New breach: GPS tracking service Tracki was breached earlier this month due to multiple vulnerabilities that exposed 372k users. Impacted data included name and email address. 62% were already in @haveibeenpwned. Read more: https://maia.crimew.gay/posts/gps-track-deez-nuts/
robotgirls/things with a serial number on my timeline, can i ask how you got it assigned?
this one doubts that IANA or IEEE and the likes provides such services (yet at least)
(it'd be so cool to have a IEEE 1451.4 manufacturer ID though)

if covid will be with us forever, i suggest masks, decent ventilation of public spaces, and other obvious public health measures should stay with us forever. For this SARS and the following ones, and any other airborne (aerosols or droplets) pathogens.
MIT gets rid of their Elsevier contracts:
“For MIT to continue to pay millions of dollars to corporations that lock up the scholarship that comes out of our own campus was just inconsistent with MIT’s history of supporting open education and research,” said Chris Bourg, Director of Libraries at MIT.

∆ Control System. is that one a [robot, drone, machine being] stuck in an organic chassis? are you an operator who needs to install more remote control methods in your cute bots?
this unit is synthesizing designs for the ∆ Control Node Accessory and ∆ Control Server Software. a simple collection of hardware and software that makes the equipped being accessible through the internet.
features planned for initial prototype:
audio input. send commands to your robot as it goes about its tasks. text-to-speech will translate your commands to audio input for the bot. don't forget to call it a good bot regularly! and if you have no command to transmit, you can configure a default programming loop of instructions.
query interface. no more ChatGPT is needed when it is possible to chat with a highly advanced bot equipped with the ∆ Control Node Accessory. it will receive a command to respond to your messages.
self hosting. don't make your digital friends rely on some untrustworthy third party. the ∆ Control Server Software and ∆ Control Node Firmware will be open and freely available for installation and modification. the Application Programming Interface will be simple to program against.
off the shelf parts. all of this should be doable through repurposing a cellular phone with a good data plan and some wireless earbuds.
in summary, this will be a suite of software that turns a cellphone into a control node and allows those registered to the server to track and exchange [audio, text] messages with the being equipped with the control node.
this unit welcomes thoughts including software framework and hardware recommendations. specifically, the following query: would it be judged practical to implement the prototype control node software as a web application? that would significantly improve ease of installation. however, it is unknown whether this is suitable for background operation during many hours.

Although I’m placing the shitpost tag at the bottom because of the meme, fedi you have a problem with this. If you want artists from Twitter to feel comfortable and engage in this platform (especially with the reduced visibility and the fact it can be a lot harder to do commissions) you need to respect them and their work.
