Re. Meta scraping copyrighted content on millions of websites, including fedi instances, to train it's AI:
https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/meta-facebook-tech-copyright-privacy-whistleblower
While mastodon.art blocks a bunch of crawlers and domains (including Meta) both at an IP level and in our robots.txt , and our instance domain isn't in the above list, unfortunately cdn.masto.host IS in the list. As we're hosted with masto.host, this is where all media uploaded to our instance is stored, and thus has been part of Meta's scraping :(

From my "Geek dates" calendar:
On this day in 1988 Dade "Zero Cool" was sentenced to not use computers or touch-tone telephones until he was 18 years old. He'd crashed 1507 computer systems.

With Hackers’ soundtrack playing in my headphones, I’m starting my journey to #WHY2025 🤟
This is also the first time I’m using an #Interrail ticket 👀
I will try to log the whole trip on Träwelling, via the nifty Träwelldroid.

"Remember back in 2023 when hackers exposed (and fixed) malicious anti-repair software in Polish trains? Well, it turns out that the manufacturer, Newag, is at it again" cc @pluralistichttps://www.ifixit.com/News/112008/polish-train-maker-is-suing-the-hackers-who-exposed-its-anti-repair-tricks
@urixturing @pluralistic @notjustbikes but those “ #hackers” were contracted by the #railwayserviceprovider, who owned the #trains, to alter the trains' #programming. They did not hack the trains, in the legal meaning of the word, 'cause they HAD PERMISSION OF THE OWNERS!
From a CBS news segment from July of 1985 discussing the busting of various #hackers and BBS operators in New Jersey.
Ouch, but also 💀
Will be uploading the entire segment to Internet Archive later today.

Hey chooms, the instance botsin.space was terminated recently, taking our beloved HACKERS BOT down with it.
But never fear. I is here.
A new bot rises from the digital ashes, almost 30 years after the movie was released. Follow it here:
HACK THE PLANET!
Never fear. I is here!

A rise in physical attacks on digital-asset holders says a lot about the trade-offs of a cashless society. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/11/world/crypto-crime-is-future/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #cryptocurrencies #money #crime #hackers #bitcoin

As an old fart in #xdev, I get asked often, mostly by young coworkers, how to get into binary exploitation in 2025. I looked around, and here’s my recommendation:
#pwncollege is a huge collection of free #lectures and practical #challenges maintained by a team of #hackers at the Arizona State University. Check it out!

The Chaos Computer Club, Europe‘s largest community of #hackers, has released a declaration on what is incompatible with the club’s values: “Those who aim to destroy coexistence in society and work toward an alternative society with principles based on chauvinism and nationalism are working against the moral principles that unite us as a club.
The CCC declares representing racism and fascism (…) to be incompatible with a membership in our ranks.”
