"Search advertising continues to be the largest form of internet advertising. Search revenue grew nearly 16% year on year."

$103B in search ad revenue (in U.S alone!) means results are ranked by who pays most, not what's most relevant.

This is the model Kagi Search rejects.

I'd offer ~$5k for anyone who writes a new Android Nextcloud client that literally just does and behaves how the iOS one does, not joking

There's a new Fediverse music streaming service showing music videos by small independent artists with their permission. You can view the channel at:

➡️ https://tv.theindiebeat.fm

It's like the old-style MTV but for the Fediverse 🙂

You can follow the channel at:

➡️ @TIBtv

The service runs on @owncast and you can find out more about OwnCast at:

I recently saw a lot of examples of using LLMs when you could get away e.g. with and API call, but now I think I found the perfect example of LLMs being more niche then even skeptics (like myself) think they are:

Even skeptics have to admit that LLMs are very good at natural language translation. @kagihq introduced a fast ("Standard") #LLM for its translation service that seems to fail miserably if you try to translate single words for less common languages:

My point is that doing a dictionary lookup for all words (~1mil for English) could be done on a disposable vape in no time with better results, incl. clear indication of lookup failures, so you can fall back to your GPUs when needed.

[RSS] Why is the last letter of my string not making it to the clipboard?

(I use Linux and X11, usually none of my string makes it to the clipboard)

I was away for a while, dropping my current side-project here.
Password cracking in your browser. Think of it as a mini-@hashcat it uses WebGPU to perform the cracking.
NT/LM/DCC/DCC2/MD5 currently implemented with bruteforce/mask/wordlist/hybrid attacks.

🔺This is the first talk I've given in 6 years – featuring formal verification of post-quantum cryptography, the evolution of the Secure Page Table Monitor, a view into Memory Integrity Enforcement, updates to Apple Security Bounty… and a personal note.

I'm parsing the #IDA type info library and it turns out:

- Sometimes struct member names are not returned. Sometimes!
- The first struct member is at offset 94489263476241, but amazingly the second one is at 8.

Just in case you wonder why I drink...

Edit: that weird value is somewhat random too, so I suspect a memory leak

At the https://gpg.fail talk and omg

You can just put a \0 in the Hash: header and then newlines and inject text in a cleartext message.

Won’t even blame PGP here. C is unsafe at any speed.

gpg has not fixed it yet.
