Ahh that's why my nagios instance can no longer validate my OIDC tokens, the mod_auth_openidc module has gone full slop and can't seem to parse a jwks.

Ifyou want a slop-free identity manager, then consider giving https://github.com/kanidm/kanidm a look

I need some advice on flashing a bare esp32-c3-12f board - with probes I can get a flasher to connect to serial and read it booting, but there are connectivity issues and it wont flash or reset. Pretty likely ive wired it wrong, but there is so much slop these days I cant find the wiring needed. Any help is welcome :)

Does anyone have recommendations for a usb-c cable tester that shows what charging capabilites it supports? Most testers just check continuity.

OH: "you can swallow bolt cutters once"

Or in meme form, passkeys be like:

This may come as a shock, but did you know Passkeys are single factor? But also that doesn't (mostly) matter?

Why yes, I am causing problems again today.

Fun MacOS bug of the day - if you have a timer complete while your screen is locked, and you have set notifications on lock screen to disabled, then once you unlock the screen there is no way to access the notification to stop the timer - it's vanished into a black hole.

Work around - set a time for 10 seconds and then stop that, it cancels the previous alert.

My partner got a new electric toothbrush and it seems the head has a pressure relief valve so that if you "suck" on the head you bring in air instead. Im struggling to find the design and engineering why this is part of the design. Any ideas?

This might be the most unhinged crate I've ever seen https://docs.rs/decrust/latest/decrust/

For anyone curious it's 2.5g tartaric acid, 15g citric acid, into 1L of water. Replaces 1 of the 25g sachets for 1/5th of the cost.

Its not commonly known but all 737s have a standard issue furry on board that can be unleashed midflight to resolve technical issues onboard.

On a personal note: I'm really sorry this happened - I personally pride myself on the high bar of quality and security that Kanidm provides, and it really hurts to have to make an announcement like this. But we'll learn from this and do better. So thank you all for your trust in this little crab project. It's very appreciated.

IMPORTANT: #Kanidm has released 1.9.4 and 1.10.2 that resolves a CRITICAL security issue. This issue allows any authenticated user to elevate privileges to idm_admin/admin. Details: https://github.com/kanidm/kanidm/security/advisories/GHSA-xxwr-vvr3-2g9f

No need to worry about Linux LPE when you run win2k3 in prod.

Bonus marks if you can name which RFC I'm reading that includes this amazing tidbit.
