RIP anyone running a PHP website (and yes, that means Wordpress). Patch or get popped very badly indeed.
Looks like only PHP 8 is getting a patch, so if you're below that, you're inherently vulnerable.
This is a no good very bad bug.

aaaa they reunited
Finally. Finally I own a KURU TOGA DIVE. I imported it from Japan for more money than I care to admit to.
It is the ultimate nerd's pencil. As you touch and lift the nib, it rotates the lead to keep a sharp point. And the DIVE automatically extrudes the lead while writing.
It is unnecesssary and over-engineered and as such I felt a powerful kinship with it.
I'm working on a dumb little tool which will allow you to issue a DNS lookup and get the GPG public key for someone back as the DNS answer.
Anyway, until I release that, looky! A whole museum of stupid DNS shit! https://dns.museum
welp. it took me less than half an hour to go from "receive shiny new FM-1 to "brick FM-1 and have to crack out the Raspberry Pi to restore it to life".
Standard.
The firmware scene for it is stunning though. So cheap! And it's so WEENY! Wonder if it'll fit in my Volca rack.
People are sellling ESP32-based devices as "solo miners" claiming they're a "crypto lottery".
I mean. Yeah? It's true that you have a chance of hitting a block on one? But the hashrate is so comically low compared to any real miners that your chances are infinitesimal.
I haven't run the numbers, but I'd expect the actual lottery to have chances orders of magnitude higher.
If the trend of mispronouncing a single word in your video in order to generate engagement could end like, immediately, that would be super.
it's transparent and we fucking see you. stop it.
ELECROW have released some BANGING Meshtastic gear.

We all know about plus addressing, yeah?
If you have a Gmail inbox, be it normal Gmail or Google Workspace, say your mailbox is you@gmail.com or you@domain.tld .
You can also receive mail at you+anything@gmail.com (or you+anything@domain.tld) and even filter on the plus-addressed email address.
I'm really interested in the way models are going, looking at more than chat as the interface. The decision models we're seeing with #Jev and #Laya .
One of the major problems I see with #AI is that we are fixated on chat as the interface, and that comes with a variety of problems, not least ChatGPT psychosis, but also it's impossible to solve prompt injection when free text is the interface.
I would love to see AI spread into more structured data. Asking a question in the form of structured data and getting an answer in the form of structured data.
If we do that, we haven't got to worry about prompt injection, and we can use these more rigid models to guide LLMs with their far greater general-purpose capability.
I am so happy with my GTD system. Linear to ticket everything, not just tech work. Then Sunsama.
The cool thing about Sunsama is it provides a place for tasks to come from Linear, GitHub tickets, my calendar, and most importantly, my email inbox. Linear is a superb backing store for tickets. Sunsama brings it all together.
ghidra won't compile unless you use the Oracle JDK 25. bad NSA. no cookie.
for fuck's sake.
Valuing of time is bidirectional. I expect you to want me to value yours. I'm quite willing to. I'm willing to do that by default. But if you do something to challenge that default, don't be surprised when my value for your time in turn goes down the toilet.
If you use #AI screeners for your position, you should know three things about me.
One, I now do not want your position. You've said all I need to hear about how much you value my time.
Two, I am however 100% petty enough to become Your Problem, and I will fuck with the AI 'recruiter' as much as possible.
Three, I work in #devops. A ton of my work is figuring out how diverse systems interact with each other. I am more than ready to apply those skills to wasting as much of your time as I can.
Shipped a thing!
My memory is terrible. Pathologically bad (https://syn.as/sdam). So I capture everything into Linear, in Triage by default.
This tool makes it easy to go through the triage queue on a phone.
It's all client-side - you need an API key, but it never leaves your browser.
replace dig with doggo. you're welcome.
Does anyone else have this when grocery shopping? An inability to buy ONE of anything? It always feels more comfortable to buy two, and it feels actively worrisome - for some reason - to buy one.
Brains, man. Wonk.
Today in things I was wrong about and you should understand: #AI does use water in a wasteful way.
What should happen: closed loop cooling. Take water, run it through heat exchangers, evaporate it, condense it, return it to the pool, run it through heat exchangers, evaporate it, repeat forever. There will be losses, but not the majority.
What actually happens: no condensation step. Water comes in and is evaporated to the atmosphere. That's it.
There are better options. We're not using them.
PROTIP: if you have a lot of small files you want to put in cloud storage on a Mac, use iCloud. It handles it like a champ.
What I WANT to use is Dropbox, so it's not tied to an ecosystem, but Dropbox absolutely chokes with lots of small files. Really badly. Which is why I'm having an rclone party.
it is a constant source of pleasure to know that across the internet, admittedly not very often, gen alphas are discovering jerkcity for the first time.
behold. a gift from my era of the internet. also dicksucking huuahlugahghhgh
