Always fun when tech woks as expected!

My mesh drone detector that combines a drone detection and mapping sensor with a Meshtastic radio caught a drone flyover this morning and, as it was supposed to, it sent notices to a private Meshtastic channel to notify me of this.

I have the sensor deployed at WrewHQ to give me monitoring capabilities of what’s in the air overhead. I combine this with ADS-B to have s picture of the airspace above me.

Anyway… it worked! Yay!

It seems like the AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges. Anubis is a tool hosted on our infrastructure that requires browsers to do some heavy computation before accessing Codeberg again. It really saved us tons of nerves over the past months, because it saved us from manually maintaining blocklists to having a working detection for "real browsers" and "AI crawlers".

welp guess I am done for the day. I guess this is one way to embrace inbox zero

something wild though: over NINETY PERCENT of developers in our New Developer study agreed that "helping other people is an important part of being a software developer"

NINETY PERCENT?! And this was a really diverse (geographically, industry, demographics) sample

Even for people who otherwise believed they were on a very harsh team, and that programming isn't a universally obtainable activity

In the most recent program management update from the Rust Project, you'll find valuable notes on things like 2025 H1 & H2 goals, quorum-based cryptographic verification and mirroring for https://crates.io, Rust for #linux, and more.

Thank you to the #rustlang Project's Edition & Goals teams for their transparency in providing these updates: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2025/08/05/program-management-update-2025-07/

想下載「字嶼」網站提供的免費字型的朋友最好多想一下。

你幫它填問券、註冊下載免費字體的網站，乍看是台灣網站，但既不揭露公司名稱、統編、聯絡電話與公司簡介，用字還會出現中國用語，甚至說支援「台語常用字」，事實上完全沒有，又說支援「台語註音」(它就是這麼寫的，但它想講的是ㄅㄆㄇ)，最後一查，網站domain在中国。

那麼它要你填問券跟註冊的目的是什麼？

@mcc I wish there was something like Nebula for open source projects where it could assess what I'm using and just split this $50 among the projects or something.

pro tip for keeping your car healthy make sure it still has an engine. when cars don't have engines they get very distraught

@QueenOfTheCroneAgeKim

Bit of a long shot, but figured I'd ask:

If you're running fortiSIEM, can you run watchtowr's CVE-2025-25256 detection artifact generator (https://github.com/watchtowrlabs/watchTowr-vs-FortiSIEM-CVE-2025-25256?ref=labs.watchtowr.com) and send me a pcap with the artifacts included?

It's for work, so I would not post the pcap anywhere. I just would love to have a pcap of the script running against an actual system so I can make sure the tag is as accurate as possible. You can send the pcap to brianna[AT]greynoise[.]io

I finished building the Story Composer for @PixelFed ✨

We're not quite ready to deploy this yet, with these new interactive elements I need to:

- Store them with hitSlop dimensions
- Render the links in both webUI and mobile
- Update federation to handle the interactive layer

And eventually publish a FEP for this, we already have Stories on web, and I can't wait to bring them to our mobile app!

A huge missed opportunity of the Carney government is its failure to capitalize on the brain drain happening in the US. Canada is perfectly placed to welcome those scientists and academics. I'd bulk up the NRC and hire as many as possible as quickly as possible, then figure out what to do with them later. It could have a generational impact like project paperclip's, priceless.

[Poll]

How many open source projects do you financially support (ie recurring donations of any frequency)?

(If you donate to an umbrella organization with the intent it will support multiple projects on your behalf, I guess probably count that organization as 1 project.)
