- The #hplusroadmap community migrated the entire DIYbio FAQ from MediaWiki to Git-backed Markdown, then crowdsourced fixes and debated whether the content should be rebuilt from ~22 k public DIYbio mailing-list emails (110 MB maildir archive) to surface the real beginner questions (where to buy Taq, which starter kits, trustworthy eBay/LabX vendors).  
- A low-cost hardware thread spotlighted the $4.99 Stellaris LaunchPad (ARM Cortex-M4) as an entry point for embedded bio-hacking, PartKeepr for open-source lab inventory, and the foldable FoldaRap RepRap as a portable fabrication tool for field biology.  
- DIY transhumanist body-mod experimentation was discussed, including magnetic finger implants and the broader framing of open-source plastic surgery as the next frontier.  
- An extended debate on metabolic optimization compared intermittent-fasting protocols (16/8 compressed feeding, cyclic ketosis, protein fasting) against caloric restriction, with detailed explanations of glucose toxicity, linoleic-acid-driven leptin resistance, and the nuanced role of fructose in liver glycogen repletion versus systemic inflammation.  
- Resources shared for evidence-based supplementation and tracking included leangains.com, silverhydra.com, examine.com, Fitocracy, MyFitnessPal, and kanzure’s own extreme sleep-tracking site (fennetic.net/sleep).  
- Governance friction was noted in the OSI–OSHWA trademark dispute over the open-source hardware logo, with claims that OSHWA ignored a licensing offer from OSI.  
- News items added to the wiki covered Cathal Garvey’s Irish biohacking (Technology Review), Ponoko’s “wiremound PCR,” Singularity University and BioArt Labs coverage, and the TA-65 telomerase-activator lawsuit in which a former employee alleges prostate cancer and retaliatory litigation.
