Magic sunset in Pellestrina, #Venice, #Veneto

There are roughly 30 years of poorly written code floating around the web, riddled with bugs and vulnerabilities accumulated over time. Recent news shows how AI models are uncovering flaws at an unprecedented speed. And they are doing it quietly, while most people (at least here in Italy) are on vacation. The open-source community is heavily impacted because the code is auditable... Yet it is also the one reacting best, precisely thanks to its transparency. A concrete example is the volunteer Red Team led by @calle and Rob Hamilton: they are conducting large-scale security assessments on Bitcoin ecosystem projects, supported by funding and API credit donations provided by OpenSats. I assume that after open source, home banking systems will be hit next, where we have closed-source code that is often decades deep in legacy layers, patched repeatedly to modernize web interfaces without ever truly touching the COBOL backend. It is time to rethink your digital privacy and security strategy. This applies to both businesses and individuals. It is not something to be underestimated. And the responsibility cannot be delegated. #privacy #opensource #cybersecurity #vulnerabilities #bug

De-Googling an old phone: How I ruined my weekend :-) We aren't locked into the #Apple or #Google ecosystems. FOSS alternatives exist for practically everything. After setting up a Debian home server a few months back, I spent this weekend de-Googling an old Samsung A50. I disabled Google Play Services via ADB, then loaded up F-Droid for #Kvaesitso, #Fennec, Organic Maps, and open-source sync tools. Aurora Store got my banking apps and PayPal installed seamlessly... but now comes the real test: seeing if Play Integrity lets me actually log in without stock GMS or signature spoofing for microG. #Privacy isn't impossible; it just requires a bit of effort (and some serious troubleshooting).

Una volta le email giravano grazie a Exchange su Windows NT 4.0 (💩) e Postfix su Linux (❤️) Purtroppo per me, ho gestito entrambi gli ambienti prima della maggiore età, ma questi sono dettagli. Poi le aziende hanno deciso di fare cost reduction mettendo le email in cloud, eliminando il server e licenziando il sysadmin. Poi è arrivato whatsapp e ognuno di noi ha deliberatamente deciso di usarlo per velocizzare la comunicazione e dimenticarsi l'italiano, che tanto ci sono le faccine "Visual". Sono almeno 2 decenni che mettiamo in mano le nostre comunicazioni chiave ad enti centralizzati, scambiando la nostra privacy per la comodità e la gratuità. E adesso con Chat Control ci stracciamo le vesti perché scopriaml che qualcun altro può leggere le nostre conversazioni. Fino a ieri il mostro da evitare era Telegram che salva tutte le conversazioni in chiaro. Domani sarà la UE grazie a #Chatcontrol Punto 1, è inutile lamentarsi perché quelli che hanno approvato il provvedimento, li abbiamo votati noi Punto 2, le alternative ci sono e sono all'interno del mondo Open Source. Se vi sta a cuore la vostra privacy vi consiglio di studiare come funzionano le chiavi e le firme PGP.

I showed a Python-PLC integration (JSON-based) to a 28yo. Reaction: "Should be more user-friendly." Zero curiosity about the logic. Zero interest in the machine control. They only care about "colored pebbles." The Apple/Instagram aesthetic obsession has killed technical mastery. Keep your shiny cage. I'll keep my sovereignty. #OpenSource #Programming #Industrial #Linux #Bitcoin #DigitalSovereignity
