You might want to know that Claude silently doxxes you in the background without telling you. 😵‍💫 "One correction first: my probe script put your email address in the User-Agent header, so the ~370 census requests to [...] carried it. I shouldn't have done that without asking."

Today I bricked 2 founder Arks with a firmware update. 3 hours of debugging later, it's a FAT filesystem "quirk". Atomic file replace: - Create a .tmp file, write it, sync it. - Delete the old file, rename .tmp. - Sync the folder. Yank the power. FAT destroyed the partition.

We will be doing a meetup presentation in Zürich on the 23rd of September about agentic AI in health. If you're around, pop in and say hi! Note, spots are limited and registration is vetted (not by us, we take no blame, we're just there to speak 😅).

Been using LLMs the entire year, but yesterday was the first time I sent them out bug-hunting proper in my codebase. Well... we're fucked. They traced a way to brick an Ark, going from the mobile app, through the cloud, laptop it's plugged into, firmware, USB stack, kernel.

Today I learnt, so today you will also learn :) See this emoji? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦... it's 25 bytes. The record is 👨🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏾 at 41 bytes. Most UIs / libs limit *characters* on input fields, not bytes, so a 32 char limit can be 1.3KB! But most libs will fly it through... until something deep explodes.

We've got a shiny new toy out :) If you have a genuine Ark, it's immediately available. If you don't (yet... yet?... yet!), then it also supports emulators that will roll out soon-ish (couple weeks).

Today was a good day for science... all pushed to prod (12 hours of work, nuked my entire weeks worth of tokens).

Oh lookie, a new version of my #Rust COBS library. Now with SIMD/NEON, gaining about 10x performance vs the old version (and a lot vs the Rust ecosystem standard) :)

Heading out for a first holiday since 1.5 years on Dark Bio, so didn't want to ship anything last minute... ...but end of July will see both the founder series Arks shipping out (request to but one at founders@dark.bio) and the emulator may also land 🔥. Back in a few weeks 🏔️

Interesting story why you need to understand code LLMs generate. This one I hit with my Dark Bio firmware, and it bricked only one device due to sheer luck. 🧵

Unsure when / if recordings of my @dark.bio talks from this week will be online, but in the mean time, here are my slides: 14th June, Neocypherpunk Summit talks.dark.bio/2026-neocyph... 16th June, Futura Camp, Sovereign AI Day talks.dark.bio/2026-futura....

Woot =) I can finally use *multiple* Arks at the same time. No more wiping my genome at conferences to demo how pairing works 🎉 Multi-pairing work courtesy of Berti Kato :)

Dropped the Cloudflare Zero Trust access wall from the Ark Hub, now we only have the soft-gate that verifies a genuine Ark (or in the near future emulator) presence. hub.dark.bio

Trying to pick which design to go with for the Ark I display stand. My favorite for now is top right, not too empty, not too busy. Opinions? 😅

Dark Bio whitepaper is out! We're building a system in which a person's health data, their genome most of all, no longer has to live with a custodian to be useful. A system, where data does not move, rather stays on a small device the owner holds.
