Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

Building a serverless, post-quantum Matrix homeserver

As a proof of concept, we built a Matrix homeserver to Cloudflare Workers — delivering encrypted messaging at the edge with automatic post-quantum cryptography.

Ich bin definitiv pro Fusion. Das sollte massiv ausgebaut werden! Auf jedem Dach, an den Balkonen, und überhaupt. Wir können diesen riesigen Fusionsreaktor, den wer-auch-immer vor Milliarden Jahren da ins Zentrum unseres Sonnensystems gesetzt hat, doch nicht auf ewig halb im Leerlauf belassen! Der liefert so viel, dass wir eigentlich keine anderen Erzeu… oh, der wird doch nicht etwa DAS gemeint haben? 🤪

Okay, so our generator's doing the weird thing again. We've all diagnosed it as a partially frozen regulator on our propane tank. What you're about to hear is AC hum recorded while this is going on. UPS's do not like what you're about to hear, almost certainly because the AC frequency is wobbling back and forth all the time. This is *not* normal!

So ginge es auch:

"Die Regierung in Spanien will den Aufenthaltsstatus hunderttausenden Migranten ohne Papiere legalisieren - und verfolgt damit einen deutlich anderen Kurs als viele EU-Staaten.
(...)
begründet die migrationsfreundliche Politik seiner Koalition mit der Gefährdung des Sozialstaats und der Rentensicherung aufgrund fehlender Arbeitskräfte und einer überalterten Bevölkerung."

Erscheint mir irgendwie cleverer...

#HardenedBSD applies the following compiler flags to #OpenSSL in the base operating system:

  1. -ftrivial-var-auto-init=zero
  2. -fsanitize=safe-stack
  3. -fzero-call-used-regs=used

The OpenSSL port (in the HardenedBSD ports tree exclusively) only enables the first option.

I wonder if the combination of these features would mitigate the OpenSSL stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability announced today. I hope to answer that question this evening unless someone else beats me to it.

#AlexPretti broke a rib in confrontation with federal agents a week before death edition.cnn.com/2026/01/27/us/…

"about a week before his death, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals."

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said that “DHS law enforcement has no record of this incident.”

It sure looks like they knew who he was, but don't want to reveal it was an #ICE #execution

It sounds like there was another ICE shooting today but there's almost nothing known about what happened.

"The individual, who has not been identified, was shot in southern Pima County near milepost 15 of West Arivaca Road at around 7:30 a.m., according to a news release from the Santa Rita Fire District. The fire department said it transported the person in critical condition."

One thing I love about being involved in my College is I get a direct line on what young people are thinking.

In my circle of 30-50-somethings, it's taken for granted that "AI" is changing everything. Some people express caution that we shouldn't even take any position on software engineering education because it will be out of date within a week.

Meanwhile, my students are telling me that in their cohort, everyone is tired of AI and wants to learn proper software engineering.

One lesson here is: do you remember how clueless your boss was about everything? Recognise when you are in the "boss" demographic, and that your breathless enthusiasm and concern may be equally misinformed.

OK, now to another issue: the synth is adding a schwa after an r when it comes before consonants like f, m, r, s. this caused words like "permite, personalizado, interface, irmão" to sound strange, so I stripped off the schwa for testing, but then the r became too weak. One solution I found is to change the schwa to the other schwa, that's ᵊ can it be done with a single rule, or I have to normalize for every consonant?
in reply to Cleverson

Tamas G

@clv1 hm, you shouldn't. you can try it this way:
normalization:
classes:
R_SCHWA_FOLLOW_CONS:
# consonants that were causing the full-schwa to sound too syllabic
# (you can expand this later if needed)
- "f"
- "m"
- "r"
- "s"

replacements:
# If we have r + schwa and the next phoneme is one of the consonants above,
# swap schwa to the reduced schwa ᵊ so /r/ stays audible without adding a full syllable.
- from: "rə"
to: "rᵊ"
when:
beforeClass: R_SCHWA_FOLLOW_CONS

One more detail: I did the following steps:
1. Add a rule using a text editor and save the file;
2. Go to the phoneme editor and save the file;
3. Now when I command the editor to speak something, it successfully takes into account the rule I've just added. However, the normalization rules list view is not updated accordingly. This issue applies to other lists like language settings as well.

Tamas G

@clv1 oh yeah that's tricky since we'd have to check whether you made manual changes outside the editor for that one, like every minute, read the file or something. I'm not sure if we can do it without you needing to quit and reload the editor, though I can do a "reload language" option in the menu that can help this. Otherwise it becomes a mess with syncing whether the file was modified or not and more like the auto-save features in word haha. Not impossible, but right now yes, it only checks it once when you arrow to the language. So actually just up/down arrowing again will reload the new one.

@clv1 Setting _isVoiced: true on a phoneme does not actually add voicing. It’s metadata. It just says “this sound may carry voicing”, but it doesn’t generate any buzz by itself. It also allows for timing rules on that phoneme (voiced things are allowed to be longer)
If voiceAmplitude is still zero, the DSP has nothing periodic to work with, so your ears hear… nothing new. That’s why changing _isVoiced on x feels like it does nothing, it kind of does nothing.
To hear a difference, you must give the phoneme a voiced source and mark it voiced. For example:
"x":
_isVoiced: true
voiceAmplitude: 0.18
fricationAmplitude: 0.55
Now you’re actually mixing voicing + noise, which is how voiced fricatives work in Klatt. The effect will still be subtle (that’s normal), especially at fast speech rates, but it’s there.

What we pay for electricity should cover proper replacement and scheduled maintenance... so, why doesn't it?

Documents show the utility has long identified Hampstead substation as a weak link in the local grid... but f*ck the anglophones—let them freeze, let their pipes burst, let their food go bad—they have insurance, so STFU, eh

An aging substation caused Montréal’s latest blackout. Its replacement is still years away! cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/co… #polQC #QCpoli #polMTL #MTLpoli #hydroquebec

they're not going to crack Signal's encryption, they absolutely have infiltrated these group chats a long time ago posing as concerned citizens trying to collect data on ICE agents and ICE activities

but I guarantee the majority of Signal users in that chat aren't using usernames, but still their phone numbers. So now you have all these contacts on Signal who have exposed their phone numbers to you, and you can look up who owns the number and start terrorizing those citizens for conspiring against ICE

oooh I guess the usernames don't protect you at all anyway

> If Signal receives a subpoena demanding that they hand over all account data related to a user with a specific username that is currently active at the time that Signal looks it up, they would be able to link it to an account. That means Signal would turn over that user’s phone number, along with the account creation date and the last connection date. Whittaker stressed that this is “a pretty narrow pipeline that is guarded viciously by ACLU lawyers,” just to obtain a phone number based on a username.

theintercept.com/2024/03/04/si…

so they'll just get your identity anyway, because we know they won't be able to guard this from the government no matter how "vicious" these ACLU lawyers think they are


Signal’s New Usernames Help Keep the Cops Out of Your Data

Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes the Signal messenger app even harder to subpoena.

@jscholes yeah, I think my feeling more is, it's not a full-time job, just something I (mostly) do after work or during my lunch when I can, else I'd risk jepordizing my job by shirking responsibilities and that isn't the way to live. So it really can't become my full-time gig unless I purposefully made it that and asked for donations, and people may carry that as an expectation on the project itself because they did so. That can get quite ugly too. Haha and thankfully we did split the displays, but I mean, both of us have full-time work so definitely not struggling with paying the house ETC. So, with that obligation burden, probably no donate button. xD
