"Recently the security researchers at Midnight Blue in the Netherlands have discovered a collection of five vulnerabilities collectively called "TETRA:BURST" that apply to almost every TETRA network in the world. These two most critical vulnerabilities allow TETRA to be easily decrypted by consumer hardware." Hahaha oof
TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) is a digital voice and text radio communications protocol often used by authorities and industry in European and many countries other than the USA.
I'll wait for a while to see if that article is considered serious, but Europeans should prepare for a radical change if AMOC collapses as quickly as advertised. More than temperatures, my main concern is focused on the drastic reduction of rainfall amounts.
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major tipping element in the climate system. Here, data-driven estimators for the time of tipping predict a potential AMOC collapse mid-century under the current emission scenario.
Small tip if you're accessing Hamnet from a VPN, through an Internet Service Provider that does DNS64 and NAT64: put the following lines in /etc/gai.conf to prefer using IPv4 for Hamnet (you'll have connectivity issue otherwise).
The Fediverse has no algorithm. I like this about it. You see what's happening as it happens.
Downside: You can miss something you care about.
It would be cool if several independent folks would write regular "You May Have Missed" newsletters about cool posts; curated by users for other users.
This lets us find stuff even when we aren't active when it was being posted or boosted initially.
Does anyone else think this could be useful?
EDIT: To be clear, I explicitly want it to be an email.
Not a list. Not an existing Fediverse feature. A goddamn email.
It definitely could be! Per-instance there's the "trending posts" that either can be allowed to freely-populate, or be moderated (and can also specify for certain folks' posts to be allowlisted to trend) but that kinda misses the mark and is only per-instance popularity. Something broader, or multiple of _those_ contributing, would be cool!
not sure how well that would scale but I do like the idea of discovering new posts/people to follow via a human-curated list vs an algorithm (especially one optimised for profit)
@Kye For a while I was literally doing digest blog posts of all the cool stuff I found in a given week and then I stopped because this is back when the Hellsite was still relevant and most weeks there was just not a cool thing to show off.
another option, but much more difficult to implement, would be to have an actual algorithm but have it run clientside and be owned by the actual user.
Alternatively a hosted client, but independent from the instance could be in charge of doing this in real time and then give you the results when you login.
i've been having a "what if" of "what if some misc fedi software had an interface for server operators to plug a custom algorithm in" but it's more relevant to a bigger concept i had of how one might design fedi software that works more like old twitter without compromising the way fedi currently works (which i think is different from what other people/tech bro types have generally proposed, ie Index All The Fedi etc)
I still want more automated pages like Explore. Make it per user instead of per instance. Make it configurable. Run it as an hourly cron job to reduce load
I would like to do something client side that mixes the existing chronological feed with the most boosted posts of the last day or last long session or something. Also maybe taking the explore tab of a few select instances.
Hmmm... You could create a list "VeryImportantPeople", so you have these on a glance - when it comes to messages from people you care about. Also, you can follow hashtags for specific topics (which can get noisy, though).
Could be a really neat community newsletter sort of thing. Small town newsletter that you pick up when you walk into the library or the foodway sorta vibe.
Funny how collective amnesia apply regarding the existence of IP68-rated smartphones with user-replaceable battery (eg. Sony XP 10, Samsung Galaxy S5, as far as I can recall).
Possible. Point is, water-resistant battery replaceable can exist. As far as I can remember, the main advantage of the current design model is devices are slimmer.
The S5 was IP67, if Wikipedia is to be believed. 🤔 Close enough!
It was the last Galaxy S-series I bought before jumping ship to Apple. The gasket on the back cover (for the battery/storage card/SIM compartment) was really neat!
I totally did not see the end of the removable battery/MicroSD coming after seeing that. 😑

mastodon, fait ta magie mon chat s'est enfuie ce matin de chez mes parents (49300, cholet) je vous mets des photos
il est gris, svelte, il a 2 ans et demi il s'apelle Cacahuète mais perso je l'appelle Chaton
@ioster mon soucis c'est qu'il n'est jamais sorti auparavant (si une fois mais je l'ai récupéré, c'était de nuit et sur le parking de ma résidence) je vis de base en IDF, et en appart j'espère juste qu'il ne s'est pas perdu et qu'il ne lui ai rien arrivé (il a tendance a être territorial et craintif)

Wrote a little something to read Host & Drive Revocation Lists from a Media Key Block. Question is: should I waste time to validate records against the public key in the spec? :3
My blu-ray drive told me it's not friend with my HCert anymore. Nevermind, I've been persuasive enough to get it to read actual data even if bus encryption is "required" :3c

Last week, the laying of submarine cable Natitua Sud has begun and should be completed with its landing in Tubuai on May 15th, should the weather be favorable.
The attackers were in thousands of corporate and government networks. They might still be there now. Behind the scenes of the SolarWinds investigation.
The remote repeater control agent will follow soon, I'm still adjusting some functions and the installer. Also the protocol specification needs to be completed and proofread.
With the growth of the regional repeater network, fellow hams asked for an easy way to control their repeaters. Here is version 0.1 of that product, which is able to manage a list of repeaters, then to send various commands (ping, change room, disconnect repeater, enable or disable repeater logic, reboot the system).
Next version will be shipped with proper privilege separation, group ACL management, and a few refinements.
Key moments: 0:00 Repeater agent running on our test stub. Network has just been cut, to show that connectivity loss can be recovered. 0:33 Repeater agent recovering its connection to the control segment. 0:39 Connecting to the management interface 0:44 Browsing through the repeater list. 0:49 Showing the repeater properties editor 1:05 Ping demo with our test laptop which is connected with user 'f4hof-s'. The UI shows a notification toast to confirm the "repeater" has acknowledged our command. 1:19 Changing conference room 1:34 Rebooting the remote system. Command hasn't been acked because the system rebooted too quickly. This will be fixed in the initial release. Please notice that the notification toast shows a warning as the command hasn't been confirmed.

Just a little WIP from my messy workshop (should see the other half of the table). Got the idea for pride month, but will probably have them in a shop earlier. Now.. what flag to create next?

Version 1 will include reboot, disconnect, change module, ping and RF kill/restore commands, version 2 will allow remote config provisioning. #hamr #hamradio #hamnet
