Recommend that new users join geographically local instances
There is perennial discussion about what fediverse servers (Lemmy or otherwise) to recommend to new users. I have a proposal, perhaps not very original but I haven't seen it made often.
Let's just recommend that newbies pick an instance that is located close to them geographically. That's to say: their country, their region, or (ideally) their town.
Some context. Personally, I am not totally sold on social media, federated or otherwise. The evidence is now pretty clear that it causes major social harms. One way it does this is by fuelling polarization around hot-button national and international debates, at the expense of local issues. Reviving democracy is going to mean boosting communities at a local level. This could be a small way to do that.

November 1925
Our look at some of the significant happenings 100 years ago this month.
3. Alfred Hitchcock’s directorial debut film, The Pleasure Garden, was released.
10. Born. Richard Burton, actor, in Pontrhydyfen, Wales (d.1984)
11. Howard Carter and an autopsy team began the unwrapping of the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The process was exceedingly difficult due to the extreme fragility of the bandages and the resinous coating that held the mummy fast inside the sarcophagus.
11. Born. June Whitfield, British actress, in Streatham, London (d.2018)
12. Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five recorded their first songs together for Okeh Records. These recordings were among the most important and influential in the development of jazz music.
19. The autopsy of Tutankhamun concluded. The bad condition of the body and limited forensic science of the 1920s meant that little could be determined other than the age of the body being estimated to be about eighteen.
24. Born. William F Buckley Jr, American journalist, author and commentator (d.2008)
27. Born. Ernie Wise, comedian, in Bramley, Leeds, England (d.1999)

Russia Expands Bans on ‘Coercing’ Women Into Abortions to 27th Region
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44938574
ArchivedTwo Siberian regions have become the 26th and 27th Russian regions to adopt legislation this week banning the “coercion” of pregnant women into terminating a pregnancy amid efforts by conservative figures to expand state pressure to boost birth rates.
The neighboring Kemerovo region and Altai republic adopted laws Monday and Tuesday banning “persuasion, requests, offers, deception, bribery or other actions” aimed at encouraging a woman to have an abortion.
[...]
Officials say the measure is designed to “protect pregnant women in a situation of reproductive choice” and improve demographic trends.
Both laws take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.
The initiatives are backed by the pro-life Orthodox-aligned foundation Women for Life, which launched a chatbot encouraging women to report relatives, partners or medical workers who “advised” them to terminate a pregnancy.

La rinascita del mercato comunale in via Rombon
Quella di via Rombon 24, infatti, è una delle 15 strutture conferite dal Comune a Sogemi che, con questo progetto si pone tre obiettivi: «Riqualificare gli ambienti, creare luoghi di incontro per la comunità e garantire ai cittadini l’accesso a prodotti freschi e di qualità». All’interno, il bar targato Giannasi (quello del pollo), la pescheria Pedol (presenza storica al mercato di piazza Wagner), il negozio di NaturaSì e la libreria Mondadori.
Milano, apre il primo «Mercato di quartiere» in via Rombon, a Lambrate: «Riqualificare gli spazi e creare luoghi d'incontro»

Winter Is Coming, and We Are Still Without Shelter
The cold winds have already started to blow, and winter is on our doorstep. Yet, we are still living out in the open, without enough warmth or protection.
We desperately need your help to buy the remaining essentials — a proper tent, food, gas, and warm winter clothes.
It breaks my heart to see my family shivering from the cold, especially the little ones. No one deserves to face winter like this.
Please, if you can, help us stay warm and safe this winter. Even a small act of kindness can mean everything to us. 💔

FCC to rescind ruling that said ISPs are required to secure their networks
Oh, for fuck's sake. Heaven forbid anything sensible survives.
The Federal Communications Commission will vote in November to repeal a ruling that requires telecom providers to secure their networks, acting on a request from the biggest lobby groups representing Internet providers.FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the ruling, adopted in January just before Republicans gained majority control of the commission, “exceeded the agency’s authority and did not present an effective or agile response to the relevant cybersecurity threats.” Carr said the vote scheduled for November 20 comes after “extensive FCC engagement with carriers” who have taken “substantial steps… to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.”
The FCC’s January 2025 declaratory ruling came in response to attacks by China, including the Salt Typhoon infiltration of major telecom providers such as Verizon and AT&T. The Biden-era FCC found that the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), a 1994 law, “affirmatively requires telecommunications carriers to secure their networks from unlawful access or interception of communications.”
“The Commission has previously found that section 105 of CALEA creates an affirmative obligation for a telecommunications carrier to avoid the risk that suppliers of untrusted equipment will ‘illegally activate interceptions or other forms of surveillance within the carrier’s switching premises without its knowledge,'” the January order said. “With this Declaratory Ruling, we clarify that telecommunications carriers’ duties under section 105 of CALEA extend not only to the equipment they choose to use in their networks, but also to how they manage their networks.”

ICE’s Hiring Surge Is Attracting A Bunch Of People Who Are Too Unfit (Or Too Criminal) To Work At ICE
Well, if it isn't the consequences of the government's own actions.
ICE can generate multiple horrible stories a day but it still can’t seem to find enough brown people to deport daily to satisfy White House advisor Stephen Miller’s demands for 3,000 arrests per day.Trump and the GOP threw a lot of money at this problem with the Big Beautiful Bill. A lot of money: $75 billion over the next four years. Part of that goes to another metric ICE will apparently never meet: 10,000 new hires.
Not that ICE isn’t trying. It’s currently pissing off law enforcement agencies all over the country by throwing $50,000 signing bonuses at new recruits — something that has the potential to deprive local law enforcement of some of their current, um… talent. It has also lowered its standards and ripped the age limits off both ends of the scale, hoping to attract a blend of people who’ve already aged out of physical work and fresh faces their new bosses will likely assume don’t really want work.
Now that it’s been a few months since the hiring surge began, we’re finally seeing some results. And it’s possibly worse than you imagine.

How to switch a 5V led lamp?
I've got a cheap salt lamp with a LED inside and it runs on a 5V wall wart. I think it originally had a USB plug but I cut that off and connected it to an old 5V power supply.
I've never used esp32, but I've been doing some reading and it seems like an esp32-c6 will allow me to do this with ZigBee.
Does this sound reasonable? Are there other options I should consider?

in reply to silence7 • • •When Democrat politicians/appointees/whatever "give up", its sad and disgusting because there's usually no real rea$on to.
When Magats do it, its friggen hillarious, because their goals are both stupid and ea$y, but they failed to consult their sponsors and are just incompetent in general.
