New, by me: Adobe has fixed a bug in its flagship PDF readers that hackers have been abusing for at least four months to break into people's Windows and macOS computers and steal data. A security researcher who discovered the hacks said it works by tricking victims into opening a malicious PDF.

Joy Division and New Order are being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. About time, considering Blue Monday is the best-selling 12-inch single of all time.

Tired of having to talk in disclaimers just because you listen in riddles

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

there are cases where it's unclear if someone doing harm is just in over their head and bumbling in a way that's hurting everyone, but Aaron Swartz saying "Sam can never be trusted. He is a sociopath. He would do anything." is maybe the most rock solid trustable statement possible from a real person

Roughly, left of the dark area is part of the far side of the Moon, not seen from Earth. The big round feature is the Orientale impact basin, the Moons youngest. That area was in darkness for all the Apollo flights so the Integrity crew are the first humans to see it with their own eyes

@davidgerard.co.uk I paid for Claude, just so I could add native UVC / V4L2 support to OpenPHD2, because I desperately want it and it was the fastest way I could get it. Am I going to hell?

Japan just unveiled a drone made entirely of cardboard. It flies at 120 km per hour, can be assembled in 5 minutes, and is designed to be used in massive swarms. The craziest part is it can be mass produced at any regular cardboard factory. The future is cheap. www.reddit.com/r/SECourses/...

IRC is still around. People could just avoid Discord completely with the age verification if they picked a server and channel and learned it (or better, learned how to set up their own servers/sysop it).

WTF, Jaycar is selling Warhammer models & paints now?

the wizard from the book I read would have taken a half brick in a sock to Harry Potter, that's all I'm saying

People will react to news of major security vulns with "The only way to stay secure is to live as a hermit and throw your devices into the sea" and then keep chattering on the internet in a deeply unhermitlike manner while not throwing their devices into the sea.

If you didn't know this already have a fact to brighten your day. This is my cat Boris when he played Jones in Aliens. He was picked because he would hiss on camera because he was not a nice guy.

For the same reason you DONT actually need 32G of ram to run a web browser, you don't need to use a Pi to convert serial data to parallel. I mean cmon, Its using a 555 as a BUFFER. a BUFFER! github.com/ruenahcmohr/... Please conserve the technology people.

Companies House has been pushing users to use gov UK digital ID to log in; maybe they should pay as much attention to the basics of their web app if backspacing lets you get into other accounts Alt text statement from companies house

By all means, live the kind of life where you piss me off so badly that I dig until I find 15-year old IRC logs of you asking how to compile something.

My son just bought Green Day - American Idiot. The fancy 20th anniversary edition with the coloured vinyl. Now I’m really tempted to go and see how badly warped my Siouxsie vinyl has gotten…

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone! The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

So several years before the term Internet was coined for a network of interconnected computer networks in the mid 70s. Several years earlier a small company in Beckenham Kent sold cheapo Hong Kong made pocket radios. They called themselves Internet. Here is one I bought today with box.

@ruenahcmohr.bsky.social What’s the optimal height for a workbench in your opinion? Waist height or closer to chest height? Will be fastening mitre saw, drill press, etc to it. Cutting down a “loft bed” (bunk bed without the bottom bed) to make it, then putting some thick plywood on top

Hello Gaius my old friend

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.
