Setting aside all the other bits of the whole "Signal group chat" train wreck, at least your government goons were sensible enough to use Signal for inappropriate chat. Ours used WhatsApp. 🤦‍♂️

@neil Hi Neil - I've just read your "media server" blog post. Regarding a client for Apple TV, would Infuse work? I've not met much it won't play. Setting up the libraries can be a tad fiddly, though well within your capabilities.

@libreleah Hi - just wondering when minifree.org will be back up? I'm toying with getting a mini computer to act as a server, looking at various items, and wanted to browse LibreBoot supported kit. :)

@nickm Hi! Hoping you still use this, I followed something of a trail of websites to get here. 😄

I’ve been looking at Mixminion today. The software no longer works at all, as you’d expect… The website says as much, and says you’ve got some ideas for mixnet development. Just wondering if you still have those ideas?

(It’s not clear to me that a mixnet would still be useful what with Signal et al, really, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.)

I’ve been reading around #FreeBSD suspend and resume lately; the conclusion seems to be it’s very iffy but #OpenBSD works much better.

Is that right? I find that a little surprising - not because I doubt the competence of the OBSD crew, just because the impression I get is that the dev team and user base is a lot smaller.

Today’s “do I feel lucky”… I’ve finally got a USB WiFi adapter to stay working under Win11.

It’s a slow 2.4GHz only adapter.

Do I feel lucky enough to unplug it and try setting up a 5GHz one, or will that just result in no WiFi… 🙈

And today we learn that the problem wasn’t the USB WiFi dongle, but that the USB ports on the right hand side of that laptop don’t work....

And today we learn that the problem wasn’t the USB WiFi dongle, but that the USB ports on the right hand side of that laptop don’t work. Wonderful.

Today’s prediction - and it’s one I really hope I get wrong - is that Trump will last less than a year before being removed and replaced with Vance. Which is actually not an upgrade, idiot replaced with someone even slightly more competent. #uspol

Lazyweb - can someone recommend a good SQL book? I can use a basic 'SELECT x FROM y WHERE z' statement, but I still don't understand most of the actual language, let alone inner/outer joins, all that stuff.

(All this despite studying relational databases and algebra at university.) #sql #database

Also - are they actually putting the media data into the Arweave blockchain itself? That must be a *lot* of blocks. /cc @davidgerard

Bit behind, but I've just discovered the US has actually banned #Kaspersky from operating in the US, including updates.

Anyone more knowledgable had any insight in this? I've not met Eugene, but I've been aware of the AV/security sector for years now, and I've not come across any hints of foul play. 😕
