Some interesting research from my alma mater: you can somewhat reliably transmit covert voice-band frequencies toward popular home assistant devices that are near passband cutoff freqs.

I just installed StreetComplete and I’ve already made more than 150 contributions to map my neighborhood!
It’s such a good example of an open-source and well-designed mobile app that makes it easy for everyone to contribute to the digital commons.
KiCad 7.0.5 has been released! Big thank you to all of the folks who helped get this one out the door.
YMMV, but I've always had unlimited #mobile data tethering by using #LineageOS (#GoogleFi is my current carrier, if that matters). I'm supposed to have a 5GB monthly tethering cap, but the Google Fi app reports 0B at the start of every day and does not ever appear restricted even if I exceed 5GB in one day.
@LineageOS Is there currently any traction with OEMs adopting #LineageOS as the default image within their #Android #phone product lines? If not, what are the biggest hurdles?
stmp1 SOM appeared! this open hardware module by @olimex shall serve as the BMC for Rack Reform. we'll test that with the official devkit first.
After @jacqueline told me it was possible, I tried 3d fdm printing a keycap for my mnt reform trackball. Went surprisingly well!
Getting it to fit was a bit fiddly and not the sort of process I enjoy, but it sure beats not having just the exposed switch...
Running a #homeserver with a now #postmarketos, former #android phone. It's kinda cool to "upcycle" what would otherwise be an outdated, useless device.
FYI: "[...] the new #Instagram text app will have an element of #decentralization as well. “Soon, our app will be compatible with certain other apps like #Mastodon [...] Users on these other apps will be able to search for, follow and interact with your profile and content if you’re public, or if you’re private and approve them as followers.” (Presumably that compatibility will come through #ActivityPub, which #Meta has been exploring alongside other tech companies.)"

A vulnerability (CVE-2023-32784) in the open-source password manager KeePass can be exploited to retrieve the master password from the software’s memory.
The bad news is that the vulnerability is still unfixed and that a PoC exploitation tool – aptly named KeePass 2.X Master Password Dumper – is publicly available, but the good news is that the password can't be extracted remotely just by exploiting this flaw.
KiCanvas is an open source, interactive, browser-based viewer for KiCAD schematics and boards- and now it's in 🎉 public alpha 🎉
