#Reticulum 1.5.0 just released!

Get it from (nomadnet/rngit): a8d24177d946de4f1f0a0fe1af9a1338:/page/repo.mu`g=reticulum|r=reticulum ;)

(or "pipx install nomadnet" for instance...)

"This release significantly improves the core Transport handling of RNS, with a priority-based ingress queue backend, substantially improved efficiency of both data and management traffic handling, more efficient ingress/egress limiting, and a long list of other improvements and bugfixes. "

@halcy @gkrnours @aeva can confirm this was helpful and easy. I love my hacked 3dsxl.

GSoC 2026: N-way RAID 1 and RAID scrubbing

Network Portraits – solo show by Olia Lialina @GIFmodel

panke.gallery, 10 September – 3 October 2026

➠ opening: Thursday, 10 September 2026 at 19.00

Curated by Noemi Garay & @sakrowski

#OliaLialina traces networks that reflect the contexts in which the artist and her works exist at a specific moment in time. These constellations are shaped by personal relationships and social networks, technical conditions such as software, platforms, and browser infrastructures, as well as aesthetic influences. For the exhibition at panke.gallery, the works are situated within processes of contextual shifts and transformations: media remediations, jumps from one medium to another, from one platform or server to another, and across different media formats. These translations unfold between historical software and hardware installations, works using or reactivating legacy technologies, contemporary platform-based works, and physical and digital artefacts.

You can upload the dmesg of your system to help developers get an overview of commonly
used hardware and peripherals for FreeBSD. Use the curl package to upload it like this:
curl -v -d "nickname=$USER" -d "description=FreeBSD/$(uname -m) on \
$(kenv smbios.system.maker) $(kenv smbios.system.product)" -d "do=addd" \
--data-urlencode 'dmesg@/var/run/dmesg.boot' http://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi

A new Meta patent published Thursday says a system, like its AI glasses, would use facial recognition to identify people, create a series of video clips, then provide you with a highlight reel of your night.

@glyph @Netzblockierer Pardon my confusion, but I thought you wanted a ULA, which is by design not publicly addressable.

I do think you're right about the complexities of IPv6 provisioning writ large, but I also think none of that is Wireguard's fault?

@vonpearly thank you!

@hipsterelectron I'll disagree with this about constant-time programming is just obfuscated code. There are really bad implementations which only require a couple of runs and they'll leak. There are cases where you can characterize an implementation with unrelated queries (e.g. you're an authenticated user, so you can do thousands of queries against an implementation), and then use that data to attack an unauthenticated query against the same implementation in significantly less queries.

You are correct about it being an information theory in that you need to characterize a side channel leak in bits/sec or bits/query and make sure that it's an acceptable rate for your protocol/design.

And yes, most side channels are defeated by limited the number of queries that you can do. e.g. pin unlock on phones these days, enforced by the security module.

@jpm I’ve seen this explained in some datasheets (usually in the part where you’re calculating properties of the inductor), but rarely do they explain it so clearly. Usually it’s just “to prevent inductor saturation causing damaging currents through the MOSFET.”

So I guess he HASN'T been "in the lab with a pen and a pad, tryina get this damn label off" after all huh?

@TheConversationUS Does it? Does it indeed?... I wonder 🤔

@catsalad next goal: make them cry *AND* pull their hairs.
We can do that.

@Kubi I saw it and thought it was a good candidate for our long-running “Things It Took Me Too Long To Realize” segment.

I am shocked at how close the results are.
