I know that following a hashtag is part of the Mastodon protocol itself, but since I'm in @… the majority of the time - it feels like it would be cool to:
- Offer a "follow for a week" / month option
- "We'll ask you when time's up"
mechanism (maybe the ask part is configurable? maybe the client could also just handle it when next it runs?)
I hit this time and time again for moment in time events where during the thick of it, I'm invested and interested - conferences, world news, etc - but after which there's no more signal in the hashtag and it's just detritus putting load on a server somewhere.
Ideally this is something that should be in the protocol itself, but it feels like similar to quote replies that @… could bring a better user experience in advance of adoption of something like that

Operational tracking loss in nonautonomous second-order oscillator networks
Veronica Sanz
https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.19420 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.19420 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.19420
arXiv:2603.19420v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study when a network of coupled oscillators with inertia ceases to follow a time-dependent driving protocol coherently, using a simplified graph-based model motivated by inverter-dominated energy systems. We show that this loss of tracking is diagnosed most clearly in the frequency dynamics, rather than in phase-based observables. Concretely, a tracking ratio built from the frequency-disagreement observable $E_\omega(t)$ and normalized by the instantaneous second-order modal decay rate yields a robust protocol-dependent freeze-out time whose relative dispersion decreases with system size. Graph topology matters substantially: the resulting freeze-out time is only partly captured by the algebraic connectivity $\lambda_2$, while additional structural descriptors, particularly Fiedler-mode localization and low-spectrum structure, improve the explanation of graph-to-graph variation. By contrast, phase-sector observables develop strong non-monotonic and underdamped structure, so simple diagonal low-mode relaxation closures are not quantitatively reliable in the same regime. These results identify the frequency sector as the natural operational sector for nonautonomous tracking loss in second-order oscillator networks and clarify both the usefulness and the limits of reduced spectral descriptions in this setting.

Signal Privacy – Better Than You Thought
If you’ve ever tried to write a secure and private distributed communications protocol, you know how hard it is to get it right. (If you have, you are seriously nerdy!) It is really easy to make mistakes, even for professional security developers. So, when Guy Kawasaki mentioned the Signal “Double Ratchet” protocol I was intrigued. I thought I knew a lot about security protocols but this one caught me flat-footed. Down the rabbit hole I went.

Abstract: RADAR Challenge 2026 is an APSIPA Grand Challenge on Robust Audio Deepfake Recognition under Media Transformations, designed to simulate realistic media conditions in real-world audio distribution pipelines, including compression, resampling, noise, and reverberation. It consists of two phases: an English development phase with labeled data for analysis and paper writing, and a multilingual evaluation phase containing more than 100,000 utterances in English, Singapore English, Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese Mandarin, Japanese, and Vietnamese. Systems are evaluated using equal error rate (EER) for binary real/fake classification. This paper describes the challenge task, the construction of the data set, the evaluation protocol, and the overall results. During the challenge, 33 teams submitted to the development phase and 22 teams submitted to the final evaluation phase. The reported results highlight the remaining challenges of robust audio deepfake detection under multilingual and media-transformed conditions.

#DearLazyWeb ( #Nederland #HamRadio edition): I have small kids. My oldest is just turning 7. I have an idea of starting to introduce radios to them and some other parents are also interested.
I'm starting with walkie talkies and basic radio protocol. My thought is to try to play a few games of "keep talking and no one explodes" over walkie talkie, then trying to expand that out into an informal radio net or something. I have some other ideas for projects, like downloading weather satellite data or something (but I think this may be a bit too advanced, perhaps).
I've also been thinking about playing a bit with LoRa radios (meshcore or reticulum), but I haven't yet figured out an application that would be fun for kids.
One parent suggested a kids radio broadcast. In the US it's possible to get a local FM license (within about 2 kilometers) for community stations and educational use and such. Is there any similar program here in NL?
Extra question for #Ham operators: are there other simple kid friendly projects you can think of?
For parents (to gauge interest outside of my weird little circle): one goal here is getting kids into radio to build the next generation of disaster communication. Is this something you would be excited about for your kids? Is this something you would be interested in seeing as an after school program?
Ok fedi, you're full of game devs and weird microarchitecture experts and generally the right kind of people to ask...
I'm thinking about a generic data representation for multi-bit vectors in ngscopeclient.

Notably missing is multi-bit digital vectors. There is some legacy code i…
