💖 Lovers gonna Love (S2024-E13)

Planet Dyne is a large body in space. Nobody knows exactly how large as it sometimes expands and sometimes contracts. But what constitutes this planet are the inhabitants, the dynes. You may have encountered some of the most visible ones talking about beautiful things like Diversity, Open-source, or Ecology. There is a strong sense of autonomy in a dyne, which can give the impression that a dyne operates stand-alone. But this is not how it works.

The planet is organized in a circular dynamic: each dyne is being backed up by its peers while simultaneously backing them up. It would be a stretch to assume that dynes love chores, but a dyne is certainly fueled by a genuine passion for the task at hand. We like thinking but prefer doing. It's made possible by a core set of values: love for each other and presumption of kindness.

Every dyne matters. The dyne chiming away at a guitar while upholding the infrastructure. The dyne crunching numbers, making sure food and shelter are secured. The dyne reviewing pull requests and the dyne submitting them. The dynes practicing their civic responsibilities, trying to save the climate in between git commits. The dynes painting on canvases of textile or screens. Those who plumber the Domain Name Systems while tilting the flippers. Write a thesis and secure the network. Advocate for a circular economy, from north to south. Apply for grants and attend the important meetings. Camping cryptographers, educational designers… Multidisciplinary dynes stepping up, and in, for each other is the gravity that holds the planet together. Sometimes unseen but never forgotten, this issue is for you, fellow dyne.

♻️ We are getting CLOSER!

Circular raw materials for EU strategic autonomy on chips and microelectronics production

We are launching a new project: CLOSER! We are proud to have our spinoff Forkbomb.solutions to be the software development partner of this new European project. Our mission is to develop a Digital Product Passport (DPP) for chips and microelectronics components. While we gear up for requirements you can read more about our DPP research so far on Springer Open Access.

🙀 Drama in the stack

A hacker with a strong meme game finds an open door inside the good ol' CUPS. At first, no one believes that the door is there, but a point is proven and a slight shit show ensues, demonstrating that disclosing security issues is very hard. It turns out that telling a coder that their thing is broken can bruise egos pretty severely.

👽 E.T phone home

Our phones. We feed them, sleep with them, talk to them, carry them everywhere. They're omnipresent in our life. But can we trust them? The short answer is: no. But hey, you could always fall back to talkie-walkies. Or why not build a Meshtastic node?

🏚️ Democracy, but light

While the overlords are eating away at Democracy, most inhabitants of the galaxy are spending countless hours every day bending their necks to create value for the overlords to chip away at Democracy. It's unclear if this is a new form of hamster wheel, or just the same old illusionist party-trick being pulled again.

LunarDAO II | DarkFi R&D Donation

A cool collab emerges. LunarDAO and Darkfi launch an R&D campaign and invite you to become a part of it. If you have spare cryptos, this is a good place to put them at work.

⚙️ When you hack them, Chromebooks are finally useful

Chromebooks are probably one of the most exemplary materializations of the cognitive dissonance taking place in ICT industry. These computers would not exist without a plethora of FLOSS and related projects, and at the same time, all this technological openness is by design obfuscated and restricted to create an ecosystem that is as closed as possible, and designed for planned obsolescence. Fortunately, there are dynes out there busy hacking them.

💩 Poop-o-matic

Nothing pisses off the Internet quite like killing cats. But if laziness is involved, trade-offs are made. Cats are cute, and just like all fluffy things they poop. They're smart enough to do it in a box, but not everyone is smart enough to think of maintenance tasks before deciding to get a cat. Thus, some tech-bros have invented self-cleaning litter-boxes for the money. You will never guess what happened next...

🎃 Grave season

All Saints until proven otherwise. Spooktober is an opportune moment to visit graveyards. Turns out you can do that from the comfort of your device. Light a candle for a service that you miss. Thoughts, prayers, and all that jazz!

Jaromil is announced as the first speaker at the FIDES Plugfest on November 7! In his keynote “Identity Wallet Roast”, he will be serving up a critical take on the latest developments in European Digital Identity wallets.Since the European Commission launched its “toolbox” for digital identities in June 2021, the journey has been anything but smooth. While the initiative aims to create a robust framework with common standards, delays and concerns around privacy and security persist.

Jaromil will dissect the evolving Architecture Reference Framework (#ARF), highlighting both innovative solutions and common pitfalls to watch out for.Join us for insights, laughs, and a lively roast of the digital identity landscape! 🔥

We are running a lot of seminars!
