Flying drones used during the Ukraine war have changed land battle tactics for ever.
Now the same thing appears to be happening under the sea.
Navies around the world are racing to add autonomous submarines.

I never thought I’d see Waterworld on a list of «best of…» films. I mean, it’s a cheesy, fun movie — but good? Hm; maybe not. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/nov/27/youre-gonna-need-a-bigger-b…
Ah, a free update on the state of the legacy IP address market, from a spammer:
Subject: Spanish IPs ranges available
We currently have a very competitive offer on IP sales, with the following prices:
• €27/IP for ranges from /24 to /22
• €26/IP for ranges of /21 and larger
I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").
