As the powers at be have covered up this new #Banksy work, the only proper course of action by a concerned population is to spread the image as far and wide as we can before it disappears.

Two of our three servers decided to restart at around 04:00 CEST today. This caused Codeberg to be offline for several hours. We have restarted the servers and all services should be working again. We are currently investigating why these servers decided to restart themselves.

It’s less a concern that a foe would spread disinformation—“our own federal government is doing plenty of that already”—than that the vulnerability could be used to “lend plausible deniability to any legitimate videos,” EFF’s @cooperq told @theintercept. https://theintercept.com/2025/09/08/department-of-war-defense-stream-keys-hackers-livestream-hack-security/

This malware is stealthy, a warning from Apple/Google is the only definite sign you’re infected (in which case, take it offline and email info@eff.org). Otherwise, frequent reboots and system updates seem to clear Graphite. As a more extreme precaution, a factory reset protects against most malware.

Someone knocked on the door wanting to know where the black walnut tree was (someone told her about the one in a public-ish area in the neighborhood).

That was fine but then she said it was for a RITUAL CLEANSING BATH

MA'AM BLACK WALNUT CAN GIVE YOU A RASH & BLISTERS

who the hell is on TikTok telling ppl to bathe in black walnut tea 😭

actual "enemy of the people" behavior

“Social media sites and chat apps normally strip metadata by default,” which protects privacy, EFF’s Jacob Hoffman-Andrews told Straight Arrow News. ”If XChat is failing to strip metadata, it’s putting its users at risk.” https://san.com/cc/not-so-secret-xs-new-encrypted-chat-feature-puts-users-at-risk-experts-say/

“An end-to-end encrypted chat application should be architected in such a way that even the service provider, by design, cannot read the messages, even if they wanted to,” Martin Shelton, the deputy director of digital security at Freedom of the Press Foundation, told Straight Arrow News. “Right now, it appears XChat does not provide these basic protections.”

Everyone who platformed RFK Jr.'s nonsense over the last several decades was dazzled by that last name like they were a grandma with decorative JFK plates all over the place. https://www.gocomics.com/brian-mcfadden/2025/09/08

Polite notice about the UK press.

(Too polite for the client journalism it actually all is now)

#CO₂ #emissions per capita

This graph is instructive as it shows the main culprits in pumping #CarbonDioxide into the atmosphere. Historically, and now, the #UK (and #Europe), #Australia, #Canada and of course the #US have been by far the main culprits. It’s easy for deniers to point to #India and #China but they are latecomers to the problem.

Re AT Protocol "versus" ActivityPub "There does not have to be a “winning” protocol. We do not build a better open social web for everyone by fighting and arguing about protocol superiority."

Strongly endorse; collaboration on ths will work way better than competition.

For those interested, we'll be having our monthly #Libre / #FOSS / #OpenEverything virtual gathering tomorrow evening (20:00 NZST) at https://meeting.iridescent.nz - all welcome (we sometimes have folks joining from overseas - you're welcome, too)! It's a chance to meet folks and discuss topics related to technology, culture, and all things 'open' here in Aotearoa. The participants at the meeting determine the direction and content. Usually runs for 2 hrs, but you can come and go as desired.

The fact that a tech summit's primary communications platform is LinkedIn should tell you everything you need to know about its credibility. Namely, none.

thank you for humoring me on this. making nonstop videos about farm slavery & public health that "have to be fun!! or else no one will watch!" is a bit of staring into the abyss

sometimes you just wanna make something weird. as a little treat

Hey #rust community, crazy idea:

A crate registry without #Microsoft as a gatekeeper.

If I started one, would you publish your library there?

What should I name it?

Background:

you can't publish on crates.io without #Github account = #microsoft's permission.

https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/326

As we all know, Microsoft has a history of supporting #Linux and we should trust them.

pffft lol. Just no.
