Hey everyone. For a variety of reasons I’ve ended up with a paperless-ngx install that has not been upgraded for a while. It’s currently on 1.17.1, and I’ve been researching to figure out the best way to get back up to current. I’m worried about major changes that have happened over time and what the best way to go about this is, but I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it. Hoping someone here has some guidance. Cheers!

A livestream shared by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition shows at least half a dozen Israeli soldiers have boarded the aid vessel.

The activists aboard are sitting together, wearing life jackets and with their arms raised.

We have obtained a video clip of Huwaida Arraf, a Palestinian American activist and lawyer who was aboard the Handala, shortly before the boat was intercepted by Israeli forces.

Here is what she told the Israeli Navy:

“Israeli Navy, this is a civilian vessel, Handala. Let me give you a lesson in international law.

“Any blockade that deliberately starves a civilian population is a violation of international law. It is not only that – it is a war crime. You have no legal authority to enforce an unlawful blockade. And as such, you have no authority to use force to enforce an unlawful blockade.

“Therefore, we demand that you stand down. You are responsible for the well-being of every civilian onboard this vessel. As an occupying power in Gaza, you are responsible for the health and well-being of the civilian population there.

“Not only have you disregarded that obligation, but you are actively exterminating the people. You have engineered a famine. You are deliberately starving civilians and children before the eyes of the world.

“Our vessel does not constitute any threat to you. We carry only humanitarian aid, and therefore you have no authority to intercept or otherwise attack our vessel. We demand again that you stand down.”

The lids we love.

Author’s comment: We should call it climate catastrophe, not climate change, because the latter doesn’t have the sense of urgency.

The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

This is my testimony of how Jesus Christ saved me from p*ornography, gaming addiction, identity crisis, and New Age and witchcraft.

05:40 Who I am before Jesus; Buddhism, Idol–worshipping 1:07:42 The Void that couldn’t be filled 1:15:40 Why Jesus? Why not just switch to another religion? 1:19:26 Gaming to escape arguments and stress 1:27:30 Addiction to a variety of p*rnographic materials 1:38:22 Dabbling into the world of witchcraft; identity crisis 2:03:08 The encounter with Jesus and the ongoing miracles 2:40:49 A special message to Undecided believers of world religions and backsliding Christians

— ✅ Overview Hi, my name is Eden, and in this 1st video of this channel, I’m going to talk about my cultural background as a home–grown Buddhist who was saved by Jesus from the dark and torturous dungeon of idolatry, p*rnography addiction, gaming addiction, identity crisis, and witchcraft.

I was born and raised in a majority–Buddhist community, had a borderline atheistic mindset and lifestyle, i.e., had no fear for god; had little to no trust in any higher powers’ ability to grant your every wish, but would give offerings and sacrifices to idols in times of weakness (e.g., fear of failure, in the face of high–stake events).

Growing up, I was highly competitive and prideful; I was that stereotypical Asian, who wanted to outpace others, but remained in the back due to my many limitations. I was ashamed of that fact for a long time, but in those areas where I excelled, they became the only currencies of my self–worth; I started to define myself by those skills and abilities, not the person that I was born as. I was molded by pride, arrogance, impatience, and a fear of rejection and abandonment.

My heart was screaming out for something more. Alongside the identity crisis train, I was also depressed and confused by a number of other tumultuous events in my life that made it difficult to trust in any relationship, especially marriage. To me, such beautiful things were much closer to fantasies than reality.

But Jesus knew things to be different, and He transformed me.

I hope that this testimony will be encouraging to those who are still unsure about Jesus, who are still suffering from all the strongholds I mentioned in my story, and those who are backsliding from the faith. I tell you, truthfully, Jesus IS the Way, the Truth, and the Light.

I believe Father God heard the cries of my heart in that darkness, and out of all the ‘gods’ who were supposed to be great and mighty, Jesus was the one who reached out His hand into the dark waters of the deep and pulled me out. For the life of me, I didn’t realize how dark it was, but Jesus used His own body as the Light and showed me just how deep that darkness was when I was in it.

I was saved not because I accidentally called on the name of Jesus, but because of the grace of my Father in heaven—He knew me from the beginning, He heard the desperate cries of my heart, and He sent Jesus so that His Light could shake and break the prison wall that was holding me.

— Thank you, Father God, for your love, grace, mercy, and kindness renewed every day. Thank you, Jesus Christ, for making this testimony possible. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for strengthening my faith and reminding me of heaven’s victory over darkness through Jesus.

A PowerPoint presentation made public by the Post claims that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) used the AI tool to make “decisions on 1,083 regulatory sections”, while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau used it to write “100% of deregulations”.

The Post spoke to three HUD employees who told the newspaper AI had been “recently used to review hundreds, if not more than 1,000, lines of regulations”.

Oh, good. Everything was feeling a little too calm, so of course they're doing this right fucking now.

This is just something I want to get off my chest. I don’t have autism (at least I’m not diagnosed) but I just hate this.

All these people I’ve last seen when I was a kid and they all want to talk to me and hug me. They tell me I’m so tall now and know so much about topic x (tech most of the time) and I just want to tell them to shut the f up.

Sometimes I need to go into a dark, quiet room and just lay down. Sometimes playing the piano with noise cancelling headphones helps, but then all these people ask me where I’ve been the whole time.

I’ll do things I normally hate, like the dishes, just to have an excuse to be in a different room and put in my headphones.

I just wanted to vent a little, but if you have any, I’m open for advice.
