I published some notes on OpenAI's new text-to-speech and speech-to-text models. They're promising, but like other LLM-driven multi-modal models they appear to suffer from the prompt-injection-adjacent problem of mixing instructions and data in the same token stream

Divide I've noticed: people who have never experienced systemic oppression in their own or their family's lives are treating this like business as usual. Those who have family memories of camps, unjust incarceration, or are part of vulnerable communities, are freaking out. Listen to the latter.
Hello Fediverse! #introduction
dComms is a project by eQualitie that provides a curated and secure deployment of decentralized communication tools for civil society including #Mastodon #Peertube #Element #DeltaChat etc. #dComms creates small-world networks for reliable communications in low-bandwidth environments, resistant to censorship and shutdowns.
We are now actively working on server deployments in partnership with NGOs in 5 countries and help local communities #migrate to the Fediverse

People who instinctively find the default #Anubis loading screen "weird", need to, like, take a long hard look into themselves and find out what's *actually* upsetting them about it. It's just a drawing.

I'm not a birthday person, but I turn 39 tomorrow and my brain likes this because 39 divided by 3 is 13 and 13 was a number I always loved, mostly because it is always associated with bad luck and when I was growing up especially, I was drawn to things that people assumed the worst of out of, like, a radical sense of defiance. Liking 13 was a way to correct an injustice I saw in the world.

Really, #Europarlement, I see nine social media buttons at the bottom of your site at:
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/portal/en
All to non public values driven, #privacy disrespecting #socialmedia platforms.
How is it possible that there is no #Mastodon button? Mastodon the only truly decentralized, public value driven, #opensource and independent social media platform.
How wil the #EU reach #DigitalSovereignty and #StrategicAutonomy when its #parlement gives such a bad example.
Practice what you preach!

The one feature that I really miss in X-Window that Wayland doesn't implement...
Don't laugh or smirk...
"unclutter"
If the mouse stops moving it should disappear after X seconds. Otherwise the desktop has this ugly cursor just sitting there doing nothing.
With the new Wayland cursor protocols is this something that could be implemented now?
Could it already be implemented but is an oversight?
I'm not even disappointed about network transparency.
🌋💻 OceanSprint 2025 – Day 4 🚀
We made great progress today! Fixes to the apache-airflow package, improvements to Snix and integration test support in nixpkgs, and a blog post on preventing the XZ backdoor.
Big strides in supply chain security too: packaged SPIFFE for secure identity, and improved SBOM support via Laut, integrating it with Lila to track build provenance.
Plus, we hiked up a volcano for epic views and enjoyed traditional paella! 🍽️
Another question for my #WebRTC friends: Do you know what *exactly* makes an audio stream sync up with a video stream in libwebrtc?
Is it the a=msid:<stream-id> <track-id> grouping on the sender side?
Is it the a=msid:<stream-id> <track-id> grouping on the receiver side?
Is it both? Or is it something else entirely, e.g. do we need to create a MediaStream from both tracks on the sender or the receiver? Or do we need to attach both audio and video tracks to the same <video> element?

I *loved* what Ruben said and how he said it. What a post!
I want to write like him when I grow up.
now you can run net/chrony in a FreeBSD service jail: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/1619
unfortunately it doesn't work with ntpd[0], for non-trivial reasons that i'm not really inclined to investigate since i don't use ntpd... but it seems like rc.d/ntpd sets some environment variables in its precmd that it expects to be available later in ntpd_start, but when svcj is enabled, that assumption doesn't hold, so ntpd ends up running without any command-line arguments.
but service jails seem pretty neat in general. i like that every service now has its own 'console' (stdout) log file under /var/log/svcj_${svcname}_console.log. hopefully in the future we can get some more fine-grained restrictions on services, like removing read/write filesystem access.
next task: get BIRD running with svcj. i suspect this might require some changes to permit a jail to modify the routing table. or at least, net_all doesn't say that it permits that.

All right, uv fans, need an assist:
I created a project with python 3.13. A dev dependency can't be installed due to a transient dependency not having wheels for 3.13.
How do I correctly downgrade my python version using uv?
