Sam Whited: 2025-09-30 Trolley Barn Contra Post Mortem
The first time I DJed for a Contra Dance1 was at Inman Park’s
famous Trolley Barn.
At the time I was DJing in the way other social dances are normally DJed: I had
a laptop, I played a song, everyone danced.
No fancy mixing, or effects: the most technical thing I did was loop 32 bar
sections of music to stretch it out until the caller was ready to end the dance.

This time around, returning to … ⌘ Read more

DNA repair mechanisms help explain why naked mole-rats live a long life
Naked mole-rats are one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret to their extreme longevity? How are they able to delay the decay and decline that befalls other rodents? The answer, at least in part, is due to a switch in a common protein that boosts DNA repair, according to new research published i … ⌘ Read more

Private Equity Tightens Its Grip on Outpatient Surgery
Jennifer Henderson,  Enterprise and Investigative Writer  -  MedPage Today

_Stephan: Depending on which poll you look at, between 25% to 40% of the emergency rooms in hospitals are not actually part of the hospital. Instead, they are owned by private equity investment firms, and the physicians and nurses are employees of those firms. Private equity firms also own approximately 8.5% to 9% of all private hospitals in … ⌘ Read more

Republican Candidate in Virginia Caught in Tumblr Nazi Porn Scandal
Robert McCoy,  Staff Writer  -  The New Republic

_Stephan: What stands out about what has happened to democracy in the United States is the almost universal scum of the Republican Party. It’s not just that the party controls all the branches of government and yet is doing nothing to foster wellbeing for the people of America. Instead, we have the Bondis, the Patels, the Homans, and this cre … ⌘ Read more

DebDroid - Debian on Android (v1.1)
Hello guys! I’m happy to share DebDroid, a free and open-source project that aims to bring a real Debian environment to Android devices. It is not Termux-based, nor a simple proot-based wrapper, but a real, near-native chroot environment running on top of the Android kernel.

The project is built around a heavily modified version of the Kali Nethunter’s script I’ve developed 3 years ago. This new version (DebDroid) brings greatly improved security, isolation and additional compatibility patch … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » It happened.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Unfortunately, I had to review a coworker’s code that was also spewed out the same way. It was abso-fucking-lutely horrible. I didn’t know upfront, but then asked afterwards and got the proud (!) answer that it indeed was “assisted”. I bet this piece of garbage result was never checked or questioned the tiniest bit before submitting for review. >:-( It didn’t even do the right thing as a bonus.

What a giant shitshow. Things just have to burn to the ground several times.

In-reply-to » @lyse In my case it was a silver necklace, a hummingbird with a wing connected with the cold welding I mentioned using thin brass wires.

@alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it Hell yeah, that looks great! :-) What a pity you’re not having any photos, though. I love that you went to a craftsmanship school and learned some amazing skills. The older I get, the more I admire all sorts of crafts. That’s also why I started building physical stuff myself in my spare time.

This sketch is well done, so you countersunk the holes to make room for the heads. Makes absolutely sense. Mille grazie! <3

What are you reading this week?
Perhaps we may try to revive this genre of sharing book titles in order to find something out of usual interests? Anything that you have in your reading or listening queue: tech, non-tech, pulp or snob.

I’m planning to reread again Thinking Forth by Leo Brodie (he has published couple (mediocre) albums on Spotify BTW). Also Mastery by Robert Greene.

I noticed Google put out this article: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/09/lets-talk-security-answering-your-top.html it’s very current day Google, but the comments under the YouTube video are pretty on point and I saw a few familiar faces there. There is also, unexpectedly, ways to contact Google.

First a form for “teachers, students, and hobbyists”, that I filled politely, as someone who falls under their hobbyist category. It can be filled both anonymously, or with an e-mail attached, to be contacted by them (I chose the second option).

Also a general feedback and questions form, that I was not as polite in and used to send them the following message:

I have already provided some feedback, in the teacher, student and hobbyists form/questionaire, as well as an open letter I’ve recently sent to the European Commission digital markets act team, as I do believe your proposal might not even be legal, given the fact it puts privacy-focused alternative app stores at risk (https://f-droid.org/cs/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html) and it was proposed this early, after Google lost in court to Epic Games, over similar monopoly concerns. Why should we trust Google to be the only authority for all developer signatures, right after the European courts labeled it a gatekeeper?

Assuming this gets passed, despite justified developer backlash and at best questionable legality, can you give us any guarantees, this will not be used to target legal malware-free mods, or user privacy enhancing patchers, like the ones used for applying the ReVanced patches? I have made a few mods myself, but I am in no way associated with the ReVanced team. I just share many peoples concerns, Google Chrome has been conveniently stripped of its manifest v2 support, that made many privacy protecting extensions possible and now you’re conveniently asking for the government IDs, of all the developers, who maintain these kinds of privacy protections (be it patches, or alternative open-source apps) on Android.

In-reply-to » 🤔 💭 🧐 What if, What if we built our own self-hosted / small-web / community-built/run Internet on top of the Internet using Wireguard as the underlying tech? What if we ran our own Root DNS servers? What if we set a zero tolerance policy on bots, spammers and other kind of abuse that should never have existed in the first place. Hmmmm

Intranets have been around since Jesus times (well, not quite 😂, but you get the idea). They are fun to play with, but that’s about it. I mean, the “fun” of the Internet comes from its variety.
