Anyone using a FOSS-friendly robot vacuum?
I'm considering buying a robot vacuum cleaner, but I'm not a fan of the idea that it would scan my apartment and send data to the cloud.
I came across the Valetudo project, and it looks promising. It doesn’t replace the firmware - just replaces the cloud connection with local automation systems instead. Has anyone here used it? Or are you using something else for local control? I'd love to hear your experience 🙂

Leonard Cohen – Old Ideas (2012)
Piove fuori. C’è un uomo solo a cui non importa, non se ne accorge neanche, cammina a passo lento… non ha più niente da perdere (Going Home). E’ fradicio, entra in un nightclub, ordina da bere. Muove una sedia nella direzione del palco, odore di vecchio, intorno nuvole di fumo. Una cantante gli passa accanto microfono in mano (Amen). Si mormora, riconosce i suoni ma è come assorto. Alza lo sguardo, è rimasto solo. Paga da bere, chiude la porta alle sue spalle. Piove ancora (Show Me the Place). Costeggia un lungomare infinito, sotto i portici un uomo suona uno strumento, si accorge di non esser solo in questa notte senza fine. Entra in una Chiesa, chiede perdono a Dio (Anyhow). Non è mai stato così solo... impattosonoro.it/2012/02/13/re…

A tricky question should be how can we consider the differences between playing a blues form, by using the scale resulting from black notes, centering it in Eb, Db, or Ab tones.

Lava Meets Leidenfrost
Drop water on a surface much hotter than its boiling point, and the liquid will bead up and skitter over the surface, levitated on a cushion of its own vapor. In addition to making the drop hypermobile, this vapor layer insulates it from the heat of the surface, allowing it to survive longer than it would at lower temperatures. Known as the Leidenfrost effect, this phenomenon can show up in lava flows, as well.
Pillow lava is a smooth, bulbous rock formed when lava breaks out underwater. The exiting lava is incandescent and, therefore, incredibly hot — hot enough to vaporize a layer of water surrounding it. The lava can continue to expand until it cools too much to sustain the vapor layer. An elastic skin builds up over the cooling lava. Eventually, a new pillow will bud off, possibly due to a surge in the lava flow or a weak point in the developing skin. (Image credit: J. de Gier; research credit: A. Mills; via LeidenForce)

WhoFi: Unique 'fingerprint' based on Wi-Fi interactions
Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals
: Wi-Fi spy with my little eye that same guy I saw at another hotspotThomas Claburn (The Register)
like this
Excerpt from the article:
The researchers... call their approach “WhoFi”, as described in a preprint paper titled, "WhoFi: Deep Person Re-Identification via Wi-Fi Channel Signal Encoding."Who are you, really?
Re-identification, the researchers explain, is a common challenge in video surveillance. It's not always clear when a subject captured on video is the same person recorded at another time and/or place.
Re-identification doesn't necessarily reveal a person's identity. Instead, it is just an assertion that the same surveilled subject appears in different settings. In video surveillance, this might be done by matching the subject's clothes or other distinct features in different recordings. But that's not always possible.
The author asserts that re-identification doesn't necessarily reveal a person's identity, although I suppose this is similar to how a single fingerprint or DNA sample doesn't necessarily reveal a person's identity, right up until somebody can connect your fingerprint to your identity, say, by correlating your location with other tracking methods or something.

A leading global authority on famine on Monday accused Israel of orchestrating a carefully planned campaign of mass starvation in the Gaza Strip, remarks that came amid a steadily rising death toll from malnutrition caused by the 654-day U.S.-backed Israeli siege and obliteration of the Palestinian enclave."I've been working on this topic for more than four decades, and there is no case since World War II of starvation that is being so minutely designed and controlled," Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, told Al Jazeera.

It's a XXI century Holocaust.
This was expectable ever since Israeli leader started openly making statements about Palestinians when were extreme similar to what the Nazis said about the Jews and the Roma, for example calling them "human animals" and "vermin" and talking about having a "Final plan" for Gaza.
The Zionists are the present day version of the Nazis, and they're well on track to doing the same thing, this time around with the help of pro-Nazi governments in the West, especially the US, UK and Germany.

Israel’s military campaign in Deir al-Balah on Sunday marked the first time since the beginning of the war 21 months ago that Israeli troops launched a major offensive on the city, located in central #Gaza. Unlike every other major city or town in Gaza—including Gaza City, Khan Younis, Jabaliya, Rafah, Beit Lahia, and others—Deir al-Balah is the only city in Gaza that had not yet been subject to a major Israeli ground operation or suffered widespread devastation.

Google, Microsoft say Chinese hackers are exploiting SharePoint zero-day
Security researchers at Google and Microsoft say they have evidence that hackers backed by China are exploiting a zero-day bug in Microsoft SharePoint, as companies around the world scramble to patch the flaw.
The bug, known officially as CVE-2025-53770 and discovered last weekend, allows hackers to steal sensitive private keys from self-hosted versions of SharePoint, a software server widely used by companies and organizations to store and share internal documents. Once exploited, an attacker can use the bug to remotely plant malware and gain access to the files and data stored within, as well as gain access to other systems on the same network.

- Your e-mail
- Your government ID
- Your consumer report history

- Your sexual preferences
- How often you're having sex
- Your partner's details (all the above)
- Your political ideology
- Your involvement with any group
- If you protest, we know
- If you're unhappy, we know
The amount of information we collect on you is insane. And we do it all for supposedly marketing and yes, we help the government since they have access to all this too.
So when someone says they want to avoid META or GOOGLE - respect.

in reply to originalucifer • • •I love thinking, I just don't think the conceit if this article is worth following.
If I think trump and vance are liars who just stick/carrot big tech as desired when it benefits them how does this article change anything? I appreciate that the writer tries to address this but they just... failed to change my mind. They gave nothing of substance that would recontextualize what I've seen or refute it.
It's a little rude to claim what the writer themselves call "fair criticism" as unthinking. Can you really not see how people would keep the opinion on top of the nagging feeling that this is likely just another tech company sucking orange dick then trying to weasel out of consequences?
Fire is good in a fireplace, and bad on your body. I can recognize a gun as a tool and also freak out when it's pointed at my face. AI is a tool being used real fucking poorly from a societal standpoint so it gets no slack from me, and we need better than liars to set it straight if it doesn't hollow our economies out first. I'm not trying to convince you but hopefully this at least outlined a coherent train of thought and you can understand it now.

If he really sees it in that way, he could just state it, yet he picks support as those who do what is convenient.
A lot of liberals follow trump, and not necessarily agree in everything with him. Just like a lot of people in germany supports Afd as they think it will improve the economy.
