New boards arrived with silk made in #gerbolyze from a sheet of patterned #origami paper. The silkscreen covers the mostly empty bottom layer, with the top silk containing all component references. The footprint in the middle is a socket for a Würth WR-WST direct-to-board connector that I'm starting to use as a much cheaper and more convenient alternative to the offerings of Tag-Connect.

In which I learned that the Linux model of how memory in C works is not identical to what the compiler thinks how memory works, and people write their thesis about a tool that proves Linus' brogrammer attitude about this never occuring in kernel code is just wrong. https://youtu.be/ad-75tViBm4

It's almost like our "journalists" print lies. 👀

@BarbNerdy@chaos.social Also von hier aus ist es auf dem Weg nach Berlin!!

(Viel Erfolg...)

@Stefan_Urbat@mastodon.social @rahmstorf@fediscience.org Also schon mal ganz viel Wassermanagement bauen, ja? Aber klingt ja überlebbar.

@rahmstorf@fediscience.org Gibt es Erkenntnisse darüber, was das für das Klima in Deutschland konkret bedeuten würde?

Das Erdklima bewegt sich gerade in einer Freakzone extrem unwahrscheinlicher Ereignisse.

Das bekommen zu wenige mit, deswegen kommen hier all die krassen Klima-Charts, die ihr sehen solltet 🧵

Krass, der Golf von Mexiko ist so warm wie ne Badewanne: "Die Oberflächentemperatur an den Keys ist diese Woche auf 38,43 °C angestiegen, was 1 globalen Rekord darstellen würde."

38,5 Grad *im Meer*? #Klimakollaps halt.

The story I wrote about a backdoor in a TETRA radio standard used by police/military/critical infrastructure for radio communications, got lots of interest yesterday, with many people calling out ETSI for keeping the encryption algorithms secret. I decided to publish my entire interview with Brian Murgatroyd of ETSI so readers can see his justifications for doing this, as well as his responses to other things we discussed. I think you'll find some of his responses surprising

@runarcn@mstdn.social I'm actually not too terrible in the openings by now. But I keep blundering the queen. See attached position values for a typical game. :) I guess there's no other way than to train seeing this.

And thanks, might come back to it!

@ko@aus.social Frankly, who doesn't. https://youtu.be/OTTlb-GAwPU

Ok, new plan to get to a rating of 400: stop blundering my queen. #chess

From my archives... this is what the command center of a mid-1990s dialup ISP looked like.

Later iterations would be more advanced, but this is how it started. A natural progression and leap of faith from the multi-line BBS it replaced.

@BarbNerdy@chaos.social Wir werden vermutlich am Samstag anreisen. Freu mich!

Kudos to all the librarians holding the line against fascism. 👏🏾

NYT:
They Checked Out Pride Books in Protest. It Backfired.

Ms. Peterson … was taken aback when she read an email last month from two neighborhood residents. They informed her that they had checked out nearly all of the books in the Pride display and would not return them unless the library permanently removed what they considered “inappropriate content.”

OpenSprinkler plus solar system installation progress. #SolarPunk

Remember me warning about Jean Pereira, an #infosec fraud? Well, there's a video detailing just how much he is overplaying his hand. https://youtu.be/duLJUpptSik

Wiz have an in-depth look at what they think happened at Microsoft over the Microsoft 365 breach.

They nail a new detail - one of the 'acquired' signing keys expired in 2021, but apparently it was still valid in Microsoft's cloud services. https://www.wiz.io/blog/storm-0558-compromised-microsoft-key-enables-authentication-of-countless-micr

Also nur mal so:
37% des #Reis Exportmarktes weltweit sind heute weggefallen als die indische Regierung einen v.a. #Dürre-bedingten Exportstop verhängte.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space 1 is the clear winner here. Decent looking keyboard, and a micro cassette!
