Here are 3 views of a human #network of 16 people.
Many people think that human #networks have complete #connectivity -- everyone is connected to everyone else. This would be like Example A below. But human networks of normal size have much lower connectivity -- only some of the nodes/people are connected to each other. This would be like Example B below. Finally, Example C shows us the emergent patterns in human networks — examples B and C have the exact same connections.

More native plants and species at risk of extinction as Australia enters worst bushfire season since 2019’s black summer
The environment minister, Tanya Plibersek:
"Housing developers also needed to play a role in ensuring new homes were not coming at the cost of threatened species, she said...[We need to make sure] if we’re going to build housing, we’re still protecting the most important areas and we’re also doing things like planting new wildlife corridors to connect up bits of remnant bushland. We need to have better laws, but we also need to send a strong message to developers to say nobody wants to live in hot, baking dry, new developments. You do better with developing places where people want to live … where they can see mature trees left in places, where they can see areas of natural bushland remaining.”

Eric Dinerstein et al argue for "A “Global Safety Net” to reverse biodiversity loss and stabilize Earth’s climate."
"Global strategies to halt the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change are often formulated separately, even though they are interdependent and risk failure if pursued in isolation. The Global Safety Net maps how expanded nature conservation addresses both overarching threats."
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abb2824
In a nutshell:
Provide connectivity: wildlife and climate corridors.
Stop deforestation.
Involve and respect Indigenous knowledge.
The Global Safety Net
The first global-scale analysis of land areas requiring protection to solve the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change, upholding and strengthening Indigenous land rights.The Global Safety Net is the first comprehensive global-scale analysis of terrestrial areas essential for biodiversity and climate resilience, totaling 50.4% of the Earth's land.

Forestry Corp has started logging compartment 14 of the Pine Creek State Forest within the boundaries of the Great Koala National Park (GKNP).
"The compartment is bordered on three sides by Bongil Bongil National Park. It contains a ‘koala hub’ – the only interim government policy protection afforded koala in the GKNP."
"Fully 50-60% of every tree felled is ‘waste’ for Forestry’s purposes. Non target species such as casuarina (the primary food source of endangered glossy black cockatoo) is swept away as trash. All this is bulldozed into 3-meter high long windrows and burned. What are the CO2 losses from this practice one wonders."

Hyperscalers' data demands are driven not just by their own content needs, like Instagram photos and YouTube videos viewed around the world 」

Why is it super-easy to book a flight across #Europe, but almost impossible to buy a train ticket for the same destination?! 😡
Great #RoadEcology work occurring in Montana. #Connectivity #Wildlife #Conservation
#PhD students of #Mastodon, I have created a Mastadon group for sharing PhD-related posts using @phdstudents when posting a PhD student toot. Let's help the group to grow and share our PhD student experiences.

It feels kinda weird, may delete later, but since it seems to be all the rage, here's my #introduction
Hi, I'm Dominik 🙃
I had always worked for product security teams on the side (WiFi SoHo routers, Smartcard readers, random software, ..) during uni/PhD, but finally quit #academia completely a few months ago.
Now I'm doing #cellular and other #connectivity security, trying to improve archaic low level protocols and implementations in #phones 😬.
Before that, I did a lot of #fuzzing (still do) and co-authored a bunch of papers I personally like, about #snapshot and #network fuzzing (FitM), #binary-only baseband fuzzing (FirmWire), Nvidia #driver fuzzing (BSOD) and many more.
Also, stumbled into @aflplusplus, the team maintaining #AFL++ and the fuzzing library #LibAFL we wrote in #rust (https://github.com/AFLplusplus/LibAFL) that currently dominates benchmarks! Enjoying this a lot :)
Apart from that, I travel, play games, organize CTFs, and just do whatever activities friends spontaneously throw at me
