Holy shit, i did it, lol. It looks terrible, but it works.
For people who haven't been keeping up with this project, I've been doing ceramics for a couple years now, and recently people kept tagging me in posts about a European feminist hacker collective that was making circuit boards out of court they dug out of the ground and fired in a campfire.
After having an epiphany about some experimental copper ceramics glazes i made last year, i thought i would see if i could solder to them, and i found that i could.
Sooo ... I made a stamp and stamped out some really basic boards for an astable multivibrator (two blinky lights) circuit. I filled the recessed traces with copper powder and had them fired in our pottery kiln.
Now i have ceramic circuit boards.
The Russian botnet has now created over 2,500 inauthentic accounts on 180 Mastodon servers. These accounts spam propaganda, follow each other to increase federation, connect to Bluesky via the bridge to spread their content there, and create unlimited invite links for their bots to follow.
IFTAS reports each one we find, and to date roughly 60% of these accounts have been suspended.
Our AUD denylist would silence or suspend the bulk of the remaining 40% of accounts.

Privacy is online safety ✊️
That's why the UK government gets it so wrong with ever more online ID checks.
Either sensitive data gets stockpiled for attack, or people are driven to riskier parts of the Internet. It's lose-lose.

Overnight and into the morning, Ukraine came under a massive combined russian attack.
In Kyiv, one person was killed and at least 33 injured, including a one-month-old baby who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. Rescue workers are still clearing the rubble.

Safari 26.5 is here! It includes the `:open` pseudo-class, the `element-scoped` keyword for `random()`, `color-interpolation` for SVG gradients, the `ToggleEvent.source` property for popovers, and the Origin API.
And a ton of polish and fixes.
