Today's daily defsec brief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FpNoTUOLKY
If you run a matrix synapse instance, it's time to patch. 11 vulnerabilities just fixed.
Remember to take care of the important stuff.

I just spent $115 to fill up my car 😢
Soon, gas stations will need to have loan officers
With spiraling storage costs… and well spiraling everything costs, how are the cool kids backing up their Postgres databases these days?
Soon…
