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

Imagine going to the hospital to see a doctor. You wait for hours, then the doctors shift is over so they tell you that you are healthy and should go home.

This is how autoclosing issues feels like.

Today I learned that glibc has a broken %s implementation in strftime. It applies the timezone even when we want UTC...

I spend a lot of time discussing digital autonomy over at think tanks & other civil society places. I think we're going round in circles & need to look further ahead into more practical things to make any progress: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/eu-civil-society-need-progress-digital-autonomy/

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

@G33KatWork Maybe, but what does that array of pixels is supposed to visually represent?

Edit: Maybe it's a wallpaper resized and compressed into oblivion??

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??

Without the access I had to the internet I would be significantly lacking in terms of learning but also extremely isolated from any forms of socialisation outside of my immediate family. I cannot help but wonder what hope kids in my situation would fare like with this kind of policy in place.

As a teenager I was intensely isolated from my peers. I had been removed from education by a parent and, along with my siblings, spent all my time at home. I had little in the way of homeschooling.

The internet, and in particular social mediums, ended up giving me a lifeline. It was my connection to the outside world and gave me a way to socialise, as well as signpost me to subjects I could then look up and learn.

Can't quotetoot the original but:

This is a VERY CLEAR attack on open source projects. Why would random people be registering domains en masse for popular open source projects that (currently) only redirect to the authoritative home?

Why? Because they're building search engine credibility. Once the attackers have gained enough credibility, they will pull the bait and swap to an attack payload at the domain.

Exercise EXTREME caution with your internet searches.

I am collecting material, sources on LLMs and vulns before and after the recent mythical moment in time.

The (searchable) list is here: https://tzafaar.codeberg.page/

Take a look and let me know if your favourite source, paper, blog post, repo is missing.

Would appreciate retoots

One thing I've noticed after tracking down so many cybercriminals is that it's super common for the person's first sales thread on a forum to include data stolen from an organization in the country where they live. This is more remarkable when the threat actor is outside the United States, because it very often tells you exactly which country they are from.

You might think that this would be a very dumb thing to do from a self-preservation perspective, but a lot of times they are eager to make a splash on the forums and the best data or access they have is their government's data or some company working with their country's govt. And if you consider that many young people get started in hacking by sticking it to the local authorities and trying to make them look like clowns, it makes a lot more sense.
