France to kick out Palantir out of intel service networks
Oh cool, the Firefox Roadmap is public and includes some experimental & upcoming features that people can play with RIGHT NOW.
We're excited to share that Firefox now uses zlib-rs for gzip (de)compression. This has both performance and safety advantages, but it took a while to get zlib-rs into production. Read why in Folkert's blog: https://trifectatech.org/blog/zlib-rs-in-firefox/

We're hosting a free virtual workshop/webinar on idalib — IDA as a library. Call IDA's analysis engine directly from your own code, automate workflows without launching the GUI, and integrate IDA into any toolchain you're already running.

well this is the scariest thing my work computer has ever done. I didn’t even know it was structurally possible for popup windows to appear over the Windows Update screen

I can't believe that we live in a timeline where the thing people go most apeshit for in the world is a repository that literally consists of 77 lines of markdown that literally just say "don't write code that is pointless to write" in 6 bullet points
Okay, could someone explain something to me please?
Why did ANYONE ever think “guardrails” would work?
We all know that blocklisting is suboptimal because you can’t possibly enumerate all the badness (see also: antivirus). And anyone who has had to write a statement of work that includes application security requirements knows how impossible THAT is without adding a whole textbook as an appendix. (Or just writing “Don’t do stupid shit with the code,” which covers it pretty broadly.)
Don’t do that. Or that. Or that, either. And not like that. Oh, we didn’t know you could do that! Don’t do that.
Seriously, why??
I have just published a new bug fixes minor release for #Diaphora, version 3.4.1.
