To a Kali box…. in Fortinet’s network

Oooh "bank" run ahoy!

This headline is from yesterday, as in, this year: www.theregister.com/2026/02/03/m...

I think I'm blanking out here. You know the red string, conspiracy theory, "vision board"... thing? What is the proper name for that board?

Unrelated: @waterfox.net and LibreFox exist.

How did US people get moved to EllissonTok? Was there an app update, or was it something like DNS getting repointed to the other service?

LinkedIN inviting me, emailing me, and cold calling my personal cell all within 2mins is indeed "triple threat outreach", but not in the way I think you meant it Mr Salesperson.

@hootsuite.com is reportedly supporting ICE: vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/01/21/v... Wonder what their customers think? @adobe.com @corewellhealth.bsky.social @ochsnerhealth.bsky.social @soundcloud.dev @britishmuseum.bsky.social @uchicagopress.bsky.social @uhaul.bsky.social @unesco.org @who.int

Just a reminder that the @eff.org published this, in case it's relevant to anyone, for any reason. ssd.eff.org

Access to the Epstein files is being managed by Ticketmaster?!

I almost forgot that between using all the GPUs to create magical math money, and using all the GPUs to make predictive text draw pictures, there was a period where we wanted to use very cold processors to open a wormhole and break crypto or something. Are we still doing that?!

I was looking for a way to summarize my feelings on that article since I read it this morning.... and I think that this covers it nicely.

Countdown to legislators calling for porn bans being exposed as having the most fucked up searches....

Luckily absolutely nobody has ever used React and therefore this will have zero impact.

Epic codename, no one could possibly extrapolate what that's about.

Cool cool cool. Luckily no unhinged people have ever wanted to know the details of the jurors who convicted them, their family, their cult leaders, etc 😳

TIL that the golang sumdb does not use git-lfs when calculating sums for packages. So if a package has a file hosted using git-lfs it will checksum the package using the pointer not the actual file. Which is great when you *do* have git-lfs enabled and so get a different checksum.

Wow Liquid Glass is uuuggglllyyy, and there’s no accessibility option to turn it off?!

Of course being named in documents doesn’t necessarily make you guilty. But preemptively worrying about that so much has "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" vibes.

And now I can't push changes to Github.... presumably us-east-1 will explode in an hour or so.

From: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... I hope this is a poorly chosen set of words or out of context or something, because one would feel that “a spike in unusual traffic" is kinda core to Cloudflare's services

I see non-tech social media has replaced "so what is us-east-1?" with "so what is Cloudflare?"

So Cloudflare is broken then.

President and CEOs email address is: [email protected] They claim to care about DEI on their corporate responsibility page: www.skyservice.com/about/corpor... If you are planning to write to them, note that the address is actually Flightline Drive, not Road.

Naive question for my US friends. If the answer to “why did you pardon them?” Is “I don’t know who that is”…. Why is the next logical question not “why did you pardon someone where you don’t know who that is?” ?!

When AI people say that “even we don’t know how it works”, I assume that this is hyperbole, not literal? We know that there’s a runtime (e.g ollama, etc), which is a traditional binary executable compiled from source code. It could have a debugger attached, logging added to the source, etc. [1/3]

Well that explains how the spelling has improved in recent weeks (someone else, at least sometimes, posts for him). Also… the OpSec continues to be strong across the entire administration.

Excuse me Mr Clegg... Napster, The Pirate Bay, Megaupload, etc would like a quick word.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

I’m no military opsec specialist, but publicly telegraphing ahead of time when & where all the top brass will be, and by inference where they won’t be, seems…. Flawed. Unless it’s a cunning deception…… 🤣🤣🤣

You know who does actually use the term “anti-ice” regularly? www.google.com/search?hl=en...

I know it’s a small qualm in the overall scheme of things, but “written in pen” is not “engraved”

If macOS could not just pan audio 100% to the left on every software update, that'd be nice.

For anyone looking at this, the samples I looked at, while obfuscated, were the same obfuscated code. i.e. not re-obfuscated per package. This little but of laziness means you can (at least could) simply search for chunks of the obfuscated sample to check your own repos.

*checks inbox*

@gdead.bsky.social never warned us that we shouldn’t have been wearing watches at shmoocon all those years!!!

Had to look up the Cracker Barrel “woke rebrand” to find out what all the upset is about. I…. Am confused. Are they upset that the text looks more black than dark brown, or that there’s no barrel anymore, or…. What?

I get that Golden is the main track, but you are all sleeping on "How It's Done" (the fighting demons on a plane while making ramyeon one) youtu.be/QGsevnbItdU?...

Been offline for a while so missed some things…. THE LATEST BULLSHIT IS BECAUSE SOMEONE BEAT UP BIG BALLS?!?

Just a reminder that you can visit "about:config" and search for "browser.ml.*enable" which gives you 4 places you can stop this.

Is anyone within my reach knowledgeable about how the current generation of game cheat software works (the sort of thing you see in CoD or Battlefield). More specifically if it works via patching the software in memory, acting as some kind of network proxy, adding special drivers or eBPFs, etc?

R.E. the economics behind the "replace all the junior devs with AIs" movement. Previously those devs were told they should be paid in options not $$ because $$ are for growing the company and options will be worth more anyway (not that options pay today's bills). Do we buy AIs with options now?

You know those unsolicited calendar invites sketchy sales orgs use? Well Google just correctly identified one as spam, but added it to my calendar anyway. Meaning they successfully got into my calendar, and I couldn't initially find the source because Spam isn't returned in search results, yaaaay.

Well I feel vindicated now, thanks to @bobb2.bsky.social for pointing out that @wired.com have reported the same: www.wired.com/story/metada... Also the corner of an app showing for 30mins in the footage and a change in the aspect ratio before/after the missing minute also show how not-raw it is.

So this Epstein video with the missing ~1min... From a cursory look it seems like they didn't even try to hide the edit in the metadata, this looks suspiciously like two separate files edited together (not just cutting something out), seems "MJCOLE~1" used PremierPro to do at least part of it

With all that's happening in the US (other places too, but the US hosts a lot of internet plumbing). Has anyone done any analysis on CAs that could be at risk of government coercion? I'm thinking of issuing rogue certs for impersonation / interception, etc @firefox.com, @mozilla.org, @eff.org?

@mattjay.com on your live earlier I swear you said you were on twitch too, but I couldn’t find your profile. Mind pointing me in the right direction?

If you feel that you might be doing it wrong(tm), take solace in the fact that a Canadian Telco got Salt Typhoon'd via an unpatched vuln from 2023 with a CVSS score of 10. www.cyber.gc.ca/en/guidance/...

It occurs to me that Death Stranding is not a walking simulator but a cybertruck simulator. Your electric truck instantly rusts in rain, has terrible range, and barfs at the slightest hint of off-roading. It will result in you walking between locations where everyone in between hates you.
