Symbian On Nokia Lives Again, In 2026
Do you remember Nokia phones, with their Symbian OS? Dead and gone, you might think, but even they have dedicated enthusiasts here in 2026. Some of them have gone so far as to produce a new ROM for the daddy of Symbian phones, the Nokia N8, and [Janus Cycle] is giving it a spin.
For many people, the smartphone era began when the first Apple iPhones and Android devices reached the market, but the smartphone itself can be traced back almost two decades earlier to an IBM device. In the few years before the birth of todayโs platforms many people even had smartphones without quite realizing what they had, because Nokia, the market leader in the 2000s, failed to make their Symbian platform user friendly in the way that Apple did. The N8 was their attempt to produce an iPhone competitor, but its lack of an on-device app store and that horrific Windows-based installation system meant it would be their last mass-market flagship before falling down the Microsoft Windows Phone rabbit hole.
In the video below the break he takes a pair of N8s and assembles one with that beautiful camera fully working, before installing the new ROM and giving it a spin. We get to see at last what the N8 could have been but wasnโt, as it gains the last Symbian release from Nokia, and the crucial missing app store. Even fifteen years later itโs a very slick device, enough to make us sorry that this ROM wonโt be made for the earlier N-series sitting in a drawer where this is being written. We salute its developers for keeping the N8 alive.

Just a short description, how to find interesting people in Fedi:
You will only very seldom find them by browsing federated timeline (Live channels - Other servers). The hashtags are better strategy, but only few nerds (like me) really use hashtags. I consider hashtags at least as important, as image ALT tags, but there is no "please add hashtags" movement in Fedi, because nerds are notoriously unable to self-organize (just like cats ).
The trick, which works most of the time, is to look who boosted the popular statuses, which you really agree with. It of course creates "echo chamber", closed bubble... but you sure don't follow everyone in this bubble. Personal preferences would apply.

By following people with too many followers, you are almost sure to receive zero interest in your interactions, and in some cases - negative, angry response, because replies may be considered annoying or abusive, for various reasons.
People with too many followers may sometimes be glad to interact (like me) but more often they receive too many replies and they are already tired, bored and uninterested, eg. because it is not work for which they are paid for (among other reasons). Their sense of humor may just be incompatible with yours.
By following people with few followers, you can get very random results. Most of them are inactive... because they have too few followers, too few interactions, too little interest in their content. You may help some of them by following them, but the most likely the result will be big, safe, harmless Nothing.
So choosing the people with just right number of followers and posts, coming from interesting instances, may be the best choice. I don't want attack or insult the mastodon.social crowd, but they are likely to be normies, staying in their safe zone, put there by their default app setting.
Choose wisely, because you are now forming the bubble, which is likely to form you future Fedi experience! This is the "algorithm", here.

Hai presente quando a proposito di violenze e femminicidi dicono "Pensa se si trattasse di tua sorella" ? Ecco! Se non รจ l'ex marito รจ l'ex fidanzato, oppure รจ il vicino respinto o ancora il padre o, come sembra in questo caso, il fratello. Come ti giri ti giri questa pletora di maschi malati di misoginia si placa soltanto al culmine della vergogna patriarcale: uccidere la donna.
Quando si racconta lโomicidio di una donna esiste un confine che non dovrebbe mai essere superato. Eppure, ancora una volta, una parte della stampa lo ha oltrepassato senza esitazione. Dopo lโomicidio di Ilenia Musella, la 22enne accoltellata alla schiena sotto casa, alcuni media locali hanno scelto di pubblicare fotografie prese dai profili social della vittima, decontestualizzate, che ritraggono la vittima con abiti succinti o tute attillate, usandole come esca per attirare clic. 1/2
Quelle immagini non aggiungono nulla alla comprensione dei fatti, non aiutano a ricostruire la dinamica dellโomicidio, non servono alla veritร ma solo a spettacolarizzare la morte, trasformando una vittima in un oggetto e il dolore in un contenuto da monetizzare. Non รจ informazione: รจ sensazionalismo. Ed รจ culturalmente pericoloso, perchรฉ sposta lโattenzione dalla violenza subita al corpo della donna, insinuando giudizi e alimentando una narrazione tossica
@omo_salvadego Una immensa mancanza di rispetto. Provo disgusto verso questo modo di presentare le vittime. La misoginia all'ennesima potenza. Stramaledizione ๐
รจ molto piรน che "sensazionalismo", รจ la narrativa del "se l'รจ cercata" che sposta il focus sulla vittima trasformandola in attore principale dell'aggressione mentre costruisce l'innocenza del carnefice.
@G3rt realizzi che c'รจ gente che ovviamente non attacca il fratello, no, attacca lei, attacca le sue foto, commenta dicendo "Ma come andava vestita? Ma non ci si veste con abiti cosรฌ provocanti, forse bisognerebbe chiedersi che vita faceva questa ragazza!" Per l'ennesima volta, il problema รจ COME SI VESTIVA una ragazza di 22 anni, giusto? Il problema รจ che indossava vestitini giusto? Non รจ mica il fatto che UN FRATELLO l'ha uccisa, quello viene in secondo piano,
per come la vedo io va proprio delegittimato il fatto di mettere in relazione una scelta personale, qualunque scelta, con l'aggressione subita. Va proprio scavalcato il tema del vestirsi. IMHO
@G3rt ecco il fratello, si atteggia a boss della malavita. Fa finta di impugnare una pistola, chiudere un occhio, prendere la mira e sparare. Un demente! I suoi modelli di vita sono criminali incalliti.
รจ sempre cosรฌ, molti giornali ma anche tg non hanno alcun rispetto delle storie che raccontano, anzi da anni vedo un certo voyeurismo, la gente ama parlare di omicidi, la morbositร , sapere i dettagli etc.. fa tutto abbastanza schifo.
@FrankDmt90 Il diritto di cronaca non รจ diritto di umiliare la vittima. Esiste un dovere etico, prima ancora che professionale: rispettare la dignitร delle vittime, soprattutto quando la morte รจ violenta e il dolore รจ ancora vivo. Raccontare la cronaca significa dare voce ai fatti, non svestire una persona della sua dignitร . Significa ricordare chi era la vittima, non come appariva. Ma evidentemente il morboso attrae di piรน
รจ una violenza mediatica sia per la persona che non c'รจ piรน ma anche per la sua famiglia etc, terribile. Non basta che perdi una persona importante ma i media cercano pure di buttarci merda addosso, quasi a legittimare la sua morte..
Piangere sul latte versato puรฒ servire fino a un certo punto... quello che possiamo fare รจ continuare a combattere contro il patriarcato facendo quello che sappiamo fare meglio: informare, aiutare, dare gli strumenti giusti a chi ne ha bisogno... perรฒ servirร ancora tempo, soprattutto nel nostro "bel" paese ๐

Just watched the beginning of the video. Pitching generative AI as a video game analogy to make music, talking about "multiplayer mode" is the most depressing thing I've heard this week. I love music, I applied for a job at a concert hall. Seriously, no AI model can replace the feeling of inviting friends over, jamming, trying to cover a song and just having fun.
I am so opposed to AI in all its forms. The first 2 minutes were already depressing enough, for again it's someone's (the Suno man's) power, overwhelming everybody, way before anyone can intervene saying it's not such a good idea. It's like a big muscle guy imposing his force on a young woman without her consent. I hate that very much.
A YouTuber asked for feedback on their use of AI (Suno, it turns out) to create a custom song for their video.
They had a long defensive reply, but it included this propaganda they'd imbibed "If it learned the algorithms that creates music it is no different than any human that has learned music from their predecessors. " #FuckAI
AI isnโt making people dumber. Itโs amplifying how people already think. Most people were never reflecting on their thinkingโthey were reacting and signaling. AI was meant to remove monotony and refine understanding, not replace cognition. But when that isnโt how itโs used, it becomes a tool for content and social signaling, just like social media. That dynamic accelerates fragmentation, not insight.

Very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is a technique in radio astronomy whereby multiple radio telescopes cooperate to bundle their received data and in effect create a much larger singular radio telescope. For this to work it is however essential to have exact timing and other relevant information to accurately match the signals from each individual radio telescope. As VLBI is used for increasingly higher ranges and bandwidths this makes synchronizing the signals much harder, but an optical frequency comb technique may offer a solution here.

Very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is a technique in radio astronomy whereby multiple radio telescopes cooperate to bundle their received data and in effect create a much larger singular radio telescope. For this to work it is however essential to have exact timing and other relevant information to accurately match the signals from each individual radio telescope. As VLBI is used for increasingly higher ranges and bandwidths this makes synchronizing the signals much harder, but an optical frequency comb technique may offer a solution here.
In the paper by [Minji Hyun] et al. itโs detailed how they built the system and used it with the Korean VLBI Network (VLB) Yonsei radio telescope in Seoul as a proof of concept. This still uses the same hydrogen maser atomic clock as timing source, but with the optical transmission of the pulses a higher accuracy can be achieved, limited only by the photodiode on the receiving end.
In the demonstration up to 50 GHz was possible, but commercial 100 GHz photodiodes are available. Itโs also possible to send additional signals via the fiber on different wavelengths for further functionality, all with the ultimately goal of better timing and adjustment for e.g. atmospheric fluctuations that can affect radio observations.

Itโs particularly obvious in the world of programming languages, where English-derived language and syntax rules the roost.
Itโs always IF foo THEN bar, and never SI foo ALORS bar.

(The Welsh double D, โDdโ is pronounced something like an English soft โthโ as in โtheirโ)
Under the hood itโs not an entirely new language, instead itโs a Welsh localisation of the Raku language. A localisation file is created, that can as we understand it handle bidirectional transcription between languages. The write-up goes into detail about the process.
There will inevitably be people asking what the point of a programming language for a spoken language with under a million native speakers is, so itโs worth taking a look at that head on. Itโs important for Welsh education and the Welsh tech sector because a a geeky kid in a Welsh-medium school Pwllheli deserves to code just as much as an English kid in a school near Oxford, but it goes far beyond Welsh alone. There are many languages and cultures across the world where English is not widely spoken, and every single one of them has those kids like us who pick up a computer and run with it. The more of them that can learn to code, and thrive without having the extra burden of knowing English, the better. Perhaps in a couple of decades weโll be using code from people who learned this way, without our ever knowing it.
As your scribe, this needs to be added: Maeโn ddrwg gyda fi ffrendiau Cymraeg, mae Cymraeg i yn wael iawn. Dwiโn dรดd oโr Rhydychen, ni Pwllheli.

Instead, [Koenkun Bricks] decided to build a design that was Lego all the way down, right to the letters themselves. The complicated keyboard-actuated mechanism picks out flat letter tiles and punches them on to a flat Lego plate, creating a plastic document instead of a paper one.
Itโs not perfect in operation. It has some issues unique to its mode of operation. Namely, the round letter tiles sometimes rotate the wrong way as theyโre feeding through the typewriterโs mechanisms, so you get sideways letters on your finished document. It looks kind of cool, though. Outside of that, sometimes the letter pusher doesnโt quite seat the letter tiles fully on the document plate.
Overall, though, itโs a highly functional and impressive build. Weโve seen some other great DIY typewriters before, too, like this 3D printed build. Video after the break.

Rewinding a Car Alternator for 240 Volt
Two phases installed on the stator. (Credit: FarmCraft101, YouTube) As part of his quest to find the best affordable generator for his DIY hydroelectric power system, [FarmCraft101] is trying out a range of off-the-shelf and DIY solutions, with in his most recent video trying his hands at the very relaxing activity of rewiring the stator of an alternator.
Normally car alternators output 12VDC after internal rectification, but due to the hundreds of meters from the turbine to the shed, heโd like a higher voltage to curb transmission losses. The easiest way to get a higher voltage out of a car alternator is to change up the wiring on the stator, which is definitely one of those highly educational tasks.
Disassembling an alternator is easy enough, but removing the copper windings from the stator is quite an ordeal, as they were not designed to ever move even a fraction of a millimeter after assembly.
With that arduous task finished, the rewinding was done using 22 AWG copper enamel wire, compared to the original 16 AWG wire, and increasing the loops per coil from 8 to 30. This rewinding isnโt too complicated if you know what youโre doing, with each coil on each of the three windings placed in an alternating fashion, matching the alternating South/North poles on the rotor.
Each phaseโs winding is offset by two slots, leaving space for the other two phases, which then correspondingly are 90ยฐ out of phase when running, creating the three-phase AC output. This is further detailed in the video.
To make sure the windings do not short out on the stator, each slot has a bit of Nomex insulating paper placed into it, and a PETG 3D printed slot holder makes sure that none of the windings sneak out of their slot after installation.
The phases were connected in a Wye configuration, which gives it the maximum possible voltage rather than optimizing it for current as in a Delta configuration.
With the rewinding done, the alternator was reassembled, and the three-phase output of the new stator tested. After some trial and error it was able to do 200 VDC after passing it through an external rectifier, for a total of 700 Watt.
While not an unmitigated success, it seems quite possible to use this alternator as a higher-voltage generator with the hydro setup, especially after the upcoming replacement of the rotorโs electromagnet with neodymium magnets to further simplify it. As a bonus, if he ever needs to rebuild a broken alternator from scratch, rewinding a stator is now childโs play.

In 2025 #Germany generated 94 TWh of electricity from coal at ~1000 gCO2eq/kWh, but it could have been zero if not one โclimate crimeโ decision (climate scientistsโ words not mine), because only in 2010 Germany produced 133 TWh per year from #nuclear power at 5.6 gCO2eq/kWh.

Here in the U.K. the Epstein Files revelations about Peter Mandelson has got everyone outraged and for once united in their condemnation.
But we're still British so there's all the classic understatement and things that are left unsaid but completely understood. I will give a summary translation for the international audience.
If Peter Mandelson isn't out of the House of Lords by the end of the day then the British government is no better than the American government, and there's no way anyone could ever stand for that.
I feel for the political strategists in Westminster trying to game the Mandelson scandal.
I'm imagining rooms full of analysts sat at computers with smoke blowing out of them and McSweeney screaming at them to run it through the programme again.
Here in the U.K. after being exposed in the Epstein Files, Lord Peter Mandelson has resigned from the House of Lords, he's been referred to the police for criminal investigation, and the government are drawing up emergency legislation to strip him of his title.
And most people, including me, are saying 'Well, it's a start, I suppose...'
Anyway, enough about us. How's it going in America?
