I occasionally help an elderly neighbor get stuff done with their computer. And every single time, I walk away in incandescent rage at how hard we have made this stuff for people who have not spend their entire waking lives marinating in it

Can you recommend me some tool for performance testing of native applications to integrate into CI/CD? The idea is that I would like to test the performance change of specific changes to a code base. It's trivial to write, but I'm 99% sure something must exists, alas, I cannot find such a project.

a kind contributor packaged up #sphinx #passwordmanager for #archlinux - and even reported an incompatibility with py3.14 (hence the latest pyoprf release, from yesterday). so if you wanna give it a try, and were using arch, no excuse anymore.

NEW: There have been a seemingly endless series of critical flaws and cybersecurity incidents related to Ivanti's VPN appliances in the last few years.

Turns out there was a major one in 2021 that wasn't reported until now, according to Bloomberg.

You can’t make this shit up. And this company is supposed to be worth how much?! 😆

@Steampunk_Prof Yes i found that with SD cards. :)

The #NSA with the help of #philips #backdoored (again!) a european military messaging #device in the 80ies, a few years ago the fine people of the #cryptomuseum published everything they knew about it - including a #firmware dump:

back then i #reverseEngineered this, and last week finally cleaned it up, and publish it today:

update: it's a thread: 1/n

I think the reason why some people really like things like OpenClaw is just because of the fact that they seem ... liberating in a way. The idea of you being able to have your own interface, commands, and automations, all customised, open, running on your own systems ... it's like a dream. It's also simply _impossible_ using the current incentives in society (which will probably start abusing DRM APIs to prevent you from automating screen taps and stuff), and just so absurdly dangerous ...

You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:

• Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships — they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
• C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhäuser Gate.
• Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.

The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.

Spammers run rampant against the archive, trying their best to post advertisements and tricky links outward to sketchy sites. They've been doing it for years, and there's mitigations I and others work to keep it contained and miminal. Recently, someone is trying to break out of containment and is posting literally thousands of items a day.
