The US government is drumming up fear about foreign routers, a pretty serious supply chain attack might be state-sponsored, and the safety of filesystems inside VMs.
Angus McIntyreWhatever the hypesters may tell you, LLMs do NOT reason. Given two conflicting versions of a story, they’ll go for the one that is repeated more often. The sequence of tokens representing a false narrative is – if the astroturfers have done their job right – statistically more probable than the sequence representing a factual account, so it's the false narrative that will get coded into the model and trotted out on demand.

concretedogI'm going to have to close my @tindie store. I get occasional orders to the US but atm it just takes ages to find the new tariff stuff the mail service needs and I have to pay the trumpian tarrifs this end... I have no option to increase prices just for US customers... and it's all just a bit naff. For the few UK sales I have I might just go ebay as it incurs no fees... or perhaps I need to launch a UK open source hardware market... Put my tindie shop on vacation mode for a month... #ponders
OggCampThe Swap Shop is back this year! It's a way for you to get rid of those parts you bought for a project that never went anywhere, and/or find new things for a future project that might go somewhere interesting! Bring your items to OggCamp with you, and then bring them to the table.
We do have some rules so be sure to have a read of the post about it here:
John LeachHad a long weekend in North Wales. Drove around with a Meshcore radio device but barely saw any data. Managed to get a couple of messages back to a friend in Huddersfield but delivery acknowledgements couldn't get back to me.
Looks like there is coincidentally a lot more meshcore activity in the North of England, where I live!
Although I do think I need to learn a bit more about how it works as I'm not sure my testing was the best (mostly just watching the packet logs!)
Just received my #xteinkx4 #ereader and immediately flashed it with #opensource CrossPoint firmware... absolutely in love with the smol beauty!
Built a test network using the #Reticulum stack over two #LoRa #rnode, (Heltec V4)
I even managed a phone call!

May has actually been using her stack of laptops and learning that “legacy” distros make more sense, the Firefox flatpak performs better than other packages, Linux Mint is a fine distro, Linux has the best calculators, and GNOME’s scaling is really good now.
We are thrilled to announce that the main stage schedule for OggCamp 2026 is now officially live.
