What builds trust in the fight against online scams? Results. When platforms, law enforcement and partners share intelligence, take down scam centres and bring criminals to justice, action creates a positive snowball effect.

And that is today's God Eater 2 stream done. Only managed to clear three story missions today, but those three story missions were enough to confirm pretty much all of my suspicions regarding Friar, the Black Plague patients, and Dr. Rachel. Yay? :blobcatSweats:
Story missions remaining: 12 (-3)
As always, I hope everyone enjoyed today's stream. Thank you all for joining :blobcatHeart:
👮♂️ Jugendstrafvollzug im Wandel: "Ich habe Grund zum Optimismus", sagt Professor Cornel
Angeblich sollen Jugendliche im Gefängnis lernen, künftig ohne Straftaten zu leben. Doch wie soll das funktionieren, wenn ihnen die Freiheit genommen wird, selbst über ihr Leben zu entscheiden? Welche Rolle spielen soziale Herkunft, Ausgrenzung und fehlende Perspektiven dabei, wer überhaupt im Gefängnis landet?
Darüber sprach ich für @RDL mit Prof. Dr. Heinz Cornel, der sich seit Jahrzehnten wissenschaftlich mit dem Jugendstrafvollzug beschäftigt.
Anlass ist die Veranstaltung „Gefängnis im Wandel“ am 10. November in der @katholischeakademie , welche im Rahmen der bundesweiten Aktionstage Gefängnis, stattfinden wird.

Feministische KI Vortrag und Gespräch mit Autorin Eva Gengler
Haus der Bildung / VHS Raum 1.11, Montag, 9. November um 18:00 MEZ
In Kooperation mit dem Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies (BCDSS) und der Gleichstellungsstelle der Stadt Bonn.
In einer Welt, die zunehmend von Künstlicher Intelligenz geprägten ist, offenbart sich eine unbequeme Wahrheit: Frauen, People of Color und andere marginalisierte Gruppen werden häufig benachteiligt, weil KI in einem System entsteht, das von kapitalistischen Interessen, patriarchalen Strukturen und kolonialen Praktiken geprägt ist.
Die Wirtschaftsinformatikerin Dr. Eva Gengler forscht intersektional-feministisch an der Schnittstelle von Macht und Künstlicher Intelligenz und engagiert sich für eine gerechte und verantwortliche Technologiegestaltung. Sie erklärt, wie eine alternative und feministische KI gestaltet und eingesetzt werden kann, um Ungerechtigkeiten aufzuheben.
***
Panel:
Dr. Eva Gengler will be joined by ethicist Dr. Eva Maria Hille and senior data scientist Rebekka Görge, with whom she will be discussing power, inequality, and responsibility in the development and use of AI.
The event will be moderated by Jeannine Bischoff (BCDSS) and is part of the BCDSS reading and discussion series (UN)ABHÄNGIGE ANSICHTEN. Audience members are warmly invited to join the discussion, ask questions and share their perspectives.
Schedule:
18:00 -19:30 Reading and Discussion (panel and public)
19:30- 20:30 Reception / Informal talks with drinks and snacks
Everyone is warmly invited to join us for drinks and snacks at 19:30 in the foyer and continue the conversation in an informal setting!

🤖 Immer häufiger vertrauen junge Menschen KI-Chatbots ihre Sorgen, Ängste und persönlichen Probleme an. Doch können digitale Gesprächspartner bei psychischen Belastungen tatsächlich helfen? Und wo entstehen Risiken, die Schulen und Beratungsstellen kennen sollten?
🧠 Der Fachtag „KI und Mental Health: Chatbots als Therapieersatz?!“ des ZSL und seines medizinisch-psychologischen Beirats beleuchtet die Chancen und Grenzen KI-gestützter Angebote für die psychische Gesundheit. Gemeinsam mit Fachleuten diskutieren Sie, was diese Entwicklung für Schule, Beratung und Prävention bedeutet.
📱 KI-Chatbots sind jederzeit verfügbar und leicht zugänglich. Sie können erste Orientierung bieten, aber professionelle Beratung oder Therapie nicht ohne Weiteres ersetzen. Welche Möglichkeiten bieten solche Anwendungen, wo liegen ihre Grenzen und welche Gefahren können insbesondere für Kinder und Jugendliche entstehen?
🔬 Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse liefern die Grundlage für die Diskussion: Dr. Andrea Hahnefeld vom kbo-Kinderzentrum München und der Technischen Universität München erläutert, wie sich Bildschirmexposition auf die kindliche Entwicklung auswirkt. Olivia Krokos, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Lehrstuhl für Schulpsychologie der Universität Tübingen, untersucht die Frage, inwieweit Chatbots als Therapieersatz oder Ergänzung geeignet sind.
💬 In moderierten Gesprächsrunden tauschen Sie sich zunächst mit Personen aus Ihrem beruflichen Umfeld und anschließend berufsgruppenübergreifend aus. So können Sie unterschiedliche Perspektiven kennenlernen und gemeinsam Ansätze für einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit KI-Chatbots im schulischen Kontext entwickeln.
👥 Für Schulpsychologinnen und Schulpsychologen, Präventionsbeauftragte, Lehrkräfte, Beratungslehrkräfte sowie Schüler- und Elternvertretungen.

Pasting rough meeting notes into ChatGPT with "summarize this" usually gets you something that reads well and is hard to use. Action items are buried in paragraphs, owners and deadlines go missing, and occasionally the model fills a gap with something nobody said.
The fix is to tell it what you want in four parts.
TL;DR: state the task, the output format, the rules about what it may not add, and the length.
The four parts
Copy-paste version
Turn the meeting notes below into meeting minutes.
Use these sections in order: Decisions / Action items (owner, due date) / Next meeting. Put action items in a table.
Don't add anything that isn't in the notes. If an owner or date is missing, write "To confirm".
One line per decision, ten lines in total.
Notes:
Paste your raw notes after "Notes:".
Before you paste anything
We haven't included sample output here. AI answers change from run to run, so a screenshot of one answer wouldn't tell you much. The structure of the prompt is the part that carries over.
If you're building this into a tool
The same four parts map neatly onto a system prompt plus a structured output schema: format becomes the schema (an array of action items with owner and due fields), and "To confirm" becomes an allowed value instead of a free-text guess. That makes missing information visible in the data rather than hidden in prose.

I invented this cocktail while working in a tiki bar in England. I call it the Pikesville Appendix Trip.
Take an empty cocktail shaker. Into this pour the juice of 5 apples. Add 2 measures of dark rum, 3 measures of brandy and 3 measures of armagnac. Top up with Dr. Pepper. Shake vigorously for 6 minutes, then strain into a champagne flute. Prost!

📡 #ICYMI: Are fast radio bursts more common toward galaxy clusters?
New research suggests these mysterious cosmic flashes occur more often toward galaxy clusters than expected. But how confident are astronomers in that result?
In this clip from #SETILive, Dr. Mawson W. Sammons explains the statistical significance of the finding, while SETI Institute astronomer Dr. Lauren Sgro puts the odds into perspective.
Watch the clip, then catch the full conversation!
In the Rush documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage,1 Jack Black describes musicians’ wells of creative juices as ‘rocket sauce.’ He notes that some musicians and bands only muster enough for one BIG album, while others seem to run on an endless supply.2 This description stuck with me through the years, and remains my go-to reference when someone gilds whatever they touch. Kraków vocalist Maciej Proficz is one such individual, and both his active projects Dormant Ordeal and Cursebinder run on vast reserves of rocket sauce while offering multifaceted interpretations of their respective genres. Dormant Ordeal’s Tooth and Nail landed at the #3 spot in last year’s Aggregated List; third album The Grand Scheme of Things received a glowing review from Dr. Wvrm and appeared on several 2021 end-of-year lists despite a late December release, and Cursebinder’s debut Drifting found itself atop Carcharodon’s Top Ten(ish) of 2023. Such accolades can’t guarantee future triumphs, but they can send expectations into the stratosphere—does Cursebinder’s sophomore album Psychohazard harness the rocket sauce to send us there?
Though Cursebinder operates under the black metal umbrella, no single genre encapsulates Psychohazard’s breadth. In his write-up of Drifting, Carcharodon cites doom, death, and post-metal as descriptors for Cursebinder’s chameleonic character. Instead of using camouflage in a way that makes Psychohazard difficult to absorb or engage with, though, this Polish quartet employs it to disguise barriers between genres and inculcate an atmosphere both familiar and unique. Compared to Drifting, Psychohazard submits more direct applications of riffs (“Saturnine Rage,” “Prayers for the Living, Flowers for the Dead”) and synths (“Limits”), and where Drifting’s genre-hopping evinced distinct moods with thoughtful transitions, Psychohazard blurs lines together with subtler craft.3 Psychohazard’s first four tracks flow together in a sublime strand that ricochets between textured aggression (“Death Season”) and gentler grooves (“The Astronaut”), culminating in a rabid fusion that seethes with angst and catharsis (“Saturnine Rage”). Honestly, this track would make a resounding closer, and to use it at Psychohazard’s midpoint illustrates the puissance of Cursebinder’s surrounding material.
Merging these sounds into a unified platter requires keen grace, and to then layer in the emotional depth that Cursebinder achieves is stunning. Cursebinder’s promo materials describe Psychohazard’s theme as a study in the collision of life’s ‘rat race’ and humanity’s inherent desire for love and acceptance. As the demands of my own life continue to creep,4 this idea strikes a chord that thrums with self-renewing relevance every day. “Death Season” bustles with vitriol and vigor as Proficz’s caustic vocals impel the track in a blinding tempest, while “The Astronaut” and “Under the Skin” float upon currents that relax and unwind one moment before boiling over into frenzied bursts the next. But even this is an oversimplification, as each track proves vibrant and diverse, refusing to condense into single emotions. Broadly, the back half of Psychohazard feels lighter than the front, putting more emphasis on dimensions that evoke post-metal’s vagrant dreaminess without losing the threads of riffs or motifs.
Considering Cursebinder’s sprawling ambitions, Psychohazard sounds focused and urgent throughout its runtime. The post-addled haze never drifts too far, the scorching fury never burns too hot, and the tender flashes never linger long enough to caramelize into mawkishness. I credit this purposefulness to the efficient instrumentation that Cursebinder unfurls with nary a wasted flourish. Guitarist Hubert Fudała and bassist Łukasz Sojka wend together in climactic swells and releases that expertly pace the album’s fifty-three minutes,5 and Marek Koszycki drums with nuanced timekeeping that flits between punk-powered d-beats (“Saturnine Rage”), insistent blast beats (“Made to Be Sold”), and delicate rhythms (“The Astronaut”). Proficz’s synth presence penetrates Psychohazard’s compositions, and in totality Cursebinder rewards repeat listens as each musician’s contributions impress individually while coalescing into an assembly greater than its sum.
Although post-related tags usually thwart my interest, something about Cursebinder’s spell called to me from beyond the ether. Psychohazard proves textures and layers can inculcate depth rather than acting as a standalone attraction, and going forward I hope to point to Cursebinder as my entry point into appreciating a wider expanse of metal. Cursebinder’s faults are few, and even if the record is slightly front-loaded or a few songs linger a tad overlong, these nitpicks pale in light of Psychohazard’s utter glory. If you seek an album that synthesizes the aura of post-metal with more conventional metal structures, I doubt you’ll find a better album this year. Barring that, you should listen to Cursebinder anyway, because missing it could be a Psychohazard to your health.

Alle sprechen über dich, aber niemals mit dir
Die Ausstellung „Subkultur-Hauptstadt Karl-Marx-Stadt" findet nicht etwa in Chemnitz statt, sondern in Leipzig. Die betrachtete Zeit endet auch brav 1990, weil man sonst mit den Menschen zusammenarbeiten müsste, die die letzten 30 Jahre geprägt haben, und das wollen wir nicht. Mit denen redet man nicht.
Stimmen tut es trotzdem. Es ist eine ganz eigene Kultur, die bis heute fortbesteht. Wahrscheinlich deshalb, weil man immer die Position des Underdogs hat. Man könnte den Hunger auf der Welt besiegen und alle hätten etwas auszusetzen. Irgendwie beleidigend, aber auch befreiend. Hier der Originaltext der Veranstaltung:
https://www.galeriekub.de/index.php?Direction=1489
Die Kulturhauptstadt Chemnitz 2025 war nicht zuletzt angetreten, explizit der autodidaktischen künstlerischen Selbstermächtigung Raum zu geben, die in der Stadt ohne Kunstschule-Tradition eine wesentliche Rolle spielte und zum herausragenden Sonderstatus innerhalb des alternativen Kunst- und Subkultur-Spektrums der späten DDR führte. Von Ansätzen abgesehen kam die außergewöhnliche Karl-Marx-Städter Szene der 1980er Jahre aber nicht in den Fokus, was nicht zuletzt auch eine internationale Würdigung hätte sein können.
„Subkulturhauptstadt Karl-Marx-Stadt“ als Projekt in einer Kooperation des Leipziger Soziokulturellen Zentrums naTo e.V. und der Publikations- und Präsentationsplattform Zonic greift diese Fehlstelle leicht zugespitzt auf und setzt von einer relativen Außenposition zur ergänzenden Korrektur an.
Es fußt dabei auf diversen Vorgänger-Projekten zur Subkultur des realsozialistischen Raums und entsprechenden Veröffentlichungen, in denen auch der spezielle Charakter der Karl-Marx-Städter Szene vorgestellt wurde. Aus diesen Kontexten ergibt sich auch die maßgebliche Zusammenarbeit mit Dr. Claus Löser, der als Ko-Kurator aus den originalen Zusammenhängen stammt. Er gründete Anfang der 1980er mit dem späteren Künstler Florian Merkel die Artpunk-Band Die Gehirne, gab zwischen 1983 und 1985 mit Frank Bretschneider das originalgrafische Samisdat-Magazin A Drei heraus und veröffentlichte Texte in anderen DDR-Samisdat-Publikationen. Hauptgrund seiner Verfolgung durch die Staatssicherheit war jedoch seine Rolle als wesentlicher Akteur der vor allem mit Super8-Technik arbeitenden Experimentalfilm-Szene, zu deren wichtigstem Archivar und wissenschaftlichem Aufbereiter er später wurde.
Die Wortwahl von der „Subkulturhauptstadt Karl-Marx-Stadt“ bezieht sich aber auch wertend auf die Vielzahl außergewöhnlicher künstlerisch-subkultureller Aktivitäten, deren Bandbreite vor allem mittels der Ausstellung erfahrbar wird, während in einer Veranstaltungsreihe spezifische Momente kontextualisiert werden. Keine andere Stadt der DDR hatte eine ähnlich schräge Verschränkung von Klang, Poesie, Experimentalfilm, Kunst und performativer Aufführung aufzuweisen. Dass es auch schon eine Eigenwahrnehmung dieses Sonder-Charakters gab, drückte sich z.B. in den Kassetten-Beilagen des Magazins A Drei „Melodie & Harmonie“ und „Klar vor mir Musik“ aus, die den Sound der Stadt einfingen. Ein Novum der Selbstbehauptung der Hauptstadt eines Randbezirks. Deren politische wie kulturpolitische Wirkungsbedingungen in den 1980ern ebenfalls vorgestellt wird, von der staatlichen Repression Anfang der 1980er, vor allem von Punk, bis zur vorsichtig geweiteten, wenn auch weiter überwachten Spielwiese am Ende des Jahrzehnts bzw. des gesellschaftlichen Systems.

They were stranded. The tsunami had just engulfed their craft, and having been tossed aside like so much flotsam, the engines were flooded.
"Let it drain, Cooper. It'll need an hour," stated the flat voice of TARS from the centre console.
"How much is this going to cost us, Brand?" demanded Cooper as he paced in agitation. Her reply, as she sat dejected on the floor: "A lot. Decades."
"Wait," Cooper realised. "It's the last Sunday of October back on Earth. Is there any way we can, I don't know, change our clocks on the European schedule, gain back the years?"
Amelia Brand stood and walked over to a side panel. "It could work. Let me edit the ship's timezone real quick..."
A confirmatory beep sounded out from the panel. "Ok, we're now on London time. How're the engines looking, TARS?"
"All clear, Dr Brand; we're good to go."
“The Evil” (1978) – Review
Hello again, my lovely Gorehounds and Horrorfiends,
3FMC is here with you with more fun and laughs as we review horror films from yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Today, we decided to wait until the nice day was over, then it was pizza time, and some Horror to scare the mozzarella out of us. As we are drawing closer to the 31st, and All Hallow’s Eve, we have cranked up our Horror viewing by a factor of 5. If we had cranked it up to 10, we would not be going to work, and that would be a big problem. Anyways, we spun our Wheel of Death to see what it landed on…BTW, we made a cute little wheel that works like the Wheel of Fortune, that we spin to pick Horror films when we cant decide. It has the subclasses of:
It landed on “Haunted House” so we pulled one from the drawer that we haven’t reviewed on here yet. That would 1978’s The Evil, starring Richard Crenna, Joanna Pettet, and the late great, Victor Buono.
Premise: A psychiatrist, Dr. Arnold (Crenna) purchases an abandoned mansion that he plans to turn into a drug rehab. He then has some friends come in and help him clean up the place to get it in order. Apparently, the house was previously owned by a Civil War General, who had the home built of some sort of hot springs. Then, when working in the basement, Dr. Arnold finds a trapdoor that he opens and unwittingly releases a nasty spirit which traps all of them in the house. Dr. Arnold later realizes that the trapdoor is actually a doorway to Hell (at least it wasn’t a well in the basement like another house located in Amityville).
Discussion: Once the spirits are released from the basement, the body count starts to soar, and people are killed in some gruesome ways. All in all, this was a very effective, and in a lot of ways, underrated haunted house horror film. Strong performances from Crenna and Buono, set this one apart from many of the other Haunted House films of the genre. Buono’s portrayal of The Devil was particularly good, and frightening. We definitely think that this one is in the Top 5 best Haunted House films of the 1970s and 1980s. Not Poltergeist-level special effects, but definitely more psychological in nature, and an effective one at that. Give it a try.
” I feed on 3FMC Reviews, Mr. Arnold.”Rating: 4 doors to Hell out of 5.

Reklam panelinde "lead" sayısı artarken satış ekibinin "bu lead'lerin hiçbiri alıcı değil" demesi, dijital pazarlamada en sık duyduğum cümlelerden biri. Ben Koray Yalçın; lead yönetimi, CRM mimarisi, dijital pazarlama ve yapay zekâ destekli otomasyonların kesiştiği projelerde çalışıyorum, özellikle gayrimenkul ve B2B tarafında. Bu cümlenin arkasında çoğu zaman teknik bir kopukluk yatar: Reklam platformu formun doldurulduğunu bilir, ama o kişinin üç hafta sonra showroom'a gelip sözleşme imzaladığını bilmez. Algoritma da doğal olarak form doldurmaya en yatkın kitleyi bulmaya devam eder, satın almaya en yatkın kitleyi değil.
Bu boşluğu kapatmanın yolu, CRM'de oluşan "nitelikli lead", "randevu gerçekleşti" ve "satış kapandı" gibi olayları sunucu tarafından Meta Conversions API'ye (CAPI) geri göndermek. Bu yazı bir pazarlama rehberi değil; bu köprüyü kodla kurarken karşılaştığım tasarım kararlarını anlatıyor: kullanıcı verisinin normalizasyonu ve hash'lenmesi, olay kimliği ile tekilleştirme, zaman penceresi, yeniden deneme stratejisi ve izin kontrolü. Örnekler Python ama mantık her dile taşınabilir.
Önce olay sözlüğü: Hangi CRM durumu hangi olay?
Kod yazmadan önce yapılması gereken en önemli iş, CRM'deki aşamaları sınırlı ve anlamlı bir olay listesine eşlemek. Her aşama değişikliğini Meta'ya göndermek gürültü üretir. Benim kullandığım tipik eşleme şöyle:
LeadGenellikle tarayıcı pikseli zaten gönderirTemsilci "nitelikli" işaretlediQualifiedLead (özel olay)Ölçüm kurgusuna göre seçilirRandevu gerçekleştiSchedule veya özel olay"Randevu alındı" değil, "gerçekleşti"Sözleşme imzalandıPurchasevalue ve currency zorunlu düşünülmeli
Burada kritik nokta şu: Olay, CRM'de geri alınabilir bir alan değişikliğinden değil, kalıcı bir olaydan tetiklenmeli. Temsilci bir fırsatı yanlışlıkla "kazanıldı" yapıp beş dakika sonra geri alırsa, gönderilmiş bir Purchase olayını geri çekmenin pratik bir yolu yoktur. Bu yüzden ben aşama değişikliklerini doğrudan API'ye bağlamak yerine bir conversion_events tablosuna yazıyorum ve gönderimi kısa bir bekleme süresinden sonra yapan ayrı bir işçiye bırakıyorum.
CREATE TABLE conversion_events (
id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
event_id TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, -- tekilleştirme anahtarı
event_name TEXT NOT NULL,
lead_id BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES leads(id),
occurred_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL, -- olayın gerçek zamanı
value_minor BIGINT, -- kuruş/cent cinsinden
currency CHAR(3),
status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending', -- pending, sent, failed, skipped
attempts INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
last_error TEXT,
send_after TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now() + interval '15 minutes'
);
send_after alanı, "yanlışlıkla kazanıldı" senaryosuna karşı küçük bir tampon. İşçi göndermeden önce fırsatın hâlâ aynı aşamada olup olmadığını kontrol eder; değilse kaydı skipped yapar.
Kullanıcı verisini normalize etmek: Hash'ten önce gelen asıl iş
CAPI, e-posta ve telefon gibi kişisel verilerin SHA-256 ile hash'lenmiş olarak gönderilmesini bekler. Çoğu ekip hashlib.sha256(email) yazıp işi bitmiş sayar. Sorun şu ki hash, girdideki tek bir boşluğu ya da büyük harfi tamamen farklı bir değere dönüştürür. Meta tarafındaki eşleşme de birebir karşılaştırmayla çalıştığı için normalizasyon hatası, sessizce düşük eşleşme oranı olarak geri döner.
Benim sahada gördüğüm en yaygın hatalar:
0533 ..., +90 533 ..., 90533... gibi farklı biçimlerde saklanması.import hashlib
import re
import phonenumbers
def _sha256(value: str) -> str:
return hashlib.sha256(value.encode("utf-8")).hexdigest()
def norm_email(raw: str | None) -> str | None:
if not raw:
return None
v = raw.strip().lower()
return v if "@" in v else None
def norm_phone(raw: str | None, default_region: str = "TR") -> str | None:
if not raw:
return None
try:
num = phonenumbers.parse(raw, default_region)
except phonenumbers.NumberParseException:
return None
if not phonenumbers.is_valid_number(num):
return None
# Ülke kodu dahil, yalnızca rakamlar, başta + yok
return phonenumbers.format_number(num, phonenumbers.PhoneNumberFormat.E164).lstrip("+")
def build_user_data(lead) -> dict:
ud = {}
if (e := norm_email(lead.email)):
ud["em"] = [_sha256(e)]
if (p := norm_phone(lead.phone, lead.country_code or "TR")):
ud["ph"] = [_sha256(p)]
if lead.external_id:
ud["external_id"] = [_sha256(str(lead.external_id))]
# Tarayıcıdan yakalandıysa hash'lenmeden gönderilen alanlar
if lead.fbc:
ud["fbc"] = lead.fbc
if lead.fbp:
ud["fbp"] = lead.fbp

Bir detay daha: Kıbrıs gibi çok uluslu alıcı kitlesi olan pazarlarda default_region sabit "TR" olamaz. İngiltere'den gelen bir lead'in 07... ile başlayan numarası Türkiye varsayımıyla ayrıştırılırsa geçersiz sayılır ya da daha kötüsü yanlış bir numara üretir. Bu yüzden formda ülke seçimini ayrı bir alan olarak tutmak, normalizasyonun doğruluğunu doğrudan etkiliyor.
fbc, fbp ve external_id: Eşleşmeyi güçlendiren köprüler
E-posta ve telefon tek başına çoğu zaman yeterli olur, ama iki alan eşleşme kalitesini belirgin biçimde artırır:
fbc: Reklam tıklamasıyla gelen fbclid parametresinden türetilen tıklama kimliği. Kullanıcı sitenize reklamla geldiyse _fbc çerezinde bulunur.fbp: Pikselin tarayıcıya yazdığı _fbp çerezi.Bu değerler satış anında değil, lead oluştuğu anda yakalanmalı. Üç hafta sonra sözleşme imzalanırken kullanıcı tarayıcısında değil, satış ofisinde oturuyor. Bu nedenle form gönderiminde bu iki çerezi gizli alanlarla alıp lead kaydına yazmak, sonraki tüm offline olayların kalitesini belirliyor. Meta Lead Ads formlarından gelen lead'lerde ise platformun verdiği lead kimliğini saklamak aynı işi görür; CRM entegrasyonu senaryolarında bu kimliğin olayla birlikte gönderilmesi eşleşmeyi doğrudan kurar.
external_id ise sizin CRM'deki kişi kimliğiniz. Hem piksel hem sunucu tarafında aynı değer (hash'lenmiş olarak) gönderilirse, aynı kişinin farklı olaylarını birbirine bağlamak kolaylaşır.
event_id ile tekilleştirme: Aynı satışı iki kez saymamak
CAPI'de iki ayrı tekrar riski vardır:
Lead olayını hem tarayıcı pikseli hem sunucu gönderiyorsa, iki olay aynı event_name ve aynı event_id ile gelmelidir. Meta bu ikiliyi tek olay olarak sayar.event_id korunmalıdır.event_id rastgele üretilmemeli; olaydan deterministik olarak türetilmeli. Benim tercihim şu:
def make_event_id(event_name: str, lead_id: int, stage_version: int) -> str:
return f"{event_name.lower()}:{lead_id}:{stage_version}"
stage_version, fırsatın o aşamaya kaçıncı kez girdiğini tutan bir sayaç. Böylece bir müşteri gerçekten ikinci bir daire satın alırsa yeni bir Purchase üretilir, ama aynı satış için yapılan iki gönderim aynı kimliği taşır. Veritabanındaki UNIQUE kısıtı da aynı olayın kuyruğa iki kez girmesini engeller.
Zaman penceresi: event_time "şimdi" değil, olayın gerçek zamanıdır
Offline satış entegrasyonunda en sık yapılan hata, event_time alanına gönderim anını yazmak. Olayın değeri, ne zaman gerçekleştiğiyle anlam kazanır; sözleşme salı günü imzalandıysa ve işçi çarşamba gönderdiyse, event_time salı olmalıdır.
İkinci önemli nokta, Meta'nın kabul ettiği geriye dönük pencere. Bu yazıyı yazarken belgeler, olayların gerçekleştikten sonra sınırlı bir süre içinde gönderilmesini istiyor ve bu süre action_source değerine göre farklılaşabiliyor. Sınır zamanla değişebildiği için kodda sabit bir sayı gömmek yerine yapılandırmadan okuyorum ve pencereyi aşmış olayları göndermeyi denemek yerine skipped olarak işaretleyip raporluyorum:
from datetime import datetime, timezone, timedelta
MAX_AGE = { # yapılandırmadan gelir; güncel değeri resmi belgeden doğrulayın
"system_generated": timedelta(days=7),
"physical_store": timedelta(days=7),
}
def is_sendable(evt, action_source: str) -> bool:
age = datetime.now(timezone.utc) - evt.occurred_at
return age <= MAX_AGE.get(action_source, timedelta(days=7))
Bu kontrolün pratik sonucu, satış ekibinin CRM'i zamanında güncellemesinin bir veri kalitesi konusu haline gelmesi. Sözleşmeyi on gün sonra sisteme giren bir ekip, reklam optimizasyonuna o satışı hiç kazandıramaz. Bu yüzden ben bu entegrasyonu kurarken satış ekibi için "sözleşme imzalandığı gün CRM'de kapanır" kuralını da süreç tarafında yazılı hale getiriyorum.
action_source ve olay gövdesi
Sunucudan giden olay gövdesinin iskeleti şöyle:
def build_payload(evt, lead, action_source="system_generated") -> dict:
data = {
"event_name": evt.event_name,
"event_time": int(evt.occurred_at.timestamp()),
"event_id": evt.event_id,
"action_source": action_source,
"user_data": build_user_data(lead),
}
if evt.value_minor is not None:
data["custom_data"] = {
"value": evt.value_minor / 100,
"currency": evt.currency,
}
return {"data": [data]}
action_source alanı, olayın nerede gerçekleştiğini anlatır. Web formu için website, CRM'in kendi ürettiği aşama değişiklikleri için system_generated, satış ofisinde imzalanan sözleşme için physical_store gibi değerler kullanılabilir. Doğru değeri seçmek hem raporlamayı hem de uygulanan kuralları etkiler; bu yüzden olay sözlüğünde her olayın action_source değerini de sabitliyorum.
value tarafında bir uyarı: Konut gibi yüksek tutarlı satışlarda gerçek sözleşme bedelini göndermek bazı ekiplerin istemediği bir şey olabilir. Bu durumda tutarlı bir "değer skalası" (örneğin ürün tipine göre sabit bir puan) kullanmak, optimizasyon sinyalini korurken hassas ticari bilgiyi dışarı çıkarmamanın bir yolu. Hangisi seçilirse seçilsin, tutarlılık önemlidir; ay ortasında yöntemi değiştirmek raporları kırar.
Gönderim işçisi: Toplu istek, yeniden deneme ve hata sınıflandırma
İşçinin görevi basit görünür ama hata sınıflandırması önemli:
import requests, time
def send_batch(events, leads, pixel_id, token):
payload = {"data": []}
for evt in events:
payload["data"].extend(build_payload(evt, leads[evt.lead_id])["data"])
url = f"https://graph.facebook.com/{API_VERSION}/{pixel_id}/events"
resp = requests.post(url, params={"access_token": token}, json=payload, timeout=15)
if resp.status_code >= 500 or resp.status_code == 429:
raise RetryableError(resp.text) # üstel bekleme ile tekrar
if resp.status_code >= 400:
raise PermanentError(resp.text) # kaydı failed yap, alarm üret
return resp.json()
Kurallarım:
event_id aynı kalır.İzin ve veri minimizasyonu
Kişisel veriyi üçüncü bir platforma, hash'lenmiş olsa bile, göndermek bir hukuki dayanak gerektirir. Türkiye'de KVKK, Avrupa'dan gelen alıcılar için GDPR bu çerçeveyi çizer. Benim teknik tarafta uyguladığım kurallar:
Bu bir hukuki görüş değil; ama izin kontrolünü kodun içine bir if olarak gömmek, sonradan "kimin verisi nereye gitti" sorusuna cevap verebilmeyi sağlıyor.
Ölçüm: Entegrasyon gerçekten çalışıyor mu?
Kurulumdan sonra baktığım üç gösterge var:
occurred_at ile gönderim zamanı arasındaki fark. Satış ekibinin CRM'i geç güncellemesi burada hemen görünür.Purchase sayısı arasındaki fark. Birebir tutması beklenmez, ama fark aniden açılırsa token, izin veya şema tarafında bir şey bozulmuştur.Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
Piksel zaten kurulu, neden ayrıca CAPI gerekiyor?
Piksel yalnızca tarayıcıda olan olayları görür. Telefonla kapanan, satış ofisinde imzalanan ya da haftalar sonra gerçekleşen satışlar tarayıcıda olmaz. CAPI, bu olayları CRM'den doğrudan göndermeyi sağlar.
E-postayı hash'lemeden göndersem Meta kendisi hash'lemez mi?
Bazı resmi kütüphaneler hash işlemini kendisi yapar, ama kendi kodunuzla gönderiyorsanız normalizasyon ve hash sizin sorumluluğunuzdadır. Kontrolü elde tutmak, hatayı ayıklamayı da kolaylaştırır.
Aynı satışı yanlışlıkla iki kez gönderirsem ne olur?
Aynı event_name ve event_id ile gönderildiyse tekilleştirilir. Farklı kimlikle gönderildiyse iki satış sayılır; bu yüzden kimliği deterministik üretmek önemlidir.
Satış on gün sonra CRM'e girildi, yine de gönderebilir miyim?
Meta'nın kabul ettiği geriye dönük pencereyi aşmışsa olay reddedilir. Güncel sınırı resmi belgeden kontrol edin ve asıl çözümü süreçte arayın: satış, gerçekleştiği gün CRM'e girilmeli.
Gerçek sözleşme bedelini göndermek zorunda mıyım?
Hayır. Tutarlı bir değer skalası da optimizasyon için yeterli sinyal üretebilir. Önemli olan, seçilen yöntemin zaman içinde değişmemesi.
Bu entegrasyon küçük ekipler için fazla karmaşık değil mi?
Kuyruk tablosu, normalizasyon fonksiyonu ve bir gönderim işçisi birkaç yüz satır kod demek. Karşılığında reklam algoritması form dolduranları değil, satın alanları öğrenmeye başlar. Lead hacmi düşük ama satış değeri yüksek sektörlerde bu fark özellikle belirgin.

Anagnorisis nearly didn’t return, as the material for Caregriever (and the album title) was originally conceived as a solo project for frontman Zachery Kerr. Created to grapple with the grief of caring for his father-in-law over five years up until his death, the aptly titled Caregriever is the band’s first new record in a decade. As the scope of the solo material blew up, Kerr shared it with his old bandmates, and their latest was born. With a decade behind the band and music originally conceived for another project, is Anagnorisis’s return worthy of its emotional inspirations or a miasma of ideas and execution?
Time has not dulled the Louisville, Kentucky-based Anagnorisis’s skills in the slightest. Caregriever tugs at your emotions like the clawing hands of the River Styx, and our Charon on this journey is frontman Zachery Kerr. His acid-burned, throaty howls elevate the poignant lyrics to a fever pitch, leading to emotional climaxes at every turn. When “Choke” opens up in the back half and he screams, “IT’S YOUR FUCKING FAULT,” as the band drops into all-out frenzy, you know Anagnorisis are back. Cody McCoy’s drumming may be the highlight; his impactful playing is natural while still carrying an incredible sense of rhythm even at top speed. “Nothing Left To Give” displays his meaty fills and battering snare, but he is a force across the album. Zak Denham and Kerr fill Caregriever with memorable guitar playing that dips outside the typical black-and post-black range the band is known for. This record is faster, meaner, and dripping with vitriol and bittersweet love in equal parts. Punk asides, riffs like chasms, and alluring solos pepper Caregriever. Josh Mumford’s bass is the only victim here. While the production is phenomenal throughout, it is frequently lost in the cacophony of Kerr’s screeching vocals, McCoy’s battering drums, and the dual-guitar assault. When the bass does peek through, it is weighty and twangy, exactly as it should be. This isn’t an issue with the production; it is more like too many good elements fighting for your attention at any given time.
Caregriever never lets up or wastes time, and even when it slows down, the record offers interesting tangents and rich atmosphere. “Death of Man” features a thrumming bassline, samples, and industrial music as Kerr rasps through the entire track. “Death of Men” brings back the post-black metal sound that Anagnorisis is known for while mixing in blackened punk. “A Living Grave” features the record’s only clean singing, tastefully weaving the melody with a plucky post-metal throughline. For a record just over forty minutes, there is an astounding amount of variety. Every track belongs, and the band isn’t a strict adherent to structure in all the right ways.
Caregriever is a record that is rich on every level. The playing is top-tier, creativity abounds, and the lyrics are heart-wrenching. The worst I can say is I would have liked to hear a little more bass in the mix, and the album could actually gain a song, as it is a bit heavy on atmospherics in the middle. These are nitpicks in the grand scheme of things, and Anagnorisis shows that they are more than capable of one of the best comebacks I never knew I needed. Caregriever smartly slices the fat from previous records, and in the transfer of Kerr’s solo material to a full record for the band, they have their best work to date.
Caregriever is a tightly played, carefully crafted, and passionately conceived record that will stand the test of time. I can’t wait to see what Anagnorisis does next with this newfound creative drive, because Caregriever sounds like a young band’s debut, not one from an act off a decade-long hiatus. If you love White Ward, Ashbringer, and Bosse-de-Nage, Anagnorisis is likely already on your list; if not, Caregriever makes a case for one of the best black metal records of the year. Bring a box of tissues, but be ready to fling snot everywhere as you headbang through the hauntingly beautiful hellscape of Caregriever.

Last year, Sarcator flew under the radar with a pretty rad platter. On the heels of their mixed sophomore outing, 2025’s Swarming Angels & Flies served up delectable blackened thrash with necrotic notes and refreshing traditional/surf-rock side dishes. A year later, I’m surprised to see them already plating The Ones We Follow. Also surprising was word that this Swedish trio has all but abandoned thrash on album four, adopting a flavor profile they don with a curious descriptor: ‘death’s rock.’ Skepticism-inducing as any major sonic shift should be, the rock elements of Swarming Angels & Flies did elevate my excitement over Sarcator’s riffy brand of thrash with the crispy skin. In turning this element into the main course, I’m left wondering if these young Swedes returned to the kitchen prematurely.
Despite the generic shift, Sarcator still retain the unhinged aggression characterizing their blackened thrash menu. Indeed, guitarist/vocalist Mateo Tervonen belts an acerbic ‘owww!’ on opener “The Ones We Follow,” with drummer Jesper Rosén speeding between kit pieces underneath. It’s the guitar work, however, that distinguishes old from new Sarcator. Rather than relying on syncopated palm mutes and serpentine riffs, Tervonen and Leo Buchalle favor twangy licks and careening power chords. The solos also affirm this new, ‘classic’ approach, adding bluesy soul into the mix. Almost rockabilly in nature, it’s as if Hellripper collided with Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. As the record progresses, Sarcator introduce a host of country western elements—slide guitar, harmonica, the occasional snake rattle—with big Wayfarer1 energy (“Volatile Insight,” “Ain’t Fit to Live”). These country western-isms might imply a seismic shift, but it’s not as if Sarcator sound like a completely different band. The sandwich is now (western-tinged) rock, but its wrapper is still youthful, abrasive, and—yes—blackened.
Sarcator build this batch of tunes atop time-tested chord progressions, with Tervonen’s vocals tasked with cutting through the listener’s palette. For the most part, he delivers. The choruses on “In Search of Oblivion” and “Volatile Insight” hit the sweet spot between attitude and stickiness through deliberate spacing and cadence. Tervonen’s tongue trills are tantalizing, becoming a bit of a signature throughout. Not every song, however, strikes a salutary balance. “The Underground Streets” could pay off its guitar earworm with a stronger vocal hook, while “Bleeding Ages” is in need of memorability. Penultimate country rocker “Wasteland Strider” tosses a vocal curveball, containing clean singing before it gets death n’ rolling. It’s a jarring change that, while well executed, feels a little like variety for variety’s sake this late in the album. Production-wise, Tervonen’s voice is a bit more prominent in the mix than I’d like, at the expense of melodic support from the bass.2 But overall, The Ones We Follow sounds open and punchy, with Tervonen’s voice commanding deserved attention.
While not their longest meal, The Ones We Follow pits a girthy album length against a mostly immediate vibe. Shorter songs like “The Ones We Follow” and “You Gotta Possess Me” kill it, kicking in the door with controlled chaos. The clash between immediacy and girth, however, reveals itself mostly in the album’s epics. Seven-minute centerpiece “Rotting Chapels” implies scope with its key-changing buildup, but it ends up sounding like a longer version of the abrasive surf rock heard earlier. Meanwhile, closer “Wanderlust” epitomizes its title, wandering from mid-paced cowboy bumps to “Hot for Teacher”-style fretboard gymnastics and harmonica-sweetened blues dirt. It’s highly entertaining stuff, skirting the line between jamming and riff salad-ing. The album’s 50 minutes may look long on paper, but there’s enough head-turning developments to keep things interesting. The Dire Straits-y ending to “Rotting Chapels” comes to mind, as does the brush-fueled gallop in “Bleeding Ages.”
Leaving me a little hungry at first, The Ones We Follow ultimately won me over with its blackening of a more rustic protein. I applaud Sarcator for daring to change, and there’s lots of tasty stuff on here, with nothing off-putting. Still, The Ones We Follow could elevate its addictive attitude and classic songwriting with more vocal hooks and judicious editing. What crystal clear, however, is that the members of Sarcator are having a hell of a lot of fun here, rocking out and experimenting in equal measure. I’ll continue following these Swedes in the future, as they show signs of following The Ones We Follow with something seriously sumptuous.
