of all of your data is deleted, you should be able to recover it.

• Maintain three copies of your data: This includes the original data and at least two copies.
• Use two different types of media for storage: Store your data on two distinct forms of media to enhance redundancy.
• Keep at least one copy off-site: To ensure data safety, have one backup copy stored in an off-site location, separate from your primary data and on-site backups.

Someone that was following best practices would have regularly made a copy of their data and stored it somewhere that doesn't depend on anything Oracle does, since I'd consider depending on Oracle to store all of your data to be storing all your data at one site.
