Groups are healthiest when its members are motivated by common pragmatic goal(s) as opposed to codependence. Pragmatic motivations can range from learning from and supporting one another (e.g. intimate interpersonal relationships) to accomplishing political goals, etc. Codependent motivations manifest as groupthink regardless of group size, but it's easier to lie to oneself and others in larger groups. Group motivations should be actively monitored and tempered. Please shoot holes in this thesis

Oh wow, I checked my and one of my modules apparently got some attention. That has never happenned before!

Interesting genuine abstract and links to the paper.
With this little note sleeping at the last:
... """ very efficient full key recovery for RSA-1024. We also provide strong evidence
that the same attack works for RSA-2048 with only moderately more computation."""

Thought attribute=notmuch:
So this is arguably an Von Neumann (bottle neck) "thing" AND an x86 feature.
Though that's like saying water is wet .
Lot more fun here:

Finding a Linux laptop used to be a chore, but that’s not the case anymore. Companies like Dell, HP, Entroware, Tuxedo, ThinkPenguin, ZaReason, Slimbook and many others offer us up an array of laptops and PCs that are pre-loaded with Linux. Now, Vant: ow.ly/L4ID30dkyz6

"""a complete break of RSA-1024 as implemented in Libgcrypt.""

Cuss those Boffins :)
Excellent work though.
Cough. Do note the VM paragraph and the L3 caveat.
Predators have traditionally gathered near water holes , and other choke points.

When the AI uprising happens, all of y'all that are rude to Alexa/Cortana/Siri etc. are going to get it.

They listen. They smile. They don't forget.

Excellent resource for finding friendly hardware for GNU+Linux systems: h-node.org/

The h-node project aims at the construction of a hardware database in order to identify what devices work with a fully free operating system.

Finally got a fast and reliable VPN up and running thanks to AirVPN! linuxrocks.online/media/QsNnAn

GNU/Linux project, using Devuan as a base.
This is a minimal setup, a base to build on with the programs/packages of your choice.
There is an Openbox and a Mate version.
All images are hybrid-isos (live-CD/USB), so you can test-drive prior to installing.
NB. This project has been localized for English and UTF-8.

... all the infrastructure and utilities needed for a base system.
...cushy for Openbox, makes it easy for even a new linux user.

Just when I thought Fastmail couldn't get any better, they implement a dark mode for their webmail:

For example, ntp.conf now uses the word "pool" instead of "server".

One thing before I go:

When you begin to encourage shutting down language that didn't have a charged meaning before (or hadn't for a long time)

You make people feel less safe. People who would otherwise be allies.

You haven't empowered anyone. The people who are actually the enemy don't care about your recommendations. No one has been helped.

Instead, you've created a culture of fear.
