  🚨 A heads-up for anyone running #WordPress, #Moodle, #Nextcloud or other PHP-based services. PHP has confirmed two critical vulnerabilities, both rated 9.2/10.

CERT-EU advises considering temporary isolation of public-facing services if prompt patching isn't possible. It sounds pretty bad. Affected versions are not yet confirmed but I've heard 5.4+ https://www.php.net #PHP #Se...

  I have a duress password as I use #GrapheneOS. Turns out if you use it at the US border then you can be charged with a felony. Yet another reason I won't be going over there again anytime soon. https://www.theverge.com/policy/971097/us-charging-american-citizen-wiping-phone-duress-password

  What an absolute pleasure it's been to run the pilot cohort of #TechFreedom with @Tom_c_watson over the last six weeks. Some really interesting people from three different countries attended the sessions and the conversation and learning was top-notch 🤘 https://techfreedom.eu

  I've been at the Thinking Digital conference today - must be my 8th time, I reckon. https://thinkingdigital.co.uk It used to be very VC and US friendly, which put me off a bit. While it's not *anti* that now, but the focus has definitely shifted.

  What if I told you that we could reduce the energy used per useful AI output by ~100x through existing techniques? https://blog.dougbelshaw.com/ais-energy-problem-is-a-systems-problem (I'm "looking forward" to people replying before actually, you know, reading the post. Maybe don't be that person?) #AI #SystemsThinking #Policy
