BREAKING:

After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back.

And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post.

They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately.

Washington Post Ordered to Reh...

@SteveBellovin @joebeone @paul_ipv6 aha! I do have it on @internetarchive as a single audio file plus a slide show. https://archive.org/details/RTFM-Uni-Stoll Now in state-of-the-art mp3 format!

@SteveBellovin @joebeone @paul_ipv6 looks like he’s wearing a pocket protector in that talk. Now, that’s class! I see he hasn’t slowed down at all … I recorded him in 1993.

Cliff Stoll gave an incredible DefCon talk 40 years after finding the $0.75 accounting error that started cyber defense, using 1987 NSA transparencies, and sharing how he traded Saturn photos to an operator for call data. A true legend.

Repetindo porque não funcionou da outra vez:

Tá, deu de frio, né?

EFF and 7 civil society groups have written to a UK police force calling for an immediate halt to its planned rollout of live face recognition. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/08/eff-and-civil-society-groups-call-nottinghamshire-police-halt-live-face

@lauren I think that is bullshit. I spent decades in data centers and there is zero reason server racks, and customer cages have to be on purpose built land. Renewable energy sources are options. And saying the only way is to burn fossil fuels is nonsense.

Boston area peeps: Now is a great time to get rid of that Ailanthus tree that you've been meaning to cut down.

The spotted lanternflies are arriving and they're going to turn the area under that tree into a black, sticky/slimy mess. The lanternflies just *adore* Ailanthus, and as they feed on it, they poop out sugary sap onto everything below. Some kind of black fungus then goes nuts over it.

(They eat other stuff too but it's not as intense. And Ailanthus is itself invasive.)

Original Star Trek was notorious for the ‘The Enterprise is the only star ship in range of this thing, even though the thing is near the heart of the Federation’ trope. And the ‘we are exploring months of travel beyond the border of the Federation but we popped home for lunch’ trope.

The amount I have to pay to continue to own the car I already own is less than the lifetime costs of my bike, which ive had for more than 20 years.

Whoever made this is a genius.

@okturtles

is there a nice library (transport agnostic) that runs in a web browser where i can make a ballot, cast votes and see results ... some sort of nice api's and whatever data needs to be exchanged is essentially exported and then sokebody else can receive the data and call e.g. `api.receive(data)` to advance their local view?

that way ppl could use it to build all sorts of apps that leverage this and use their own transport protocols.

that would be a really useful building block

@catsalad This dough's gonna make for such a fine bread

@BioMan @techtakes But singularitarians *are* fundamentalist Christians, just a heretical variety who ditched the god/jesus/bible bits but kept the rest of the eschatalogical structures intact.

Perhaps the bulk of SdFat.h's implementation of Microsoft's FAT filesystem is in the appropriate Volume superclass, which for FAT32 is split between deferring to a FatFile class & its FatPartition superclass.

That FatPartition superclass has a method for allocating new runs of blocks within a preconfigured range, by wrap-around iterating over all free blocks in the allocation table until it finds a free one. It may update the lower-bound of the range to save time next time.

2/5?

@p2panda Great! Glad to see more projects adopting this stance :)

Shout out to my bike, which costs nothing to own, nobody can tell me I can't ride it, and there is no legal mechanism for the state to take it ransom.

@lowqualityfacts You mean the Dumbfuck Nazi dipshit F_Elon Muskolini, X Porn Artist and Swasticar maker?

Sure, I can lend a hand, happy to help - and pardon my French.
