@Jain It really was hard on Rico, with beamer reboots, activating the heavy-duty ventilator he had to shout against and then the local guys carrying around equipment. Really kudos for him to still manage the seven sinking steps besides handling the presentation under hardened conditions.

Hat es im Trinkwasser der Universität Luzern etwas, was es woanders nicht gibt? Oder wie kommt die #UniLU *jetzt* auf diese Ideen? Und gleich 6x?Dabei gab es doch erst letztes Jahr eine Publikation «Was Blockchain *wirklich* leistet» (Hervorhebung von mir), die auflistete, dass #Blockchain eben nichts #wirklich leistet.https://dnip.ch/2023/03/06/gottlieb-duttweilers-blockchain-wirklich/h/t @nohillside

Wenn sie wenigstens #Blockchain durch #KI ersetzt hätten (nicht, dass das einen riesigen Unterschied gemacht hätte)@nohillside

Weiter unten in der Liste ist Professur Nummer 7 von 9 (aka "seven of nine"):Professur für Makroökonomie und #Blockchain(Anderswo wird berichtet, dass insgesamt 9 Professuren eingerichtet werden; bisher scheinen aber nur 7 davon benannt zu sein.)https://www.unilu.ch/universitaet/personal/personaldienst/offene-stellen/

@toor Good basic advice.However, if your OS does reliably prevent USB data exchange, you might still be able to use "free USB" connectors.(Of course, your own charger might also be better at preventing accidental or purposeful overvoltage on the #USB pins…)

@toor I didn't mean the old-style cable solutions, but newer-style firmware/software solutions. Haven't looked deeper but @GrapheneOS #USB #attack surface minimization sounds good.https://grapheneos.org/features#usb-c-port-and-pogo-pins-control

@GrapheneOS @toor Wow! Definitely the longest, most competent answer to an @ mention I've ever seen. Thanks! (And thanks for #GrapheneOS! I ordered a new #Pixel this weekend just to be able to try it out. 😊)

Falls euch eine Mischung aus #ReadyPlayerOne für Erwachsene, des heutigen Saudiarabiens und #TotalRecall mit einer Prise #1001Nacht gefallen könnte: Ich habe gerade das erste Drittel von #Neopolis verschlungen 🤩#Buchempfehlung #ScienceFiction #KarlOlsberg

@Jain Bin nach ¾ immer noch sehr erfreut über meine Auswahl. Trotzdem zwei kleine Wermutstropfen:1️⃣ Beim Ausdruck der Gefühle stellt sich #Olsberg etwas hölzern an (und dafür kann man den Übersetzer nicht verantwortlich machen, es ist ja das Original).2️⃣ Einige Entscheidungen von Charakteren sind zu wenig nachvollziehbar.Trotzdem für mich eines der besten neuen Bücher des Genres! Werde heute nochmals in den Buchladen pilgern und gleich Teil 2 holen!#Neopolis

The true geeks among you will appreciate this:How to convert a day number (and, transitively) a number of seconds since an calendar start date ("epoch", e.g. 1970-01-01) into a readable date in only 24 CPU cycles.https://www.benjoffe.com/fast-date-64

"Craft a single network packet to obtain root": I had hoped that this type of vulnerability hat been eliminated.At least, the Router Advertisement packets should generally not be able to cross routers.Patch your #FreeBSD systems now.#rtsol #rtsoldhttps://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-25:12.rtsold.asc

Home robots will be teleoperated. So, you will buy the labor of 24/7 immigrants without having them in your neighborhood. #Apartheid perfected."In reality, projects like Tesla’s Optimus or 1X’s NEO are less about practical consumer robotics and more about cashing in off of technological hype. […] the field of humanoid #robotics remains a playground for bag-chasing tech founders. Which means for now, your best bet to finish those chores will be a pair of human hands."https://futurism.com/future-society/robot-servant-neo-remote-controlled
