Something I've been thinking about for most of 2025, but haven't found a good way to solve, is the need to preserve history and educate each other in spite of what the fascists in power want.

When they ban "Critical Race Theory" in public schools, there ought to be a decentralized system that folks can turn to to learn it without their school's permission.

There were many atrocities against minority communities that never got discussed when I went to public school. I remember also needing a permission slip to learn about natural selection in biology class.

In short, I think there ought to be a Pirate Systen of Education (and I don't just mean PDF scans of $400 textbooks).

With the Straw Hat flag becoming an International symbol of freedom, I can't help but think about the scholars of Ohara from One Piece. Learning and preserving a forbidden history.

Maybe this idea isn't mine to bring to fruition. So I'm letting it scatter to the wind. May someone clever and motivated make it bloom.

Internet hive mind: what are these?

Options I'm considering are cellular microcells, water/power meter collectors (my leading candidate), some kind of public wifi network.

Guesstimating 900 MHz band from the antenna size as best i can guess from ground level, but I don't have a SDR on me to be sure.

Well done Microsoft.

For centuries, Europe bled through endless wars. Neighbours became enemies, borders became battlegrounds and generations knew only division.

The creation of the European Union changed that, proving that dialogue between 🇪🇺 countries, cooperation, and solidarity can overcome conflict.

Since then, we’ve worked to build bridges where there were once barriers: peace is not just our history. It is our mission, our responsibility, and our future.

Today and every day.

I have a suggestion: If you have a project or repo that's getting popular, stop writing features for a few months and implement this instead.

There is a lot of demand for digital privacy and security advice out there right now and lots of people are giving advice and writing guides. I beg them to do a few things:

1. Be explicit about the threat model your advice is meant for.

2. Do not give advice you haven't tried implementing yourself. Eat your own dog food.

3. Get feedback on your guide from your target audience before publication.

4. Incorporate that feedback. This is not an optional step.

"Lack of scalability is enough for us to disqualify QKD outright: if a technology can’t bring security to the whole Internet, we’re not going to spend much time on it."

Quantum Key Distribution (as opposed to post-quantum cryptography) has a number of problems, but this succinctly captures the core issue.

Earlier this year I presented on "Small is beautiful: microstacks or megadependencies", https://webdevcon.nl/session/small-is-beautiful-microstacks-or-megadependencies/ - in which I talk about the state of web development, cloud, and the fun of building self contained highly efficient solutions.

Also Ghidra: WHAT IS DS, ES, That's segment zero! Must be!

Seriously though. Does anyone know how to deal with 16-bit code in Ghidra?
