Repost, 3rd time

So you recommend non existent solutions to an existing problem… Or what qr code are you writing about?

Bluetooth jammers exist, but they can’t stop cameras recording in a glasses. Bluetooth by itself is not the problem with the glasses, it’s just a symptom, I guess they have some internal memory, so if you jam the connection between the glass and the phone you just delay the recording, don’t stop it.

And you also jam others trying to detect the glasses, so you may be actually helping the bad actor.

No, pip is for libraries, and for running scripts in virtual environments (venv). Recent versions of pip don’t work outside venvs. For installing packages systemwide use something like pipx, which creates venvs automagically and runs the script there.

What if it’s behind you? You can’t see it even if you know what it looks like while your phone can scan it.

I think we are not far away from the point where it will be virtually indistinguishable from regular glasses with any type of frame.

Defense against airtag spying works the same way, unfortunately we currently don’t have a better defense

As the code was vibecoded, I guess that landing page was also llm generated, that could be the reason for the duplicate sections.

What is/was huntarr? I love posts without any context.

Do you have a demo hosted somewhere? For a project like this it would be useful.

You can only create users in the command line? Or is this just the first user? Not very user friendly though.

Similar project I used before is cal.com. They have a hosted version, with a free, limited tier, or you can host it yourself:

• https://cal.com/
• https://github.com/calcom/cal.com

On average 6000 people work on osm daily globally, creating 40000 changesets. That’d around one changeset per 3 seconds.

You can browse statistics like these here: https://osmstats.neis-one.org/

That’s 2 different things. Gnome is hard dependent on systemd (or will be, I don’t follow its development that closely), but not part of it. This was big news last year: https://blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2025/06/10/gnome-systemd-dependencies/

That’s what I write about at the end. And I think this is not good.

You can disable modules of systemd, if you want to use alternatives. E.g. systemd-resolved is part of systemd, but usually disabled by default (at least on Arch), and you can use different dns resolvers if you want, like resolvconf from freebsd, or the linux kernel has built in functionality for this as well. https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/resolv.conf.5.html

This is a module of systemd, installed with it, but you can disable it and use alternatives. A lot other parts work this way in systemd.

Systemd is somewhat modular, as you don’t have to use every feature of it. They will be still sitting on your drive, but not consuming any cpu cycles. Like the kernel. It’s not a problem it contains code for hardware you don’t have, but somehow it’s a problem for systemd

It’s not true everything is running as pid 1. on my pc these are running under different pids, you can check it yourself, you should see something similar: ps aux | grep systemd

systemd-journald
systemd-timesyncd
systemd-udevd
systemd-logind
systemd-machined

I agree it’s a problem it’s becoming a hard dependency for a lot of semi related projects though, it would be healthier for the whole ecosystem if systemd would be replaceable.

Chown is part of GNU Coreutils, a common alternative for that is Busybox.

I guess the problem is not the repetitive task, but electron microscopes are expensive to use, and while you create your gifs others can’t use it for actual research. They need vacuum and high voltage to work, which cost money.

I found that to create nice and and clean noise free image you need minutes to hours of exposure time, so it’s possible that gif took hours to take. Someone had to pay for the electricity bill during that, I guess you don’t want to pay for that frequently.

Please correct me if you are someone with actual experience with electron microscopes. It’s hard to find info on this topic.

These are not really post apocalyptic, or we have a different definition of an apocalypse. They are just federated, and work offline, but it assumes you still have electricity and access to modern hardware.

More post apocalyptic solutions existed for ages, my “favorite” is Collapse OS: It assumes all supply chains of hardware manufacturing will disappear, so we have to build with what we have: https://collapseos.org/

Searched only for “electron microscope zoom”, it was like the 10th result. It seems like there isn’t a lot of gif like this, as you have to create a lot of images one by one.

The GIF was created by James Tyrwhitt-Drake back in 2012, when he captured the images at the University of Victoria’s Advanced Microscopy Facility and posted the final product to his Tumblog, Infinity Imagined.

We made test once with a friend, where we could hear a difference.

The setup was a Denon reciever, and one speaker was connected with a random cable, the other one is a pure copper, braided audiophile cable. The pc was connected with toslink to the reciever. Played the music as mono, and we switched between the left-right speakers.

The only difference we could hear were very high pitched glockenspiel sounds from a flac file. That’s all. Any other music sounded the same. But the point was, there is a very little difference, even it’s rare to find a song where you can actually hear it.

This was the song where it was clearly audible, but I guess you can’t hear it on youtube, as mp3 already cuts off that high frequencies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kh-3xkye6A

Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command (‘command injection’) in Windows Notepad App allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

An attacker could trick a user into clicking a malicious link inside a Markdown file opened in Notepad, causing the application to launch unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

TIL notepad can render markdown

You can create scripts in Nautilus which adds options to the rightclick menu, then you can assign keybinds to them: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Files#Custom_scripts This is Arch wiki, but this applies to all distros

What “rooted into me” means?

Did the attacker just exposed something about their system to you?

There are a lot academics on mastodon, check out this list: https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon

Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin aka the threadiverse is not for this type of networking, you should try the twitter alternative side of the fediverse. You can still follow lemmy communities from there.
