Oh, hey, #IANA assigned a new block of ASNs to #AFRINIC. A good sign that the #Internet #connectivity in #Africa is growing! Keep up the good work! Details here....

As I've said before, it's hard not to read this mass surveillance/censorship bullshit as our deeply reactionary governments getting the faintest whiff that an unchecked internet severely interferes with their ability to propagandize and decided the internet had to die.
The UK and US in particular are absolutely speed-running this bullshit (with the EU, Australia, and South America not too far behind).

The global software ecosystem is now fundamentally dependent on a complex, corporate-backed open-source infrastructure that balances innovation with profound strategic tensions.
*Unpopular opinions:* :comfy_blob_cat:
The #Internet needs a "Great Reboot", IMHO, where:
- #Mastodon is the new IRC, X, Threads, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and Facebook
- #Deltachat is the new email and two-way email mailing list
- #RSS is the new one-way email mailing list
- static content generators (say, #Hugo, #Jekyll, etc) are the new web CMS'. No CDN, as they're so lightweight.
- #XMPP is the new #Discord - and no encryption is used in groups
- #Flarum is the new goto for a persisting, searchable support forum
- #Signal is for encrypted 1-to-1 chats and encrypted group chats (when none of the above suffice), as they get the encryption right in a very reliable way *for the group chat* (despite being a centralized service).
Steile These: Die Geschäftsidee von Online-Brillen-Shops, Menschen, die bereits eine Brille bestellt haben, nochmal anzuschreiben und ihnen für über 50 EUR zusätzlich ein Upgrade für noch dünnere noch geilere Verglasung anzubieten, führt eher zu Stornos als zu Zusatzverkäufen.

Emmerich Newspapers wants the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to scrap the Server Test, something that's been legal precedent for almost two decades.
Emmerich Newspapers also argues that altering a URL, via something like a link shortener, should constitute copyright infringement under the DMCA ("Prohibition on changing or deleting copyright management information").
In short, they want to make link embedding and link shortening essentially illegal (or least very legally gray). Copyright maximalists are batshit insane.

US #MAGAt attacks on #Iran have left millions in neighboring #Iraq in 24 hr blackouts without even intermittent imported Iranian #power deliveries for several days.
Orders to simply #evacuate by US embassy to #Americans living in Iraq were issued long after communications platforms were already #destabilized and crisis well underway. With all airports & shipping lanes closed, and no #electricity or #internet since the US strikes began, many ex-pats have taken refuge in embassies.
Iraq has struggled to provide its citizens with #energy since the destruction of 2003 U.S. #invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. In the ensuing #turmoil, poor investment opps, #graft and mismanagement by authorities have left the national #grid in Iraq unable to cope with demand for decades
