There are several Linux Server distributions available for different purposes. Debian and Ubuntu are popular systems, but there are other smaller providers which are worth considering. CentOS’s support is declining, but there are some young successors such as AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux who are ready to step in.
This article explains how to show a history of recently installed, upgraded or removed packages, on Debian, Ubuntu or Linux Mint, from the command line. //
Show a list of recently upgraded packages, the date / time they were upgraded, as well as the old and new package version, on Debian, Ubuntu or Linux Mint:

zgrep "upgrade " /var/log/dpkg.log.2.gzapt package manager logs into /var/log/dpkg.log
It looks like when setting up a mail account the device/mail client looks for a autodiscover.xml file.
Is there a way to create such a file by myself and serve it on a usual Linux server, pointing to a usual mail Linux server?
I have a linux based mail server (not Microsoft Exchange) at mail.example.com
I host email for multiple domains at this server: example1.com, example2.com, example3.com, etc
I have a mail client running Outlook 2019. When the user adds a new account with their email, e.g.: user@example1.com and then clicks "continue" and then "IMAP/POP", [the incoming and outgoing server fields are blank][1].

At the center of this debate is a bipartisan group of senators, informally dubbed the "Gang of Six," who are quietly working on potential changes to the 340B drug pricing program. On the Republican side, Senators John Thune (SD), Jerry Moran (KS), and Shelley Capito (WV) have joined their Democratic colleagues, Senators Debbie Stabenow (MI), Ben Cardin (MD), and Tammy Baldwin (WI), in tackling the future of this crucial program.
For those unfamiliar, the 340B program allows hospitals and healthcare providers in low-income and rural areas to purchase medications at discounted prices from pharmaceutical companies. These savings are vital, allowing hospitals to remain financially viable and continue providing services to underserved communities. The discounted drugs are often sold at regular prices to insured patients, allowing these healthcare providers to use the profit margin to cover costs, pay healthcare staff, and maintain operations.
Why does this matter? Because rural states like South Dakota, West Virginia, and Kansas rely heavily on the 340B program to keep their healthcare facilities open. For example, South Dakota, despite its sparse population, has 339 active 340B entities, providing much-needed healthcare access to its rural communities. West Virginia, one of the poorest states in the country, has over 1,060 of these entities, and Kansas has 946. These numbers underscore how essential the program is for ensuring that working-class and rural patients have access to hospital services.
But this isn't just about those three states—it's about the broader picture of healthcare access in rural America. Across the country, rural hospitals are struggling to keep their doors open, and the 340B program is a lifeline. Just in the past month, we’ve seen MercyOne closing its Primghar location in Iowa, the Regional Health System shutting down its Norman Regional Hospital in Oklahoma, and a temporary closure of a 340B facility in rural Ohio. Without 340B, these closures would likely become far more common.
The pharmaceutical industry, unsurprisingly, isn't a fan of the program. They’d rather see these discounts eliminated, arguing that hospitals should rely on government funding or higher taxes to stay afloat. However, the reality is that Big Pharma agreed to 340B in exchange for access to lucrative Medicare and Medicaid markets, and now they want to renege on that deal. If they succeed, rural communities could be left without access to healthcare, or taxpayers could be forced to foot the bill for direct government bailouts to struggling hospitals.
Israel has taken the gloves off and sent in the exterminators, and the rats are running for cover. One of the rats is Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has reportedly been moved to a "secure location" within Iran:
The advent of a Cheech and Chong society has created a new problem for police departments: how to sort out legal marijuana enterprises from illegal ones. It isn't always that easy to tell weed that has been thoroughly taxed from the libertarian, free market variety; see California police hand deliver $800K worth of cannabis to distributor after illegal raid (nypost.com). //
OFFICER FRANCO compared the power usage of the TARGET PREMISES to nearby businesses and found it significantly higher.
OFFICER FRANCO, therefore, concluded that the TARGET PREMISES was cultivating cannabis, disregarding the fact that it is a diagnostic facility utilizing an MRI machine, X ray machine, and other heavy medical equipment—unlike the surrounding businesses selling flowers, chocolates, and childrens’ merchandise, none of which would require significant power usage. //
Raiding the NoHo offices near closing time, the SWAT team found pretty much what they would have expected to find if they had ever checked with city licensing agencies: a single employee and an X-ray and MRI machine. They detained the employee and proceeded to rummage through offices that obviously did not contain either marijuana plants or processing equipment.
Considering the search yielded no live cannabis plants or any other contraband, and the detained employee had already been released, it was evident—or should have been—that any further action taken by the LAPD Officers would exceed the scope of the search warrant.
- However, some LAPD Officers continued to roam freely throughout the TARGET PREMISES, casually engaging in conversation with one another. The whole operation was nothing short of a disorganized circus, with no apparent rules, procedures, or even a hint of coordination. //
Said LAPD officer, dangling a rifle in his right hand, with an unsecured strap, approached the MRI Office, glanced at the large warning sign on the door, reopened the door with his left hand and proceeded inside.
Expectedly, the magnetic force of the MRI machine attracted the LAPD Officer's loose rifle, securing it to the machine.
Wait, it gets better. With one SWAT team member's firearm welded to the MRI machine, our heroes search for a way out. They can't ask for help because the detained employee is a potential drug kingpin, and they don't want to look stupid, but mostly because they don't want to look stupid.
The MRI machine was equipped with a sealed emergency pull button labeled, "Caution, Emergency Use Only." This button was intended to be activated solely in the event of a genuine emergency, such as a health risk to a patient inside the machine, a fire, or an evacuation situation.
Rather than seeking assistance from the on-site employee, or waiting for the manager’s arrival, one of the LAPD Officers made the unilateral decision to break the seal and activate the emergency shutdown button, deactivating the MRI machine.
What could go wrong?
- This action caused the MRI's magnet to rapidly lose superconductivity, leading to the evaporation of approximately 2000 liters of helium gas and resulting in extensive damage to the MRI machine.
We still haven't achieved Humiliationmax.
- The LAPD Officer then grabbed his rifle, this time wearing the strap over his shoulder as he should have when he entered the MRI room, and proceeded to walk toward the entrance, leaving the magazine full of bullets on the floor of the MRI office. //
Anyway, the owner of NoHo Diagnostics is suing the LAPD for a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which would be misleading the magistrate about the nature of NoHo Diagnostics's business. It is suing the now-retired police chief Michael Moore for "willful, wanton, malicious, and done with a reckless disregard for the rights of Plaintiffs," and it is suing the city and all twenty officers involved in this fiasco for negligence. //

Whatever happened to just making a phone call or simply visiting the building? How about checking with city hall to find out how the business is registered? Why does everything have to be so dramatic?

So at no point during the planning of this raid did anyone think to actually visit the business first?

That's her real thoughts there, all the rest is just "I need to get elected" window dressing. This will not go over well and it invites even more people to come. Listen as she says they "deserve to have a system that works."
What about us? What about a system that works for us? We had it under Trump. We deserve to have a president who actually enforces our laws.
We're not going to get that under Kamala Harris. //

Whenever states try to limit illegal immigration, democrats (and their lapdog judges) tell us immigration is under federal jurisdiction, and we have to capitulate to their enabling of foreign invasion.
When President Trump sought to enforce immigration laws, the democrats responded with "sanctuary" cities and states, telling us local jurisdictions were to decide.
The judges let them have it both ways, both ways encouraging invasion, and now we have hundreds of thousands admitted criminals, many convicted or accused murderers and rapists, roaming free and putting us all (except the democrats behind their security barriers) at risk.

Syrians are handing out sweets and celebrating the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah (his death is not officially confirmed)
Embedded video
4:27 PM · Sep 27, 2024 //
These people who suffered from Hezbollah's thuggishness and the perpetual war it created are not sad to see Nasrallah and his ilk destroyed.
It is too early to draw definitive lessons from Israel's post-October 7th campaign against institutional terrorism in the Middle East, but I think there are reasons to be hopeful.
When the much-maligned Jared Kushner undertook his mission to rearrange the strategic map of the Middle East, he intuited that attempting to negotiate with the "Palestinian" leadership was a dead end for the simple reason that those people knew the only way they could stay in power was by promoting victimhood and refusing to negotiate. When the farcical "two state solution" was abandoned, Israel was able to achieve normalized, or at least non-hostile relations with historic foes such as Saudi Arabia. //
If that strategic void is filled by anyone other than Iran's stooges, then the region's security structure could be reordered. I would argue the region is tired of fighting and would really like to do something else, and absent the Iranian-grafted cancer that is Hezbollah, change is possible.
Just two final points. First, Netanyahu's speech at the UN spelled out the issue in no uncertain terms. The region can stagger on in a state of poverty, terrorism, and warfare, or it can pull the plug on the old way of doing business and work together to lift up all nations in the region.
This is not hyperbole; this is a crossroads.
Second, the idea that warfare is an exercise in proportionality has been permanently discredited. I'm a Catholic, and before that, I was an ardent student of military history. I understand "Just War" theory, and I also understand why it is wrong. A proportionate response is guaranteed to prolong conflicts and increase casualties on both sides. As a Southerner, I think the South was much better off for Sherman's March to the Sea and Phil Sheridan's rampage up the Shenandoah Valley than it would have been if the war had extended for another two or three years as the Army of the Potomac ground its way through Virginia and North Carolina. Proportionality is a sop to the conscience; it is nothing more than virtue signaling. Israel's response to the October 7 Massacre is showing the very real possibility of ending the so-called "cycle of violence." //
Which brings me to my last point. Overwhelming violence works. While we may all prefer negotiations to violence, there are times when there is nothing to talk about. Slaughtering 1,200 Israelis brings about such a time. A lot of my friends during the early days of the Iraq War were fond of saying, "you can't kill your way out of a problem." That is false. There may be reasons you don't want to do that, or you may suffer from a lack of ambition or motivation, but to say you can't kill enough people to make the problem go away is fatuous nonsense.
In response to a shouted reporter's question, her remarks at the border consisted of this less than 30-second sound bite, a word salad that included something about the agents "rightly need[ing] support to do their job"--something that the Biden/Harris administration has refused to do, and which the border agents union has debunked as false: //

Especially when Zelensky said this:
And now, through a lot of challenges — Ukraine and the United States. And, of course, I want to discuss with you, I think, where we are together. I think we have common view that the war in Ukraine has to be stopped, and Putin can't win, and Ukrainians have to prevail. And I want to discuss with you the details of our plan.
Why would he feel the need to do that? Why would he say something like that? //
But Brandon, he also met with Harris and Biden," some might say.
Well... yeah. Of course, he did. He needed to secure another $8 billion for his country. Biden and Harris both wanted to be seen doing that. Harris especially wanted to be seen doing that. She did laps back and forth on the White House balcony with Zelensky to make it look like she was deep in foreign policy talks.
Does this mean Zelensky has confidence in Harris winning? Not necessarily. Keep in mind, he has to do this. This is the monkey dancing for his banana. He's willing to help Harris craft her illusion for it.
But he didn't have to meet with Trump. He did it because he felt compelled to.
And that should worry Democrats.

In an impassioned speech before the UN General Assembly on September 27, 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spelled out to the world that Israel is done with international efforts to placate or excuse Hamas and Hezbollah. He declared there would be no peace until the terrorist organizations dedicated to the mass murder of Jews and the eradication of Israel are themselves eradicated.
Netanyahu started his speech by stating he originally had zero interest in attending the UN meeting this year, but felt compelled to do so in order to combat the lies of those claiming Israel was unjustifiably aggressive in combating terror. //
Netanyahu stated to those gathered that Iran was and is a threat to not only Israel but the civilized world as a whole.
And that is the choice we face today: the curse of Iran’s unremitting aggression or the blessing of a historic reconciliation between Arab and Jew. In the days that followed that speech, the blessing I spoke of came into sharper focus.
Netanyahu reminded the UN that before the Hamas-committed obscene atrocities of October 7, 2023, the Middle East was close to enjoying genuine peace as it has ever been since Israel’s formation in 1948. //
I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran: If you strike us, we will strike you. There is no place—there is no place in Iran—that the long arm of Israel cannot reach. And that’s true of the entire Middle East. //
This is the map I presented here last year. It’s a map of a blessing.
It shows Israel and its Arab partners forming a land bridge connecting Asia and Europe. Between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, across this bridge, we will lay rail lines, energy pipelines, and fiber optic cables, and this will serve the betterment of 2 billion people.
He next displayed a map of the present reality.It’s a map of a curse. It’s a map of an arc of terror that Iran has created and imposed from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean. Iran’s malignant arc has shut down international waterways.
It cuts off trade, it destroys nations from within, and inflicts misery on millions. On the one hand, a bright blessing—a future of hope. On the other hand, a dark future of despair. And if you think this dark map is only a curse for Israel, then you should think again.
Because Iran’s aggression, if it’s not checked, will endanger every single country in the Middle East, and many, many countries in the rest of the world, because Iran seeks to impose its radicalism well beyond the Middle East.
That’s why it funds terror networks on five continents. That’s why it builds ballistic missiles for nuclear warheads to threaten the entire world. For too long, the world has appeased Iran. It turned a blind eye to its internal repression. It turned a blind eye to its external aggression. Well, that appeasement must end. And that appeasement must end now. //
And now I have a question, and I pose that question to you: What choice will you make? Will your nation stand with Israel? Will you stand with democracy and peace? Or will you stand with Iran, a brutal dictatorship that subjugates its own people and exports terrorism across the globe //
I have a message for you: Israel will win this battle. We will win this battle because we don’t have a choice.
After generations in which our people were slaughtered, remorselessly butchered, and no one raised a finger in our defense, we now have a state. We now have a brave army, an army of incomparable courage, and we are defending ourselves.
As the book of Samuel says in the Bible:
“נֵ֣צַח יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יְשַׁקֵּ֖ר”
“The eternity of Israel will not falter”.
In the Jewish people’s epic journey from antiquity, in our odyssey through the tempest and upheavals of modern times, that ancient promise has always been kept and it will hold true for all time.
To borrow a great poet’s phrase: Israel will not go gently into that good night. We will never need to rage against the dying of the light because the torch of Israel will forever shine bright.
To the people of Israel and to the soldiers of Israel, I say: Be strong and of good courage.
“חִזְק֣וּ וְאִמְצ֔וּ אַל־תִּֽירְא֥וּ וְאַל־תַּעַרְצ֖וּ מִפְּנֵיהֶ֑ם כִּ֣י ה’ אֱלֹקיךָ ה֚וּא הַהֹלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֔ךְ לֹ֥א יַרְפְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֥א יַעַזְבֶֽךּ”

What is clear is that the leftist defense of an "honor system" for voter registration has left open massive vulnerabilities for foreign participation in American elections.

This is a feature and not a bug, so don't count on the Left pulling back or changing their tactics. Dependent upon what happens on November 5, 2024, at the rate this is going, we may never see another "free and fair" election in our lifetimes.
NIST Recommends Some Common-Sense Password Rules
NIST’s second draft of its “SP 800-63-4“—its digital identify guidelines—finally contains some really good rules about passwords:
The following requirements apply to passwords:
- lVerifiers and CSPs SHALL require passwords to be a minimum of eight characters in length and SHOULD require passwords to be a minimum of 15 characters in length.
- Verifiers and CSPs SHOULD permit a maximum password length of at least 64 characters.
- Verifiers and CSPs SHOULD accept all printing ASCII [RFC20] characters and the space character in passwords.
- Verifiers and CSPs SHOULD accept Unicode [ISO/ISC 10646] characters in passwords. Each Unicode code point SHALL be counted as a signgle character when evaluating password length.
- Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types) for passwords.
- Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT require users to change passwords periodically. However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator.
- Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT permit the subscriber to store a hint that is accessible to an unauthenticated claimant.
- Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT prompt subscribers to use knowledge-based authentication (KBA) (e.g., “What was the name of your first pet?”) or security questions when choosing passwords.
Verifiers SHALL verify the entire submitted password (i.e., not truncate it).
Hooray.
The Shot Heard ‘Round The World.
On a cool Massachusetts morning, April 19, 1775, a group of farmers, tradesmen, and other “Minutemen” led by Captain John Parker, gathered on Lexington Commons to…express umbrage at the British Crown’s illegal attempt to confiscate Colonial Weapons.
“Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war let it begin here,” declared Parker.
No one knows who fired the first shot, but at the end of the battle, eight Americans lay dead and as many wounded. This came to be known as the “shot heard ‘round the World” and the de facto beginning of the American Revolution.
Fast forward to today—current Vice President and Democrat nominee for President, Kamala Harris again voices a desire to violate an enumerated constitutional right.
The Second Amendment, arguably written with Lexington in mind, is still the only one we need “permission” to exercise and is still under constant attack by the left. That’s generating backlash among popularly elected local Sheriffs, reports The Wall Street Journal. From the article.
The “Second Amendment sanctuary” movement has taken hold in more than 100 counties in several states, including New Mexico and Illinois, where local law-enforcement and county leaders are saying they won’t enforce new legislation that infringes on the constitutional right to bear arms.
This isn’t a “one-of,” issue—we’re talking about over 100 counties across several states. This indicates widespread popular support, support that is galvanizing locally elected Law Enforcement Officials to take notice—and take action. //
Predictably, there has been the mandatory hue and cry from the left, declaring those Sheriffs to be lawless rogues. Strangely enough, this from locales that support sanctuary cities for illegal aliens. Of course, their screeching is without basis. First of all, the local Sheriffs are on pretty solid Constitutional ground.
