@crcollins unfortunately part of the problem is that the independet stores UX was simply shit as if they didn't really want my money...

Every Sora AI vid. burns 1 kW hour & emits 466 grams of carbon. The Sora 2 platform alone emits nearly a quarter of the carbon of all Meta/Facebook.

The Algol68 compiler fronted has been merged in GCC and the very next gcc16 will ship it! Cant mention the author here, but good job Jose!

You can write '2' (0x32) anywhere in the filesystem of a Linux-based network switch. How do you get root?

That's basically what my talk at GreHack conference was about - enjoy!

It's 2025 and I tried to buy a book online:
- Had to register a new account
- Had to chat with a bot
- Had a card declined
- Fell back to rent instead of buy
- Got an OTP SMS
- Still can't download the book

I now have a pirated copy (took 2 clicks) and my refund is on the way.

@zhuowei calc was reworked to an uwp (?) thing that did cause some frustration! I usually aim for notepad (not for long with the copilot crap) or mspaint these days...

Look! I made a thing. Maybe it'll help you make something too!

I got tired of wiring up input pre-amps on every new project, so I made a breadboard compatible module with a nice quality audio OpAmp. So if you do #synthdiy or other DIY electronics, maybe this can save you time too!

@pancake You can generate the XML when you generate HTML, then there are RSS->Fedi bots that will bridge it to Fedi for you.

Pro-Tip, you can turn your crummy “consumer” SSD (mostly) into an enterprise drive by formatting it correctly.

You can easily get 10x endurance by giving up ~5% of space.

@pancake I had a lot of fun writing a PowerShell module to expose the cdb engine into PowerShell itself so you could use the full features of the shell rather than be stuck in cdb's implementation of one: https://www.leeholmes.com/extracting-forensic-script-content-from-powershell-process-dumps/

Also, this other project hasn't seen a lot of love recently, but I love the idea: a shell that exposes cdb information as structured data, letting you CD into stack traces, etc.: https://github.com/microsoft/DbgShell

@paulehoffman @rgacogne Based on what I saw in case of cURL reports shared by @bagder this is pretty much guaranteed to result in more slop replies trying to defend their homework.

Are other organizations still getting valuable reports on bug bounty programs? Pretty much all of the ones we have received recently at PowerDNS have turned out to be AI lies, to the point I'm seriously considering shutting down our program. Legitimate researchers are almost always contacting us by other means, and I don't want to keep wasting time looking into false, impossible to reproduce reports.

@pancake @mmu_man My feature request would be RSS (or Atom) :)

@pancake The comments about WinDbg are appropriate 😅 I never tried this but you may be able to inject a gdb stub into your process with Frida so you can use gdb at least for live debugging?

👀 Before the #radare2 6.0.6 release during the testing stage I spotted a crash on Windows and decided to write a post explaining how I fixed it using only the cmd interface 👉 https://trufae.github.io/aiblog/WinCdbNull-en.html

As a UNIX person I'm not comfortable on #windows but i was happy to learn some commandline #debugging tools and shared some insights for #reverseengineering in my writeup. Hope you enjoy the reading!

Sometimes I just get an idea and it won't go away
