So I've just discovered that axed Radio New Zealand journalist and reporter, Mihingarangi Forbes, has launched a substack: https://substack.com/@mihiforbes?hide_intro_popup=1

"Il 12 agosto Trump ha firmato una direttiva che autorizza aziende private selezionate a condurre operazioni cyber contro organizzazioni criminali straniere, sotto controllo federale. Secondo il sito Politico.com le attività potrebbero coinvolgere anche le società specializzate in intelligenza artificiale, che hanno dimostrato una capacità di penetrazione senza precedenti.
L’apparato statunitense di difesa oggi prevede partnership fluide fra pubblico e privato, come l’allestimento di un arcipelago di influencer e il coinvolgimento delle aziende private nelle operazioni di guerra ibrida, rendendo sempre più tenue il confine fra policy, operazioni governative e diffamazione".
The best time to delete this post is before I cancel my eight-year-running monthly donation to the Internet Archive, which leaves you about 10 minutes or so.
i am looking for a book that i'm sure exists but i can't really describe the topic exactly.
"a history of driveways"
an architectural history of how entranceways to houses, temples, palaces, etc. places that receive people are designed based on the prevailing technology and social needs.
like how in the bible they talk about just rolling up to the city gates and yelling at whoever was there because there were like only 50 guys and if you brought 10 of them up to the wall it was a big deal. the mythology of the long rural gravel driveway headed by pa with his shotgun as representation of the survivalist american patriarch. the need for the development of the U shaped driveway to manage high-status guests with a balance of ceremony and efficiency, particularly with the rise of cars, both the vehicle and the ability to gather more high-status people in a place more frequently.
that kind of thing. what would you call that
@jonny seems like something that should have been written about in the architecture space. “Entrances” and “procession” are two terms of art that I think are applicable
It's almost as if the people who said it was impossible to recycle wind turbines were lying.
Ecological change increases malaria risk in the Brazilian Amazon.
1% increase in deforestation is associated with a 6.3% increase in malaria cases ...
@zzt @jonpsp @internetarchive We need a movie named Thank You For Prompting
...and if you’ve reached your limit... you should know that this too shall pass.
The EU is tackling the issue of youth mental health by focusing on early intervention, creating safer digital spaces, and fighting stigma.
If you or someone you know ever needs a safe space to talk, call:
📞116 111📞
It’s a continent-wide network of free, anonymous youth support lines.
You are not broken, you are human.
@EUCommission I think the EU is limited in what they can do about this in Individualität countries, therefore I appreciate that hotline as a direct service for us citizens.
I just hope, you don't try to regulate the people (like limited time on social media) instead of regulating the platform (stuff like privacy, dark patterns, gambling like dynamics, promoting destructive stuff (for people and democracy), and so on)
(I assume you talk about social media)
🥳 Just released: Auto Encrypt¹ version 6.2.1
This isn’t what I ordered!
• An order/CSR identifier mismatch now fails fast and loud with an `Order.identifiersMismatchError`
If the ACME server offers to provision a different set of identifiers than the one that we requested, we now fail immediately. Previously, we were logging a warning and validating all remaining authorisations, only to fail at order finalisation with a `badCSR` error (RFC 8555 § 7.4).
Full change log: https://codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-encrypt/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md
Enjoy! 💕
¹ Auto Encrypt automatically provisions and renews Let’s Encrypt TLS certificates on Node.js https servers. https://codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-encrypt#readme

New video: Let's Code MS DOS 0x39: Samples on the PC Speaker
The PC speaker is known for loud, harsh beeping noises. However with a little bit of trickery we can coerce it into producing almost arbitrary sounds. By manipulating it with the built in time chip, we can simulate a pulse width modulation, that allows us to play PCM digitized sounds, such as voice recordings.

RE: https://mastodon.archive.org/@textfiles/117220856033120449
I first saw this post after following a link up the thread from someone pointing out that making this request immediately after burning all of the IA’s credibility with the exact set of people who would normally donate was maybe a bad idea.
I didn’t scroll all of the way down but there were a lot of other replies of the same nature.
And now I see this post in the Trending feed and click on it. There are only three replies. I presume this means that the original poster has blocked everyone who is critical of the IA. Which sends a very strong signal that they aren’t going to engage with criticism and are just going to double down.
If there’s anything in IA that you care about, now would be a good time to make sure you have a backup.
[ I presume I will also be blocked soon, which will break the quote toot. If so, the quote is Jason Scott of archive.org asking for 18 TB hard drives because the IA is finding it hard to buy them, and not mentioning that this is because the supply chains for pretty much every component of a computer have been crippled by the bubble that the IA has just started helping to promote. ]

Pleased to announce there will be a 6th edition of the Tunnel training taking place Oct 12-15.
This course is a strong introduction to the craft of system administration atop a stack entirely free from big tech. Students are guided in the deployment of powerful and sovereign privacy infrastructure on a server all of their own, running on renewable energy in Iceland.
