@TarkabarkaHolgy @tschenkel @juergen_hubert TIL! Still, I find the test incredibly stupid both from the perspective of the future relationship and country governance.

Young people deserve better than a policy built on panic. We're happy to see France's top court acknowledge this and strike down the country's legislation banning social media for under-15s. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/08/french-top-court-gets-it-right-strikes-down-social-media-ban-youths

We have a partial port of GrapheneOS to the Pixel 11 series after a week of work on it. We're unable to complete the port due to lack of support for ARM hardware memory tagging in software, firmware and near certainly hardware. It appears Google cut an important security feature to save money.

Thought of the day:

We need more product testing teams consisting entirely of elderly people.

@juergen_hubert @tschenkel @TarkabarkaHolgy do you think similar politics are behind the one where the princess is identified by placing a pea under her many duvets and pillows? I've always found that one unsettling and an incredibly bad decision point.

(Now read it again and also suspect that the whole thing was just a cover story for the princess' lack of sleep, which would make much more sense?)

Everyone a happy random "ഊ" in your filenames.

That's UTF-16 0x0D0A which when read as UTF-8 gets interpreted as CRLF aka. a windows line break.

And when you used the UTF-8 function for trimming a string it'll break everything.

Oh and while we're on it also a happy "슜" which when read the same way will be "Â" followed by a string terminator control character.

Why I mention this? Well it just broke things. Also doesn't render them in the GUI.

New article: this time, we use Heidegger to explain why the "it's just a tool" line that often comes up in tech is so very silly:

Edited yesterday

The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/

But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://web.archive.org/web/20260828071449/https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2

I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.

EDIT: I linked to the wrong page! The second link is now fixed :)

EDIT 2: A/I's domains have been revoked! So added an archive.org link

Infosec was paid handsomely all these years and still left all these bugs lying around. Someone from the money side should be asking questions :PPPPPPPP

Today's story is the result of an ungodly amount of research, and I am very glad to finally be able to share it with you.

Authorities in Australia have arrested two men believed to be members of TeamPCP, a prolific cybercrime and data extortion group blamed for perpetrating the longest running spree of software supply chain attacks ever.

In a statement released today, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said two unnamed suspects from Western Australia, aged 21 and 23, were arrested in connection with a “sophisticated cybercrime syndicate that allegedly created malicious open-source software to rob thousands of global businesses.”

The AFP did not name the defendants, but KrebsOnSecurity learned the 21-year-old suspect’s real identity in June, and has been communicating with him ever since. This story includes interviews with TeamPCP’s self-described spokesperson, and examines clues left behind by the TeamPCP leader that likely led to his undoing.
