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.

"They were intimidated by the computer"

This whole news segment is gold, honestly. Every sentence is quotable.

And we get the cop in sunglasses and a cream suit giving a press conference in a darkened room in front of BBSes and boxes of floppy disks.

Just incredible #hacker #history.

This 1985 is an important part of the “ #hacker hysteria” that started to take hold from late 1983 onwards. Cops & prosecutors in this case were not tech minded & wanted to talk to the media, a bad combination for the kids who were busted. Garbled details to reporters about Pentagon & satellites.

An #introduction post. New here, if I break a norm, please DM me.

I hate #BigTech and #surveillance and love #FOSS and #sewing. I am a non-violent #anarchist #vegan and politically engaged in #uspol and my local community. I've been a #hacker and #autodidact my entire life. I love learning. Very #queer and #transgender.

I've zero tolerance those who deny the genocide in #Palestine. I am rabidly pro #Ukraine.

I don't talk about my family, friends, work, town, or local organizing. #WeKeepUsSafe

I had the honour to be invited by @ZFAVClub to participate in an online live workshop exploring the mighty and wonderful CLI tool of the @internetarchive, in collaboration with @dweb 💕

If you are interested in data preservation and digital commons, please do watch it, as we did our best to shed some light on the most powerful yet little known features of this software.

The #InternetArchive is an invaluable resource for unlimited, public, open, and free storage for the whole Universe. It seems too good to be true, but it is!

We also touched upon the value of #FreeSoftware, #Linux, #decentralization, and #publicDomain.

Does anyone know where the first image of the hacker wearing a black hoodie over their head came about? (It's not Wargames or Hackers I checked!) #hacker #hacking #askfedi

Long before the internet, some phone networks were hackable by playing a single tone at 2600Hz.

Whistled into a phone, it could grant you unrestricted access. Do you have the vocal chops to be an old-school phone phreak?

I built a web app to test your ability to produce the legendary frequency. You won't get free long distance calls but you will get some honor in the knowledge that you could have been a cool hacker. 😎

I am sad to say that I can only whistle up to 1100Hz... But my wife (a long time woodwind player) is able to consistently get it.

Give it a try: https://phreak.kmcd.dev/
