The Conscience of a Hacker, also known as The Hacker Manifesto, turns 40 today! Written by Loyd "The Mentor" Blankenship, its spirit still resonates with hackers and makers everywhere. A cornerstone of hacker culture. phrack.org/issues/7/3 #HackThePlanet #HackerManifesto

"Tunbridge Wells is without water..." Guess that name was a sodding lie, then...

How did the cyber criminal get away? He ran somewhere...

I realised, of course kids can understand quantum... Assume ‖Gender‖²; if a kid asks their mum a question, ans yes/no are equally likely. That's superposition. Once they get the answer, it won't change. That's measurement. If they want a different answer, they ask their dad. That's entanglement.

Was this inspired by a monoidal category, or something? www.bbc.com/news/article...

This story from @lorenzofb.bsky.social is absolutely wild. Totally worth a read! techcrunch.com/2025/10/21/a...

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

I guess he's posting from inside his dil fridge.

This is the funniest thing I've seen just before having to take my ibuprofen...

I'm sure this is a totally normal key rotation... my.f5.com/manage/s/art...

Lectures, music, art, punk: Join us at the 39th Chaos Communication Congress and please submit! The deadline for all submissions for the stages is October 24. #39C3 will take place from December 27 to 30 www.ccc.de/en/updates/2...

The government bailing out JLR will send a strong signal to e-crime groups to retarget to the UK.

Tired: AI slop from LLMs Wired: discontent creators

Extremely offended by a spider spinning its web across an abandoned project that I've been planning to work on any day now actually

Hi, I am here! Will mostly post about Quantum Foundations/Computing and Quantum Music.

A lot of people seem to live by the maxim; "it's not basic if I have complicated feelings about it..."

my mom to my kid: have you ever actually dialed a phone? my kid: yeah! I did it in a museum 💀

When I was in undergrad our engineering building had old computers set up in a little museum/history section and they included the first Macintosh from 1984

We also made @wired.com ! www.wired.com/story/fully-...

Then to wrap up, @largecardinal.bsky.social and his jolly adventures being a diamond consumer that excites things with many legs in order to create a hackable quantum sensing platform based on diamond nitrogen-vacancy centres. MIND f**ken blown. Badge lyfe isn’t about blinky lights anymore

🚀 Call for Challenges: Quantum Village Q-CTF @ DEF CON 33 ⚛️ Quantum Village is back at DEF CON 33 with our Quantum- Capture the Flag and we’re looking for Quantum Quizmasters! 🔗⤵️ #QuantumVillage #DEFCON33 #QCTF #HackTheQubit

What happens when quantum tech meets 30,000 hackers in Vegas? 🎙️ On the latest Post-Quantum World, host Konstantinos Karagiannis previews DEF CON 33 and the fourth year of Quantum Village with guests Mark Carney & Victoria Kumaran. #QuantumVillage #DEFCON33 #QuantumTech #PostQuantumWorld

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Fuck-this...

Amazing... Manipulating your paper so it lets a lazy reviewer get a positive review from an LLM! www.straitstimes.com/singapore/ac...

Me and my bsky bubble

V10 OAuth & OIDC - Modern auth done right (thanks to all who pushed for this!) V11 Cryptography - A complete rewrite that @largecardinal.bsky.social , Gabriel Corona (randomstuff) and the crypto crew absolutely nailed

@largecardinal.bsky.social and I have been busy with CrytoMON on both the UX (which I've done) and on parsing on the backend and QUIC support (Mark's wizard-like hands). We hope to get the UX ready for love soon, but until then, we have passkey support and thanks to Vite, a sexy UX

for comparison this is what using CFG (a pretty ubiquitous inference steering method) does to the same setup

Factoring RSA 2048 bit keys in <1M qubits from Google... Providing there are no errors, this takes the required factoring estimate down to ~2^19 qubits. We were at 2^10 in Dec 2023, so assuming it doubles every year from now (we are a year behind), 2035 looks more and more reasonable.

Rumour mill says big quantum news may be afoot... Commitment: cf8afc09a82c129969209e177b72bea679d9c857ecd2780a7eae24631eebe970

🛠️⚛️💎 Still Time to Get Involved with Quantum Village @ DEF CON 33 💎⚛️🛠️ QV returns to DEF CON this Aug 8-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. Feat. The Quantum CTF w/ real QPU access, hands-on hardware, open source sensing, policy, and creative coding...

PQC for PKI is a bold new volume of horrors being written live in the Catechism of the Crypto Church.

🛠️  Quantum Village is gearing up for DEF CON 33 and we need YOU!  Are you passionate about quantum tech, security, or just love being part of the action? Join us as a volunteer and shape the future of quantum hacking. Build, teach, create, and be part of something truly next-gen.

💎 Meet Uncut Gem — our first fully open-source, hackable quantum sensor! 💎 We see talk about opening up quantum tech and making it accessible —so we did something about it. Say hello to a sensor built to empower exploration, lower barriers, and bring quantum sensing to all 🔗⤵️

It's out!! Very proud to have worked on this, and if you want to get into quantum sensing and help improve and open source project, THIS IS FOR YOU!

If the commentators don't start with "CUMMING AT YOU LIVE!" they have wasted the opportunity of a lifetime... www.vice.com/en/article/m...

We are very excited to be presenting the Quantum Village Open Source Quantum Sensor at the Imperial College Robotics Forum/Postgrads Meet-up next Monday! @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

What in the millennial melancholy noughties nostalgia nut-fest is going on?

Our CFP is up!

Twice in the year, at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the sunrise shines right along Ingram Street, turning the Iron Duke, his steed, Copenhagen, and even his traffic cone hat, into a shadowy work of art against the great doors of GoMA. Pic: u/Hoyerman68

Fun Fact for the day - with Google and CloudFlare pushing hybrid post-quantum key exchange by default, and with chrome and Firefox supporting it by default since December, around 1/3 of the total traffic we are analysing w/CryptoMon from regular operations is now PQC secured by default! 🚀

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries. We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district. Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinfo...
