It's been a handful of days since I turned off my smartphone and I've already noticed some changes. My long dormant keypad typing skills are coming back which is fun. My anxiety about not having a smartphone is starting to fade. I'm really enjoying my single purpose devices (nex-5, xteink4, gbc, Voyager 2). Auto complete typing made me nervous. Having a notification light on my phone is a game changer. We'll see how it goes but I don't think I'm going back.

I find stack overflow security bugs fascinating; and on Linux, compilers still don't protect against stack overflows by default when stack frames are bigger than stack guard pages.

So I went looking around in Android, and thanks to how Android's RPC mechanism allows recursive synchronous callbacks in some cases, I managed to find a way to jump a thread guard page in system_server from shell context and (with very low success rate) get instruction pointer control:

Good News! ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‘€

I am delighted to finally announce today what I've been working on in the past few weeks:

Privacy Guides' new Activism section! :awesome:
https://privacyguides.org/activism/

The Activism section offers a new way to empower the digital rights community. It will progressively grow with more tools to support the community in its privacy activism effort, both for individuals and organizations ๐Ÿ’›

As Privacy Guides' new Activism & Outreach Lead, I will be working hard on developing this section even further in the coming weeks, adding many more tools to support our community.

I hope this can be a helpful resource for anyone who is ready to fight for privacy rights โœŠ๐Ÿ”’

The โ€˜Buy Canadianโ€™ consumer movement is more than just talk โ€” and now the numbers prove it esp in coffee, fruit juices, travel and stocks.

โ€œCanadians took almost 10 million or 25 per cent fewer trips to the US last year.

The biggest drop was in trips across the border by land which fell by 8.4 million or 30 per cent.

Trips by air were down 1.2 million or 12 per cent.โ€

Me: No, it's just heavy metals, c'mon.
Them: And yet you use lead in your pencils!
Me: Wait, what? No, I use graphite in my pencils, what are you...
Them: And you like leaded gasoline!
Me: No, I really don't.
Them: And car batteries! Those have heavy metals like lead!
Me: I wish they didn't, but sure, you got me. I use lead somewhere. I still don't *eat* my car batteries, though.
Them: *increments "heavy metal user" column in OKRs*

@smallcircles๐Ÿซง socialcoding.. relatively quiet respite near the bathrooms at an overcrowded music festival when I can still hear the music from the stage but I'm not interested in the acts right now, and people are having semi private conversations around me that they've been wanting to have all day but waiting until they could hear each other, and the people chatting are here to see the same bands as me.

Statistics nerds...this is for you.
A nice uprecords output of the BSD Cafe endpoint VPS (where almost all the traffic flows).

Please note:
* up 958 days, 02:14:56 | since Wed Jul 19 17:13:02 2023
* down 0 days, 00:45:22 | since Wed Jul 19 17:13:02 2023
* %up 99.997 | since Wed Jul 19 17:13:02 2023

99.997 uptime - 45 minutes of total downtime in 958 days, considering upgrades, reboots, etc. (and a migration).

Terminal screenshot showing a root shell prompt on a host named โ€œbsdcafevmโ€ running the command uprecords. The output displays a ranked list of the systemโ€™s longest uptimes.
A table with columns โ€œ#โ€, โ€œUptime | Systemโ€, and โ€œBoot upโ€ lists the top 10 uptime records. The longest uptime (rank 1) is 91 days, 03:14:34 on FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE, booted Wed Jun 18 15:12:43 2025. The second entry is 91 days, 01:18:44 on FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p3, booted Wed Sep 17 18:27:50 2025. Other entries include various FreeBSD 14.x releases and patch levels, with uptimes ranging from 73 days down to 45 days. Boot dates span from early 2024 through late 2025.
Below the table, a highlighted current session entry (marked with an arrow) shows rank 45 with an uptime of 0 days, 00:00:32 on FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p9, booted Tue Mar 3 19:10:38 2026.
At the bottom, summary statistics show:
