"I miss the insanity of 80s processor design.

Intel’s iAPX 432 was a 'micromainframe'.

It had no general purpose registers, supported object orientation *directly*, and performed garbage collection on-chip." - Also by @lauriewired

The i960 post by @kenshirriff is also worth checking out if you are interested in revolutionary architectures that just didn't really make it (while some concepts are still working in #IBMi and #CHERI I guess?):

🆕 New blog post! It's a rather short one, nothing crazy. Just wanted to share a random finding I made recently. 🤷‍♂️

'Hijacking the Windows "MareBackup" Scheduled Task for Privilege Escalation'

@nicemicro @Hazzbenn @twipped "I could literally go, and buy a hundred books," -> The keyword here is "buy".

To elaborate on intent: Little Girl likely won't/can't eat all the empty cones but wants to resell them (or give them away to 5000 buddies at the expense of Ice Cream Man).

As for your second reply, doing statistics _at this scale_ allows producing cheap replacement of the original works which is the CD ripping/compression problem discussed above.

@nicemicro @Hazzbenn @twipped I think this is the "copyright can't prevent learning from a book" argument which I like to respond to with a joke:

Little Girl: Ice Cream Man, how much is for an empty cone?
Ice Cream Man: Oh, you can get an empty cone for free!
Little Girl: Great, then I'd like 5000 of them!

In other words, scale (that can imply intent) matters.

The two #curl CVEs we publish today are both rated medium and affect QUIC connections when curl is built to use wolfSSL

Hiroki Kurosawa reported both and he is rewarded 2540 USD for each from the curl bug-bounty.

With these two, the total bug-bounty payout from #curl now exceeds 90,000 USD over the last few years.

(thanks to IBB for sponsoring our bug-bounty program!)

The WAPBackMachine works! There are lots of WAP sites in the waybackmachine. It seems that the WBM crawler actually followed links on WAP sites, despite them not being HTML, which means that there is a lot to find if you know where to look!

Spent way too long figuring out why a payload wouldn't work.

Given the recent data breach and Coinbase’s user agreement that aims to force customers into arbitration rather than individual or class action lawsuits, it’s interesting to read the outcome of a recent arbitration case against Coinbase.
