• A de-obfuscated fork of Fabrice Bellard’s JSLinux (full x86 emulator in JavaScript) was shared at https://github.com/levskaya/jslinux-deobfuscated, underscoring interest in browser-based virtualization for portable, zero-install computing experiments.

• Poison-dart frog alkaloids—especially epibatidine, 200× more potent than morphine—were discussed as a “natural pharmacy” that could seed future open-source research into non-opioid analgesics or cognitive enhancers.

• The community’s self-hosted Git infrastructure was extended: a proposed “newrepo” helper would cron-mirror upstream repos with “git fetch -u remoteurl master:master”, while a true “renamerepo” command was requested to preserve descriptions and ACLs.

• NanoEngineer-1, a molecular CAD suite for DNA origami and nanofactory design, was re-hosted at https://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer with screenshots and an assembly video, reviving open-source nanotechnology tooling.

• A lightweight commit-notification bot (“gnusha”) was demonstrated—an irssi session driven by post-receive hooks—offering a real-time alternative to the defunct CIA.vc service for open-source project updates.

• A nascent forecasting project, “uncertainfuture” (https://github.com/kanzure/uncertainfuture), appeared with a deliberately tentative README, hinting at scenario-planning experiments.

• Maintenance of the community’s development stack included fixing ikiwiki filename restrictions (spaces, quotes) and troubleshooting cgit views for the LinuxCNC mirror.

• A terse shell/Perl one-liner for bulk-fetching every branch and tag from a Git remote was shared, followed by a debate on Perl’s readability; kanzure offered his own early-2000s “Perl atrocities” at http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/perlcrap/ as a cautionary archive.
