Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw
The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

@germnetwork.com nice work on the Bsky integration! One suggestion: perhaps instead of the required bio link you could add the key in a record or offer a dns option? I understand the bio link is easy, and nice marketing, but it needs a lot characters in a bio that’s already quite limited..

Nearing 300 stars for Beans. Probably one of the most fun Open Source things I've ever released. Lots of really helpful contributions. Feedback often "cool, this is just like beads, but good". That is what I was aiming for, so reading that makes me very happy!

"Het is waanzin om onze maatschappij en overheid over te zetten op Amerikaanse clouds", schrijft veiligheidsexpert @berthub.eu. En toch is dat exact wat nu nog stééds gebeurd, in Nederland👇 Goed stuk over hoe we tav de VS proberen te "onderhandelen met de werkelijkheid" - en eigenlijk gewoon slapen:
Ik kan gewoon niet meer - net gehoord dat een van de grootste verwerkers van privégegevens binnen de overheid druk bezig is met zijn totale migratie naar Microsoft Azure. En de mensen die het tegen zouden kunnen houden worden buitengesloten & hebben het opgegeven. Stukje: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

unicode braille characters are 2x4 rectangles of dots where you can arbitrarily set any of the dots. That's 8x the pixels you normally get in the terminal!

After switching to a small model down from sonnet for my homegrown agent I’m suddenly running into a whole bunch of bugs and issues in my setup. Turns out sonnet and opus were just silently working around all the issues. Good to battle test your harness with a tiny model first I guess?

If you're in the market for self hosting a Matrix server Tuwunel is pretty cool. Fully built in Rust and extremely efficient. I have it running right now on a VPS and it's consuming close to zero resources and only 40MB of memory! matrix-construct.github.io/tuwunel/intr...

Is magistral the best option? No probably not. But between China likely scanning all agent messages and the US declaring war on Europe I’m quickly running out of alternatives 😅
Should be fun to see how useful I can make it by simply giving it lots of memory upgrades, skills and some smart tooling. So far so good, seems like a competent little model I could even self host if I wanted to.

Since my personal agent experiment (Roci) was costing way too much with Opus & Sonnet I've changed the goal for it to be a competent productivity assistant for a reasonable price. Magistral small seemed like a nice little model to test run for this for a bit. Ten times less costly than Sonnet even.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
