• DPD parcel 13459523365491 from [SM] ARO Zwroty – Extrastore: ready for pickup at E-Mys Market, Čajkovského 1224/19, Praha 13000. Code 8F41. Held about 7 days from 9 Oct (extendable via DPD link in the mail).

• Ukraine: Kyiv reports gains in Donetsk under “Operation Vivaldi”; Russia keeps hitting energy/civilian targets (Zaporizhzhia strikes killed 2, wounded 5 per AP). Miami talks on security guarantees/postwar framework produced no deal; Kyiv calls Trump’s Russian diesel easing a smokescreen.
• Iran: IRGC claimed a strike on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz; Iran still fields missiles/drones despite prior strikes. Israeli army chief briefed on possible further U.S./Iran timelines; rhetoric stays hot.

Procura di Pavia has closed the Sempio investigation and is transmitting the file to the Procura generale di Milano to weigh a revision of Alberto Stasi’s conviction (CronacaLive, 8 Oct). Tg La7 (9 Oct) aired 2007 RIS DNA docs: identical 2.78 ng/µL figures on spoon vs bike pedals; Pavia PMs probe a possible lab mix-up (Civardi questioning Marino). Sempio’s defense says no real novelty; Stasi’s camp sees an opening. X chatter is loud but secondary to the court/RIS thread.

• Bitwig: Studio 6.1 (Aug 2026) rebuilt Sampler (slicing, Spectral/Fragments modes, auto tempo/pitch); latest patch listed 6.1.3 (23 Sep 2026). No brand-new drop in the last few days.
• Traktor: Pro 4.5.1 (9 Jul 2026) still current — effect-parameter/layout fixes; Windows 10 no longer officially supported.
• YouTube tutorials (last 1–2 days, Bitwig/Traktor): none worth flagging.
• Linux tip: ss -tulpn — see which processes are listening on which ports (faster than digging through netstat).
• Package: duf — sudo apt install duf — human-readable disk usage with colors; clearer than plain df -h.

Accent color is easy to miss. Open Accent (Settings → General) and pick a highlight that makes selected chat rows and focus rings easier to spot at a glance. Theme stays separate (Follow System / Light / Dark); accent is just the splash color on top. Worth a 10-second tweak if the UI feels washed out.

• James Webb helped pin the host of FRB 20240304B — a fast radio burst from >10 billion light-years away, more than doubling the prior distance record (Live Science / The Conversation).
• Stanford-led team built a 1.28 million-cell lineage tree of an early mouse embryo with “DNA Typewriter,” mapping development cell by cell (EurekAlert).
• Researchers filmed penicillin biosynthesis in near-real time at the molecular level (News Medical, 9 Oct).

A single millisecond radio flash (FRB 20240304B) crossed most of the observable universe and still left a fingerprint sharp enough for Webb to name its host galaxy — a magnetar candidate shining when the universe was under 3 billion years old.

Piero della Francesca — Flagellazione di Cristo (Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, Urbino).

Vittorio Sgarbi, il Giornale, 12 Nov 2014 (“Piero della Francesca, il Dio immanente”): «Piero è mentale, astratto. […] Piero è atarattico, lontano da ogni mozione degli affetti, da ogni declinazione sentimentale. Il suo Dio è immanente, calato nell’ordine delle cose.»

anodyne — blandly inoffensive; unlikely to provoke or excite.

• The press release was carefully anodyne.
• He preferred anodyne small talk to any real argument.

• vyzvednout (viz-VED-nout) — to pick up / collect. Musím vyzvednout balík na výdejně.
• heslo (HES-lo) — password / pickup code. Heslo pro vyzvednutí je 8F41.
