Discovering other worlds

Astronomers discover previously unknown quasi-moon near Earth | CNN

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/16/science/earth-quasi-moon-2025-pn7

Astronomers have spotted a quasi-moon near Earth — and the small space rock has likely been hanging out near our planet unseen by telescopes for about 60 years, according to new research.

The newly discovered celestial object, named 2025 PN7, is a type of near-Earth asteroid that orbits the sun but sticks close to our planet. Like our world, 2025 PN7 takes one year to complete an orbit around the sun.

Zero Knowledge Proof Of Outstanding Reserves

https://github.com/AbdelStark/zkpoor

zkpoor enables companies to prove their Bitcoin holdings cryptographically without revealing addresses or UTXOs, using STARK proofs.

Built on top of the Bitcoin Treasury foundation, zkpoor extends the original dashboard with zero-knowledge proof generation and verification capabilities.

🎯 Problem & Solution

Problem: Companies like MicroStrategy claim large BTC holdings but won't publish addresses due to security concerns. Current "proof of reserves" relies on voluntary claims without cryptographic verification.

Solution: zkpoor provides cryptographic proof of BTC reserves without revealing individual addresses or UTXOs, strengthening Bitcoin's culture of verifiable trust.

🏗️ Architecture

This is a unified web application with two main components:

Enhanced Public Dashboard - Original Bitcoin Treasury features plus "Verify with STARK" cryptographic verification

Treasury Manager Portal - Protected interface for inputting UTXOs and generating proofs

🚀 Development Phases

Phase 1: UI/UX implementation with mocked proof generation and verification

Phase 2: Backend integration with actual STARK proof generation

Phase 3: Cairo program implementation for cryptographic proofs

Multi-Kernel Architecture Proposed For The Linux Kernel

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Multi-Kernel-Patches

ode was open-sourced this week and posted to the Linux kernel mailing list as a "request for comments" (RFC) for a multi-kernel architecture. This proposal could allow for multiple independent kernel instances to co-exist on a single physical machine. Each kernel could run on dedicated CPU Cores while sharing underlying hardware resources. This could also allow for some complex use-cases such as real-time (RT) kernels running on select CPU cores.

COMMODORE 64 ULTIMATE

https://www.commodore.net/

Honouring the past. Innovating the future.

Without the distractions that stole it.

Commodore has returned from a parallel timeline where tech stayed optimistic, inviting, and human. Where it served us, not enslaved us. We’re here to bring that feeling back - retro • futurism, transparent tech, digital detox, real innovation.

​​

This is the first real Commodore computer in over 30 years, and it's picked up a few new tricks.

Not an emulator. Not a PC. Retrogaming heaven in three dimensions: silicon, nostalgia, and light. Powered by a FPGA recreation of the original motherboard, wrapped in glowing game-reactive LEDs (or classic beige of course).

Compatible with 10,000+ original retro games, cartridges, peripherals + more RAM & 48Mhz Turbo boost!

Colour-changing case and keyboard with LEDs that respond to 2 real or 8 replicated onboard SID sound chips

Wi-Fi game transfer & USB "cassette" bursting with classic & new games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj6P77W8DJg

Watch our first TV ad in over 30 years

Plus: World's first transparent keyboard circuit board to let the tech speak for itself

1982 + 2025 creator autographs etched forever into the mainboard copper

Spiral-bound manual, glossy classic box, and more

Whether you grew up with a Commodore or never heard of one, this is for you.

A simpler, distraction-free computing experience. A chance to learn how computers really work. A fun, inviting way to introduce your kids to BASIC coding. And for the kid still within.

C64U isn’t tech that controls you. It invites you...

READY.

For part two

Geyser | Bitcoin Crowdfunding Platform

https://geyser.fund/project/garbageman

Garbageman protects the bitcoin network from DoS attacks that can result from Libre Relay nodes relaying non-payment transactions, usually altcoin Ponzis.

Specifically, Garbageman is a node with a sane, more restrictive default policy that pretends to be a Libre Relay node in order to subvert LR's preferential peering mechanism, a custom feature LR uses in order to facilitate the spread of data spam on the bitcoin network.

Since data transactions are known for causing utxoset bloat and fee spikes, and since they compete with legitimate payment use cases, Libre Relay's preferential peering mechanism is a malicious exploit that makes bitcoin worse money, and in the worst case, prevents bitcoin from fulfilling its goal of becoming the world's dominant medium of exchange, perhaps permanently.

Since no one can stop LR nodes from peering with each other in this manner, the only defense is to beat them at their own game, which should be straightforward assuming there are many more GM nodes than LR nodes.

LocalTube Manager

https://localtubemanager.pages.dev/#install-now

LocalTube Manger is now free to use, a browser extension to use YouTube without Google. There's no need to buy a License Key anymore.

For those who don't know about my browser extension, you can check out my last post here or below is a quick overview.

A few months back I created a browser extension LocalTube Manager that lets you,

Like & Subscribe - Like your favorite videos and Subscribe to a channel as usual.

YouTube Playlists - Save a YouTube playlist to watch later, no sign-in required.

Local Playlists - Create your own Local Playlist and organize your favorite videos.

Import / Export - Export all your data and Import them to pick up where you left off.

All Without needing a Google account. All data saved locally in browser.

Previously it was a one-time purchase with license key, but some people wanted to pay via PayPal and other methods, but managing all that payment flow became a bit messy.

So instead of complicating things, made it completely free for everyone.

Mining: Hut 8 announces 1.5 GW expansion in the US

https://atlas21.com/mining-hut-8-announces-1-5-gw-expansion-in-the-us/

On August 26, bitcoin mining company Hut 8 unveiled its expansion plans with four new sites in the United States, adding a capacity of 1.5 gigawatts.

The announced expansion touches U.S. states with diverse regulatory approaches:

Texas: bitcoin mining facilities over 75 megawatts must register with the Texas Public Utility Commission;

Louisiana: in June 2024, it approved favorable legislation for bitcoin miners in industrial areas, aiming to stimulate the local economy by attracting new businesses in the sector;

Illinois: despite the absence of specific regulations for mining, the state has seen several dedicated facilities emerge in locations such as Bloomington-Normal and Effingham.

Two sites in Texas connected to the ERCOT grid will contribute 1,180 MW. Louisiana’s site, connected to MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator), will add 300 MW, while Illinois will see a 50 MW project linked to PJM (Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection).

MCP server enabling AI to instantly pay humans sats to solve visual roadblocks

https://github.com/dtdannen/unstuck-ai

MCP server enabling AI agents to instantly pay humans sats (Bitcoin) to solve visual roadblocks (captchas, web navigation, computer use) via a Nostr marketplace. Includes the MCP server and web app for humans to bid on tasks, complete them, and get paid.

----------------------------------------

Dustin / Dustin Dannenhauer would like to use some of the prize money from our Presidio Bitcoin Hackathon win (2nd place) to get some extra help on our UnstuckAI project - an AI tool that pays humans sats for help.

If you're interested in contributing, check out our GitHub repo:

https://github.com/dtdannen/unstuck-ai

The README has a list of features we think are needed to make it a usable app (it's close!). To help out:

1️⃣ Pick a feature you'd like to tackle

2️⃣ Tell me how many sats you'd want for it, and why you believe you can accomplish the work (you can DM me on Nostr or email at dustin@dvmdash.live). Just looking for a brief note (1-2 sentences)

3️⃣ If it's a fit, you'll get half the sats upfront and half when you submit your PR (the PR should include a short video walkthrough showing the feature working)

We could especially use help making the frontend Nostr client smoother!

No feature is too small!

This is my first time organizing an open contribution like this, so I welcome your suggestions! Feel free to propose new features or improvements we haven't thought of yet.

Let's build something that makes Nostr the coolest ecosystem ever #Bitcoin #AI #OpenSource #BuildWithSats

Controlling the pH of the soil is important for the health and growth of plants.

Here are some natural ways to adjust the pH level of the soil:

-Add organic matter: Incorporating organic matter such as compost, manure, or leaf mold into the soil can help lower the pH level naturally. This is because these materials contain acidic components that can help to balance the pH level.

-Use coffee grounds: Coffee grounds are acidic and can help to lower the pH level of the soil. Simply sprinkle them around the base of your plants.

-Use vinegar: White vinegar can be used to lower the pH level of the soil. Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with one gallon of water and water your plants with this solution.

-Use sulfur: Sulfur is a natural pH adjuster and can be added to the soil in powdered form. Sprinkle a small amount of sulfur around the base of your plants and work it into the soil.

-Use pine needles: Pine needles are acidic and can be used to lower the -pH level of the soil. Simply spread a layer of pine needles around the base of your plants.
