Russische Drohnen dringen in Luftraum der NATO ein

Russische Drohnen sind in der Nacht in den Luftraum von Rumänien eingedrungen. Das löste einen Alarmstart von rumänischen und deutschen Kampfjets aus. Eine Drohne stürzte in Rumänien ab. Die NATO geht nicht von einem vorsätzlichen Angriff aus.

Gütersloher Freifunk-Treffen 2023.12 https://freifunk-kreisgt.de/event/guetersloher-freifunk-treffen-2023-12/

A match made in hell.

(For my international followers: Axel Springer is Germany's Fox News.)

The Polish hackers who heroically fixed a series of NEWAG passenger trains that the manufacturer had artificially bricked with DRM are now being threatened with lawsuits from NEWAG. NEWAG has also filed a complaint with Polish authorities and has demanded the trains be removed from service.

Hackers fixed the trains *with permission from the trains' owner*

Repair expert told us this is "classic OEM bullshit," just on a train this time

Plötzliches Geständnis: Kärntner Krypto-Token war von Anfang an Betrug

@tagesschau damit kennt der Flugzwerg sich ja aus.

With #Threads becoming a hot topic once again, it's time for a reminder:

Admins are people too. When the announcement first happened, many admins got harassed, and threatened, if they federated with Threads (or even just thought about it). Many admins gave up and left.

Be kind.
