Framasoft are one of the sadly very few non-bullshit orgs (they’re like us, Small Technology Foundation, not Mozilla) working for a better future for technology and society.
They’re raising funds at the moment.
Please support them if you can.
Thank you!

Several of my #PurdueFortWayne #Math colleagues retired shortly after the 2020 pandemic outset, and some since then, and we finally had a retirement dinner celebration for all of them. (particularly famous among them, graph theorist L. Beineke :k33: :k5: )
Lots of photos:

While testing some new misp-modules, such as the OpenAPI interface, I discovered a strange behavior in Firefox when trying to reach TCP port 6666, which is the default port used by misp-modules.
It seems Firefox blocks access to a predefined list of TCP ports, and this has been in place for quite some time, as you can see in the commit log.
If you want to override the blocked port list, there is an obscure setting called network.security.ports.banned.override.

Jackery is making solar power actually beautiful. At CES, they unveiled solar roof tiles, a home battery system, and even a Solar Gazebo with 2 kW of panels that generates 10 kWh daily.
The gazebo runs $12-15K and pairs with battery storage for backup power. It's not utility-scale, but it's the kind of creative design that could make clean energy irresistible to everyday consumers.

Imagine ChatGPT but instead of predicting text it just linked you to the to 3 documents most-influential on the probabilities that would have been used to predict that text.
Could even generate some info about which parts of each would have been combined how.
There would still be issues with how training data is sourced and filtered, but these could be solved by crawling normally respecting robots.txt and by paying filterers a fair wage with a more relaxed work schedule and mental health support.
The energy issues are mainly about wild future investment and wasteful query spam, not optimized present-day per-query usage.
Is this "just search?"
Yes, but it would have some advantages for a lot of use cases, mainly in synthesizing results across multiple documents and in leveraging a language model more fully to find relevant stuff.
When we talk about the harms of current corporate LLMs, the opportunity cost of NOT building things like this is part of that.
The equivalent for art would have been so amazing too! "Here are some artists that can do what you want, with examples pulled from their portfolios."
It would be a really cool coding assistant that I'd actually encourage my students to use (with some guidelines).

Homöopathiespam? Wobei… Wasserstoff in Wasser ist immerhin messbar.
"The email claims that regular water can steal energy from your cells and proposes their product as a solution, which is a portable device that infuses water with molecular hydrogen."
