Hey @oxidecomputer, here's a possible question for your FAQ Friday series: Why only sell a full rack, and do you have any plans to go smaller? Even a single Oxide sled has a _lot_ of processing power, RAM, and storage.
Prompted by a boost (by @jmc, incidentally an Oxide employee IIUC) of a post about Broadcom consolidating onto fewer VMware private cloud providers: eigenmagic.net/@daedalus/11486… I don't use VMware cloud stuff, but it just got me thinking about this question again.

#OpenStreetMap for #Portland is so extremely outdated that I discovered there used to be a restaurant called Daruma Sushi that closed in 2019 in the same space that is currently hosting Feral. Orange & Blossom was missing entirely. I tried to update both, but since #OrganicMaps didn’t let me log in, I’m not sure if my updates will sit in a queue somewhere…
In any case, #OSM is far from being a reliable #GoogleMaps replacement, unless you somehow already know exactly where you’re going 🙃

I am uploading pictures (#PanoramaX), as well of other details, in the bicycle parking theme of #MapComplete. I like to take the pictures and upload several afterwards.As sometimes I didn't remember whether a bicycle parking has already pictures or not I find useful this simple overpass(overpass-turbo.eu/)that shows you which ones in an area lack them.
I share it JIC anybody find it useful:

Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communicationsMatthew Hodgson (matrix.org)
Hyrum's Law: With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract; all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody.
This means:
- Users depend on bugs
- Implementation details suddenly are the spec
- Breaking changes are always breaking for someone
- Documentation is a suggestion of intent rather than reality

Wednesday, time to switch coffee places for diversity's sake.
lokjo.com -> just type 'coffee' and select 'coffee break' and it'll show you all places, at once, except corporations, or advertising, or 'suggestions', and without taking your data, or anything.
It just shows you all coffee places, like a fair map should do. 😊
edit: explained a bit more clear
#lokjo #fair #coffee #positivenews #EU
Ah yes, low amount of places happens sometimeswith OSM, it might be a reason for some people to help out, if they have time of course.
They are sorted byplaces who are noted as coffee-places or those who noted down they serve coffee, like some bakeries, newspaper stands etc.
If you know some places you can add them through @MapComplete or through osm.org.

“All of the knowledge to generate the exploit already exists on the internet. AI could even build it for you,” the researcher told 404 Media.Matthew Gault (404 Media)
Poland has this too, and it's not really considered a vuln here. It's just how our "radio stop" system works. It's mandated by law even if I remember correctly.
You need physical access to exploit it, and it's not much different from just pulling on the emergency brake, setting fire to a depo or something of that sort.
Via Rail proudly announce an upgrade to the awful, awful Halifax - Montreal line.
They are going to modernise it by using carriages built in 1954.
1954.
When I lived in the UK, there was a heritage steam train line with carriages newer than that.
Mind you, the village of Corfe Castle (pop 1,355) has more rail passengers in Nov and Dec each year than Halifax (pop 530,167) has in a year. #CanadaFail

#curl creator mulls nixing bug bounty awards to stop AI slop
theregister.com/2025/07/15/cur…
: Maintainers struggle to handle growing flow of low-quality bug reports written by botsThomas Claburn (The Register)
in order to claim a bug bounty post slop, you must provide a modest yet significant escrow, your missile coordinates, selfie, true name and of course steps to reproduce without sacrificing a chicken.
Most of the former are to discourage sloppers with poverty and suffering, or at least attempt it.

My gut feeling says you need a new #curl release. So here is curl 8.15.0 just for you.

EU age verifier app was released today on github, saying it'll include remote attestation
Is it just me who finds this terrifying?
No more open operating systems for your phone if you want to be able to use it for age verification. For now, it sounds like this will be for porn, but social media (hello Mastodon) recently got a "recommendation" from our government to not be allowed below a certain age
Will we need a Google or Apple attested device to get around on the internet in a few years?
reshared this
That's terrifying but also... annoyingly stupid? The Netherlands released such an app without Play Integrity years ago called Yivi (formerly IRMA).
Regardless of thoughts on the verification, we have an existing government app showing that Google Play Integrity integration is not needed.
Wrote a tiny bit about that here: github.com/eu-digital-identity…

@SylvieLorxu A bit off topic question.
Estonia has a kind of national solution for digital signature.
It is a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiDoc
It is widely adopted and accepted in the country.
I wonder what is the most common digital signature app in the Netherlands? My curiosity is closely related to the EU digital wallet initiative.
Thanks for any info.

Sweet, thanks a lot, I am very grateful!
So far, everything works well, I could login to OSM, make changes and upload them, including uploading a picture. If I run into any issues, I'll let you know.
(And the app is a big improvent compared to using MapComplete in my mobile browser, which was very slow on my phone.)
