Resetting the #sustainability compass!
Proudly co-authored a study at University of Halle Wittenberg on how #OpenStandards and #OpenSource are critical elements for sovereign and sustainable digital infrastructures.
#Highlights is the critical analysis of current open source policies in the public sector:
1. “Nationalistic” or "patriotic" approaches towards open source fail at fundamental level.
2. Persistent dependency on proprietary
technologies of critical public infrastructure.
3. Lack of enforceable commitment in sustainable funding for open source.

**„Miss picsa fejem van” – a Hunyadi sztárja, Hermányi Mariann meglepő kijelentése"**
A kifejezés, amire anyuka gondolhatott, a "mísz".
arcanum.com/hu/online-kiadvany…
The image is a screenshot of a webpage from the Hungarian news website "ripost.hu." The page features a red and white color scheme with a prominent headline in bold black text: "„MISS PICSÁ A FEJEM VAN" – A HUNYADI SZTÁRJA, HERMÁNYI MARIANN MEGLEPŐ KIJELENTÉSE." Below the headline, there is a subheading in smaller black text that reads: "A színészszönhöz sokáknak idén tűnt meg ismertette a Hunyadi sorozatban való emlékezetes alakításával. Hermányi Mariann most arról mesélte, hogyan változott meg az élete a premier óta, és milyen visszajelzéseket kapott a közönségét és a családától." The page also includes a date, "LETRÉHOZVA: 2025.08.31," and the author's name, "Sezer K. G." The top of the page features a navigation bar with various sections such as "Kulcsőr Edina," "Horeszóp," "Kerkez Milos," "Tóth Gábi," "Adatállászat," "Collagegyű," "Krausz Gábor," and "Retro Rádió." Additionally, there are icons for "Mezetelek," "Hunyadi Sorozat," "Hermanyi Mariann," "Előítélet," and "Hír név." The website's logo, "ripost," is displayed at the top left corner, and the temperature in Budapest is shown as 24°C.

Na zdjęciu widzimy osobę na rowerze, poruszającą się po zimowej drodze. Osoba jest ubrana w ciemny płaszcz, sztywną czapkę i buty do wody, co sugeruje chłodne warunki pogodowe. Rower jest prosty, z jednym kołem przód i drugim tył, co może wskazywać na brak nowoczesnych technologii. Droga jest otoczona drzewami, a w tle widać mgłę, co dodaje atmosfery zimowego dnia. Na zdjęciu widnieje tekst: "NIE SPRZĘT, A TECHNIKA CZYNI Z CIEBIE ZAWODNIKA", co sugeruje, że umiejętność rowerzysty jest ważniejsza niż sprzęt.

The EU is a neoliberal Institution and cannot be reformed. The EU parliament can't propose its own legislation. It can only approve, reject or make minor adjustments to legislation handed down by the unelected European Commission. The EC itself gets its instructions from the "Eurogroup" which consists of a few unelected wealthy finance ministers that offer no transparency of their meetings.
It mandates a "competitive free market economy" for its members.

What we name things in cities matters. Especially things that were built with a lot of public money and should be helping define the city. We sell names too often, and too cheaply, and too often to the same damn companies (yes you, Rogers).

It's good that we can argue the toss about the pros and cons of different approaches to decentralisation. Both the plumbing side of it, and the sociopolitical implications. It's all part of how we learn from prior art.
But let's not let these debates harden into holy wars. All open protocols with full Free Code implementations are a Good Thing(TM). Use what suits.
"Let that sink in: Israeli (American) soldiers would have the same protections as American army soldiers. An Israeli soldier starving babies and committing a war crime in Gaza would be legally indistinguishable from an American Marine guarding Camp Pendleton."

✏️ Mi sembra di tornare a scuola!
Che bella sensazione 😄
Dopo molti anni riprendo a studiare cose che stavo dimenticando… e lo faccio con Wireshark 🦈.
Con una rete casalinga discretamente grande come la mia, non ci si annoia mai: ogni pacchetto è una lezione, ogni log è un ripasso.
In fondo, repetita iuvant… e se poi scopro che il colpevole del traffico strano è il tostapane smart, almeno mi faccio due risate 😂.
📌 OSI vs TCP/IP e Wireshark
7. Application / Application
→ HTTP, DNS, FTP, SMTP, XMPP, DHCP… se non cifrati.
→ HTTPS/QUIC solo se hai le chiavi (SSLKEYLOGFILE o simili).
6. Presentation / (incluso in Application)
→ Decodifica dei dati (ASCII, UTF-8, JSON, immagini) se non cifrati.
5. Session / (incluso in Application)
→ Gestione sessioni applicative (TLS handshake, SIP session setup).
4. Transport / Transport
→ TCP (handshake, ACK, ritrasmissioni, porte, finestre).
→ UDP (DNS, QUIC).
→ SCTP.
3. Network / Internet
→ IPv4/IPv6 (indirizzi, instradamento, TTL, frammentazione).
→ ICMP (ping, errori di rete).
2. Data Link / Network Access
→ Ethernet (MAC src/dst, ARP).
→ Wi-Fi 802.11 (Beacon, Probe, Data, QoS, WPA handshake).
1. Physical / Network Access
→ Non direttamente (non misura voltaggi o onde radio).
→ Ma tramite driver puoi vedere: potenza segnale Wi-Fi (dBm), frequenza, canale.
📌 Sintesi rapida
- Wireshark lavora benissimo da Livello 2 a 4 (Data Link, Network, Transport).
- Sul Livello 7 (Application) ti fa vedere tutto se il traffico è in chiaro, altrimenti solo metadati se cifrato.
- Il Livello 1 lo vedi solo indirettamente (RSSI, canale).

Auf der Oberfläche der Scheiben sind mehrere kleine, dunkle Punkte zu sehen, die wie Insekten oder Spinnenteile aussehen. Die Papierscheiben haben eine leicht rauhe Textur und sind auf einem weißen Hintergrund platziert, der die Scheiben hervorhebt. Die Scheiben scheinen aus einem einfachen, unverzierungten Papier zu bestehen, und die dunklen Punkte sind gleichmäßig verteilt.

I went back and rewatched the original trilogy sometime in the 1990s, realized I thought they were all cheesy but the 1976 movie got a pass for being fun, while everything afterwards was comical.
The 2000s movies, first one I saw at the end of it the audience was stunned into silence by how bad it was, then some dude stood up and said "THAT MOVIE SUCKED!" and everyone clapped.
They're just more postmodern recombinant bloat now, but let's face it... this series should have been one movie and quit.

The first movie was coherent: make a fun space epic.
After that, decay set in... people drifted farther away from anything like a goal.
It felt like an episode of Stargate by the time they hit the Phantom Menace.
But it's true that some quality filmmaking went into the 1970s-1980s movies.
I cannot forgive an Ewok however...

If you're seriously saying that about the original trilogy of Star Wars movies then you are a blankface. The first two Star Wars movies are excellent pieces of cinema that have great pacing to every scene, great acting, and great special effects. The Ewoks in RotJ are super cheesy and arguably out of place but that doesn't detract from what the rest of the movie does well.
Of all the things they could be rightly criticized for, "incoherent and moronic" is something a tweenager would say. They're incredibly clear given that words like Jedi and The Force didn't exist prior to the movies releasing in theaters.

Unknown parent • • •>I think the action scenes [...] in the prequels actually mops the floor with the originals
This is genuinely a very low IQ opinion because the actions scenes in the prequels have choreography like martial arts theater, which is a direct contradiction to the single-strike heaviness that underscored the original movies' action.
