We imported the data from Black Basta Ransomware group leak into AIL and there are many interesting aspects.
The federation network of Matrix servers (see the screenshot) used to communicated among the affiliates/group(s).
Activities in the chat room, especially the daily activity view in AIL. Guessing the location and timezone of groups or affiliates is an endless source of information.
They rely on many open-source and SaaS tools, including Googl…

Quanta Magazine authors Janna Levin and Steven Strogatz strike up a conversation with Ellie Pavlick (Research Scientist at Google Deep Mind) about the differences and similarities between the way people understand language, what NLP algorithms do, and the fact that such conversations more often than not shed light into more than Linguistics' computational side.

#Tesla shares are kind of slowly recovering their past price.
I suspect it's not just people "buying the dip", but also "the market" reacting to boycotters being caught.
Please, be careful, be smart, don't get caught.

"On Sunday, July 20th, 1969, at precisely 20:14:19 UTC, just a mere three minutes before touchdown, the voice of Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. confirmed the “Go for landing” order received from Mission Control together with a phrase nobody wanted to hear at that moment: “Program alarm – 1201.”"

#Mexico forbids killing bulls and subjecting them to the most extreme forms of torture.
#Spain is, sadly, still far behind... but I suspect that Mexico's precedent will help, not just as a good example, but also because it will severely decrease the income of many of those bullfighters (toreros).
Toreros usually travel through many countries to participate in these bloody spectacles and make a living out of it. Removing Mexico from their list will be a big thing, so it is likely that many of them will have to do something else with their lives.

Happy 
, today I deployed a #Forgejo instance to manage my private code projects. I won't be using #Github anymore for my stuff, only to contribute to 3rd party projects.
I still have some pending work to configure the CI workers, but I'll leave that for next week.
Along the way I've learnt some stuff about #OpenTofu and networking. Enough to know that I still prefer to be on the dev side of the "devops" 
.
