🚨NEW VIDEO: How to view someones IP address and connection speed!

Iran is now in its 32nd straight day of Internet blackout. #DigitalBlackOutIran‌ #IranWar‌ The country has spent over half of 2026 under a government-imposed communications shutdown.

On rempli petit à petit nos ports 100G @Dyjix 😊

Er... it was the norm for me since 2008...

12.8 Tbps (32 x 400 Gbps) intra-DC backbone capacity now in Singapore alone. We upgraded our backbone capacity between Equinix SG1 & 3 (peering site) and a local Edge DC (Servers). Each blue link is one 400G link. What an inspirational world we live in!

@HPE_Networking love the new colours

AI is everywhere, and threats are growing at a rapid pace alongside it. At RSAC, HPE unveiled new additions to the HPE Juniper Networking hybrid mesh firewall solution that make supporting AI governance quicker and simpler. 👀

No disrespect to Linus Torvalds, But Ken Thompson might be the biggest geek who ever lived. 🫡 And almost nobody knows his name. At 28, he created Unix. > The OS that inspired every modern operating system on the planet. At 66, the age when most engineers retire, he co-created Go. > A language millions of developers love, and used to build most of modern Devops tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana, etc. But that is still not the full story. - Dennis Ritchie built on Thompson’s B to create C. - Linus built Linux inspired by Thompson’s Unix. - He co-invented UTF-8, the encoding behind every website you visit. - He built grep, a tool developers still use daily in 2024. The internet you are scrolling right now exists because of him. And he did everything without Claude, cursor, ChatGPT. Ken Thompson. Remember the name.

🚨NEWS: UK iPhone users must now prove their age or lose full internet access "It is absolutely outrageous that, overnight, Apple has put a chokehold on Britons' freedom to search the internet, access information and use apps unless they provide sensitive ID documents. This means 35 million Brits who have paid hundreds or even thousands of pounds for Apple tech suddenly now have a child's device unless they comply with invasive demands for personal information that go far beyond what UK law requires. Apple has crossed the Rubicon with this software update which is more like ransomware, holding customers hostage to ID demands that are invasive, exclusionary and unnecessary. Children's online safety is vital but requires better parental controls and thoughtful tech responsibility - not sweeping, draconian, shock demands by foreign companies for all of our IDs and credit cards." - Silkie Carlo [@silkiecarlo]

f*ck this age verification shit. #orwellian #dystopia

After being super impressed with the T14 Gen 1 Ryzen 7 , I just ordered another T14 - the Gen 3 Ryzen 7. I now have 3 Thinkpads in total and it feels I am collecting them like Pokémon’s 😎

congrats @NoraEnPure on episode 500 of Purified youtube.com/watch?v=OQaEwY…

@eliana_jordan 15 inch air is the sweet spot

I think I’m going for 16”, im getting old😅

@heynavtoor so this is Kiwix on steroids it seems

🚨Someone just open sourced a computer that works when the entire internet goes down. It's called Project N.O.M.A.D. A self-contained offline survival server with AI, Wikipedia, maps, medical references, and full education courses. No internet. No cloud. No subscription. It just works. Here's what's packed inside: → A local AI assistant powered by Ollama (works fully offline) → All of Wikipedia, downloadable and searchable → Offline maps of any region you choose → Medical references and survival guides → Full Khan Academy courses with progress tracking → Encryption and data analysis tools via CyberChef → Document upload with semantic search (local RAG) Here's the wildest part: A solar panel, a battery, a mini PC, and a WiFi access point. That's it. That's your entire off-grid knowledge station. 15 to 65 watts of power. Works from a cabin, an RV, a sailboat, or a bunker. Companies sell "prepper drives" with static PDFs for $185. This gives you a full AI brain, an entire encyclopedia, and real courses for free. One command to install. 100% Open Source. Apache 2.0 License.

@CrispinCowan0 @blackroomsec With this crazy market the nvme and the ram alone will cost brand new as much as the whole machine. Good deal

@blackroomsec My wife wanted a home lab so she could learn Linux. Bought her a mini-PC, astoundingly cheap! amazon.com/dp/B09RF4S9ZZ?…

I think I'm going to buy a Mac mini. You nerds might've convinced me. 🙄
