Debian is the latest in an ever-growing list of projects to wrestle (again) with the question of LLM-generated contributions; the latest debate stared in mid-February, after Lucas Nussbaum opened a discussion with a draft general resolution (GR) on whether Debian should accept AI-assisted contributions. It seems to have, mostly, subsided without a GR being put forward or any decisions being made, but the conversation was illuminating nonetheless.

Nussbaum said that Debian probably needed to have a discussion "to understand where we stand regarding AI-assisted contributions to Debian" based on some recent discussions, though it was not clear what discussions he was referring to. Whatever the spark was, Nussbaum put forward the draft GR to clarify Debian's stance on allowing AI-assisted contributions. He said that he would wait a couple of days to collect feedback before formally submitting the GR.

His proposal would allow "AI-assisted contributions (partially or fully generated by an LLM)" if a number of conditions were met. For example, it would require explicit disclosure if "a significant portion of the contribution is taken from a tool without manual modification", and labeling of such contributions with "a clear disclaimer or a machine-readable tag like '[AI-Generated]'." It also spells out that contributors should "fully understand" their submissions and would be accountable for the contributions, "including vouching for the technical merit, security, license compliance, and utility of their submissions". The GR would also prohibit using generative-AI tools with non-public or sensitive project information, including private mailing lists or embargoed security reports.

I've been almost-ready to ditch Windows for years. Now's the time.

My new neighbor is an old-school nerd. He hosts install parties at our local leftist third space.
He's going to help me switch to... not sure yet. Probably Mint. I can't wait. It feels as good as never giving a cent to Amazon, Uber, and streaming services.

Yay.

Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in synthetic DNA. The idea is simple but powerful—DNA is one of the most compact, durable information systems on Earth.

But one issue has held the field back. Once data is written into DNA, it can’t be changed.

Now, researchers at the University of Missouri are helping solve that problem by transforming DNA from a one-time medium into a rewritable digital hard drive.

“DNA is incredible—it stores life’s blueprint in a tiny, stable package,” Li-Qun “Andrew” Gu, a professor of chemical and biomedical engineering at Mizzou’s College of Engineering, says.

“We wanted to see if we could store and rewrite information at the molecular level faster, simpler, and more efficiently than ever before.”

Illinois-based musician Anthony Martino is suing the Internet Archive for copyright infringement over its Myspace Dragon Hoard collection. This 490,000 MP3 collection was created from recordings that were lost in Myspace's 2019 server disaster. According to Martino, his music ended up in the collection without his authorization. Meanwhile, the Internet Archive denies wrongdoing and says it is protected by the DMCA safe harbor.

Co-founders of Moltbook, a platform for artificial intelligence agents, will join tech giant’s AI research unit Facebook parent Meta Platforms said on Tuesday it had acquired Moltbook, a social networking platform built for artificial intelligence agents, bringing the company’s founders into its AI research division. The deal will bring Moltbook co-founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr into Meta Superintelligence Labs, the unit led by Alexandr Wang, former Scale AI CEO, which Meta purchased for $14.8bn. Meta did not disclose financial terms of the deal. Schlicht and Parr are expected to begin at Meta Superintelligence Labs on 16 March.

Hey!

I basically want to replace the Google Authenticator app in style and functionality:

1. List all TOTP tokens and their validity time (with a name and order I decide).
2. Allow me to periodically or on change back up the whole thing to some off-site storage, keeping the last N backups.
3. Have a native app for Android or an actually good PWA.
4. Don’t do magic bullshit like fetching icons, hide tokens, etc.
5. Be actually secure (i.e. don’t roll your own auth)
6. Just be a TOTP manager, and nothing more! No, I’m not interested in a password manager, thank you. I also don’t want any other OTP methods I don’t use.
7. Don’t be a one-man projects where the availability is not clear in >1 year.

Any experience is welcomed. Thank you!

This might be an odd setup, but I prefer Pangolin for the easy deployment of a combined Reverse Proxy and VPN but also wanted to play around with Netbird, which provides a mesh VPN.

So I have Pangolin installed on a VPS and connected to my home server which is running the Newt client.
Then I've installed Netbird on my home server using the Self-hosting Quickstart Guide. I choose "Other/Manual" when it came to selecting a Reverse Proxy and created the respective public resource in Pangolin for your subdomain. Just add multiple targets for multiple endpoints and enable Advanced Mode:

Just make sure to select h2c instead of http for /signalexchange.SignalExchange and /management.ManagementService. And obviously replace the 192.168.178.123 with your IP address.

Then start the docker-compose.yml and browse to your subdomain to register your initial account. Done!

Dungeons & Diagnoses — a fantasy therapy sim where your patients are cursed heroes, dark lords, and burned-out adventurers Hey everyone! I just released my first indie game and wanted to share it here. The premise: you're the kingdom's only psychotherapist. Patients arrive convinced they're cursed, haunted, or marked by fate. Your job is to listen carefully, spot contradictions, and figure out what's actually going on beneath all the fantasy drama. A guard paralyzed by fear calls it a curse. A rogue on a self-destructive spiral blames a hex. A hero who can't stop taking on impossible quests says it's prophecy. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. Gameplay:

Branching dialogue to gather symptoms A handbook system to compare diagnoses Drag-and-drop prescriptions Multiple outcomes — wrong diagnosis can ruin lives or unleash chaos

It blends dark humor with genuinely emotional storytelling in a cozy medieval setting. Made in Godot, free to download (name your own price), still in early development. 🌍 The game is available in 8 languages: English, Ukrainian, German, French, Portuguese, Czech, Simplified Chinese, and Russian — so hopefully most of you can play it in your native language. ⚠️ Transparency note: the game's visuals are currently AI-generated. The text was written by me in my native language and translated with AI assistance. This is a solo early-access project and replacing the visuals with hand-drawn art is part of the long-term plan. Feedback is very welcome — especially on writing, pacing, and whether the diagnoses feel fair. 👉 https://sontayo.itch.io/dungeons-diagnoses

On t'a menti pendant 20 ans. On t'a forcé à inventer des mots de passe imbuvables avec des majuscules, des chiffres et des caractères spéciaux que tu oublies tout le temps. Résultat ? C’est une torture pour ton cerveau, mais un jeu d’enfant pour un hacker et ses algorithmes.

Dans cette vidéo, on déconstruit le mythe de la "complexité" pour parler de la seule chose qui compte vraiment : l'entropie.
