My shift isn't until 16:00.

Hahahahahahaha, ah well. I guess I could have stayed up later? Or slept in more? I already spent > 70+ minutes on the commute into the "office" how shall I burn the next 8ish hours until my shift actually begins?

Well, for starters, I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' Got (Game of Trees) to 0.130.1 -portable here:

🎯 AI
===================

A new piece by Utku Sen explains how LLM-based penetration testing harnesses work and why the situation changed recently. The argument is that the shift is plumbing, not a new exploit class: what matters is what lets an LLM act on a live target.

The mechanics

An LLM is a text generator. Give it a task like pentest example.com, credentials in credentials.txt and it can only emit text describing intent, for example Read credentials.txt, open example.com. The harness is the code that parses that output, executes the requested actions, and returns results so the model can iterate. Without a harness, nothing happens.

The author's analogy comes from apartment buildings in Turkey: residents leave notes with errands, the janitor runs them without thinking and returns with results. The LLM is the resident, the harness is the janitor.

Claude Code as reference

The model (Opus/Sonnet) produces text only. Claude Code is the software that contains the harness: logic for reading and writing files, executing commands, spawning subagents, managing context windows, using skills, and interacting with MCP servers. Open-source harnesses like Opencode and Pi follow the same pattern and accept different models.

Why static analysis was always tolerated

LLMs have found vulnerabilities in codebases for a long time because nearly all guardrails allow it: static analysis only, no interaction with a live system, and there were already plenty of open-source harnesses and skills for that purpose. Frontier models also support dynamic testing on a live website, but only after confirming you own the target, and they refuse targets you cannot prove.

What changed

1. Per the author, open-source models, DeepSeek especially in its uncensored variant, are now good at finding vulnerabilities through dynamic testing, and they do not gate on target ownership. Presented as the author's assessment, not a benchmark.
2. Open-source dynamic pentest harnesses now exist, which was not the case before.
3. Combination: a refusal-free open model plus a ready-made harness removes the provider permission flow from the equation.

The named harnesses

The article analyzes three harnesses mentioned in media coverage of recent hacks: Artex and Cairn are Chinese-made, Strix is US-based. The text reviewed here ends before the per-harness deep dive, so concrete capabilities of each remain unconfirmed.

Caveats

The DeepSeek claims lack independent verification in the piece. Uncensored means refusal training removed, a policy change rather than added capability. Frontier ownership gates are likewise policy controls, so the meaningful change is procedural: dynamic agentic testing no longer depends on a provider signing off.

Operational takeaway for defenders: treat external-facing assets as reachable by automated agents running commodity tooling, and weight raw unauthenticated exposure higher.

It's sad that a modern desktop can't run well on 4 GB RAM. Tonight we visited a woman who studies on a university online; I had put together a 4 GB RAM #Linux laptop for her last year (optimized #linuxmint takes 1 GB of RAM on a cold boot). She's constantly swapping with #LibreOffice, browser, and 1-2 more apps. Everything crawls, even if things were actually worse when it was running Win10. I just wish devs optimized more in general. 4 GB should have been enough.

"When I started doing open-source, it was fun. And it kind of still is. But the environment has shifted. Open-source sometimes feels like exploitation. What I would like to see is to find a new model where people working on open-source would be awarded for their work and the hours and hours they put into it from the people who most benefit from their work. I would like companies to realize that this is exploitation. Any exploitation is not sustainable. And it will end up badly if this continues, because the people doing the open-source will stop being motivated to actually do anything in the end."

"Matthias reflects on the deeply human desire to explore, experiment, tinker, share knowledge, and build on one another's ideas – making clear why #openSource #software is much more than just code, and why the ability to have #digitalautonomy and #decentralized access is still extremely relevant today."

Die neuen Platinen für meinen #Linux #Treiber #Workshop 2027 sind da 🎉

Nächstes Jahr entwickeln wir einen Treiber für dieses einfache #USB Gerät, das es uns erlaubt, eine RGB LED anzusteuern und einen Taster auszulesen. Auf der Platine ist ein neuer AVR Mikrocontroller, auf dem #tinyUSB läuft.

Die Platinen erleichtern mein Reisegepäck, da ich dann keine Raspberry Pis mehr mitschleppen muss. Allerdings müssen die Teilnehmenden dann etwas Zeit in die Vorbereitung stecken und ihren Laptop entsprechend einrichten. Die Anleitungen dafür erstelle ich später 😉

Auf den #CLT2027 wird mein Workshop voraussichtlich das erste Mal 2027 angeboten. Ich freue mich drauf 🐧

It was about a week ago I posted about e-petition 7686, calling on the government to enforce the Canada Health Act and improve public health care in Canada. At that point there were 346 signatures, but signatures had slowed to a trickle. In the time left, it seemed it would not reach the 500 signature mark required for it to certified (which allows for it to be presented in Parliament, obligating the government to answer it in writing).

But people here began boosting the post and signing the petition, surpassing the 500 signature mark in a week. Fabulous.

This shows the power of Mastodon. In the past I've tried posting stuff like this to non-free networks like Facebook or Reddit or Twitter. And the response was never as great as it was here. This shows the power of a community that is not controlled by algorithms.

So, I extend a big thank you to everyone who took part. Our desire for universal public health care will be communicated to the government. And if we don't like their answer, we'll then decide upon our next steps.

The #synthstromDeluge has an unfounded bad rap for "its deluge sound". This is a common mistake spawned by the default kts and presets that used to come with the original SD card content.

Nothing could be further from the truth. While not massively powerful and somewhat limited in comparson to dedicated hardware for each type of synthesis and effects, the Deluge has multiple type of synthesis (add, sub, wt, fm, ring) and effects (delay, reverb, chorus, warble, etc..). Not to mention the powerful sampling.

YOU can make it sound however YOU like! Make of it what you want.

YOUR SOUND IS THE DELUGE SOUND.

Thanks to the amazing #delugeCommunity the Deluge is constantly improving with its #opensource firmware. The v1.3 release (codenamed Derbyshire after #deliaderbyshire) is imminent!

Okay, the discussions lately have convinced me that my thinking is a bit off.

On the one hand, rejecting Fedora Linux because it’s now owned by IBM via Red Hat - which is a U.S. Big Tech company -and on the other hand, installing Windows on a computer for that very reason... the anger over Trump and the omnipotence of U.S. tech companies (and Trump’s political abuse of them) really does make my brain short-circuit sometimes... So moving forward: less hyperventilating, more fresh air into the brain.

At the end of the day, it’s still a thousand times better to go with Fedora than with Microsoft. That’s why I’ll be using Fedora again - also because, with version 45, my 5G modem finally works in my ThinkPad, something that hadn’t worked on any Linux distribution before. And as a dual-boot system on my NUC 16 PRO, where Fedora is also the only Linux distribution that runs without any issues.

The other two mini-PCs will stick with Debian Testing, which works wonderfully on them given their age.

And then there’s also my ThinkPad P51 running FreeBSD.

If you've lost track of which system I'm currently using on which computer, you can check my website for details.

Even during my time away from Fedora, I always believed that Fedora is by far simply the best Linux distribution. No other distribution is quite as trouble-free and advanced - the perfect mix of up-to-date features and stability.

As a Red Hat Linux user since 1997 and then on board since Fedora Core 1, I regretted - from a technical standpoint - having to switch to another, non-U.S.-based system for political reasons.

svg-sanitize rebuilds untrusted SVG as static vector graphics only. It does not simply search and replace script tags. It parses XML with defusedxml, checks resource limits, and constructs an entirely new XML tree from a small, explicit allowlist of elements, attributes, and valid values.

Thanks to @wachizungu for the initial idea at the @hack_lu hackathon and also @therealsaumil to trigger me again about SVG at the 20th edition hack.lu ;-)

It's a prototype and maybe utterly broken.

kept working on the resistor tool. Now you give it an input voltage and an output voltage and it prints all the possible resistors combinations that you could have with the precision and their consumption.

It does it with a list of all the availabe (at this time) resistors i could find on LCSC. So every combinations **should** be somewhat realistic.

It is slow as hell, and kind of useless... but i like it... it has some 90' vibe i enjoy.

🥱 Microsoft has announced “digital sovereignty”. Again.

Every time, it’s new terms that mean little when a foreign government can still demand your data or cut off your services.

The stack, licensing, updates and rules stay under Microsoft’s control, not yours. That’s sovereignty-washing.

HOW TO KILL META!
=================

The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents against Meta's abusive behavior.

Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.

Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, and influenced the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.

I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.

People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )

Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.

Here's a plan of action:

1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of the #Fediverse
( https://Fediverse.info/ )

1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.

1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.

1.3) Based on Free Software, auditable by all.

2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.

3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right #Mastodon instance.

4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a semi random Mastodon instance for them.

5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.

6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.

7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️

Migration Details:
===============

1. Set up a website to facilitate the exodus out of Facebook/Twitter.
For example:
Facebook2Fedi.org / Twitter2Fedi.org

2. The websites can be publicized through word of mouth, or any number of other means, not just through ads on Facebook / Twitter / X

3. It's a week's worth of work for an experienced programmer. So the requirements break down as:

3.1 A programmer's pay for 1 week ( or volunteer hackers ).

3.2 Two internet domains.

3.3 managed web hosting costs for 1 year.

3.4 customer support hotline number.

A lot of these costs can probably be covered by existing Free Software projects, which may offer free hosting. We might find enough Fediverse volunteers to operate the hotlines.

Technical Details:
===============

1) The User clicks on a link to go to FB2Fedi.org ( working title )

2) The website guides them on how to get FB to release their data to them.

3) The user jumps through the FB hoops, and downloads an archive of their FB data. This might take a day or two.

4) The website ( FB2Fedi.org ) guides them through setting up a Fediverse account.

5) The website optionally helps them upload their contacts file to the registry hosted by the site ( infosec details to be hashed out ).

6) The website helps them upload their posts and photos etc to their Fediverse account. This might require some parsing scripts, for ETL ( Extract, Transform & Load ).

7) The user's data pretty much stays in their control. Their social network is mostly the data a user entrusts the migration registry with.
Using some cryptography primitives, it might be possible to limit this exposure, and mitigate the risk.

HOW TO KILL META!
=================

[Part 2/2]

That's it, in a nutshell. Some details need to be worked out, and that's why I am seeking your help.

A Free Software project might be able to provide the compute resources to host the site.

As for the culture shock of transitioning from FB ( where an evil billionaires algorithm holds your hand, and censors...ahem...curates your feed ) I am not too worried. People will adapt, to yet another new thing.

Maybe we should start new users with a relatively private Fediverse setting, so that only their network can reply to their posts. Rawdogging voices from the whole Internet, without a billionaire's insular algorithm, can be a bit harsh. We will never hear the end of complaints about that bogeyman of the Fediverse — the "reply guy".

"On FB, I didn't get replies from people I didn't know!!!"
( Welcome to the discomforts and joys of the Free World )

Android Auto without Google Play Services: an open-source alternative worth watching.

AARE is an open-source project aiming to reimplement the smartphone side of Android Auto, allowing apps to appear on your car’s display without relying on Google’s official solution.

Here’s what it offers:
🔹 Navigation with apps like CoMaps and Organic Maps
🔹 Music, podcasts and radio, including support for Navidrome
🔹 Messaging: Signal, WhatsApp and SMS, with message readout and replies while stopped
🔹 An alternative voice assistant
🔹 USB or wireless connectivity

The goal is to give users more freedom in their choice of apps while reducing their dependence on Google’s ecosystem.

One caveat: the project is still at an early stage of development. Compatibility and real-world performance in a car remain to be verified.

https://github.com/prototux/AARE

Would you choose AARE or Gearslip to move away from Android Auto and reduce your dependence on Google?

Eigentlich fahre ich an der Hochschule keine Updates mehr.
Es sind Rolling Release geworden, obwohl #Debian Stable und #SLES 15/16 es eigentlich nicht sind.
Es vergeht kein Tag ohne das Einspielen von Patches und Securityfixes

Gestern brauchte es eine gesonderte Freigabe des Landes Baden-Württemberg für mehr als 10 Stunden arbeiten.
Personalrat ist auch eingebunden.
Meiner Meinung nach brauchen wir mehr Kollegen, aber das Land hat dafür nicht die Finanzen.

The Signal Protocol in Rust

TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #Nodejs limitations of the official library.

I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.

My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my series of #P2P messaging projects.

Protocol Demo:
https://signal.positive-intentions.com/

P2P Messaging roadmap:
https://glitr.io/docs/technical/roadmap

I am looking for feedback from the #Dev and #Infosec community. If you have experience with #Cryptography audits or formal-proof verification, I would appreciate your eyes on the codebase as I work toward a more finished state.

CachyOS, erstes, bewusst vorsichtiges Fazit nach ein paar Tagen nach dem Wechsel von Mint.

Bisher: richtig gut!

Das System fühlt sich sehr schnell an. Mein WLAN-Chip, der unter Mint immer wieder gezickt hat, läuft ruhig und ohne Probleme, das Handling ist angenehm und entspannt.

Im Terminal muss ich mich noch an die Cachy-igen Eigenheiten gewöhnen. Aber wozu hat man schließlich PostIt`s

Ees ist ein erster Eindruck, der Alltagstest geht weiter.
