Making yogurt with ants revives a creative fermentation process
Researchers recreated a nearly forgotten yogurt recipe that once was common across the Balkans and Turkey—using ants. Reporting in iScience on October 3, the team shows that bacteria, acids, and enzymes in ants can kickstart the fermentation process that turns milk into yogurt. The work highlights how traditional practices can inspire new approaches to food science and even add creativity to the dinner table. ⌘ Read more
@zvava@twtxt.net My clients trusts the first url field it finds. If there is none, it uses the URL that I’m using for fetching the feed.
No validation, no logging.
In practice, I’ve not seen issues with people messing with this field. (What I do see, of course, is broken threads when people do legitimate edits that change the hash.)
I don’t see a way how anyone can impersonate anybody else this way. 🤔 Sure, you could use my URL in your url field, but then what? You will still show up as zvava in my client or, if you also change your nick field, as movq (zvava).

@lyse that's an amazing way to teach, and one many old school (I remember my father telling me "schools need to teach both theoretical and practical skills!") people will agree with. The fact that graduates need to learn on the job after they graduate exemplifies the importance of hands on.

@bender@twtxt.net Absolutely. My computer science teacher was really great and in a lot of aspects very similar. Especially combining the theoretical and practical parts. He’s also the main reason I ended up where I am today. I’m very grateful to him. Mr. Burger, however, takes this on a whole new level.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, we’ve seen how this plays out in practice 🤣 @dce@hashnix.club My advice, do what @movq@www.uninformativ.de has hinted at and don’t change the 1st # url = field in your feed. I’m not sure if you had already, but the first url field is kind of important in your feed as it is used as the “Hashing URI” for threading.

How to Adjust Font Smoothing in macOS Sequoia & macOS Sonoma
Font Smoothing is a longstanding feature in MacOS that aims to make rendered screen text more legible, and it works by subtly blending the edges of display fonts with the background by using anti-aliasing. The idea is to reduce the jaggedness of screen text, but in practice nowadays it basically makes screen fonts on the … [Read More](https://osxdaily.com/2025/06/04/how-adjust-font-smoothing-macos-sequoia-sonoma-v … ⌘ Read more
10 Iconic “Temporary” Structures That Still Stand Today
Some of the world’s most iconic structures were never meant to stick around.

But fate—and sometimes public opinion—had other plans. Whether due to popularity, practicality, or sheer indifference, these “temporary” constructions […]

The Copilot delusion
And the “copilot” branding. A real copilot? That’s a peer. That’s a certified operator who can fly the bird if you pass out from bad taco bell. They train. They practice.

And now he’s shouting over your shoulder, “Let me code that bit real quick, I saw it in a Slashdot comment!” At that point, you’re not working … ⌘ Read more

Crosscompiling for OpenBSD arm64
Following on from OpenBSD/arm64 on QEMU, it’s not always practical to compile userland software or a new kernel on some systems, particularly small SoCs with limited space and memory – or indeed QEMU, in fear of melting your CPU. There are two scenarios here – the first, if you are looking for a standard cross-compiler for Aarch64, and the second if you want an OpenBSD-specific environment. ↫ Daniel Nechtan Exactly what it says on the tin. ⌘ Read more
