UNIFI, 3 hours ago, jt: WiFi Impersonation Detected , U6 Mesh detected a third-party AP broadcasting UniFi Wireless on channel 153 with a signal strength of 39.

Hey, fool, that's another UniFi access point. Come on, you should know better than that. It's on the same controller and everything. Figure out your crap!

The age-old question has plagued the tribes of men since the dawn of time. Since the first fire was coaxed from stone and the first shadow learned to move without owner. What endures, and what is merely passing?

I stand once again at the threshold of a another new year, watching mortals perform their small rituals of hope. They raise glasses, kiss strangers, make promises they will forget before the snow melts. They count time as if it were a thing that belongs to them. For me, it is only weather.

I am the undying vampire, older than men, older than the trees, younger only than the bare rocks of the mountains. I have watched those rocks split and tumble, have seen forests rise where seas once slept. I feed on the blood of the innocent and renew myself eternally, while generations flare and fade like sparks.

In medieval Hungary I was Szmilágyi the Impaler, feared in whispers and prayers. In Imperial China I reigned for a century as Sma Li the Terrible, my name carved into history by trembling hands. In caveman days I hunted my human prey, saddled upon a sabre-toothed Smilodon, the stars colder then, the nights longer.

Each new year arrives the same way - loud, hopeful, fragile. Another turning of a wheel that will never carry me closer to an end. I watch the fireworks bloom and die, counting neither seconds nor years, only faces. They will all be gone soon enough.

I am the undying nightmare of humankind. The clocks move. The calendars change.
I do not.

Today in 1931, 94 years ago: in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Juan Domingo Perón ascends to the degree of major. In 1946 he was elected president of Argentina.

"I used Claude to make 200 pull requests last month."

That's 9 to 10 PRs per work day.

We keep hearing how it is stupid and irresponsible to take changes from a LLM without careful review by experienced developers.

You can't speak in absolutes, but generally: 9 per day is a reckless amount of PRs for one person to submit. If a project team is actually absorbing this amount of change from each developer on the team, they are rapidly paving a road to hell for themselves and their stakeholders.

On the last day of the year we want to say ♥️ THANK YOU ♥️ for all your support for DAVx⁵! It's been an awesome year and 2026 will be no less for sure 😃 . Thank you for donating to our project, spreading the word and most importantly for using DAVx⁵!

(And if you already donated through our in-app badges function [only available in the Google Play version] you can now consume badges to buy the badges again if you like 🎉😁 ).

See you all in 2026!

Yllätin itseni sillä, ettei GtS:ssä ole enempää käyttöliittymää kuin ehdoton, adminointiin vaadittava minimi, ja se nojaa enemmän mastodon-yhteensopivaan apiin ja sille tehtyihin sovelluksiin.

Joten luulen, että oon nyt kiinnostunut mastodon-ios-sovelluksista joissa on päällä merkintä siitä, että toimivat myös macbookilla.

Chaos Post always delivers. 😍 Sometimes with a slight delay of 6 years.

@ChaosPost

I still find it a bit odd that Udbhav Tiwari and Meredith Whittaker (@Mer__edith) stormed off the stage at #39C3 with ~20 minutes left in their slot without answering any questions. I always think of Chaos events as being among equals, and a Q&A after your presentation is just part of that. But I guess if you are earning close to $1 million a year, you are a bit more equal than others.

I’m wondering if this was prearranged with the organizers and/or the Herold in that session.

Let's kick off #2026 with #NoBigTech

We've come across this nice SubReddit. Check it out 👉reddit.com/r/NoBigTech/

If you use a Mac computer with MacOS 14 (Sonoma), 15 (Sequoia) or 26 (Tahoe), you can maybe help me test Gajim (a cool XMPP client) for MacOS!

You can follow instructions on this page and then tell me if it's working (or not):
lithio.fr/gajim/

For now I can only build a x86_64 (Intel) dmg.

Boost can help understanding if a version built on MacOS 14 also work on MacOS 15 and 26 :D

Thanks for your help!

Hay historias que me gusta contar todos los años. Esta noche es Nochevieja, así que aquí va la de hoy.

Ok, so here is a working 40KB language model for Z80. It mght be a good occasion to put the tech under the microscope and understand it through and through.

GitHub - HarryR/z80ai: Z80-μLM is a 2-bit quantized language model small enough to run on an 8-bit Z80 processor. Train conversational models in Python, export them as CP/M .COM binaries, and chat with your vintage computer.

We've enabled SASL2 and XEP-0474: SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection on XMPP.is via github.com/unredacted/xmpp.is/…

This solves one of the most important issues mentioned in our blog post unredacted.org/blog/2023/11/wh…

What we're doing in response to the jabber.ru MITM attack - Unredacted

As you may have heard, jabber.ru, a popular XMPP service discovered a sophisticated MITM attack against their service that may have lasted for up to 6 months.

Wha?! An excellent rant from @adafruit on the prohibited items list for the NYC mayoral inauguration which oddly names Raspberry Pi and Flipper Zero devices by name, rather than general classes of devices.

There's a weird trick that people on X seem to be practicing now, where, when they want to make a reply that they posted in a thread appear to all followers, not just those who follow the thread participants, they repost the post immediately preceding that reply.

Hence the questions:

1) is it allowed to boost our own replies here, and if so, will that show them to everybody, even those who normally wouldn't see the thread? What's the best way to achieve this?

2) Will this cause other instances to fetch the entire thread from the start?
