holy fucking shit i found it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_theorem_on_arithmetic_progressions
for any two positive coprime integers a and d, there are infinitely many primes of the form a + nd, where n is also a positive integer
this has absolutely gotta be why the NSA thinks they can fix diffie-hellman by computing hard enough
The theorem extends Euclid's theorem that there are infinitely many prime numbers (of the form 1 + 2n).
1 is the infinitely repeated prime, and 2n is the ring of even numbers over the positive integers. not the same at all buddy
Since the primes thin out, on average, in accordance with the prime number theorem, the same must be true for the primes in arithmetic progressions.
do you see it now. they really think they can compute hard enough to kill diffie-hellmann once and for all

oh i thought the prime number theorem was much older. nope!
it's actually just a conjecture by legendre from 1796 which the infinite failson gauss retconned into his internal belief system:
Carl Friedrich Gauss considered the same question at age 15 or 16 "in the year 1792 or 1793", according to his own recollection in 1849.[6]
but gauss wasn't actually sure until dirichlet convinced him he must have been right--he was right this whole time, wasn't he:
In 1838 Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet came up with his own approximating function, the logarithmic integral li(x) (under the slightly different form of a series, which he communicated to Gauss).

Treasury proposes phased overhaul to recover R88bn in unclaimed retirement and other assets
Source: Sarb. The assets include dormant bank accounts, unclaimed retirement benefits, unpaid dividends, and investment and insurance proceeds. The proposal explores whether a co-ordinated national approach could improve governance,…

@pressportal Before "nationalising" unclaimed pensions, a claimant-friendly regime must be proclaimed. Currently, fund managers have the perverse incentive of being rewarded for blocking claims.
@samvie Ich glaube der Webserver ist umgefallen.
Danke dir. Sollte jetzt wieder passen.
I’ve said this before and will say it again. If you think social media is so toxic that it damages 16-year-olds then it damages everyone. You don’t magically become immune on your 17th birthday. Either ban it for everyone or not at all.

Ma maman à La Réunion ça fait des semaines qu'elle est en train de se faire menacer de formations obligatoires hebdomadaire par France Travail parce qu'elle trouve pas de taff et que ça fait des années qu'elle est au RSA.
Alors que :
• elle a 62 ans
• elle cumule les problèmes de santé et sort d'un arrêt de plusieurs mois
• elle est assistante maternelle à domicile sauf que mdr c'est les grandes vacances donc elle risquait pas de trouver des missions rapidement fin juin quand France Travail a commencé à la harceler

Here me out, strange women in ponds distributing swords as a basis for a system of government seems worth trying at this point, cos the current system just ain't working...
I'm gonna be there, the full three days :)
Especially for the talk by @julian Sat. 19:00-19:30, Theater: "SciOp and decentralized research data rescue" https://ctalx.c-base.org/fediday-2026/talk/PJCYN3/
But there are so so many awesome talks & I'm looking foward to meeting lovely people.
Would love a "hi" + chat if you're there, too :)

So great that both of you will join us for #Fediday. We'll have dedicated slot with serveral #science and #science related talks at @berlinfediday
Again, these are not serious people. But unlike the old McGillicuddy Serious Party, who set out to be a clown show for satirical purposes, groups like the Socialist Equality Group don't realise that's what they are. It's a tragic of time and energy.
So, you might ask, why have I spent all day writing about them? Good question, but this post wasn't really about the SEG. But about the manifold sources and motivations of disinfo.

As a bonus, it gave me a chance to dunk on the NZ government's self-punching dependence on tech controlled by US technofascists. As well as exposing an aspect that was new to me.
Radware, it turns out, has an Iraeli parent company;

These are not people who ought to be getting our public money. Especially while their government is engaged in genocide against their neighbours.

@andrewblasco@masto.es @vernissage @andrewblasco@luzeed.org We have fixed the issue with Account Migration, it is now enabled and we apologize for blocking you initially.
The fediverse is special because we put people first, and we admit we lost track of that while focusing so much on Loops.
That being said, the founder @dansup is focused on Pixelfed exclusively until we resolve the bug reports, and improve federation.
Take care ❤️
Pixelfed.social users: You can now migrate your followers to other fediverse servers!
If you want full account migration, that is coming later this year, and may be worth waiting for if you have a lot of content and interactions you want to preserve.
Regardless, you should have full control over where you want to make your home!
We have a ton of updates coming, and will understand if you decide to migrate, because we're always connected with #ActivityPub ❤️

J'avais acheté un petit boitier AndroidTV Xiaomi (https://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=xiaomitv) pour équiper une vieille télé. Ça marche super, c'est tout petit, ça consomme rien, c'était pas cher : Je l'avais payé 44€ l'année dernière.
Je ne le trouve plus qu'à 89€ 😭
PLUS DU DOUBLE !

Great denunciation of Thiel et al., but many such critiques of fascism miss the element of mass psychology that carries them to power. Tech is key here, not just for concentrating wealth, but because machinic social relations make us more susceptible to fascist solutionism.

Some of my #NodeRED flows have been quietly running in the #homelab for months now. Nobody touched them, nothing broke, they just do their job in the background.
Opening the flow editor again after all that time is the real experience — reading your own wiring like someone else's work, half-remembering why one node exists at all. It still runs fine either way.
@jarko I don't know anything about NodeRed. Do you use it in preference to HA for certain things? I see people mention it on the HA forum sometimes.
I am looking once more for theme ideas for Pivot to AI.
hard requirement: complete post text on the front page, with paragraphs, formatting and hyperlinks, unless it's cut off with a "Read more". In two columns.
see https://pivot-to-ai.com/ for what i mean, gotta replace that
there are many themes that don't meet this requirement. it appears rare!
anyone know one that definitely does this?
currently using Blocksy, which does it great except it also completely breaks caching, leading to excess server load when it should be serving static copies
[suggestions of "have you tried afdskjhfdsa-fdsasahfkdsajfsa instead of WP" are not the question being asked thanks]
