Update: They honored the cancellation without any issues. That's something, I guess.

Adam (@adam@social.lol) Attached: 3 images Just learned some really sad things about Ryan Kulp, the guy who makes the TRMNL. Would not have bought one if I had known beforehand.

Yikes. Gonna try to cancel my order. Interestingly, the website basically says „no refunds“, which I am pretty sure is illegal in Germany, especially since it won’t even ship for a few months, so let’s see what happens. #TRMNL https://social.lol/@adam/114959554043586459

Just re-watched Spotlight, the 2015 film about how the Boston Globe uncovered a massive coverup of child abuse by the Catholic Church. Blown away (again, like last time I saw it). Both about the quality of the movie, and about the content. The rot in the institutions, both church and the society […]

I‘m looking for artists that are working in a specific, primarily black and white style - I‘ve heard it called „smoke style“. I may be looking to #commission some artworks in this style, for a mix of slightly-dreamy character art and non-human subjects […]

The hilarious talk on SBOMs by Jasmin Mair and Lukas Mika at @elbsides 2025 is now online. Highly recommended as both an intro to SBOMs and as a fantastic example of an alternative approach to giving a conference talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xekPkVUXTk

Uh, this is great, but getting even better/weirder with the mousetrap connotations you get from reading @ifixcoinops 😅

Earlier this week, Peter Gutmann and @sten published a bombshell paper: The looked at all the reported factorization "breakthroughs" in quantum computing. And found that all of them essentially were magician's tricks, "sleight of hand".

The two reconstructed the algorithms used on a 1981 home […]

[highly reductive take about capitalism from a pinball machine repairman]

When I started work at PAPA, the games were in pretty bad condition.

PAPA had one tech, and five hundred pinball machines. Tech's name was Steve and he was a great guy and an excellent tech. You've never heard of him […]

I'm a very nuts-and-bolts kinda guy and this morning I'm struck VIVIDLY by just how weird that is

Like I read so many threads on here that go, like,

🐰 I have a problem affecting me
🦆🐇🐴🐢🐀 40 post discussion
🐹 The actual problem is capitalism AND THAT'S THE END OF THE THREAD

And like, 🐹 isn't […]

Spouse just asked me add toothpicks to the shopping list and that reminded me of a quick tip that could help you out of a jam one day

If you've got a wood screw that's stripped out its hole and won't tighten up anymore, you can put some wood glue on a toothpick, jam that in and trim off the end […]

Been at the library a lot this summer holidays, just got back now and thinking about malls and flea markets and libraries

Y'know how you've got that little crow inside you that enjoys the act of Going Somewhere, getting Bags of Shinies, then coming home and examining those shinies, and […]

aerial photo of the same pie-slice-shaped lake crossed by dozens of thin, straight strips of land with buildings

for the record it definitely really does look like that, the map isn't wrong at all. so, just the Dutch again

#netherlands

map excerpt of the Vinkeveense Plassen, with many long, thin straight lines of green land cutting across a suspiciously pie-slice-shaped pond, next to a bunch of long, thin straight lines of blue cutting across the fields

"geometry glitch in the map data, or just the Dutch again?"

I really don’t understand the push to for a computer replicate what goes on in the human brain. I mean, I know what goes on in mine and it just seems ill advised for a computer to be thinking those thoughts.

Would you like to end the constant drumbeat of ill-informed legislative proposals that threaten to destroy end-to-end #encryption in #OpenSource #software? Are you from #Europe? Can you demonstrate your expertise? Then why not apply to join the European Commission's Expert Group for a Technology […]

Looking to install two LED strips at home. Desired features:
- Controlled via WiFi or #Zigbee
- #HomeAssistant integration
- RGBW strips, individually addressable
- Either comes with a diffusor or is compatible with standard diffusors (is "not being compatible with that" even a thing?)
- Length […]

Update: I heard back from the people running the system. Apparently it isn’t a geoblock, but the specific IPs my requests were coming from were blocked because of abuse from that CDN (bunny.net). The error has been fixed. (Now I wonder if Fraenk hosts their stuff on Bunny.net, or if it’s the DNS […]

@Reemt tbh, the website mostly repeated the cell broadcast message. Not that important.

Great article. And has this gem as a closing statement: „Somewhere, a protocol is being used exactly as intended. This is deeply suspicious.“

Today in #ITSecurity gone wrong: I am in Austria as a German. I just received a notification via cell broadcast about a fire in the area. The broadcast contains a URL - but this URL is only accessible from an Austrian IP address. My LTE roaming IP isn’t […]

Nexus Mods, one of the primary hosts for modding, was just acquired by what is probably a Web3 VC company. Download the mods you like now, I guess.

Saw this on my kitchen counter today and thought „hmm, ‚Solid Porcelain‘ might be a cool design language, actually.“

Can do the same 3d effects, nice highlights / reflections, and easier to read on than the transparency of #LiquidGlass. Plus, stuff sticking […]

@PenPizzaReport As of 6:59pm ET nearly all pizza establishments nearby the Pentagon have experienced a HUGE surge in activity. Jun 12,2025 - 3M Views

the hard truth is that the #PentagonPizzaReport crushed all the experts when it came to predicting #Israel's attack on #Iran

Takeaways from @elbsides so far:
1. It's not just your one clown car supplier. God mode API access shouldn't be a standard practise, but it is. Thanks @hacksilon
2. From the hallway track: password management is still not a solved problem.

Just uplifting content 🤣😭

Over the last months, I have been listening to a bunch of podcasts that were basically interviews with people from the public sector who were talking about how the sausage is made in government - today, for example, there were two people from a think tank talking about how they lobbied the […]

Love it.
