In today’s digital landscape, corporate interests, shifting distribution models, and malicious cyber attacks are threatening public access to our shared cultural history.

The rise of streaming platforms and temporary licensing agreements means that sound recordings, books, films, and other cultural artifacts that used to be owned in physical form, are now at risk—in digital form—of disappearing from public view without ever being archived.

Web sites like MTV News, Gawker, and others are removed from the live web by their corporate owners, leaving only web archives like those in the Wayback Machine as the last remaining public record of their reporting and cultural impact.

Cyber attacks, like those against the Internet Archive, British Library, Seattle Public Library, Toronto Public Library and Calgary Public Library, are a new form of digital barrier, impeding access to information at community scale.

When digital materials are vulnerable to sudden removal—whether by design or by attack—our collective memory is compromised, and the public’s ability to access its own history is at risk. Vanishing Culture: A Report on Our Fragile Cultural Record aims to raise awareness of these growing issues, featuring essays from:

• Digital librarian Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive;
• Humanities scholar Luca Messarra;
• Book historian and social media star Allie Alvis;
• Game designer Jordan Mechner;
• Journalist Philip Bump;
• Writer and editor Maria Bustillos;
• Film archivist Rick Prelinger;
• Digital humanities scholar Nichole Misako Nomura;
• Writer and book artist Eve Scarborough;
• And many more…

The report details recent instances of cultural loss, highlights the underlying causes, and emphasizes the critical role that public-serving libraries and archives must play in preserving these materials for future generations. By empowering libraries and archives legally, culturally, and financially, we can safeguard the public’s ability to maintain access to our cultural history and our digital future.

i like secure and only you can access your footage and not the camera maker or hackers

what do you like

was using tails at a cafe that blocks all videos (for some reason) i used a bridge (the easy default one) went to invidious but no videos worked because of the network. everything else on the site worked. does it know the contents of the page despite tor? (im not using a work or school given device i am using framework)

(i also have an unsafe home network and have to use a google wireless access point. also have someone who has a virus. (we dont share the same device just same network) i cant remove it because i get scolded for messing with her stuff and spying on her (??? yes the virus is spyware the irony lol)) (everything i do has to be on device because my family doesn’t want me messing with the wifi)

(also any qubes specific advice would help since i wont be using tails as my daily driver anymore since i learned its not for that. also not a fan of the gimmicks but thats just me.)

thanks for reading any commcnt helps more people see this )

that would be good. wanted to talk about this for awareness

ppl who have learning disabilities or are older or are younger or just get scared easily it is harder for them to read guides and do something making them more private. i have a learning problem (im not telling my age) and its harder to know what to do.

A map of where anime and manga are set rather than filmed, because nothing is filmed in a drawn show. 568 titles, 589 real places, 39 countries.

It has Washinomiya Shrine for Lucky Star and Hida-Furukawa Station for Your Name. It has nothing at all for Attack on Titan or One Piece, Slam Dunk is only Hiroshima, and about half the map is still just a city rather than the actual spot. (Working on it)

I have not gotten to the rest yet. If you know an exact spot, tell me and I might be able add it.

Thanks wikihow, I hate you too

I was just looking to plug a new zigbee coordinator into a POE switch today, then thought - that’s going to be on the wrong VLAN, or, did I trunk the uplink…?

So… that made me think - is anyone using / tried / failed to export device configs, feed it into an AI, and get it to draw out the network??

Among the many recent controversies around AI, there is the claim that to solve a longstanding mathematical problem, OpenAI stole the work of the New York University mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and a colleague, Levent Alpöge, who also is a researcher for Anthropic. I have no ability to assess the validity of the claim, but as I understand it, the argument is that OpenAI had access to work done by Buckmaster and Alpöge. It then built on this work to quickly rush ahead and find a solution, which also had a $1 million prize attached to it.

Insofar as that accurately describes what OpenAI did, this seems like it would be equivalent to having a professor doing a seminar for colleagues and then having one of the attendees do a few additions and claim the work as their own. This would not be viewed as very collegial behavior in a normal academic department.

I’m not sure what claim a professor would have against a colleague under such circumstances. I suppose if their work was properly cited, there would not be a claim of plagiarism. (OpenAI’s work did not directly cite the work of Buckmaster and Alpöge, from my understanding.) I suppose there could be a basis for disputing rights to the million-dollar prize. But the problem seems much greater.

If AI can effectively steal the work of others, and claim it as its own, then it undermines the practice of openness in science that has allowed for enormous progress for centuries. This practice depended on norms, whereby scientists would properly credit the work of their peers.

In the seminar scenario I described, if one of the attendees listened to the presentation and realized the one or two additional steps needed to get over the goal line, they would be expected to raise the issue with the presenter. Assuming the additions were correct, the presenter would finish the paper, acknowledging the contribution or possibly adding the attendee as a co-author, if their contribution was sufficiently important.

But that relies on norms. If the owner of the AI doesn’t share those norms and can freely scrape scientific work wherever it finds it, and then take credit for the product, it will threaten the longstanding practice of openness in science. With the risk of having years of work stolen without getting any credit, researchers will likely keep their work closely held until they have a finished paper.1 They would only share it with a small group of trusted colleagues. Posting a working paper, or having an open seminar, would put control over their work at risk.

However, it is important to recognize the villain in this story. It is Sam Altman and his company, not the AI. Altman and the company are the ones responsible for what their AI does. If it did something they disapprove of, it is their responsibility to correct it. However adept AI may become, it is not the active player; it is the individual or company that set it in motion.

This issue applies more generally. There has been a social media mini firestorm over Texas Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton using AI to have his opponent, James Talarico, making a series of outlandish statements that he never said. Much of the outrage seems to be over Paxton using AI, rather than the fact that he is lying about what Talarico said.

The issue here is that Paxton is defaming Talarico; the AI is secondary. The AI presumably makes the defamation more effective, but if Paxton were an exceptionally gifted mimic, he could likely also trick some people into believing that he was speaking in Talarico’s voice when making outlandish assertions. If that were the case, it would be every bit as bad as using AI to accomplish the job.

There were also the claims that the girls’ school in Iran, which was destroyed by the US military on the first day of the war, killing 120 children, was selected as a target by AI. That may be the case, but the important point was that the military did not have a system in place to properly review targets. It doesn’t matter whether or not an AI system identified the target. The problem was that there was no system that ensured the places designated were proper military targets.

It is important to keep our eyes on the ball. The bad actors are those who do bad things with AI, not the AI. This is like the husband who gets drunk and beats his wife and then says the whiskey did it. No one should ever accept that story. In the same vein, if a theft of mathematical work did occur, it was Sam Altman who did it and it was Ken Paxton who libeled his political opponent. The AI is beside the point.

MTL

Thank you very much for your continued support of Junket Bank. We sincerely apologize to everyone looking forward to the series for the announcement regarding the postponement of the TV anime broadcast.

Having fought for several days with this, I’d thought it would be worth sharing while it’s still fresh in what’s left of my mind:

Problem:

• OpenWRT router running latest available version (25.12) and Luci UI.
• IP cam that I want hardwired-only (Ethernet).
• Cam must have no access to internet or rest of LAN.
• Cam must only be accessed directly by the NVR software.
• Software (NVR and reverse proxy) run as docker containers on server PC.
• Any other LAN device (laptop, phone) must be able to access the NVR only via the reverse proxy.

Network topology:

• Cam is plugged physically in lan1 port on router.
• Server is plugged physically in lan3 port on router.
• The problem above basically means we need two tagged VLANs, one for regular LAN devices, and one just for NVR and camera.

Configuring the VLANs in OpenWRT:

Before anything else: try doing the next batch of configs from wireless if possible not Ethernet, in case you mess up and lose wired connectivity to the router.

• Go to Network > Interfaces > Devices and press “Configure” for the bridge that holds your router ports. This will typically be called “br-lan”.
• Go to the “Bridge VLAN filtering” tab and check “enable Vlan filtering”.
• Press the “Add” button twice to get two VLANs.
• First VLAN: set id=1, check “local”, mark lan1=off (not member), lan2=untagged, lan3=tagged (also primary), lan4=untagged. You can use any ID but “1” is traditional for the base LAN network.
• Second VLAN: set id=100, check “local”, mark lan1=untagged, lan2=off, lan3=tagged, lan4=off. Again, you can use any ID, but it’s traditional to avoid numbers under 10 because they’re typically used for core VLANs.
• Case in point, please note that my router has two physical NICs, one for LAN ports 1-4 and one for WAN, so I have a separate br-wan device just for wan. But some routers only have one physical NIC so they only have one bridge that covers both lan1-4 and wan ports. On these routers when you get to the filtering tab you will find two VLANs (1 and 2, typically) already set up. If this is the case add the VLAN 100 and modify VLAN 1 as above and mark wan as off in 100.
• After you press “save” you will notice two new virtual devices called “br-lan.1” and “br-lan.100” type VLAN 802.1q have appeared in the device list.
• Do not apply modifications yet. First go to Network > Interfaces, edit the “lan” interface and switch it from device “br-lan” to device “br-lan.1”, otherwise you may lose connectivity to router if you’re on Ethernet.
• If you’ve applied changes early and lose connectivity, don’t panic, just wait. In recent OpenWRT versions after 90s without confirmation from the UI the router will automatically rollback the last changes.

If all went well and you’re on wireless or one of the untagged Ethernet ports (lan2 or lan4) you should have retained connectivity to the router and wireless devices.

Configuring the NVR network in OpenWRT:

• Go to Network > Interfaces, click “Add new interface”.
• Call it “NVR”, protocol “static address”, device “br-lan.100”.
• Next, edit it and set up your desired IPv4 address and netmask.
• You MUST go to “firewall settings” and use the “custom” field to add a new “NVR” zone. alternatively you can go to Network > Fireall, create the NVR zone there, and choose it here.
• Enable DHCP if you want.
• If you do, please note that some routers bind dnsmasq only explicitly to select interfaces. Please check under Network > DHCP > dnsmasq > Devices & Ports and if “non-wildcard” is checked you will have to add “NVR” to the “Listen interfaces” to actually get DHCP services on that network.
• Under Network > Firewall you should have a zone called “NVR”. Set input/output/forward to accept/accept/reject.
• Under Network > Firewall > Traffic rules you have to add a new rule, calld it “NVR DHCP”, that says that protocol UDP, source zone “NVR”, destination “device (input)”, destination port 67, action “accept”, and under advanced restrict address family to IPv4. Traffic rules have priority over zone configuration so DHCP will work no matter how you fuck up your zone access.
• We will be skipping DNS because we don’t want the NVR network to benefit from any. But if we did we’d be doing the same we did for DHCP (got to Network > DNS to enable explicitly on NVR interface, and add a traffic rule for it).

Configuring the camera:

• Plug the camera into port lan1, it should pick up a DHCP address on the network you’ve defined for interface “NVR”.
• In order to be able to access that IP from your regular LAN to configure the camera with your phone you’ll have to temporarily add the “NVR” zone to the list of forward zonez of the “lan” zone.
• Would probably be a good idea to either configure the camera to a static IP or give it a static DHCP assignment based on the Ethernet MAC, so you know where to reach it from the NVR software.
• Remember to remove the “NVR” zone from the lan’s zone forwards when you’re done.

Configuring the server for tagged VLAN connectivity:

• Your server (port lan3) was marked for tagged VLAN connectivity in OpenWRT but it doesn’t (yet) actually use tagged connections. We have to fix that or it won’t be reachable.
• Feel free to mark lan3 as “untagged” on VLAN 1 to connect to it while you change the settings, but keep in mind that direct console access may be needed if you fuck up.
• My server runs Debian so configuration basically runs down to loading module 8021q (and adding it to /etc/modules just in case, although this should be largely automated), and editing /etc/network/interfaces. Feel free to adjust the example below to your needs:

# this will bring up eth0 but leave it unconfigured, merely as a support carrier for the VLANs 
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

# this will set up VLAN ID 1 and tell it to use DHCP
auto eth0.1
iface eth0.1 inet dhcp

# this will set up VLAN ID 100 with a static address
auto eth0.100
iface eth0.100 inet static
	address 10.234.100.2/24

Configuring docker networks and containers:

• Remember I said the proxy and the NVR are running in docker containers. If you haven’t done anything fancy with them before, you were probably using ports: to expose a port for the proxy and one for the NVR on the host’s LAN IP, and pointing the proxy to the NVR.
• First, we will want to make an ipvlan or macvlan docker network that will use the eth0.100 interface. Containers that use this network will be placed in the NVR network/zone, and have their communications tagged with VLAN ID 100. Feel free to customize the network range. You can use either ipvlan or macvlan, the latter is not very useful since docker can’t do DHCP. Note the use of aux-address to reserve the IP you’ve assigned the camera, in case there’s potential overlap with the range you choose for automatic allocation. It’s essential that you use the eth0.100 interface as parent.

docker network create --driver ipvlan \
--ip-range=10.234.100.97/27 --subnet=10.234.100.0/24 --gateway=10.234.100.1 \
--aux-address 'cam1=10.234.100.10' \
-o parent=eth0.100 nvr-vlan

• We also need a bridge network that will allow the proxy to see the NVR container, because once the NVR container is placed on the NVR network on the VLAN ID 100 it won’t be reachable directly by the proxy.

docker network create --driver bridge \
--opt com.docker.network.bridge.name=br-docker-proxy \
--ipv4 --subnet=172.23.1.0/24 --gateway=172.23.1.1 \
proxy-bridge

• Next, in the NVR container compose, join both proxy-bridge and nvr-lan:

services:
  nvr:
    networks:
      nvr-vlan:
      proxy-bridge:
    hostname: nvr
networks:
  nvr-vlan:
    external: true
  proxy-bridge:
    external: true

• Also in the proxy container compose you will want to join the proxy-bridge network.
• Remove the ports: directive from the NVR container, it doesn’t serve any purpose now. Containers on ipvlan/macvlan are reachable by their native port assignments on the networks they’ve joined.
• Please note the hostname: nvr in the NVR compose, that’s the name you will have to use in the proxy configuration to reach the NVR. Docker will supply a DNS resolve for this automatically.
• The proxy doesn’t need to be on nvr-vlan. I mean you can, but you need to keep the proxy accessible from the main network so it will keep using ports: as usual.

Sawce is from an ancient reddit thread from the beforefore. Part of a series of cool looking things someone created that made everyone all like whaaa and huhuhh n whaaaattt and wowwww

In short: I am out of sauce.

I learned about this from Matt Parker’s Stand-Up Maths channel. It was originally conceived as a counterexample, a sorting algorithm that was obviously broken, but it does actually sort correctly. The algorithm:

for i = 1 to n do  
    for j = 1 to n do  
        if A[i] < A[j] then  
            swap A[i] and A[j]  

It has a few quirks (like j accessing elements outside of i’s range, and the A[i] < A[j] comparator being backward) that should break it, but they all work together to make the algorithm correctly (if inefficiently) sort the input.

paper describing the algorithm in more detail.

There’s a special edition of the Switch 2 in relation to commemorating the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, which is expected to release around October 29 2026. Keep in mind this is discussing the Region Locked version of the console rather than the Global Switch 2 everyone else owns. I mean, you can import it upon release but comes with caveats (must have a JP Nintendo Account and speak / understand Japanese).

Prices will differ based on region upon release for the same thing, which is like why:

• US: $519.99 (excl. Sales Tax)
• EU: 519,99€ (inc. VAT)
• UK: £419.99 (inc. VAT)
• AU: A$799.95 (inc. GST)

Will you buy the console when it releases?
