@rustyk5 's suggestion of The Social Web is a million times better than Fediverse, OStatus network etc, and a billion times better than anything with "GNU" in it
Oh Remember, if you server hop you refresh your connection for a new mastodon instance:
FYI:
It appears hashtags WITHIN CWs are searchable, but not in the labels.

@maradydd So a Sapir, a Whorf, a Milgram and an Orwell walk into a bar where the only way to communicate is in short ideologically-aligned grunts...
I'm just happy nobody seems to be discussing the news now

プリクラ #throwback it is
goddamn these are tiny avatars
The CW feature is awesome. Love that it exists. But I swear to god I'm about to need CWs for toots about CWs if this keeps up, there are as many toots arguing about CWs on here as there are Trump-themed tweets on birdsite. Pls stop, talk about *anything else* I beg you
For #ff #followfriday, follow everyone who boosts this
but don't follow me
that'd be a toot daft
gnusocial but with more 🔫s
gunsocial let's build it
As an instance admin there is no good reason not to be transparent about your blocklist.

IoT Goes Nuclear: Creating a ZigBee Chain Reaction
E. Ronen et al.
In this paper we describe a new type of threat in which adjacent IoT devices will infect each other with a worm that will spread explosively over large areas in a kind of nuclear chain reaction, provided that the density of compatible IoT devices exceeds a certain critical mass. In particular, we developed and verified such an infection using the popular Philips Hue smart
lamps as a platform.

A Terrorist-fraud Resistant and Extractor-free Anonymous Distance-bounding Protocol
Gildas Avoine et al.
[…]In this paper, we propose a novel approach to obtain provable terrorist-fraud resistant protocols without assuming that provers have any long-term secret key. Instead, the attacker simply has to replay the information that he has received from his accomplice.[…]
