It was great to have @robinlovelace around this week for @anavybor 's PhD defense and to talk all things #bicycle #networks. Here Robin's own words how his time in #Copenhagen made an impression on him: https://www.robinlovelace.net/post/copenhagenize/

"The only #democracy in the #MiddleEast", they say.

A new report by @7amleh:

»In its first chapters, the report details various manifestations of discrimination in #internet accessibility. […]
The third chapter sheds light on similar forms of discrimination in #mobile phone #networks, highlighting significant coverage gaps […]«

Remember 1969? Landing on the Moon, Woodstock, the Birth of the Internet—So Many Hopes and Dreams… And ‘Come Together’ by The Beatles Playing in the Background.

Well, we are talking about the internet and Supply Chain Security here

Here we go:

From Trust to Zero Trust: How the Internet’s Original Vision Became a Global Security Risk

The #internet was built on #trust. The first message sent over ARPANET in 1969 linked #UCLA and #Stanford with the idea of open collaboration, a network designed to connect—not defend. That trust-based foundation worked when networks were small and closed. Today, it has become a critical vulnerability.

Supply chains are no longer just about moving goods—they are digital, global, and deeply embedded in every part of modern life. From the #software updates we install to the #infrastructure that keeps our world running, trust is now the attack surface. And the reality is simple: when trust is exploited, society pays the price.

At #ZeroTrustWorld2025 - aka #ztw25 organized by ThreatLocker - Sean Martin and I were on location to explore this shift. Bradford Bleier delivered a wake-up call on how supply chains have become a #cybersecurity battlegrounds, why trust relationships are the weakest link, and why #ZeroTrust isn’t just an #infsecurity framework—it’s a necessity for the world we live in.

When a pipeline attack disrupts fuel supply, a ransomware hit leaves grocery shelves empty, or a compromised vendor shuts down hospitals, this isn’t just a cybersecurity issue. It’s a societal issue.

In my latest article for ITSPmagazine Podcasts' Coverage, I break down how we got here, why trust-based #networks no longer work, and what this means for the future of society, technology, and security.

What do you think—can trust still exist in a hyperconnected world? Or is Zero Trust the only way forward?

A good summary of The Reticulum Network and How it Works

https://linuxinabit.codeberg.page/blog/reticulum/ by @Linux_in_a_Bit

Reticulum is the cryptography-based networking stack for building local and wide-area networks with readily available hardware. Reticulum can continue to operate even in adverse conditions with very high latency and extremely low bandwidth.

The vision of Reticulum is to allow anyone to operate their own sovereign communication networks, and to make it cheap and easy to cover vast areas with a myriad of independent, interconnectable and autonomous networks. Reticulum is Unstoppable Networks for The People.

#reticulum #networks #networking #communication

We all know #complex #systems are most often structured as #networks. But the #complexity of the real world often goes beyond pairwise interactions. So, how does one model these? Why, with #hypergraphs, of course! And how does one learn about them? By attending our School and Conference on Higher-Order Networks! An international line-up of lecturers and speakers will discuss the #mathematics of hypergraphs, the #physics of the processes they support and discuss #algorithms that can be used to study their #structure and #dynamics.

So, are you curious to learn about the mechanisms that a certain #fascist owner of a social network uses to push people to vote for far-right candidates? And do you want to know the most efficient way #democratic governments have to bring down his evil network of satellites if he keeps breaking the law? Join us!

The event will take place from 25 June to 2 July at the International Institute of Physics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, in Natal, #Brazil

Please boost widely and send to anyone who you think may be interested, especially students and postdocs!

Next personal knowledge mastery online workshop starts 3 March.

• six weeks, 18 activities
• based on 20 years of research & practice
• self-paced
• focused on creating your own approach for sensemaking
• emphasizes learning in communities & networks

Another good infographic from “Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI”, by Yuval Noah Harari:

@DrALJONES

Cowards every one of them.

We need to tell everyone you know that they MUST actively look for trusted sources of #news information, #politics #uspol -- Blogs, substack (though that is a problematic platform too) and definitely #Mastodon and #Fediverse

#Mainstream media is lying to us every single day with their happy headlines

Failed #Networks

HUGE milestone reached today! This is the first ever #PhDThesis from our #ecoevo #modelling team. And it is such a fascinating story, full of new insights into the forces that (de-)stabilise (ecological) interaction #networks! Congratulations Franzi!!! What a crazy ride this has been…

My very own mini FM transmitter lives! Thanks @loriemerson for publishing your excellent how-to zine. https://othernetworks.net/2024/08/20/build-your-own-mini-fm-transmitter/ #networks #radio #diy #electronics

Reticulum: Unstoppable Networks for The People

Enjoyed this talk from lead developer, Mark Qvist about the interesting #Reticulum Network, which I have been testing recently on phones/Lora radios.
