Chicha 🇸🇻
Made Salvadorian Chicha, although not quite like how mother made to avoid the chance of getting vinegar haha. It's made with a brown cane sugar processed in an old fashioned way - a company sells the cones of sugar called mi costeñita - and pineapple.
Usually you use fresh pineapple and ferment it using the skins and hopefully you get the right yeasts. However, the pineapple sold in Finland is probably not as fresh as one harvested on the spot in El Salvador.
Thanks to Alzymologist@sopuli.xyz here on Lemmy tho (rip Alzymologist Oy), I got an excellent yeast that gave me the smoothest Chicha I've ever had. Perfectly sweet, with no sourness. It came out to around 12% alcohol in only 4 days too, even though a traditional Chicha takes at least 8.
I saved some of the raw Chicha with yeast in it and am now in the process of making an apple-hibscus drink with it next.

Eigenaar gesloten Duitse kerncentrales: herstart is onzin
Niet heel erg nieuw of verrassend, maar één cijfer springt er wel uit: EnBW schat de kosten van de eindberging van het Duitse kernafval op het enorme bedrag van 170 miljard euro. Enkele weken geleden hadden we al cijfers van het Duitse ministerie van milieu, waaruit bleek dat er per jaar €1,4 miljard naar kernafval gaat en dat in het huidige tempo het Duitse kernafval-fonds snel leeg is. Het fonds is met €24,1 miljard te klein, maar hoeveel te klein precies? De raming van €170 miljard tot 2100 geeft nu daarvoor een indicatie. Maar zeker lijkt wel al dat de eigenaars van de Duitse gesloten kerncentrales niet van plan zijn hun hele rekening te betalen.
Kernenergie trekt een enorme wissel op de toekomst. Ook financieel. Niet doen dus.
VVD hoopt op gesloten Duitse kerncentrales
Tada: de exit-strategie van Silvio Erkens (VVD), omdat hij inziet dat het niet opschiet met die nieuwe kerncentrales in Nederland.Stichting Laka
La posta del culo: giornata mondiale
Questa Posta Del Culo è diversa dalle altre perché invece dei messaggi sui social, affronta un’usanza arrivata a essere grottesca. La giornata mondiale.
La posta del culo: giornata mondiale
Iniziamo col botto: qual è la differenza tra il culo e la giornata mondiale? Nessuna! Per ogni persona ce ne è una.
Parlando sul serio: la giornata mondiale o internazionale è un evento legato a una data specifica, solitamente organizzato dalle nazioni unite o altre realtà più o meno famose per sensibilizzare su un tema sociale o una professione.
Sono nate molto tempo fa, adesso però le si conosce di più perché servono a fare tendenza sui social network: maggiore è il numero di post che ne parlano, maggiore è la possibilità per le aziende di sfruttare a scopo di lucro le persone che si puliscono la coscienza convinte di fare attivismo sul tema del giorno, con un semplice messaggio.
Io sono Spartaco!
Citiamo dal film “Spartacus”, di Stanley Kubrick: “io sono Spartaco!”
Spartaco, cresciuto come schiavo, guida una rivoluzione che l’esercito romano reprime; il generale Crasso è intenzionato a giustiziare tutti i ribelli ma pone loro una condizione: “se mi consegnate Spartaco, vi risparmierò la vita.”
Così uno alla volta iniziano a urlare: “io sono Spartaco!” E alla fine vengono tutti messi a morte per crocifissione ma la vera identità di Spartaco non è mai stata scoperta.
Cosa c’entra con la giornata mondiale?
Se tutti sono Spartaco, nessuno è Spartaco! Allo stesso modo se ogni data corrisponde a una giornata mondiale importante, nessuna ricorrenza viene ricordata davvero. Anzi ogni giornata mondiale viene presa in giro e quasi nessuno ne conosce la storia.
Riportiamo come dimostrazione l’elenco delle giornate mondiali presenti a settembre. Sono vere? Sono finte? Alla fine diventa irrilevante, anche perché in alcuni giorni ce ne è più di una.
Settembre: le giornate mondiali
- 1 settembre: giornata mondiale della barba, e della lettera d’amore
- 2 settembre: giornata mondiale della cognizione (come? Che cavolo è?)
- 3 settembre: giornata internazionale delle caprette, e delle persone barbute (ma il giorno della barba non era l’uno?)
- 4 settembre: giornata mondiale della salute sessuale (ecco, di questa si dovrebbe parlare un po’ più seriamente)
- 5 settembre: giornata internazionale della carità. (non lo sapevamo, è anche il compleanno di Freddie Mercury. Al prossimo giro passeremo col piattino cantando le sue canzoni…)
- 6 settembre: giornata mondiale dei barbieri (ma perché non uniscono con la barba e le persone barbute? Mistero).
- 7 settembre: giornata internazionale dell’aria pulita per i cieli blu. (sottotitolo: vietato scoreggiare e avere l’alito cattivo, giusto?)
- 8 settembre: giornata mondiale della fisioterapia (uno di noi ha un genitore fisioterapista che, neanche a dirlo… non sapeva niente). Più giornata internazionale dell’alfabetizzazione.
- 9 settembre: giornata mondiale della sindrome feto-alcolica e della bellezza (due materie coerenti una con l’altra, vero?)
- 10 settembre: giornata mondiale per la prevenzione del suicidio…
Potremmo andare avanti ancora perché ce ne sono fino al 30, addirittura giorni con due ricorrenze ciascuno ma non vale la pena perderci tempo anche se approfondire le storie alla base di una singola giornata, può farci scoprire qualcosa di interessante.
Non vogliamo essere come i cospirazionisti ma, nel nostro blog, siamo liberi di esprimere un cattivo pensiero: non è che istituire la giornata mondiale per ogni stupidaggine serva proprio a nascondere quelle più rilevanti per la società civile?
- 4 settembre: salute sessuale
- 10 settembre: prevenzione dei suicidi
- 11 settembre: primo soccorso
- 14 settembre: donazione del midollo osseo
- 15 settembre: giornata internazionale della democrazia
- 21 settembre: giornata internazionale della pace
- 26 settembre: giornata per l’eliminazione delle armi nucleari, giornata europea delle lingue, giornata della contraccezione.
- 28 settembre: giornata dell’accesso universale all’informazione
Ora uno ci dovrebbe spiegare perché la giornata mondiale per l’eliminazione totale delle armi nucleari sia stata messa il 26 settembre insieme alla giornata della contraccezione e quella europea delle lingue.
Tutte e tre, per diversi motivi, avrebbero la loro rilevanza nella società contemporanea. In Europa sarebbe l’occasione per riflettere sul fatto che si insiste a chiamarsi “unione” però ogni paese parla la propria lingua e, quella comune, è l’inglese che ha origine in uno Stato non facente più parte della sedicente unione europea. Come la mettiamo?
Abbiamo citato queste apposta, perché nel periodo storico in cui viviamo la pace, la democrazia, la libertà sessuale e riproduttiva e il benessere sono ad altissimo rischio e sarebbe necessaria una consapevolezza maggiore.
Noi quando abbiamo iniziato il blog, siamo un po’ caduti nella tendenza di catturare ogni giornata mondiale e farla raccontare al nostro virus HIV senziente ma poi ci siamo resi conto che non riuscivamo a starci dietro e al posto di divertirci, ci sentivamo sotto pressione.
Facciamo pure fatica a celebrare la giornata contro l’HIV e AIDS (primo dicembre), figuriamoci le altre! Lasciamole a chi ha tempo da perdere.
Postal traffic to U.S. drops over 80% after trade exemption rule ends, U.N. agency says
The U.N.'s Universal Postal Union (UPU) said the global postal network saw postal traffic en route to the U.S. "come to a near halt" after Aug. 29, when the "de minimis" trade exemption that allowed small packages worth less than $800 to be exempt from tariffs ended. Data between postal operators shows that traffic dropped 81% on Aug. 29 compared to a week earlier, the union said. The UPU also said it is working on ways to get traffic flowing back to the country.
At least 88 postal operators have suspended some or all services to the United States until there is a solution, the union said.
Uvalde, TX, Police Chief Arredondo is now facing criminal charges over law enforcement’s delayed confrontation with the gunman.
After the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary, school leaders in Uvalde, Texas, initially planned to publicly defend district Police Chief Pete Arredondo, but officials instead chose to remain silent as investigations into police actions unfolded, newly released records show. Arredondo is now facing criminal charges over law enforcement’s delayed confrontation with the gunman.
The previously unreported details were revealed in over 25,000 pages of records the district has disclosed over the course of a week since Aug. 26 after a yearslong legal fight with news outlets, including ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, which filed over 70 public information requests for the records in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
However, the district’s law firm may have again failed to disclose all of the requested information, according to Laura Prather, one of the attorneys representing the newsrooms in the records litigation. Prather sent a letter Friday demanding the district publish the remaining files, which could include details about the school maintenance issues with doors that failed to lock, Arredondo’s severance and additional communications among officials. Decker, the district’s lawyer, did not respond to requests for comment.

Treasury Secretary Comes Unglued: ‘I’m Gonna Punch You in Your F—ing Face’
These People Deserve Each OtherTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent got into a heated confrontation with Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte last week at the Executive Branch, the MAGA-chic private club in D.C., Politico reports.
Bessent accused Pulte, the MAGA influencer ginning up mortgage fraud claims against Trump foes, of bad-mouthing him to Trump, leading to this diatribe from the sitting Treasury secretary: “Why the fuck are you talking to the president about me? Fuck you. I’m gonna punch you in your fucking face.”
Co-owner Omeed Malik attempted to intervene in the confrontation, prompting this memorable exchange:
“It’s either me or him,” Bessent said to Malik. “You tell me who’s getting the fuck out of here.”
“Or,” he added, “we could go outside.”
“To do what?” asked Pulte. “To talk?”
“No,” Bessent replied. “I’m going to fucking beat your ass.”
Even Trump-world insiders described the scene to Politico as “bonkers” and “unhinged.”

bloggistiche immagini rubacchiate alla gran G (immagini stock di Blogger salvate in Pignio)
Stamattina stavo (ri)guardando le immagini stock di Blogger, che vengono proposte da usare come sfondi decorativi sui siti dal pannello admin, e… mi è venuto in mente che dovevo pigniarli (e ci mancherebbe altro, ormai). In realtà, io pensavo fossero sfondi esclusivi di Google, anche se sotto sotto sospettavo di no… e infatti sono immagini stock premium normalissime, provenienti dai vari siti soliti… ma questo non vuol dire che non siano da salvare nella mia pineta multimediale, visto come possono sempre tornare utili nei momenti più casuali. 🙂
Sono ben 372 immagini uniche, molte JPEG e qualcuna PNG, quasi tutte in alta risoluzione, ma ovviamente tutte senza watermark, per cui evidentemente sono tutte state comprate da Google per permettere agli utenti di usarle gratis complementando i vari temi offerti (ma da almeno un decennio eh, non è roba recente, e lo si vede da come Blogger ancora usa il benedettissimo Material v1)… E certamente non sono state pagate da Google perché io potessi scaricarmele tutte e archiviarmele nella mia libreria dell’accumulo ordinato, quindi è servita indubbiamente un pochino di magia per compiere il misfatto, ma in pochi minuti ci ho messo comunque le mani sopra, su tutte (perché alcune mi piacciono tanto). 🪆Sono servite due fasi per compiere l’opera. Fase 1: usare la console JavaScript del browser per copiare i metadati di tutte le immagini dalla pagina attiva ad un oggetto JSON, cliccando una sezione alla volta ed eseguendo per ciascuna il mio codicino che prende le immagini dal DOM… e poi fase 2: chiedere a Copilot di scrivere uno scriptino per scaricare tutte le immagini dal JSON su disco e creare i file INI corrispondenti per Pignio. (E, fase 3, suppongo: eseguire lo script e godere.) E poi in realtà ho dovuto spendere fin troppi minuti per filtrare a mano (con solo l’aiuto di Czkawka) le immagini duplicate che sono uscite fuori, perché svariate erano ripetute in più categorie, ma era comunque meno problematico fare così che sbattermi per avere uno script che tenesse conto già di questo schifo, vabbé. ✋
Adesso che ho anche aggiornato Pignio per mostrare le liste delle sottocartelle, collezioni di questo tipo lì sopra sono anche più epiche di prima, quindi ecco tutte queste belle (o quantomeno decenti) immagini stock con licenza non specificata (insomma, riutilizzabili solo a proprio rischio e pericolo, come piace a me): … e, qui ci sono gli appunti delle varie fasi, comprensivi di sloppa IA per gran divertimento: memos.octt.eu.org/m/nZo3BpL67C…. E ora, ancora, appena ho voglia, mi prenderò pure le immagini di Google Sites, che sono diverse (ma sono di meno, forse una cinquantina, quindi si fa subito anche solo a mano). 🎭

The Red State Resistance Blueprint
Forget scorecards and accountability assemblies. These polite tactics assume shame still works on politicians who've proven themselves shameless. That's bringing a pencil to a gunfight. This is political asymmetric warfare, and anti-authoritarians need to weaponize every legal mechanism available. Every tactic described here operates within existing law.Consult local statutes and file only legitimate, good-faith complaints. But file them relentlessly.
Ethics complaints, criminal referrals, FOIA bombardments, bar complaints, IRS whistleblower reports: these are the tools that actually destroy political careers. Corrupt politicians have vulnerabilities: campaign finance violations, unreported income, conflicts of interest, misuse of office resources. These corrupt practices are often integral to their systematic exploitation.Criminal complaints also work. Bob Menendez got 11 years. Duncan Hunter got 11 months in prison for stealing over $250,000 in campaign funds. File criminal referrals with state attorneys general. Even unsuccessful investigations drain resources. Politicians routinely spend six figures to millions on defense lawyers while under investigation. Trump spent over $100 million on legal fees during his criminal investigations and civil lawsuits from 2022-2024. Force them to lawyer up repeatedly.
FOIA functions as a powerful tool. Scott Pruitt's career ended after Sierra Club's relentless FOIA campaign exposed his secret calendars and industry meetings. Hillary Clinton's email scandal started with a FOIA request filed by journalist Jason Leopold. File requests for calendars, emails, text messages, visitor logs. Appeal every denial. Litigate when necessary. Organizations like CREW maintain hundreds of active FOIA requests and lawsuits, creating constant pressure.

Best Fediverse platforms to do it all right this time
Y'all, I'm a big fan of Lemmy, and looking to get out of the walled gardens and into the fediverse as much as I can.
I'm wondering about a few things, so let me know before I go signing up for everything if I'm doing this right or what.
I'm looking for some sort of blog/html hosting site, and I think that Hubzilla is appropriate for this, but I'm not sure. Primarily, I just want some space for some webgames and assets. Nothing crazy. That might also be Codeberg (OSS, not federated AFAIK), but I'm not sure about Hubzilla since it seems to do everything. Federating from Wordpress won't work because they seem to have their direct HTML editing access locked down to the point that it's not what I need.
I understand that pixelfed is the IG parallel (I don't use IG more than seeing what my spouse and 1 friend sends me), but are there multiple options for FB replacement? Or just Friendica? I genuinely don't think I'll have any IRL friends on Friendica if I go look, but I'm not going to have to provide an ID. But hey, there's always my 500th overlapping Linux enthusiast group to join.
Thanks in advance - all advice appreciated!

in reply to Lumisal • • •It's easy to make too, but especially so with that yeast I got from Alzymologist. This is Jar 1 of 2, but you just dissolve the brown sugar cone in boiling water, then let that fully cool down. Then add half a pineapple for this size jar, the yeast, stir, and leave it in a dark place. I manually released the extra gas from it throughout the day, but if you have the money you can get a proper fermenting jar / bucket / lid. You can either strain and filter it fresh to get a bubbly, more sour Chicha, or if you really want to make sure you don't get vinegar and have it for longer term storage / have it taste sweeter and smoother without the bubbles and no sourness, you put it in a big metal pot with a fully sealed lid, boil it for like a minute, then turn off the heat and leave it in the pot without opening the lid until it's fully cooled down the next day. That's why I made 2 jars, to have one of each.
MuteDog
in reply to Lumisal • • •I've always heard this drink called Tepache.
My understanding of Chicha is that it is a corn/maize based fermented beverage and the starches in the corn are traditionally converted to sugars by chewing the corn and spitting it out, human saliva contains amylase enzymes which converts the starch. Modern versions of the beverage can be made with malted corn if you don't wanna drink fermented spit.

in reply to Lumisal • • •Haha, great to see success! Looks inviting to drink.
Be careful with propagation, without the 1-cell steps occasionally, it's certain to get contaminated eventually. This particular strain does not even seem to have a killing feature to suppress other microbiota other than by starvation.
Yeah, the company is over and this was the last shipment. Actually the Posti lost the shipment and this was some informal sample I just made at home as a replacement long after operations stopped (so no fancy labels anymore!). Such an adventure.
But if someone needs the yeast, I still keep the library as a personal project, so DM.
robsteranium
in reply to Alexander • • •Could you elaborate on what you mean by "1-cell" steps?
I didn't realise yeasts have "killing features" either... I thought the whole idea with fermentation was to create the right conditions for your favoured micro-organism to out compete the rest!
Alexander
in reply to robsteranium • • •The pure culture process (pretty much all the stuff invented by Pasteur) is based on isolating a single living cell of yeast and then growing a culture of its genetic clones by natural budding (our brewer yeast lost ability to reproduce by other means some centuries ago). This ensures that chances of mutation are small and there are no other organisms in the culture. It also rejuvenates yeast, as growth conditions in this process are much more favorable and pleasant, so that cells generation can build large energy reserves inside. This is surprisingly low tech, could be done at home (lol that's what I do), but it takes certain discipline, even more cleaning than brewing.
As of killing feature, I'm not sure exactly what it is, but for some lines they report an ability to efficiently inhibit the activity of competing organisms by means others than just outcompeting them in multiplication and consumption of nutrients. These lines should be better for introducing uncooked stuff to fermentation (fruits, berries, spices, maybe raw honey), although I'd say that really vigorous yeast can outcompete almost anything under common conditions, maybe save for really high pitch rate of acetobacter. I don't pay much attention to this feature really, but it's a curiosity IMO.
robsteranium
in reply to Alexander • • •Can you really isolate a single cell without a laboratory?! What sort of equipment? This sounds more involved than just innoculating some wort with a spoonful of yeast sediment...
I tried to look at yeast under a 40x-640x microscope but just saw a brown blur! I presumed you would need expensive stains/ growth media to experiment properly.
