Please tell your friends, four weeks before @phrack submission deadline! We also are seeking both interior and cover art. We are working with our friends at @pagedout_zine again to create a fancy interior design for our main annual release!! Be a part of hacker history!

Vor genau einem Jahr habe ich einen Raspberry Zero2 W in Paraffinöl versenkt.

Das Öl sorgt dafür, dass der Prozessor auch unter Höchstlast kaum wärmer wird als Zimmertemperatur.

Seitdem berechnet er mit einem BOINC-Client für die Mathematisch-Physikalische Fakultät in Prag 24/7 Asteroidendaten.

So ermitteln wir die Umlaufbahnen aller Asteroiden und wissen, wo die ihre Bahnen ziehen und auch, ob wir uns Sorgen machen müssen, dass uns einer in Zukunft trifft.

Ein genau baugleicher Zero2 W mit genau der gleichen Software führt genau die gleiche Aufgabe ungekühlt aus.

Und jetzt stellt sich die Frage: Macht perfekte Kühlung einen Leistungsunterschied aus?

Und die Antwort ist: Ja!

Und zwar signifikant! – 5,97 %

So das wäre auch geklärt. 😀

In a couple hours, we'll be rolling out About This Account globally, allowing you to see the country or region where an account is based. This will be accessible by tapping the signup date on profiles.

This is an important first step to securing the integrity of the global town square. We plan to provide many more ways for users to verify the authenticity of the content they see on X.

And for those in countries where speech has penalties, we've included privacy toggles to only show your region.

This was a huge undertaking. A special thanks to the engineers who made this happen: @sandeep_rao @singhai @mingsong @striedinger @rzhao0506

@StopYourLies @arielpogimo @abstractedaway @micah_erfan @MaryTilesTexas It’s still up, but looks like they’ve used a VPN to change the displayed country.

To view account locations, go to the profile then click the “Joined (month) (year)” under their name. Some accounts will also have a shield/exclamation icon you can click.

It’s 2025 and professional code tools have “reduced hallucinations” as a serious , legitimate bullet point in their marketing.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

This feels relevant right now.

…because every effort is just to breathe.

The little one survived. So did the kiddo in the next room. Both were resuscitated multiple times over my shift. We finally had to intubate.

But, let’s be clear: this is why we vaccinate for pertussis.

A good friend of mine died this morning, and there is nothing you can do to change that, but please do call those friends of yours whom you've not seen in a while. Share a beer, swap stories of the good old days. Maybe watch a sunset or two.

Not one second will have been wasted.

@bluknight Yep, I’ll be in the building ticket or no

It’s not normal to need year-round air conditioning in so much of the northern hemisphere. It’s not normal for so many people to have such frequent health problems. But because both situations are gradual rather than sudden, people procrastinate and minimize.

I wish this wasn't so true

With the Internet gone, the most desperate addicts crumbled into withdrawal, huffing pixels in plastic bags and screeching out dialup tones.

It’s been a weird day.
