I've seen a number of toots today advising people against scanning random #QRCodes because they can be used in a number of malicious ways.
There are a number of legitimate ways people can use such codes to trick others, and it can require some deeper understanding of how systems work to avoid them. For that reason, I'm not going to contradict that recommendation, but I will add to it.
QR codes are usually just URLs encoded in a visual, machine-readable form, so they aren't necessarily more dangerous than a link. The danger comes from the fact that most scanner apps will directly open whatever URL you scan without giving you the opportunity to consider whether that's a good idea.
You can reduce the risk of scanning such codes by installing a better app which requires manual interaction to open URLs after decoding them.
For android users I recommend "BinaryEye", since it's open-source, ad-free, and has a bunch of other useful features.
Its github page links to both F-Droid and the play store:

I just released version 0.4.1 of #rsop, a stateless #OpenPGP ("SOP") CLI tool based on @rpgp:
This release adds support for the 'revoke-key' command.
For more on #SOP, see datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft…
Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface
This document defines a generic stateless command-line interface for dealing with OpenPGP messages, known as sop. It aims for a minimal, well-structured API covering OpenPGP object security.IETF Datatracker

There is some kind of issue with my Whatsapp ("Waiting for message, this may take a while" and my messages not sending), so I've been using @matrix with a couple of people, and it's working great. Stuff like location sharing just works, and my favorite different feature is that you can react to a post with multiple emoticons.
It looks like Whatsapp has some kind of key exchange error. I'm not saying matrix never has that (although I've never had it), but it tells you what the error is and gives you tools to diagnose/fix it. But Whatsapp is "User friendly", so it just tells you to wait forever.
There are many “what should we do next” thinkpieces, but this one is mine.
If you want an abstract summary, the idea is “we need to run a year-round parallel campaign apparatus that just introduces people to progressive ideas by making their lives better in whatever ways we can”.
That is a staggeringly huge project and if it does even happen, I can only be a tiny part of it, so I will need your help. Contact info is at the end of the blog post.

Subnetting can get ...weird. In a previous life I was a CCNA instructor, and subnets/IP were always the worst topic to cover: either it clicked immediately or it took a whole week.
Let me know if any particular thing is holding you up, I might have an analogy or something to help.

(we completed the puzzle! XD)
Still a very cool idea by @pietervdvn to make it
reshared this

If you make your own puzzle map with it, I'll be claiming tax though: you'll have to send me a picture of the end result ;)
