####Edit:

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!

Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia

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.

Admittedly, I live in a car centered American city.

Thats exactly why so many people think EVs are the only solution. They have never actually experienced fast, efficient, convenient, and clean public transit. The vast majority of the US thinks public transit equals an hourly bus thats never on time and reeks of piss, and thats a fair view because for many thats all they have ever been offered.

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?

in reply to DahGangalang

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.

in reply to DahGangalang

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.

UK Government Issues New Order to Access iCloud User Data


in reply to St3alth

It's just a bullshit game of political pride at this point. Anti-privacy pundits criticised the UK gov for "caving to the US" after they dropped the previous order so now they're doubling down on trying to take away their citizens privacy in the name of standing up to the US. How brave. Not that the US gov gives a shit about privacy either




On Parot OS & got "This device is using NextDNS with no profile."


All I've done so far is add the DNS server to my VPN, Mulvad, and run the install of Next DNS. I have not linked my ID with the OS and can't figure out how to do it. How do I link it? I can't figure out where to set it up. On Android I added to the PrivateDNS in settings. But in Parot OS I can't figure out where that is. I am so sorry to be such a newb here.

Regarding account deletion...


First things first, when i delete any account i have i make sure to delete everything inside the account first, convos, posts, stories or any type of activity.

I'm in process of deleting my instagram and i already cleaned everything up except the final boss, my story archive, i have never toggled the archiving option off so the archive has accumulated stories for around 8 years, and of course meta won't let you bulk delete the archive.

my question is, does it really matter doing all of that before deleting when it comes to privacy?

or can i just simply ignore the fact that the story archive is still there and delete the account anyway?

I'm not even sure about all the steps that i do but i just do it so everthing feels clean when i arrive to the deletion button.

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.


-The Land Institute

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.

in reply to MuteDog

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.

Theoretically - It doesn't matter. They flag all your data with a "user asked for it to be deleted" flag. It's still data that their statisticians can play with. If it was public then internet archive grabbed a screenshot.

Practically - Deleting it is almost always sufficient. They probably take a month to get rid of it. Nobody want's to explain to a future compliance officer why data is just sitting around waiting to be subpoenaed in a privacy lawsuit. If it's fake deleted then it's probably pseudo anonymized for internal research. Almost all search engines will forget the data existed over time.

Meta will probably not truly "delete" anything. Personally to make it as "deleted" as possible, I would still delete all of the content before closing the account, but theres no real way to know how they handle these things.

It doesn't hurt to be thorough but FWIW they say it will be deleted:

What happens if I permanently delete my Facebook account?

Your profile, photos, posts, videos, and everything else you've added will be permanently deleted. You won't be able to retrieve anything you've added.




Could federated social media networks enhance cooperative behavior between everyone, relative to both insular and massively popular services?


[Derek] When Watts dug deeper, he realized that the network structure did matter. In the more clustered networks, people were more likely
30:27
to copy each other. So if by chance someone started out cooperating, then everyone would cooperate.
30:34
But it was equally likely that someone would start out by defecting, in which case everyone else would defect.
30:40
And over all the games they played, these two effects canceled each other out, which is why it seemed like
30:46
the network structure didn't matter. - [Duncan] It's sort of on a knife edge, right? Where like one person does something selfish
30:54
and everything goes south. In another world, everybody kind of holds it together
31:00
and everything goes well. It's crazy that the world could be like on a knife edge like that, you know,
31:06
could tip one way or the other, kind of just depends on how someone gets out of bed that day.
31:11
But then Watts realized something. See, in real life, you can choose who you hang out with.
31:17
So he reran the experiment allowing players to change who they were playing with. And this time he used the prisoner's dilemma
31:23
so that players could easily identify the defectors. - [Derek] And the finding was clear, the more you allowed players
31:30
to choose who they were playing with, the more likely they were to cooperate

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.”



Spain bans transit of US arms shipments to Israel via Rota, Moron bases


Spain prohibited on Monday the transit of US military aircraft and vessels carrying arms, ammunition, or equipment destined for Israel through its bases at Rota (Cadiz) and Moron de la Frontera (Seville), sources familiar with the functioning of the US-Spain Joint Committee confirmed.

“Rota and Moron are not a backdoor,” said the sources, who wanted to stay anonymous, Spanish daily El Pais reported.

The sources stressed that both remain sovereign Spanish bases under Spanish command and that all activity requires Madrid’s authorization.

The move comes as Washington continues to supply the bulk of weaponry used by Israel in its offensive on Gaza, where more than 66,000 people have been killed.

Jumping into openSUSE Leap 16


The openSUSE project has released Leap 16, its first major release since openSUSE Leap 15 in May 2018. This release brings some changes to the core of the distribution aside from the usual software upgrades; YaST has been retired, SELinux has replaced AppArmor as the default mandatory access control (MAC) system, and more.

I guess, the idea is mainly that you can also perform the installation over the network. I can imagine this being quite cool for setting up a Raspberry Pi or similar.
