One of the annoying things about writing a tech book is when you realize that you've had to explain a minor topic with a sentence in one section, a sentence in another, add context about it in a third... so you really need to pull these out and make a new section earlier.
Anyway, I'm #writing about ZFS stripes for #openzfsmastery

@justine tha pasta or me? 😆
Oh. My. Bob, you can override #AI guardrails with #encryption. Beautiful.
“Rony Utevsky, a researcher at security firm #Adversa, recently discovered a simple way to completely bypass that restriction. Rather than composing the harmful instruction in plaintext, the hacker encrypts it. The website hosting the ciphertext also includes plaintext instructions for decrypting the encrypted content, along with the decryption key. Using this simple sequence, #Grok then follows the command as soon as the user instructs the assistant to summarize the page. There is no warning, and no confirmation is required.”
Ahahahahahahahah. Turn them off my dudes, your techbro fantasies are disasters.
@artemis we so desperately need a better voting system than simple majority and the entrenched powers on both sides are doing everything they can to stop that from ever happening.
That is of course in addition to people doing more than voting based on what is essentially a sports team, and will never happen as long as that’s how people view voting and politics.
We just released Mastodon 4.7.0!
This version contains very few user-facing changes, but significantly reworks the backend code to improve security and support new protocol features.
You can read more about it on our blog: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/mastodon-4.7/
Note for admins: the database migrations might take a long time, this is expected (see the release notes).
Release notes and upgrade instructions are available here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.7.0

China added an entire Germany's worth of low-carbon electricity generation in one year.
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata Now they need to add the transmission lines that will be able to take advantage of it. Those are far behind ATM.

@halcy If not for cats then why in vicinity of cat??
You should not have to pay for software you don't want. Devices like laptops should be neutral in relation to the software they run:
🔸 Do not restrict users to specific software.
🔹 Transparent pricing. Consumers should have the right to decline pre-installed software.
🔸 Hassle-free refunds. Manufacturers and vendors should clearly publish the steps for requesting and obtaining a refund on their websites.
