“Afroman Wins Verdict Rejecting Lawsuit Filed by Ohio Cops Over Mocking Music Videos”

UPDATE: https://chaos.social/@sleepyowl/116257348164580770

Kind and cherished FOSS and computing freedom advocate @sleepyowl (Joyce Ng) has gone missing and there is reason to fear she may have been apprehended by authorities, possibly likely even for being framed. Nobody has been able to reach her and many of us are worried for her safety.

Joyce does work on verifiable open source hardware. She also has been an activist pushing against the rise of far-right Christian nationalism globally but especially in Singapore. Because of this and her identity, she has people who would like to see bad things happen to her.

Probably for this reason, she may have been misidentified by Five Eyes as being a threat actor. Joyce wrote about this concern in November, posting a threatening screenshot where she was tipped off https://bitowl.online/about

Please spread this wide. Hopefully this is a false alarm but Joyce is a kind-hearted person who fights for human rights and computing freedom; many of us are worried for her safety.

So after 16 months of illness I'm back on my feet and applying to jobs, but I'm completely broke and the combination of car+power+storage for 6 people is due, with a lot of late fees added in.
I'm sorry to ask, but any amount would help. Thanks so much!

It's a slime girl except if she's made of citrus preserve. Then she's a marmalady

The Trump appointed judge (Mark Pittman) who declared a mistrial over jury selection since so many jurors are anti-ICE and convicted an "antifa group" of terrorism, wants to make it easy and common to arrest/convict anyone of any anti-fascist sentiment.

Last push-- gotta move the last of my things next week, get settled, cross the fingers. I'll need to rent a van next weekend to move the big stuff.

GOAL 320/500

(I've combined this with my previous goal of being overdrafted.)

I'm pleased to share with you the greatest advancement in bottom-sheet technology since the invention of elastic.

So, I recently saw some quiet discussion about a paper where researchers reverse-engineered and disclosed some attacks against PhotoDNA, the very-super-duper-secret algorithm used by tech megacorps to scan for illegal images.

They didn't make any code public, and so... I did: https://github.com/ArcaneNibble/open-alleged-photodna

A _complete_ reverse-engineering and commented Python reimplementation of the algorithm from publicly-leaked binaries.

This means that studying the algorithm and any potential flaws is now much more accessible.

This took only about two days (once I knew that there even _was_ a leaked binary to compare against), which just goes to again show that security through obscurity never works.

CSMWrap: make UEFI-only systems boot BIOS-based operating systems

What if you have a very modern machine that is entirely UEFI-only, meaning it has no compatibility support module and thus no way of enabling a legacy BIOS mode? Well, install a CSM as an EFI application, of course!

CSMWrap is an EFI application designed to be a drop-in solution to enable legacy BIOS b
