Where should I start? Absolute newb with a kit
I've never tried my own home brew before and I've been sitting on two kits for years now (got them sitting the pandemic but never found the time) and I wanted to try to start something
The original juice and hops are probably toast by now so I'll have to purchase some new, but I've got two of those jugs and the other bits that come with them.
I also have a small orchard in my back yard and wanted to try to use the thousands of plums in get every year to make some kind of lambic ale.
Any advice is appreciated!

Pro-Israel group gets £7m from UK government to 'identify' antisemitism
The British government is giving a £7m ($9.33m) funding package to a pro-Israel organisation to deliver antisemitism training in universities.
The Union of Jewish students (UJS) has links with the World Zionist Organisation, which funds illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Under the scheme, the UJS will offer some 600 training sessions to university staff over the coming weeks to help them "identify harassment and hate" and facilitate "open, respectful debate", the Department for Education (DfE) said on Sunday.
Most British universities refer to the IHRA's definition of antisemitism, which has been slammed by opponents as an attempt to impose censorship on valid criticisms of Israel.

Saleh al-Jafarawi, the Doghmush clan, and the illusion of ceasefire
Saleh al-Jafarawi was abducted and executed by members of the Doghmush clan—an anti-Hamas faction within Gaza. He was not killed in battle, but in a context of internal militias acting under external influence.
This stark fact deserves to be front and center, because it exposes a quiet architecture of violence that functions even in moments when a ‘ceasefire’ supposedly holds. This is the occupation’s most insidious form, a war fought not through tanks or jets but through collaborators and chaos, ensuring that Gaza never truly rests. In this architecture of endless war, ceasefires are illusions, fragile pauses that conceal the unbroken machinery of control, where Israel’s hand remains unseen but ever present, orchestrating violence even in silence.
The idea of a ceasefire is deeply compromised in this model. Even when shelling or open military operations between Israel and Hamas pause, the war continues in shadow. Militia violence, kidnappings, assassinations: these are not paused by ceasefire agreements. The killing of al-Jafarawi during a period when hostilities at the border were reduced shows that ceasefire does not guarantee safety. It merely shifts some forms of warfare from open battlefields to intra-Palestinian rivalries and clandestine operations. This makes peace an illusion for many civilians, who cannot distinguish between external assaults and internal betrayals.
This is not a failure of policy but its intended outcome. Israel has long understood that total military victory in Gaza is unattainable; they have seen countless defeats. What is attainable is permanent incoherence. The tactic amounts to a form of entropic warfare: the deliberate creation of chaos to prevent reorganization. Rather than occupying territory directly, Israel governs through collapse. The breakdown of social cohesion performs the same function as a garrison. When Palestinians no longer trust their own institutions or each other, Israel’s strategic goals are met without the need for visible control. The killing of Saleh Al-Jaafrawi illustrates this invisible war.

PM Starmer says UK ready to help in removing Hamas weapons
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his country is ready to assist in monitoring the ceasefire in Gaza.
He offered the UK’s experience in Northern Ireland to help in the decommissioning of Hamas’s military capabilities.
“We stand ready in relation to monitoring the ceasefire and decommissioning Hamas capability and weaponry, and that’s drawing on our experience in Northern Ireland and the IRA [Irish Republican Army], which we dealt with in particular in relation to decommissioning,” he said.

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.

DISTURBED's Belgian Show Cancelled Over DAVID DRAIMAN's Photo Signing IDF Missiles
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The mayor of Vorst, Belgium, has officially banned an upcoming Disturbed concert, citing public safety concerns stemming from frontman David Draiman’s outspoken support for the Israeli army – namely that one picture where he's signing missiles that'll kill people shortly thereafter.
Disturbed was scheduled to play Vorst Nationaal on Wednesday, October 15, but the plug has now been pulled following a police order issued by Mayor Charles Spapens (PS) according to De Standaard.

Dude has always been an edgelord in some capacity. He probably thought it would be edgey to sign a bomb, regardless of who made it and who it would kill.
Though, I have zero doubts that David also has some questionable viewpoints on that stuff as well. I'm not aware of any, but I also haven't really heard anything from that band since the late 90s/early 2000s.
Good job getting cancelled buddy. Enjoy obscurity.
Samantha Power secretly colluded with Israel to enhance UN role, leaked emails show
Behind closed doors, the noted ‘humanitarian interventionist’ successfully lobbied for Israel’s inclusion on important UN committees even after the Human Rights Council accused it of targeting civilians in Gaza.
The leaked emails also reveal that Israel furnished Power with a dodgy dossier on Syrian chemical weapons as she pushed regime change in Damascus.
Former US ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power secretly coordinated with a top Israeli diplomat to secure Israel’s access to multiple prestigious UN committees, leaked files show.
Power used her platform at the UN to thunder for military intervention in Syria, frequently exploiting the US-backed opposition’s questionable claims of chemical attacks to make her case. And from almost the moment she entered her position, Israel was feeding her cooked intelligence apparently alleging that Syria held a vast arsenal of WMD’s.

Vance warns 'deeper' cuts ahead for federal workers as shutdown enters 12th day
JD Vance on Sunday said there will be deeper cuts to the federal workforce the longer the government shutdown goes on, adding to the uncertainty facing hundreds of thousands who are already furloughed without pay amid the stubborn stalemate in Congress.
Vance warned that as the federal shutdown entered its 12th day, the new cuts would be “painful,” even as he said the Trump administration worked to ensure that the military is paid this week and some services would be preserved for low-income Americans, including food assistance.
Still, hundreds of thousands of government workers have been furloughed in recent days and, in a court filing on Friday, the Office of Management and Budget said well over 4,000 federal employees would soon be fired in conjunction with the shutdown. The effects of the shutdown also grew Sunday with the Smithsonian announcing its museums, research centers and the National Zoo are temporarily closed going forward for lack of funding.

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.

Questo lavoro non è vita. La lotta di lasse nel XXI secolo. Il caso GKN

Libro intervista

Brossura con alette

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?

Dutch government seizes control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia
BRUSSELS — The Dutch government has granted itself the power to intervene in company decisions at Dutch-based Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia.
The highly unusual step, announced late Sunday, grants the country the power to “halt and reverse” company decisions — meaning Nexperia cannot transfer assets or hire executives without Dutch government approval, according to national media.
The move is a significant escalation in relations between the Netherlands and China and could inflame wider trade tensions between Beijing and the European Union, with Europe caught in the middle of a tit-for-tat chips war between the U.S. and China.

Opinion | A new era in abortion services may be over before it ever really began
This past week, Republicans dialed up the anti-abortion pressure campaign on the Trump Food and Drug Administration when virtually every Republican senator signed a letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asking the FDA to impose new restrictions on mifepristone, a drug currently used in the majority of abortions nationwide.The senators ask the FDA to suspend further generic approvals, prohibit telehealth access to mifepristone, and immediately stop mifepristone distribution altogether by declaring the drug to be an “imminent hazard” under federal law.
The Trump administration has undertaken a study of mifepristone, which abortion opponents believe will lead to the restoration of pre-2016 restrictions that disallowed telehealth.
Republican senators turn to RFK Jr. to lead the latest attack on abortion access
Republican lawmakers in states like Louisiana, Missouri, Idaho and Texas hope the Supreme Court will decide that the FDA had no authority to approve mifepristone or permit telehealth access to it.Mary Ziegler (MSNBC)
Israeli Officials Are Openly Saying They Plan To Resume Attacks On Gaza
Israel’s top officials are openly declaring that they intend to terminate the Gaza ceasefire after they get their hostages back.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has posted a tweet in Hebrew which machine translates as
“Israel’s great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas’s terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States. This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarizing Gaza and neutralizing Hamas of its weapons.

Hamas has not agreed to any demilitarization or destruction of its tunnels. There is no way to demilitarize Gaza and neutralize Hamas of its weapons against their will without continued warfare, something Israel has demonstrated it cannot do without killing shocking numbers of civilians.
Katz’s comments echo the public statements of Prime Minister Netanyahu, who said in a televised speech on Friday that “Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarized,” and that if Hamas doesn’t disarm voluntarily then “it will be achieved the hard way.”

Israeli Officials Are Openly Saying They Plan To Resume Attacks On Gaza
Israel’s top officials are openly declaring that they intend to terminate the Gaza ceasefire after they get their hostages back.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has posted a tweet in Hebrew which machine translates as
“Israel’s great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas’s terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States. This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarizing Gaza and neutralizing Hamas of its weapons. I have instructed the IDF to prepare for carrying out the mission.”

What's the best chat to self host?
I'm looking into a few different chat servers, probably just for family on my tailnet.
I like the idea that simplex allows video chat. My server is a repurposed optiplex 3060so I think it should be able to handle it. Is anyone doing this? Do you think it's worth it?
Should I be considering other options like XMPP?

Inverse mouse pointer
My wife had just switched from windows to the latest Mint (Cinnamon). The one thing she misses from windows is the mouse pointer. It animates so that it's light coloured on dark objects and dark on light objects. It makes it easy for her to find.
Anyone know how to do this in Cinnamon?

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.

in reply to pyr0ball • • •Depends on a kit, the malt sirup is shelf stable but hops and yeast is definitely bad. Just try something, follow the instructions for start and you will see if you like it.
I don't know much about plums other than distillat so can't suggest much on that.
Botzo
in reply to pyr0ball • • •You haven't tried it before, so I'll suggest just brewing one of the kits you have. Use it to figure out some process and hey, you might still get something drinkable. If not, you'll still be setting yourself up for success with fresh new ingredients.
Edit: oh, and a plum wine is super easy: rock sugar (Belgian candy sugar), vodka, plums. Let it sit for 6+ months.

in reply to colournoun • • •The two major things to tackle. My advice would be to just start making beer. The more you make, the better you will get at it. Join a forum to get advice. Don't be put off if it doesn't come out right at first.
Alexander
in reply to pyr0ball • • •On top of what other said, there is a trick to plum: they usually ferment quite nicely (I recommend Lalvin RC212 yeast) but the trick is to bottle condition them for 5 years minimum. It is absolutely worth it.
Don't go for lambics though, they are tricky and until you understand exactly why, I don't recommend it. They are totally not newbie stuff. But aim for plum christmas ale, that's very easy and just in time to try!

in reply to pyr0ball • • •If the juice is concentrated, like molasses it'll be fine. Hops might be ok if they're vacuum sealed and freeze dried as they often are.. they look like little pellets. If they're just dried then get some more.
Just follow the instructions.
If you're bottle conditioning, (adding a bit of sugar in the bottle to carbonate) I would recommend using plastic coke bottles. They're pressure safe and don't explode like glass does if you add too much sugar.
pyr0ball
in reply to CouldntCareBear • • •So I shouldn't trust those pop-top glass bottles?
Looks like the juice wasn't concentrated enough, so maybe I'll juice some plums and cherries this year
CouldntCareBear
in reply to pyr0ball • • •The pop top ones are great and I love them but it's easy to mess something up and make them pretty dangerous.
If you have a hygrometer you can measure the sugar content of your brew which takes out the guess work, get one of them before glass bottling. Hygrometers are like $10 and well worth having.
Plum and cherry wine sounds divine. Good luck!
Alexander
in reply to CouldntCareBear • • •Another way that prevents bottles from exploding is corking with wine corks slightly slices across to hold a thick thread that wraps around the neck to hold the cork against pressure. It's quite weak seal that should pop before the glass.
My friend once had some bottles of sparkling hard cider bottled like that (naturally explosive), left for a trip in winter (Texas), temperature went below freezing, so his landlord (old redneck lady with confederate flags and deer skulls on her house) went into his place and turned on gas stove. Sure she forgot to turn it off when weather normalized to regular +10C, so when he came back, it was hot sauna with apple flavor, but no broken glass at least!
