I find nothing more frustrating than blogs which provide no #rss feed. Am I supposed to setup a cron job to remind me to read your blog?!

The process of converting my large Wimshurst machine into a Bonetti machine begins. Only 64 more to go, plus cleanup of the glue afterwards

I had to code this one myself to convince myself it was real. The yellow and blue "busses" are moving smoothly at exactly the same speed.

More than 75% of software I run on my phone is FOSS from the fdroid store. Google will not be able to enforce their policy on me because I run #grapheneos, however the FOSS ecosystem will die. Maybe the time is right to accelerate vanilla Linux on mobile phones. Looking at #postmarketos

To think -- some of us spent all that time and effort in school studying science, history, and math. We thought deeply about ethics and society.

Now, our government and businesses are run by the kids who cheated on all the exams. Our law enforcement and defense are run by the kids who skipped class to drink behind the bleachers. And our health care and science policy are run by the people who ate the crayons.

Try modern #Desktop #Linux they said. It will be fun they said.

Remarkable investigation into Telegram by IStories (in Russian):
https://www.istories.media/stories/2025/06/10/kak-telegram-svyazan-s-fsb/

English version by OCCRP:

tl;dr:

👉 Telegram uses a single company with ties to the Russian FSB as their sole infrastructure provider, globally.

👉 Combined with a cleartext device identifier Telegram's protocol requires to be prepended to all encrypted messages, this allows for global surveillance of Telegram users.

I am quoted in this story.

"Switzerland Now Requires All Government Software To Be Open Source"

Not trusting or relying on the Microsofts of the world anymore.

Sturmer believes everyone will benefit from this regulation, as it reduces vendor lock-in for the public sector, allows companies to expand their digital business solutions, and potentially leads to reduced IT costs and improved services for taxpayers.

@mwl I'm reading your #netflow book and I'm still confused. Cflow.pm is not packaged on #OpenBSD and was last updated in 2005. People seem to be using nfsen. Would you still recommend flow-tools + Cflow.pm for the collector?

Bill McGuire at CNN (shortened): " I’m a climate scientist. If you knew what I know, you’d be terrified too".

"We’re experiencing, in our lifetimes, a heating episode that is probably unique in the last 4.6 billion years."

"In fact, this isn’t a matter of scaring people, but of informing them. As a climate scientist, it is my duty to tell you."

"Everyone has the right to know the facts so as to provide the opportunity to act upon the reality of what we are doing."

Hey @tailscale, is it possible to aggregate tailscale connections (say MPTCP) to increase bandwidth? I have a device which has very poor ADSL and 3G connectivity and it would be great to aggregate both connections to the mesh!
