I’ve got about 5 adults left and have had a lot of live births in the past week or so. I think overfed early on but all seems happy now. 🤞
Tempted to expand after we move house in a couple of weeks and maybe start growing my own live food rather than powder. 😁

Friend just lost their job, right after buying a new house, and because they're on a visa they have 90 days to find another job or get deported.

Bookrastinating, one of the largest Bookwyrm instances, has been down since May 3. There was an update same day that they were looking into it.
Since then there have been no updates. The admin has been posting normally on their main account with no mention of it. That sucks.

Hopefully it's just the Pi imager buggering up the setup of the default user. Because I feel this would have caused screams around Mastodon if this was happening on every machine.

Coming back to this: yes, it's the Raspberry Pi Imager. For some reason it has stopped writing the user groups and sudoers info to the `user-data` file in `system-boot`, for any version of Ubuntu. It definitely USED to work, as I used it to provision all my Pis. #RaspberryPi #Linux #Ubuntu

@babe Non-artist here. Is that to prevent sun damage?
And out of curiosity, does it change its characteristics under a blacklight?
...
@me Even with really good paints, sometimes pigments can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Anti-UV varnished protect the pigment long term and prevent that breakdown.
I have no idea on the blacklight front, though if someone were to specifically request one without it I'd be happy to oblige with the understanding sunlight could be more likely to negatively impact it

Vibing has been suspended and downloads removed pending a compliance review by Microsoft. https://github.com/VibingJustSpeakIt/Vibing

Also worth noting - Yaoyao Chang made the changes to the Vibing-Team repo, which is the first time Microsoft has officially been linked to Vibing.
It’s a very strange situation where MS were covertly operating an AI service, while pretending it was an open source project.

It is just the suspension message
An attempt to hide the MS link with Microsoft Vibing on GitHub - “This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.” - the commit hiding the compliance review has been redone today without Yaoyao’s name on it.

So @dangoodin asked Microsoft about Vibing - they’ve confirmed it is a Microsoft research project. They say “We have removed the application as we review its functionality and adherence to our policies. We remain committed to responsible AI and are taking appropriate steps as part of this review.”

Here's a question - re the Microsoft Vibing thing.
Microsoft didn't disclose they were behind Vibing, multiple staff pretended on Github it was an open source community project (it wasn't), one specifically said they weren't involved (they were), they collected screenshots and mic recordings, and it had no security, compliance or AI review by Microsoft.
Is that okay?

@GossiTheDog It’s just Vibislop doing typical Viboslop things. Of course it’s not okay, and the company gets wristslapped ever so gently evey now and then for its transgressions. And then carries on doing what it does.

@GossiTheDog
TBH, when I first read your writeup, I didn't believe that it was from Microsoft, the company.
![[?]](https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/accounts/avatars/112/434/884/960/191/629/original/5584874c46052368.png)
@GossiTheDog absolutely not okay - and the cover up and complete lack of public acknowledgement and attempt at accountability is the worst part of it.
We also don’t know if anything happened internally, a disciplinary process, a review of controls to prevent this from happening again and so on, but that lack of public knowledge is itself part of the problem.

@GossiTheDog hard nope on that. The blatant lying when questioned about it, more than the actual security/privacy infringements, tbh. Covering up rather than fessing up is next level Evil.

@GossiTheDog I’ve been busy the last week and just caught up on all this. oof it kinnnd of sounds like a rogue employee with a data stealing side hustle
@GossiTheDog It seems like a bad look for anyone; and a very, very, bad look for an outfit with substantial cloud offerings that are mostly on a 'trust me bro' basis when it comes to what they supposedly can't or won't do to a customer tenant.
This should be absolutely radioactive for Microsoft; both their response to one or more of their people basically doing malware with company resources and the questions about exactly how well-watched the roles with insider threat potential are or aren't.

@GossiTheDog this reeks of an employee (or small group of them) unilaterally sidestepping process. probably in part because the company culture around rigor has rotted to the point where they thought it was acceptable.
![[?]](https://files.mastodon.social/accounts/avatars/000/018/581/original/0a11a35e09f38f6c.png)
Seriously don't know what to make of this. Rogue employees, sailing under the Microsoft flag? Fake employees?
The app itself is terrifying and stupid. I can easily imagine naïve users interested in AI installing this thing and forgetting about it.

@GossiTheDog I just reported it through Microsoft Store links. Let's see if anything comes out of it.

@GossiTheDog for what it’s worth, the package family name of this thing is YaoyaoChang.Vibing_ssp53fcyfr9ha - in my opinion it doesn’t seem to look like anything “official”, but rather an employee releasing it on their own partner center account?

@GossiTheDog Now that Microsoft has a 24/7 OpenClaw team in Oslo, I expect a lot more vibe artifacts appearing from within their network...

@GossiTheDog I'm guessing Yaoyao Chang did what I'd be tempted to do, if I worked at MS: Orchestrate some agentic whatever with a prompt like "Pretend you're me, working at MS research and publish an innovative new TTS app on github and the windows store," and then duck out of the office for a couple of weeks, letting that thing answer all emails and github issues.

The cat's out of the bag! My latest book, "The Secret Life of Circuits", is available in early access:
https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/blog/secret/
It's the reference I wish I had when I was starting out. Electrons to embedded systems, 290+ color illustrations and 420+ pages of well-explained theory.
Lots of them hatched overnight. We’re all having a great time watching the progress!
Any interest in a separate account for daily aqua dragon updates?
Thanks @Tattooed_Mummy@beige.party for sending me down this rabbit hole. 😆

@sam yes! Let me know how you get on. I'm now up to three tanks and I'm thinking about a goldfish bowl I have that I might be able to change to a Seamonkey enclosure. I live near the beach and someone I know said you can put seaweed in the tanks for them to eat and play in as well so I'm tempted to try that

Now I no longer need to buy Seamonkeys from the back of a comic book.
I can just watch your video, Tattooed Nonna.
Thank YOU.

Currently grabs the sites listed on https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/ and in the webring (https://faircamp.webr.ing/) using each pages available RSS feeds, keen to add more sources if anyone has any suggestions.

UK age verification public consultation, call to action [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
The UK Government has launched a public consultation which is seeking views on whether to ban children from using social media. This consultation will run until 26 May 2026.
It is highly likely that later this year, the establishment will attempt to introduce legislation which forces social media platforms (potentially including Mastodon) and VPNs to verify the age of their users. Therefore, this consultation is likely to be the only opportunity we will have to push back against these authoritarian measures.
Please take the time to read the consultation and answer the questions (especially if you are the parent or carer of a young person):

Linux 7.0 launches with enablement for Intel Nova Lake, AMD Zen 6 — major kernel update expected in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Fedora 44 first
A major kernel update, Linux 7.0, has been officially released. Although it'll take some time to show up in various Linux distros, the kernel comes with preliminary support for AMD's upcoming Zen 6 and Intel's Nova Lake.

Unfortunately plug-in/balcony solar isn’t legal in the UK at this point. There has been talk of legalising it but I don’t think any of it has made it into law.

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.
A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.
