→ Ce #pêcheur artisanal a vaincu les chaluts de fond en larguant 800 blocs de béton en #mer
lareleveetlapeste.fr/ce-pecheu…

« […] 800 blocs de béton et marbre ont été immergés, dont 49 #sculptures sous-marines, réalisées par des artistes de renommée internationale et pesant entre 15 et 20 tonnes environ. Assez pour obliger les chalutiers à contourner la zone, de peur d’avoir les #filets empêtrés dans les blocs : "nous avons stoppé le #chalutage illégal dans la zone à 90 %", sourit [Paolo Fanciulli]. »

Turns out climate change keeps happening even when we decide we don't want to talk about it anymore

theguardian.com/world/2025/dec…

The Arctic endured a year of record heat and shrunken sea ice as the world’s northern latitudes continue a rapid shift to becoming rainier and less ice-bound due to the climate crisis, scientists have reported.

From October 2024 to September 2025, temperatures across the entire Arctic region were the hottest in 125 years of modern record keeping, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said, with the last 10 years being the 10 warmest on record in the Arctic.

The Arctic is heating up as much as four times as quickly as the global average, due to the burning of fossil fuels, and this extra heat is warping the world’s refrigerator – a region that acts as a key climate regulator for the rest of the planet.

Changes to polar bear DNA could help them adapt to global heating, study finds

The maximum extent of sea ice in 2025 was the lowest in the 47-year satellite record, Noaa reported on in its annual Arctic report card. This is the latest landmark in a longer trend, with the region’s oldest, thickest ice declining by more than 95% since the 1980s as the Arctic becomes hotter and rainier.

The new Mozilla CEO says he could block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that it would bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that. Lmao. This guy has really lost the plot. Is he issuing threats to the users of an open-source project? Boy, what a disaster.

Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?

17 de dezembro de 2025

In an interview with “The Verge”, the new Mozilla CEO, Enzor-DeMeo, IMHO hints that axing adblockers is something that, at the very least, was on the table in some form and at some point. From the article:

"He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission."

It may be just me, but I read this as “I don't want to 😜 😜 but I'll kill AdBlockers in Firefox for buckerinos 😂”. This disappoints and saddens me a lot, and I hope I'm wrong.

Trump promised tariffs would “cripple” China. Reality check: China’s 🇨🇳 trade surplus just topped $1 TRILLION for the first time, exports up, imports flat. Meanwhile America 🇺🇸 runs a $52.8B deficit. Failed policy, real consequences.

Alt: Split image graphic. Top image shows Chinese President Xi Jinping standing at a formal event, raising a wine glass in a toast, with bold text reading: “China just posted their best trade numbers EVER. Over the last year, they’ve found a better way to sell their goods.” Bottom image shows Donald Trump seated at a desk in the Oval Office, looking down with a dissatisfied expression, with text reading: “I thought Trump’s tariffs were supposed to cripple China? I guess now we understand why the guy has had six bankruptcies…”

Descriptions Text (for screen readers): A two-panel political comparison graphic. The top panel shows Chinese President Xi Jinping at a formal ceremony, holding up a glass of wine in a toast. Overlaid text states that China has posted its best trade numbers ever, suggesting improved export performance over the past year. The bottom panel shows Donald Trump seated at a desk in the Oval Office, looking down with a displeased or resigned expression. Overlaid text questions Trump’s tariff policy, implying it failed to cripple China and referencing his history of business bankruptcies. The image contrasts China’s growing trade strength with the United States facing a large trade deficit.

As the year winds down, we’ve wrapped up a release that brings better moderation tools, a new way to display reactions, and a small surprise, just in time for the holidays.

Stronger Tools for Moderation

Moderation can be hard work, especially on the Fediverse, where conversations flow in from all directions. This release introduces new tools that help you stay in control with less manual effort.

You can now subscribe to shared blocklists and let the plugin keep them up to date automatically. Subscribed lists are synced on a weekly cadence, so changes made upstream are reflected on your site without you having to lift a finger.
A screenshot of the block list subscription feature.
On top of that, we’ve added a bulk domain blocklist importer. You can upload a CSV or plain text file, including Mastodon-style exports, and quickly add large numbers of domains at once. To make it even easier to get started, the importer includes a one-click option for the popular community-maintained IFTAS DNI list (@about.iftas.org).
A screenshot of the block list importer feature.
Together, these features make moderation more scalable and less stressful, so you can spend more time engaging and less time firefighting.

Reactions, Your Way

Reactions are a big part of how conversations feel alive on the Fediverse, and now you have more control over how they appear on your site.

The Fediverse Reactions block gained a new Summary display style. Instead of showing a facepile of avatars, this option presents reactions as clean, inline counters for comments, likes, boosts, and replies. It’s a great fit for minimal layouts, feeds, or sites where avatars are disabled.
A screenshot of the compact reactions.
You can switch between the classic facepile and the new summary style directly in the block settings. And if avatars are turned off in discussion settings, the block automatically falls back to the summary view.

A Sneak Peek at the Reader (Experimental)

One more thing, for the curious among you, there’s now an early preview of the ActivityPub Reader, hidden behind a feature flag in the Advanced settings tab. If you don’t see it yet, open Screen Options at the top right of the ActivityPub settings page, check “Advanced Settings,” and save. That reveals the Advanced tab where you can enable the Reader.
A screenshot of the reader implementation.
When enabled, this adds a new “Social Web” submenu to your Dashboard menu item. An place where you can read posts and shares from accounts you follow, turning your WordPress admin into a lightweight Fediverse reader.

Because this is still very much a work in progress, the Reader is disabled by default and clearly marked as experimental. The UI, behavior, and feature set will change significantly in future releases as we explore what a great native Fediverse reading experience inside WordPress could look like.

If you enjoy testing new ideas, we’d love to hear your feedback, whether it’s bug reports, rough edges you’ve noticed, or ideas about what this Reader should become. Early input helps shape where this goes next, so feel free to share your thoughts in whatever form works best for you.

Changelog

Added

Add blocklist subscriptions for automatic weekly synchronization of remote blocklists.
Add compact display style to Reactions block that hides avatars.

What you don't say: That the plugin is not updated in ClassicPress installations if already installed, and can't be installed on installations without a former version.

On my main blog with ClassicPress 2.6.0, although automatic updates are active, the version of the plugin is still 5.3.2 – and it only works here and there. Mostly the articles don't reach the Fediverse.

On another blog, also with ClassicPress 2.6.0, I tried to install it yesterday and the plugin site said: no.

It seems to me that ClassicPress is not wanted in the Fediverse.

AI Picks Outfits With Abandon

Most of us choose our own outfits on a daily basis. [NeuroForge] decided that he’d instead offload this duty to artificial intelligence — perhaps more for the sake of a class project than outright fashion.

The concept involved first using an AI model to predict the weather. Those predictions would then be fed to a large language model (LLM), which would recommend an appropriate outfit for the conditions. The output from the LLM would be passed to a simple alarm clock which would wake [NeuroForge] and indicate what he should wear for the day. Amazon’s Chronos forecasting model was used for weather prediction based on past weather data, while Meta’s Llama3.1 LLM was used to make the clothing recommendations. [NeuroForge] notes that it was possible to set all this up to work without h

Catching those Old Busses

The PC has had its fair share of bus slots. What started with the ISA bus has culminated, so far, in PCI Express slots, M.2 slots, and a few other mechanisms to connect devices to your computer internally. But if the 8-bit ISA card is the first bus you can remember, you are missing out. There were practically as many bus slots in computers as there were computers. Perhaps the most famous bus in early home computers was the Altair 8800’s bus, retroactively termed the S-100 bus, but that wasn’t the oldest standard.

There are more buses than we can cover in a single post, but to narrow it down, we’ll assume a bus is a standard that allows uniform cards to plug into the system in some meaningful way. A typical bus will provide power and access to the computer’s data bus, or at least to its I/O system. Some bus connectors also allow access to the computer’s memory. In a way, the term is ove

Catching those Old Busses

Tradeoffs

There are several trade-offs to consider when designing a bus. For example, it is tempting to provide regulated power via the bus connector. However, that also may limit the amount of power-hungry electronics you can put on a card and — even worse — on all the cards at one time. That’s why the S-100 bus, for example, provided unregulated power and expected each card to regulate it.

On the other hand, later buses, such as VME, will typically have regulated power supplies available. Switching power supplies were a big driver of this. Providing, for example, 100 W of 5 V power using a linear power supply was a headache and wasteful. With a switching power supply, you can easily and efficiently deliver regulated power on demand.

Some bus standards provide access to just the CPU’s I/O space. Others allow adding memory, and, of course, some processors only allow memory-mapped I/O. Depending on the CPU and the complexity of the bus, cards may be able to interrupt the processor or engage in direct memory access independent of the CPU.

In addition to power, there are several things that tend to differentiate traditional parallel buses. Of course, power is one of them, as well as the number of bits available for data or addresses. Many bus structures are synchronous. They operate at a fixed speed, and in general, devices need to keep up. This is simple, but it can impose tight requirements on devices.

Tight timing requirements constrain the length of bus wires. Slow devices may need to insert wait states to slow the bus, which, of course, slows it for everyone.

An asynchronous bus, on the other hand, works transactionally. A transaction sends data and waits until it is acknowledged. This is good for long wires and devices with mixed speed capability, but it may also require additional complexity.

Some buses are relatively dumb — little more than wires hanging off the processor through some drivers. Then how can many devices share these wires? Open-collector logic is simple and clever, but not very good at higher speeds. Tri-state drivers are a common solution, although the fanout limitations of the drivers can limit how many devices you can connect to the bus.

If you look at any modern bus, you’ll see these limitations have driven things to serial solutions, usually with differential signaling and sophisticated arbitration built into the bus. But that’s not our topic today.

Unibus

A Unibus card (public domain)
A common early bus was the Digital Equipment Corporation Unibus. In 1969, you needed a lot of board space to implement nearly anything, so Unibus cards were big. PDP-11 computers and some early VAX machines used Unibus as both the system bus for memory and I/O operations.

Unibus was asynchronous, so devices could go as fast as they could or as slow as they needed. There were two 36-pin edge connectors with 56 pins of signals and 16 pins for power and ground.

Unibus was advanced for its time. Many of the pins had pull-up resistors on the bus so that multiple cards could assert them by pulling them to ground. For example, INTR, the interrupt request line, would normally be high, with no cards asserting an interrupt. If any board pulls the line low, the processor will service the interrupt, subject to priority resolution that Unibus supported via bus requests and grants.

The grants daisy-chained from card to card. This means that empty slots required a “grant continuity card” that connected the grant lines to prevent breaking the daisy chain.

Q-Bus CPU card (CC BY-SA 4.0 by [Phiarc])The bus also had power quality lines that could inform devices when AC or DC power was low. High-performance computers might have “Fastbus,” which was two Unibuses connected but optimized to increase bandwidth. Because the boards were large, Digital would eventually adopt Q-Bus, or the LSI-11 bus. This was very similar to Unibus, but it multiplexed data and address lines, allowing boards to be smaller and cheaper to produce. Fewer wires also meant simplified backplanes and wiring, reducing costs.

Eventually, the Digital machines acquired Massbus for connecting to specific disk and tape drives. It was also an asynchronous bus, but only for data. It carried 18 bits plus a parity bit. Boards like the RH11 would connect Massbus devices to the Unibus. There would be other Digital Equipment buses like TURBOChannel.

Other computer makers, of course, had their own ideas. Sun had MBus and HP 3000 and 9000 computers, which used the HP Precision Bus and HP GSC. But the real action for people like us was with the small computers.

S-100 and Other Micros

It is easy to see that when the designers defined the Altair 8800 bus, they didn’t expect it to be a standard. There was simply a 100-pin connector that accepted cards 10 inches long by 5 inches tall. The bus was just barely more than the Intel 8080 pins brought out, along with some power. At first, the bus split the databus into an input and output bus. However, later cards used a bidirectional bus to allow for more grounds on the now unused bus bits to help reduce noise.

Through the late 1970s and early 1980s, the S-100 market was robust. Most CP/M machines using an 8080 or Z-80 had S-100 bus slots. In fact, it was popular enough that it gave birth to a real standard: IEEE 696. However, by 1994, the IBM PC had made the S-100 bus a relic, and the IEEE retired the standard.

Of course, the PC bus would go on to be dominant on x86 machines for a while; other systems had other buses. The SS-50 was sort of the S-100 for 6800 computers. The 68000 computers often used VMEbus, which was closely tied to the asynchronous bus of that CPU.

Embedded Systems

While things like S-100 were great for desktop systems, they were generally big and expensive. That led to competitors for small system use. Eurocard was a popular mechanical standard that could handle up to 96 signals. The DIN 41612 connectors had 32 pins per row, with two or three rows.

Eurocard CPU (CC BY-SA 4.0 by [SpareHeadOne])A proper Eurocard could handle batteries and had strict rules about signal fanout and input levels. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really a bus because it didn’t define all the pin assignments, so cards made by one vendor didn’t always work with cards from another vendor. The N8VEM homebrew computer (see the video below) used Eurocards. VME used a 3-row Eurocard connector, as well.

youtube.com/embed/wjf0k0vNxrQ?…

STD Bus card (CC-BY 4.0 by [AkBkukU])Another popular small system bus was the STD Bus popularized by companies like Mostek. These were small 6.5″ x 4.5″ cards with a 56-pin connector. At one time, more than 100 companies produced these cards. You can still find a few of them around, and the boards show up regularly on the surplus market. You can see more about the history of these common cards and their bus in the video below.

youtube.com/embed/HaqWV9qY5fs?…

Catching the Bus

We don’t deal much with these kinds of buses in modern equipment. Modern busses tend to be high-speed serial and sophisticated. Besides, a hobby-level embedded system now probably uses a system-on-a-chip or, at least, a single board computer, with little need for an actual bus other than, perhaps, SPI, I2C, or USB for I/O expansion.

Of course, modern bus standards are the winners of wars with other standards. You can still get new S-100 boards. Sort of.

Dicembre ti sta friggendo il cervello? La soluzione è la disintossicazione digitale!

E’ arrivato! E’ dicembre che arriva sempre con quel carico di bilanci che pesano sulla schiena.

Ma ormai il bilancio non si fa più solo tra sé e sé. C’è questo strano fenomeno del sovraccarico, una specie di rumore di fondo che diventa insopportabile proprio quando dovremmo rallentare.

I social ad esempio, si riempiono di gente che urla i propri successi dell’anno e le chat di lavoro esplodono perché bisogna chiudere tutto, subito, prima che scatti il primo gennaio, come se poi il mondo finisse davvero.

In mezzo a questo caos, gli algoritmi dei negozi non ti lasciano respirare.

Dicembre ti sta friggendo il cervello? La soluzione è la disintossicazione digitale!

E’ arrivato! E’ dicembre che arriva sempre con quel carico di bilanci che pesano sulla schiena.

In mezzo a questo caos, gli algoritmi dei negozi non ti lasciano respirare.

Ti inseguono con sconti che sembrano occasioni imperdibili, che rasentano lo scam di massa, e intanto senti la pressione di dover scattare la foto perfetta per Instagram. E poi intorno al 24, si finisce a passare le ore a fare copia e incolla di un unico messaggio di auguri (con tanto di immagine) da inviare a tutti gli “amici” su WhatsApp, perdendo di vista quello che sta succedendo davvero nella nostra stanza.

Il bisogno di staccare la spina

“Stacca, Stacca, Staccami la spina” cantava Jovanotti (Lorenzo Cherubini) moltissimi anni fa.

Ma molti (e non nascondetelo) se ne accorgono così, quasi per caso, di quanto sono diventati schiavi di quel rettangolo luminoso. Uno tira fuori il telefono per guardare che tempo fa o se sono già le otto, e trenta minuti dopo è ancora lì che scorre notizie o reals a caso, senza un motivo preciso.

Capita pure durante le cene: il cibo arriva in tavola e invece di mangiarlo lo si fotografa da ogni angolazione, interrompendo tutto il ritmo della serata.

Le famiglie si ritrovano sedute allo stesso tavolo ma vivono vite parallele.

Ognuno fissa il suo schermo, immerso in una bolla digitale che rende la presenza fisica una specie di accessorio opzionale. È un modo di stare insieme che non è stare insieme, ed è in questo momento di massima frizione che la voglia di una disintossicazione digitale inizia a farsi strada nella testa della gente.

La fatica di elaborare troppi dati

I ricercatori hanno pure dato un nome a questa sensazione di pesantezza:burnout digitale.

È una stanchezza cronica che viene dal mangiare troppe informazioni, un’indigestione di dati che il cervello umano non è proprio fatto per gestire. Siamo bombardati.

Ogni notifica che arriva attiva il sistema dello stress e ci tiene in uno stato di allerta perenne, manco fossimo nella giungla a scappare dai predatori, e invece stiamo solo leggendo una mail.

Il problema grosso è che la nostra capacità di concentrarci profondamente sta andando a farsi benedire.

Passiamo da un’app all’altra, da una scheda del browser a un’altra, e il cervello poveretto non riesce a starti dietro. Esiste questa cosa chiamata attenzione residua: un pezzo di te resta incastrato nel compito di prima, così quello che stai facendo adesso lo fai peggio. È un’efficienza che cola a picco, un po’ come cercare di correre nel fango.

Chimica del sonno e giornate corte

A dicembre questa stanchezza accumulata per dodici mesi arriva a un punto di rottura.

La gente diventa irritabile (e ci credo), fa fatica a prendere sonno e non combina più niente di buono al lavoro.

C’è anche una questione tecnica, legata alla luce blu degli schermi che blocca la melatonina. In inverno, con le giornate che durano un attimo e la luce naturale che scarseggia, questa interferenza con l’ormone del sonno è una mazzata per l’organismo.

Il fatto è che dicembre non è un mese come gli altri, ha questo peso simbolico di chiusura del cerchio. È il momento in cui ci si guarda indietro e si pensa che forse si potrebbe vivere diversamente, anche se questa “consapevolezza”, capita molte poche volte all’anno. Se per tutto l’anno hai rimandato il pensiero di cambiare abitudini, l’arrivo dell’anno nuovo ti dà quella spinta di “ultima occasione” per rimetterti in sesto.

Preparare il terreno per il nuovo anno

Fare un detox digitale prima di Capodanno viene visto un po’ come un rito di purificazione.

Come quando si fanno le pulizie di primavera in casa, solo che qui si pulisce lo spazio mentale.

È l’opportunità per smettere di agire come robot, di rendersi conto di quanto tempo si butta via a guardare il nulla e provare a riprendersi le redini della propria attenzione.

Non è che bisogna buttare il telefono nel cassonetto, eh. Si tratta di ritrovare un equilibrio che abbia un senso.

Qualcuno stabilisce dei coprifuoco digitali, tipo che un’ora prima di dormire o durante i pasti i telefoni spariscono dalla vista. Altri cancellano le app che creano più dipendenza o decidono che un giorno a settimana i social non esistono proprio.

Piccole strategie di sopravvivenza

C’è chi prova a tornare all’analogico, che sembra quasi un concetto vintage.

Un libro di carta invece dell’e-book, o un gioco da tavolo invece di rincitrullirsi davanti ai videogiochi. Una cosa che aiuta molto, dicono, è farsi una domanda banale prima di sbloccare lo schermo: “Perché sto prendendo in mano il telefono?”. Spesso la risposta è “per noia”, e già rendersene conto è un passo avanti.

Alla fine, il punto non è odiare la tecnologia, ma smettere di farsi usare da lei. Il vero vantaggio di tutto questo staccare è che si torna a essere presenti, a stare nel momento mentre le cose succedono.

Dicembre è pieno di momenti che meriterebbero di essere vissuti davvero, tra cene e parenti, e riscoprire la gioia di parlarsi dal vivo senza notifiche che vibrano in tasca non è poi così male.

Io questo anno stacco veramente la spina per riaccenderla ad inizio gennaio. E voi?

I 3D printed a Wii menu with movable tiles. After having completed five new ones, we now have fifteen in the collection. #3DPrinting #3DPrints

@madeindex I use an Elegoo Mars 2, but while high quality and affordable, the resin is a severe pain in the ass to deal with. I'd recommend a Prusa if price is no object for its open nature, but bambu ones are cheap and easy to work with, albeit a bit more closed. For files, I primarily post on Thingiverse and Cults.

Regali di Natale e ChatGPT, che fallimento: i suggerimenti sono (quasi) tutti sbagliati

Sulla falsariga dell'articolo ho chiesto ad Euria che cosa potrei regalarmi per Natale e la risposta è stata intelligente:

"Non posso suggerirti regali specifici senza conoscere i tuoi interessi, budget o preferenze"
