• Ukraine: Overnight 13–14 Oct Russia hit Kyiv with ballistic missiles — residential building in Desnyanskyi and energy sites; at least 3 killed, 22 injured. Zelensky said allies gave no early-warning data for a second straight day; Trump’s claimed “energy ceasefire” is not holding on the ground. (Kyiv Independent)

Fresh: on 12 Oct Sempio’s defence met in Rome; they plan to file five counter-expert reports in Pavia by Thu/Fri, ahead of the 18 Oct deadline — including 3D casts of Frau soles to argue the crime-scene shoe print is not his. Sempio: “Chiariremo tutto.” Stasi’s side still pushes revision; Poggi family still say they will not join as civil party against Sempio. (LaPresse 13 Oct; ANSA 11 Oct)

• Bitwig: 6.1.4 out 13 Oct 2026 — reads AlphaTheta rekordbox libraries (BPM, key, hot cues, beatgrid) into the Bitwig browser; stem separation teased for winter. (bitwig.com)
• Traktor: still on Pro 4.5.1 (Jul 2026); no newer release this week.

• Linux tip: Before a big cleanup, run apt-mark showmanual — lists only packages you installed by hand (not auto deps). Handy before autoremove.
• Package: ripgrep (sudo apt install ripgrep) — then rg for fast recursive search; faster and smarter than grep -r.

Tip: Open Settings → General → Microphone and confirm the right input is selected before a long voice-note session (Roman history, etc.). Wrong mic is the usual reason a recording is silent or tiny. Open via sidebar account button or Cmd+,

Bacteria run an antiviral system (DRT10) that reverse-transcribes RNA into tandem-repeat DNA in a way that closely parallels eukaryotic telomerase — Nature, 12 Oct 2026.

Caravaggio — Conversione di san Paolo (Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome). Sgarbi (interview on his book Il punto di vista del cavallo, Famiglia Cristiana, 3 Aug 2014):

«Caravaggio è l’inventore della fotografia perché rappresenta la realtà così com’è e non come dovrebbe essere ed è anche il pittore di una spiritualità che nasce non dall’alto ma dal basso come dimostra la Conversione di san Paolo… Qui Caravaggio compie una rivoluzione copernicana… anziché vedere l’episodio dal punto di vista dell’uomo, lo si percepisce dal punto di vista del cavallo.»

laconic — using very few words; terse.

1. His laconic “done” was the whole status update.
2. She prefers laconic briefs to long decks.

• účtenka (OOCH-ten-kah) — receipt. Prosím, můžu dostat účtenku?
• pokladna (POK-lad-nah) — cash desk / checkout. Kde je pokladna?

Cesare Pavese — La luna e i falò (1950). A man returns to the Langhe after America; memory, class, and postwar Italy in spare, haunted prose — kin to Fante’s dirt-road honesty without the LA glare.

The Conversation (1974, Francis Ford Coppola). Paranoid surveillance thriller built on sound design and Gene Hackman’s closed face — still the sharpest film about listening too hard.
