Learn useful things. Read old books. Know your history. Teach your children what is worth loving. Build friendships strong enough to survive disagreement and hardship. Become capable of producing something besides opinions. Create things worth inheriting.
This is the pilot phase, with 3,000 workstations moving away from Microsoft 365. The federal administration has over 54,000 computers. //
Switzerland's military cybersecurity unit, Cyber Command, is not waiting for the civilian pilot. It is already poised to replace Microsoft 365 entirely with openDesk by October 2026.
It is pretty much the same reason. Military doesn't want foreign governments accessing sensitive Swiss data. //
Back in 2024, the EMBAG Law came into effect. It requires all Swiss federal agencies to publish government-developed software as open source by default. The law also aims to promote digital sovereignty and encourage innovation and collaboration within the public sector.
Then in December 2025, the Federal Council designated digital sovereignty as a primary focus theme. It defines digital sovereignty as "the federal government being able to fulfil its essential mission without depending on an external supplier or country."
I keep a bootable USB drive, a one-stop solution for the most common system problems. These tools can analyze hardware, access and relocate data, check OS install issues, and solve other problems that can pop up out of the blue. Keeping this bootable drive has saved me many times, and if you don't have one, it's time to build one now.
ShredOS is a lightweight, bootable operating system designed specifically for securely erasing hard drives and SSDs. Unlike regular file deletion, which only removes references to files, ShredOS permanently wipes the data, making it completely unrecoverable. It’s a perfect solution for individuals, businesses, or IT professionals who need to dispose of old drives safely.
The open expression of religion is an American military tradition. George Washington prayed in the snow at Valley Forge. George Patton had prayer cards printed and distributed throughout the Third U.S. Army in 1944. We can't allow the fervently anti-religious to create a heckler's veto over religious liberty. Having a stand-up guy like Pete Hegseth get involved in this battle over a very basic freedom-of-expression issue shows me the Department of War is in good hands.
n this article, we’ll uncover an entire North Korean infiltration operation aimed at deploying remote IT workers across different companies in the American financial and crypto/Web3 sectors, with the objective of conducting corporate espionage and generating funding for the sanctioned regime. We attributed this effort to the state-sponsored APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) Lazarus, specifically the Famous Chollima division.
- Researchers created a fake DeFi startup and hired suspected Famous Chollima operatives, providing a rare inside view of a DPRK IT worker operation.
- The investigation followed the scheme beyond recruitment, showing how the operatives worked, collaborated, and accessed company resources after being hired.
- ANY.RUN sandbox environments provided a live view of the operatives’ behavior, exposing their evolving toolset, remote access workflow, AI usage, and supporting infrastructure.
- The findings show that DPRK IT worker schemes are not only a hiring risk. Once inside, operatives can gain legitimate access to code, systems, intellectual property, and trusted business processes.
Coming together to write code, save lives. Because better records support better healthcare.
The future of enterprise software is open-source
Proprietary ERPs are expensive, limiting, and rigid. Businesses are left with two choices, either spend through the roof on SAP, Oracle NetSuite, etc., or use multiple disconnected apps leading to manual work, poor visibility, and broken traceability. What if there is a better way?

They said it couldn’t be done
He said just let me try
They said others had tried and failed
He said oh but not I
They said it was impossible
He said there’s no such word
He closed his mind, he closed his heart
To everything he heard
He said within the heart of man there is a tiny seed
It grows until it blossoms
It’s called the will to succeed
Its roots are strength, its stem is hope
Its petals are inspiration
Its thorns protect strong green leaves
It’s called determination
There’s nothing in this universe beyond the scope of men
They said it couldn’t be done
Some even said they knew it
But when he faced what couldn’t be done
He couldn’t bloody do it.

The assumption of our time is that outcomes should be even if nobody interfered.
Sowell’s reply is geography itself is not even. The Zaire River has more water than the Mississippi and is far less useful because of waterfalls that isolate people.
The Mississippi drops four inches a mile. Those are different rivers. The world was never a level playing field. Treating every disparity as proof of blame turns causation into a morality play.
Before Menger, economists tortured themselves trying to explain why diamonds cost more than water when water keeps you alive. Menger dissolved the paradox in a sentence. Value is marginal and subjective. The tenth glass of water you drink today carries almost no value to you; the first glass you drink after three days without it carries everything. The object does not contain the value. You assign it, based on your circumstances, your preferences, your next most pressing want.
This wrecked the labor theory of value completely, clearing the ground for honest price analysis.
Prices, Menger showed, are not arbitrary signals or social constructs. They are compressed information about millions of individual valuations, each person acting on knowledge no central planner could ever collect. Bureaucrats in Brussels and Washington still haven't absorbed this. They control prices and watch shortages materialize on schedule, baffled every time. //
Handre, it's not that they haven't aborbed it. It's that they are owned by a financial network that rejects a key truth that Menger laid bare.
It's the old Upton Sinclair saying writ large: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
What Menger explained in Vienna in 1871, the Transnational Crime Syndicate of Big Club Oligarch Family Pirates has spent over 150 years trying to hide from the public.
They're still trying to protect BOTH systems they painstakingly constructed - and enforce - for the rest of us, but not for themselves.

Sheeppox is a highly contagious, often fatal viral disease that was largely eradicated from much of European livestock in the 20th century. But there is still the occasional regional outbreak, such as the one that afflicted many flocks of sheep in Greece last year. In order to reconstruct how the virus has evolved over the last 3,500 years, scientists extracted and sequenced sheeppox DNA preserved in the animal skins used for the parchment of numerous medieval manuscripts. They reported their findings in a new paper published in the journal Science Advances.

What we have not yet seen is an AI developing a substantial new conceptual framework in order to solve a mathematical problem. Much of mathematics proceeds by identifying the objects that are truly central to a question and then developing a theory that helps us understand them. Current AIs are very strong at searching and recombining existing ideas, but they are weak at building any deep and sustained new theory.
This speaks to a more general limitation of current AI systems. They are creative in the sense that they can recombine existing ideas in novel ways. But they are not creative in others: they have not yet developed conceptually new theories or structures. And while they have larger working memories than humans do, know more about more different things than any particular human does, and can process information faster than humans, can, true novelty is still largely beyond their reach.
Of course, that distinction may not survive for very long. Predictions are notoriously hard, especially about the future of AI. None of these mathematical capabilities were explicitly designed for, or planned. They’re all emergent properties of increasingly capable AI models. We are both confident that someday we will see AI models that are capable of the type of creativity required to do novel mathematics. Will that be in a few months, a few years or a few decades? Of course we don’t know, but our guess is sooner rather than later. //

Mathematics, like all human endeavors, is a cathedral built not only of logic but of spirit. The machines that now parade their counterexamples and clever recombinations are but mirrors reflecting the fragments of our own thought. They do not suffer the torment of doubt, nor do they rejoice in the sudden illumination that turns the darkness of ignorance into the dawn of understanding.
A mind that has never trembled before the mystery of existence cannot truly create. These artificial intellects move as blind giants, lifting stones without knowing they are in a temple. They may uncover truths, but they cannot love them. They may solve problems, but they cannot feel the sacred weight of the question.
So no, the end of mathematics is not yet upon us. For mathematics is not merely the tallying of symbols, but the human cry toward infinity. While machines can echo our steps, only man can walk toward the Absolute with awe and trembling.
The 'zdb -d` will display information about the dataset.
# zdb -d pool | grep pool/data
Could not open pool/data/%recv, error 16
Dataset pool/data [ZPL], ID 291, cr_txg 112281839, 219K, 7 objectsIn this particular situation, we had an ongoing recv process which couldn’t read the data from network. Therefore, the zdb command might be a very useful and quick option to solve such situations.
One of the best aspects of ZFS is its reliability. This can be accomplished using a few features like copy-on-write approach and checksumming. Today we will look at how ZFS does checksumming and why it does it the proper way. //
We can see that using a merkle tree is a very safe way to store data on the disk, as it allows us to detect a lot of problems in the system. It is also worth noting that if ZFS is configured in the redundant way, it will detect broken data, return correct data (of course if possible) and also will repair them. This feature is called self-healing.
