@rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyWatching the next few months will tell you which companies care about actual technology, which are just riding the marketing hype train, and which are pure Trump sycophants.
@sophieschmieg.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyReposted by @rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyOh God, this is getting even worse: apparently the "source" of the claim that AI might have broken classical cryptography is the fact that some numbers are skipped in the OpenAI math dump. You know, that same dump that doesn't even have formal verification on more than half of the results and […]

@rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gySmall update: Instead of banning outgoing UDP port 53, I now NAT (redirect) it to the local #PiHole, which works better than rejecting the hard-coded 8.8.8.8 server.
Another small update: https://github.com/furkan-bayrak/lg-tv-blocklist seems to be a good up-to-date DNS block list for PiHole […]

@rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyMy LG TV has finally been shame-banned to be on the IoT VLAN instead of the normal LAN. It meant some additional (now very specific) firewall rules, although my #OPNsense UDP Broadcast Relay config already takes care of mDNS/Chromecast/etc.
It is now also explicitly banned from bypassing my […]

A good-looking but somewhat depressing exposé about the people holding up current digital infrastructure as a hobby.
@ilumium.eupolicy.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyAnd I just love the unofficial French reaction quoted by The Guardian:
"A diplomatic source at #France’s foreign ministry said “there’s absolutely no reason for us to change our commitments” when it came to supporting the conference."
“We stick to supporting #CivilSociety. It’s not just […]
@ilumium.eupolicy.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyAfter #RightsCon26 it's the second time this year that authoritarian governments attack and (here: attempt to) shut down a #CivilSociety conference and it's another massive warning shot for Europe.
Excellent reporting about the #Disinfo2026 scandal from The Guardian […]
@ploum.mamot.fr.ap.brid.gyReposted by @rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyA software always runs on a computer. A software always do what its creator wants it to do. If the software doesn’t do what its creator wanted, it is a mistake from the coder, a bug. If the software runs without the consent of the computer’s owner, it is a malware/virus. Stopping a software […]

@msbellows.c.im.ap.brid.gyReposted by @rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyI'm so old, I remember when software that spread into the wild and infiltrated other people's computers and did harmful things to them that the users didn't ask it to was called "malware" instead of "AI" and the perpetrators were prosecuted instead of given billions in venture capital and […]

@rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyHow long will it take for #OpenAI to be charged with attacking other computing systems? If individuals were being found out doing all these things, they would likely already have been under intense investigation or been arrested.
@alberto-cottica.mastodon.green.ap.brid.gyReposted by @rene-mobile.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gyThis is very interesting: preliminary estimates of the costs of the 2026 heat waves in #Belgium are at or above 1% of GDP. One estimate says it will offset the entire predicted economic growth for 2026.
So, the powers that be refuse to take #climateAction because it would jeopardize "growth" […]
