Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.
My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.
#NewHere #introductionHi Spencer, welcome 👋
If you want an easy-to-understand guide to how this place works, have a look at the website https://fedi.tips (especially the section marked "Quick Start").
Please feel free to ask if you want help with anything specific, I am trying to provide unofficial tech support on here 🙂

@StaceyCornelius I hadn't seen these! thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
@spencexyz @StaceyCornelius Hashtags is how you find your people here! You can follow the tags like or instead of following people.

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz good goal! Is it just US or are you in EU too?

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz Tip one: edit your post and make that url clickable, I believe you need https: and two slashes, like: https://www.gobikecamping.com

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz bicycles and data go with the fediverse the same way that cheese and crackers go with port, or music goes with dancing. They were made for each other.

#NewHere #introductionWelcome! There are lots of very interesting people here. You are responsible for finding your folks.
What I do is when someone posts something interesting, I tap on their avatar image left of their screen name at the top of their post and look at their profile page. If they seem like interesting people, I follow them. If someone turns out to be not who you thought, you can unfollow them later. Follow lots of people starting out.

@spencexyz @clew it seems, there is a federated thing to be the successor of komoot and strava allready in the making. Maybe you can/like/want to contribute to that project?
-
@spencexyz good goal! Is it just US or are you in EU too?
@NotYours there isn't any data right now for the EU, just because no one has added any.
I've been focused on US and Canada right now since that's what I know and have experience with. I hope to expand to the EU as I run out of data to add in the US and start seeking out stuff for the EU.

@http_error_418 thanks for the tip, I fixed it! it really is great being on a platform that lets you do the little things, like edit.

@Reinald @clew thanks, I'll take a look at this! similar name to another app that I love: https://wandrer.earth/

#NewHere #introductionHave you seen https://wanderer.to/ it's an ActivityPub connected trail database

@clew right now it refers to content you put online, like photos and posts you make about your long distance bicycle adventures.
long term, I'd love to see a federated version of Strava. every year they cut down their api access further and further. but it's our data and we should be able to share with any external apps we want.
I'm trying to figure out how I can use the tools I'm building to expose more cyclists to the fediverse and help fuel that demand.
@spencexyz @clew This sounds related to what https://pixelfed.org/ does
(p.s. Welcome! Delighted to see more bikers on here)

Quizzino della domenica: Strana equazione
784 - algebra
La sonda marziana Curiosity ha trovato delle scritte dell'antica civiltà marziana. Una di esse, una volta decifrata, è la seguente: 5x² − 50x + 125 = 0: x = 5 e x = 8. In effetti 5 è una soluzione dell'equazione, ma 8 non lo è: 5×64 − 50× + 125 = 45. Quante dita avevano i marziani?(trovate un aiutino sul mio sito, alla pagina https://xmau.com/quizzini/p784.html; la risposta verrà postata lì il prossimo me https://wp.me/p6hcSh-91s

Tamper Detection with Time-Domain Reflectometry
For certain high-security devices, such as card readers, ATMs, and hardware security modules, normal physical security isn’t enough – they need to wipe out their sensitive data if someone starts drilling through the case. Such devices, therefore, often integrate circuit meshes into their cases and regularly monitor them for changes that could indicate damage. To improve the sensitivity and accuracy of such countermeasures, [Jan Sebastian Götte] and [Björn Scheuermann] recently designed a time-domain reflectometer to monitor meshes (pre-print paper).
Many meshes are made from flexible circuit boards with winding traces built into the case, so cutting or drilling into the case breaks a trace. The problem is that most common ways to detect broken traces, such as by resistance or capacitance measurements, aren’t easy to implement with both high sensitivity and low error rates. Instead, this system uses time-domain reflectometry: it sends a sharp pulse into the mesh, then times the returning echoes to create a mesh fingerprint. When the circuit is damaged, it creates an additional echo, which is detected by classifier software. If enough subsequent measurements find a significant fingerprint change, it triggers a data wipe.
The most novel aspect of this design is its affordability. An STM32G4-series microcontroller manages the timing, pulse generation, and measurement, thanks to its two fast ADCs and a high-resolution timer with sub-200 picosecond resolution. For a pulse-shaping amplifier, [Jan] and [Björn] used the high-speed amplifiers in an HDMI redriver chip, which would normally compensate for cable and connector losses. Despite its inexpensive design, the circuit was sensitive enough to detect when oscilloscope probes contacted the trace, pick up temperature changes, and even discern the tiny variations between different copies of the same mesh.
It’s not absolutely impossible for an attacker to bypass this system, nor was it intended to be, but overcoming it would take a great deal of skill and some custom equipment, such as a non-conductive drill bit. If you’re interested in seeing such a system in the real world, check out this teardown of a payment terminal. One of the same authors also previously wrote a KiCad plugin to generate anti-tamper meshes.
Thanks to [mark999] for the tip!

@DavidBHimself I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
And yes, I did lose my right to vote when I moved a couple of times, even as a resident+citizen of said location. That’s how our imperfect electoral system works. 😥

@evan I agree with @EricLawton -- "expatriate" is an imperial term. I see no confusion of terminology in his comment, quite the opposite.
In the context of the poll, "expatriate" was used about emigrants, not immigrants, but the point stands. The clearest term, if a bit long and pedantic, might have been "citizens who are not residents".
