Everyone thinks, haha, these squirrels don't even remember where they hid 90% of the nuts they store for the winter they are so dumb, but nobody ever asks if the squirrels might be out there thinking, my ancestors planted this forest that provides for us all, and my children's children will know the same of me.

This doesn't look like a good situation for the Matrix ecosystem. We've seen how this ends up too many times before. https://matrix.org/blog/2023/11/06/future-of-synapse-dendrite/

I expect #Apple to rush a fix for this issue, as it only affects iOS 17.1 & I believe the beta for 17.2 as well. Prior iOS versions are not affected (just the 17 series apparently).

Folks with an #iPhone or #iPad (running the latest OS) should be wary of potential #Bluetooth attacks from anyone using a #FlipperZero device.

As the CSAR (Chat Control) European regulation tried to mandate scanning of private messages, another European regulation threatens the security of online communication.

335 experts and several NGOs have signed an open letter against the revision of the eIDAS regulation. It would force web browsers to accept root certificates mandated by EU governments, giving them the technical means to intercept encrypted communications.

The #antisemitism directed at American Jews isn't only vile but it's also totally misplaced. Overwhelming majorities of us oppose settlements and favor the creation of a Palestinian state. Most of us hate Bibi and this Israeli gov. Israel ranks as our 10th most important issue, out of 14, in J Street polling.

It's fucking maddening. But I guess it's always the case that "dumb bigot" is redundant.

"Let's make an audio tape and a floppy disk from scratch!" - part 7.

In this chapter: gamma-Fe2O3 synthesis (finally?!), floppy prototype 4 and 5, gamma-Fe2O3 audio tape, notes on longevity of tapes produced this way. Stay tuned, unroll the thread!

It is probably going to be the last report for the time being, as I am convinced that my little experiments prove that an audio tape and even a poor diskette-like storage can be made with things that are more or less commonly available or easily obtainable in a craft supply store. If I were a real tape/disk inventor, this where I'd stop doing crazy experiments, and start to work on replicating the results and gradually improving them.

A lill while ago, I found out that I had been disconnected from a friend of mine, as the server I was on, had defederated from the server her was on. Thing is, I had no idea this had happened until he contacted me elsewhere.

I started toying with the idea of making a lill tool to notice when these things happened.

Trunkfriends is the result of this idea.

An alpha version, that I have been using a bit now and seem to work quite ok, will be put out next week.
