I keep seeing versions of this post, which imply a bizarre misunderstanding of how we know the world.

Do people imagine that if we'd never observed galaxies or neutrinos or exoplanets or the cosmic microwave background, we could have *imagined* these things & that would be just as real?

Or that we've magically reached the point, just now, where we no longer need to observe the world?

PH4NTXM Update:
Dynamic Network Drift Engine — Operational

We’ve successfully implemented and deployed the PH4NTXM network drift subsystem.

Live tc/netem manipulation is now active across interfaces, introducing controlled delay, jitter, packet loss, duplication, and reordering — all dynamically adjusted over time.

System behavior is no longer static.

Adaptive Profiles: Network parameters (TTL, RTT, window sizes, retries, etc.) are now randomized and adjusted per profile (linux, windows, android) with persistent seeding and jitter control.

State-Aware Drift: The system maintains lightweight RTT mapping and uses it to influence future behavior, avoiding unrealistic patterns.

Continuous Mutation: A timed drift loop continuously reshapes network conditions, preventing stable fingerprinting and deterministic signatures.

This marks the transition from static tuning → active behavioral obfuscation.

PH4NTXM now mutates its network presence in real time.

Today, I was forced to use the GMail website to fix a problem I was having with messages. I don't care what people say. It's absolutely atrocious and headache-inducing. It's also overly and needlessly complicated, and yes, that includes all the little shortcuts, turning NVDA browse mode off, etc. I switched to Thunderbird 102 when they shut down the Basic HTML site. But today, I thought of something very interesting. Third party clients can access GMail. Why couldn't someone recreate the Basic HTML site, either as a site that retrieves e-mail or as a web application? Apparently, someone already made a concept demonstration of it.

https://github.com/tumaranja/my-basic-html-gmail

I've also heard that screenshots have been taken of the original pages. If someone could do this, it would be wonderful for the blind community. Yes, Thunderbird works, but sometimes, it's simpler and quicker to just use the site. What I don't know, though, is if setting could be changed that way. I imagine that searching for messages would still work.

Now, if only someone could bring back the Mobile Youtube site from 2017! That was also wonderful and useful, unlike the modern mess!

Brave browser, cross platform, easy to use, privacy is key to thier belief, syncing across multiple devices is very good.

Brave search engine, unlike other alternative search engines Brave search use its own indexing, in other words it does not get the results from Google, and again privacy is key, no tracking, give it a try.

I'm OK being left behind, thanks!

Many years ago, someone tried to get me into cryptocurrencies. "They're the future of money!" they said. I replied saying that I'd rather wait until they were more useful, less volatile, easier to use, and utterly reliable.

"You don't want to get left behind, do you?" They countered.

That struck me as a bizarre sentiment. What is there to be left behind from? If BitCoin (or whatever) is going to liberate us all from economic drudgery, what's the point of "getting in early"? It'll still be there tomorrow and I can join the journey whenever it is sensible for me.

Part of the crypto grift was telling people to "Have Fun Staying Poor". That weaponisation of

FOMO

was an insidious way to get people to drop their scepticism.

I feel the same way about the current crop of AI tools. I've tried a bunch of them. Some are good. Most are a bit shit. Few are useful to me as they are now. I'm utterly content to wait until their hype has been realised. Why should I invest in learning the equivalent of WordStar for DOS when Google Docs is coming any-day-now?

If this tech is as amazing as you say it is, I'll be able to pick it up and become productive on a timescale of my choosing not yours.

I didn't use Git when it first came out. Once it was stable and jobs began demanding it, I picked it up. Might I be 7% more effective if I'd suffered through the early years? Maybe. But so what? I could just as easily have wasted my time learning something which never took off.

I wrote my MSc on The Metaverse. Learning to built VR stuff was fun, but a complete waste of time. There was precisely zero utility in having gotten in early.

Perhaps there are some things for which it is sensible to be on the cutting edge. I took part in a vaccine trial because I thought it might personally benefit me and, hopefully, humanity.

But I'm struggling to think of anyone who has earned anything more than bragging rights by being first. Some early investors made money - but an equal and opposite number lost money. For every HTML 2.0 you might have tried, you were just as likely to have got stuck in the dead-end of Flash.

There are a 16,000 new lives being born every hour. They're all starting with a fairly blank slate. Are you genuinely saying that they'll all be left behind because they didn't learn your technology in utero?

No. That's obviously nonsense.

It is 100% OK to wait and see if something is actually useful.

"A French aircraft carrier was tracked in real time via a sailor’s Strava activity, exposing a persistent operational security flaw.

Le Monde revealed that France’s aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was tracked in real time through an officer’s activity on the Strava app. A sailor unknowingly shared running data from the ship, exposing its location in the Mediterranean. The French sailor’s public Strava profile, set as “public,” revealed the near real-time location of the aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean, near Cyprus and Turkey."

This is not an isolated incident. In 2018, Strava’s global heatmap revealed the locations and patrol routes of military bases in places like Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq, simply because soldiers were recording their runs.

More recently, Strava data has exposed the movements of security teams protecting world leaders, including routes that revealed private residences and travel patterns.

There have even been cases where activity data from naval bases was used to infer submarine patrol schedules, based on when personnel suddenly stopped logging workouts.

Physical memory (RAM) is the fast, limited hardware that stores active data. Virtual memory is a technique that OSs use to emulate extra RAM by using hard drive/SSD space when physical memory is full. RAM boosts performance with high-speed access, whereas virtual memory prevents crashes when RAM fills up by swapping inactive data. Read more https://windowspost.com/virtual-memory-vs-ram/

Location & Type: Physical memory is RAM chips. Virtual memory is space on a hard drive or SSD (often a pagefile.sys or swap partition).

Speed: Physical memory is significantly faster than virtual memory (HDD/SSD).

Capacity: Physical memory is limited by motherboard slots. Virtual memory is generally limited only by available disk space.

Function: Physical memory holds running applications. Virtual memory acts as a safety net when RAM is exhausted, moving inactive data from RAM to disk, known as "swapping" or "paging".

Visibility: Programs are generally unaware of where their data is stored, as the Operating System (OS) maps virtual addresses to physical RAM seamlessly.

I will send another. I just hope he's okay. Apparently, someone said he made a post to Blind Ads in July of 2025. If no one knows him, I heard there is someone else on that list named Kevin.

C64 SID

The SID CMOS IC in the C64 delivers an interesting eight bit sound colour in the C64

When I first heard the C64 SID as a kid it was nothing to throw your hat at. I've had experiences with concert piano's, tenor saxophones, percussion instruments in the electric range professional synths, bass guitars so I knew this bleep bloop ssshtt IC could never sound the way of the pro musical hardware, especially not the acoustic instruments.

Last Ninja I

It was when I heard the music of Last Ninja I knew that with it's severe limits, the Sound Interface Device has something special to offer. The composer of the music of this game did something marvelous.

He used arpeggio techniques to make the SID play chords

• SID does not play polyphonic sound
• Arpeggio gives the illusion of chords due to the rapid succession of notes played
• Iconic music was spawned with Last Ninja
• Unique arpeggio chords created on the SID are still seeked by those who were kids in that period
• Others copied the technique and a cult music genre was born
• People still create SID chords on emulated C64's to this day, since the machine is long gone in the anals of history

Background & history

Personal POV

• Being brought up with acoustic instruments of all kind, I know how good and a great instruments should sound
• I have perfect pitch
• I can hear up to the 1/100 of a Hz if a instrument is in tune
• It's annoying when instruments are out of tune for me.
• That distuned instrument, sounds like a kakaphony of cats squealing making the played music horrific in my head
• I came with a high level of raw musical talent enabling me to easily pickup all different kinds of acoustical instruments
• Behind a piano, without any formal training, I could easily play a song in minutes with the chords and the lead tune in a good manner
• I loved to play on the electric bass, so the bass track which I first compose in my head, when I play the piano, is played in sequence
• I would then pickup one of the brass instruments (I love the Tenor Sax) and play the lead well in munutes too
• All that was left was playing the chords on any synth or keyboard available (usually one of the Korg or Yamaha synths)
• I can hear and mix the levels of instruments in my head
• It's easy to remix a sound in my head without having to touch a mixing console
• All of these talents combined give me good insights in music as a whole and computer (SID music then) as a detail
  
• I can work on electrical equiment on the pcb level, something I picked up as a young kid
• From the age of three I disassembled tube radios with expert precision, making me fluent in the disassembly and assembly of tube radios
• I assembled them back in working order from the age of four, after complete disassebly!
• This gives me great insight in the hardware level of electronics

Last Ninja+

• I naturally dismantled my C64 again when I heard the game.
• Why did the game sound that way from a hardware POV
• What makes the IC tick
• I've got the manuals of all the IC's
• I had already replaced the PLA906114 Program Logic Array with a new one on a socked, with no qualms
• The PLA9016114 got too hot in the tropics (max temp 70C) so it never lived long without a heat sink.
• My PLA's were programmed by a friend of mine who was an expert in the programming field
• The new PLA's came blank
• I did all the extraction, socked soldering and other work myself

The answer was in the C64 hardware manual

• SID does just 8 bit audio
• has zero polyphony
• a limited frequency range both low and high
• has scratchy output (which I later learned to appreciate)
• has monophonic, single channel analog output
• is in actuality a fair sounding IC but far from great

The Yamaha 8 bit sound IC of that period was much better

Yamaha had less succes than the SID for a simple reason

Mass deployment

• SID was everywhere!
• C64 machines were sold like warm bread in the morning at the old baker
• Mass deployment means much more software programmed for the IC
• SID won on mass deplyment and lower price in comparison with the lead 8 bit Yamaha audio IC of that period
• The ammount of games making use of the SID was staggering in comparision
• Games drove the success of the SID to astronomical heights
• I got used to the SID, later seeking it's sound when I transitioned to my Amiga A500 with

Paula

• Paula is polyphonic with 16 bit (14 bits actually) sound
• Paula sounds much cleaner
• has 4 channels 0 1 2 3
• hard panning of channels in the stereo analog output
• more stability
• more joy

Motivation for seeking SID after it was gone...

• Simple
• NOSTALGIA
• We all have it
• even kids do

Ode to SID

You've been great

Tech IS politics. Tim Cook manages a company that rivals small nation's economies. He's one of the most effective politicians of the modern age, and Apple pours money into marketing and lobbying efforts. Apple has tremendous influence over governments, and appeals against regulations.
Apple is a political bully and Tim Cook is a liar.

I keep running into articles written by technology journalists who don't seem to be aware that the LLMs are using search engines. Their answers aren't all generated from training data. If you're going to 'splain AI summaries or chat to your readers, and you don't at least mention the fact these tools are using search engines, you're not only looking ignorant - you're contributing to mass ignorance.

I've just finished reading the UK Government's new report today on the use of copyright works in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, produced by the Dept for Science, Innovation and Technology, the Dept for Culture, Media and Sport & the Intellectual Property Office UK.

Here are the key respondent views + conclusions from the government - I'm available for on-air commentary as needed:

📌Gov UK most concerned about AI creating "digital replicas" of someone’s voice or face - but bizarrely not bothered about copyrighted texts, images, software etc being used in AI model training datasets (the report calls it "input transparency")

📌There is currently no mandate for AI developers to disclose publicly what IP they are using in their datasets, only which web crawlers they use to crawl the internet. But not what data they crawl or what it is used for

📌Creative industries strongly support the introduction of mandatory standards on input transparency, while tech firms have complained of the "practical and financial burdens of disclosure", particularly affecting small AI startups

📌AI developers & tech firms want exceptions to copyright for AI innovation. Creative industries have rejected the option to opt out of this

📌Gov UK to work on best practices around labelling the content outputted by AI models as AI-generated, but they want to see what other nations do first

📌However, Govt UK said this despite including in this report the new legislation from California, China and South Korea that already requires AI content to be labelled as such on release

📌Gov UK won't "intervene" in the copyright licensing market right now, because "many stakeholders" didn't want it (who tho? 👀)

📌Gov UK to "consider" further work on barriers to enforcing IP rights

Dunno, feels like the House of Lords is right. The UK Govt is still hedging against tightening legislation, in favour of the tech giants.

But what happens when the AI models ingest everything related to all white collar jobs that require a computer? What will we do then?

UK Government's Report on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence title page, released 18th March 2026

🚨 Why Choose PH4NTXM OS?

In a world where every device, every connection, and every click is monitored, the need for true privacy and security has never been more urgent. Here's why PH4NTXM OS is the choice for anyone who values freedom, autonomy, and total control over their digital life.

🔒 No Telemetry, No Tracking
While most operating systems silently send your data back to the provider, PH4NTXM leaves no traces. There’s no telemetry, no data collection, no history retained. Once your session ends, it’s gone—no lingering traces to be uncovered by adversaries.

💻 Lightweight & Efficient
Built on Debian with the XFCE desktop environment, PH4NTXM is designed to run fast and smooth on a wide range of hardware. It’s optimized for ephemeral execution, meaning it runs entirely in RAM and leaves no footprint behind. Perfect for those who need a secure, fast, and lightweight system.

🌐 Designed for Hostile Environments
PH4NTXM is engineered for the highest-risk scenarios. Whether you're a researcher, journalist, or privacy advocate, this OS ensures your digital activities remain hidden—even from network observers and forensic analysis. With features like identity randomization, network fingerprint fuzzing, and post-quantum cryptography, PH4NTXM goes far beyond what most security tools offer.

🛡️ End-to-End Security
The system is hardened against attacks, with built-in defenses against brute-force attempts and physical tampering. Nuke Kernel and Panic Button features give you instant control, ensuring that no trace is left behind in case of a breach or forced shutdown.

🌍 Resilient in Surveillance
In a world of continuous surveillance, PH4NTXM offers a true alternative. It doesn't assume permanent observation—it ensures your privacy is designed into the environment itself. Whether you’re protecting your personal identity or working on high-risk projects, PH4NTXM is your trusted companion.

🔑 For the Informed Operator
PH4NTXM isn’t designed for casual users. It’s for those who understand the stakes—those who know that privacy isn’t just a feature, but a responsibility. If you’re ready to take control and operate without leaving unnecessary traces, PH4NTXM is built for you.

💡 More than Just an OS
PH4NTXM is not just a tool. It’s a philosophy. A commitment to autonomy, security, and true privacy in an increasingly monitored world.

#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology

We're currently developing a new Activity Decoy Engine for PH4NTXM, designed to inject fake system activity to enhance privacy and security. This engine will simulate behaviors like file access, network requests, and CPU activity, creating a layer of decoy operations to obscure your real activities from prying eyes.

Why is this important? In environments where privacy is critical, adding noise to system activity is a simple but powerful technique to confuse and mislead attackers or surveillance systems.

If you’re experimenting with PH4NTXM, this is a great opportunity to explore new ways to protect your identity while maintaining a seamless experience in live environments.

Educators have been hit harder than most by generative AI. @brianmerchant spoke with some of the people affected, some of whom have already lost their jobs as a result of AI, and some who are attempting to educate the new generation. "Increasingly my students genuinely do not understand why they should not use AI anyway... what is the point of ‘wasting’ days researching and writing an essay when the AI version will be as good or even better?" says one university lecturer.

So far nothing is being done to manage the flood of #AISlop on the #Internet.

The single way to "kind of" reduce it is by looking at the source (long established / people you know or that have a large following / are trusted)

Of course there is always change and that's a good thing, but this fundamentally changes things.

Will the internet as we know it, die because of #AI slop?

You probably think your data floats through the air. It actually sits in the mud. Engineers are currently pulling the world's first fiber-optic ocean cable off the Atlantic floor. TAT-8 changed the world in 1988 by turning your voice into pulses of light. It only lasted 14 years before it broke, but it proved we could wire the planet. We're recycling the metals now. Workers have to coil the glass fibers by hand on a ship to prevent them from snapping. It's a reminder that our life depends on thin strands of glass sitting in the dark.

In a world increasingly shaped by AI, we asked one a simple question:

"What’s your impression of PH4NTXM Operating System."

Here’s the answer it gave:

“PH4NTXM is highly specialized, even elite-level, but only within its narrow domain: covert, high-risk digital operations.

It’s designed for users who need:

• complete session ephemerality (everything erased on shutdown)
• anti-forensic features (no disk writes, randomized fingerprints)
• operational security capabilities (network obfuscation, identity spoofing)

It’s not ‘elite’ in the sense of being widely adopted or user-friendly — it’s elite in its niche, like a tactical tool for trained professionals, not general users.

Think of it as the special forces OS — not for everyone, but unmatched for its specific mission."

Interesting perspective from a machine analyzing system design.

Termux

• platform: Android
• type: sh environment
• goal: have the power of linux sh in Android
• license: GNU GPL Open Source
• development: active
• users: more than I can imagine

Termux which is the powerful Linux sh environment for Android is constantly under attack by Google

I've installed it on many different Androids with different versions and classes of the Android operating system

The direct reaction of the Play Store daemon is the same.

Warning Termux is an unsafe program!

wtf?

Why does google lie and stay that Termux is a program that should not be trusted?

This is a false and blatant deceptive action of Google, who is snooping on the Android phone, your personal property, because Termux gives you the flexibility to look at things which Google tries to hide from you on your own phone!

The Termux distribution is regularly patched and updated just like any other regular Linux distribution which is properly maintained

Keep installing Termux it gives you freedom on your Androids

The wild "Starshot" project was conceived to design a probe that could reach Proxima Centauri in about 20 years.

Although project has gone dormant, it has yielded a lot of new ideas (many not widely shared, alas) about how to build a viable interstellar probe.

The mechanism is straightforward & worth understanding. As AI automates the cognitive, analytical, and communications work that college educated professionals have built careers around, those white collar jobs shrink in value and number. The people most exposed are educated women who vote Democrat. Meanwhile, trade and vocational workers, the plumbers, electricians, and machinists who lean Republican and male, become harder to replace with software. Karp isn't just predicting this shift. He is building the technology that accelerates it, cashing Pentagon checks along the way, and calling it patriotism.

We are watching a tiny class of AI billionaires reshape society, redistribute political power, and embed themselves into government infrastructure without a single vote being cast. Even Palantir's own head of communications called the company's political drift "concerning."
#taxtherich #regulation #law
The solution is not complicated: tax these people aggressively, break up these contracts, and demand democratic oversight of AI before the architecture of our entire society gets quietly handed over to a few unelected men with god complexes and government clearances.

Here is the @guardian take

"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature."

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) thinking. Tesla is seated in a dimly lit study or laboratory. He wears a dark, tailored suit, complete with a high-collared white shirt and a neatly tied bowtie, reflecting his elegant style. His slender frame and sharp features are illuminated by soft, focused light, emphasizing his high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly furrowed brow.
