Might move Home Assistant to another device. It's getting memory hungry and has started to chew CPU a bit more with all my sensors. I have a Pi5 8GB with a Waveshare NVMe sidecar that's been sitting unused since I bought it in 2023, which seems like a fine target. Now is not the time to be investing in hardware!

After raising $51 million, Minimus shuts down as Twistlock founders return remaining cash to investors
The cybersecurity startup failed to gain enough commercial momentum to continue operating. Customers will have 60 days to migrate before the company's registry is switched off. 

#TuneTuesday (Jul 7)
The Netherlands’ 🇳🇱 entry for #Eurovision 2023 was “Burning Daylight” by Mia Nicolai and Dion Cooper. Maybe it’s because it’s not the usual kitschy Eurovision song why I like it a lot (and why it wasn’t in the final), but it actually reminds me of “Arcade” by Duncan Laurenc…

Fohlenticker und Saisonbewertung am 12.5 : Enttäuschend – Gladbach ist nur noch eine graue Maus
Die Mannschaft hat mir vor einigen Wochen den Stecker gezogen und ich habe meine wöchentlichen Kommentare zum Spieltag eingestellt. Die Leistungen, die leeren Versprechungen, die wiederkehrenden Enttäuschungen haben meine Lust auf Fohlen-Fußball mehr als nur gedämpft. Ich hatte und habe derzeit keinen Bock mehr auf das Team. Es zieht sich ein roter Faden durch die Saison:…

Climate alarm!
This is NOT within normal bounds for the Netherlands: the second half of June is now forecasted to become the warmest in 126 years, beating June 2023 by a margin of over 3°C!
24-hour average of 23.4°C, in this forecast.

Man muss Lanz nicht mögen. Gestern Abend hatte Manfred Weber (CSU) jedenfalls kein leichtes Spiel.
Es ging hauptsächlich um den Iran-Krieg und am Ende noch um unsere Automobilindustrie. Weber wirkt völlig planlos.

UPLOAD-ANYON: Progress Towards an Optimised Twisted Anyon Cavity with High-Sensitivity AM-Noise Detection for an Ultralight Axion Dark Matter Search

Abstract: We propose a superconducting single-mode microwave haloscope based on helical cavity resonators for the detection of ultralight dark matter axions over the mass range $10^{-18}$ to $10^{-13}\,\mathrm{eV}$. Building on the single-mode helical-cavity concept introduced by Bourhill et al. [Phys. Rev. D 108, 052014 (2023); arXiv:2208.01640], we use an inverse-design framework to develop practical resonator geometries compatible with superconducting niobium fabrication. The optimisation employs a figure of merit derived to minimise the measurement time required to achieve a fixed experimental sensitivity. Relative to the heuristic M\"obius-geometry benchmark, the best subtractively manufacturable bulk-niobium design achieves a figure of merit more than three orders of magnitude larger. An experimentally informed microwave interferometric readout model, incorporating measured electronics noise and active suppression of pump amplitude noise, is used to project the sensitivity of the proposed experiment. For an acquisition time of three months, the haloscope is projected to reach $g_{a\gamma\gamma}<10^{-11}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$ across more than four orders of magnitude in axion mass. The projected sensitivity extends approximately one order of magnitude below the current exclusion limits set by CAST, providing a practical pathway towards a high-sensitivity direct search for ultralight dark matter axions.
