We have posted the YouTube playlist for Trusted Computing 1103: Advanced TPM Usage by Dimi Tomov in partnership with the TCG. Now anyone wishing to download the videos for offline viewing can find all their URLs here:

@freddy Not sure I'll be able to have the original trigger now that a media proxy got introduced (don't know if it works retroactively).

But I have an idea for a repro, adding then deleting an <img> to the document. I guess what makes debugging this difficult is that you need a point-in-time document snapshot to see the true source. Even seeing the <img> may not be meaningful without e.g. it's surrounding <div> with the post content.

It seems that Avast managed to settle the lawsuits related to their data abuse in both US and UK. While in the former they agreed to pay a fairly moderate fine, UK let them off the hook even easier. They are offering two years of free software to eligible UK users which is, quite frankly, a joke. It costs Avast exactly nothing, it allows them to email past users on a legal basis and gives them a chance to win them back. Really, who agreed to that?

- 15 KB native web browser
- 6 MB of RAM for the host
- 0 lines of Visual Basic (no C# cuz idk how to write it)
- no URL bar because surfing through 88x31s is more fun
- title bar kept cuz then u can close it and minimize buttons

@freddy Interesting theory! I do blackhole some sites but I doubt any URL of those would point to :3000...

@freddy This is what I believe a native FF log message resulting from an attempt to load from localhost:

"Local Network Access permission required: top-level site “https://infosec.place/”, initiator “https://infosec.place/”, attempting to access target “http://localhost:3000/assets/images/og-card.png” (127.0.0.1:3000) via http. Secure context: True"

I could reproduce it by scrolling a shit ton in my timeline (won't do again), but I think a minimal test case would be a simple `img src="http://localhost...` served from a non-local origin.

In that case though the source would be there in Inspector, but in case of Akkoma infinite scroll does some magic that prevents me from simply looking up the tag by URL, that's why I'm thinking if some kind of "stack trace" is available for network events that would lead me to the offending element?

@securestep9 It looks client-side so you could get the same info from dev tools no?

#Windows experts, can you answer this without trying:

How many times do you need to press the down arrow to select C:\Users\Public?

#UX #UI

Session timeouts[1] provide great examples of #compliance disconnects from reality:

When booking for events it *always* takes *days* to get from registering for an event and getting there to show your QR or whatever. And while an attacker who hijacks your session has 0 benefit from accessing it for a prolonged time, somehow #security finds it crucial that users are auto logged-out after 30mins.

It would take just a *tiny* bit of thinking to avoid making things worse for everyone.

BBC News has 4 YouTube videos up in the past day about OpenAI hacking “governments”, with approaching a million views.

If you want to know the technical details of this elite frontier AI hacking - these are examples of the actual OpenAI agent requests.

It’s really dumb shit. The story here is OpenAI are utterly incompetent at cybersecurity, as are their victims.

Re: this one I'm still curious how I could tell which document node triggered a network event (denied, with an img Initiator) I see in dev tools. I can't find the corresponding URL by searching in Inspector, DeepSeek hallucinates all the solutions, maybe @freddy has a tip?

@jerry @dey I can see the Initiator is an img, but I can't find anything seemingly related in inspector + network rectord don't tell me what code initiated a request. That's the status.
