The paper I presented at Security Protocols Workshop is out! The theme was "controversial security". We work to bridge the gap between platonic models of rational actors and the trenches, exploring why the real players don't always disclose vulnerabilities or issue patches. rya.nc/files/strate...

Report JKR's tweets to the police, she's inciting violence.

egg-producing equipment? does joanne mean like a dvd copy of 1995 trans-coded film classic HACKERS?

I've been sitting on this code since the Bitfi debacle of 2018 - John McAfee was spokestroll for an "unhackable" cryptocurrency wallet, and long story short @saleem.bsky.social and built a reliable key extraction exploit and withheld the details out of spite. gist.github.com/ryancdotorg/...

🎉 40,000 women have signed - and we’re not stopping here. We’re united in rejecting discrimination against the trans and non-binary community. We refuse to let our voices be used to divide. This is our moment — and we’re heading for 50,000...and beyond! 🚀💥 📢 Here’s how you can help us get there...

I just saw someone on Reddit describe Las Vegas as “If Ticketmaster was a city” and holy crap.

Truth. I remember in the friggin' 90s reading essays by forward-thinking hacker types who were like "We cannot allow the internet to become funded and sustained by advertisers, it must be nationalized now as a public service" and thinking "Seems dramatic!" lol. LOOOOL.

If you’re an individual, you can write to your MP to express your concerns, and state that you no longer recognise the EHRC as a NHRI. We’ve prepared a letter you can personalise and send. It helps show this issue matters to constituents.

This thumbnail is killing me

I mostly share this sentiment, but what I really want is to be recognized as nonbinary. I do get spontaneously referred to in a gender neutral way fairly regularly.

I saved a screenshot of this as one of many life goals.

Or you could leave it Or you could give us human rights and I'd volunteer to clean it off for free

Just looked up someone I once worked with on a CTF, and he's released something called "Monarch of the Hill" and I love it.

starting to think we should give "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords" a chance as a basis for our system of government

The top anti-rights extremists are well aware of this, but since the facts don't support their position, they lie. We all pay the price.

Fully endorse this, and every trans, LGBTQ+, race and disability org should do the same. Personally Im going one step further - I will not support, donate or promote any trans or LGBTQ+ org that doesnt follow suit. [1]

Statement: Effective immediately, we will no longer cooperate with the EHRC. We no longer recognise the EHRC as a human rights body. It is no longer independent, and we will not engage with them. We urge other orgs to do the same.

#SaveSpeech its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well! PHASE 2: START MAILING PHYSICAL LETTERS imgur: imgur.com/a/3pVupWQ more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money

“We must name this threat for what it is: a deliberate and coordinated attack on human rights, led by actors who are weaponising misinformation, fabricating moral panic about abortion care and LGBTI people…” New Amnesty UK report shows how anti-rights groups are funding attacks on bodily autonomy.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Look I know this is hard to reckon with but we don’t have time any longer to wait for you to catch up. This Labour government is in fact worse than the last 15 years of Tory led governments. For us all. And talking specifically about our LGBTQIA+ sector for a second… we need to acknowledge this.

I had a simple goal: dump the MAC address forwarding database from a "Web Managed" PoE switch. It has SNMP, but of course it doesn't expose that information. Fine. Violence (scraping with a Python script) it is. I should have known this would not be straightforward.

periodic reminder that no one here likes it when you quote skeet people espousing garbage opinions, even to mock or rebuke them we greatly prefer it if you block them and just let their opinion die a quiet death a lot of people will even block both of you if they see you doing it a lot

The FTC is seeking public comment about gender affirming care in order to go after providers and restrict access. Share your stories instead of how this care has helped you and how it is life saving. We need to counteract their false narratives. Please share! www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2...

Sneak peek: Spicy pillow! I really want to do a series of items I call “a hacker’s nightmare.”

✅ TNG ✅ VOY ✅ DS9 ✅ PIC ✅ DIS ✅ PRO ✅ LD ✅ TOS 1️⃣2️⃣ SNW ✅ TAS Just a couple movies and the final season of Strange New Worlds left. This, and experiencing bij, is the only way to get all of the obscure references in Lower Decks. Please do not tell me how much time this represents.

happy VPN configuration day to all who celebrate

I have been feeding fake data about myself into every system I encounter since I was a teenager. A data broker's portrait of me as a sixty-something businesswoman who drinks bud light proves that my history is a useless, contradictory mess as a result. It's shitposting elevated to performance art.

I have hole saw bits in seven different sizes and grommets in three different sizes. None of them match, because of course they don't. 🤦‍♀️

LLM I am being "encouraged" to use at work: "I have both the complete set of RFCs and the SCP wiki in my training set, so I think I'm prepared to deal with ad tech." Customizing the system prompt was a fantastic move if I'm going to have to use this thing as a rubber duck.

I just came across this and was reminded of Rule 34: docs.rspamd.com/modules/gpt/ I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. cc @cstross.bsky.social

Current status: Rewiring a power strip to replace the BS 1363 plug with an IEC C-14 plug while the fibre installers wonder if they're somehow being pranked.

Let's show up and make it the most important issue.

They've partnered with a virulent anti-trans bigot, I better see news of protests at whatever bullshit they're doing there.

A four month branch divergence with major work on both sides. A full day of cherry-picking to fix it. I now have several new git aliases which are as sophisticated as they are cursed (e.g. `git pick-next OTHER_BRANCH`) that I hope to never use again. My ~/.gitalias file is not a place of honor.

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails. are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

My employer "encouraged" LLM experiments continue. I am currently being lectured on network protocol analysis by not-lcamtuf. We have transcended mansplaining. This is something new: a sterile, condescending, stochastic mansplaining-as-a-service.

I am a fucking goddamn 43 year old woman in the year 2025, why am I fighting the Puritans, we should all be having gay space sex in our moneyless orbital torus or whateverthefuck

Bluesky's age verification is the least offensive one I've seen so far - does a credit card pre authorization but critically does not ask for the name on the card or the zip/post code. I wonder if prepaid cards or debit cards work?

It's not, but the online safety act is terrible.

I considered trying that, but assumed they couldn't possibly be that bad. Apparently I need to recalibrate.

She blocked me for this after implying I'm either lying or incompetent. I have a Pixel 6a. There was a documented mandatory no opt out update, though my battery is not impacted. support.google.com/pixelphone/a... bsky.app/profile/imlu...

"I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it further."

My Android phone just performed a forced, unauthorized OS update, removing root access in the process. Despite automatic updates being explicitly disabled. The tech industry's understanding of "consent" is contemptuous. "No" means "no", not "maybe later", or "unless you think you know better".

A component I'm working on in Rust now has enough nested structs to make a matryoshka blush. I keep hearing "zero-cost abstractions", and while I have experience making compilers work _hard_, this seems too good to be true. Eventually, this is going to get down to "opcodes or it didn't happen".
