[AmiCube] has announced their new PiStorm68K special edition MiniMig accelerator board. This board was developed to replace the 68000 CPU in a MiniMig — a recreation of the original Amiga chipset in an FPGA allowing a real genuine 68000 CPU to operate.
The PiStorm68K itself can host a real genuine 68000 CPU but it can also host various Raspberry Pi models which can do emulation of a 68000. So if you combine a PiStorm68K with a MiniMig you can, at your option, boot into an emulated environment with massively increased performance, or you can boot into an original environment, with its reliable and charming sluggishness.
In the introduction video below, [AmiCube] uses the SYSINFO utility software to compare the CPU speed when using emulation (1531 MIPS) versus the original (4.47 MIPS), where MIPS means Millions of Instructions Per Second. As you can see the 68000 emulated by the Raspberry Pi is way faster than the original. The Raspberry Pi also emulates a floating-point unit (FPU) which the original doesn’t include and a memory management unit (MMU) which isn’t used.
I’m sad whenever I have little computer things that don’t have anything to do any more. I have an Orange Pi that I got during the Raspberry Pi shortage that is just sitting around.
What I’m saying is that we should set up a Beowulf cluster of these.

Linux Fu: Yet Another Shell Script Trick
I’m going to go ahead and admit it: I really have too many tray icons. You know the ones. They sit on your taskbar, perhaps doing something in the background or, at least, giving you fingertip access to some service. You’d think that creating a custom tray icon would be hard, but on Linux, it can be surprisingly simple. Part of the reason is that the Freedesktop people created standards, so you don’t typically have to worry about how it works on KDE vs. GNOME or any of the other desktop environments. That’s a big win.
In fact, it is simple enough that you can even make your own tray icons with a lowly shell script. Well, of course, like most interesting shell scripts, you need some helper programs and, in this case, we’ll use YAD — which is “yet another dialog,” a derivative of Zenity. It’s a GTK program that may cause minor issues if you primarily use KDE, but they are nothing insurmountable.
The program is somewhat of a Swiss army knife. You can use it to make dialogs, file pickers, color selectors, printer dialogs, and even — in some versions — simple web browsers. We’ve seen plenty of tools to make pretty scripts, of course. However, the ability to quickly make good-looking taskbar icons is a big win compared to many other tools.
Docs
Depending on what you want to do, YAD will read things from a command line, a file, or standard input. There are dozens of options, and it is, honestly, fairly confusing. Luckily, [Ingemar Karlsson] wrote the Yad Guide, which is very digestible and full of examples.
Exactly what you need will depend on what you want to do. In my case, I want a tray icon that picks up the latest posts from my favorite website. You know. Hackaday?
The Web Connection
YAD can render HTML using WebKit. However, I ran into immediate problems. The version in the repos for the Linux I use was too old to include the HTML option. I found a supposedly statically linked version, but it was missing dependencies. Even after I fixed that, the program still reported errors related to the NVIDIA OpenGL stack.
I quickly abandoned the idea of using a web browser. I turned to two other YAD features. First, the basic dialog can hold text and, in most cases, renders quasi-HTML because it uses the Pango library. However, there is also a text-info dialog built in. Unlike most other YAD features, the text-info dialog reads its input from standard input. However, it doesn’t render markup.
In the end, I decided to try them both. Why not? It is simple enough. But first, I needed a tray icon.
The Tray
YAD can provide a “notification,” which is what it calls a tray icon. You can specify an icon, some text, and a right-click context menu. In addition, it can react when someone clicks on the icon. Can you find the tray icon we’re talking about? I decided to write a script with multiple personalities. If you run it with no arguments, it sets up the tray icon. If you pass anything to it, it will show a dialog with the latest Hackaday articles from the RSS feed. I wanted to make those links clickable, and that turned out to be a bit of a wrinkle. Both versions will do the job, but they each need a different approach, as you will see.
Here’s the tray code:
yad --notification --image="$0.icon.png" --text="Hackaday Now" \ --menu="Quit!quit!gtk-quit" --command="$0 show" --no-middle
You can probably guess at most of this without the manual. The image is stored in a file with the same name as the script, but with .icon.png at the end. That’s the icon in the tray. The simple menu provides an option to exit the program. If you click the icon, it calls the same script again, but with the “show” argument. The script doesn’t care what the argument is, but maybe one day it will.
So that part of the project was extremely simple. The next job is making the dialog appear.
Text Info
Grabbing the RSS feed with wget is trivial. You could use grep, sed, and bash pattern replacement to extract the titles and URLs, but I opted for awk and a brute-force parsing approach. This works, but the URLs are long and not terribly attractive. The list is scrollable, and there are more links below the visible ones. The standard output of awk pipes into YAD, but you can’t readily apply formatting or hyperlinks. You can use formatting in regular dialog text, which will appear before the other output. That’s where the yellow “Hackaday Today!” title in the adjacent screenshot gets set. In addition, you can automatically detect URLs and make them clickable using the --show-uri option.
You’ll notice that the –text option does take Pango formatting and the --show-uri option makes the links clickable. By default, dialogs have an Open and Cancel button, but I forced this one to have a single close button, accept escape, and I wanted the button centered.
As you can see in the screenshot, the result isn’t bad, but it does require having the title followed by a long URL that you can click on and that’s a little ugly.
Stock Dialog
Using a standard dialog instead of text-info allows better formatting. Since the –text option works with any dialog and handles formatting, I decided to try that. The awk code was nearly the same, except for the output formatting. In addition, the output now needs to go on the command line instead of through a pipe.
This does make the script a bit more unwieldy. The awk script sets a variable, since jamming the command into the already busy YAD command line would make the script more complicated to read and work with.
The DATA variable has the formatted output text. The result looks better, as you can see in the screenshot. In either version, if you click an underlined link, your default browser should open the relevant post.
Other Choices
If you want to install either script, you can get it from GitHub. Of course, you could do this in Python or any other conventional language. There are also programs for “minimizing” another program to the tray, like AllTray or KDocker, although some of these may only work with X11 and not Wayland.
It would have been nice to have an integrated browser, although, thanks again to FreeDesktop, it is simple enough to open a URL and launch the system’s default browser.

I’ve never seen it but enjoyed the books. I know a few things have been reimagined for the show - but I wonder if I’m going to enjoy it (or just get grumpy)?
@ImpossibleUmbrella I loved the books (though it’s been over 40 years since I read them), and I love the show, but as many people have pointed out, the show is its own story with the same name and some of the same characters and ideas. If you go into it hoping for some quality sci-fi, I think you’ll be quite happy, but if you are wanting a TV adaptation of the books, you may not like it.

For a couple of decades as a professional pilot, I flew people who were pretty rich. One odd thing I found is that rich people are surprisingly unattractive.

The one person who really was attractive was the daughter of one of our aircraft owners. She was adopted.

Всем привет. Более 11 лет назад я писал на Хабре о том, что эпоха свободного интернета уходит. Тогда это казалось меланхоличным прогнозом, сегодня, в 2026 году, это суровая реальность. Мы привыкли к чебурнету, DPI, тотальным блокировкам протоколов WireGuard/OpenVPN и «вечному колесику» загрузки на видеохостингах. Раньше мы поднимали свои VPS за 5 рублей в сутки, крутили конфиги Nginx и радовались жизни. Сегодня даже личный VPS могут «окирпичить» за использование VLESS/Reality, если трафик покажется подозрительным. Недавно я решил вернуться к истокам и потестить максимально простой, дешевый и, как ни странно, живучий способ — обычные SOCKS5/HTTP прокси.

As areas of uncontrolled cell growth, cancerous growth form a major problem for a multi-celled organism like us humans. Thus before they can begin to affect our long-term prospects of a continued existence, eradicating these cells-gone-wrong is essential. Unfortunately, doing so without affecting healthy cells significantly is tough. Treatments such as chemotherapy are correspondingly rough on the body, while radiation therapy is a lot more directed. Perhaps one of the more fascinating treatments involves ultrasound, with the IEEE Spectrum magazine recently covering one company providing histotripsy equipment.

Unfortunately, doing so without affecting healthy cells significantly is tough. Treatments such as chemotherapy are correspondingly rough on the body, while radiation therapy is a lot more directed. Perhaps one of the more fascinating treatments involves ultrasound, with the IEEE Spectrum magazine recently covering one company providing histotripsy equipment.

(Credit: James Ross McLaughlan, Wikimedia) Ultrasound has found many applications in the medical field far beyond imaging, with therapeutic ultrasound by itself covering a variety of methods to perform actions within the body without breaking the skin. By using high-energy ultrasound, everything from kidney stones to fat cells and cancerous cells can be accurately targeted and destroyed. For liver tumors the application of so-called histotropsy has become quite common, allowing certain types of tumors to be ablated non-invasively after which the body can handle the clean-up.
Histotropsy is a form of high-intensify focused ultrasound (HIFU) that uses either continuous or pulsed waves to achieve the desired effect, with the HIFU transducer equipped with an acoustic lens to establish a focal point. In the case of histotripsy cavitation is induced at this focal point that ends up destroying the local tissue. Beyond liver tumors the expectation is that other tumors will soon be treated in a similar manner, which could be good news for especially solid tumors.
Along with new approaches like CAR T cell immunotherapy, the prospects for cancer becoming a very treatable set of diseases would seem to be brighter than ever.
Oggi un collega si lamentava del fatto che nonostante si fosse vaccinato gli era venuta la febbre e le sue ferie erano andate male. Purtroppo la vaccinazione non è una garanzia assoluta di stare bene e comunque chissà cos'altro è riuscito a prendere. Un altro collega (terrapiattista, no-vax, pro-Putin, complottista) che ascoltava ha iniziato a scuotere la testa e borbottare. Poi si è messo a parlare di 5G e centri commerciali. Ero indeciso se ridere o mandarlo a cagare...
il fatto che alcuni italiani siano stati scarcerati (finalmente!) in Venezuela sulla base di una decisione del capo di governo venezuelano dovrebbe dirla lunga sulla mancanza di separazione dei poteri e sul controllo del sistema giudiziario da parte dell'esecutivo, a chi guarda a quel paese come faro delle speranze popolari
aber es stimmt doch das "zitieren erlauben" nicht aktiv eingstellt werden kann oder? oder ist das irrelevant für den Fehler?

What I’m saying is that we should set up a Beowulf cluster of these.
