In GrapheneOS, you can now opt into a new feature called security preview releases. This allows you to receive monthly security patches earlier than the standard schedule.
For example, the 2025092701 security preview release already includes additional patches from the November 2025 and December 2025 Android Security Bulletins, along with fixes for several CVEs.
Full details can be found here:

A smartphone settings screen for GrapheneOS titled 'System update' shows options for checking updates, changing release channels, and enabling security previews.

NoMachine is a solution for Linux that allows one to take over an existing desktop session while preventing the computer from being unlocked locally at the same time. In fact, it unlocks the computer, but blanks the screen and disables input. I think UltraVNC had similar options over 15 years ago, but only for Windows.
In principle, it should be possible to replicate this behaviour for any remote desktop tool (?). 🤔

The Sony PVM-9044Q came in and initial testing looks great so far. I have the NES connected via Y/C In (a.k.a. S-Video) and the image quality is outstanding. There is some tube burn-in which is noticeable but pretty minor overall, nothing that will get in the way of playing games at all. Overall geometry looks good, doesn't really need a ton of correction.

Conference vignette 👀: #OpenScience is about much more than #OpenData. Presenting unpublished work is also Openness, as social science alumna Dr. Ros Attenborough reminded us. And if you can share that way, then...
In the Presidential symposium, another lab alumnus introduced a mouse protein that massively affected the clock ⏰ . His group found it through an ambitious phosphoproteomic 🧪 candidate selection approach on a cell line 🧫 , looking beyond the canonical idea of the clockwork (TTFL in the jargon). Canonical here means canonised by a Nobel prize.
A good friend from Japan explained in the Q&A that his group had just found the SAME gene in a genetic screen of mice 🐁with altered sleep patterns 🐁💤🛌. We know the clock controls sleep. So, independent evidence across continents.👍
Over dinner they started to coordinate how they would each publish their work. #Science working.

Writing firmware on my first laptop, for the PIC12F683 (the first microcontroller I ever used), on my first embedded project ever (robotic rubber band gun turret) freshman year of college, bodged together on perf board.
The UART and servo PWM were both bitbanged because the PIC12F683 didn't have any UARTs and I hadn't learned how to use the timer block yet.

So, made the CMPTR breakout board, got RGB into the TV and all of the colors were very, very dim. Even cranking the brightness to 100% didn't solve the issue, and the picture was then slightly brighter and washed out. Spent a ton of time troubleshooting the board and got to the point where there was no obvious issue with the signal going into the TV.
Decided to sleep on the problem and attacked it today where I realized what the issue was: the Picture setting was at the minimum. …

The original picture using RGB as an input.  Notice that the picture is weak in about every aspect.

Hmmmm, well I went to start setting up a recording session for some Meshtastic radios only to realize that my OBS doesn't seem to support screen recording...
It loads the screen, but only for a few frames before it just stops. Doesn't seem to spit out any errors on the CLI and doesn't crash, it just stops receiving updates from Pipewire.
Tried both v32 from their Flatpak and v31 from the Debian 13 (Trixie) repo and both seem to have the same issue.

Curtis Yarvin wears racial hatred as a badge of honor
—and clearly doesn't come into contact with people of color on a regular basis.
Yarvin, who hides behind a screen, wouldn't have the guts to utter these slurs on the street. -- In the real world, that kind of talk tends to carry consequences.
Instead, he flings epithets from the safety of his tony Craftsman home in ultra-liberal Berkeley, performing racism online for an audience of anonymous far-right Twitter use…

The gym that charges their members over a hundred bucks a year is showing us the Google TV Freeplay channel. I wonder where all the membership money has gone.

But honestly, I'd rather than spending more money on better equipment over TV channel subscriptions.

At some point, DOPs should stop going for even shallower depth of field or even weirder anamorphic lens distortion. I'm feeling like an old guy complaining about how "you can't see anything on the screen! It's too dark". Only I'm like "nothing is in focus anymore you doofuses!"
Yes, this is a subtoot about #Brick on

Outdoor scene from the German Netflix movie Brick. Medium closeup shot of a bearded white guy with a shirt and tie who is standing in the street facing the camera. Two other actors, a brunette woman on the left and a man on the right are with their backs to the camera. Due to the shallow depth of field and motion blur even the actor who should be in focus is slightly out of focus. The street background is very out of focus as are the backs of the other to actors.

Been playing this game I dig on the Android tablet called Dungeon Raid. It's a card flipping dungeon crawler (the dev calls it an 'adventure card roguelike') that's fairly easy to figure out-- lots of strategy and replayability. At first, you can start out playing as either a knight or a vampire, delving down, trying not to die of hunger.
If a relic in a game you can choose is a fried egg, you can probably assume it's a game for me.
There's also Linux, M…
