woohoo, just pushed an update to the zphinx* server to build with #zig v0.16 - due to the #iocalypse this is quite a substantial patch: https://rad.ctrlc.hu/nodes/rad.ctrlc.hu/rad:z2Rncctq4pLrY1Kp7NgQkcejBsiza/commits/86d8dc72f391cbedd9994a76fa67e29b3f631b22

but quite worth it, as i got rid of a lot of posixisms/linuxisms (not all though) so making it portable should be easier.

next up the klutshnik** server.

With the recent increase in Russian sabotage in Europe, this post is again relevant. Our society is not robust, many things fail out of their own accord. And then prove hard to repair. We are NOT ready for any kind of conflict, and everyone should get on that: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/cyber-security-pre-war-reality-check/

AI/Agentic attacks have made headlines recently, but agents are highly "suggestible", allowing us to easily detect (or derail) them.

Functional PCB art from the 60s. It's likely a 3 decade count from 0 to 999. I assume it was for lab equipment but I'm not sure. I only know it's made in France, likely by someone who worked at Intertechnique.

Apologies for the hasty pictures, there will be better ones once the board is installed in a museum (spoiler alert?).

In the second half of the legend, Cormac sets out on a quest to find his family. He travels to the otherworld and is tested by Manannan Mac Lir, admitting his mistake, and regaining his family. It is a long and hard quest, and he returns to his kingom wiser for it.

It just strikes me that masking everything with an easy solution and paying for it with people's lives is... a very timely metaphor. And the way back is gonna be difficult.

3/3
