ANNUAL HOLIDAY FUNDRAISER

 I can only produce DigameXtra with the financial support of my readers. Once a year, during the year end holidays, I do a 10 week fundraiser to help pay production expenses throughout the whole year. This year’s goal is to receive donations from 4% of subscribers. This “4% Club” finances DigameXtra for the 96% group that don’t donate. Which group will you belong to? The generosity of the 4% Club members is greatly appreciated. 

Just like your morning coffee,
what would you do
without your morning DigameXtra?

– Holiday Donation Info, 2 Methods –

DigameXtra subscribers must donate at least €20 (39¢ per week) to the 2026-2027 fundraiser to gain annual submission posting privileges for 2027.

#1. You may drop cash donations off in person and say hello, by appointment, or place them in my mailbox beside my door anytime. Please be sure to include your name on the envelope so I can put you on the list of subscribers with submission posting privileges for 2026-2027! Due to health reasons, unannounced drop-ins are inconvenient for me. But if I am expecting you, no problem! My mailbox has the name HARRIS on it. Email me for map and directions. Cash donations are strongly preferred. 
#2. Alternatively, you may send me an Amazon ES (Spain) “eGift card” by email. You need to have an Amazon.es account. The only info you need is my email address and your name (the sender’s name). Remember, this is an “eGift card” you buy that Amazon.es emails directly to me, don’t buy a plain “gift card”. Use the link provided below to access the “eGift card” purchase page. 
PLEASE DO NOT SEND AMAZON UK eGIFT CARDS. SORRY, NO BANK TRANSFERS OR PAYMENT APPS POSSIBLE.
Here is the Amazon.es eGift Card Link, (NOTE: YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY AMOUNT YOU LIKE ON THE FORM, THE DEFAULT IS €50):
https://www.amazon.es/Cheques-Regalo-Amazon-es-mail-Amazon/dp/B07SS5PFJK/?th=1&gpo=50
On the eGift card purchase form, enter the DigameXtra email as the recipient, as shown below in Spanish and with English translation.
Para/For : digamextra@protonmail.com

 

Please do not ask me about gaining posting privileges by making small donations of under €20, a few times a year. Several people promised to do that, and not a single one followed up.

Total Donations Received As Of Today: 5

Target, donations from 4% of subscribers = 210 donations

SPAIN

The Standing Committee of Congress validates the general housing decree but repeals the one on indefinite rentals: {Trans, summary}
– The Standing Committee of Congress has validated this Thursday the decree law that includes a wide range of measures to intervene in the housing market, but has repealed the other decree, promoted by Sumar (communist), which sought to establish the automatic renewal of rentals and forced the owner to compensate the tenant if he decided to break the contract.
– As with all decree-laws, the texts had to be ratified by Congress within a maximum of thirty days. Given the dissolution of Parliament due to the early elections, the Standing Committee (the only body that remains active after the dissolution) was responsible for voting on the legislation.
– The first decree, on general housing measures, was ratified by the Standing Committee thanks to the support of the 35 members of parliament from the PSOE, Sumar, ERC, PNV, and Podemos (the latter holding the votes of the entire Mixed Group), despite the opposition of the 34 members from the PP, Vox, and Junts, who previously did hold an absolute majority in the plenary session until elections were called. Regarding the second measure, the opposition from the PP, Vox, and Junts was joined by that of the PNV, which condemned the text to repeal.
– Among the measures included in the first decree, it establishes, among other things, a ban on evictions of vulnerable people without housing alternatives until 2030 and regulates an automatic extension of rental contracts for all of 2028.
– It also includes the ‘Tu Casa’ (Your Home) program, which will be managed by the Official Credit Institute (ICO) and provides loans of up to €50,000 for first-time homebuyers. This program will have a budget of €10 billion. In addition to the ICO line of credit, a social impact fund of 400 million euros is incorporated to promote housing development by social providers, while tightening the conditions for speculative housing purchases by so-called ‘vulture’ funds, expanding their definition and the conditions of exceptions compared to the previous text.
– Regarding the second decree, which failed to pass, the text stipulates that once the five-year rental period has elapsed (seven if the landlord is a legal entity), the rental agreement is automatically extended for another five years, or seven if the landlord is a company. If the landlord wishes to terminate the contract, the regulation requires them to pay the tenant compensation equivalent to one year’s rent.

The Government recognizes railway workers as a high-risk profession while denying that status to the Police and the Civil Guard: {Trans, summary}
– The government has used the Royal Decree to pass urgent measures following the Urda (Toledo) train accident to recognize railway workers as a high-risk profession while denying this status to the National Police and the Civil Guard.
– This decision has caused considerable new outrage within the State Security Forces who have long sought “high-risk profession” status, following the murder of Sub-Inspector Jota in Oviedo {pic}, when a backpack bomb exploded earlier this week. The incident occurred in Villafría, a neighbourhood in the south-east of Oviedo, in the autonomous region of Asturias, northern Spain.

ANDALUCÍA

Solar projects halted in Andalucia: {Trans, summary of 2 articles}
– Two reports describe setbacks for solar energy development in Andalucia, with projects in Malaga and Cadiz either losing their authorisations or being abandoned.
– In Almogia, Malaga, the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition has closed the administrative proceedings for Sonnedix’s proposed 80 MWp Aliaga Solar II plant. The project, initiated in 2020, encountered difficulties completing its environmental assessment. Its grid access and connection permissions also expired in June 2023 after required administrative milestones were not met. The ministry concluded that the conditions for granting prior administrative and construction authorisations had not been satisfied. Sonnedix may appeal the decision.
– In San Roque, Cadiz, South Korean company Hanwha has withdrawn two planned photovoltaic parks, Kimchi Solar and Garbi Solar. Together, the schemes represented an investment of €6.3 million and would have provided 10 MW of capacity across a 556-hectare site. Hanwha cited environmental restrictions, the planned A-7 road diversion, uncertainty over mining exploration rights, and difficulties securing finance and ensuring future operation. The Andalusian authorities accepted the withdrawals in September 2026 and cancelled the authorisations granted in October 2025.
– The cases highlight how environmental procedures, grid access, infrastructure conflicts and commercial viability can prevent approved or proposed solar developments from proceeding in practice.

AXARQUÍA

La Alquería, in Comares, once again has safe drinking water after almost two months of restrictions due to chlorates: {Trans, summary}
– Health authorities have declared the problem in the Comares-Alquería water network resolved, and the mayor has lifted the ban on drinking and cooking with tap water, which had been in effect since mid-September.
– Los Ventorros and Conca had their drinking water restored earlier, on October 8. At that time, the announcement did not mention La Alquería, which has had to wait almost a month longer.
– However, the water in Iznate remains undrinkable due to high chlorates. The Iznate Town Hall is distributing free bottled water to each family, with a voucher that can be collected at the Town Hall between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.Source, Spanish: https://cronicasdelaaxarquia.com/sociedad/alqueria-comares…

Storm Charles leaves 37 litres in Alfarnatejo and 24 in Torre del Mar, but the La Viñuela reservoir does not rise: {Trans, summary}
– The heaviest rainfall was recorded in Alfarnatejo, with 37.4 liters, followed by the Benamargosa River station at Salto del Negro (34.9) and Alcaucín (31). On the coast, the Torre del Mar wastewater treatment plant measured 24.1 liters and Torrox, 23.3.
– The storm hit hardest in western Málaga and Cádiz. That same day, the Ojén station recorded 70 litres, the Sierra de Mijas 63, and the Marbella wastewater treatment plant 57.8. In Málaga city , the rain gauge on Paseo de la Farola registered 15.3. Further east, in the Alpujarra region and along the Granada coast, several stations recorded over 60 litres.
– The rain from Wednesday hasn’t yet made a difference in La Viñuela reservoir. According to the Hidrosur reservoir report, on November 11th the reservoir held 136.59 cubic hectometres, 83.1% of its capacity, practically the same as a week earlier (136.75). It takes days for the rainwater to reach the rivers that feed it.
The difference compared to last year– a year ago the reservoir held 68.47 cubic hectometres , half of what it holds now. Source, Spanish: https://cronicasdelaaxarquia.com/sociedad/borrasca-charles…

CEUTA CRISIS

More Sanchez Deceptions! EU’s explicit offer of Frontex support for Ceuta was a blatant lie- Moncloa hid from Clavijo the Frontex veto on the Canary Islands and that there will be no deployment in the islands: {Trans, summary}
– Spain’s central government withheld information from Canary Islands President Fernando Clavijo about Frontex’s decision not to deploy operational personnel to the archipelago. Frontex intends to concentrate its Atlantic operations in Cape Verde, a non-EU country, rather than Spanish territory. It also rules out Ceuta as a deployment location, since the Spanish enclave, despite its geographical position in North Africa, remains part of the EU. The agency claims to be exclusively active in non-EU countries. Ceuta’s EU status does not, by itself, prevent a Frontex deployment. Indeed, Frontex already operates there through Operation Minerva, in a very limited capacity, principally at the port.
– The decision, only now being publicly announced, was reportedly approved on 30 October 2026, excludes establishing operational facilities on Spanish island territory in 2027, or even expanding current deployment. This undermines expectations of increased European assistance previously encouraged by Spanish ministers.
– On 21 August, 2026, The EU Commission’s Director-General for Migration and Home Affairs wrote to Spain offering assistance from European agencies including Frontex following the July migration crisis in Ceuta.
– On 3 September, 2026, following Sánchez’s announcement that Spain would seek a permanent Frontex presence at Ceuta’s port and breakwater, the Commission spokesperson confirmed: “We are ready to reinforce the presence of Frontex in Ceuta and in other parts of the external borders as needed.”
– On 9 September, 2026 the Commission went further still. It announced that: Frontex was ready to extend existing operational plans in Spain into 2027; the extension of Operation Minerva had already been agreed; and that Frontex Standing Corps officers would continue to be deployed in Ceuta. Additional assistance could include maritime assets, Eurosur surveillance, returns and cooperation with Morocco. That will not be the case.
– Clavijo had remained optimistic following discussions with government representatives in Madrid, apparently unaware that the deployment had already been ruled out.
– Now, with the Ceuta route closed, the Canary Islands are facing greatly increased pressure on reception facilities, emergency services and regional resources as they manage migrant arrivals, also without direct Frontex operational support.

EUROPE

Europe bomb threats update – Italy seeks to curb impact of hoax bomb alerts as more threats received:
– More than 1,800 Italian schools received hoax bomb warnings on Thursday but many opted to remain open, following new advice from the government for handling such security threats. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government said public buildings should be cleared only if there is concrete evidence of danger after a wave of fake bomb alerts on Wednesday triggered school closures across Italy.
– The alarm had been more widespread on Wednesday, when 6,300 schools were affected and panic spread among parents.
– These were the latest in a series of hoaxes and cyberattacks that have recently also targeted supermarkets, blood banks, air traffic systems and broadcasters across Europe. Authorities in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland said many schools had received similar threatening emails from abroad, but classified them as hoaxes and allowed classes to continue.

TECH

Microsoft’s November 2026 Patch Tuesday Updates Fix 63 Critical Flaws:
– Microsoft has released the November 2026 Patch Tuesday updates for all supported versions of Windows 11. This month, Microsoft fixed a total of 1090 security vulnerabilities affecting Windows, Office, Windows networking and remote access, Windows Security and identity, Azure, cloud and identity; Exchange Server; Microsoft Dynamics, and other components.
– On the quality and experience updates front, Windows 11 versions 26H2, 25H2, and 24H2 are getting several improvements, including a new recovery option that reinstalls Windows 11 using a Windows image and device drivers downloaded from Windows Update.
– Among the 1090 Windows vulnerabilities Microsoft fixed this month, 63 are rated “Critical,” and one of them is already being exploited by attackers. Most of the vulnerabilities are rated “Important” in severity, and you can find more details about all of them in this article.
– A best practice is to make sure you have backed up systems before applying updates. Every month, users experience issues with Windows updates that lead to systems not booting, application and hardware compatibility issues, or even data loss in extreme cases.
There are backup tools built into Windows and Windows Server that you can use to restore systems in the event a patch causes a problem. The backup features in Windows can be used to restore an entire system, or files and folders.

SPACE

The planets are aligning. Here’s how to see them:
– If you venture out before dark in the morning from mid-November 2026 onwards and look towards the southeast, you’ll be able to see four planets in the sky at once. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars are sharing the same patch of sky, offering us the chance to look out across the plane of the Solar System (the ecliptic) and view four distant worlds in the same region of sky.
– Many are calling this the November–December 2026 four-planet alignment. What’s more, over the dates 14–17 November, Mars and Jupiter are going to be so close together in the morning sky, they’ll look like a double star. That makes right now one of the best times to see the four-planet alignment. Full article: https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/saw-planet-alignment-12-november-2026
