Das Bild zeigt eine große, dunkelbraune Holztür mit einem massiven, roten Backsteinbogen darüber. Die Tür ist mit vertikalen Brettern und quadratischen Metallnieten versehen und hat zwei kreisförmige Türklopfer. Auf dem Bogen ist das Jahr "1996" eingraviert. Die Tür ist halb geöffnet und lässt einen Blick auf ein gepflegtes Grün hinter ihr fallen. Links neben der Tür steht ein Informationstafel auf einem Holzsockel. Der Boden besteht aus gepflasterten Steinen. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume und ein Gebäude zu sehen, das durch die Tür sichtbar ist. Die Szene ist an einem sonnigen Tag aufgenommen, was durch die helle Beleuchtung und die leichten Schatten deutlich wird.

The Texas Flash Flood Is a Preview of the Chaos to Come

Climate change is making disasters more common, more deadly and far more costly, even as the federal government is running away from the policies that might begin to protect the nation.

Most of all, the fossil fuel industry is paying Republican officials handsomely to deny the role the industry plays in causing climate disasters.
These flooding deaths aren't "natural".

The Israeli army demolished seven Palestinian houses in the West Bank on Wednesday, in the latest wave of home demolitions in the occupied territory.
Israeli forces raided the town of Shuqb, west of Ramallah, and razed six homes, a shed, and retaining walls, citing the lack of a building permit, village chief Adnan Shalash told Anadolu.
He said the demolished structures included a three-story house that had stood for 15 years.

Important work happening around HTTP Signatures in the Fediverse. Stronger key validation, better digest handling, clearer test vectors—all steps toward more secure and trustworthy ActivityPub communication.
HTTP Signature Upgrades Coming Soon
activitypub.blog/2025/07/03/ht…
#Fediverse #CyberSecurity #ActivityPub #DigitalIdentity #HTTPsignatures #Decentralisation #WebSecurity
HTTP Signature Upgrades Coming Soon
Ever wonder how your site proves it’s really you talking to the rest of the Fediverse? It’s not magic—it’s HTTP signatures, the digital equivalent of a secret handshake. With our next release, we’re making that handshake a lot more universal (and a little less awkward).Why HTTP Signatures Matter
When you interact with the Fediverse, you want to know that the messages you send and receive are genuine. HTTP signatures are the technology that makes this possible. Every time your site sends a message, it includes a digital signature—like sealing an envelope with your personal stamp. This signature proves that your content really came from your account and that no one has tampered with it along the way. As a result, you can trust that your interactions across the network are authentic.A Bit of Background: draft-cavage and RFC 9421
If you’ve heard about HTTP signatures, you might have come across terms like “draft-cavage” and “RFC 9421.” These are just different versions of the rules for how those digital signatures are created and checked.For a long time, most of the Fediverse has used what’s called the draft-cavage-12 specification. Think of this as a set of instructions that people agreed to try out, but that hadn’t been officially finalized. It worked well enough to let sites talk to each other securely, but because it was just a draft, there were sometimes small differences in how different software used it.
Recently, the community agreed on a final, official version of these rules, called RFC 9421. This is now the standard way to create and verify HTTP signatures. This makes it easier for sites and servers to understand each other and work together, since everyone is following the same process.
Incoming Support for the New Standard, Out of the Box
With this update, the plugin will support incoming HTTP signatures that use the new standard right away. There’s nothing extra you need to do. This means that when other servers use the new, official approach for signatures, your site will recognize and accept them. By making support for the new standard easy and automatic, the plugin helps move the Fediverse forward, encouraging more sites to adopt this approach and making connections across the network more reliable.Outgoing Requests and the Double Knock Approach
There’s a new setting for outgoing requests, but for most people, there’s no need to touch it. This option is really for the folks who like to be on the cutting edge and want to start using the new standard for outgoing messages right away. If that sounds like you, here’s how to find it: head to the ActivityPub settings in your dashboard, open “Screen Options” at the top right, and enable “Advanced Settings.” Then, click on the Advanced Settings tab and turn on “Use modern signature format for Fediverse communications.”
But don’t feel any pressure—leaving this setting off is perfectly fine. The plugin already handles incoming messages with the new standard out of the box, and we’ll automatically enable outgoing support for everyone once the wider Fediverse is ready. For now, this is just an option for early adopters.If you do turn it on, the plugin uses what we call the “double knock” approach. It’ll try the new standard first, and if the other server isn’t ready for it, it’ll automatically fall back to the older method. So, you can experiment without worrying about breaking communication with anyone.
Improved Verification for Existing Signatures
The plugin also brings improvements to how it handles signatures that use the older method, especially those using thehs2019algorithm. Now, when a signed message arrives, the plugin fetches the sender’s public key and uses it to determine the correct way to verify the signature, following the specification more closely. This means more reliable verification and fewer errors, making your experience smoother and more predictable.Looking Forward
With this update, the plugin helps move the Fediverse toward a shared standard for signing and verifying messages. By supporting both the new standard and the older method, you’re making it easier for everyone to communicate using the same agreed-upon approach. There’s no change in security, but you’re part of making the network more consistent and helping the community take the next step forward.We hope this explanation helps clarify these technical changes. If you have any questions about HTTP signatures or how our plugin interacts with the Fediverse, please don’t hesitate to reach out in the comments below.
Signing HTTP Messages
When communicating over the Internet using the HTTP protocol, it can be desirable for a server or client to authenticate the sender of a particular message. It can also be desirable to ensure that the message was not tampered with during transit.IETF Datatracker

“While these emerging reports are anecdotal and uncontrolled, they collectively support a longstanding, mechanistically plausible hypothesis: that prolonged exposure to pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 spike protein or other forms of persistent virus or viral material may drive disease in some patients, and that reducing this burden through monoclonal antibody therapy may offer a promising therapeutic approach worthy of rigorous clinical investigation.” ⬇️
