Three cities. Two days. Lviv, Mykolaiv, Dnipro.

In Lviv, 23-year-old Viktoriya Shpylka was killed by a double-tap bomb near a shopping center. First to draw police, second to kill them.

In Mykolaiv, seven wounded during shift change at a police station.

In Dnipro, explosion inside a district station.

Civilians. Police. Ordinary people. While leaders talk, the innocent pay.

Our deepest condolences to Viktoriya's family. Strength to the wounded.

Hey devs! 👋

I build mobile apps and got tired of manually fixing broken builds and dependencies after package updates. So I decided to build an AI agent that automatically fixes update-related errors and updates dependencies — even library upgrades.

Quick facts about the agent:
- Runs on deepseek in deepseek-chst (v3.2) mode with temperature 0.0.
- Can revive the project after errors and run automated tests.
- Won’t require confirmations for common commands (build, run, flutter pub get, etc.) to save time.
- While the agent fixes things automatically, you can do something useful or grab a coffee ☕.

Why this matters:
- I tried dozens of solutions — many crash frequently or demand confirmations even for simple commands (cd, cat, etc.). Endless "Y + Enter" kills productivity.

Want to help?
- If you want to join improving this tool — follow me and leave feedback. I’ll share the open Git repo and welcome your suggestions and criticism.

Thanks — have a great day/evening (time zones may vary)!

Kennedy Jr.: Gates & Rockefellers have total control over WHO.

Mechanics:
→ Gates Foundation = WHO's 2nd largest funder
→ Gates invests in vaccine makers (GAVI, CEPI)
→ WHO recommends → countries buy from Gates-backed firms
→ Profits cycle back
→ Research questioning safety suppressed
→ Rockefellers built the blueprint decades ago

WHO isn't protecting health. It's protecting investments.

DevLog: Orange Sentry Sprint 3 - Unix Domain Sockets & Async MQTT

Introuction

This one was a doozy. The main objective was to write a functional async subscribing MQTT client, but to get there I ended up rewriting the entire IPC stack. I moved from FIFO named pipes to Unix Domain Sockets. A lot of time was spent laying the groundwork and learning the quirks of C development. The result is a fully finished and debugged MQTT client, an upgraded memory Arena system, and a much cleaner architecture that communicates using raw binary structs.

The engineering

I have seen low level programming being described as building a skyscraper. The first half of the project is spent just digging on the ground. That could not describe this sprint better. So much time has been dedicated to laying foundations to this project. From structural to technological to knowledge, I had to work a lot for seemingly not that much result. But let me tell you, when you start to actually code on main.c it feels amazing.

I realized that I did not make my homework well enough on the last sprint. I went with fifo pipes because they were easy and friendly to implement, and fell in the trap of not considering my options nicely before.

But Unix Domain Sockets (UDSs) are so much better for this application! For one, they are bidirectional. This means that instead of having two pipes per connecting process, I only need to have one.

Another thing is that they can be message-based, unlike FIFO that are stream-based. This means that if I send 50 bytes I can guarantee that the other side receives that exact amount in one go, while with FIFO the other side could read 10 then 30 then 10. This means that, even if the implementation is a bit bigger and requires a bit more work to debug, I have to write way less logic to accomplish the same thing, which is very good.

It also allows me to handle writing the controller in a more concise way. Since the UDS API is the same as the normal network socket API, it is very optimized for handling many connections. That being said, it took me a bit of work and a lot of time procrastinating because I thought it would be worse than it actually was, but I did it, and I can say that this is actually a lot better. Since I can use discrete messages to communicate, I can do everything with structs and unions, avoiding having to parse json or something like that, which is good.

The rest of the sprint was focused on the MQTT client itself. I successfully implemented the async subscribing functionality using the Eclipse Paho library. I also furthered the memory arena functionality and made many other small changes for both quality of developer life and the betterment of the project's structure.

The Main blockers

My main blockers were life stuff outside the project, the sheer amount of stuff you need to write before writing the actual software, and my general ineptitude with C. My solutions were putting in the time, reading manuals, studying the Paho docs, finding random tutorials, and consulting AI.

The Next Steps

The next sprint will be writing some kernel modules to manage some button presses. There are some other, better ways to do this, but I really want to learn about writing kernel modules, and this one just seemed like the best way to sneak a bit or kernel into the project without being too disruptive.

I am a bit sick of MQTT lol

Bill Gates at the UN: human rights, better world for children.

Reality: Gates was part of Epstein's network. Flown on his jets. Met repeatedly. Epstein's network raped, trafficked, tortured, killed 13-15 year olds.

Gates knew. Documents prove it. Flight logs prove it.

And nothing happened. Because the machine protects itself.

Don't forget.

Italy banned synthetic meat in 2023. Now Hungary followed. France and Spain debating.

Target: lab-grown "food" backed by Bill Gates (Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods). Gates says rich countries should switch to 100% synthetic beef.

Italy's answer: No.

This isn't about climate. It's about control. Same investors pushing AI to replace farm workers. Same ideology: billionaires decide what you eat.

Italy chose sovereignty. Your turn?

First ban on our instance: Keeping the Fediverse clean 🛡️

I just issued the first local account ban today. A huge thank you to the users who reported the profile! Your vigilance is what makes this decentralized space work.

The account in question wasn’t sharing actual content, but rather a "word salad" — a suspicious mix of random keywords and gibberish, typical for spam bots or SEO-farming.

Note to fellow Fediverse admins: I’ve added a detailed reason for the suspension in the moderation notes. If this user attempts to migrate or interact with your instances, you should see the "spam/word salad" flag in your federation panels.

Let’s keep the noise out and the signal strong! 📡

Yesterday News: "Trump imposes new 10% global tariff in response to Supreme Court striking down other tariffs"

Today: "Trump hikes global tariffs to 15% from 10%"

[The Good News: Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 is only good for 150 days and it allows a max tariff of 15%. So back to court to see if Taco can justified using it.]

BREAKING: Pakistan launches "Operation Retaliation"—massive airstrikes inside Afghanistan. JF-17 fighters, drones hit TTP camps, Al-Qaeda hubs, ISIS-K cells in Paktika, Khost, Kandahar.

Trigger: Feb 7 mosque bombing in Islamabad traced to Afghan training camps.

Kabul: "Aggression." Taliban air defense on alert.

Risks: civilian deaths (militants use human shields), nuclear state destabilized, 17M Afghans facing famine, US/NATO attention diverted from Ukraine.

Pakistan's proxy strategy backfired. Now bombs speak.

Global energy consumption operates at a terrifying scale. In 2024 the world consumed 186 PWh (Petawatt Hours) of energy. Of which solar only made up a measly 5 PWh.

EDIT: note that this chart shows PRIMARY energy consumption, not USEFUL energy consumption. Fossil fuels waste about 2/3rds of primary energy produced, which is included in this graph.

In one incident in December, engineers at AWS allowed its in-house Kiro “agentic” coding tool to make changes that sparked a 13-hour disruption, according to four sources familiar with the matter. The AI, ill-fatedly, had decided to “delete and recreate the environment,” the sources said.

URGENT: Intelligence suggests high probability of massive Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine tonight.

Multiple launch vectors. Coordinated waves. Objective: overwhelm air defense, hit infrastructure, break civilian will.

Ukrainians: monitor official alerts. Know your shelter. Do not ignore warnings.

Tensions escalate: US now has two carrier strike groups (USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Gerald R. Ford) in the Middle East. Advanced aircraft forward-deployed. F-22s, F-35s, tankers, radar planes already on station.

Trump: failed nuclear talks = serious consequences.
Iran: any direct strike = retaliation.

Two carrier groups = two-fisted strike capacity. The diplomatic window is shrinking. The military window is wide open.
