Ever had a spark plug clean blow out on you when driving? They're well under a year old as I put them in myself...

Watching this just makes me so goddamn angry. You knew it was happening, but seeing tons of small businesses that made real things that added real value to the world get swept away by five or six giant trillion-dollar companies laundering money between each other is some serious hell-planet shit.

A cartoon drawing resembling an old magazine advertisement. It is titled “Dog in Zero Batteries,” with a black dog leaping through a large zero. Two wolves hold a flashlight and radio, saying “the light is swallowed,” and “the sound is absorbed.” A battery is shown with two negative terminals. At bottom, text reads “Something is taken away™️”

Remote attestation is a heavily underdiscussed threat to computing freedom. People often mistakenly dismiss it with "I will run my own fork (of the OS or browser) / Magisk", not understanding that with hardware attestation, you're literally unable to 1/
Remote attestation explained with wojaks.
A bunch of normies' computers/phones are sending a cryptographic proof that their hardware+software is FAANG-approved and signed.

So the cloud service returns the content they're asking for.

A fourth wojak is unable to provide such cryptographic proof (because he runs non-FAANG-approved local software), and gets denied access

in case you missed it, we decided to fork KeePassXC. (post linked in the screenshot below: keepassxc.org/blog/2025-11...) join us @ #keepasschi on libera.chat!
KeePassXC asks us to be skeptical of them if we are skeptical of LLMs. This is a convincing argument. A password manager doesn't need 300 regular contributors armed with 14 LLMs; it just needs to do its job, be stable, and be ported to Qt 6 already.

We are a small group of engineers with extensive open source maintenance and information security experience, and we forked KeePassχ from KeePassXC 2.7.10, the last release before the advent of the LLM policy linked above. We like using a robust, secure, and trustworthy password manager, so that's what we'll focus on. Anything on top of that is a bonus.

With printed media, you can just store it in a warehouse. When some company says "we never said that," you can go to the archives, fetch a newspaper, and that ends the argument. When the companies on their websites change stories, there is no archive outside the Internet Archive.

An extremely funny thing about retro rereleases that use unlicensed emulators is that you are basically committing the exact same crime (using software outside of the terms of its license) that has you so scared of downloading roms in the first place but now someone has monetized it.

Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? @yyzkevin.com's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/
A PCMCIA card with a label saying "YYZ Credit Card Adapter for Everything" in the style of the PCMCIA cards that IBM made back in the 90s. A small wifi antenna, SD card slot, and dongle connector are on the card's edge.
