GIÙ LE MANI DALLA CITTÀ - corteo nazionale
Sabato 6 settembre, dalle 14:00, presso Porta Venezia, Porta Venezia, Milano
GIÙ LE MANI DALLA CITTÀ - corteo nazionale
In difesa degli spazi pubblici e sociali autogestiti, contro la gentrificazione, per il diritto all’abitare, contro la speculazione edilizia, il saccheggio delle olimpiadi Milano Cortina e i padroni delle città!
Vogliamo costruire un grande corteo il 6 Settembre per un’altra Milano e per tutte le città sempre più segnate da zone rosse, limitazioni, biglietti di ingresso, selezioni obbligate.
Lo sgombero del Leoncavallo è una evidente conseguenza delle trasformazioni avvenute a Milano a partire dal piano urbanistico. Modello che si vorrebbe estendere altrove. Ma è anche vendetta del potere contro chi prova a resistere.
La mano del governo è calata sul vecchio Leo, nel 50esimo anno della sua storia, per avviare la campagna elettorale della destra, a trazione Fratelli d'Italia, verso le prossime elezioni comunali. È una legalità fatta di odio verso chi è stranier@ e/o espuls@, pover@ una legalità che porta all’isolamento sociale chi vive disabilità e fragilità psicologiche.
Che giustifica la violenza fino alla tortura e al genocidio.Gli spazi sociali, culturali, artistici, autogestiti o no, occupati o dell’associazionismo, sono l'antitesi del fascismo di governo, così come il conflitto sociale, che vede nell'occupazione uno strumento di livellamento delle sempre più crescenti differenze sociali, un fondamento del dibattito democratico di un paese e delle città.
Noi abbiamo un’altra idea di città e di mondo che da cinquant’anni a oggi è cambiata e si è fatta anche transfemminista, intersezionale, antiabilista, una città a tutela delle agricolture contadine e dei loro territori aggrediti, per l’accesso al cibo come nutrimento culturale.
La manifestazione attraversa le date del festival antirazzista Abba Vive dal 5 al 7 Settembre al Parco Sempione. Un evento che rappresenta la memoria viva delle nuove generazioni antirazziste e decoloniali che sono il futuro di Milano.
Costruiamo un corteo che tenga insieme generazioni diverse ed esperienze politiche differenti.
La città orizzontale contro il verticalismo del potere.Martedì 2 Settembre Assemblea Cittadina - ore 20:30 Camera del Lavoro di Milano

oggi, 19 settembre, a milano: “le gioconde di patella”, incontro con giuseppe garrera al ferrobedò
Gioconda con la mosca al naso (particolare) 1985 Museo Ideale Leonardo da Vinci, Vinci (FI)
Oggi, venerdì 19 settembre 2025, alle ore 18:30
@ Ferrobedò / via Moscova 40, MilanoLe Gioconde di Patella
a cura di Giuseppe Garrera
In mostra, a Ferrobedò, le innumerevoli Gioconde (santini, cartoline, souvenir, locandine, ritagli da giornali) rinvenute dappertutto sulle pareti e nel riordinare i cassetti di quella che fu l’ultima abitazione di Luca Maria Patella a via Reggio Emilia a Roma. Attestazioni di una magnifica ossessione e di un culto privato, ma anche indagine ininterrotta di Patella sulle ragioni, le ragioni d’ombra, di tale fissazione.
Le tante Gioconde di Patella sono infatti capitoli e pezzi di un puzzle disperso per la decriptazione di una presenza e di un sogno. Accanto alle operazioni artistiche ufficiali di Patella sulla Gioconda (Gioconda con la mosca sul naso o Gioconda in fronte), e alla partecipazione ad importanti esposizioni sul tema (ricorderei qui almeno la grande mostra giapponese itinerante del 2000 Les 100 sourires de monna Lisa a cura di Jean-Michel Ribettes con tappe a Tokio, Shizuoka e Hiroshima) a illuminare l’oscurità ci sono anche queste intimità personali e apotropaiche. Intanto si parte sempre da Duchamp e sempre si torna a Duchamp. C’è, ad esempio, un ritaglio dell’orinatoio – Fontana – di Duchamp che Patella conservava gelosamente nel cassetto del suo comodino: scontornato, ridotto a sagoma, sovrapposto alla Gioconda, l’orinatoio rivela, in maniera fulminante, essere l’ombra della Gioconda. È solo l’inizio di un viaggio che ci porterà alla scoperta di Gioconde purgative e per la diarrea, di Gioconde con la mosca al naso, o sedute su sedie “comode” per defecare, o per minzioni attese dai suoi ammiratori a bocca aperta; o ancora Gioconde scomparse (le immaginette devozionali, le riproduzioni kitsch sono in realtà sempre segnali di tale terrore), fuggite di casa, perché “siamo stati cattivi”; o ancora, sorridenti dopo essersi arrabbiate o che ritornano a sorriderci ma con pizzo e baffi in faccia o ammiccanti e che si denudano il petto davanti a noi.
La collezione di Gioconde di Patella si rivela una delle ricerche, e uno dei repertori di conforto, più perturbanti e intimi intorno ad un’immagine e all’inseguimento di una apparizione.

#Whisper large v3 und #LLM läuft auf einem Jetson Orin AGX. Allerdings bin ich mit der Geschwindigkeit von #ollama noch nicht zufrieden. Ich muss mal #vllm oder #tensorRT-llm testen. Kann aber auch am Modell #gpt-oss:20b liegen, wobei das zumindest uneindeutige Anfragen gut interpretiert. Aber alles über 10 Sekunden Wartezeit ist zu lang.

Tips for using the Makeblock mBot 2 / mBot Neo under Linux
https://blog.sengotta.net/tips-for-using-the-makeblock-mbot-2-mbot-neo-under-linux/
Couple of weeks ago i purchased the Makeblock mBot 2 to get into Robot tinkering with the kids. Since Lego left the market with its Mind Storms sets there arent many good alternatives on the market. There are some kits like this, but things like the Ozobot are quite expensive for what you get, on the other end of the scale there are cheap robot car kits from China, which feature an arduino clone where you have to program everything from scratch. Not really beginner friendly
Compared to this the mBot 2 is really nice. You can set it up in a couple of minutes with the kids and you have the choice to program it graphical with a blockly style IDE like or in Python. The IDE is web based so it should work on most devices.
But my children have Linux Desktops and that wasnt as straight forwarded as expected. Because i didnt find many ressources on this topic i thought i share my experience, so other people dont have to search that much.
In the end there are two ways to connect to the mBot 2 or better to say to the Makeblock Cyberpi which is the ESP32 based brain of the robot, via USB Serial over USB-C or via bluetooth. We will also have a look at two IDE’s the Makeblock mBlock 5 and the Open Roberta Lab by the Frauenhofer Institut which you can also host yourself.
BotheIDE’s are in the end based on Blocky if i understood that correctly.
Enable USB Serial on Linux for non root users
One thing you really want to do is to enable non root users on linux to use Serial Port connections. It gave me quite a headache to understand why for example the Open Roberta Connector works on my laptop but not on the Desktop of my daughter. It was espcially confusing that there was a connection but i was not able to upload any stuff. Normally it should be sufficient to add her user to group dialout or uucp but that wasnt the case. Because after that the file permissions are still not correct for ttyUSB0. Instead of fiddling around i took the „nuclear“ approach. I use Platformio on my laptop and that project gives me a nice udev ruleset which solves that problem for all kinds of USB-Serial converters incl the one used in the mBot 2. So had over to them and simply use that, one problem solved: https://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/core/installation/udev-rules.html
Makeblock mBlock 5
The Makeblock mBlock 5 IDE is the standard IDE for the mBot 2 which makes use of all its features. Afaik it is not self hostable any more. Makeblock tend to share their sourcecode on Github which is not the case anymore. Nevertheless if you want to get the most out of mBot 2 (with block style programming) thats the way to go. You find that ide under https://ide.mblock.cc
Yep it is a China based program but you know from the start what you bought
Do yourself a favour: use this IDE with a Webserial enabled Browser. So afaik Firefox is a no-go, you should use Chromium or a browser based on that, than you have no problem.
In that IDE you could also use Bluetooth, which is quite cool in live mode, in fact you could remote control your mBot 2 over this. To use this you either have to enable Web Bluetooth support or the Experimental Web Platform Features, both you can find if the call chrome://flags from the address bar.
Open Roberta Lab
The Open Roberta Lab is a web based block style IDE for different Robots and micro controller boards made by the Frauenhofer IAIS. It is also based on blockly. The approach here is a bit different because they dont rely on webserial. That means you can also use Firefox on the other hand you have to install the Open Roberta Connector which is a small Java program. That means you have to install Java on your System. I tried it with OpenJDK 17 and 25 which both worked. Just grab the tarball from Github, unzip and use the install script from the tarball or go into the folder an launch the Program manually: java -jar -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 OpenRobertaConnector.jar
Form here it ist quite straight forwarded like in the wiki entry: https://jira.iais.fraunhofer.de/wiki/spaces/ORInfo/pages/252155447/Set+up+mBot+2?showLanguage=en_GB
If you cant upload programs than restart the program using sudo, if it works then, that means you have a permission problem with the USB Serial port.
Compared to mBlock 5 Open Roberta Lab is quite limited, which must not be bad for first experiments.
I hope that post is a little help to someone. Because the holidays will begin shortly i will now start to experiment with the robot with my kids. Lets see what we can do with it.

Because after that the file permissions are still not correct for ttyUSB0. Instead of fiddling around i took the „nuclear“ approach. I use Platformio on my laptop and that project gives me a nice udev ruleset which solves that problem for all kinds of USB-Serial converters incl the one used in the mBot 2. So had over to them and simply use that, one problem solved: https://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/core/installation/udev-rules.html
Makeblock mBlock 5
The Makeblock mBlock 5 IDE is the standard IDE for the mBot 2 which makes use of all its features. Afaik it is not self hostable any more. Makeblock tend to share their sourcecode on Github which is not the case anymore. Nevertheless if you want to get the most out of mBot 2 (with block style programming) thats the way to go. You find that ide under https://ide.mblock.cc
Yep it is a China based program but you know from the start what you bought
Do yourself a favour: use this IDE with a Webserial enabled Browser. So afaik Firefox is a no-go, you should use Chromium or a browser based on that, than you have no problem.
In that IDE you could also use Bluetooth, which is quite cool in live mode, in fact you could remote control your mBot 2 over this. To use this you either have to enable Web Bluetooth support or the Experimental Web Platform Features, both you can find if the call chrome://flags from the address bar.
Open Roberta Lab
The Open Roberta Lab is a web based block style IDE for different Robots and micro controller boards made by the Frauenhofer IAIS. It is also based on blockly. The approach here is a bit different because they dont rely on webserial. That means you can also use Firefox on the other hand you have to install the Open Roberta Connector which is a small Java program. That means you have to install Java on your System. I tried it with OpenJDK 17 and 25 which both worked. Just grab the tarball from Github, unzip and use the install script from the tarball or go into the folder an launch the Program manually: java -jar -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 OpenRobertaConnector.jar
Form here it ist quite straight forwarded like in the wiki entry: https://jira.iais.fraunhofer.de/wiki/spaces/ORInfo/pages/252155447/Set+up+mBot+2?showLanguage=en_GB
If you cant upload programs than restart the program using sudo, if it works then, that means you have a permission problem with the USB Serial port.
Compared to mBlock 5 Open Roberta Lab is quite limited, which must not be bad for first experiments.
I hope that post is a little help to someone. Because the holidays will begin shortly i will now start to experiment with the robot with my kids. Lets see what we can do with it.
