For those of you worried about the exposure of the UK state to the activities & money of Palantir, here's a diagram from The Nerve that is going to do nothing to reassure you at all....

For more details see the investigation published today by The Nerve.

Follow the link in the main post for the web-version of this digram which I am hoping will be machine readable... if it is not please accept my apologies as this diagram is just to complex to try and describe here.

EXCLUSIVE Nerve investigation finds Trump ally Peter Thiel's surveillance firm has won at least 34 contracts, including management services for Britain's nuclear deterrent, with MPs warning of 'gaping vulnerability' as US president threatens Nato all…

Every year, I share the memory book of the lost shtetl of Zaromb, near Treblinka. It is a haunting catalogue of horrors, compiled in 1946. One of the recurring themes of the accounts: Zarombers faced as much danger from Poles as they did from Germans.

“As we saw later, the Poles took an active part in the massacre of the Jews of Zaromb. Several days before, a number of Polish cart drivers had been given orders to be ready to transport the "Zshides" (derogatory term for Jews) of Zaromb. They kept that order secret.”

BTW, in Russian the word "zhid" (the first sound like S in meaSure), although coming from Yid (cf. Yiddish, the language of Yidn, i.e., Jews), is EXTREMELY rude. Just FYI, if you hear it (even if you don't understand Russian), 99% you're listening to an antisemite. 1% is for ironiccl use (as in "damned zionists still don't want to die and continue fighting hamas").

Die Kirchenzeitung hat mit mir einen Podcast gemacht. Es geht um: “Liebet eure Feinde”. Es geht auch ein bisschen um die #TZI und um die #Mediation (meine Lieblings-Arbeitsfelder neben dem Pfarramt).

Leider nur innerhalb des E-Papers (mit Anmeldung) und über Spotify zu hören. Bei Spotify könnt ihr ihn aber auch ohne Abo oder Anmeldung hören: open.spotify.com/episode/5qLpV…

In the hours after a man was shot in Minneapolis, but before his name was released, @theverge's creative director Kristen Radtke was working on coverage of the aftermath. Then his name was announced, Alex Pretti, and she realized he was her childhood best friend. She writes about how they met, when he was three and she was four, the things they did together, and the person he was. "As social media does its work putting bits and pieces together about each day of unfolding tragedy, more and more of us will realize that those pieces belong to someone we know."

I have switched the repeater on my balcony in Munich from #meshtastic to #Meshcore and after 1 hour I already see nodes and repeaters in Zürich, Switzerland and many other places. Impressive. My repeater, a Heltec T114 with a decent antenna, named DE81827_01 is solar powered and has a 2200 mAh battery so it should JustWork™️ at all times :) Oh. And use the „EU/UK narrow“ radio settings as that is the popular default, but not the default after installing the firmware. Why? Dunno.
Map of Munich showing a bunch of Meshcore repeaters covering a big chunk of the city. Not so many in the city centre, though.
Map with Switzerland, Austria and south Germany, showing 30 Meshcore nodes everywhere.

@lyda true, but it's for integration on the end points. I haven't really seen something like bypassing traffic through a faster channel between two Meshcore nods. It's really all LoRa hops between repeaters. My maximum is 14 hops. I wonder what it's like in larger networks like in Germany. If the network really scales to dozens of hops (theoretical maximum is AFAIK 64).

Really? Rebel Alliance?

An interview with Mozilla president Mark Surman about plans to deploy its ~$1.4B in reserves to fund an AI "rebel alliance" to challenge companies like OpenAI?

cnbc.com/2026/01/27/mozilla-bu…


Mozilla is building an AI ‘rebel alliance’ to take on industry heavweights OpenAI, Anthropic

Mozilla is looking to deploy its roughly $1.4 billion in reserves to support "mission driven" companies and nonprofits, and is particularly focused on AI.

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

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...
