On The Road, by Jack Kerouac. It’s the late 40’s, and you are a young man trying to dig America and its many people and pick up chicks, so you spend a lot of time trying to meet up with your whacked out best friend by hitchhiking and busing repeatedly across the US, but whether you learn anything is debatable. 3 of 5 library cats 🐈 🐈 🐈.

:europe: 🔥 Ok, EU #ENVI ministers agreed their 2040 #climate target. It is far from what science tells us is needed, and the EP position still missing. But what anyhow matters is measures that will be taken to achieve it (ETS/II, LULUCF, ICE, ..). When are we talking about reducing #livestock, when about taxing #kerosine, when about restoring #forests?

**Projektbericht: Upgrade der PV-Anlage auf Victron-System**
Am vergangenen Wochenende wurde die bestehende, Orion-gesteuerte „Rebellen-Solar-Anlage“ erfolgreich auf ein System mit einem **Victron MultiPlus II** umgerüstet.
**1. Standort und Vorbereitung**
Die Installation erfolgte mangels eines (offiziell existierenden) Kellers in der Küche. Besonderes Augenmerk lag auf kurzen Leitungswegen zum Sicherungskasten und den MPPTs sowie einer sauberen Verlegung in Kabelkanälen. Da die kritische IT-Infrastruktur im Haus (Server, „Kuschelmammut“) keine längeren Ausfallzeiten toleriert, wurde die Überbrückungszeit der USVs durch eine zusätzlich bereitgestellte, voll geladene EcoFlow abgesichert.
**2. Hardware-Konfiguration (System „Hardcore-Otaku“)**
Die Komponenten wurden fachgerecht installiert und intern wie folgt benannt:
**Wechselrichter:** Victron MultiPlus II (*„Nadia“*)
**Steuereinheit:** Cerbo GX (*„Sakura“*)
**Laderegler:** 2x MPPT (*„KeroChan“* & *„KeroChan II“*)
**Speicher:** Pylontech C3000 Blöcke (*„Utena“*)
**Zusatzkomponenten:** Lynx Distributor, Phoenix 250 Wechselrichter (*„Hinotori“*) sowie ein 48V/12V-Transformator zur Versorgung der temperaturgesteuerten Schaltschrank-Lüftung.**3. Technische Herausforderungen: Verkabelung und Lastmanagement**
Bei der Montage der Batterien trat ein Kompatibilitätsproblem auf: Die beschafften Rohrkabelschuhe (35–50 mm²) passten nicht zu den benötigten 25 mm²-Anschlüssen. Nach rechnerischer Prüfung der Leitungsquerschnitte (theoretisches Minimum 16 mm²) wurde vorerst mit nur einem25 mm² Kabel verkabelt. Da erste Lasttests bei 4000 W (ca. 85 A Gesamtlaufladung) eine unerwünschte Wärmeentwicklung zeigten, wurde das System softwareseitig wie folgt begrenzt:
**Lade-/Entladelimit:** 2500 W (entspricht ca. 20 A pro Batterieblock). Dies gewährleistet einen thermisch stabilen Betrieb und schont die Pylontech-Zellen.Wir werden auf jedenfall noch ein 2. Kabel an der Batterie anschliessen, wie geplant, um die Leistung bei Bedarf steigern zu können.
**4. Inbetriebnahme und Software-Integration**
Die physische Inbetriebnahme verlief ohne kritische Zwischenfälle („thermonuklearer Notfall“ blieb aus). Folgende Software-Hürden mussten jedoch genommen werden:
**MPPT-Konfiguration:** Der zweite Laderegler erkannte die Systemspannung nicht automatisch. Eine manuelle Umstellung auf 48 V über das Smartdisplay löste das Problem.
**Smart-Meter-Bug:** Der Shelly Pro 3EM lieferte nach der Einbindung in die Venus-OS-Oberfläche (Sakura) fehlerhafte Werte. Nach Analyse der aktuellen Firmware-Version wurde die Standard-Einbindung gelöscht und durch eine alternative Implementierung ersetzt, was die Datenintegrität wiederherstellte.
**5. Fazit und Monitoring**
Nach Abschluss der Hardware-Arbeiten erfolgte am Montag die Einbindung der Daten via **Node-RED** in das bestehende **FHEM-System**. Die Benutzeroberflächen wurden entsprechend aktualisiert.
**Status:** Das System ist vollumfänglich betriebsbereit. Puh.

Stuck in the Filter: January 2025’s Angry Misses
By Kenstrosity
We enter January under the impression that our underpowered filtration system couldn’t possibly get any more clogged up. Those blistering winds that overwhelm the vents with an even greater portion of debris and detritus pose a great challenge and a grave danger to my minions. Crawling through the refuse as more flies in all william-nilliam, my faithful lackeys brave the perils of the job and return, as they always do, with solid chunks of semi-precious ore.
And so I stand before you, my greedy little gremlins, in a freshly pressed flesh suit that only the elite like myself adorn, and present January 2025’s Filter finds. REJOICE!
Kenstrosity’s Fresh(ish) Finds
Bloodcrusher // Voidseeker [January 9th, 2025 – Barf Bag Records]
The sun rises on a new year, and most are angrier than ever. What’s a better way to process that anger than jamming a phat slab of brutal slamming deathcore into your gob, right? Oregon one-man-slammajamma Bloodcrusher understand this, and so sophomore outburst Voidseeker provides the goods. These are tunes meant not for musicality or delicacy but for brute-force face-caving. Ignorant stomps and trunk-rattling slams trade blows with serrated tremolo slides and a dry pong snare with a level of ferocity uncommon even in this unforgiving field (“Agonal Cherubim ft. Jack Christensen”). Feel the blistering heat of choice cuts “Serpents Circle ft. Azerate Nakamura” or “Death Battalion: Blood Company ft. The Gore Corps” and you have no choice but to submit to their immense heft. Prime lifting material, Voidseeker’s most straightforward cuts guarantee shattered PRs and spontaneous combustion of your favorite gym shorts as your musculature explodes in volume (“Slave Cult,” “Sanguis Aeternus,” “Blood Frenzy”). If you ask me, that sounds like a wonderful problem to have. As they pummel your cranium into dust with deadly slam riffs (“Malus et Mortis ft. Ryan Sporer,” “Seeker of the Void,” “Earthcrusher”) or hack and slash your bones with serrated tremolos (“Razors of Anguish,” “Methmouth PSA”), remember that Bloodcrusher is only trying to help.
Skaldr // Saṃsṛ [January 31st, 2025 – Avantgarde Music]
Virginia’s black metal upstarts Skaldr don’t do anything new. If you’ve heard any of black metal’s second wave, or even more melodic fare by some of my favorite meloblack bands like Oubliette, Stormkeep, and Vorga, Skaldr’s material feels like a cozy blanket of fresh snow. Kicking off their second record, Saṃsṛ, in epic fashion, “The Sum of All Loss” evokes a swaying dance that lulls me into its otherwordly arms. As Saṃsṛ progresses through its seven movements, tracks like the gorgeous “Storms Collide” and the lively “The Crossing” strike true every synapse in my brain, flooding my system with a goosebump-inducing fervor quelled solely by the burden of knowing it must end. Indeed, these short 43 minutes leave me ravenous for more, as Skaldr’s lead-focused wiles charm me over and over again without excess repetition of motifs or homogenization of tones and textures (“From Depth to Dark,” “The Cinder, The Flame, The Sun”). Some of its best moments eclipse its weakest, but weak moments are thankfully few and far between. In reality, Skaldr‘s most serious flaw is that they align so closely with their influences, thereby limiting Saṃsṛ‘s potential to stand out. Nonetheless, it represents one of the more engaging and well-realized examples of the style. Hear it!
Subterranean Lava Dragon // The Great Architect [January 23rd, 2025 – Self Release]
Formed from members of Black Crown Initiate and Minarchist, Pennsylvania’s Subterranean Lava Dragon take the successful parts of their pedigree’s progressive death metal history and transplant them into epic, fantastical soundscapes on their debut LP The Great Architect. Despite the riff-focused, off-kilter nature of The Great Architect, there lies a mystical, mythical backbone behind everything Subterranean Lava Dragon do (“The Great Architect,” “Bleed the Throne”). Delicate strums of the guitar, multifaceted percussion, and noodly soloing provide a thoughtful thread behind the heaviest crush of prog-death riffs and rabid roars, a combination that favorably recalls Blind the Huntsmen (“The Silent Kin,” “A Dream of Drowning”). In a tight 42 minutes, Subterranean Lava Dragon approaches progressive metal with a beastly heft and a compelling set of teeth—largely driven by the expert swing and swagger of the bass guitar—that differentiates The Great Architect from the greater pool of current prog. Yet, its pursuit of creative song structure, reminiscent of Obsidious at times, allows textured gradations and nuanced layers to elevate the final product (“A Question of Eris,” “Ov Ritual Matricide”). It is for these reasons that I heartily recommend The Great Architect to anyone who appreciates smart, but still dangerous and deadly, metal.
Thus Spoke’s Likeable Leftovers
Besna // Krásno [January 16th, 2025 – Self Release]
It was the esteemed Doom et Al who first made me aware of Slovakia’s post-black group Besna. 2022’s Zverstvá was charming and moving in equal respects, with its folky vibe amplifying the punch of blackened atmosphere and epicness. With Krásno, the group take things in a sharper, more refined, and still more compelling direction, showing real evolution and improvement. The vague leanings towards the electronic play a larger role (“Zmráka sa,” “Hranice”), but songs also make use of snappier, and stronger emotional surges (“Krásno,” “Mesto spí”), the polished production to the atmospherics counterbalanced sleekly by the rough, ardent screams and pleasingly prominent percussion. Krásno literally translates as ‘beautiful,’ and Besna get away with titling their sophomore so bluntly because it is accurate. Melodies are more sweeping and stirring (“Krásno,” “Oceán prachu,” “Meso spí”), and the integration of the harsh amidst the mellow is executed more affectively (“Hranice,” “Bezhviezdna obloha”) than in the band’s previous work. Particularly potent are Krásno’s subtle nods and reprises of harmonic themes spanning the record (“Krásno,” “Oceán prachu,” “Mesto spí”), recurring like waves in an uplifting way that reminds me of Deadly Carnage’s Through the Void, Above the Suns. Barely scraping past half an hour, the beautiful Krásno can be experienced repeatedly in short succession; which is the very least this little gem deserves.
Tyme’s Ticking Bomb
Trauma Bond // Summer Ends. Some Are Long Gone [January 12, 2025 – Self-Released]
Conceptualized by multi-instrumentalist Tom Mitchell1 and vocalist Eloise Chong-Gargette, London, England’s Trauma Bond plays grindcore with a twist. Formed in 2020 and on the heels of two other EPs—’21’s The Violence of Spring and ’22’s Winter’s Light—January 2025 sees Trauma Bond release its first proper album, Summer Ends. Some Are Long Gone, the third in a seasonally themed quadrilogy. Twisting and reshaping the boundaries of grindcore, not unlike Beaten to Death or Big Chef, Trauma Bond douses its grind with a gravy boat full of sludge. Past the moodily tribal and convincing intro “Brushed by the Storm” lies fourteen minutes of grindy goodness (“Regards,” “Repulsion”), sludgian skullduggery (“Chewing Fat”), and caustic cantankerousness (“Thumb Skin for Dinner”). You’ll feel violated and breathless even before staring down the barrel of nine-and-a-half minute closer “Dissonance,” a gargantuanly heavy ear-fuck that will liquefy what’s left of the organs inside your worthless skin with its slow, creeping sludgeastation. I was not expecting to hear what Trauma Bond served up, as the minimalist cover art drew me in initially, but I’m digging it muchly. Independently released, Summer Ends. Some Are Long Gone is a hell of an experience and should garner Trauma Bond a label partner. I’ll be hoping for that, continuing to support them, and looking forward to whatever autumn brings.
Iceberg’s Bleak Bygones
Barshasketh // Antinomian Asceticsm [January 9th, 2025 – W.T.C Productions]
My taste for black metal runs a narrow, anti-secondwave path. I want oppressive, nightmarish atmosphere, sure, but I also crave rich, modern production and technically proficient instrumental performances. Blending the fury of early Behemoth, the cinematic scope of Deathspell Omega, and the backbeat-supported drones of Panzerfaust, Barshasketh’s latest fell square in my target area. The pealing bells of “Radiant Aperture” beckoned me into Antinomian Asceticsm’s sacred space, a dark world populated with rippling drum fills, surprisingly melodic guitar work, and a varied vocal attack that consistently keeps things fresh. With the average track length in the 6-minute territory, repeat listens are necessary to reveal layers of rhythm and synth atmosphere that give the album its complexity. A throwaway interlude (“Phaneron Engulf”) and a drop in energy in the second and third tracks stop this from being a TYMHM entry, but anyone with a passing interest in technical black metal with lots of atmosphere should check this out.
Deus Sabaoth // Cycle of Death [January 17th, 2025 – Self-Released]
Deus Sabaoth have a lot going for them to catch my attention, beyond that absolutely entrancing cover art. Released under the shadow of war, this debut record from the Ukrainian trio bills itself as “Baroque metal,” another tag that piqued my interest. Simply put, Deus Sabaoth play melodic black metal, but there’s a lot more brewing under the surface. I hear the gothic, unsettled storytelling of The Vision Bleak, the drenching laments of Draconian, and the diligent, dynamic riffing of Mistur. The core metal ensemble of guitar, bass and drums is present, but the trio is augmented by a persistent accompaniment of piano and strings. The piano melodies—often doubled on the guitar—are where the baroque influence shines the greatest, echoing the bouncing, repetitive styling of a toccata (“Mercenary Seer,” “Faceless Warrior”). The vocals are something of an acquired taste, mainly due to their too-far-forward mix, but there’s a vitality and drive to this album that keeps me hooked throughout. And while its svelte 7 song runtime feels more like an EP at times, Cycle of Death shows enough promise from the young band that I’ll keep my eyes peeled in the future.
GardensTale’s Tab of Acid
I Don’t Do Drugs, I Am Drugs // I Don’t Do Drugs, I Am Drugs [January 27th, 2025 – Self-released]
When you name yourself after a famous Salvador Dalí quote, you better be prepared to back it up with an appropriate amount of weird shit. Thankfully, I Don’t Do Drugs, I Am Drugs strives to be worthy of the moniker. The band’s self-titled debut is a psychedelic prog-death nightmare of off-kilter riffs, structures that seem built upon dream logic, layers of ethereal synths and bizarre mixtures of vocal styles. The project was founded by Scott Hogg, guitarist for Cyclops Cataract, who is responsible for everything but the vocals. That includes all the songwriting. Hogg throws the listener off with an ever-shifting array of Gojira-esque plodding syncopation and thick, throbbing layers of harmonics that lean discordant without fully shifting into dissonance. But the songs float as easily into other-worldly soundscapes (“The Tree that Died in it’s[sic] Sleep”) or off-putting balladry (“Confierous”). BP of Madder Mortem handles vocals, and he displays an aptitude for the many facets required to buoy the intriguing but unintuitive music, his shouts and screams and cleans and hushes often layered together in strange strata either more or less than human. The combined result resembles a nightmare Devin may have had around 2005 after listening too much Ephel Duath. It’s not yet perfected; the ballad doesn’t quite work, and the compositions are sometimes a bit too dedicated to their lack of handholds. But it’s a hell of a trip, and a very convincing mission statement. A band to keep an eye on!
Dear Hollow’s Gunk Behooval
Bloodbark // Sacred Sound of Solitude [January 3rd, 2025 – Northern Silence Productions]
Bloodbark’s debut Bonebranches offered atmospheric black metal a minimalist spin, as cold and relentless as Paysage d’Hiver, as textured as Fen, and as barren as the mountains it depicts, exuding a natural crispness that recalls Falls of Rauros. Seven years later, we are graced with its follow-up, the majestic Sacred Sound of Solitude. Like its predecessor, the classic atmoblack template is cut with post-black to create an immensely rich and dynamic tapestry, lending all the hallmarks of frostbitten blackened sound (shrieks, blastbeats, tremolo) with the depth of a more modern approach. Twinkling leads, frosty synths, and forlorn piano survey the frigid vistas, while the more furious blackened portions scale snowbound peaks, utilized with the utmost restraint and bound by yearning chord progressions (“Glacial Respite,” “Griever’s Domain”). A new element in the act’s sound is clean vocals (“Time is Nothing,” “Augury of Snow”), which lend a far more melancholy vibe alongside trademark shrieking. Bloodbark offers top-tier atmospheric black metal, a reminder of the always-looming winter.
Great American Ghost // Tragedy of the Commons [January 31st, 2025 – SharpTone Records]
Boston’s Great American Ghost used to be extremely one-note, a coattail-rider of the likes of Kublai Khan and Knocked Loose. Deathcore muscles whose veins pulse to the beat of a hardcore heart, you’d be forgiven to see opener “Kerosene” as a sign of stagnation – chunky breakdowns and punk beats, feral barks and callouts, and a hardcore frowny face sported throughout. But Tragedy of the Commons is a far more layered affair, with echoes of metalcore past (“Ghost in Flesh,” “Hymns of Decay”), pronounced and tasteful nu-metal influence a la Deftones (“Genocide,” “Reality/Relapse”), and more variety in their rhythms and tempos, reflecting a Fit for an Autopsy-esque cutthroat intensity and ominous crescendos alongside a more pronounced influence of melody and manic dissonance (“Echoes of War,” “Forsaken”). Is it still meatheaded? Absolutely. Are its more “experimental” pieces in just well-trodden paths of metalcore bands past? Oh definitely. But gracing Great American Ghost a voice beyond the hardcore beatdowns does Tragedy of the Commons good and gives this one-trick pony another trail to wander.
Steel Druhm’s Detestible Digestibles
Guts // Nightmare Fuel [January 31st, 2025 – Self-Release]
Finland’s Guts play a weird “caveman on a Zamboni” variant of groove-heavy death metal that mixes OSDM with sludge and stoner elements for something uniquely sticky and pulversizing. On Nightmare Fuel, the material keeps grinding forward at a universal mid-tempo pace powered by phat, crushing grooves. “571” sounds like a Melvins song turned into a death metal assault, and it shouldn’t work, but it very much does. The blueprint for what Guts do is so basic, but they manage to keep cracking skulls on track after track as you remain locked in place helplessly. Nightmare Fuel is a case study into how less can be MOAR, as Guts staunchly adhere to their uncomplicated approach and make it work so well. Each track introduces a rudimentary riff and beats you savagely with it for 3-4 minutes with little variation. Things reset for the next track, and a new riff comes out to pound you into schnitzel all over again. This is the Guts experience, and you will be utterly mulched by massive prime movers like “Mortar” and “Ravenous Leech,” the latter of which sounds like an old Kyuss song refitted with death vocals and unleashed upon mankind. The relentlessly monochromatic riffs are things of minimalist elegance that you need to experience. Nightmare Fuel is a slow-motion ride straight into a brick wall, so brace for a concrete facial.

Avis aux camarades handis!
J'ai une amie à qui la CAF et la CPAM de Loire-Atlantique, pour finaliser son dossier MDPH, exige une demande de pension d'invalidité au préalable (qu'ils assurent qu'elle sera refusée)
Je n'ai JAMAIS entendu parler de ça, et ça ne m'a jamais été demandé personnellement, ou du moins j'en ai pas le souvenir. Est-ce que ça vous dit quelque chose ?
Elle est en détresse car personne ne l'a jamais prévenu et même son de cloche à la CAF et a la CPAM. Ça me semble chelou au possible.Merci !
