From the telegram message:
Possible illegal interception by Israel's naval commando unit of the Global Sumud Flotilla may be within the hour. GSF radars currently show a concentration of roughly 12 unidentified vessels, 5-15 miles from the flotilla. Contact has seemingly been disconnected with some GSF vessels, with some experiencing signal jamming. Keep your eyes on those onboard, contact your embassies, and demand your government ends their enabling of Israel's crimes!

I try, I really do, to use public transit whenever I can. But a large majority of the time it will cost over twice the cost of driving, take over twice as long, and the final stop will be over a mile from my destination. Two of those caveats I could probably live with; all three makes it a non starter.

President announces TrumpRx.gov for drugs, and pricing deal with Pfizer (yes, it's a federal website)
President Trump on Tuesday announced a deal with Pfizer to sell its drugs directly to consumers at discounted prices. They'll be available through a website operated by the federal government called TrumpRx.gov. He said similar deals with other drugmakers are in the works.
The new website is part of a broader initiative the administration says is aimed at bringing prices paid by Americans, including Medicaid patients, more in line with those paid in other developed countries. The idea is sometimes called most-favored-nation pricing. Under the deal, Pfizer agreed to charge the same price for new drugs in developed countries and the U.S.
Value of UK arms imported by Israel reached record high in June
An investigation from Channel 4 News has found that the value of UK arms imported by Israel reached a record high in June of this year. That’s in spite of the government announcing in 2024 that they had halted 29 export licences to Israel. Instead, the investigation found that:
"Our analysis of Israel Tax Authority figures shows munitions worth around £400,000 arriving from the UK and passing through Israeli customs in June 2025 – the highest amount in a single month since available records began more than three years ago."
"The exact nature of the items isn’t specified in the records, but they were listed under a category that includes bombs, grenades, torpedoes, missiles and mines. It isn’t possible to identify the end user of the munitions from these statistics."

Probably n00b Question - Mead Brewing
For context, I've dabbled in home brewing. I've made ~4 successful batches based on online recipes. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but also not a complete amateur.
So what happens if you don't rack your mead/wine? I suppose the notion I have is to let it set in primary (assuming there's no fruit/spices to remove after initial fermentation) until its fully clarified before going straight to bottling?
I guess I've assumed there is some problem in the clarification step if you don't "get rid of" the dead yeast that precipitates, but I've never seen anything exploring that as a method.
Can anyone offer their experience?
I don't rack clear mead. It settles perfectly after a year or so, wait till laser beam goes through without any scattering, don't agitate the bottle and give it time, mead really gets better on the long run.
Also, the more yeast you have, better is precipitation. Any rush makes imperfectly clear mead that would seem clear but would just settle in bottle later. This is a bad shortcut, don't rake it.
Personally, I had beer sitting on its yeast cake for months (in the cooled keg though), without any issue. Also, when bottle conditioning, you'll have some yeast sediment at the bottom, which has never hurt the flavour in my experience, even a year or so of not always cool storage.
If you leave your beverage on the yeast for years, I suppose you risk autolysis, but I'd say you're safe for anything up to a year or so.

Supreme Court lets Lisa Cook remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now (they will hear arguments in January)
The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Lisa Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now, declining to act on the Trump administration’s effort to immediately remove her from the central bank.
In a brief unsigned order, the high court said it would hear arguments in January over Republican President Donald Trump’s effort to force Cook off the Fed board.
The court will consider whether to block a lower-court ruling in Cook’s favor while her challenge to her firing by Trump continues.
The high-court order was a rare instance of Trump not quickly getting everything he wants from the justices in an emergency appeal.
Live updates: Democrats insist upon health care demands as government shutdown begins
Democrats want the health care subsidies extended now, for Republicans to reverse the Medicaid cuts that were enacted over the summer, and for the White House to promise not to rescind congressional spending. Republicans say there’s still time to negotiate on health care this year, but stopgap funding for the government is the priority.
At issue for the subsidies, is that the tax credits have made health insurance through the Affordable Care Act more affordable for millions of people since the COVID-19 pandemic. The credits are set to expire at the end of the year if Congress doesn’t extend them — which would more than double what subsidized enrollees currently pay for health insurance premiums, according to a KFF analysis.

Wild yeast kernza saison
Kernza® is the trademark name for the grain produced from the plant intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium). The plant is native to western Asia, and this perennial “cousin” of wheat has historically been grown in the US and across the globe to feed livestock. The Land Institute is developing it to serve as a perennial grain source for people and working toward a future that includes multiple varieties of Kernza® that are economical for farmers around the world to produce at a large scale.
Kernza grains are really tiny compared to standard barley/wheat, so instead of pointlessly pouring them through my malt mill, I sent them through my flour mill on a coarser setting to get a little crush on them without completely turning them into flour. Talking to a local brewery that has brewed a few kernza beers, they told me they don't mill the kernza at all. They just dump it straight into the mash and don't really expect to get much sugar extraction from the kernza addition. They're just adding it for flavor, which is often described as similar to rye. The grain also contains a lot of beta-glucan (also similar to rye).
Recipe for 5 gallons:
- 85% Best Pils
- 15% raw Kernza
Single Infusion Mash at 150°F/65°C
- 1oz Summer hops 8.3% @60 min (31.4 IBU)
- 1oz Summer hops 8.3% hopstand for 10 min (6.6 IBU)
I got these for free, apparently Summer is no longer being grown anywhere which is a shame 🙁
Fermented at 75-80°F/24-27°C for about 3-4 weeks with a wild yeast culture I captured from a bunch of juniper berries foraged on the side of a hiking trail on Granddad's Bluff outside of LaCrosse, WI.
OG: 1.050/12°P
FG: 1.004/1°P
Bottled a week ago with enough priming sugar for 4 volumes. Could use a little more time to fully prime, but patience is difficult.
Tastes really good, I'm not sure if I can pick out the kernza or not, but the beer is really nicely fruity with some earthy/pastoral undertones.

I was thinking a bit about the issue with the enzyme activity - it is a problem with rye malts. But with 85% of pils malt it just isn't an issue.
I think that with rye ~50% is the ratio that is possible to achieve quite easy.

Iran receives Russian MiG-29 jets, expects more advanced systems, lawmaker says
Russian MiG-29 fighter jets have arrived in Iran as part of a short-term plan to bolster its air force, with more advanced Sukhoi Su-35 aircraft to follow gradually, an Iranian lawmaker said on Tuesday.
Abolfazl Zohrevand, a member of parliament’s national security committee, told domestic media that the delivery of MiG-29s was intended as an interim measure while Tehran awaits the arrival of Su-35s “as a long-term solution.”
“Russian MiG-29 fighter jets have arrived in Iran and are stationed in Shiraz, while Sukhoi Su-35 jets are also on the way,” he said. He also said that China’s HQ-9 air defense system and Russia’s S-400 system were being supplied to Iran “in significant numbers.”

Sulfur Hexafluoride: The Nightmare Greenhouse Gas That’s Just Too Useful To Stop Using
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is not nearly as infamous as CO2, with the latter getting most of the blame for anthropogenic climate change. Yet while measures are being implemented to curb the release …Hackaday
In electrical distribution, there are plenty of alternatives, I've worked with electrical utilities for a little. In that city, most residential transformers and some legacy switchgear (some up to 80 years old) use mineral oil. In the 90s SF6 switchgear was common to be installed, but the current models of medium-voltage switchgear have neither. And some modern commercial alternatives are appearing for transformer winding isolation and coolant.
The issue comes with higher-voltage switching, such as at substations. If you want to use air separation there, then you'll need lots and lots of space between to prevent arcing. Since that is not always achievable, that's where vacuums or agents like SF6 are used instead.

Do not update single packages on Archlinux, but
On Archlinux it is not recommended to update only one package with the package manager pacman. Let's say I have 11 packages, and one of them is extra/firefox (true story). Updating only a pacman -S firefox could introduce problems, but installing a new single package if it wasn't there is okay.
So my question is, could we get around this by removing and installing the same package again in one go: pacman -Rs firefox && pacman -S firefox

Russia’s war against Ukraine

‘We have to settle it up‘ — Trump calls for Zelensky-Putin meeting again. “The only way we can do that is through strength,” U.S. President Donald Trump said. “If we were weak, they wouldn’t even take my phone call. … Zelensky’s got to get them together and get it done.”
Zelensky warns of ‘critical‘ situation at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant after weeklong outage. Zelensky accused Moscow of obstructing the repair of the power lines through continued shelling: “And this is a threat to absolutely everyone. No terrorist in the world has ever dared to do to a nuclear plant what Russia is doing right now.”
‘Classic false-flag operation‘ — Kyiv denounces Russian allegations of Ukrainian provocations in Poland. The statement comes after the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service alleged that Ukraine was preparing a sabotage and reconnaissance group to stage incidents on Polish territory, using fighters from the “Freedom of Russia Legion” and Belarus’s K. Kalinouski Regiment.

Harassment, humiliation, and death threats: Tibetan activists face threats from China for protesting environmental destruction, report says
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/43288859
As China continues to ramp up its claim over Tibetan resources, the environmental activists in the region face persistent threats from the Chinese authorities, a report said on Tuesday.It added that between 2010 and 2019, many activists were detained and sentenced to years in prison in China for peacefully protesting against illegal mining activities, the hunting of endangered species, and environmental damage across Tibet.
According to a report in the 'Greek City Times', the imprisoned environmental human rights defenders include Anya Sengdra, Dorjee Daktal, Kelsang Choklang, Dhongye, Rinchen Namdol, Tsultrim Gonpo, Jangchup Ngodup, Sogru Abhu, and Namesy.
The environmentalists, it said, committed to protecting the environment and addressing ecological challenges, continue to face harassment, humiliation, and death threats from China.
"Tibetan environmentalist A-Nya Sengdra, who has spent seven years in jail, was recently denied release. Hence, he will stay in jail until February 2026. Ironically, no explanation was given for the extension of his jail term, which is reminiscent of China’s practice of acting without providing any satisfactory reason," the report detailed.
It stressed that this is not an isolated incident but part of a pattern showing how China has been harassing, torturing, and jailing Tibetan activists for raising their voice against the environmental exploitation in the region.

Breve biografia dell’autrice
Gabriella Picerno è psicologa (e scrittrice) pedagogista, consulente in sessuologia e esperta in psicologia del disegno infantile e dell’apprendimento. Direttrice del Centro di Documentazione Educativa Il Grillo Parlante di Rufina (Firenze). Lavora in progetti di formazione e interventi di educazione alla genitorialità, all’affettività e alla sessualità. Si occupa di problematiche familiari quali la separazione e il divorzio. Svolge attività professionale su tematiche come la formazione dei docenti, il disagio scolastico, i disturbi dell’apprendimento e di relazione.
Il testo: Tienimi per mano
“Tienimi per mano”, si apre con una scena simbolica: il primo giorno di nido, il bambino che stringe forte la mano del genitore come a chiedere rassicurazione mentre si apre a un mondo nuovo. Questo gesto diventa metafora del percorso che attraversa tutto il libro: accompagnare il bambino nei suoi primi passi verso l’autonomia, senza mai lasciarlo solo emotivamente. Il testo sottolinea che i genitori sono i primi maestri e punti di riferimento, ma che il nido rappresenta un luogo di crescita affettiva, cognitiva e sociale fondamentale. Il libro nasce come guida empatica, con suggerimenti pratici e spunti di riflessione, per aiutare le famiglie a vivere con serenità la transizione dei primi anni di vita.
Due parole sul titolo
Tienimi per mano: non solo un gesto fisico, ma un ponte silenzioso tra due mondi, due emozioni, due anime. La mano che stringe un’altra racconta fiducia, sicurezza, accoglienza. In psicologia, questo gesto diventa simbolo della relazione di sostegno, della vicinanza emotiva e della capacità di accompagnare l’altro nei momenti di incertezza. Ogni passo condiviso, ogni stretta di mano, è un linguaggio silenzioso che comunica: “Non sei solo, ci sono con te”. In termini pratici, psicologicamente, la presenza tangibile di qualcuno che ci “tiene per mano” può ridurre lo stress, rafforzare la sicurezza interna e favorire la regolazione emotiva. La psicologia dello sviluppo ci insegna che fin dall’infanzia il contatto fisico e la vicinanza emotiva sono fondamentali: i neonati che ricevono carezze e attenzioni sviluppano maggiore fiducia nel mondo e nelle relazioni future. In età adulta, il gesto si trasforma in un atto simbolico: offrire sostegno, ascolto, comprensione. Autori come John Bowlby sottolineano l’importanza dell’attaccamento sicuro, dove la disponibilità di un adulto o di una figura significativa crea le basi per l’autonomia e la resilienza. Donald Winnicott, invece, ci ricorda che il sostegno emotivo funziona come un contenitore: una mano che stringe diventa metafora della capacità di accogliere, contenere e accompagnare l’altro nella complessità dei sentimenti.
Tienimi per mano è quindi un invito alla presenza consapevole, all’empatia attiva, alla cura relazionale. Non è solo protezione: è riconoscere la fragilità e la forza dell’altro, è creare uno spazio dove il cuore può sentirsi sicuro e libero allo stesso tempo.
In pratica, tendere la mano significa:
- Offrire sostegno emotivo: ascoltare senza giudizio, essere presenti.
- Rafforzare la fiducia: comunicare attraverso gesti, parole e attenzione che l’altro può contare su di te.
- Favorire la resilienza: accompagnare nei momenti difficili senza sostituirsi all’altro.
Così, una mano che si tende diventa un filo invisibile che unisce, una carezza silenziosa che cura, un gesto poetico che parla più di mille parole.
In sintesi:
“Tienimi per mano” è un testo che unisce calore narrativo e basi psicologiche solide. La sua forza è la capacità di tradurre teorie complesse in suggerimenti pratici, valorizzando il ruolo del legame affettivo, del gioco, del linguaggio e della comunità nello sviluppo armonico del bambino.

La genitorialità è un viaggio che non si misura solo in giorni o anni, ma in silenzi condivisi, gesti di cura e sguardi che rassicurano. Essere genitori significa tenere insieme la fragilità e la forza del proprio figlio, accompagnarlo nei primi passi con mani attente e cuori presenti. In psicologia, questa funzione va ben oltre il semplice accudimento: è un processo relazionale che plasma l’autostima, la sicurezza e la capacità di relazione dell’individuo. Il gesto simbolico del titolo di Gabriella Picerno, Tienimi per mano, racchiude l’essenza di questa funzione. Non è solo un invito alla vicinanza fisica, ma un richiamo alla presenza emotiva, alla capacità di offrire contenimento senza soffocare, protezione senza possesso. Come sottolinea l’autrice, la genitorialità è un equilibrio delicato tra cura e autonomia, tra guida e libertà, tra radici e ali.
Dal punto di vista psicologico, questa dinamica si riflette nei concetti di attaccamento sicuro (Bowlby e Ainsworth), dove la disponibilità emotiva e la sensibilità dei genitori creano basi solide per la fiducia nel mondo; e nella teoria di Winnicott, in cui il “contenitore” genitoriale permette al bambino di sperimentare e crescere, consapevole della sicurezza a cui tornare. Ogni mano tesa, ogni parola di incoraggiamento, diventa così un ponte tra il mondo interno del bambino e quello esterno, un filo invisibile che sostiene lo sviluppo emotivo e relazionale.
Nella pratica quotidiana, la genitorialità richiede presenza consapevole: ascoltare senza fretta, osservare senza giudizio, accompagnare senza sostituirsi. Significa saper accogliere le emozioni del figlio, guidarlo attraverso paure e scoperte, trasformando le difficoltà in opportunità di crescita. Come l’autrice evidenzia, essere genitori non implica perfezione, ma autenticità e coerenza, qualità che insegnano ai bambini a relazionarsi con il mondo con fiducia e resilienza.
In definitiva, la genitorialità è un atto poetico e scientifico al tempo stesso: un intreccio di cuore, mente e relazioni, dove ogni gesto semplice, ogni mano tesa, lascia un’impronta duratura. Tenere per mano non significa trattenere: significa accompagnare, sostenere e permettere al figlio di diventare pienamente se stesso, sapendo che le radici sicure sono sempre lì, pronte a sostenerlo.
“Sta a noi, società degli adulti, trovare gli stimoli per i nostri giovani, aiutarli a costruirsi il proprio cervello, che poi significa il proprio comportamento. È una responsabilità che fa o dovrebbe far tremare le vene e i polsi, perché si tratta di formare le nuove generazioni, il mondo di domani”.

Was mich ja am meisten nervt ist, dass die Verlage bei ihrem werbefinanzierten Angebot irgendwie ~0,3 Cent pro Artikel bekommen, wenn ich ihn klicke (respektive gar nichts, wegen Werbeblocker, aber theoretisch, wenn sie mir nicht Müll und Schadsoftware aus Werbenetzwerken reindrücken würden).
So, jetzt lese ich, weiß nicht, 3-4 Artikel pro "Zeitung" im Monat. Macht Einnahmen von großzügig 2 Cent. Aber dann wollen die im Abo irgendwie mindestens 5 bis 15€ pro Monat. Ja, äh, nein? Ich runde auf, ich zahle euch dreimal so viel pro Artikel, ihr bekommt einen Cent, ich keine Werbung, ihr mehr Umsatz. Das wäre der Handel, aber nein!
Matrix vs XMPP vs IRC
Not OP, but what I do lack here is a decent server Implementation in a single binary and easy deployment.
Also decent native clients for various platforms. Do we have any good ones?
This probably isn't a xmpp specific, but I'd like to have it work like wireguard. If the keys are wrong, self hosted instance would just reject it on the packet level. Then only authorized clients could use it. Outgoing connection on some hub instance would give access to outside world. All this would help with self hosting.
