Oh dear the entire https://www.lyonlabs.org site is offline *and* excluded from archive.org.
It's a massive archive of vintage and modern GEOS and C64 material a lot of it seemingly not found elsewhere.
Indicators that your machine has been infected with a virus:
- The computer slows down.
- The computer beeps.
- The OS doesn't load.
- The BIOS logo changes. (WTF?!)
- The computer freezes, has BSODs, etc.
(I thought these were indicators that you're infected with CrowdStrike.)

It's the final Patch Tuesday of 2025! #Microsoft and #Adobe took it easy on us with a smaller release, but there's 1 0-day being exploited & an Exchange bug reported by the NSA. @dustin_childs fills you in on the details & where to focus your priorities. https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2025/12/9/the-december-2025-security-update-review
i finally gave in and started using uv to manage the dependencies for my Python scripts and it’s great https://jvns.ca/til/python-inline-dependencies/
MS advisories are live. Looks like two publicly disclosed and one EITW.

We derestricted a number of vulnerabilities found by Big Sleep in JavaScriptCore today: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:1836411%20title:JavascriptCore
All of them were fixed in the iOS 26.1 (and equivalent) update last month. Definitely some cool bugs in there!
V8 now has a (experimental) JS bytecode verifier!
IMO a good example for the benefits of the V8 Sandbox architecture:
- Hard: verify that bytecode is correct (no memory corruption)
- Easier: verify that it is secure (no out-of-sandbox memory corruption)
The sandbox basically separates correctness from security.

@buherator What are the best anti-scam resources I can link to? It's not the focus on Hacklore but I can make sure there is a smoother on ramp to good guidance.
