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.

Although their status page is green across the board, I seem to be having a bunch of iCloud issues, e.g. 5XX errors trying to authenticate. Anyone else having issues?

This feels like the whole metaverse thing all over again. Taking bets on if the company gets renamed to something AI related before they fuck it up and abandon it.

It’s been 30 years, but the Nirvana Unplugged version of “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?” still delivers goosebumps in the second half. Also, I now feel old.

Well those commands look very docker/colima'y ... Wonder if that's for ease of migration or because that's what it is.

I realize that it’s because captain dingbat has the same fetish for gold that Elmo has for the letter X. But every time I hear “golden dome” I can’t help but eye roll at the decision to name it after a metal which is way less strong than iron.

It means they’re a bunch of bigoted shitheads. Glad I could clear that up.

Probably a long shot... But is there anyone from Cloudflare's security team in my followers?

This definitely won’t go wrong.

.... oh, same for Digicert too.

Just in case this makes it to someone from Sectigo as they don't seem be on bluesky to tag directly... You seem to have intermittent problems with your certificate transparency servers returning 500 and 504 status codes.

So this list of tariffed countries…. Am I missing something, or are Canada & Mexico both absent? Not complaining of course, but…. What?!

Every day is a new opportunity to get annoyed at systemd.

Quick reminder to 🇨🇦 friends who are repatriating their digital services. @cira.ca offers free DNS resolution services if you want to avoid Google/Cloudflare www.cira.ca/en/canadian-...

Just a reminder that you can download snapshots of Wikipedia if you wanted to engage in some guerilla archival or just to have an offline copy before some dumbass car manufacturer decides to try to take it down or something. meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_du... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

There seems to be some mis/disinformation going around pertaining to Signal usage. So, a quick TL;DR for new users: - Encrypted transmission protects against network eavesdroppers. - Messages are stored on your device, not centrally, so messages cannot be subpoenaed/stolen from Signal. 1/3

Why are the GPU predictive text bros upset about deepseek? I thought this was all about betterment of humanity, not a for-profit venture 🤔

This feels like someone just rebranded having a PR team on retainer.

I read this not as meaning he wouldn't extort some kind of payment, merely that if Canada were the 51st state it would be part of the same country, and thus any payments would not be called tariffs as that's an inter-country thing. Also, lol get fucked.

You know the "putting MFA behind a product tier paywall is bad" thing? Anyone else notice that some services are now doing the same with regards to being able to view your login history?

The number of batshit pro-Musk posts & comments on LinkedIN is mind blowing. I say this because although it's not the most important social network or anything, but.... It *is* the one that recruiters and hiring managers are going to go and look at before making a hiring decision.

Shoutout to @kpm.io for pointing out that you can use 'git checkout - ' to switch to the last branch you were on, after I complained that it would be a useful feature in git. It's impossible to know half of what's in git :)

Please tell me that @sarahjeong.bsky.social is tipsy and nearby right now!

I particularly enjoy that there is an item "Requires GitHub Enterprise Cloud", which only "Enterprise" has ticked. github.com/features/cop...
