Hello work world again. Haven’t missed you one bit… 🙈 Touching grass succeeded too well.

Heading out for a first holiday since 1.5 years on Dark Bio, so didn't want to ship anything last minute... ...but end of July will see both the founder series Arks shipping out (request to but one at founders@dark.bio) and the emulator may also land 🔥. Back in a few weeks 🏔️

ArkOS v0.11.3 released (requires Ark I device) and available via the official Ark Hub.

Interesting story why you need to understand code LLMs generate. This one I hit with my Dark Bio firmware, and it bricked only one device due to sheer luck. 🧵

Unsure when / if recordings of my @dark.bio talks from this week will be online, but in the mean time, here are my slides: 14th June, Neocypherpunk Summit talks.dark.bio/2026-neocyph... 16th June, Futura Camp, Sovereign AI Day talks.dark.bio/2026-futura....

First ever Dark Bio easter-egg in an unrelated presentation 🥰

Will be doing a talk at 11:15 today here at Futura Camp, Berlin about LLMs and genomics 😅 … because cryptography and genomics was just too simple so had to mix in the lass buzzword too :)) See you in a bit. cc @dark.bio

Find me Sun-Tue @blockchainweek.berlin and I’ll give you a production (unpopulated) Ark I PCB! These are the exact things inside the founder edition @dark.bio Arks 😋) (apart of the name tag).

Woot =) I can finally use *multiple* Arks at the same time. No more wiping my genome at conferences to demo how pairing works 🎉 Multi-pairing work courtesy of Berti Kato :)

Dropped the Cloudflare Zero Trust access wall from the Ark Hub, now we only have the soft-gate that verifies a genuine Ark (or in the near future emulator) presence. hub.dark.bio

🌿 "cilantro == soap" genetic DLC =)

With the latest indexing, writing genomics apps against the Ark became a lot nicer. Below is the *full* source code of an app that can tell you whether you're genetically sensitive to cilantro (i.e. tastes like soap to you).

Me raw-dogging my genome via CLI through the Ark 🤓

Q: Why would you need an open genomic platform, when AI will solve everything? A:

Now I need to add emulated device support to the cloud relays :D For now I only allow genuine Arks to use my infra 😜

Sneak peek of what s23b is working on currently 😍 (i.e. Ark I emulator!!)

Weird Sunday morning baking session... but the tray of cookies came out nice 🥹

Finally satisfied with the packaging 🥹

Founder's series Ark I with bundled stand as a gift 🖤 ¹ This is a photo, not render, not AI ² The bundle is 1 box of each, not 2

Quick 20 minute adventure... 18 months later... 🥲

First 10 `founder` Arks operational ❤️

🥲

Seems I will be giving two (!) talks about @dark.bio in Berlin soon: - 14th of June, Neo-Cypherpunk Summit (@web3privacy.info) - 16th of June, Futura Camp Come say hi :)

Box assembly session 😋☕️ (@dark.bio)

Me: Hey Claude, make CI go brrr! Claude:

Me every morning: log into xyz, find my order, pull the tracking code, load DHL/UPS/whatnot, check where the package is at. Rinse and repeat. Me today morning: screw it, we makin' shipping tracker.

Trying to pick which design to go with for the Ark I display stand. My favorite for now is top right, not too empty, not too busy. Opinions? 😅

Dark Bio whitepaper is out! We're building a system in which a person's health data, their genome most of all, no longer has to live with a custodian to be useful. A system, where data does not move, rather stays on a small device the owner holds.

You know it's a slow Friday if I have time to mess around with the website =)... that said, I may (or may not) have a nice thing dropping on Monday. Sub for more 😜

We've just added a waiting list sub our homepage! Join if you want to be notified of news related to the Dark Bio project, the Ark I enclave or the genomic platform we're building out.

My automated key manager became too unwieldy too... made a fancier one today 🤩 ...before and after...

This is why I was pissy at Python today, because it took 3 hours of key prep and distribution to then choke on a missing import in a 3rd party script, tainting my HSM audit journal...

Per out transparency policy, we've published the public keys for the Ark I `friend` and `founder` series: secure boot-, firmware update- and device attestation keys. github.com/dark-bio/tra... The `friend` series is a limited edition gift to select people, paid by @karalabe.bsky.social.

Just reactivated my Discord user and started to set up a new server for Dark Bio... DM me for an invite if you want in *now*. I'll open it up publicly in a bit when things seem more complete.

Ahahahaha, wanted to join some facebook group so I created a new empty account. The "your account is suspended" email arrived *before* the "welcome to facebook" one =)) "You need a video selfie". Well, fuck you too facebook, fuck you too 😘

Prepping for the weekend lego session 😎
