Ciรฒ che lโAI non potrร mai inventare
Alimberto Torri
Racconti brevi
Auto pubblicazione
2/01/2025
pp 108
Brevi racconti dallo spessore filosofico condotti e diretti dalla leggerezza del comico e dellโassurdo. Unโopera da ridere perchรจ la vita รจ una cosa troppo seria per essere presa seriamente.
Personaggi inventati, ma cosรฌ inventati da essere veri. Veritร profonde, ma cosรฌ profonde da parer impossibili. Un viaggio alla scoperta di noi stessi senza essere sempre gli stessi. Cosa cโรจ alla fine della ricerca, di quel racconto brevis che รจ la vita
โRacconti Breโ: lโarte della brevitร secondo Alimberto Torri
Il libro Racconti Bre di Alimberto Torri รจ un piccolo custode di retorica, psicologia, humor e sagaci metafore. Una raccolta che non si lascia leggere con leggerezza, perchรฉ invita il lettore a scrutare nelle pieghe piรน complesse dellโanimo umano.
Non รจ una lettura semplice, e questo รจ il suo pregio. Alcuni brani mi hanno costretto a fermarmi, a rileggere piรน volte, non certo per mancanza di chiarezza, ma per lโintensitร che li pervade. ร il tipo di scrittura che non lascia scampo: chiede attenzione, chiede tempo.
Ho domandato allโautore quanto impegno avesse richiesto un lavoro cosรฌ denso, e la sua risposta racconta molto del senso del libro:
โOgni racconto breve si fonda su studi di psicologia, sociologia e filosofia. Per molti mi sono dovuto documentare e studiare il particolare modo di essere e di vivere di alcuni gruppi sociali.
Ogni racconto ha almeno due livelli di lettura: quello letterale e quello metaforico. Ma si puรฒ arrivare anche a quattro: letterale, metaforico, simbolico e anagogico.
So perfettamente che per arrivare a quello anagogico bisogna fare un poโ di fatica, ma รจ quella fatica lรฌ che ti apre la mente a nuove possibilitร di conoscenza. Non sono racconti da una notte: lโintento รจ far riflettere, e la riflessione ha i suoi tempi. โIl regno dei cieli รจ come il chicco di senapeโ.โ
Parole che chiariscono il cuore del progetto: Racconti Bre non vuole intrattenere, ma stimolare. Non punta a distrarre, ma a guidare.
La tradizione del racconto breve.
La forma del racconto breve, spesso sottovalutata dai lettori che prediligono i grandi romanzi, ha in realtร una lunga e nobile tradizione. Da Edgar Allan Poe, che teorizzรฒ lโunitร dโeffetto in ogni singolo racconto, a Italo Calvino, che con le sue Cosmicomiche seppe condensare lโuniverso in poche pagine, la brevitร non รจ mai sinonimo di semplicitร .
Come scriveva Anton ฤechov: โLa brevitร รจ sorella del talentoโ. In poche pagine si puรฒ racchiudere un mondo, ed รจ ciรฒ che Torri sembra voler dimostrare con le sue โchicche letterarieโ, piccole schegge di umanitร pronte a far sorridere, ma anche a far riflettere.
Una lettura per il presente
In queste storie, Alimberto Torri sembra lanciare un messaggio attualissimo:
โLโAI non potrร fare ogni cosa!โ
Unโaffermazione che si colloca nel cuore del dibattito contemporaneo. Puรฒ la tecnologia sostituire la profonditร di un pensiero, la complessitร di unโemozione, la metafora che unisce logica e poesia? Forse no, e lโautore sembra sperare con forza che la risposta resti negativa.
Vivere รจ un racconto breve
Racconti Bre si legge come un piccolo manifesto esistenziale: la vita stessa รจ breve, ricca di emozioni e contraddizioni, proprio come i racconti che la rappresentano.
Un volume che invita il lettore a rallentare, a lasciarsi interrogare e sorprendere. Perchรฉ ogni parola, come un chicco di senape, porta con sรฉ il potenziale di un intero mondo.

Devil's Club
In a recent trip to Alaska on a cruise we went to Juneau and in their gold mining tourist trap (a very good one by the way) I found something interesting in their store. I was literally sold via their snake oil-like "weird substance in a bottle".
Anyway, let me tell you, ever since I moved to the PNW I suffer from hemorrhoids. One time it got extremely bad. I applied devil's club and within a few minutes I wasn't feeling pins and needles itchiness down in my butt hole. That's one, but two I kept applying it a few times over a month like I do with preparation H and the hemorrhoids are gone! I mean I'm not going to go eat a ghost pepper pie any day but holy moly. I also treated a rash on my neck and groin that kept expanding and I thought was cancer and I was going to die of. I'm not saying don't go see a doctor, go see a doctor for any of this. But I'm just posting a PSA. At least some of the tourist trap bs about this plant is true or has some technology behind it that the big pharma hasn't been able to distill and eliminate.
I'm not a wako crazy person but I did go vegan recently to stop contributing to animal pain and suffering and to prevent heart decease and obesity in my self... This change did not make me loose weight or cure my hemorrhoids.
On the topic of hemorrhoids, let me explain I'm gory details what I think triggers those things in me. Any time I eat pizza or jalapeรฑos, peronchini, jalapeรฑo pickles, onions, tomatoes, I get a hemorrhoid. You'll be walking around and suddenly feel a little itch in your butt hole. In the shower you can explored that itch with your finger. It turns out to start like a pimple on the interior skin of your butt hole. It slowly, over a period of days gets bigger and eventually surprises you by popping out when you're popping. Red bloody stools galore. You'll have bloddy stools for a while. The popping can range from just seeing blood to super painful, you wanna be done with this existence pain. The worst part is cleaning with toilet paper. The little polips feel like a tiny pimple inside very thin skin. That polio eventually grows into a little sack that hangs outside your butt hole and then one day pops.
Look I'm sorry to have to describe all that, but it's true and hopefully someone benefits from this technology. Now, a day or two after applying the devils club you'll feel no different, but in the shower you can explore the polips and the darn thing get smaller and smaller until they're gone.
Once I discovered this, which prep H doesn't really do, I decided to just roll with this. So yeah, I applied that stuff a few times a week for some month and then I forgot. I forgot to apply and I forgot those pesky little pins and needles sobs. This morning I was reading up about it so I thought I should post on here.
One more thing, you can find it on Amazon. Devil's club salve.
Its cheaper on Amazon than at the tourist trap for obvious reasons.
Yes this is not circuits in a box with a shiny glass screen. But its technology and hopefully it helps someone try it out.
If my hemorrhoids do comeback I will not let you all know LOL.

โWe will never, ever escapeโ: inside the ever-tightening siege of the Sudanese city of El Fasher
El Fasher had been under siege for more than 500 days. In May 2024, the UN warned it teetered on the โbrink of famineโ. No aid has entered since. Somehow, against all odds, El Fasher has not fallen. Its defenders โ a hotchpotch of volunteers like Abdelghaffa, rebels such as Bakhit and a depleted infantry battalion โ have been shoehorned into a shrinking slice of the pulverised city with 260,000 trapped residents, half of them children.
Yet aid has not entered for nearly 18 months.The evidence indicates a key US and UK ally intervened to effectively derail lifesaving humanitarian aid entering El Fasher. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) intruded at a critical stage; hundreds of children are believed to have since died from starvation in the city.
The UAE, repeatedly accused of supplying arms to the RSF, denies it supports the group. Informed sources monitoring the crisis claim that one of the longest urban sieges of modern warfare has only been possible because of such backing. โThe UAE is the lifeline to the siege. Without its support, the RSF would have called it off.โ

[Help] Media Server + *arr stack: Follow TRaSH guides or my own setup?
Hello everybody,
I want to ask for some opinions on my current setup and how I pretend to use it for my Media Server:
Current Layout
I currently use an UGREEN DXP2800 NAS running TrueNAS Scale with two 4 TB HDDs in Mirror mode. This is planned to be my "long-term storage" for backups, photos, and so on.
Additionally, I have 1 TB SSD installed in the system. I created two datasets on it: one for Docker containers and the other one for Media, following the TRaSH guides folder layout
My current plan:
My idea is to use the SSD for the torrents and the seeds, and once the file (e.g. the ~~movie ~~ Linux ISO Image) is completed, to move it to the HDDs. From there, Jellyfin would read the corresponding dataset and play the media.
The question:
The TRaSH guides puts a lot of emphasis on hardlinks and atomic moves, and that forces you to operate in one single filesystem. Is it worth it to stick to the TRaSH guide or my current setup would work just fine? What do y'all think?
Thanks in advance and happy self-hosting!

I was considering using the SSD to avoid wear and tear in the HDD because of the nature of the torrent downloads. My idea was using the SSD as a temporary/cache drive for the download itself, and then only executing one transfer move to the HDD once the media is completed. Drive noise was another concern, since my NAS sits in my living room and I want to avoid hearing the drives spinning constantly.
I am using two Seagate Ironwolf HDD, which are NAS certified. Will they suffer if I use them for downloading as well as seeding?
As an idea, I use an SSD as a "Default Download Directory" within qBittorrent itself, and then qB automatically moves it to a HDD when the download is fully finished. I do this because I want the write to be sequential going into my ZFS pool, since ZFS has no defragmentation capabilities.
Hardlinks are only important if you want to continue seeding the media in its original form and also have a cleaned-up/renamed copy in your Jellyfin library. If you're going to continue to seed from the HDD, it doesn't matter that the initial download is done on the SSD. The *arr stack will make the hardlink only after the download is finished.
I run deluge torrent with openVPN with pivoxy in a container.
Arr stack and deluge uses proxy if the VPN drops off, all secure communication halts by default.
Arr stack has default download set to SSD, copies files to a rotational disk storage on completion. continues to host the seed from the SSD.
Once in a blue moon, I'll go back through Deluge and right-click Delete torrent and data for stuff that's well satisfied and who are really available.
Once a year or so, I'll go back and make sure that there's no extra stuff in the download folders.
You're fine without hard links as long as you have enough space and don't mind a little maintenance now and then.

Italy sends warship to accompany Gaza flotilla following Israeli attack
Italy is sending a ship to accompany the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, who said its activists remain shaken but determined following an Israeli attack on Wednesday morning.
Organisers of expedition, which is attempting to carry aid to the Gaza Strip, shared footage this morning appears to show an explosion that detonated on one of the flotilla's vessels.
Late on Tuesday activists heard explosions and saw drones that targeted some of their boats, currently situated off Greece. "Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats," the Global Sumud Flotilla said.
"I have authorised the immediate intervention of the Navy's frigate Fasan, which was sailing north of Crete and is heading towards the area," Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement.
