Another amazing quote from Joseph Browning.

Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.

His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.

I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:

FIRST is honored to be part of the launch of the Common Good Cyber Fund, as recently announced by the Common Good Cyber secretariat!🛡️

This groundbreaking initiative will strengthen global cybersecurity by supporting nonprofits that deliver critical services protecting civil society actors at high risk and the Internet as a whole.

As incident response professionals, we know firsthand how nonprofit organizations serve as the frontline defense for Internet security, yet remain severely underfunded. This fund addresses that critical gap.

🌍 The impact: Supporting nonprofits that maintain core digital infrastructure and provide cybersecurity assistance to high-risk actors including journalists and human rights defenders.

🤝 The backing: All G7 Leaders have announced support, with UK and Canada leading joint investment.

🎯 Our commitment: FIRST believes in a strong, diverse cybersecurity ecosystem. This fund will provide the long-term support our community needs to make the Internet safe for all.

Together with the Internet Society, Global Cyber Alliance and fellow secretariat members, we're building a safer digital future for everyone.

Lokjo - a European online map (@lokjo@mapstodon.space)

Moin moin Europe! And we're carefully back online again, with a few exceptions. https://www.lokjo.com First, a huge thanks to https://www.geoapify.com for understanding the situation and delivering tiles while we fix a replacement. There's 3 exceptions, for the moment: - A basic OSM map display. (modern version comes back later) - No satellite images. (if somebody knows a EU provider that would be great) - the feedback form is taken offline. (no time for that) That's all for now.

We did some work on this theme years ago during lockdown. Might still be of some value though!

Echo chamber of power: Trump’s perilous pursuit of ‘white manhood’

The white man, failing to maintain his hegemonic

The Mail & Guardian
I heard people saying that the obvious reason US Gov officials were using Signal was so that they could use disappearing messages and avoid creating an audit trail. Does that change with the revelation that they were actually using a version modified to add archiving?
Yup. Its because we have principles... "It is speculated that the US is trying to make an example of South Africa for taking Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), with Trump a close ally of Israel.
