Air Traffic Controllers - just may be the piece of straw that will break US Gov shut down!

Over 13,000 Air Traffic Controllers are classified as essential employees and currently NOT being paid!

A "slight increase" in sick leave at key FAA facilities that handle high-altitude traffic could cripple the US air travel system by limiting traffic at key airports.

#DoorDash unveiled #Dot, an autonomous #deliveryrobot. Dot, currently being tested in Phoenix, can navigate roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks, delivering up to #30pounds of cargo. While DoorDash emphasises Dot’s potential to #reducetraffic congestion and improve #deliveryefficiency, concerns remain about safety, vandalism, and human delivery workers. https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/30/doordash-unveils-dot-its-autonomous-robot-built-to-deliver-your-food/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

"The department [Department of #Transportation / #DOT] recently sent letters to local governments in at least six states — Alabama, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Mexico — informing them it was withdrawing money awarded under the $1.1 trillion #infrastructure law former President [POTUS 46] signed in 2021.”

We were personally especially sorry to read about #Illinois #Route66 withdrawal, in general vicinity of our birthplace, and where we have many relatives and friends. "McLean County in central Illinois got a similar letter recalling federal funding awarded last year to help design a final 9-mile segment of a #bike and #pedestrian trail along Route 66. County engineer Jerry Stokes said the project wouldn’t affect #MotorVehicle travel but would promote safety by getting #bicyclists and #pedestrians off the road.”

Staphorst dotwork is a unique folk art tradition from the east of the Netherlands, known for its vibrant patterns made with rows of nails fixed in wooden blocks, dipped in paint, and carefully stamped onto fabric.

Originally part of local costume, this colourful technique has been passed down for generations, and today can be found on everything from clothing and accessories to modern designs.

The US Department of Transportation has begun to rescind federal funding for local projects across the country that improve street safety and add pedestrian trails and bike lanes, because they were deemed "hostile" to cars.

US DOT Pulls Grants For Projects That Aren't Focused on #Cars

»While the January notice for the BUILD program did say it would favor projects that "increase accessibility for non-motorized travelers," actions by #USDOT have overtly indicated preferences for projects that serve drivers over other road users.

… US #DOT warned applicants to the Safe Streets and Roads for All program that projects "reducing lane capacity for vehicles ... would be viewed less favorably…"«

Undocumented Radios Found in Solar-Powered Devices

The US Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Department alerted highway agencies and infrastructure firms that "solar-powered highway infrastructure including chargers, roadside weather stations, and traffic cameras should be scanned for the presence of rogue devices — such as hidden radios — secreted inside batteries and inverters

Die weitgehende Abwesenheit der #DigitalHumanities auf dem #DOT2026 wie offenbar jede:r kritischen Digitalität zeigt sich irgendwie ja auch in der völligen Abwesenheit von Diskussionen auf Mastodon oder Bluesky. Hängen die alle noch auf #X rum? Ist der #DOT sogar dafür zu analog? Traurig, nachdem es an der FU letztes Mal immerhin ein eigenes Konferenzsegment dafür gab...

Ich möchte OpenWrt mit Stubby absichern. Leider finde ich im Netz keine passende Dokumentation zu den SPKI-Schlüssel der DoT-Server. Wo bekomme ich diese öffentlichen Schlüssel her?

#eventanouncement:
The #DOT is approaching! The FID will be present throughout the entire period with a booth in the university library building at Schuhstraße 1. Come by & exchange ideas with us.
We would also like to cordially invite you to attend the presentations by Dr. J. Jeschke.

She went out to the backyard one cool winter evening to enjoy some fresh air and toss a ball for her dog. Suddenly she noticed a little flicker of light. "A firefly? Here? No way!" Then she noticed several more that moved in unison as she turned her head back and forth. "WHAT the HECK is going on with my eyes!" As she ran inside toward the bathroom to check in the mirror the flickers dissapeared and were replaced with not one black #dot but a field of dozens of them!

This is unacceptable. Burn it to the ground

This cool trick (some would call it "dirty hack" ) by @plantarum can be used for #dot/#graphviz, as well:

(defun my-babel-execute-maybe ()
(interactive)
(org-mode)
(org-babel-execute-maybe)
(org-display-inline-images)
(normal-mode))

E.g. imagine this comment or doc string:

/*
#+BEGIN_SRC dot :file myfunction.svg :cmdline -Kdot -Tsvg
digraph {
a -> b;
}
#+END_SRC
*/

Haben die #DoT #DNS Server von #FFMUC gerade bzw. seit einigen Tagen Probleme?
