Domenica 12 ottobre, Genova celebra Cristoforo Colombo con una serie di iniziative che culminano nella cerimonia colombiana a Palazzo Ducale, che si conclude con il conferimento dell’onorificenza del Grifo Città di Genova alla partigiana Mirella Alloisio. Come da tradizione ad anticipare l’evento più solenne, alle ore 15, le partenze dei cortei storici, che animano il centro cittadino.
La prima iniziativa ha come protagonista il Corteo Storico del Comune di Genova, con una sfilata da Palazzo Ducale che attraversa piazza Matteotti, piano di Sant’Andrea, Porta Soprana e vico Dritto Ponticello per raggiungere la Casa di Colombo dove si tiene una cerimonia commemorativa con deposizione di corone e interventi istituzionali.

Il secondo appuntamento, intitolato “I Chiostri del Tempo di Colombo”, è organizzato dal Comitato Nazionale per Colombo di Bruno Aloi ed è patrocinato dal Comune di Genova. L’evento prevede la partenza contemporanea di due cortei che confluiscono in piazza De Ferrari: il “Corteo del Nuovo Mondo” (percorso via Garibaldi, piazza Fontane Marose, via XXV Aprile); il “Corteo del Vecchio Mondo” (Casa di Colombo, via Dante, via Fieschi e via XX Settembre). Insieme, poi, lungo via San Lorenzo sino a Calata Falcone Borsellino, al Porto Antico, dove viene rievocato lo sbarco di Cristoforo Colombo a San Salvador il 12 ottobre 1492. L’iniziativa coinvolge complessivamente circa 350 figuranti.
Dalle ore 17, nel Salone del Maggior Consiglio di Palazzo Ducale, si svolgerà la Cerimonia Colombiana, istituita negli anni Cinquanta. La celebrazione sarà aperta dal saluto ai liguri nel mondo da parte della sindaca di Genova Silvia Salis alla presenza di Mario Menini, presidente dell’Associazione Liguri nel Mondo.
Seguiranno gli interventi del presidente di Regione Liguria Marco Bucci, dell’assessore comunale alla Cultura Giacomo Montanari e del direttore del Galata Museo del Mare Piero Campodonico. In rappresentanza del Consiglio dei Ministri interverrà il ministro per la Pubblica Amministrazione Paolo Zangrillo.
La relazione annuale, affidata a Roberto Santamaria, ricercatore dell’Università per Stranieri di Siena, avrà come tema: “Non solo Colombo: i genovesi dominatori del commercio del marmo nel Mar Mediterraneo”.
Nel corso della commemorazione verranno conferiti i Premi Colombiani. La Medaglia Colombiana al professor Antonio Musarra, riconoscimento destinato a chi, indipendentemente dalla nazionalità, si sia distinto per ardimento, impegno negli studi e nelle esperienze, nonché per audacia nelle realizzazioni di alto valore umano o in efficaci contributi scientifici e divulgativi.
Il Premio Internazionale delle Comunicazioni “Cristoforo Colombo” sarà conferito al Corpo delle Capitanerie di Porto – Guardia Costiera, per il contributo offerto, attraverso scoperte, ricerche o iniziative di valore tecnico, scientifico, sociale e umano, al progresso delle comunicazioni e alla collaborazione tra i popoli.
Il Premio Internazionale dello Sport andrà invece a Giovanni Malagò. Il premio viene conferito ad atleta, sportivo o ente, associazione o persona che abbia meglio contribuito nell’anno a valorizzare lo sport, considerato non solo nei suoi aspetti fisici ed agonistici, ma anche in quelli spirituali ed educativi.
Nel corso della cerimonia sarà inoltre presentata l’offerta dell’olio da parte del Comune di Riomaggiore, destinato alla lampada votiva che arde presso le ceneri di Cristoforo Colombo, custodite nel Faro di Santo Domingo.
La commemorazione si concluderà con il conferimento dell’onorificenza del Grifo Città di Genova a Mirella Alloisio, da parte della sindaca Silvia Salis, in riconoscimento del suo costante impegno nel rafforzare i valori e l’identità della comunità genovese.

cinturanza rinnovistica di grado 3 per la banda ximi numero 9 (i nuovi cinturini arrivati)


Alla fine, a ritirare i fantasmagorici cinturini per la mia povera Mi Band 9 castigata ci è andato mio padre ieri sera, che doveva fare la spesa con mia madre, e allora è passato al bloccatore Amazon… e ora si gode? Non saprei, a dire il vero, ma l’emergenza è sicuramente passata, e ora posso di nuovo indossare il mio orologino magico cinese come un orologio, anziché come una collanina strana come ho fatto per questi giorni — perché alla fine, in realtà, devo dire che quell’idea non è stata terribile, e almeno come ripiego base ha funzionato, riuscendo a contarmi quantomeno i passi e permettendomi di vedere l’ora senza ricorrere ad altri oggetti… 😯
Foto dei 3 cinturini un po' a caso sulla mia scrivania, quello rosa ha la mia Mi Band agganciata
Beh, i cinturini a questo giro sono ben 3 — …che sono in realtà pochini per essere venduti in blocco, ma questo passa il convento nel nostro sistema economico malato — perché, con un budget ridotto, ho preferito comprarne una serie di uguali, anziché uno solo con gli stessi soldi… Cioè, partendo dalla condizione di avere 0 cinturini da parte, è meglio comprarne qualcuno in più di soltanto 1, perché, se se ne compra solo uno, e poi pure quello si rompe, si è punto e a capo nella stessa vecchia rogna… cinturini simpatici più pazzi, che da soli costano abbastanza, li posso sempre comprare poi, magari su AliExpress addirittura. 👌

E allora, boh! Solita marca assolutamente sconosciuta, e un totale di 9,99 euro… quindi, 10 euro… però con uno sconto del 5% al momento dell’ordine… quindi di 50 centesimi… quindi 9,49 euro… e ok, va: amazon.it/-/en/Msksjer-Compati…. Devo dire però che i colori nelle immagini non rispecchiano per niente bene quelli effettivi (mentre nei dettagli testuali dell’inserzione sono giusti, stranamente)… il bianco è più bianco, senza quella strana tinta giallognola che percepisco (e direi che è un bene), quello che sembra marrone è in realtà un rosa “secco” (gradevole, ringraziamo il cielo, altro che marrone), e il verde nella realtà mi appare più pallido (e questo è sia un pro che un contro a seconda dei casi, penso io). Non rendono al 100% nemmeno nelle mie foto, a dire il vero, anche se ho fatto il meglio che potevo, quindi si abbia pazienza… 🔪

Appena tolti dalla confezione ultraminimale che non permette una goduriosa esperienza di unboxing, però, questi cosi mi hanno fatto decisamente scoppiare il cervello, perché ci avrò messo, tra capire come fare a regolarlo in primo luogo, e poi come regolarlo per il mio braccio, non meno di 7 minuti buoni… Perché, a differenza di quelli che comprai per la Mi Band 3 l’anno passato, che semplicemente usano il velcro, questi sono di un qualche tessuto elastico (anche qui, dicono nylon, ma io che ne so) per permettere di essere tolti e rimessi, e per la regolazione usano un ferretto… che è però persino meno intuitivo di quelli che si usano negli zaini, quindi ecco; ma questo non è un problema del prodotto, è semplicemente un problema di skill (e quando mai…). Chissà se, col bonus di niente velcro, ma col malus dell’elasticità, possano durare di più o di meno… 🤥

L’importante è che, avendone provato uno da ieri sera fino a stamattina, e ovviamente ancora ce l’ho addosso in questo momento, sembrano boni. Di tutti, ho per ora messo quello rosa (e c’erano dubbi?), per cui casualmente una delle watchface che avevo già installate si abbina in misura sublime (anche se, ahinoi, in foto si nota poco), quindi l’esperienza mibandica è stata in un istante potenziata. È abbastanza comodo, lo percepisco più sottile e meno ingombrante di quello ufficiale di gomma che si è spaccato (e beh, in effetti lo è), e mi da decisamente molto meno fastidio di quello, quando sto alla scrivania… in tutti gli altri casi è semplicemente buono, non noto differenze, va benissimo!!! E chiaramente, grazie alla regolazione a ferretto anziché a buchi, e all’elasticità della stoffa, sta regolato perfettamente al polso, senza essere né troppo lasco né troppo stretto… Vabbé, dai, a questo punto è giusto dirlo: godo. 🥰

Why The Rest of the World Laughs at America


Recent global reactions show the world's diminishing respect for American leadership, particularly following Trump's 2024 election victory and subsequent actions in 2025.

International polling reveals a dramatic decline in America's global standing, with only 46% of people across 29 countries believing the US will have a positive influence on world affairs, down from 59% just months earlier1. Even in Canada, traditionally a close ally, positive views of the US plummeted from 52% to just 19%1.

Trump's 58-minute UN speech in September 2025 drew stony faces from world leaders, a stark contrast to previous years when delegates would laugh at his claims2. According to body language expert Peter Collett, "People are taking it much more seriously. Whereas formerly it was a source of amusement when he puffed himself up, now almost everything he has to say has to be taken seriously"2.

The administration's policies have further eroded America's standing. Massive tariffs imposed on nearly 70 countries have disrupted global trade3, while Trump's stance on immigration and inflammatory rhetoric about other nations has alienated allies. At the UN, Brazilian President Lula warned of "attacks on sovereignty, arbitrary sanctions and unilateral interventions" becoming the norm4.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez emerged as a leading European voice opposing American policies, defending migration and open societies while warning about "the door to tyranny"4. Meanwhile, Indonesian President Subianto received applause at the UN for declaring "No one country can bully the whole of the human family"4.

The USA is analogous to the Soviet Union. Fake food, fake happiness, fake or poor quality everything- even beyond just goods and services. American speech is fake, the political class, intentionality, even well meaning people are fake. Nothing is meaningful with intention. Their democracy is fake, and so is their standing and success. All fake. Their clothes are cheap slop, everything is brand obsession but with zero substance, all marketing. Brand obsession might as well be considered a form of propaganda at this point, as the line between branding and political influence is blurry. They destroyed what semblance of country and community they once had.

They're on the verge of having one helluva hangover when they sober up.

The worst part is, they don't know it. They are living in a bubble that is bombarded with corporatism/ political propaganda.

in reply to Zerush

Trump is the most Amerikan president, yet. A perfect representation of the people and the culture of the USA today.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron." -- H. L. Mencken

Congrats to the Amerikan people on their achievement. Though they could probably go beyond perfection with their can-do attitude.

In questo video di alcuni mesi fa, Simone Angioni discute di alcune considerazioni e verifiche importanti da fare prima dell'installazione di un impianto fotovoltaico.

"Quanto produce davvero un impianto fotovoltaico da 6kW? E conviene installarlo? In questo video vi porto la mia esperienza concreta, con dati reali e qualche sorpresa (non sempre positiva...). Parliamo di produzione, ottimizzatori, auto elettrica, bollette e... un enorme problema di cui si parla poco: la sovratensione.

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder

Taliban, Pakistani forces trade heavy fire along Afghanistan border


Pakistan and Afghanistan have traded claims of seizing each other’s border posts, as border clashes between their militaries intensify following an air strike on Kabul earlier this week.

The Taliban on Sunday said it had captured three Pakistani border posts during its retaliatory attacks at seven points along the border.

I'm sure Pakistan, purely of their own volition, decided to launch an attack on Afghanistan...

in reply to alexei_1917 [mirror/your pronouns]

Heh, well I'm still cool for using the bleeding edge! Guess what Debian? My packages break so yours don't! Erm, why use an easy installer and unstable leap repo when you can manually go through installing (please forget arch-install/arch-based distros exists) your system and be left wondering why your fstab is broken! Heh, I just know arch is for the cool tech enthusiasts like me~

(Me too, I actually used Kubuntu/Pop!_OS for a brief while before going Endeavour. For me, I wanted to have the flawed AUR, and since I was already trying to go further with KDE Plasma and Unstable Stuff, I thought why not leap to an Arch-based distro? I mean, besides the every month-or-so package warning breakage and learning to install multiple kernels because of.. the instability, lol. It's fun to act like a sectarian too, especially since I'm supposed to be associated with *those* Arch elitists if.. they still exist.)

in reply to LadyCajAsca [she/her, comrade/them]

Hey, manual installation might teach you a lot about Linux, but at least installing my system took less than an hour and I have a functioning system with everything I need set up! While you Arch people almost always spent over an hour and a lot of effort, just to get a TTY booting, and you're still missing things even once you do get your choice of desktop environment and your graphical programs installed and running!

(Tbh, I kinda want the AUR sometimes. But, like, I don't need it, Arch has a reputation for being a pain and forcing you to really learn about Linux by causing you to constantly need to use odd terminal commands to fix problems, and most of my distro hopping urges in general are some combination of "think I understand Linux way more than I do" and "I don't really want a new distro, I just want a new desktop environment." And the funny thing is that so much of what actually seems interesting and new to me beyond just a different DE that's shiny and new, is based on Debian. Lol.)



I added MQTT logging to my 121GW via BT/WiFi


Hi all!

I thought y'all might be interested in my weekend project: Using an ESP32 to read the value from my 121GW DMM and send it to my MQTT broker via Bluetooth and WiFi. This workflow is much better for me compared to logging to microSD cards. The code is an ESPHome config that can straightforwardly be flashed onto most ESP32 variants.

The config and some documentation is available here: github.com/tjhowse/121gw-espho…

A brief video explainer is here: youtu.be/GLtkTARH1eo

At the moment I'm only unpacking the main value, range and sign from the Bluetooth packet. It would be nice to read out the rest of the values, but I haven't felt the need yet. Note that the DMM briefly blanks the display when changing ranges. This results in a value of zero being sent on the MQTT link. All of my testing has been in volts mode, other modes may contain dragons! Please test thoroughly before relying on this for anything important.

Cheers,
tjhowse

Potatoes are not the part of the plant that reproduces through pollination, seed potatoes are grown from other potatoes, the fruits are poisonous, potatoes are nightshades. I may be mistaken, maybe pollination helps? I know potatoes arent ready for harvest until after flowering

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.
