Nights are 72F/22C so it cools a bit but not quite enough to undo all the day’s heating (speaking personally)

I’m not familiar with Pikapods but Monica v4 has trouble with notifications. First you need to ensure it’s been configured right to even send a test email, this can be triggered with a command if you have access:

php artisan monica:test-email

Various Monica environment variables must be set to configure this, it should be in the docs somewhere if not I can fish my config out for you.

Even once that’s working you’ll need Monica to run its regular jobs for sending notifications, there’s config for that too. Finally the code has bugs and will often miss reminders in my experience. There are some open bugs still on this and I guess the devs have moved onto their rewritten version (chandler):

We plan to use the same model for a social media ban as Australia. Their model included platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook and X.

BBC News - How does Australia’s under-16 social media ban work? - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyp9d3ddqyo?app-referrer=deep-link

Ten platforms are currently included: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit and streaming platforms Kick and Twitch.

The government assesses potential sites against three main criteria:

• whether the platform’s sole or “significant purpose” is to enable online social interaction between two or more users;

• whether it allows users to interact with some or all other users; and

• whether it allows users to post material

Hmm. So affects the big platforms for now, but no guarantees it won’t extend in future to the fediverse if children were to move there. More likely people will work around the age-gating if they can. I wonder how this is looking in Australia?

We’re also making it possible to add alt text for profile pictures and headers now, making your profile more accessible for blind and visually impaired users.

That’s good!

Keepass plus the file sync/cloud of your choice means you can access everywhere, it doesn’t limit you.

According to the research team, this unique formation directly influences the movement of Antarctica’s massive sheet of ice. The network of hidden geological features determines where the glaciers overlaying it will flow, which makes studying it crucial for predicting how climate change will change the southern ice cap.

Interesting

The crux of this seems to be

The first of these patterns was characterized by a reduced communication between brain regions (i.e., hypoconnectivity), while the other entailed an increased communication between brain regions (i.e., hyperconnectivity).

“Importantly, these patterns did not simply entail ‘more’ or ‘less’ connectivity everywhere, but organized brain-wide patterns that could be linked to distinct biology,” said Gozzi.

…

The team’s observations could improve the neuroscientific understanding of autism. If they are validated in further studies, they could eventually also inform the development of new support tools and practices that account for differences between individual patients.

“Two individuals may both receive an autism diagnosis, and may even show overlapping behavioral features, but the brain and molecular mechanisms contributing to their condition could be quite different,” said Gozzi.

"That distinction matters if we want to move toward more precise and personalized interventions. I would emphasize that this is not yet a clinical diagnostic tool. However, it provides a framework for future precision psychiatry in autism.

F-droid themselves gave an update in April:

If you’ve been holding off updating Syncthing-Fork we have two pieces of news for you. First, the original dev continues to collaborate still, we know this was a pain point back then. Second, we’ve just added BasicSync, A simple app for running Syncthing, which just controls Syncthing’s running behaviour as hands off as possible, while the original service hums in the background.

So it seems since the handover things have settled but there is also a new fork which takes a more bare-bones approach.

Have you tried stomach massage? It can help. If he’s spending time sitting on the toilet anyway maybe try a massage instead. Might also help diffuse any mental anxiety/pressure about toileting by adding something new. Could take time and effort to have an effect so approach with patience.

Also I assume your paediatrician has mentioned the usual things that can help: hydration, walking, fiber. Small changes can add up.

First time I’ve heard of that, this video seems to back it up:

Depending on the fan 50cm or more from the window is about right for max flow

Thanks for that info. I did some more digging but could find no definitive statement that Disconnect the extension is completely redundant in FF. In fact with FF’s ‘enhanced tracking protection’ on I can see that the Disconnect extension STILL reports it is blocking domains that presumably FF has missed. The mystery continues.

This is a more recent view:

Speaking to MPs, science minister Patrick Vallance said that the government’s deals with Palantir – which has large contracts with the NHS and the Ministry of Defence – would be done differently in the future, instead emphasizing investment in UK technology and companies.

Frankenstein seconded, more than you might expect from the film versions.

Hello

Somebody developed a Home Assistant integration for monitoring and managing sourdough starters

I think he would agree with you that many don’t have good choices

He said the food available on high streets in places like Wigan or Blackpool was “completely different” to equivalent towns in France and it was not the fault of people living there when presented with “wall to wall” junk food.
