Fun is scarce! Let it free, you are not the enemy. In the current economy, fun is bold and frivolous. A lot of anger is floating in the internet clouds, even on planets where air and soil are good. Dyne Your Negative Energy! Nobody knows what expects us in the long run, but we can be sure this is not the end, fellow dyne. 10 years of Devuan 🎂 A decade ago, we embarked on an audacious journey, resolved to “not go gentle into that good night” and fiercely defend our freedom of choice. Today, the reality is stark: the Linux landscape has been increasingly commercialized, compromising its core values and spirit. But amidst this transformation, Devuan remains a beacon of true community-driven development. 🖖🏼 Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Devuan is a landmark in the growing need for genuine, grassroots development over glossy, corporate-controlled solutions. November 27 marked Devuan's 10th anniversary. It is the day that the Veteran Unix Admin collective announced their intention to fork Debian. Do take a walk down memory lane or if you are newer to Devuan, familiarize yourself with the creative "electricity" that has energized & sustained this project for a decade & consider offering your talents to support Devuan going forward on its amazing journey! Join the activity on the web forum or on IRC to celebrate! 🎉 Happy 10! November 27 is a day to celebrate! / News & Announcements / Dev1 Galaxy Forum Psssst!....

Volexity details an interesting attack vector they've observed in the wild. This is why a dyne tends to the neighboring planet: together we are stronger! The Nearest Neighbor Attack: How A Russian APT Weaponized Nearby Wi-Fi Networks for Covert Access In early February 2022, notably just ahead of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Volexity made a discovery that led to one of the most fascinating and complex incident investigations Volexity had ever worked. The investigation began when an alert from a custom detection signature Volexity had deployed at a customer site (“Organization A”) indicated a threat actor had compromised a server on the customer’s network. While Volexity quickly investigated the threat activity, more questions were raised than answers due to a very motivated and skilled advanced persistent threat (APT) actor, who was using a novel attack vector Volexity had not previously encountered.

Planet Dyne is a large body in space. Nobody knows exactly how large as it sometimes expands and sometimes contracts. But what constitutes this planet are the inhabitants, the dynes. You may have encountered some of the most visible ones talking about beautiful things like Diversity, Open-source, or Ecology. There is a strong sense of autonomy in a dyne, which can give the impression that a dyne operates stand-alone. But this is not how it works. The planet is organized in a circular dynamic: each dyne is being backed up by its peers while simultaneously backing them up. It would be a stretch to assume that dynes love chores, but a dyne is certainly fueled by a genuine passion for the task at hand. We like thinking but prefer doing. It's made possible by a core set of values: love for each other and presumption of kindness. Every dyne matters. The dyne chiming away at a guitar while upholding the infrastructure. The dyne crunching numbers, making sure food and shelter are secured. The dyne reviewing pull requests and the dyne submitting them. The dynes practicing their civic responsibilities, trying to save the climate in between git commits. The dynes painting on canvases of textile or screens. Those who plumber the Domain Name Systems while tilting the flippers. Write a thesis and secure the network. Advocate for a circular economy, from north to south. Apply for grants and attend the important meetings. Camping cryptographers, educational designers… Multidisciplinary dynes stepping up, and in, for each other is the gravity that holds the planet together. Sometimes unseen but never forgotten, this issue is for you, fellow dyne. ♻️ We are getting CLOSER! Circular raw materials for EU strategic autonomy on chips and microelectronics production We are launching a new project: CLOSER! We are proud to have our spinoff Forkbomb.solutions to be the software development partner of this new European project.

All advertised services are centralized, including WhatsApp and Signal. In a world where privacy is a quaint relic of the past, the masses have eagerly embraced chat technologies that are as sweet as candy but come with a bitter aftertaste of surveillance and censorship. These centralized chat platforms promise seamless communication, but what they deliver is a one-way ticket to Big Brother’s watchful eye. “Why bother with privacy when you can have stickers and emojis?” seems to be the mantra of the day. But not all hope is lost. In a delightful twist of irony, a group of irreverent and smart youth has decided to give the middle finger to these Orwellian chat tools. They’re flocking back to the good old days of the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), but with a dark twist—enter DarkIRC.

Time to get rid of the "social" networks! Another Internet is possible, and much needed, so we're back at good ol' newsletter grooming. You're always welcome on our planet, fellow human! We've long been connected in one way or another, now we hope you don't mind us sending a pulse of life from Dyne.org, some critical content, and projects like Dynebolic, Bricolabs, Unsystem, FreeJ and Frei0r, DECODE, REFLOW, INTERFACER, and free and open-source ramblings by a dyne like jaromil. Our quest here is to make it fun and cozy to live underground and share insights about surface explorations. We hope you'll stick around, these messages in a bottle from Planet Dyne will come on a bi-weekly or monthly base.

SD-BLS: Privacy Preserving Selective Disclosure of Verifiable Credentials with Unlinkable Threshold Revocation Ensuring privacy and protection from issuer corruption in digital identity systems is crucial. We propose a method for selective disclosure and privacy-preserving revocation of digital credentials using second-order Elliptic Curves and Boneh-Lynn-Shacham (BLS) signatures. We make holders able to present proofs of possession of selected credentials without disclosing them, and we protect their presentations from replay attacks. Revocations may be distributed among multiple revocation issuers using publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) and activated only by configurable consensus, ensuring robust protection against issuer corruption. Our system’s unique design enables extremely fast revocation checks, even with large revocation lists, leveraging optimized hash map lookups. arXiv.orgDenis Roio We updated the pre-print to the latest v4 for the occasion, which includes a benchmark comparison with similar functions in BBS+ Zero-Knowledge signatures.

News From DyneJaromil It requires some basic knowledge of public-key cryptography to grasp the meaning of all this and it may be still a good start for anyone willing to learn more, as many links are provided. The takeaway is also that all this is implemented in Zenroom and easy to test on Apiroom so people building crappy wallet applications that hinder your privacy have no more real excuses now. Climb a tree and eat some vitamin dyne We are not darknet fanatics, dynes are fervent proponents of the Internet. What makes us "lunar punks" is our refusal to participate in interactive cable TV.

Fellow dyne! How good to have you here again. It's been a minute. Not that the world stopped in any shape or form. Quite some things happened in the meantime. Fortunately for us, we forgot some, and love remembering what we like ☀️😎 on this note please remember that there's a beach somewhere, near or far from you, waiting to be explored 🩴 Brazil leaps forward The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), is hosting the National Conference of Data Producers and Users - National Sovereignty in Geosciences, Statistics, and Data. About the event - Conferência Nacional dos Agentes Produtores e Usuários de Dados National Conference of Data Producers and UsersDanilo Almeida de Jesus Our very own Jaromil was invited at the round table for digital cross communication and the risks and opportunities for data producers and users in the Digital Era. He explains what we are doing with our friends at AvantGarden to push progress in the country towards decentralization and privacy. If you enjoy this dyne's smartypants speech then also have a look at all the Leonardo LASER talks on "Arts and Sciences" that happened just a few days ago. For the topic “The Nature of Information” a lot more interesting dynes took a stab at saying something different, see the amazing program, looks like a rave where every dancer has a stage 🕺🏽💃🏽🪭 IEEE - International Conference on Blockchain Perhaps we are lucky there is a new hype cycle in tech. Now folks at IEEE are quite serious when it comes to technology and they are soon holding an International Conference on Blockchain, which has less marketing than the usual hype. Blockchain-2024 | 2024 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain 2024 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain Don't let yourself be fooled by the old-school website, this is some serious stuff, and if you're into Blockchain and Cryptography, it won't disappoint.

So many news to report! Some of which are already old. But did they hit your radar? Like Switzerland going all in on FOSS and fondue? Well, not that many Swiss heard about the former either.

The gloat resulting from a failing a corporate overlord. It's quite something. Perhaps this what they mean when they talk about "bitter sweet"? You hardly missed out on the epic fail of that micro-thingie 🤏🏽, cough poetically cough called "Crowdstrike" 😹🍭. Imagine a crowd on strike. Well, it is sort of what happened. But not that kind of way. It was pretty bad actually. Especially for small businesses that saw their entire Friday revenue go down the drain, people losing airplanes or even worst being stuck at a hospital check-in. For others it was more like a Friday should be: relaxed with not too much to do. Regardless how you look at it, this event is not just a bug in a system that was supposed to protect us from bugs, but it underlines a systemic issue and it should be taken as a wake-up call: Worldwide outage 2024 — early reflections on the Crowdstrike BSOD Solutions to this mess cannot be patches.

Behold fellow dyne! Solstice is upon us! Dynes across the northern galaxy rejoice as darkness returns with a license to geek granted by the murky seasons. Ok, to be fair, light is nice. It's a balance. Complementary. Enjoy the crescendo, southern galaxy! 🕶️ Nice weather, sibling! Radiant blue sky, a fresh breeze. Beautiful bodies moving in the street, smiling. A dream for many dynes in the northern hemisphere, living in places with droughts, floods and landslides. But the hopes shine ever radiant in the heart of the planet; action is taking place. Some dynes are even conspiring to set a better pace to the climate transition. It's over due, but not too late. In this episode, PACESETTERS held a first information day for dynes from the entire galaxy to attend. PACESETTERS acknowledge that Art saves and Culture feeds! Creatives from all casts, working to better the conditions of the near future, succeeding or failing, are invited to take a survey. This with the goal to gather data on what strategies work. Or not.

Songs about the growing influence of ©orporations over the delicate fabric of democracy. It is observable on planet Earth as a whole. All the bases are belong to them now, and almost everyone tossed the ToS in the loo. One dyne creates a textual punch to all of that and gets published by Friends Of Europe. Planet dyne is a friend of planet Earth. Unconditionally. But it's hard to see where the relationship with planet ©orporation is going. It seems rather toxic in it's one-way dynamic. Seeing how much influence lobbyists have on parliamentary politics. After all, lobbies aren't restricted by borders as Nation states' legislation is. But only people can save the universe! That includes you, fellow dyne! Do the right thing and please share this article to your extended network if it resonates with you. A must read either way.

The video has overtones of nostalgia. Do you remember the time when dynes would go to a meetup with a running nose? Say whatever about the pandemic, but it did make us wash our hands again and care about each other. No offense, Amir. The dyne writing this wasn't any better 💜 just contemplating the progress.

The galaxy is crazy. Then again, so is a dyne. A little bit anyways. Sometimes perceived as contrarian, but always constructive in the ambition. In the shadows of the galactic madness, this episode of Planet Dyne explores sources of hope, conspires to obtain the right to repair our devices, fights for the privacy of all, mock the corporate overlords and while it joins hand in community, it definitely doesn't sing "kumbaya". Buckle up, it's been an eventful couple of weeks. ✊ Tools for Resistance Workshop #3 Hope is scarce goods in these gloomy times. Baltan laboratories are changing that by developing a culture of hope and attempting to unpack, redefine and ultimately foster a healthier relationship with the technologies surrounding us. In that context, they've invited dynebolic to throw a party hold a workshop on the 13th of June in Eindhoven. 0:00 0:10 1× On 13th of June 2024, dynes are invited to bring an (old) Windows laptop, USB stick (2GB or more), an ethernet cable (optional) to get a test of digital creative freedom! More information and link to RSVP bellow: Open-source Alternatives for Multimedia Production | Workshop by Denis “Jaromil” Roio Tools for Resistance Workshop #3 Baltan Laboratories 🛠️ The power to repair Kind of like it is with being happy, being able to fix something in the era of high-tech and nanotechnology is a revolutionary act! Dynes everywhere are worried that the rest of the universe don’t even have the power to turn some of their devices off anymore. The ignition button is eluding; extracting the batteries requires tools, craftsmanship and experience. In this pervasive digital dimension, the power to repair needs to be an inalienable right: every dyne in the galaxy should be able to observe, study, modify and distribute modifications. It is key to a sustainable life-cycle of devices. "Europe, let's reuse, refurbish, repair" - https://repair.eu By repairing tech, entropy turns into a resource, circulating the economy. Planet Consumerists' thirst for new high-tech gadgets is leading the solar-system to depletion of mineral resources, to slavery and wars. In such paradigm, repair-shops that recycle, restore and resell become like shrines, granting us the power over the machines. Let's support the dynes behind these shrines and the philosophy of free and open source software. On June 16th at 4 pm CEST, Iper Festival takes you on a date with ethical hacker: Denis "Jaromil" Roio, to explore means of taking back the power to repair. Iper – Festival delle periferie – 2024 - HIC SUNT LEONES. Dove abita l’immaginazione Iperfestival Roma ⏳ A new era Okay Goggole, what are you going to do when there's no more Internet to learn from? As a smol language model, the dyne manually typing out this post has no answer to that question. However, a multi-gazillion dollares webshit, that made its name by providing high quality indexes mixed with ads on dynes' queries, has decided that the very same Internet that taught the AI everything it knows is now secondary. Instead, by default it will let a parrot respond to the queries with trivia. This has some pretty deep ramifications. If there's no incentive to write cool stuff on the Interwebz, where is the robot going to get new stuff to learn from? One plausible theory is it will get it from the DMs you send to your loved ones. At the time of writing this, AI is being shipped in toasters and diapers world wide. There seems to be no end to the frenzy. The parrot is getting good though, that's for sure. But at what cost? Google Search adds a “web” filter, because it is no longer focused on web results Google Search now has an option to search the “web,” which is not the default anymore. Ars TechnicaRon Amadeo 🔻 Web3privacy Summit Remember last year in Rome when a dyne rocked the stage at the Web3privacy summit? Well it happened again! This time in the mythical venue of Paralelní Polis. It was a proper blast! Some dynes that witnessed it felt a little overwhelmed, being thrown back in the delicious times of punk and squats. A dyne like you addressing an audience at Paralelní Polis. Behind them a slide on the screen showing the infamous ASCII Internet café. No dyne craves dressing in suits and be presented by academic titles. In fact, to a dyne their names are not that important. They're just dynes like you. Two dynes like you on the stage holding mics looking happy. Behind them a slide on a screen showing the zenroom.org logo There is no prognosis on when the video of the talk will be released, but for the nostalgic, here's the one from last year: 🦾 Inclusive Avec A small dyne brings attention to some work of an Olivia King. She has designed a king typeface made for accessibility and legibility for all readers. There are many attempts at easing reading for dyslexics out there, and while they are functional, their looks aren't that terrible. This one here combines the best of both worlds and is entirely open source. Typography dynes rejoices and it echoes across the channels. Inclusive Sans — Olivia King A text typeface designed for accessibility and legibility for all readers. Olivia King0 💱 And now, a word from our sponsor 0:00 3:24 1× 💣 Forkbomb in the parliament In this episode, the Italian speaking dynes were blessed with a special video. One dyne made it into a parliament with a forkbomb. Of course, this bomb was friendly, albeit sharp. forkbomb (don't paste this in your terminal) The inhabitants of planet DeCifris invited the dyne to talk about the importance of sovereignty when it comes to security. The need to be able to hold firmly in hand tools that can be controlled and improved by the dynes wielding it. A must see! Link to YouTube video 🪴 Permacomputing There are many terms to describe sustainable computing. A fairly recent one is "Permacomputing". It's an idea that is mostly proposed by adorable dynes with beautiful beards and a certain nostalgic je-ne-sais-quoi in their eyes. While it might seem like plain nostalgia at first, because of the omnipresence of old tech, this movement is about preserving the environment by optimizing existing tech instead of producing new, resource craving stuff. Because there are huge environmental and societal issues in today's computing, permacomputing specifically wants to challenge them in the same way as permaculture has challenged industrial agriculture. With that said, permacomputing is an anti-capitalist political project. It is driven by several strands of anarchism, decolonialism, intersectional feminism, post-marxism, degrowth and ecologism. You can imagine the surprise that ensued in the channels when a dyne showed up with a link from Le Monde talking about it. « Permacomputing » : la discrète communauté qui défend des outils numériques libres, sobres et décroissants Et si le numérique était un espace de choix pour expérimenter autour de la notion de limites ? Chercheurs, chercheuses et activistes du monde de l’art, du design et du jeu vidéo tentent de réensauvager Internet grâce aux principes de la permaculture.

For dynes residing in the northern hemisphere, it is easy to forget that, when spring unfolds, the south finds itself in autumn. But seasons have no effect on the warmth of a dyne's heart. Roses come in many colors, ultraviolet this rave. Olive-oil is getting expensive & WiFi is microwave. Welcome to the greenhouse, fellow dyne! 📖 New book is out And it's on five-finger discount!

Well, dynes love meeting with other specimens, and if it's in a nerdy set-up it's all bonus! The city of Bologna in Italy, is not at all famous for it's pasta sauce, but totally renown for it's academic history, it's bike-friendly peaceful traffic, bellissimi creatures and incredible camaraderie. It hosts one of the most human tech-conference ever; Reclaim The Tech. This year it is taking place from 17th to 19th May. Graffiti mural from the venue of Reclaim The Tech (TPO - https://municipiozero.it/) showing a pair of giant boots and hands stepping on a city like a Godzilla, only to plant a sprout in a hole that the giant just dug upp. This is a community organized event that unites fire-souls from the entire universe, to converse, plot and conspire around tools, techniques and narratives to put the control of tech back in the hands of the People. While it is a good idea to learn Italian before you go, it is not a requirement. The species attending have a generous relationship to knowledge and information. And there is no length that will be avoided to get the camaraderie through. Also, if there is one planet you can navigate socially with hand gestures, Italy is the one! 🤌 Festival 2024 - Programma Officina di saperi e pratiche per la giustizia digitale, sociale, di genere e climatica. Reclaim The Tech Reclaim The Tech is a community on the move, fighting for digital justice. In a world marked by conflicts and transformations, we seek a space for hybridization and reappropriation of technologies, open to alliances with the fight for social-, gender- and climate-justice. In 2023 Reclaim The Tech was a bet, today it is a collective reality based on the participation and sharing of ideas, projects and alternative technologies. Here is the program of the second edition of Reclaim The Tech Festival, from 17 to 19 May 2024 in Bologna. 📨 A telegram from Mrs. Dyne Telegram.

But generally, not much happens so the milk stays fresh. However, fellow dyne, our struggle is not a matter of hours, days, months or years. It's the story of our lifetime.

Inside the dyne's mailbox a little seed. Planted and watered, it might just grow another edition of Planet Dyne. Scrolling an infinite, attention-grabbing, omnipresent feed of information from the tip of the finger, it can feel as if the world is dissonant. Well, good dyne, it is. But what is dissonant to one dyne, can be beautiful harmony to another. The celestial bodies don't care about scales, nor do they bother with whatever color smol beings project upon them. And while the corporate webshit machines are hard working at amplifying the undertones of our differences, dynes from everywhere are here to remind you that we are the world, fellow dyne! 💫 Future is Rural If you are new to this newsletter: Welcome, fellow dyne! If you've been around a minute, you probably read about PACESETTERS in the previous episode. One of PACESETTERS' real-world laboratories is the city of Genalguacil. This smol town in the south of Spain has been living in the spirit of The New European Bauhaus for 30 years now. Resilient and determined to push-back against depopulation, from the 14th to the 21st of April 2024, Genalguacil hosts the only rural satellite event of the NEB events in Spain. This satellite is a site of co-production combining film-making, with food-making - as ways to renew our connections with heritage, nature - through arts, and culture. It aims at challenging people’s stereotypes of what being rural really means, and reframing innovation from where it is the least expected… The future is rural! LAB Genalguacil. From today, The Future is Rural Rural Innovation Laboratory Parts of the event will be streamed on DyneTV on April 20th, for your viewing pleasure.

Dynes can love each other, but dynes can also love robots and webshits. One instance of the latter phenomenon recently turned into a big drama. Imagine a poly-amorous relationship between a bazillion of dynes and one webshit. It was cosy at first, but after a while the webshit started doing all kinds of crazy crap you'd expect from a toxic partner. This in turn forced the bazillion of dynes to reluctantly break up with the webshit. It was sad. Beautiful graphs of beautiful dynes were shattered and tremendous damage was caused to grassroots organization. But it was also a new beginning: many dynes turned to the decentralized social networks. With wounds still bleeding but new experience and hindsight, some dynes realized that it doesn't make sense to try and emulate what was. The relationship should begin on a healthy basis.

Most of this VR frenzie still feels like it did in the 90s to the derpy ol' dyne writing this newsletter. But there's delight in knowing that the space isn't entirely crowded by white-collar execs with big plans of value extractions. This thing is actually quite fun.

All partners share the confidence needed not just to adapt to, but to drive the transition into more just and sustainable economies. These dynes came together in the conviction that innovation mainly happens where it is least expected — for example, in cultural institutions that are well-anchored locally even if they aren’t globally branded. Genalguacil’s public museum foundation, Galway’s art festival, and Nowa Huta’s cultural centre C.K.

While the galaxy known as the Internet is busy figuring out what the next social pole will be, Planet Dyne is continuing on it's course towards sovereignty and togetherstanding. 🦶🏽 The battle of the giants, part 78 If you haven't heard about the epidemic of enshittificaiton by now, welcome to the Planet, fellow dyne! Hopefully, the time spent under the rock was cosy and full of creativity and hacking. There's no shame in locking oneself out of the incessant hype-buzz of the myriad of things happening everywhere, all the time, all at once. Here's the gist of the current spike in noise-to-signal ratio: corporate social networks are going down the drain. A person gives a note to a robot saying: "Please share this with my friends". The robot has a label that says: "social media algorithm" on it's metal body. The robot looks at the note and says: "I will show this to... No one!". The person answers: "But" and the robot pulls out a gun and says: "Pay me" It's like a breached ant-nest out there, where most native internauts are moving around, jiggling and shouting to try and settle what they believed was their followers, in a new corner of the web. Preferably one that Just Works®. All this is happening while the grassroots are playing a tune on the world's smallest open source violin. Hands playing on a very tiny violin But how to pivot that following? Where to take it? How to channel what was, into something to be? The situation has highlighted many concerns, particularly among small business waking up to the realization that their entire customer-base never belonged to them. Let alone influencers. Where they ever entrepreneurs or mere isolated employees of a network brand? What is certain is that, suddenly, they are in need of reinventing their entire brand to fit the changing tones of the crumbling behemoths and adapt to the new formats on the speculative successors. And there's no shortage of contenders. Some are brand new, others are the same old same old, and some are old but kinda fresh. cats: all your base are belong to us. Belonging in the 21st Century Dynes are social beings. While technology, arts and hacktivism are the forces that unite dynes, everything dynes do has always been about community. In times where the Internet is omnipresent, it is easy to forget that inter-personal networks go far beyond the digital. Dynes move fast, but they don't fear taking a well deserved aperitif with their fellows to recenter the focus on the path ahead and contemplate the journey it took to get where they are. This has led the Planet Dyne to have portals open on most of the known platforms, but be attached to none of them. (Except of course IRC). Because nurturing authentic connections is a platform agnostic activity. A commercial showing two persons holding hands looking at each other smiling. The picture is captioned "Nurture authentic connections". The second panel is close up of the two persons' hands which look absurdly deformed, revealing that the image is generated by AI. But platforms have their role. They frame the Wildest Webs of the World into user experiences that are easier to grasp than it is to understand the nature of a protocol. They allow for sending "😘" to Grand'ma without her having to get a degree in computer engineering. They are platforms within the greater Internet-Platform. They take care of the complexity, so you don't have to. And the current situation is the price of that service. Because the reality is that knowledge is power. Education and Organization While it is profitable to gate-keep knowledge through convenience, it is still possible to gain knowledge. And by gaining knowledge, a dyne becomes independent from webshits. Communing with fellow dynes and venturing outside the paradigm of doom-scrolling is one way to accrue emancipating experiences. It's a smol step for a dyne but takes the courage and effort to ask a hard question: "What is it I want to do?" The Internet may be facing an identity crisis, but the events that have lead up to it are well documented and mainly boil down to decisions made by people who's names and address can be found. These decisions can be undone. And if life together is to function in a digital society, dynes from all azimuths need to get involved in this process to bring back diversity, collaboration and constructive competition in a nearly monolithic realm built on a colonialist tradition. Effectively, work needs to be done on changing the broken regulations that have already been adopted and engagement with upcoming regulations need to happen. EU countries give crucial nod to first-of-a-kind Artificial Intelligence law The ambassadors of the 27 countries of the European Union unanimously adopted the world’s first comprehensive rulebook for Artificial Intelligence, rubber-stamping the political agreement that was reached in December. EURACTIVLuca Bertuzzi Together, everything that is impossible alone comes into reach. And Planet Dyne has channels for you where you can conspire how you want the future to look. It doesn't matter which platform you use, dynes will be waiting for you there with a helping hand to guide you into the warmth of decentralized community. Come conspire ▶️ Dyne:bolic IV After a long period of inactivity, the legendary live bootable GNU+Linux distribution called Dyne:bolic is making a come back with version 4 (IV). This time based on Devuan (Debian fork without systemd). True to it's roots (and the reggae), it promises a 100% free operative system, as defined by the FSF. For culture and information to circulate freely and unbiased, media activists, artists and creatives need to be independent from corporate alienation. Dynebolic is an Operating System and a practical tool for multimedia production: it enables the manipulation and broadcasting of audio, video and graphics, with tools to record, edit, encode, stream, and publish. Dyne:bolic automatically recognizes most device and peripherals: audio, video, TV, network cards, firewire, usb and more; all using only free software! A dyne spotted in Bangalore while hanging on a tree branch with his recycled old laptop. The aim is to make an OS that can run on as many computers as possible, old and new, including as a single executable inside other OS:es! The development takes place in a Git repository on the free platform Gitea at https://git.devuan.org/jaromil/dynebolic and the team welcomes contributions, feedback, documentation, testers, lurkers and happy dynes.

Planet Dyne is back in your super calculator, exploring the memory of the Internet, including the blank spaces. From the Gopher to the Cypher and everything in between. 🖖🏾 Greetings fellow dyne! At the time of writing this epsiode, the (known) Internet consists of about 25 Million Petabytes, growing at approximately 70 Terrabytes per second! Yet, it's memory isn't very long. Sometimes there's friction between a dyne's memory and that of the Internet: every dyne above 30 remembers MySpace Tom, but the very website that got him befriended with half of the webz doesn't remember his profile pic. In 2003 it was estimated that the average lifespan of a website is surprisingly short: 100 days! More recent studies conducted by people with stake in the game of selling websites claim it is longer. Still appallingly short considering how much of everything that happened between 2010 and 2024 is relying on this memory. Thankfully, the Neighboring Galaxy known as The Internet Archive is doing an excellent job at trying to save some of this history. Yet, the Internet expands. One can't help but wonder where all the thumb-drives are stored? Large Data center on the moon And this growth is not going to stop anytime soon. In fact, large corporations are working relentlessly at building the ultimate grey-goo generators to fill up the interwebz with all the none-sense we've come to expect. Huge Proportion of Internet Is AI-Generated Slime, Researchers Find A recent study by Amazon AI researchers found that a “shocking amount of the web” comprises poor-quality AI-generated and translated content.

The grassroots keep growing. In terms of experience, maturity, resilience... Soon they will be strong and deeply settled roots. Baobab roots! In this episode Planet Dyne got a cosmic ping from one of the largest Baobabs growing on Planet Mocambos: Baobàxia.net. Baobáxia On a mission to merge Internet with Sneakernet, residents of Mocambos are building beautiful networking-tools for communities that exist far off the grid by choice or by fate. A heartwarming revitalization of communication between the two planets begins. Rejoicing music could be heard from the hack-labs of every Zenroom fan out there.

Ah, the comfort of childhood! The glory of the teenage! Getting robbed for bubblegum. Or; the sweet existential doubts and candy-crushing dread of seeking out the courage to walk up to a crush. Every time has it's time. And then it is gone. The appreciation of the past is most likely subjective. But there are good reasons to study the evolution of the complexity of human existence. From the the point of view of the individual human to that of the collective humanity. Knowledge is power, and in this episode the Planet got exposed to some pretty enriching perspectives that can be applied to a wide range of systems. Complexity Rising: From Human Beings to Human Civilization, a Complexity Profile — New England Complex Systems Institute Since time immemorial humans have complained that life is becoming more complex, but it is only now that we have a hope to analyze formally and verify this lament. New England Complex Systems Institute 🧎 Aftermath of chaos The CCC is such a rich experience. There's a litteral ton of interesting things that comes out of it. (And bare in mind that digital matter doesn't weigh very much) Looong after the event is over, many dynes are busy catching up with all the incredible presentations. One dyne shares an interesting talk about work, productivity and management in the digital era. From Managerial Feudalism to the Revolt of the Caring Classes One apparent paradox of the digitisation of work is that while productivity in manufacturing is skyrocketing, productivity in caring prof… media.ccc.de 🫠 NSFW, you've been warned. No comments on this one. Just some rarely seen cybernetic sexiness. Viewer discretion advised. 🎓 The European union of humans Amalgamations bring a lot of good mixes but can be challenging. Especially when it comes to cultures and customs. This is something that is fairly easy to manage on Planet Dyne, where every dyne is very clear about what constitutes "home". But for much bigger and heavier Planets like Europe, it poses many challenges. Thankfully, the planet is being proactive about it, with cool initiatives that showcase that residents of Planet Europe are better equipped to face today’s challenges through collaboration. The European Young Leaders represent an alternative infrastructure of leadership – a new generation of leaders able to inspire action and generate change. Together, their passion, diversity of backgrounds and opinions, and innovative thinking create the right formula for generating fresh ideas to build a more forward-thinking Europe. This year’s EYL class includes a winemaker, an Olympic swimmer, a glaciologist, politicians from all levels of government and national parliaments, green tech entrepreneurs, an award-winning Roma actress, unicorn and start-ups founders, CEOs, award-winning journalists, and artists that have established themselves at the highest levels in their fields.

In the midst of recapitulation season, a fresh issue of Planet Dyne is landing in your super calculator. Take a look at the future in four dimensions, leaning on the past and enjoying the moment. There's a fine line between reminiscence and nostalgia. Both are useful, learning from the past is paramount to navigate the present and build a future. But the future never rests. This edutainment post is a mixture of all times known to the world wild web, hand-written by a human dyne, for fellow dynes like you. It will not list the 10 worst pizzas of 2023, nor will it give you a hint on the unbelievable things that happened next. But hopefully, it will make you want to subscribe!

Wasting approximately -0.1 time, they've implemented a DID for credential issuers, containing multiple public keys including the zero knowledge proof BBS and Coconut, as well as a P-256 public key compatible with the EUDI-ARF standard. For the JSON hungry, here's an example fresh out the DID Explorer: DID:Explorer by Dyne.org Explore, search and retrieve Dyne.org Distributed Identifiers, based on W3C standard. DID:Explorer by Dyne.org If you just embarked on this journey, DID means "Decentralized Identifer". It is a dear topic on Planet Dyne. Because it's applications can have a very deep impact in society. If objects, organizations and possibly even dynes are to be identified by hashes, it better be done in sovereign ways that respect dynes' integrity and privacy. Planet Dyne is very lucky, some of the most knowledgeable minds in the field live here. Come say hi sometime, fellow dyne! Either way, the future of the project is looking bright: there's even a standard on planet W3C. W3C DID Federated Service 🚲 Does time ride a bike? Popular culture would have it fly, but do we know for sure? Most likely there's an online community that does. But how to find it? As it looks today, many of the answers to that question would point to some centralized data-harvesting silo. Take for example the contemporary scene for cryptocurrency: a large portion of its documentation teed-bits and clarifications is hidden in some super interesting convo in a meme-battered Discord channel. Chances are that this Discord is the documented project's official one, but it could also be created by aficionados looking for some clam. Nobody can tell for sure, because Discord won't let you join all guilds in existence. The good practice of websearch-fu is helpless here. The walls of the goodest guilds are impenetrable to the search engines' crawlers! Heck, it's getting harder and harder to even enter those guilds as a human: the more popular they are, the harder the anti-spam guards. Proving humanity has become close to inhumanly difficult. And if you succeed, good luck with the local lingo! Ah, Tribalism... Now that is a promise that the Internet delivered on! The web was once decentralized and beautiful, until a couple of rich kids turned it into an interactive TV. Or at least so it can seem to the untrained navigator of the Interwebz. The decentralized web still exists, more beautiful and mature than ever. And it's at reach! You just have to put on your infinity pants and get out there on your quest. One good place to begin is Redecentralize.org Redecentralize.org 🌱 Large Lentils Mortar LLMs are all the rage and fuzz. Massive amounts of time and energy is consumed to fear them, revere them, build them, run them and implement them. In everything, preferably. There is seemingly no problem that this solution can't claim to be it's own. Dynes pride themselves in talking to each other without intermediaries and engage in comradery still estranged to robots. But the fascination is strong on this planet too: Who wouldn't want a personal all knowing daemon to crunch the basic daily maths? Maybe we'll get there. One way to get there is to acknowledge that technology is always political. This is an effective way to protect the fringes that bias may overlook. It also happens to be a technique applicable to anything tech. Not just warmongering rapping parrots. One good dyne shares good lecture on LLMs, fairly fresh one at that. As an added bonus, it promises not to be a retrospective on LLMs. Despite it being clear that 2023 was a special year for artificial intelligence.

And some residents of a far off galaxy have crunched the numbers for you in this delicious Salad Theory. Salad Theory Salad Theory saladtheory.github.io 🧠 Brain on my head It's alive! Aliiiiive! The data output and input of dynes is very small compared to a robot. Sure, a dyne can listen and read real fast, sometimes in many languages! But that's nothing compared to the amounts of MP3s and books a powerful robot could listen to in one second! This is worrisome for some scientists. So they are trying to raise the hopes and mitigate these worries by hard-wiring brains to the computer. Wigsplitaz - Represent The Dead by Samling-Recordings Naturally, this assumes consciousness is a brain thing which, yeah! Makes sense... the eyeballs are there... and when the voices inside the head of an annoying dyne are disturbing, they can give very real headache! Also, data suggests that it is possible to translate brain activity into their corresponding thought! The potential is endless: picture yourself pushing some fresh hack to the repo and being able to read the mind of the critics pressing the blame button! No more fake-ass code-reviews! Just raw unfiltered human brain-farts. Imagine the purity of the comment fields! I am not finished yet to start my career at twenty without having gotten my license I never have to pull out and run back to my parents to take me home.

Undark MagazineFletcher Reveley What could go wrong? Well the good news is that there is already a distinction between "invasive" and "non-invasive" methods. And one of the players in camp "non-invasive" took the leap to go open source in 2024!

It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new life for dynes, yeah! Dynes in space, you know how it feels. River running free, you know how it feels. Blossom on the tree, you know how it feels. Nina Simone - Felling Good (Sanvtto Remix) by Sanvtto What could be a better argument than a planet completing a cycle around a star, from an arbitrary position to another arbitrary position to further push the sovereignty of Planet Dyne? There are in fact many: 2023 being a shit year for users of corporate networks is one example. But hey, this is awesome because it means it's been a mad good year for self-hosted, grass-roots driven data. By the people, for the people! Why bother with someone else's webshit when one can run their own? The attentive dyne might remember Episode 38 of Season 2023, where a cool system for a sovereign mix of Patreon and Substack was mentioned, and dynes were encouraged to check it out. Well, as usual, Planet Dyne put their mouth where the fork is and practiced what it preaches. In fact you are looking at it now. This, fellow dyne, is the latest addition to the planet's propaganda apparatus: a self-hosted Ghost! Whatever brought you here, first and foremost: Greetings, fellow dyne!

Sounds of Peace by Sound of Peace 👼🏿 The corporate benevolence A recurrent theme in the plot of Planet Dyne is the bizniz going on in the world of corporate networks. In this episode many dynes went to 37C3 to share and absorb propaganda of the tasty sort. It's some sort of anarchist plot via MostlyHarmless Thanks to Boris Larin, Leonid Bezvershenko, Georgy Kucherin, Igor Kuznetsov, Valentin Pashkov, and Mikhail Vinogradov, we got to see the loooooooooooong attack chain of a 0-click iMessage attack, which used four zero-days and was designed to work on iOS versions up to 16.2.

Or easier yet, install Devuan from the get go. That way, systemd isn't even a problem to begin with! Some good dynes have managed to leverage the Devuan-PI Daedalus build from http://arm-files.devuan.org to run a Pi-Hole. Doing that, the difference with Raspbian and other ARM distros bugged by systemd becomes evident. Here some images showing how they managed to run the Pi Hole v6-beta in less than 70MiB of RAM and below 50 °C temp on a RPi3-modelB htop screenshot showing the low resources in use. Pi-hole status showing a temp of 46.2 °C degrees, CPU at 0.7% and memory usage at 7.6% 😿 Sad news for the galaxy John Pilger, Australian journalist, filmmaker and activist has passed away.

One dyne brings the news of a super cool map showing the cables of the hyper highway of information. It's sexy, informative, and beautifully done. Basically, it is the map of all the known submarine cable in 2023. This new edition depicts 529 cable systems and 1,444 landings that are currently active or under construction. 🤞 New year's resolution still 1024x768 Same resolution as always: 1024x768 Promises can be beautiful, but they can also be burdening. Many dynes have a habit to put their hands to the dough everyday, but it doesn't stop one from making a resolution for the new year. Sort of a Tantra... ehrm... a MANTRA!... to try and improve existence during another spin around the star at the center of their system. Hands to the dough, via ajaneu The redaction of this newsletter encourages daily introspection of smol habits over trying to push a 7 metric ton of clumped bad habits.

Once again inside your inbox, a tiny spark of contrast has landed. Planet Dyne is back to bring you the gratest, and the latest from the Internet Galaxy. While the giants of internet are taking jabs among themselves, grasping for the others' slice of the Interactive Television they built on top of the Internet, the smol web is blossoming. Dynes of all walks of life, shape and color are organizing in various forms to deliver the initial promises of internet: diversity, better communication, less middle-hands. Where the corporations are destroying their interoperability, musicians are repurposing RSS, Vloggers are appropriating the channels for their patrons, writers are self-hosting their blogs, communities are gathering in their own corner of the galaxy. Unless you just landed on this planet, it is no mystery that it has always been a proponent of the sovereign ways.

Would be neat to see you there, fellow dyne! 🎷 Ardour 8.2 is out Lately, many dynes have expressed that reality feels like this: But it doesn't have to be this way. A dyne can define where it stands in the multiverse. Even in captivity, the mind of a dyne roams free in the realm of dreams. Reality has many natures. All of which are hard to fully comprehend. But while a dyne is free, a good way to practice dreaming and sharpen imagination is to create music. Music can radically alter a mood, and rally dynes from all calls. Something extremely important in this day and age. Some great dyne-like creatures from a neighboring planet are working on a super powerful Digital Audio Workstation called "Ardour". They have just released the latest version of their software. The raves and the bonfires are epic! That’s it for this edition of Previously on Planet Dyne, a little shorted than usual...
