Some nuanced privacy advice:
- Signal is good, and you should use it because it strikes an effective balance in the optimization problem that is getting people to use secure technology.
- You should think really, really hard before using any technology whose entire threat model depends on centrally operated infrastructure remaining trusted and uncompromised. Especially ones based in jurisdictions without effective democratic institutions.

Ultimately, the main questions you really need to ask yourself are:
- "What are you trying to protect"
- "Why?"
- "For how long?"
Privacy itself is a technology, a powerful one, and you should learn to wield it effectively to accomplish the goals you have.

Conference Talk Timeout Ring, Part One
Posted on February 4, 2025
Tags: madeof:atoms, madeof:bits
A few ago I may have accidentally bought a ring of 12 RGB LEDs; I soldered temporary leads on it, connected it to a CircuitPython supported board and played around for a while.
They we had a couple of friends come over to remote FOSDEM together, and I had talked with one of them about WS2812 / NeoPixels, so I brought them to the living room, in case there was a chance to show them in sort-of-use.
Then I was dealing with playing the various streams as we moved from one room to the next, which lead to me being called “video team”, which lead to me wearing a video team shirt (from an old DebConf, not FOSDEM, but still video team), which lead to somebody asking me whether I also had the sheet with the countdown to the end of the talk, and the answer was sort-of-yes (I should have the ones we used to use for our Linux Day), but not handy.
But I had a thing with twelve things in a clock-like circle.
A bit of fiddling on the CircuitPython REPL resulted, if I remember correctly, in something like:
import board
import neopixel
import time
num_pixels = 12
pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(board.GP0, num_pixels)
pixels.brightness = 0.1
def end(min):
pixels.fill((0, 0, 0))
for i in range(12):
pixels[i] = (127 + 10 * i, 8 * (12 - i), 0)
pixels[i-1] = (0, 0, 0)
time.sleep(min * 5) # min * 60 / 12Now, I wasn’t very consistent in running
end, especially since I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to run it at the beginning of the talk with the full duration or just in the last 5 - 10 minutes depending of the length of the slot, but I’ve had at least one person agree that the general idea has potential, so I’m taking these notes to be able to work on it in the future.One thing that needs to be fixed is the fact that with the ring just attached with temporary wires and left on the table it isn’t clear which LED is number 0, so it will need a bit of a case or something, but that’s something that can be dealt with before the next fosdem.
And I should probably add some input interface, so that it is self-contained and not tethered to a computer and run from the REPL.
(And then I may also have a vague idea for putting that ring into some wearable thing: good thing that I actually bought two :D )

Speakers: If you have a weird "cut" on the start of your #FOSDEM video recording, tell the video server that it the video starts too late. The next version the video server sent me had much better source video (all three talks I gave had this problem, I assume others might as well - but don't panic!)

No, I've no experience there, as I said, as far as I know it isn't production ready. I guess we'll have to wait what will come of it.
I guess this limitation is easily to overcome, since it's open source and the underlying xmpp server doesn't know such a limitation.

This afternoon I've received 5 sensors of a certain type¹ I've bought in the weekend.
They were in individual plastic bags (purple), I've put them all in a single plastic bag, and put the bag back in the box they came in.
In the last hour or so I've taken one of them out, connected it to the microcontroller on a breadboard I use for these things, programmed it to use it, it worked. Then I decided to take another microcontroller whose sensor² was broken, and change it with one of these.
So I picked up the soldering iron, all of the accessories, and changed³ the board that connects the microcontroller and the sensor, soldered headers to *another* one of the new sensors, and update the firmware, and everything worked.
And now I wanted to put away the remaining ones in their right place, and I can't find them anymore.
They aren't near in the box, they aren't near the upgraded microcontroller, they aren't in the plastic box where they are supposed to end up
Aaaand thanks everybody, while writing this I looked under the soldering mat (which I had put back into its place) and the sensors were there!
¹ BME280 on a breakout board, but that's not the issue
² SHT20, it had started to give absurd humidity values
³ it's an I2C device. There are 4 pins. *why* is everybody putting them in different combinations??? why can't they settle on something like always putting them in the same order??? (maybe the one used by easyC / StemmaQT, since it's already out there?)

Oggi pomeriggio ho ricevuto dei sensori¹ che ho comprato nel weekend.
Erano in bustine di plastica (viola) individuali, li ho messi tutti nella stessa bustina, e rimesso la bustina nella scatola in cui erano arrivati.
Nell'ultima oretta li ho ripresi in mano, collegati al micro su breadboard con cui faccio le prove, programmato il micro per usarlo, funzionava. E poi ho deciso di prendere un altro micro il cui sensore² si era rotto e sostituirlo con uno di questi.
Quindi ho preso il saldatore e tutto quanto, cambiato³ la schedina che collega microcontrollore e sensore, saldato headers su un altro dei sensori nuovi, aggiornato il firmware e tutto funziona.
E poi volevo mettere i sensori rimasti al loro posto, e non li trovo più.
Non sono nella scatola, non sono vicino al micro aggiornato, non sono nella scatola di plastica dove dovranno andare.
Eeeee, grazie mille, mentre scrivevo questo post ho guardato sotto al tappetino per saldare (che avevo rimesso a posto) e i sensori erano lì!
¹ BME280 su una breakout board, ma non è quello il punto
² SHT20, aveva iniziato a dare valori di umidità assurdi
³ è un dispositivo I2C. Ci sono 4 pin. *perché* li mettono in tutte le combinazioni possibili? perché non si mettono d'accordo per usare sempre lo stesso ordine???? (magari quello usato da easyC / StemmaQT, visto che esiste già)

You feel as if you haven't eaten in the last six months¹. And now you have to decide whether to wait here for some more time, and hope to get some food, or to brave the rain and go to beg for food somewhere else.

TIL: for some unexplained reason, if you ask circuitpython to write in a location that is not on the SD card, it won't be able to write on the SD card.
also, after weeks of ignoring the issue because I didn't know how to debug it, I now have a device that can log GPS data on an SD card.
additionally, if in the function write_sentence(sentence) you use fp.write(sentence) instead of fp.write(gps.nmea_sentence) you can even write *other* things on the same log! such as, I don't know, sensor data!
now I guess I have to write something for the PC that can extract sensor data from a NMEA log and show it in a nice way? meh, maybe, at some point :D

TIL: per qualche ragione incomprensibile, se chiedi a circuitpython di scrivere in una posizione fuori dalla scheda SD, non riesce a scrivere sulla scheda SD.
e così, dopo settimane in cui ho ignorato il problema perché non sapevo come debuggarlo, adesso ho un dispositivo che salva dati GPS su una scheda SD
e per di più, se nella funzione write_sentence(sentence) usi fp.write(sentence) anziché fp.write(gps.nmea_sentence) riesci anche a scrivere *altre* cose nello stesso log! tipo, chessò, dati da dei sensori!
adesso immagino che dovrei scrivere qualcosa per il PC che estragga i dati dei sensori da un log NMEA e li mostri in modo carino? mah, magari, prima o poi :D

A lot of newbies don't know, but in the early times of Mastodon an emphasis was put on being as inclusive as possible.
One way was a simple courtesy to some of our autistic friends. You see some autistic individuals have issues with pictures that have direct eye contact in them.
You know, selfies.
To help them, the community decided to make sure to use a content warning or to use the hashtag #selfie so that they can be filtered out.
So please, be kind and consider doing the same. Thanks.

Since a lot of new people have come on I've noticed a rise in people trying to start arguments. It's as if they carried the toxicity from wherever they came from along with them.
So this is your reminder that you DO NOT HAVE TO ENGAGE with people who are here just to start fights.
Mute them. Block them. Do whatever you have to do to take care of your mental health.
They aren't worthy of your time.
Let's keep Mastodon and the rest of the Fedi a "social" network and not a "toxic" network.

Thanks for the reminder. I totally agree with "block early, block often, block for any reason at all".
But I also find that my feeds (and my own posts) are suddenly much more political and much more angry/sad/all the feels for a very obvious reason. I'm trying to keep that in perspective.
As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

* one hair towel wrap inspired by ikea.com/nl/en/p/stjarnbuske-h… but a bit bigger, made from two towels I'm not using.
* one broken needle at about 2 cm from the end of the very last seam
* while looking for the tip of the needle, discovering that I had not cleaned the sewing machine before packing it (uooops)
* realizing that I still don't have unpacked the sewing machine oil (and won't be able to get to it until the weekend), so gave a quick clean to the machine instead of proper quality time
* couldn't find the needle tip
* it was stuck in the towel layers, of course, ready to hurt myself if I had used the wrap
* finished the last 2 cm of seam, success!
And I also took pictures, but I have no idea when I'll have time to prepare a blog post and instructions.

Should you be wondering why @LWN #LWN is occasionally sluggish... since the new year, the DDOS onslaughts from AI-scraper bots has picked up considerably. Only a small fraction of our traffic is serving actual human readers at this point. At times, some bot decides to hit us from hundreds of IP addresses at once, clogging the works. They don't identify themselves as bots, and robots.txt is the only thing they *don't* read off the site.
This is beyond unsustainable. We are going to have to put time into deploying some sort of active defenses just to keep the site online. I think I'd even rather be writing about accounting systems than dealing with this crap. And it's not just us, of course; this behavior is going to wreck the net even more than it's already wrecked.
Happy new year :)

I'm wondering if a link that a human wouldn't click on but an AI wouldn't know any better than to follow could be used in nginx configuration to serve AI robots differently from humans, in a configuration that excluded search crawlers from that configuration. What such a link would look like would be different on different sites. That would require thought from every site, but also that would create diversity which would make it harder to guard against on the scraper side, so possibly could be more effective.
I might be an outlier here for my feelings on whether training genai such as LLMs from publicly-posted information is OK. It felt weird decades ago when I was asked for permission to put content I posted to usenet onto a CD (why would I care whether the bits were carried to the final reader on a phone line someone paid for or a CD someone paid for?) so it's not inconsistent in my view that I would personally feel that it's OK to use what I post publicly to train genai. (I respect that others feel differently here.)
That said, I'm beyond livid at being the target of a DDoS, and other AI engines might end up being collateral damage as I try to protect my site for use by real people.

our weekend started Saturday morning with a nice, relaxing 2+ hours walk (uphill, of course) in the woods, to take a break.
then it was followed by an afternoon of packing things up, carrying them down the stairs, loading them in the car (not the *boot* of the car, the car. anywhere there was a free cubic centimeter that was safe to load), driving, unloading the car, carrying the boxes up the stairs.
the same thing happened Sunday morning
And then today I waited for a person who didn't come, and while doing so I did another round of carrying boxes (that had already been packed) and loading them in the car, etc., this time alone.
And for some reason this evening as I changed the sheets on the bed my back started to complain about the workload or something :D
And yesterday I've ordered by very first PCB!
a trivial one that I could have easily done with wires on perfboard (actually, a variation of one I've done a few times on perfboard), if I had not been out of the right size of perfboard and not wanting to bother with cutting a bigger one down to size :D
but I have wanted to try my hand at that for some time, but was somewhat intimidated by the whole thing, and as usual doing it in anger is good at overcoming intimidation :D
anyway, the point of this post is to say thank you to #librePCB for making the whole process quite smooth and to @federico :debian: for maintaining it in debian :D

I find it funny that the spec is designed to be used for a whole buffet of content types but every implementation I’ve seen is for basically just one type of media.
Hell with a server like this you could have photos@ vids@ notes@ articles@ etc. or something to allow people to follow just a portion of your output in an app that won’t deal with it itself if needed.

Sounds similar to Libervia, the project I'm working on. It's a all-in-one communication tool based on XMPP, but I've also implemented an ActivityPub gateway (thanks to NLnet/NGI grant), and the goal is to support a large set a features, XMPP and AP wise. Mobilizon type events are supported for instance.
Not yet ready for end-user though, a major redesign is underway.

I must admit my initial reaction would be to pick your account with the 6.5K followers, with the other one appearing rather suspicious because it has a "different domain", "looks similar", and has only 3 followers.
After looking at the screenshot and remembering how the fediverse works, I finally got why it looks that way, but it definitely is far from intuitive and rather confusing.

Yeah, this is one of the things I don't love about the way the fediverse seems to work.
In my ideal world, user's identity and their service account would be related but not the same - one identity-service-provider to say "this is MattGrayYes" and then all the services accept that vouching and only have to manage (e.g.) "MattGrayYes's microblog" or "MattGrayYes's photostream".
Right now, every fediservice seems to want to be an ISP as well.

This feels a bit like what Sharkey does? I've not played with it myself, but I've ended up on Sharkey instnaces a few times and have thought "huh this is neat".
Maybe I've got it backwards.

I think it will happen at some point, but I am not aware of one of these existing just yet. I have not looked very thoroughly either....

do you mean like, Where you'd open a website/app for images and the image posts from people you follow (and presumably tags/algorithm posts) would show. And if you wanted to see video content from those people, you'd open the video version and the same accounts posts would show their video content? Then same idea for text posts...
Or does it look like tumblr like my brain first thought lol.
