#OperationJailbreak uses lessons from Ukraine to help weapons talk to each other
At a #US #army base, 100s of engineers wielding laptops and Monster Energy drinks are helping the army do something Ukrainians have learned on the battlefield — make weapons talk to each other.
#Hackathon came about after chief executives of nine defence firms, from General Dynamics and Boeing to Anduril and Palantir, received an SOS from army secretary Dan Driscoll.

Title: P0: IT Professionals Against Education and Tests [2025-10-24 Fri]

Why do IT professionals work on open-source projects
without pay, while certified non-IT people—just some
folks with basic clicking abilities and degrees from
pointless universities—end up working at big companies?

Your certificates and universities have no real IT
professionals. Let’s fight against them even harder! #education #certificates #jobs #hackathon #tests #interview

@linmob I gave a talk yesterday on the #eudi_wallet and feasibility of an implementation for #mobilelinux at the @phosh community meeting. Comments/corrections very welcome! Slides were intended to be presented with some additional comments, but might be interesting anyways: https://hardwarenahe-it.gitlab-ce-pages.hs-bochum.de/eudi-wallet/

Are there any folks interested in participating the #hackathon on #eudi_wallet to explore options to make it compatible with #floss / #linux systems? https://eudi-wallet.gov.de/en/events/hackathon

And at the bottom of one of my too many "project boxes" I found this 5G WiFi USB dongle.

Not much to look at, but it saved me on a hackathon 2 years ago. My "older but good enough" laptop only did 2.4G WiFi, but my venue only had 5G WiFi available 😭

Yes, in hindsight, my laptop was not good enough!

The one and only time I have waited outside a Currys for it to open 😄

It saved me, and the hackathon was an absolute blast - the skills I learnt then, I still use today!
