’s project in , which uses novel technology, is the first new commercial reactor to receive federal approval in decade.
TerraPower design, which it calls developed with GE Hitachi, has several novel features. Probably most notable of these is the use of liquid for cooling and heat transfer.

I’ve been looking for a 4-leaf clover my entire life. Actively looking whenever I’m in a garden… and never found one.

Until today.

In a countryside train station, before hopping on a train to Como with my family.

I told my child and she immediately found another. She was so proud: “It’s my first 4-leaf clover!” (I immortalized the moment with my phone - the photo shows her hand picking it).

I’ll be pressing them in a book later today. Such precious keepsakes 💚

In 2025, I found 3 popular apps leaking sensitive user data thanks to simple security bugs. In this *very* deep-dive for subscribers, this is how I use network analysis tools (like Burp) to understand how apps and websites work & share your data — and how you can, too!

I explain how to get started with Burp and similar browser tools, we'll explore API basics, how to understand network requests, and how to get started. I'll also include examples for you to follow along.

It’s been a few months of everybody telling me that LLMs became awesome in December and meanwhile it seems like my results always suck. I thought I was just really unlucky or bad at it, but I’ve recently run into several people showing me “awesome” results which, upon closer inspection, actually kind of suck. My new working hypothesis is that I either have higher standards or that I pay more attention

Hey our MMO has decay so anything you build will decay over real time and if you dont log in every month your stuff will all disappear

Me - well i shall simply take all my stuff i have carefully farmed and built, break it down to valuable parts and then store it all in the bank so i dont have to log in

Me returning to game much later, oh fuck what is all this stuff, oh fuck this is going to take so much work, wait do i want to play this even, i just gave myself homework to pack it back up

5chの騒動について色々思った。私はレジストラやドメインというものに、ある種の希望を持っていた。インターネットを使うアプリケーションはドメインを鍵にして多くの情報を紐付ける。だからDNSを紐付けるドメインを発行するレジストラには、その下のサービスの信頼性を運命づける大きな役割がある。そこが特定の考えでアカウントの剥奪を行うというのは、いくらそれが社会的な悪とはいえ、法的な手続きなしにやってしまってもいいものだろうか?これはインターネットをささえる「ドメイン」自体の信頼に傷をつけているように見えてならない。

@privacyguides does amazing work... but they've really outdone themselves with their new Activist Toolbox. This is for *everyone*, not just activists - a treasure trove of well-organized advice and wisdom. Check it out and SHARE!!

We spoke with a new FreeBSD user who shared how he’s exploring the system and learning more about features like jails while working through the book Absolute FreeBSD. He also mentioned that he stopped by the booth after seeing on our website that FreeBSD would be at SCALE.

If you're new to FreeBSD and looking for a place to start, we’ve put together resources to help guide you:

What helped you most when you first started using FreeBSD?

"I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. I never expected a lot of things. But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage... It's the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here."

@mntmnminute Yes! And also, I'd argue there's a cultural reason.

When I first started using a libre desktop, xscreensaver's customizability, while seemingly unimportant, really helped me *feel* a sense of being able to be part of my computer. I'd argue this feeling and experience and sense of whimsy is actually really important for fostering a drive of curiosity. Screensavers, especially those with lots of little fiddly knobs, are a great low-entry way of getting people to experience that.

@lcamtuflcamtuf :verified: :verified: :verified: @wdormannWill Dormann this has been my experience too. I always have to launch a shell, edit the registry, disconnect the network. It's a whole dance to bypass the online account requirement. Though I very recently found this website to generate autounattend.xml files and it's been a game changer for setting up lab VMs. Configure it once to for local accounts, disabling bloat, etc, then use it to install all my lab VMs from then on.

As a human being you have the right to be able to understand the world. That is why education is so important.

Any technology that hinders your understanding (even if it seemingly gives you capabilities) is deeply in- and anti-humane.
