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?

@jaykuo I'm only sad that I moved out of Tx because I can no longer vote for Allred/against Cruz. Sure hope Allred wins!

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 ...

Actually, it was worse than that for me. I cut my teeth on raw HTML, and whenever I had to deal with dreamweasel generated sites I'd end up having to cut a ton and a half of redundant crap in order to fit the then-relevant pageweight rules (remember those?). I hated the bloat!

I'd rather have gotten the raw copy and hand-coded it. It would have saved me time.

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."

@campuscodi Makes sense. The OP makes it look like they revealed which plugin.

@campuscodi Interested in more details on this. What plugin?
