@PwnieFan@infosec.exchangeSometimes I get frustrated with the conversations around communism/socialism/capitalism. Did communism in the USSR work? No, because it concentrated all the resources with a privileged group that became corrupt. Did socialism work as practiced in many countries? Not if it concentrated all the resources with a privileged group.
Does capitalism work? Sometimes. If it's counterbalanced with regulation and social safety nets. Otherwise, capitalism runs into the same problems as socialism/communism. Market forces concentrate wealth with a privileged class that becomes corrupted. Because power corrupts. Even if that power belongs to a privileged group rather than one despotic ruler.

@hex@kolektiva.socialRE: https://kolektiva.social/@scrappy_capy_distro/117455129022316245
I think there are some pieces missing here. Hosting does scale down poorly, but it only scales poorly because of how we host. There *is* an increased cost and complexity to shutting down small sites. If we can change the way we host, make it easier to replicate, then there *is* an asymmetry. It was technically as simple as pushing buttons to shut down A/I, but it was not politically as simple. Forcing them to build a case to shut down every little site *is* a different order of complexity. It's easy to confuse the technical and the political. We should not be so naive.
We need to focus on making hosting easier, on simplifying the complexities, on building open federations (like Co-op Cloud) focused on sharing resources to make distributed systems more viable.
More importantly, self-hosting vs collective hosting doesn't change the impact equation. If repression can cleanly target it's victims, then repression wins. Resistence that works is resistence that forces the oppressor to attack people who aren't otherwise aligned. This radicalizes unaligned people into the resistence. Every victory by the agressor must be made pyrrhic.
This is done by mixing hosting. Stop hosting anarchist only sites. That makes an easy target. Host sites that help people. Provide free hosting for liberal orgs, for churches and temples, make the headline say, "church websites shut down in counterterrorism campaign." Start from the assumption that there will be a crackdown, write headline that would be the most damaging to the enemy, and work backwards.
It's time to learn some insurgency theory for fuck sake.
And about that cybernetic legibility thing. It's definitely one element to consider, but I don't think the zine really dug in as much as I'd like. Reducing legibility may mean dropping offline. The state has been tooling itself around controlling the Internet. Moving radical activity offline forces state forces to retool. That increases complexity.
But there are other methods of decreasing legibility. There are a lot of radical things that the system struggles to or cannot intepret as radical. This is why I advocate for centering disaster anarchism, community building (setting up tool libraries and community pantries). A small group of people can increase the complexity such that they absorb much of the capacity of the repressieve apparatus. But that doesn't really matter unless society is organized, invisibly, to leverage that opportunity.
Anarchism is not blowing up police stations. It is building systems of mutual coordination. That can be invisible, or illegible, to the system.
Cybernetics is all about control. The adversary of control is complexity. If you are resisting control, your goal is to make it as complex as possible to stop you. That doesn't mean "we should all take this new strategy" but, as hinted at but not made explicit in the zine, that we should *all agree on objectives but all apply multiple different strategies*.

arXiv:2608.13287v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A common way for attackers to compromise victim systems is hijacking sensitive operations (e.g., control-flow transfers) with attacker-controlled inputs. Existing solutions in general only protect parts of these targets and have high performance overheads, which are impractical and hard to deploy on systems with limited resources (e.g., IoT devices) or for low-level software like kernels and bare-metal firmware. In this paper, we present a lightweight hardware-software co-design solution ROLoad-PMP to protect sensitive operations from being hijacked for low-level software. First, we propose new instructions, which only load data from read-only memory regions with specific keys, to guarantee the integrity of pointees pointed by (potentially corrupted) data pointers. Then, we provide a program hardening mechanism to protect sensitive operations, by classifying and placing their operands into read-only memory with different keys at compile-time and loading them with ROLoad-PMP-family instructions at runtime. We have implemented an FPGA-based prototype of ROLoad-PMP based on RISC-V, and demonstrated an important defense application, i.e., forward-edge control-flow integrity. Results showed that ROLoad-PMP only costs few extra hardware resources (< 1.40%). Moreover, it enables many lightweight (e.g., with negligible overheads < 0.853%) defenses, and provides broader and stronger security guarantees than existing hardware solutions, e.g., ARM BTI and Intel CET.

Trump as usual pretended he had a solution.
Ever since American forces kidnapped Venezuela’s dictator Nicholas Maduro in January, Trump had been trying to arrange for US seizure of the country’s oil.
Last week the White House claimed Trump had succeeded and “secured the biggest oil deal in world hi…

@cdarwin@c.imMaterials in lithium-ion battery cathodes have continuously evolved since the 1990s,
but anodes have stubbornly remained graphite.
Now, finally, there’s some innovation on that side: silicon anodes,
which engineers have struggled to master for a decade,
are finally coming into wide commercialization.
They enable up to five times the energy density of graphite anodes,
charge many times faster,
and are poised to revolutionize the battery market

$5 because Gina has the momentum to take back Texas
— with your help.
If it makes sense for you today, donate $5 to Gina today:

@cdarwin@c.imFor generations, Saudi Arabia exported oil.
Now it wants to export one of the digital era’s most coveted resources:
computing power.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is seizing a chance to turn Saudi Arabia’s oil wealth into tech influence.
Few nations can match the kingdom’s cheap energy, deep pockets and open land
— the ingredients that tech firms need to operate the vast, power-hungry data centers that run modern A.I.
Already, Saudi Arabia has been neg…
