Рекордное слияние «запрещенных» черных дыр

Гравитационные волны от слияния черных дыр регистрируются уже почти десять лет. Пожалуй, самый интересный результат заключается в том, что зарегистрировано много слияний массивных черных дыр, слишком массивных, чтобы их можно было объяснить эволюцией двойных звезд — подобных пар, из которых может получиться пара столь тяжелых черных дыр, попросту не существует в современной Вселенной. Более того, зарегистрировано два события, где сливающиеся черные дыры, согласно современным оценкам, вообще не могли образоваться из звезд ни в современной, ни даже в молодой Вселенной, когда рождались и взрывались звезды в сотни солнечных масс. Десятого июля 2025 года опубликован препринт коллаборации LIGO — Virgо — KAGRA, где докладывается о слиянии черных дыр, процентов на 70 превосходящих по суммарной массе предыдущий рекорд. Слияние зарегистрировано 23 ноября 2023 года, что отражено в идентификаторе всплеска GW231123.

🇺🇸 It's been exactly one year since we went live with our Reproducible Builds publicly. Almost exactly at their first anniversary, we passed the mark of 50% apps covered by them.

But more has happened since: we've improved on the RBs, published the framework. You've asked for Download Statistics? Today we make those public. And more – plus more to come. As usual, we announce what it's ready – no fabulous promises, just facts. So read the full update here:

nostr and atproto people are kinda conscious that they should aim for a, basically, decentralized layered super app

in the activitypub world I think it's still not clear that targetting that is a way to avoid letting the throne for ''western wechat'' to whatsapp, facebook or telegram

it would be nice for once if we anticipated a problem instead of reacting to it slowly; we also have an advantage over the fact that antitrust won't hit a decentralized and eventually distributed network

@mitra and @bonfire are doing great but they both need more people; plenty of links here also corvodsx.any.org/super-app corvodsx.any.org/super-app-wis…

do you any other fediverse project aligned with this vision of integrating into the protocol but having different layers?

Yet another critical article about Matrix...
shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/07/im-ne…

Is it just me or are we going through a huge wave of criticism towards this protocol right now?

I'm never going back to Matrix

shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/07/im-ne…

I should love Matrix. It is a decentralised, privacy preserving, multi-platform chat tool. Goodbye Slack and your ridiculous free limits. Adiós Discord and your weird gamification. Suck it IRC with your obscure syntax and faint stench of BO. WhatsApp and Telegram can stick their heads in a bucket of lukewarm sick and sing sea shanties! Let's join the future!

The problem is - Matrix is shit. Not just on a protocol level, but on an organisational level as well.

I joined Matrix at FOSDEM - the largest gathering of open source nerds in Europe. We were all encouraged to use it - every talk had its own channel, all the official comms came from there, I was even invited to a top-secret private channel for speaker. This was going to be epic! Viva la rèvölūçïón, right? Wrong.

It was dead. Even among the most seasoned geeks on the planet, most people preferred to use other services like Signal, Telegram, and Slack. Why? Because those other tools actually work.

Matrix has two official Android apps - one of which is old and unsupported, the other is new and doesn't work with many of the basic chat features.

I want to be absolutely clear about this - the company behind Matrix have put out an app which doesn't work with their own product! Lest you think I'm exaggerating, here's a typical view of the official FOSDEM speaker room, using the official Matrix app:

It was embarrassing. People would pipe up in channels and say "this doesn't work" only to be told they were using the wrong app and should go back to the one marked unsupported. So they left, never to return. Even in the large talks, where people were encouraged to use the official Matrix chat, most of the conversation happened on other platforms. It was just too hard to use Matrix.

A few thousands geeks, all used to recompiling their own kernels and participating in the Fediverse, and most thought that Matrix was too much of a faff.

After FOSDEM, I kept the Matrix app on my phone. Occasionally receiving a ping from some long-forgotten channel.

And then, one day, I got hit with the most vile spam. A dozen notifications suddenly appeared on my phone with abuse, torture, and transphobic slurs in them.

You can view the screenshot - but, fair warning, it is grim.

This shouldn't be possible. It doesn't take an expensive team of moderators to add some keyword monitoring. It doesn't take a massive AI model to work out that a stranger shouldn't be able to bombard users with multiple notifications. You don't have to sacrifice your dream of a decentralised future - you just need to care about your users.

This stuff is basic.

I moaned about it on Mastdon and was surprised to receive a private reply from the official Matrix account.

Please do not encourage the spammer by giving them a platform and propagating their spam; you may want to consider deleting your post.

This is classic victim blaming. It is my fault for giving the spammer attention. I am the one who needs to take responsibility and delete the evidence. I shouldn't warn people that Matrix is actively dangerous to use.

Bullshit.

Here's what I expected them to say:

"We're sorry you had such a bad experience on Matrix. Rest assured we're working hard to block these spammers - here's a link to show what we're doing. You can protect your account further by doing x, y and z. Once again, sorry and we hope we can win back your trust."

I'm not saying scrappy open source projects have to hire anodyne corporate communications specialists; they just need to have a little empathy.

But, no, just constant whining about how it isn't their fault and how I am the one who needs to change my behaviour.

This is pretty typical behaviour from the team. Find any post complaining about some aspect of Matrix and you'll see their instant woe-is-me replies.

So I deleted the app. I would have liked to have nuked my account but apparently that's not possible.

I'm not the only one who feels like this. Here's an epic post by Marius, which concludes:

Between the slow performance, the increasing amount of spam, the miserable web client, and the unfinished state of Element X, the Matrix.org network is not something I am willing to continue to recommend, especially to non-technical users. Normal people are simply tolerating it to communicate with idealistic nerds like myself who insist(ed) on using it.

Matrix just isn't focussed on users. I'm not talking about user-experience tweaks like which shade of cornflower blue to use - I mean basic user needs like apps that work and a way to combat spam.

There's a long list of ways the protocol contributes to a poor user experience. It almost seems designed without regard for how it will actually be used.

While the protocol may be conceptually interesting and their intentions noble, I'm not prepared to suffer abuse in the name of technical purity.

Open Source and Open Standards nerds like me ought to know by now that the protocol is the least compelling thing about a service. Who cares if your home is built using only Stallman-blessed tools, when the walls are full of rats?

Фишинг-атака на сопровождающих Python-пакеты в репозитории PyPI
Администраторы репозитория Python-пакетов PyPI (Python Package Index) предупредили о выявлении фишинг-атаки, напоминающей недавнюю атаку на сопровождающих пакеты в репозитории NPM. Злоумышленники рассылали сообщения от имени PyPI с уведомлением о необходимости подтвердить свой email.
Сообщения отправлялись с адреса "noreply@pypj.org" и содержали ссылку на форму верификации email, ведущую на сайт pypj.org (от официального сайта pypi.org домен отличается буквой "j" вместо "i" с расчётом на невнимательность получателя). Содержимое сайта pypj.org повторяло сайт pypi.org. Пока нет сведений, удалось ли атакующим получить контроль над какими-либо проектами в PyPI. В ходе похожей атаки на NPM злоумышленники подобным образом обманули сопровождающих нескольких крупных JavaScript-проектов и выпустили обновления с вредоносным кодом для семи NPM-пакетов, в сумме насчитывающих более 100 млн загрузок в неделю.

Году этак в 2013 попытался использовать btrfs. Угадаете что случилось? 😀 Разумеется, умудрился как-то получить нечитаемые диски. В тот же день, везение наверное. С тех пор ext4 и (позднее и сейчас в основном) xfs.

Сейчас вроде как "буттерфс" считается стабильной (не на raid5+) и как-то не вовремя под руку подвернулись 2 диска по 1ТБ. В RAID1 их на свободном системнике!

Решил немного нагрузить синком гигов на 200, а попутно ещё и запустил проверку. Пусть работает, посмотрим...
