Anker’s Eufy breaks its silence on security cam security

"Anker is finally taking a stab at a public explanation... Unfortunately, it contains no apology, and doesn’t begin to address why anyone would be able to view an unencrypted stream in VLC Media Player on the other side of the country, from a supposedly always-local, always-end-to-end-encrypted camera" #eufy #privacy

The Washington Post is the newspaper most likely to try stuff and I'm delighted that @jeremybowers says they're spinning up a Mastodon instance as we speak. Bravo.

The IBM 704 was the first mass-produced computer with floating-point arithmetic hardware. The 704 used vacuum tube logic circuitry and core memory.

This is a IBM 704 introduced by IBM in 1954. 1:16 scale model, hand made in mostly polystyrene.

BIG NEWS: Pawoo.net, the world's 2nd biggest Mastodon instance, has just been acquired.

The entity acquiring them is the Mask Group, a business that also runs mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud. They are also active in the so-called "Web 3.0" space.

If you haven't heard of pawoo.net, it's because many instances have de-federated from it.

I've been invited to do an AMA on Reddit tomorrow. Verifying that's really me!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/zqfr4h/ama_with_eugen_rochko_founder_and_lead_developer/

AMA with Eugen Rochko, Founder and lead developer of Mastodon, a decentralized, open-source social media platform based on open web protocols. Ask your questions here!

Are there plans to allow 'how many time a toot has been favorited' to be used as a sort criteria? If not, why was the decision taken to not use...
