The RNA revolution: How our understanding of life's blueprint is being rewritten
For decades, the central dogma of molecular biology—DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease. This model explained classic Mendelian traits, such as how single DNA mutations in protein-coding regions could cause diseases like sickle cell anemia. Yet, this accounts for only about 2% of Mendelian inheritance and the resulting phenotypic changes.

Run the #tests (#dev)
I needed to build the latest dovecot on my box, to see if I could get it working (getting unresolved symbols in the one from debian testing)
BUT the test stage fails. Turns out the devs expect "example.com" not to resolve, *but it resolves* !
This is a kn…

Alright, got UPS monitoring and info via `nut` on the homelab network. The three Proxmox nodes are all net clients, and I took the fifth RPi4 that wasn't doing anything and tossed Raspbian on it to be the net server. After a bit of configuring: all of the servers are getting the information without issue.
As a bit of a note: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS _does not work_ on ARM64 because [insert reason here]. I think you can compile it yourself and it's fine, but the packages in the repos…

Electrically-gated laser-induced spin dynamics in magneto-electric iron garnet at room temperature
Ultrafast pump-probe imaging reveals that the efficiency of optical excitation of coherent spins waves in epitaxial iron garnet films can be effectively controlled by an external electric field at room temperature. Although a femtosecond laser pulse alone does not excite any pronounced coherent spin oscillations, an electrical gating with the field of 0.5 MV/m dramatically changes the outcome in a laser-induced launching of spin waves. The effect, demonstrated under room-temperature conditions,…

Just got a small space heater and damn it’s so much more comfortable here now
As a @… fan I’d prefer if my AC/heat pump supported heating mode, but welp it was already installed when I moved here so an electric heater will do it for the 2 days a year it’s actually cold enough for that to be useful here. Getting all that heat from the bedroom to the living room would be a problem anyway.
And I didn’t even need to make a fire hazard in order to use it since a 20A outlet was already around due to the coffee thingy, yay!
It’s been on for just around 40mins and it’s already sooo much better in here (the temp sensor is not on the side the heater is pointing to (the sofa) so it’ll take a while for it to reflect the change specially since this is a big room (kitchen dinner living), but just pointing the heater to where I’m at is enough to make it a comfortable temperature (and probably even way too hot in a bit)).
I’ve been wanting this for a while, but it never felt worth it bc we don’t really have many cold days here. Tho this year we got some more I think and today was specially cold (9~11°C) so I decided to just do it. Extra points bc it was available on fucking iFood of all places so it arrived less than an hour after I ordered it lmao.
