[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️ A Reddit user has finally switched off the Microsoft Exchange email server he ran in his own home for 27 years.

He started in 1999 on Exchange 5.5 and Windows NT 4, then upgraded through every version up to Exchange 2019.

By the end, it only relayed alerts from his own hardware.

Exchange 2019 lost support in October 2025, and on-premises Exchange is now subscription-only. He replaced it with Postfix, the free open-source mail server.

In the comments, he shared his server from 2003, a motherboard zip-tied to the box it came in.

I’m pretty sure this campaign ad had something to do with it.

Hilarious if you haven’t watched it.

This is pure gold!

Abdul El-Sayed trolling Trump and JD Vance after winning Michigan’s Senate race:

“JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in, in January.”

“Donald, look, I know you struggle with my name, so after JD swears me in, you can just go on and call me Senator.”

Según los pronósticos finales del 2 de noviembre (Decision Desk, mercados, promedios de encuestas):

Cámara: demócratas con 85-95 % de probabilidad de control (proyección ~230-241 escaños).

Senado: demócratas favorecidos con 65-80 % de chance (necesitan +4 netos; proyección ~52-53).

Voto genérico: D+8 a D+9. Mañana se confirman.

We are literally doomed

American High School English Teacher reads real responses from her student’s assignment after reading The Great Gatsby

We have a serious education issue in America and if we don’t address it, we have a horrible future ahead of us

These kind of responses are to be expected because 12th grade reading results in 2024 in America showed that reading levels right now the lowest they’ve ever been since the assessment began in 1992

Slavoj Žižek is getting better and better as a public intellectual. This should scare us. Here's why.

Žižek's old problem is that he critiques aimless consumerism while himself being a stupendous consumerist product. In the past, his radicalism has too often been vacuous.

Pulling himself out of a swamp by his own hair, Žižek's commentary has become more incisive. But this is not the main reason he is getting better.

As a civilisation that's stuck, in Gramsci's words, between an old world that's dying and a new world that can't be born, we are inarticulate about our own predicament. We find it scary to talk about the causes of the crisis of trust and alienation from politics we see all around us.

Unfortunately, our public intellectuals are in the same predicament. Many liberal intellectuals have become entrepreneurs for normalisation - they're inarticulate about how Reagan, Clinton, and Obama inadvertently helped cause Trump. Many left intellectuals have become entrepreneurs for narrow identity politics. Many right intellectuals have become entrepreneurs for authoritarian politics.

Meanwhile, Žižek has joined a small minority of public intellectuals who can still acknowledge basic truths about our predicament.

In a BBC Newsnight interview this month, Žižek argued that -

(1) Trump is a symptom, not the underlying problem.
(2) The left has abandoned its commitment to a universal political vision.
(3) The breakdown of democracy and the global order is not temporary.
(4) Trump and Putin together represent a new political-economic ideology.
(5) We lack the capacity for collective action to address three great challenges: environmental catastrophe, global war, and artificial intelligence.
(6) We are needlessly making a bad situation worse by failing to act boldly and snap out of denial.

These thoughts are not extraordinary. They are routine. It is genuinely shocking that Žižek can sound radical by naming realities any educated adult should be able to recognise. Žižek's growing usefulness is a disturbing feature of our times. Above all, it reminds us that a central difficulty of our historical predicament is that it has caused us to be unable to talk about it.

The preliminary Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperature for October 13 just broke 30°C for the third time, and is now 3.3°C above the 1991-2020 baseline.

This marks the 22nd consecutive daily temperature above the previous all-time record high of 29.815°C. set on Nov. 17, 2015.
