A quotation from Douglas Adams
A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
Hitchhiker’s Guide No. 5, Mostly Harmless, ch. 12 (1992)More about this quote: wist.info/adams-douglas/1464/

"Iran crippled Starlink and why the rest of the world should worry
The service became synonymous with censorship-proof connectivity. Iran has just proved that assumption wrong.
Iran is systematically crippling Starlink, the satellite internet service said to be almost impossible to jam.
Military-grade GPS jammers deployed since January 8 have cut satellite internet performance by as much as 80% in parts of the country, according toAmir Rashidi, director of digital rights at the Miaan Group, a U.S.-based nonprofit focused on Iranian internet censorship and digital rights.
'The level of violence by the government is unlike anything I have ever witnessed,' Rashidi wrote on LinkedIn. 'The Islamic Republic is killing to survive.'
The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reports at least 572 people have been killed and more than 10,600 arrested since protests erupted on December 28. Iran Human Rights, based in Norway, said the real toll could be far higher. Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi warned of a potential 'massacre under the cover of a sweeping communications blackout.'

(. . .)
Tehran has introduced a 'white list' system that allows government-aligned media selective access while ordinary citizens remain cut off. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s X account continued posting even as the rest of Iran went dark.
Starlink was designed to withstand exactly this kind of censorship. Its thousands of low-Earth orbit satellites, shifting frequencies, and independence from terrestrial infrastructure made it the ultimate fail-safe for activists, journalists and militaries operating under blackout conditions.
Russia tried jamming the satellite service in Ukraine starting in 2022, and SpaceX, which operates Starlink, pushed software updates that quickly countered the attacks. Tehran appears to have succeeded where Moscow failed.

## LibreSSL 4.3.1 released!
* Internal improvements
- Remove the unused sequence number from X509_REVOKED.
- Replace a call to atoi() with strtonum() in nc(1) and replace a
misleading use of ntohs() with htons().
- openssl(1) speed now uses HMAC-SHA256 for its hmac benchmark.
- Reimplemented only use of ASN1_PRINTABLE_type() in openssl(1) ca.
The API will be removed in an upcoming release.
- Add curve NID to EC_POINT objects so the library has a clue on which
curve a given EC_POINT is supposed to live.
- Use curve NID to check for compatibility between group and points
in various EC API. This isn't 100% failsafe but good enough for sane
uses.
- Require SSE in order to use gcm_{gmult,ghash}_4bit_mmx().
On rare i386 machines suporting MMX but not SSE this could result
in an illegal instruction.
- Cleaned up asn1t.h to make it somewhat readable and more robust by
using C99 initializers in particular.
- Further assembly macro improvements for -portable.
- Add fast path for well-known DH primes in DH_check() (including
those from RFC 7919). Some projects still fiddle with this in 2025.
- Rewrite ec_point_cmp() for readability and robustness.
- Improve EVP_{Open,Seal}Init() internals. This is legacy API that
cannot be removed since one scripting language still exposes it.
- ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() now trims trailing zero bits itself rather
than relying on i2c_ASN1_BIT_STRING() to do that when encoding.
- Fix and add workarounds to libtls to improve const correctness and
to avoid warnings when compiling with OpenSSL 4.
- Prefix EC_KEY methods with ec_key_ to avoid problems in some static
links.https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260420085845

Solang unsere Städte keine failsafe Infrastruktur haben und man diese Verkehrsgetöteten achselzuckend als Preis für unsere automobile fReIHeiT abtut, werden wir in täglicher Regelmäßigkeit solche Meldungen lesen müssen in denen dann noch oft die Schuld dafür nicht den Verursachern sondern den Opfern zugeschrieben wird.

Что мы изменили в сети, чтобы сделать её устойчивее
Даже сложная и продуманная технологическая система не застрахована от инцидентов — это касается любых инфраструктур, от железнодорожных и коммунальных до IT. Поэтому инженерам, которые обеспечивают надёжность систем, важно не только предотвращать проблемы, но и минимизировать их влияние за счёт хорошего антикризисного (или DR ) плана. Меня зовут Костя Крамлих, я отвечаю за сетевую виртуализацию и сетевые сервисы в Yandex Cloud. К написанию этой статьи меня подтолкнула наша работа по предотвращению крупных инцидентов, наподобие тех, что произошли в конце 2024 года. Разрешить их удалось благодаря слаженной работе всей команды, и по итогам мы сделали выводы, которые не ограничиваются только устранением сетевых аварий. Сегодня по материалам реальных событий расскажу о сетевой части: — что важно знать о том, как ломаются большие системы, на наших примерах; — как мы проанализировали все наши инциденты за последний год и что сделали, чтобы предотвратить появление проблем на инфраструктуре; — как подошли к внедрению этих улучшений небольшими шагами, чтобы они не стали источником новых инцидентов.

Инцидент с Unitree G1 — это не курьёз, а наглядная демонстрация системного риска киберфизических систем. Ошибка в софте, сенсорах или управлении в случае LLM остаётся на уровне текста; в случае роботизированной платформы она немедленно материализуется в силу, импульс и травму.
По мере масштабирования внедрения человекоподобных машин плотность таких инцидентов будет расти — это статистика, а не предположение. Следовательно, ключевой вектор — не «запретить», а ужесточить инженерные практики: fail-safe архитектуры, ограничение усилий (force limiting), безопасные режимы по умолчанию, стандарты сертификации и протоколы взаимодействия с человеком.
Иначе рынок получит не «умных помощников», а источник регулярных травм с предсказуемым репутационным и регуляторным откатом.

TIL that the/my Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 doesn't just detect the end of the record via a sensor (a plunger that's pushed by an adjustable metal "finger"). That's just a failsafe.
The normal detection of the end of the record is by tracking velocity. When a circuit determines that the tonearm is moving at a more rapid rate for a certain period, it knows it's the runout.
1972. Just incredibly innovative...

Dear Friends of #Sigh #Borg,
I was looking at #NASA's new #reboot ... wait #robot. Just one zero short and one 'oh' too many ... #Valerie #Valkyrie or V for the shorted version. She is a #virtual #reality, controlled hominid. Similar to Lara Cruft, the rare animal killer and cultural thief.Now in order to fight these new mindless pieces of State of the Arte Police junk, I need to start preparing Robot Internal Martial Arts. Or Rimmer as it is called in Red Dwarf.

Mars in 2198 by #stablediffusion and me
the city is embedded into the landscape as a way to shield the inhabitants from the harmful radiation, which can easily be molecularized away, but is a failsafe measure and was built this way by the previous generation of humans in the great Mars Colonial Transport of 2043 when 1000 starships migrated most of the ancestors of the colony

Great, an amazing chain of events and maybe unfortunate UI design in #DAVx5 resulted in me deleting our shared #CardDAV addressbook - server side from an ancient #baikal instance, no backups (no mercy) of course. My rescue attemps of copying contacts around in #Thunderbird (why does 'export' make an effing lossy CSV without avatar!?) just made it worse, 50% of contacts now left.
It's finally time to #selfhost #radicale with #git and #borgbackup failsafes on my #nixos #homelab...

@dmaus @type bezieht sich hier auf Server-Uptime. Beide Dienste waren - zumindest im Fall von GAMS durch nicht vom Betreiber verantwortbare Infrastrukturausfälle - längere Zeit nicht verfügbar. Hier wäre "failsafe" eine besser gegen Cyberangriffe abgesicherte Infrastruktur. Im Fall des Abschaltens von HTR+ haben wir das Problem des Vendor-lock-in, das bei closed-source Software gerne mal vorkommt. "minimal edition" im Sinne von Martin Müller (project-endings) geht davon aus, daß die Editionswebseite mit nichts anderem als HTML-Renderer+JavaScript-Engine (=Browser) lesbar sind. Welche Komponenten von "minimal editing" habt ihr noch beizusteuern? #minimalediting #digitalscholarlyediting #digitalscholarlyedition

A little update on the #Plex (and Jelly) transcoding for the #synology #x25 models, DS425+ and DS225+.
A new version of the i915.ko version has been published (the #BeestationPlus one) that now supports #HDR tone mapping correctly.
Article has been updated and it is referring to this as a "v2" solution. v1 solution is still posted as a fail safe until some github scripts have been updated to the new solution.
