We're thrilled to announce our next speaker batch for Local-First Conf 2026.

🎉 The first RC of @iroh.computer 1.0 is here, we made it! Yes it is real, after more than 50 releases, it is time for [email protected] Thank you everyone for making this a reality! www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-1-...

One solution is to encourage journalists & readers to create & share their own archives. We have open source tools to allow anyone to archive what they're viewing in their browser, eg: our free browser extension: archiveweb.page and Browsertrix, our hosted service, can also crawl logged-in content

Who says you need to buy new hardware? It's always a magic feeling when you can supercharge old Android-based terminals and Windows 7 machines with peer-to-peer! www.iroh.computer/blog/paycode

The reporting on OpenAI and Sam Altman I've been working on for the past year and a half, for @newyorker.com, with Andrew Marantz: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I think the NSA’s insistence on pure MLKEM in TLS also suggests the timeline is a lot shorter than we thought. To me, it suggests they have similar predictions internally. Which is a shame because we were starting to get some cool new primitives: OPRF, VRF, etc.

Over the last two years we spent tons of effort into writing a #rust QUIC multipath & NAT traversal implementation. Beyond iroh, we're now ready to share it as a building block for others to use! www.iroh.computer/blog/noq-ann...

We're hiring an Open Source Engineer! 🦀 Build features, review PRs, shape how contributors engage with Zed. Interesting problems, Rust codebase, small team, fully remote. Your work ships in days and users notice. Know someone? Are you someone? 👀 zed.dev/jobs/open-so...

taking @iroh.computer to new places, security cameras can do better, and should do better youtu.be/GKvSE2g_Yss?...

Got @iroh.computer to work on the smallest device yet. An ESP32 with 4MB of application memory and 4MB of heap. This is a horribly patched version, but nothing drastic, just reducing deps.

I remember when I made my FB account, I found it really boring and surprising that I couldn't customize my profile. I was like this is the yellow pages???? Now everything is fucking boring. And costs money.

who said the bay is dead? we're keeping the hacker vibe alive in Oakland, but this decade will be rust flavored -- with talks from n0.computer, dioxus, zed, and goose! luma.com/cyu67mpz

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

Claude: "This failure is unrelated to my changes." Me: "that's ok just fix it anyway" Sometimes it really does feel like working with an intern.

just amazing work by my colleagues at @wsj.com - a frame by frame analysis of the shooting incredible that some continue to rationalize this www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

If you don't need to fly to or within the US, you might want to hold off. "FAA reducing air traffic by 10% across 40 ‘high-volume’ markets during the government shutdown" apnews.com/article/gove...

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

Exactly! Mamdani's most "radical" proposals — free buses, government grocery stores, higher taxes on the wealthy, a huge increase in affordable housing — really aren't that radical. The centrist meltdown has to be about something else.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

@tgoerke.bsky.social hey nice to meet you!

On my way to Berlin today for local first conf next week!

The fact that the stock market swings by 1000 points every time the man opens his mouth is not a sign of a strong and healthy economy.

👇🎯 Again, your periodic reminders that it is not the 1950s anymore, the median voter works in the nontradable services sector, therefore she experiences international trade <only> as a consumer, the balance of payments has two sides, & the mercantilism is just going to make everyone a lot poorer.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Look at how X summarizes the Abrego Garcia story (remembering that he is not MS-13, or guilty of anything at all)

If any 3 increasingly disgruntled republican congresspeople are reading this, just a small reminder that enough house members can force mike johnson to put articles of impeachment up for a floor vote, and it only takes a simple majority to adopt them. Don't worry about the senate, just count to 218.

It's time for everyone to contact their senators and representatives to ask for them to submit legislation forbidding the U.S. from arrangements to hold people on American soil in foreign prisons.

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” x.com/nayibbukele/...

RFK was lead poisoned as a child

It is getting hard to keep track of all the ways this administration is putting people’s lives at risk

As a chronically anxious perfectionist, I always feel that I come up short, that I could & should do more & be better. I've always envied my husband who just *does not* do this. Last night, (after 15 years of marriage), he explained his secret: "It's "W.A.R"" he said, "Wins Above Replacement." 🧵

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

With all due respect to my British colleagues, the problem of personal #data is not uniquely bad if it's #China that gets it. Losing control over your date to any sufficiently powerful entity is bad, and it's probably worse for your (western) life if say, the insurance industry, gets it.

This is part of the Project 2025 plan. If you want to see the future of academia here, see how Victor Orbán dismantled the university system in Hungary. Inform yourselves. The brilliance of this as a specific point of attack is frightening, and it is effective. It has to be resisted now, not later.

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

My dad and I just sat on the phone yesterday discussing the insanity. We know what we saw. What we all saw. Watching people spin it in real time left him speechless. I could just repeat "We know what we saw." Image of Musk's second Nazi salutes from alternate angle for clarity.

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk's trans daughter, is absolutely torching him on Threads (yes, this is her, she confirmed with video). You absolutely love to see it, except for the fact that it's not happening on Bluesky.

Zuck pushing back on the bus-adjacent Sheryl Sandberg story wherein she was blamed for Meta's DEI efforts. So the followup question is: Given his recent statements and policy changes, does he still think employees should bring their whole self to work?

Yes, the " masculine " thing to do is shirk your responsibility and blame it on a woman who isn't at the meeting. And you wonder why they hate us.

What Mark is doing now to trash her legacy completely — he had also previously blamed her for all manner of shitty actions that were entirely his doing — is heinous. He is a small little creature with a shriveled soul to do this to someone who was a key part of making him so rich & powerful.

And while Zuckerberg throws his former COO, Sheryl Sandberg, under the bus, Miller basks in Elon's warm embrace www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...
