  • I haven’t had any time to devote to it, but sleepless has been helping to re-organize the lemmy back-end so that other rust projects (like lemmy-rs-client and lemmy-ui-leptos), can more easily import its types and API.

    We need a lot more front end devs on both it, and lemmy-ui. There are 500+ github issues for lemmy-ui and about 1/3rd of a dev able to work on any of them.

    Iran requests emergency meeting of UN Security Council Iran has requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in the wake of Israeli attacks targeting its nuclear programme and military this morning, state media report.

    Amir Saeed Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the UN, made a written request for an emergency meeting of the council, calling for it to take “decisive action … against these criminal acts”, Iran’s Tasnim state news agency reported.

    “In a reckless, illegal and premeditated act, the Zionist regime has carried out a series of coordinated military attacks against the nuclear facilities and civilian infrastructure of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which are considered a clear violation of the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of international law, and whose dangerous consequences seriously threaten regional and international peace and security,” the letter said.


  • I highly recommend watching the documentary Zero days which is almost a decade old now, but about stuxnet.

    It was mainly developed by Israel and the US specifically to target this very facility (natanz), and try to blow up nuclear centrifuges and slow down Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.

    The project failed (only managed to slow down their program for a few months) and was a prime case of blowback, since stuxnet infected critical infrastructure around the entire world, and even the US had to devote considerable resources protecting their systems from a virus they helped create.

    I believe there’s a pretty low chance of any meltdowns or nuclear events, due to so many fail-safes.
