Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our new tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/meet-rayhunter-new-open-source-tool-eff-detect-cellular-spying
Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular Spying

Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.

Danish citizens have launched an online petition, signed by 200,000 people, to purchase California. The petition notes that purchasing the Golden State would provide Danes with more sunshine, dominance in the tech industry, limitless avocado toast, and easy access to Disneyland. In return, California would get the rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.

Can they buy Wisconsin, please? I'd take that offer! 😆

Call to #hackerspaces & #makerspaces around the world, lets join forces!

Hi. 👋 I make #OpenSource smart #thermostats that don't spy on you. I don't ship internationally for two reasons: financial cost and environmental cost. I'd like to join a network of Makerspaces to have them be produced regionally so people outside of America can get a pre-made unit.

Does this network already exist? If so, how do I join? If it doesn't exist, would you like to help build it?

The public could first download Netscape, the precursor to Firefox (and frankly every browser as we know them today), was released 30 years ago today according to @jwz https://www.jwz.org/blog/2024/10/mosaic-netscape-0-9-was-released-30-years-ago-today/ what a time! #netscape #browser #retrocomputing
Mosaic Netscape 0.9 was released 30 years ago today

According to my notes, it went live shortly after midnight on Oct 13, 1994. We sat in the conference room in the dark and listened to different sound effects fired for each different platform that was downloaded. At some point late that night I wandered off and wrote the first version of the page that loaded when you pressed the "What's Cool" button in the toolbar. (A couple days later, Jim ...

Obama: "The reason some people think, 'I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good.' Yeah it was pretty good, because it was my economy ... I had spent 8 years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me the last time."

"How long are you going to be cautious and wear masks?"

How long are you going to be cautious about car accidents and wear seatbelts?

How long are you going to be cautious about heart disease and keep exercising?

How long are you going to care about bike accidents and wear a helmet?

How long are you going to care about driving impaired and avoid drunk driving?

The better question: When will you take care with #COVID19? After you're chronically ill due to your 6th infection?

Book Review: "How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They're Built" by Stewart Brand

People who fart about with computers like to give themselves highfalutin titles. We're not programmers; we're architects! Yeah, nah. I wish I knew who recommended this book to me so that I could properly thank them. It is an astonishing series of life lessons viewed through the lens of architecture. Even to a lay-person like [...]

My sincere apologies
I fully admit
that sometimes my words
can be rather repetitive
but it is a challenge
not to repeat myself
as I sit near the end
of the pandemic’s fourth year
watching as we
repeat the same mistakes.
