RE: https://infosec.exchange/@sereeena/116822302181056320 Every Reddit link I share, I paste into a private browsing window to get the de-obfuscated link which I then re-copy without tracking parameters to share.

fwd:CloudSec is one of my favorite conferences to attend, no matter as a speaker or attendee. If anyone thought I was joking this morning when I said I drank a pint of cold brew before giving my talk, well, no. I actually did down 16 fluid ounces […] [Original post on social.securitytheater.net]

My entire platform for president is to make it a felony to put a USB-C connector on a device that can only charge from a USB-A power supply.

Today I Learned: In GitHub, you can have a branch protection rule for a branch that doesn’t exist. #til #todayilearned Add it to the arcane knowledge I’ve gathered over the years. I don’t know *why* this capability exists, but it does, and can cause strange issues when you don’t expect it.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@lcamtuf/116467581687628451 This could only go poorly and I’m here for it. Only missing a way to malloc-over-IP and you’re halfway to summoning the Four Horsemen of the apoCalypse.

RE: https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/116374175445745977 Fun thing I learned from @ZachWeinersmith's A City on Mars: this event was more about NASA's propensity to stack worst cases on top of worst cases. "Well, we'd *better* make sure you have enough, so what's the most number of tampons you've […]

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@sambowne/116308379194391026 I wonder how much of this app was vibe-coded.

I had to upgrade my wife’s laptop to handle the madness of one particular Google Sheet. I’m now able to have a dynamically updating query which itself builds off dynamic cells which builds off data processed in another dynamic sheet. Madness. =ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(QUERY($A2:J, "SELECT * WHERE Col" & […]

RT @ghidraninja Simple age check for Linux: Just have the shell ask the user to check the host IP on first boot. If they type ifconfig they are old enough, if they type ip addr they deserve to be restricted from their computer 😇

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@micahflee/116155634519577811 Use with some caution: some quick inspection shows that this dataset includes contracts with other parts of DHS (unrelated to ICE) and dating back to the Obama administration. I'm just a little nervous that people are going to go with […]

https://www.theverge.com/tech/881678/ring-doorbell-bounty-amazon-servers-fulu So this approach is very strange to me because there are multiple options for video doorbells that function locally, they're just from other manufacturers. I get that lots of people already own Ring doorbells, but […]

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@HI_Greens/116073834946030308 And also guide them to a particular server, telling them they can change later. But Mastodon isn’t simple to join if your mental model is “I want to join Mastodon” like how one joins BlueSky or Instagram or Twitter. Help people over than […]

If you're trying to persuade someone to try Mastodon (or Pixelfed, or Friendica, etc), you'll get a lot further explaining them as algorithm-free, ad-free, AI-free, nazi-free conversations, rather than trying to describe a "decentralised protocol" or why "open source" is good. Mastodon is […]

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@dalias/116023562857331451 Federated systems always struggle with this. Look at email spam for example. It’s a tough problem to solve and I hope the Fediverse / Mastodon teams are both listening and have ideas. I’d hate to see the first big federated network in a long […]

Why are there multiple system keyboards in iOS 26? Signal (on left) is full of squircles, Ivory (in center ) is a rectangle. The squircle one “leaks” light around the edges because the curves don’t match the physical device’s curvature. But Mail […] [Original post on social.securitytheater.net]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@FluentInFinance/115956099010039753 This is the sort of thing that makes me most nervous about the future. Courts in the US* have been standing up, mostly, to Trump’s actions. But this signals the end of an era that started in 1945, and nobody can predict what the […]

React2Shell? More like “OverReact2Shell”, right? I should post more on LinkedIn.

This is the biggest thing holding back the Fediverse. You can only really operate it sober-ish. Too much to drink and and you need a centralized system designed for growthhacking. https://mastodon.world/@DarthPutinKGB/115595396207548886

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says: “The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

On this Veterans Day, more than any before, let us remember the valiant service of Black, Hispanic, Navajo, Japanese and other non-white Americans who fought bravely for the ideals of a country that failed to live up to them, and whose legacy a racist GOP is desperately trying to erase.

Shot / Chaser I denied the Hotels.com app full access to my calendar. Seems like they really need to access *decades* of prior events to add something to the future. Apple should be doing something about this if privacy is a priority.

I feel we need a new public health campaign. Thanks to Computers® we can make it happen.

When playing spades, the hardest decision is when deciding to bid either nil or three.

Boy howdy, you don’t want to know how much time and emotional energy something like _checks notes_ human children take up. Also note that commitment flows one way, employee to employer, but not the other way. Christ, what an asshole. https://infosec.exchange/@krypt3ia/115221240974718709
