Intel Compute Sticks - Making them useful (or fun)?
Edit: So one is definitely going to be the Proselytizer Library Stick (OK I need a better name for it, fine). Going to test out some Debian options on there, just need to find a nice way to make it a user friendly portable library/reader, so feel free to mention whatever comes to mind there as well.
But I have more of these little suckers, so thats just one for now.
So I've got a few Intel compute sticks sitting on my desk here, and I don't know what I want to do with them (aside from throw them out, I'd rather find some value in them if I can).
They are STK1AW32SC, which have the atom x5-Z8330 chips, with a whopping 2gb ram, 32gb emmc, and a microsd slot.
A few things I've considered:
- Take a few LCDs and the drivers and make a "household front end", basically just point to my locally hosted services (mealie for recipes, hass, etc)
- Same thing but make it a digital picture frame
- Compute to point to a magic mirror instance
- Try out how terrible emulation is on them to make a little game console for the kids thats standalone? They already can use the living room one for that, which is a usff box with a lot more power. So probably not.
- Automatically boots to rick roll to stick in TVs at my BILs house and drive him nuts?
Open to ideas! I've got tons of machines here, so I really don't need them to do anything - which means the silly and borderline stupid (see rick roll note above) are perfectly acceptable ideas.

David Ellison, heir to the fortune of his father, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, is said to have been attracted to Weiss and The Free Press specifically for the outlet’s pro-Israel stance. Dylan Byers, who broke news of the FP sale for Puck, reported that Ellison was “smitten by Bari’s unwavering support of Israel and preoccupation with the rise of antisemitism—issues that are as near and dear to David’s father, Larry, as they are to Paramount’s outgoing owner.”Facing blowback for minimizing the famine in Gaza, The Free Press responded by saying that critics of the article, including Drop Site, are “journalists who oppose actual journalism.”
Weiss added: “You’ll notice one important aspect about the uproar: No one is disputing the facts in our piece.”
Well, we are. The Free Press claims in its investigation to have looked at the cases of 12 Palestinian’s photographs, as well as the child, Muhammad Zakariya Ayyouba Al-Mutawaq who appeared prominently in a New York Times article—and whose story they questioned in a previous Free Press article. Yet instead of reporting on the 12 Palestinians they claimed to have looked into, the article in fact only addresses nine, or arguably ten, an inexplicable discrepancy, and doesn’t provide original reporting on any of the cases.

How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs
U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.
Cavallo and researchers Paola Llamas and Franco Vasquez have been tracking the price of 359,148 goods, from carpets to coffee, at major online and brick-and-mortar retailers in the United States.
They found that imported goods have become 4% more expensive since Trump started imposing tariffs in early March, while the price of domestic products rose by 2%.
The biggest increases for imports were seen in goods that the United States cannot produce domestically, such as coffee, or that come from highly penalised countries, like Turkey.
These price hikes, while material, have been generally far smaller than the tariff rate on the products in question - implying that sellers were absorbing some of the cost as well.

Prosecutors convening grand jury in Hope Florida investigation of Medicaid funds diverted to Desantis' campaign
Prosecutors in Tallahassee are convening a grand jury relating to the Hope Florida Foundation, reinvigorating a scandal that has engulfed the charity spearheaded by Casey DeSantis, the governor’s wife.
The investigation began after revelations, first reported by the Herald/Times, that the DeSantis administration directed $10 million from a legal settlement with the Medicaid contractor Centene through the foundation for political purposes.
Nearly all of the money ended up in a political committee controlled by DeSantis’ chief of staff, James Uthmeier. The committee’s purpose was to defeat last year’s recreational marijuana amendment. DeSantis later named Uthmeier as Florida’s attorney general.

On Friday, the White House budget office announced that as a result of the ongoing government shutdown, reductions in force (RIFs) across agencies have begun.
However, over the weekend, the administration rescinded more than half of the 1,300 termination notices it sent to public health officials at the CDC, according to Axios and Reuters, citing sources familiar. Around 600 people at the agency remain fired.
On Saturday, the New York Times reported that members of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), informally known as “disease detectives”, as well as the team that compiles the widely respected scientific journal, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, were among the employees reinstated.

Students With Hearing and Vision Loss Get Funding Back Despite Trump’s Anti-DEI Campaign- Funds are being rerouted by Republicans
Following public outcry, the U.S. Department of Education has restored funding for students who have both hearing and vision loss, about a month after cutting it.
But rather than sending the money directly to the four programs that are part of a national network helping students who are deaf and blind, a condition known as deafblindness, the department has instead rerouted the grants to a different organization that will provide funding for those vulnerable students.
Grants to the four agencies total about $1 million a year. The department started funding state-level programs to help deafblind students more than 40 years ago in response to the rubella epidemic in the late 1960s. Nationally, there are about 10,000 children and young adults, from infants to 21-year-olds, who are deafblind and more than 1,000 in the eight affected states, according to the National Center on Deafblindness.
While the population is small, it is among the most complex to serve; educators rely on the deafblindness programs for support and training.

MTV spegne i canali musicali in Europa: è davvero la fine di un’era?
“I want my MTV” è stato il grido di una generazione. Quarant’anni dopo, MTV archivia un altro capitolo della propria storia: entro il 31 dicembre 2025 verranno spenti in UK i canali tematici MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV e MTV Live; resterà in onda solo il flagship MTV a programmazione d’intrattenimento. La stessa strategia tocca altri Paesi europei (con ulteriori chiusure nell’Europa centrale e nel Benelux), in linea con un consumo dei video musicali ormai migrato su YouTube, Instagram e TikTok. In Italia, invece, al momento sopravvivono sia MTV (intrattenimento) sia MTV Music su Sky/NOW, un lascito che tiene accesa la fiammella della “Music Television” per gli abbonati.

US military veterans increasingly face arrest and injury amid protests over Donald Trump’s deportation campaign and his push to deploy national guard members to an ever-widening number of American cities.
The Guardian has identified eight instances where military veterans have been prosecuted or sought damages after being detained by federal agents.
The latest incident occurred in Broadview, outside Chicago, where 70-year old air force veteran Dana Briggs was charged with felony assault on a federal officer on 29 September.

Saggistica

Il cuore pulsante del capitalismo non batte solo nelle catene di montaggio delle fabbriche o sulle scrivanie degli uffici, ma anche nelle nostre case. Il lavoro domestico e di cura sono il motore di un sistema che ha costruito il proprio dominio sul lavoro invisibile delle donne, appropriandosi del loro tempo, dei loro corpi e delle loro emozioni. Senza salario, senza riconoscimento, senza diritti. Se non quelli “amorevolmente” concessi.
Dopo Oltre la periferia della pelle, Federici torna in Italia, con un’opera fondamentale, finalmente in edizione completa: La rivoluzione al punto zero. In questo libro, sono stati condensati decenni di lotte e analisi su temi che vanno dallo sfruttamento del lavoro riproduttivo, alle conseguenze per le donne del colonialismo, diventando nelle sue varie edizioni un pezzo fondamentale della storia del femminismo e del pensiero radicale contemporanei.
La Rivoluzione al Punto Zero è un’arma teorica per chi vuole comprendere, ma soprattutto trasformare, il presente in cui ci troviamo a lottare. (Dalla pagina di presentazione)
Silvia Federici
Silvia Federici è una saggista di lungo corso, Di impostazione marxista, si è sempre occupata di arricchire la complessità del dibattito anticapitalista dimostrando teoricamente quella che ne è la radice stessa. Lo sfruttamento del lavoro di cura e come questo sia considerato “naturale”. Autrice e docente, da oltre 50 anni attivista nei movimenti femministi (Wages for housework). Nei suoi scritti ha sempre dimostrato come il controllo dei corpi delle donne sia alla base, ancora oggi e anzi oggi forse ancora di più, del sistema di potere capitalista.
La rivoluzione al punto zero
Il libro è una raccolta di testi scritti dall’autrice tra gli anni ’70 e gli anni ’10 del 2000. Personalmente lo ritengo un testo fondamentale che non mi limiterò solo a consigliare ma anche a diffondere. Leggendolo ho potuto riscontrare quanto anche tra i millennial bianchi e di sinistra, siano ancora diffuse convinzioni introiettate dal patriarcato. Il libro ribalta il paradigma secondo cui il lavoro domestico sia da considerarsi “naturale” e riporta al centro del dibattito la necessità di un suo riconoscimento.
Attualità bruciante
Federici analizza e smonta punto per punto tutte le contraddizioni che stanno alla base tra ciò che vogliamo essere e ciò che il sistema e il mercato ci impongono di essere. Esplorando i concetti di maternità, sessualità, riproduzione, migrazione e violenza istituzionale si vedono le radici di queste spinte contraddittorie. Nella nostra quotidianità viviamo sempre più in una tortura psicologica simile allo strappamento medievale. Se all’epoca erano gli arti ad essere tirati in direzioni opposte oggi sono le nostre identità, le emozioni e le volontà e ciò avviene in maniera subdola, costante e impercettibile. Un girone infernale chiamato capitalismo con 8 miliardi di torturati e un torturatore. Uno stile di vita i cui beneficiari sono i produttori di psicofarmaci e di sostanze da dipendenza.
Contro il mito del progresso
Come mi capita spesso di ripetere il capitalismo non potrebbe esistere senza patriarcato, cosi come i fascismi non potrebbero esistere senza capitalismo. Abbattere mattone per mattone il sistema patriarcale significa agire sulle fondamenta di quel millenario controllo dei corpi umani e in particolare dei corpi femminilli (aggiungo io di qualsiasi specie, l’autrice non parla di specismo). In questo modo la cura potrà essere restituita alla comunità e condivisa. Liberata dal dovere e dalle tassonomie di genere. Il capitalismo richiede la distruzione di qualsiasi attività economica non subordinata all’accumulazione e per farlo usa, spesso e volentieri, la guerra. Il libro cita esempi di donne che questo lo hanno compreso e hanno attuato forme di resistenza. Sono raccontati gli esempi delle cucine comuni in Cile e Perù e varie forme di gestione femminile della terra, in ottica anticapitalista, che mi riportano alla mente la poesia di James Connolly; “Vogliamo solo la terra”.
Riflessioni personali
Leggere oggi, nel 2025, di fronte a tutte le lotte sociali necessarie e urgenti non può che spingermi a fare delle considerazioni. Mi sono fermato spesso, durante la lettura, a riflettere su quanto il lavoro di cura (in particolare per sè stessi) e il tempo siano concetti correlati e quanto siano sempre più risicati e rosicati dalla società attuale.
Lavorare per vivere?
Penso a quanto sia sempre più maggiormente e obbligatoriamente delegato il lavoro di cura per i soggetti deboli (bambin*, anzian*, persone con disabilità). Assumere e pagare colf, baby sitter e badanti crea un nuovo soggetto discriminatorio e ovviamente un discriminato. Inoltre il soggetto “curato” diventa spesso un prodotto de-umanizzato. Senza considerare che chi lavora in questi settori finisce per privare se stess* e la propria famiglia dal lavoro di cura o comunque a doverlo fare doppiamente essendo pagat* la metà.
Vivere per lavorare
Tutta la vita è organizzata in maniera funzionale alla società capitalista. Affinchè questo si perpetui è necessario che il lavoro di cura non venga riconosciuto.
“Avere un salario significa far parte di un contratto sociale chiaro: lavori, non perchhè ti piace o perché ti viene naturale, ma perché è l’unica condizione sotto cui ti è permesso vivere”dal libro
Conclusioni
Una lotta che spinga gli Stati a riconoscere il lavoro di cura (come quella portata avanti dal movimento wages for housework) libererebbe da diverse ipocrisie e potrebbe avere effetti reali positivi sulla cultura e la società. Da uomo ritengo che libererebbe gli uomini dall’essere strumento attivo del potere patriarcale.
Guardiamo all’Italia. Quando i genitori lavorano entrambi fuori ed entrambi a casa (con il lavoro di cura condiviso) fanno la scelta più difficile ed economicamente meno conveniente. Per assurdo converrebbe economicamente, anche per via del gender gap, che l’uomo lavori di più e la donna di meno o che non lavori fuori per lavorare full-time (anzi extra time se consideriamo anche il servizio psicologico, sessuale etc. che serve per far accettare al marito i mali palesi del sistema capitalistico).
Inoltre l’impossibilità di curare se stess*, va a beneficio dello stesso capitalismo. Mangiare male e di fretta cibi pronti – spesso pagati più di quanto il rider che li consegna guadagna in un giorno, o serviti velocemente da camerieri sottopagati – è spesso causa problemi di salute.
Ma si sa, per i problemi causati dal capitalismo la soluzione la offre…il capitalismo. Se infatti la sanità pubblica si indebolisce e viene privata di fondi, riconvertiti al militarismo, ecco pronta per curare i mali di una vita che non è vita, una bella assicurazione sanitaria privata.

Il 9 luglio 2021, i 422 dipendenti della Gkn di Campi Bisenzio (Firenze), fabbrica che produce semiassi per l’industria automobilistica, ricevono una email con la quale viene comunicato l’avvio della procedura di licenziamento collettivo per cessazione di attività. Lavoratrici e lavoratori non restano immobili nella rassegnazione, reagiscono immediatamente, raggiungono i cancelli dell’azienda, presidiati da guardie private, e riescono a entrare. Non lo fanno per rabbia, ma per difendere un diritto e per proteggere il proprio territorio dalla delocalizzazione e dall’impoverimento.
Comincia così la lotta operaia più lunga e più strutturata degli ultimi decenni. Una lotta allo stesso tempo potente e fragilissima, che va conosciuta e sostenuta perché ci riguarda tutti. La mobilitazione, da un lato, vuole opporsi a un abuso e, dall’altro, avvia un corpo a corpo con il capitale di straordinaria forza e intensità. Un corpo a corpo non isolato ma in convergenza con movimenti e lotte che attraversano tutto il Paese, seppur spesso sottotraccia.
Mentre questo libro va in stampa, lavoratrici e lavoratori sono ancora lì, hanno costituito un Collettivo di fabbrica, hanno allestito un loro piano industriale credibile e hanno avviato la procedura di azionariato popolare per sostenerlo, che si è chiusa con oltre un milione di euro di sottoscrizioni.
In questi ultimi anni sono stati pubblicati molti libri che hanno raccontato la crisi e le falle del modello capitalistico di produzione e sviluppo, mancava però ancora un libro sul lavoro, che raccontasse la lotta di classe nel XXI secolo.
Questo libro non è solo la storia di una singola battaglia, ma un manifesto che parla a ciascuno di noi, trasversalmente al proprio mestiere. Perché il lavoro è vita. Ma questo lavoro, sfruttato, sottopagato, che ammala il corpo e la mente, in cui puoi essere licenziato in tronco con una email, non lo è più. È necessario gridarlo con consapevolezza, e farlo collettivamente. (dalla pagina del libro)Il collettivo di fabbrica GKN
Questo libro è frutto delle lotte del collettivo di fabbrica GKN. Una sottolineatura fondamentale per cercare di entrare dentro questo modo di pensare un mondo nuovo. Un mondo sbocciato come un fiore ribelle nato dal letame di un capitalismo sempre più arido e avido. Un fiore seminato dalla coscienza di classe e che sta convergendo, con altri semi, nel vento di una nuova umanità sempre più necessaria. Recensendo su questo blog pensatori come Graeber e Chomsky, capita spesso di leggere i loro inviti a immaginare forme alternative di lotta. La storia, il presente e mi auguro il futuro della ex GKN (ora GFF) ci offre spunti pratici in questo senso.Come scrivo qualche riga sopra, questo è un libro collettivo. Anche se sulla copertina risulta il nome di Dario Salvetti, accompagnato nel dialogo e nelle riflessioni da Gea Scancarello, faremmo un torto e probabilmente un dispiacere a Salvetti stesso cercando in una persona (o peggio in un personaggio) il leader o l’uomo da seguire. Svuoteremmo, abbruttiremmo e impoveriremmo l’essenza stessa, la specificità e la bellezza collettiva di questa lotta. Lotta che ha saputo andare oltre GKN. Grazie anche alla sua convergenza con la fase storica che viviamo ormai da troppo tempo.
Narrazioni nuove, nemici vecchi
Il libro fornisce al lettore, soprattutto a chi meno conosce la vicenda, nuovi punti di vista e inversioni di paradigma. Riappropriarsi della narrazione è tanto più necessario quanto più il capitale, come sta facendo con forza da decenni, svilisce e svuota quelli che sono i concetti chiave della lotta di classe. Un pensiero che abbraccia ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana. Sono interessanti alcuni passaggi in cui si prende coscienza della trasposizione dell’importanza della lotta nella realtà giornaliera.Come se il potere conducesse costantemente una lotta contro ogni singola persona, trattandola come una microazienda da sottomettere al suo volere. In questo modo vince sempre, poiché già essere costretti a giocare al gioco di chi fa le regole è una sconfitta. Il potere alimenta il potere in un continuo parossismo perchè “se la terra è tonda e se il mare è blu, da che mondo e mondo il forte vince e non sei tu (Cangaceiro – Litfiba)”.
[…]È ovvio che hanno dalla loro parte alcuni strumenti importanti, tra cui il fatto di essere lo status quo: a volte possono semplicemente ritirarsi e aspettare che le cose facciano il loro corso. Hanno dalla loro parte anche e innanzitutto il tempo. Ma soprattutto hanno dalla loro parte una verità: per il lavoratore la lotta è qualcosa che va oltre la “normale” vita quotidiana, è un’eccezione, un momento di grosso sacrificio che si fa sperando che qualcuno a un certo punto lo raccolga. Per loro, invece, la lotta contro il lavoratore è la vita quotidiana.[…]dal libro
Inoltre, in questa fase storica, ci stanno anche convincendo che se perdi, la colpa è tua. Fateci caso:“La lotta impedisce la ripartenza della fabbrica.”“Eh! Ma se usciva vestita in quel modo? Cosa pretende?”
“I giovani non vogliono fare sacrifici.”
“Nessuna crisi climatica! La colpa è di chi non pulisce i letti dei fiumi.”
“I vegani inquinano perché mangiano la soia e fanno fallire i piccoli allevatori che amano i loro animali.” (Anche se, mi si permetta la mia personale postilla, li sgozzano, stuprano e vendono per soldi).
La lotta crea, la lotta insegna
[…] Dobbiamo essere bravi a inventare ogni volta qualcosa di nuovo. A continuare in questa eterna azione pedagogica che è la lotta.[…]dal libroMi sono ritrovato molto in questa frase. Ho sempre pensato, riflettendo sulle vicissitudini del lavoro in Italia, che uno dei mali principali è stato proprio quello di abbandonare la pedagogia della lotta. Qualcosa che se ci pensiamo è collegata anche all’antifascismo. Ci dicono che sono concetti vecchi, che c’è bisogno di “pacificazione”, che il fascismo è morto 80 anni fa e intanto continuano a reclutare servi, impedire manifestazioni antifasciste e scioperi e proteggere commemorazioni di assassini. Il potere può farlo perchè senza pedagogia della lotta manca la coesione sociale.
Riprendere la pedagogia della lotta è fondamentale per offrire ragionamenti, cause e risposte ai problemi reali delle persone. La lotta crea e insegna che nessuno si salva da solo e che attaccare chi sta peggio porterà solo ad avere due persone che stanno peggio di prima mentre chi li ha messi contro ci guadagna. Inventare e reinventare la lotta di classe, internazionalizzarla nell’intersezionalità allontana le persone in difficoltà dal pensare che il fascismo possa essere una risposta. La lotta addensa la società liquida e disgregata, funzionale al capitale, e crea mutuo aiuto e libertà. Lottare insieme attorno agli stessi bisogni reali, comuni per tutti gli sfruttati, è anche l’unico modo possibile di fare vera integrazione.
“Puzziamo di incontrollabilità”
Per questo motivo la ex GKN, e soprattutto il suo esempio, ha molti nemici. In quattro anni ha mantenuto una coerenza encomiabile non permettendo a nessuna istituzione di mettere il cappello per vincere un’elezione o crescere nei sondaggi. Ha realizzato tre edizioni del festival di letteratura working class. Ha predisposto un piano di reindustrializzazione dal basso credibile e dettagliato e continua a creare valore in tanti modi. Partendo dal presidio ancora attivo a Campi Bisenzio e in giro per l’Europa. Soprattutto sta diffondendo un’idea pericolosissima per sottrarsi e sottrarci alle regole del potere: “immaginare il tempo altro per uscire dal qualunquismo consumista del salario”. Mi auguro che questa lotta rimanga il più orizzontale possibile resistendo alla tentazione di cercare la risposta in una classe dirigente verticale o qualcosa di simile. Solo imparando dalla storia si può scrivere una nuova storia.La libertà non è un lusso
Per questo paragrafo finale metto a confronto due citazioni che stimolano una riflessione.“La libertà inizia quando riusciamo a liberarci dal regno delle necessità.“Dario Salvetti tratta dal libro
“Il lusso è la necessità che inizia quando la necessità finisce.”
attribuita a Gabrielle Coco ChanelNotiamo certamente un punto in comune; la necessità. Ma considerando che la seconda frase è spesso utilizzata (forse superficialmente) per giustificare la tendenza verso bisogni indotti e per loro natura effimeri, potremmo riflettere su cosa davvero è importante. La pienezza e la ricerca dell’evoluzione individuale che può darci il tempo liberato dalle necessità o la creazione di necessità che tali non sono e che ci mantengono prigionieri?

New BSD Cafe Service: ntfy Server at BSD Cafe
Push notifications have been part of our lives for almost twenty years now. Our days are often punctuated by notifications of all kinds: a new message from the bank, a chat among friends, the work group, the ever-present social networks. All these notifications often have one thing in common: they pass through the servers of our smartphone operating system manufacturers, primarily Apple and Google.
It’s part of the implementation, and that’s fine. But we need to be aware that these notifications reveal a lot about us: in the best case, metadata (meaning they know who sends them to us, the size, etc.). In the worst case, the entire content. Sure, we have nothing to hide. But this morning, when I received a bank transfer from a client, I didn’t lean out the window shouting to the whole neighborhood that a transfer had arrived from that client, of a specific amount, with a specific reference.
UnifiedPush is a protocol that allows creating a different infrastructure for notification distribution. Notifications use WebPush, so they’re encrypted by the sender (e.g., Mastodon or Matrix server) and decrypted by the device. The server, therefore, doesn’t see the notification content itself.
The Service
I’m announcing a service that has already been active for some time – almost a year – on BSD Cafe servers. It’s an ntfy server, and the rationale is simple: if you use it for BSD Cafe services (like Mastodon and Matrix), no notification or data will leave BSD Cafe servers to pass through third parties: from BSD Cafe server, to BSD Cafe ntfy, to your device.
Server address: https://ntfy.bsd.cafe
Obviously it’s not limited only to BSD Cafe services, but you can use it with any other service that supports ntfy or UnifiedPush.
How to Use It
Just install the ntfy app (available on F-Droid, Play Store, etc.), go to settings and set https://ntfy.bsd.cafe as the server. From that moment on, any app opening a UnifiedPush channel will do so through that server.
The server is also accessible via pure https, from a browser: https://ntfy.bsd.cafe
From there you can also create a topic, subscribe, and send or receive messages and updates.
Why
The goal is, also with this service, to provide another opportunity to access content and services without necessarily depending on a fixed provider, because monoculture is and will always be a problem.
The service is available to everyone. Happy notifications!

More Evidence Emerges That One of Saturn’s Moons Could Harbor Life
A recent study of Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, has detected several organic compounds that had never been recorded there before. The findings, published this month in Nature Astronomy, provide new clues about the interior chemical composition of this icy world, as well as new hope that it could harbor life.
The researchers analyzed data from the Cassini probe, which launched in 1997 and studied Saturn and its moons for years until its destruction in 2017. For Enceladus, Cassini gathered data from ice fragments forcefully ejected from the moon’s subsurface ocean up into space.
Enceladus is one of 274 bodies so far discovered in Saturn’s gravitational pull. It measures about 500 kilometers in diameter, making it the planet’s sixth-largest satellite. While this moon does not stand out for its size, it is notable for its cryovolcanoes—geysers at Enceladus’s south pole that spew out water vapor and ice fragments. Plumes of ejected material can extend to nearly 10,000 kilometers in length, which is more than the distance from Mexico to Patagonia, and some of this material rises into space. The outermost of Saturn’s main rings—its E ring—is primarily made up of ice ejected into space by Enceladus.
This material is believed to come from a saline water chamber beneath the moon’s icy crust that is connected to its rocky core. It’s possible that chemical reactions are taking place down there, under high pressure and heat.
Until now, most chemical analyses of ice from Enceladus were of particles deposited in Saturn’s E ring. But during a high-speed flyby of the moon in 2008, Cassini was fortunate enough to directly sample freshly ejected fragments from a cryovolcano. The new research paper reanalyzed this data, confirming the presence of previously detected organic molecules, as well as revealing compounds that had previously been undetected.
“Such compounds are believed to be intermediates in the synthesis of more complex molecules, which could be potentially biologically relevant. It is important to note, however, that these molecules can be formed abiotically as well,” Nozair Khawaja, a planetary scientist at Freie Universität Berlin and lead author of the study, told Reuters. The discovery significantly expands the range of confirmed organic molecules on Enceladus.
The key is that the compounds appeared in freshly ejected particles, suggesting that they were formed within the moon’s hidden ocean or in contact with its internal interfaces, not during their journey through the E ring or via exposure to the conditions of space. This reinforces the hypothesis that hydrothermal processes beneath Enceladus’s surface could be generating rich organic chemistry. Combining this new research with previous studies, scientists have now found five of the six elements essential for life—carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur—in the satellite’s ejected material.
This itself is not a discovery of life, nor of biosignatures—the signs of life. However, the research confirms that Enceladus has the three basic conditions for life to form: liquid water, an energy source, and essential elements and organics. “Enceladus is, and should be ranked, as the prime target to explore habitability and search whether there is life or not,” Khawaja said.

Kubuntu - SDDM not loading
At first Instead of my SDDM I would just see an after image of what was last displayed on screen. But if I typed in my password and pressed enter, it would let me in just fine. Then after following some suggestions from users in r/Kubuntu I’ve made a bit of progress. Now when I boot up my computer instead of the SDDM being invisible, it now doesn’t load at all, from there I switch to tty3 then back to tty2 and then log in through the terminal. After that I run startplasma-wayland and then I have access to my desktop. The post where all this went down - reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/…

How close are we to solid state batteries for electric vehicles? - Ars Technica
Every few weeks, it seems, yet another lab proclaims yet another breakthrough in the race to perfect solid-state batteries: next-generation power packs that promise to give us electric vehicles (EVs) so problem-free that we’ll have no reason left to buy gas-guzzlers.These new solid-state cells are designed to be lighter and more compact than the lithium-ion batteries used in today’s EVs. They should also be much safer, with nothing inside that can burn like those rare but hard-to-extinguish lithium-ion fires. They should hold a lot more energy, turning range anxiety into a distant memory with consumer EVs able to go four, five, six hundred miles on a single charge.
And forget about those “fast” recharges lasting half an hour or more: Solid-state batteries promise EV fill-ups in minutes—almost as fast as any standard car gets with gasoline.
This may all sound too good to be true—and it is, if you’re looking to buy a solid-state-powered EV this year or next. Look a bit further, though, and the promises start to sound more plausible. “If you look at what people are putting out as a road map from industry, they say they are going to try for actual prototype solid-state battery demonstrations in their vehicles by 2027 and try to do large-scale commercialization by 2030,” says University of Washington materials scientist Jun Liu, who directs a university-government-industry battery development collaboration known as the Innovation Center for Battery500 Consortium.
Indeed, the challenge is no longer to prove that solid-state batteries are feasible. That has long since been done in any number of labs around the world. The big challenge now is figuring out how to manufacture these devices at scale, and at an acceptable cost.

My social worker says I have to come out if I want them to use the correct name and pronouns.
Hi, so I'm a high school student and I happen to be trans FtM. I know I'm quite young, but I do believe in the importance of supporting trans people, even young people just in general.
I was born a girl (obviously) but now I'm a guy named Anthony. When I came out to my social worker "Mrs. A" (not her real name or initial), she said that she was proud of me for coming out, but that if I wanted teachers to refer to me as "male", "he/him", Anthony, etc. that I'd have to come out to my legal guardian.
The thing is my guardian isn't the most supportive of trans people. I came out to him a few years ago and he said I was just a confused girl and that "the left was just pushing their agenda onto me". He loves me, I'm sure he does, but he definitely wouldn't support me.
I told my therapist and a good friend of mine and both of them said that was breaking a rule of confidentiality. My sister told me that too. My therapist wonders if it's to get it changed on paperwork or something but says that if I want to be called Anthony at school, there should be no problem.
What do you all think?
I'm not sure if they're the same thing, but back in my day we had a "School Counselor". I told her all about how my mom was abusing us, which backfired on me when she straight up told my mom everything I had said.
Hopefully it's changed on the last couple decades, but back then school counselors weren't required to have any accreditations and had no restriction on privacy.
That was when I learned the employees of the school are there to protect the school, not the students. You should be careful what you share until you've determined what sort of confidentiality you're guaranteed and what training this person has. Outing you or requiring you to out yourself are both pretty messed up to recommend.

in reply to curbstickle • • •How much storage does it have? Google search indicates it may just be 32GB. With a small distro, you just maybe just barely fit text only Wikipedia on there with Kiwix (or whatever the Wikipedia archive reader is called.)
Alternatively, you could put some books from Project Gutenberg on there. Throw in some public domain music recordings, a freely available movie or two (like the ones from the blender project), and maybe some light weight open source games... Then, you could have have yourself a portable offline library which could be shared with no legal repercussions.

in reply to janNatan • • •Its just the 32gb emmc + whatever you shove on an sdxc - technically supports up to 128gb (officially), but by spec its sdxc v3, so untested/unsupported up to 2tb. I've got a bunch of spares at 128gb or less so thats what I'll likely toss in.
I like the idea of a mini library.... but maybe a step further and drop in a front end to navigate books, with a lightweight ebook reader application, and put some anti-capitalist works on there? With a bonus of the AFAQ? Ooh and some anti-fascist materials....

One thing I was thinking about doing, since its OPDS friendly, is setting up a custom catalog to be available publicly that it can access, for ease of adding new books. I'm also going to grab and load a bunch locally, I have some on my library server right now, but I'll probably focus and expand the collection a bit for this.
Maybe something with sections for economics, the environment, anti-imperialism, social progressivism, etc.
I also really like the idea of incorporating some of the piefed rational discourse kit (maybe including some videos in a different section, or links to a wiki? Not sure yet.).
Well that part it looks like will be a project unto itself, but either way - the anti-fascist proselytizer stick has a start!

Waste of time, not going to happen, but the main app ran just fine as bloat on top of bloat.
But light desktop stuff they can do just fine, however that isn't what I want. A few ideas from the original:
- Portable library (definitely going to happen, I'm installing now and going to build Bookworm on it)
- Portable (not mobile) emulation station, may happen, toss some NES and Genesis games on it. May try that out tonight after the library build.
- (not from the other thread) Portable kid distraction (basically boot to gcompris) - maybe, I'll have to see how well that works. Should only need opengl 2.1, but I think that chip supports 4.something, so should be good.

in reply to dick_fineman • • •Retro gaming I think is going to be good for one, cluster-wise I'd be better off with the old pi 3bs I have... somewhere.... I think in with the microcontroller bin (amidst of a pile of esp32s).
I've got a USB gamepad I picked up when radio shack was closing its stores, I think thats with the old consoles though (everything going back to n64, my NES, Genesis, and PS1 are long gone unfortunately), which is at my BIL's house as he is playing my old Wii and PS2. Which is now making me want to take the of Xbox shell and shove a PC in there for the living room, a good excuse to upgrade the living room PC... But a whole new project at the same time lol

in reply to fruitycoder • • •Ah... forgot about them for a while, checking : last update from April "#58 - Dev Kits, Compute Packs, & 2025 Timeline" so in theory now they are on board certification. Good occasion to also check github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/com…
Out of curiosity, did you try one?

in reply to fruitycoder • • •Ah, interesting. I did try it years ago on my desktop with my Valve Index but didn't consider on the SteamDeck. How does it work without 6DoF and controllers?

Might do a "portable" version though!
