After more than 15 years on Twitter, I'll stop posting and interacting on this platform (for a lot of reasons).

You can still find me in the fediverse (@[email protected]) and on Bluesky (@dbrgn.bsky.social). See you on the other (much brighter!) side!

Beim blauen Himmel fühlt es sich an wie Twitter im Jahr 2010... Und der Netzwerkeffekt zieht auch langsam richtig an, viele bekannte Handles 🙂

@AssegaaiJulius @Rainmaker1973 This video explains pretty well how flagellar motors are being studied (including indirect imaging): https://t.co/pt3eI9IrRq That process alone is pretty mindblowing.

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill.

Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me):

@AkuStable31828 @ThreemaApp @signalapp Not sure if your reply is serious or just trolling, but Signal supports neither Romansh nor Swiss German.

One of the most requested features hits the public beta: the ability to edit/delete sent messages. 🙌 Join the beta program to give it a try: https://t.co/nMjIn1JQ18

🤯 There are many things out of your control when implementing disappearing messages. They can land in notification histories, they might still appear in system logs. Disappearing messages are never perfect.

However, that *one thing* that you can do is: Actually deleting them.

[Joey Krug @joeykrug]

This feels like as good a time as any to disclose another critical Signal vulnerability I found. TLDR is that prior to mid 2021, Signal *didn’t delete* disappearing messages after they “disappeared.” So say you had a message from 2016 that you thought disappeared years ago, nope!

@kuenzler @AVM_DE Etwas aufändig und teuer, aber dafür hat man gleich noch Homeserver, NAS und Mediacenter mit dabei.

@kuenzler @AVM_DE Ich habe die Suche nach sinnvoller Consumer-Router-Hardware für Fiber7 aufgegeben und bin bei Eigenbau-Consumer-PC-Hardware (Ryzen 5) mit zwei 10G-Mellanox-Netzwerkkarten gelandet. OS und Routing ist mit NixOS, systemd-networkd und nftables umgesetzt.

@richie_penski @mysk_co @dpihac @signalapp @ThreemaApp It depends on the version. V1 is in-memory only, no persistence. V2 stores chats and keys locally, but everything is encrypted with a key derived from the user password.

The clock is ticking: if EU citizens don’t act now, #ChatControl could become a reality – and online privacy a thing of the past. https://t.co/utdJrKDVBw

@FlauschTheQueen @Aljo6769 @haller_urs Ja, in dem Punkt hat der Zoe einen Vorteil 🙂 Hauptnachteil sehe ich beim für heutige Verhältnisse langsamen DC-Laden mit 50 kW, sowie beim fehlenden Abstands-Assistenten. In der Praxis ist es aber kein Problem, auch nicht bei längeren Strecken.
