Github actions yeah but what about Github consequences

AdTech should hire the dev who implemented the tab mute button in #Firefox. This damn thing attracts my cursor like a rare-earth magnet!

Scovilles per pigeon

Really big scoop (I don't think @briankrebs knows how big yet) here - he's tracked down somebody who says they are Rey from Lapsus$.

I don't wanna say why yet as I don't have all the pieces of the jigsaw, but I imagine this is going to turn into a long thread over time.

@cR0w

well strlen() returns the amount of bytes so in this regard multibyte characters are not really an issue per see.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/f28340ee62c655487972ad3c632d231ee098fb7f/glib/gconvert.c#L1318 defines a char array of acceptable (meaning ASCII) characters.

Then it iterates over the dynamically allocated buffer and keeps track of the amount of "unacceptable" characters.

unacceptable was a gint (https://docs.gtk.org/glib/types.html#gint) which could therefore overflow.

To me it does look like glib could use some refactoring.

I just dug through a 9MB JSON to find a direct message I sent here, only to find the corresponding object link to be non-existent. Fortunately I had an accurate timestamp, that helped me dig up the message on the UI after about 5 minutes of constant scrolling.

All this because some genius thought that preventing me from searching my own stuff will prevent online harassment.

VSCode doesn't know the powers I possess!

Using a Pixel with GrapheneOS that features Inactivity Reboot, MTE, and more? — You must be a drug dealer. 🚨

Using an iPhone 17, which now also ships with EMTE, Inactivity Reboot, SPTM, TXM, Conclaves, ...? — Oh, just the average Apple fangirl/boy who gets a new device every year due to camera improvements. ✅

GrapheneOS released some innovative mitigations prior to Apple. Yet, it needs Big Tech to apply such ideas and make phones more secure at scale.

Abstract verbalizations about personal liberty, freedom of the press, and so on, will not be convincing in most parts of the world.

Has anyone ever heard of a phono jack connection detection that works in windows with headphones and a sound system, but only works in linux in the headphones?

This issue breaks my understanding of how phono detection works. How the operating system would have any way to distinguish between the two. And it sounds like some physical weirdness.

Anyone else seen anything like this? Please boost.

All human-authored art, regardless of quality, is vastly superior to soulless AI remixes.

Using AI art just sends a message that filling a space with *anything* is all that matters. How can you expect people to care about anything else you have to offer once they know that?

Hello from Düsseldorf. I am at German OWASP day and you can follow along too. There’s a live stream on https://media.ccc.de/.
Full program at https://god.owasp.de/2025/

Talks are about all sorts of appsec things, from langsec over pdf to passkeys and so on. All talks will be recorded :)

Came across this striking art piece in Bourke St Mall, #melbourne called Paid Attention by Huei Yin Wong. It’s designed to comment on the way the advertising industry profits from constantly taking our attention at no benefit to us. If you sit making unbroken eye contact with the messages about our attention choices on the screen, it pays out the equivalent of minimum wage for the time watched. Sitting there conspicuously staring at something silly in public for even less than 2 minutes was weirdly unsettling even though we’re constantly looking at silly stuff on screens

We made a new tool, QuicDraw(H3), because HTTP/3 race condition testing is currently trash. https://www.cyberark.com/resources/threat-research-blog/racing-and-fuzzing-http-3-open-sourcing-quicdraw

@caspicat yeah that too - google even has a special "wont tell you why we dont index this" code on search console. But I'm also talking about docs where you get like 3 examples but no API docs.
