A Dutch government department (not sensitive) has deeplinked an image from my website on their (apparently) autoreloading intranet page. It is a good thing I'm a responsible person (ahum). Here is the number of hits/minute, clearly showing the lunch break, and that far fewer people work on Friday, and that most visits are in the morning. This is a GREAT example of how much data you leak by putting external content on your (government) web page.

I post-processed a bunch of Univac 1050 software documents that were in the scanning queue.
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/univac/1050
In the 00s, someone on eBay was selling 7 track diagnostic source tapes from the basement of a Univac factory for the 1050 which Paul Pierce read for me. I haven't looked at the images in 20 years but it's probably time to see if I can print out the data.
As far as I know, this is the only 1050 code that survives.

This isn't a sexy exploit, but this is exactly the kind of thing that can ruin people's lives. Inform your network about how to spot these.

„For more than 20 years, we’ve been buying nothing else; our own industry has withered. We regret that the local baker, butcher, and poulterer have disappeared from the shopping street. But we never bought anything from them anymore, so it’s our own fault.“ - @bert_hubert
