The clock no longer ticks in your favor: Iran to US
Tehran warns of severe and unpredictable retaliation after US-led airstrikes on nuclear sites, accusing Washington and "Israel" of pushing the region toward wider war.

The image features Kermit the Frog, a green puppet character, sitting and drinking tea from a clear glass cup with a Lipton tea bag visible. The background is blurred, focusing attention on Kermit. The top text reads: "TRUMP URGED STEPPED-UP OIL PRODUCTION, POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA: 'TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! AND I MEAN NOW!!!'" The bottom text states: "ME ENJOYING MY EV." The meme juxtaposes the urgency of oil production with the calm enjoyment of an electric vehicle (EV), represented by Kermit sipping tea.

Israel bombs Tehran prison as Iranian missiles disrupt power supply
Israel and Iran exchanged heavy strikes on Monday in one of the most intense days of the conflict since the Israeli military launched an offensive against the Islamic Republic more than a week ago.
The Israeli military said it carried out wide-ranging attacks on “regime targets” in Tehran, including sites tied to Iran’s internal security apparatus, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the Evin Prison, which holds prominent political dissidents.
Iranian state and semi-official media reported that an electricity feeder station was hit in northern Tehran, leading to localised blackouts. The air strike came shortly after a barrage of Iranian missiles that triggered sirens across Israel for over 30 minutes on Monday morning.
Explosions were heard throughout the country, caused either by direct missile impacts or interceptor defences. Israeli authorities reported damage "near a strategic infrastructure facility" in the south, which disrupted power supply. However, military censorship restricts public disclosure, leaving the full extent of the Iranian strikes unclear.

Keep Track of the Compost with LoRaWAN
Composting doesn’t seem difficult: pile up organic matter, let it rot. In practice, however, it’s a bit more complicated– if you want that sweet, sweet soil amendment in a reasonable amount of time, and to make sure any food-born pathogens and weed seeds don’t come through, you need a “hot” compost pile. How to tell if the pile is hot? Well, you could go out there and stick your arm in like a schmuck, or you could use [Dirk-WIllem van Gulik]’s “LORAWAN Compostheap solarpowered temperaturesensor” (sic).
The project is exactly what it sounds like, once you add some spaces: a solar-powered temperature sensor that uses LoRaWAN to track temperatures inside (and outside, for comparison) the compost heap year round. Electronically it is pretty simple: a Helltech CubeCell AB01 LoraWAN module is wired up with three DS18B20 temperature sensors, a LiPo battery and a solar panel. (The AB01 has the required circuitry to charge the battery via solar power.)
The three temperature sensors are spread out: within a handmade of a metal spike to measure the core of the heap, one partway up the metal tube holding said spike, to measure the edge of the pile, and one in the handsome 3D printed case to measure the ambient temperature. These three measurements, and the difference between them, should give a very good picture of the metabolism of the pile, and cue an observant gardener when it is time to turn it, water it, or declare it done.
Given it only wakes every hour or so for measurements (compost piles aren’t a fast moving system like an RMBK) and has a decent-sized panel, the LiPo battery isn’t going to see much stress and will likely last many years, especially in the benevolent Dutch climate. [Dirk] is also counting on that climate to keep the printed PLA enclosure intact. If one was to recreate this project for Southern California or North Australia, a different filament would certainly be needed, but the sun doesn’t beat down nearly as hard in Northern Europe and PLA will probably last at least as long as the battery.
Of course with this device it’s still up to the gardener to decide what to do with the temperature data and get out to do the hard work. For those who prefer more automation and less exercise, this composter might be of interest.
Our thanks to [Peter de Bruin] for the tip about this finely-turned temperature sensing tip. If you, too, want to bask in the immortal fame brought by a sentence of thanks at the end of a Hackaday article (or perhaps a whole article dedicated to your works?) submit a tip and your dreams may come true.

If You Thought Donald Trump Would Never Do This, You’re an Idiot
The most pernicious delusion of this era has been the idea that Trump is “the peace president.” His decision to bomb Iran shatters this myth.The New Republic
"By the time he leaves office, Trump is going to go down as the biggest proliferator of nuclear weapons since 1945. Everybody’s going to want a hip pocket nuke or two, because they can all see the line of Donald Trump mini-me’s behind Trump to run for president, ready to blow up any and all reasonable deals the U.S. might make with potential nuclear powers in the future."

"When Trump announced, via a Saturday evening bleet, that he had bombed Iranian nuclear sites, it put his most vocal fans in a quandary: Should they sacrifice any sense of ideological consistency to keep supporting Trump, or should they try to maintain some sense of self-respect and dignity by criticizing the man around whom they’ve built their careers?"

"A few closing notes from [Dan Rather], who has spent a fair portion of his life covering wars:
Truth IS the first casualty of war.
The first things you hear often are untrue, and so are many of the things you hear later.
Wars are by their very nature chaotic and unpredictable. What you most expect frequently does not happen; what you least expect often does."

I noticed that SeedVault has merged RoundSync integration (rclone Android client) somewhere in 2024, any chance we could get that in GrapheneOS?
Our focus is porting to Android 16. We have a lot of work to do and it's crucial to get it finished before July.
Seedvault updates must be reviewed to make sure vulnerabilities aren't introduced. We don't trust the upstream project and plan to completely fork away from it in the future including moving to a new format which won't be compatible with it. It will be called something else instead and a lot of functionality we didn't want will be removed along with a lot being added.

Wrote a thing about how AI tech currently has no path to create lasting value: ecosystemsandentrepreneurs.com…
Anyone who's worked in VC-backed startups consistently will recognize the cycle a majority of Big Tech and AI startups have bought into.
Their go-to is all the same: if what we're doing isn't working, we need a new narrative.
You start thinking your "market" is the mind-share of other people people running the same game as you, instead of customers.

There is no path to value for AI tech right now
It may be painful to hear, but AI tech currently has no path to create lasting value... Anyone who's worked in VC-backed startups consistently will recognize the cycle a majority of Big Tech and AI startups have bought into.Joe Cardillo (Ecosystems & Entrepreneurs)
When it comes to AI, tech execs & founders are choosing messaging/PR over product value
You can see this because they do the same two things over and over:
- Using fear/anxiety to sell the product instead of real change metrics or adoption
- Executives keep raising money/investing with no return in sight, all to keep pushing the news/narrative cycle forward
a la Meta/Facebook's "couldn't create intelligence so look over here, we're working on 'super intelligence'"
