Updated #sailfish to 5.0 on my #xperia 10ii. Seems to work and now microG also. However the #jeep app still doesn’t log in. It doesn’t crash anymore but then just states login error after giving credentials. The network is a bit iffy so will need to investigate further. Also #aurorastore got an […]

In the last few months, many people have called on the EU to start supporting open alternatives to US-owned social media sites. The thing is: The EU has been doing that for some time already. It has financed, among others, ActivityPub, Mastodon and PeerTube. For @netzpolitik_feed, we spoke to […]

I'm excited to share CVE Crowd's Top 5 Vulnerabilities from February 25! These five stood out among the 352 CVEs actively discussed across the Fediverse. For each CVE, I’ve included a standout post from the community. Enjoy exploring! 👇 #pentesting #appsec #infosec #cybersecurity […]

Hi everyone. It’s a new month and here’s a new plea for you to support your fediverse instance if you can and they accept donations. My thanks to all that do, and also my thanks to the many people that make the fediverse tick.

Remember those posts on how Mitre declined assigning a CVE for an IoT exploit I identified and disclosed here a bunch of months ago? It turns out Mitre did change their minds after I had explained how it could be exploited and thus it did get published through the CVE process after all. Just […]

No, there's nothing in #firefox' new ToS that has me change browser, yet. The edits might mean things could change in the future, but any switch will be as easily made then as it would be now.

This is why we Mastodon and not #bluesky. An american based VC owned company will always jump when Musk/Trump tells them to Move your account to Mastodon, enable the bridge and tell your Bluesky followers to follow that if they insist on staying behind […]

Dear @protonprivacy "We're consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit" Where do you think your staunchest supporters are today? /Proton Visionary that doesn't use Reddit for reasons (quote from the account info […]

I'm with @gregkh on this: all Open Source projects should become CNAs. Or team up with others to do it.

I often see people recommending Signal for communication. The difference between #signal and #matrix is that if a country implements legal backdoor requirements Signal will leave that market. That means no more app downloads and (I assume) IP blocks on the server. Matrix ... will just keep […]

After having learnt that Youtube supports #rss I just used the freedom of Unix cli to install feed2exec, wrote a three line script in addition to my existing summarize.sh glue and edited crontab. Every night I'll now get AI transcribed and summarized posts to a Matrix channel on my server of a […]

I've moved from Github to @Codeberg Thanks to the built in migration support that was quite painless. Now to update my Github repos to mention they're archived and where to go instead ... https://codeberg.org/troed

@karlemilnikka fyi - whisper-modellen för svenska som Kungliga Biblioteket släppte gör ett suveränt jobb med er pod! :D Sen gör DeepSeek ett väldigt bra jobb på att sammanfatta - inkl. översättning till engelska. Allt lokalt så klart :P (Mitt summarize.sh-projekt)

"no UK customer data stored on iCloud - Apple's cloud storage service - will be encrypted, making it all accessible by Apple and shareable with law enforcement, if they have a warrant." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgj54eq4vejo

Nothing is free. If we want great stuff, we all need to pitch in in whatever way works for us. I consider #matrix to be the best realtime chat protocol available - and it's my hope to see governments mandate it for all communication. With that said: "If you are an organisation building on […]

Great analysis of common environmental arguments I often hear against using AI. No matter what your current take is on that issue, it's worth a read […]

New #zest release: CRT, reset, networking, bluetooth (and other stuff). Enjoy! https://zest.sector1.fr/posts/release_20250216/ #atari #atarist #fpga #retrocomputing #retrogaming

I'm going to the leetest of all Atari Scene parties again this summer - Sommarhack. 4-6th of July, in the absolute middle of nowhere in Sweden: https://sommarhack.se/2025/ I'll absolutely try to have something to release as well! #atarist #demoscene #sommarhack #sommarhack2025

#whitehousewash My change-detection just caught something big: dei.gov got registered around one week ago - for some days it was empty. Than a long list appeared, which quickly got password-protected; see screenshots. #dei

A lifetime ago the album "Introducing Niels" was released by #ytcracker, produced by my good friend and #demoscene crew partner @amplitudeproblem (7an of SYNC in the #atari scene). That album has a certain feel to it in today's environment, wouldn't you say? […]

ICYMI - we need to keep Mastodon secure, and to help everyone to enjoy the latest improvements. We support older releases for fixed periods (main release version “minus two”, for six months after release of latest; so 4.1.x ends 6 months after 4.3 is released) […] [Original post on macaw.social]

I think there's a general need for education regarding influence operations (and my focus is on those by Russia) here on the fediverse. 1) No, Russia isn't just pushing right-wing agendas/topics. The _stated_ purpose, from 1997 IIRC, is to sow division in the west. That means that there's […]

The world famous successor Pågadata to the world famous Gubbdata copy party moves to the world famous location of Teckomatorp this year! 1st to 3rd of August. An eight minute drive from my place (and currently I even own a house in Teckomatorp but that's hopefully sold long before then ... ) - […]

Elon Musk and his _not security cleared_ henchmen gained access to _security classified_ data in US government databases. ... and you still believe US cloud servers are suitable for your business or government data? This must be met with immediate action. ping @EUCommission #eu

New release for my #zest free/open source Atari ST implementation on FPGA! With a completely new user interface, and many fixes and improvements. https://zest.sector1.fr/posts/release_20250202/ #atari #atarist #fpga #retrocomputing #retrogaming

Always nice to see your game shown on a large youtube channel 😅 youtu.be/2yENQKF62iI?...

This is a public service announcement to **never** ever use Oracle

A few days ago, a client of mine asked me to install an open-source software (which I won’t name for now). The software has only one official installation method: Docker. This is because, as they themselves admit, it has a huge number of dependencies - some quite outdated - that need to be […]

I'm still stuck on getting OpenWRT onto TP-Link Deco M9+ v1 btw. The difference between v1 and v2 (which another person has up and running) is in the v1 using an eMMC. If anyone here has experience in figuring out this type of error (followed by I/O errors) after otherwise having successfully […]

The CEO of Apple and the CEO of Google were at Trumps inaugeration. I haven't seen if anyone from Microsoft was there, but they at least paid the $1M tribute. Now Facebook (the CEO of which also was at the inaugeration) has started labeling groups and posts about "Linux" as […]

This is the next battleground. I hope all #mastoadmin moderators are on their toes. "The narratives propagated by these accounts are consistent with previous Doppelgänger activities. They aim to undermine support for Ukraine, sow discord within German politics, and incite gender-based […]

I'm starting to see a bit of a weird take on the DeepSeek #LLM ("AI") released by a Chinese company. This is not "AI bubble failing". It's more "we've found one of the many optimizations we know must be there on the way to human level intelligence (AGI)". Those who still believe LLMs are […]

Has @Kagi stopped sending subscriptions money to Putin yet? They know full well this is what they're doing, actively avoiding sanctions by routing it through Kazakhstan. #Kagi

I don't expect an #LLM to produce perfectly working programs from a prompt. I mean, I've been programming for close to 40 years (and I'm a fully degreed Software Engineer) and I don't do that. I expect them to be already quite close to junior developers _if_ they go through the full […]

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer on the @securedrop team at @freedomofpress. SecureDrop is open source whistleblowing software. The project is at a critical inflection point as we get ready to build the next-gen version based on a modern cryptographic protocol. 100% remote, full-time […]

Don't forget that we can enjoy this billionaire-proof social media thanks to people hosting us out of their own pockets. Check in with your server admin to see if you can help. If you're on IOCX, @seb has a donation page here: https://buymeacoffee.com/iocx

I'm currently (together with meshing) getting OpenWRT up and running on the TP-Link Deco M9+ devices. I'm on the v1 hardware, he's on v2. The v1 has an 8MB SPI-NOR plus a massive 4GB eMMC while the v2 has a single 128MB NAND. I'm having issues with the eMMC and this is a post looking for help […]

If you've missed it, Chris "The Brain" came out with part 6 in his ongoing series of a Theory of Everything (although I believe he doesn't want it to be seen as that). If you haven't seen the other five, I do recommend you start there. A crank? No, not at all. This whole thing strikes me as […]

Wanting to ban X because of its danger to democratic societies but arguing for not banning TikTok is a pretty weird take. One of my kids went down the TikTok algorithm rabbit hole and suddenly argued for some quite horrible takes on the world that were very far from their upbringing and […]

Random story Friday: Back in 1993 Atari unleashed the 64 bit games console Jaguar onto the world. As one of the somewhat more public Atari fanboys in southern Sweden, I was asked if I wanted to help tend to the booth where it was going to have its Swedish launch at the Malmö convention center […]
