5200 - The Hacker Biannual

I’m representing the 2600 community on bluesky, since there wasn’t one and they told me directly they never planned on there being one.

I reached out to them prior to starting the page and literally asked them if they wanted an invite code, they declined and told me “if you want us on platforms we aren’t on, feel free to create a presence”. Nothing I have posted has been out of the spirit of their other social media pages.

LLMs and ML are going to have privacy issues unless they can figure out how to avoid being used by spammers and data miners.

To be as transparent as possible with you all, @2600.com is claiming that this account is “misleading” or “impersonating” them. I am not part of the capitalist buz that 2600.com is, however neither are the existing 2600 social media pages. Until they reach out I’ll continue bringing you content.

Is your extension ready for Firefox for Android? Be part of the launch of a new open mobile ecosyste... During the release cycle of Firefox 120, we’ll begin to see the emergence of dozens of new, openly available extensions on Firefox for Android on ...

So in 2033 we can expect this on the iOS ecosystem. Either way this is great news. What extensions is everyone looking forward to having on their phones?

@2600.com you guys gonna post content or just try shutdown any efforts to actually continue the brand?

Interesting, since the last I checked with Andy he literally told me to open an account on a platform if I wanted 2600 content on it.

I guess despite being told 2600 wouldn’t be joining bluesky, someone with access to the domain decided to register an account. @2600.com last I checked there were at least two Facebook pages run by two different groups of people. Hmu if you have questions.

Not quite a pay phone but it has a dial tone.

We have few options for watching content online, rumble is a questionable platform, and YouTube is horrific beyond comprehension. TikTok is owned and controlled by the CCP. What do we think about front ends that access content while cutting out the tracking and algorithms giving you control back?

Undermining Democracy: The European Commission's Controversial Push for Digital Surveillance – Dan... Update: after this opinion article appeared in de Volkskrant, X/Twitter censored my account on their platform. My account @DannyMekic and tweets can now no longer be found via the X search engine. So ...

@dannymekic.bsky.social has been banned and his tweets deleted by X/twitter after publishing a paper on the globalist organization’s, The European Commission, efforts to drastically undermine privacy and potentially democracy as we know it.

Opinion: The End of Copper Wire Landline Service Is Not Progress The reliability and security that came with copper wire phone lines cannot be replaced by internet-based phone services

We will soon realize how big of mistake giving up circuit switched telephones and copper telephone service really was.

Report: majority of carbon offset projects globally are “likely junk” Most environmental projects used within the carbon market to offset greenhouse gas emissions seem to have “fundamental,” report finds.

So basically we found a new way to line to pockets of CEOs with public funding. Very progressive.

We never forget. Netgate/pfsense fucked over the open source community, they proceeded to act like a bunch of amateurs when their open source code got forked. They are now a bottom rate firewall appliance vendor clinging to relevancy with their community edition.

When is going to be clear which accounts got flagged by what auditor for various content moderation flags?

HSHS Sr. VP/CFO Leaves Thursday Under Unknown Circumstance Amid Fall Out of Cyberattack An area hospital system has lost a top executive as it continues to deal with a cybersecurity attack and system-wide outage. The State Journal Register reports that Kimberly Hodgkinson, senior vice…

Interesting timing on this one, I wonder if it’s related to the breach and if so why it’s a CFO that’s taking the hit. Wonder if their Infosec budget got cut recently?

Last week WHO held its Traditional Medicine Global Summit. Unfortunately, claims of being “evidence-based” aside, the conference followed WHO's usual pattern of being propaganda for "traditional medicine." https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-world-health-organization-promotes-quackery-yet-again

@gorskon.bsky.social when you search for “Evidence Based Medicine” this is the first thing bluesky populates.

Can you post an open link to this?

For those of you in the path of Idalia, remember to stay safe and evacuate early if it’s suggested. Consider a radio for situational awareness and passing of crucial information. www.hwn.org will be available and monitoring the situation. Florida also has www.sarnetfl.com which is a great system!

OpenTF: Disgruntled HashiCorp Rivals Threaten to Fork Terraform Interestingly enough, the group is not calling for an immediate fork but just that "HashiCorp to do the right thing" for the open source community.

Apparently more and more companies are moving to BSL, if this defies the spirit of open source software, does it keep with the intent? With Terraform, I think the response from the community is clear.

What should a company’s responsibility be to an open source project it uses to profit?

@official2600.bsky.social snapped this in Twillingate, Newfoundland and thought you might enjoy.

RING TONE??!?

Are you a software type who really doesn’t understand cgroups, namespaces, netlinks? Are you a network nerd who doesn’t understand the value of python venvs compared to docker or VMs?

Fuck it, let’s muddy the waters further. Allow me to expose you to: microVMs!

You all love cyberdecks, but how many of you have found the deep love for ham radio?

Microsoft is bringing Python to Excel Python code will run on Microsoft’s Cloud.
