I recommend you read/skim through the article, but these paragraphs felt especially important:

Grief at this magnitude is crushing anywhere, but especially in a place so little. The numbers of dead leave a different-sized hole in the social architecture of a place where everyone knows where everyone lives. The people of Tumbler Ridge will see their streets differently now—which road has a house that is home to someone who has died or was injured or at school that day. “I will know every victim,” Mayor Darryl Krakowka told the CBC in those early hours when Tumbler Ridge waited to find out the names of the casualties.

But the way that a community responds to tragedy is a key part of their story. In La Loche, the lasting effect of the 2016 massacre is not stigma but something greater. It’s a complicated legacy: layers of sadness and anger but also love and resilience. People have “a lot of pride in their community and in the strength that it did have, even in the face of these incredibly hard things,” said Dungavell.

That’s why it matters that the mayors and residents of places like La Loche and Portapique send words of support to Tumbler Ridge. And that’s why it matters that the outpouring of support from Canadians persists long after the cameras have left. New schools will need building, and stable health care supports will be needed for years, Dungavell said.

“Right now, we’re talking about survival, but the hard work of figuring out ‘how this fits into our life story’ is going to happen in the next months and years,” she said.

Love and beauty exist after horror. That’s part of the story here, and in La Loche, Portapique, and Humboldt. In the years to come, there will still be mining and bears, a geopark, dinosaur fossils, and mountain vistas in Tumbler Ridge. But they will always look a little different.

background; i had all my torrents seeding forever and i never set a limit mostly because when i set up qbittorrent i was new and never really went into options.

i want to be able to control and limit the bandwidth i use but is 50kb/s during the day/10kb/s at night unreasonable? i dont want to be rude or make it hard for people to get things but i also just don't want thinks to balloon out of control (before i just keep everything in seeding perpetually just because i never bothered to look).

am i being unreasonable with limits? i obviously dont want to download and just stop; i always want to at least share back to at least 1.

these are mostly public trackers btw

thanks <3

Israeli settlers on Wednesday shot and killed 19-year-old Palestinian-American Nasrallah Abu Siyam as they attacked the Palestinian village of Mukhmas, east of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.

He and other residents had intervened to defend a Palestinian farmer under attack by a group of settlers, a witness told the Associated Press.

The Israeli army showed up and dispersed tear gas, sound grenades and live ammunition, the witness, Mukhmas resident Raed Abu Ali, told the AP.

Video circulating on social media appears to show the moment Abu Siyam was shot and his body being dragged away.

In early November, a social media post by United States President Donald Trump set off alarm bells across Nigeria. The US “Department of War”, he said, was preparing to go into the West African country “guns-a-blazing” over what he claimed was the killing of Christians in Nigeria.

As Nigerians worried about a potential bombing campaign against their nation, the Tinubu government — though still denying accusations of a “Christian genocide” — quietly pivoted. Instead of aggressive rhetoric, it said it would welcome US assistance in dealing with security challenges that have long proved a thorn in the side of successive Nigerian governments.

Weeks later, on the night of December 25, the US launched what Trump described as “powerful and deadly” strikes in northwest Nigeria but the US military’s Africa Command (AFRICOM) made clear the attacks were carried out “at the request of Nigerian authorities”.

That cooperation between the US and Nigeria only appears to have grown, culminating this week in 100 US military personnel arriving in the country to help train Nigerian soldiers in the fight against armed groups.

Nigeria’s Ministry of Defence said US forces will assist with “technical support” and “intelligence sharing”, and despite not playing a direct combat role, will help target and defeat “terrorist organisations”.

The Simon Bolivar Theater in Caracas was the setting this Friday, February 20, for a massive gathering organized by the “Cilia Flores Women for Peace” movement.

The initiative, spearheaded by congresswoman and journalist Cire Santos Amaral, brought together various social organizations with the main objective of strongly demanding the release of the constitutional President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, the First Combatant Cilia Flores. Both have been kidnapped since January 3 by U.S. forces and remain in U.S. custody.

Vice Admiral Carmen Melendez, Mayor of Caracas, led the speeches of a large group of women leaders who support this initiative.

With noticeable emotion, Melendez described the event as a reunion of “combatant, warrior, and fighting women”, emphasizing unity as an unshakeable pillar for Venezuela.
