How to Build a Reliable Telegram Post Monitor Using Apify and n8n

A developer tutorial explains why a scheduled scraper alone cannot detect new Telegram posts without a separate state-tracking layer. The core problem is that 'new' requires comparing the current data snapshot against a previous one — information a single Actor run does not hold on its own. The author built a solution using a stateless Apify Actor for scraping and an n8n workflow to manage comparison state, duplicate prevention, and first-run policy. Testing across four scenarios revealed that a fresh session with no baseline can retrieve posts but cannot determine which are new — a distinction the system must explicitly preserve. The design is presented as reusable for price trackers, job monitors, inventory checks, and any workflow that repeatedly asks what has changed.

Developer Builds Open-Source Tool to Automate Microsoft Intune App Publishing via YAML

A developer has released RelayPublisher, an open-source command-line tool that enables IT teams to publish applications to Microsoft Intune using YAML manifests and CI/CD pipelines. The tool was created to address the complexity of managing custom Intune apps, which traditionally required manual portal interaction or custom Graph API scripting. RelayPublisher follows a winget-style workflow where application definitions are stored in source control and published automatically through GitHub or Azure Repos pipelines. Available as a .NET global tool on NuGet, it supports Windows and macOS and includes commands for validating, planning, packaging, and publishing Intune apps. The developer credited generative AI for significantly reducing the effort needed to build and maintain the project.

India’s growth beat signals investment boom

MP Governor Backs Denial of Probe Sanction Against Minister Over Mhow Remarks

Madhya Pradesh Governor has supported the decision to deny sanction for a probe against state minister Kunwar Vijay Shah. The case stems from controversial remarks Shah made during a public event in the Mhow area in May 2025. The sanction, required to initiate a formal investigation against a serving minister, was refused by the authorities. The Governor's backing reinforces the state government's position of shielding the minister from legal proceedings over his comments.

Rupee rises 26 paise on 7.8% GDP growth and strong portfolio inflows

The Indian Rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday, gaining 26 paise. The appreciation was driven by robust domestic economic growth, recorded at 7.8%, along with healthy foreign portfolio inflows. MSCI-related investments provided additional support to the currency during the session. The rupee's gains came despite early weakness in domestic equity markets and selling activity by foreign institutional investors. The performance highlights India's economic resilience amid ongoing global market uncertainties.

Developer Seeks Contributors for Open-Source Post-Apocalyptic MMORPG Built in Rust and Python

A developer has launched an open-source MMORPG project called The Last Signal, a post-apocalyptic multiplayer game being built using Rust for server and networking components and Python for the client and tooling. The project is still in early development, with current work focused on client-server communication, packet handling, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines. The developer is actively seeking contributors across several areas, including networking, server architecture, documentation, and experimental cryptography, which is described as not production-ready. Entry-point GitHub Issues have been created to help new contributors get involved without requiring deep prior knowledge of the codebase. Those with interests in Rust, Python, security research, or technical writing are particularly encouraged to participate.

Petrol Pump Worker Dies After CNG Pipe Bursts at Jharkhand Fuel Station

A petrol pump worker named Tushar Khamri was fatally injured when a CNG refuelling pipe burst at a fuel station in Jharkhand. The sudden explosion of the pipe caused severe injuries to the employee. His colleagues immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Despite efforts to save him, Khamri succumbed to his injuries.

Ghaziabad driver arrested after ramming car into three at petrol pump over parking row

Three people were injured when a car was deliberately driven into them at a petrol pump in Ghaziabad late Sunday night. The incident reportedly followed an argument between the driver and petrol pump staff over improper parking. The force of the impact was severe enough to throw one victim nearly five feet into the air. Two diesel dispensing machines at the pump were also damaged in the incident. The driver, identified as Deepu, was apprehended by police the following day.

Scaling AI Fails Without the Right Organisational Model, Experts Warn

While deploying AI has become faster and more accessible, many organisations struggle to convert short-term experiments into lasting capability. A 2026 Deloitte report found that nearly three-quarters of technology leaders expect their operating model to change within 12 to 18 months, highlighting a gap between deployment confidence and organisational readiness. Experts argue that AI scales not through technology alone but through a structured operating model covering decision rights, ownership, governance, delivery, capability-building, and feedback loops. Without such a model, independent team pilots often lead to fragmented tools, inconsistent data handling, and successful experiments that never become repeatable practice. The core challenge has shifted from asking whether AI can be used to whether an organisation can absorb and sustain it responsibly.

Six Million Afghans Deported from Pakistan and Iran Struggle to Rebuild Lives

More than six million Afghans have been forcibly deported and compelled to restart their lives under Taliban rule. The deportations have come primarily from neighboring countries Pakistan and Iran. By August of this year, the number of returnees had already reached an additional one million. Many of those deported have little or no connection to Afghanistan, with some never having lived there before. The mass returns present a significant humanitarian challenge as displaced individuals attempt to settle in an unfamiliar country under Taliban governance.

Magna Pumps $35M More Into India's Yuma Energy, Total Stake Reaches $87M

Canadian auto parts giant Magna has made an additional $35 million investment in Yuma Energy, an Indian battery-swapping company. This latest funding round brings Magna's total investment in Yuma to $87 million. The move also increases Magna's majority ownership stake in the firm. The investment signals Magna's growing confidence in battery-swapping technology as a viable electric vehicle solution in the Indian market.

Conservationist Restores 51,000 Acres of Florida Land to Longleaf Pine Ecosystem

M.C. Davis purchased 51,000 acres of degraded land in Florida and launched an ambitious ecological restoration project. His initiative, known as Nokuse Plantation, focuses on reviving the longleaf pine ecosystem native to the Southeastern United States. The project involves extensive reintroduction of native species and large-scale tree planting efforts. The work aligns with biologist E.O. Wilson's argument that protecting half of Earth's land for nature is essential to preventing a sixth mass extinction. Nokuse Plantation is now considered a significant step toward preserving critical habitats for a wide range of species.

Brazil's humpback whale population surges from 2,000 to 35,000 in 20 years

Brazil's humpback whale population has made a remarkable recovery, growing from approximately 2,000 to nearly 35,000 individuals over two decades. The species had been pushed close to extinction by commercial whaling before protective legislation and a global whaling ban helped reverse the decline. The resurgence has brought humpback whales back to Brazilian waters in significant numbers. Scientists are now actively studying the whales' migration patterns, family connections, and social behaviour to better understand the population. Researchers are also monitoring ongoing threats to the species, including entanglement in fishing nets, vessel collisions, and the effects of warming oceans.

Three-Step Python Testing Framework Aims to Automate Agent Patch Verification

A software testing approach published on DEV Community outlines a three-rung verification ladder designed to validate AI-generated code patches using a single command. The framework combines seeded property checks via Hypothesis, fixture contracts for schema validation, and a time-limited quarantine system for flaky tests. Property tests are emphasized over example-based tests because AI patches often alter boundary behavior that fixed examples fail to catch. Fixture contracts act as lightweight schemas that run before domain tests, ensuring real data examples conform to defined rules. The TTL quarantine system automatically re-enables skipped flaky tests after a set deadline, preventing indefinite suppression of test failures. The article was disclosed as part of outreach for a product called MonkeyCode, with all components requiring only pytest and Hypothesis as dependencies.
