#eurocrypt just happened, which reminds me of the eurocrypt 35 years ago held in budapest, which an #NSA cryptologist was attending and giving a scorching #report in the internal cryptolog newsletter of the nsa: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=2059

would be interesting to see the latest cryptolog report on this latest edition...

In a new feature, @TheDustinChilds takes a look at #macOS patches and tries to identify which ones should worry you (since Apple won't). Check it out at https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2026/5/12/the-apple-macos-security-update-review

Oh look, it's Patch Tuesday. Again.

"This is an elegant use of Rust's trait system to separate construction from operation, with compile-time guarantees that the right capabilities are available when needed." - LLM

Except both me and my IDE are in the dark about what kind of object Foo::new(obj) *really* expects until I get the compile error?

(Foo::new() only prescribes EasyTrait, but Foo::bar() requires TrickyTrait)

As someone who has been programming since being a young teenager, things like this make me enormously sad.

If I was banned from being part of tech communities until the age of 16 or even 18 I would've never been able to learn all I did. I would've never been able to truly get into FOSS.

I would've never had a chance to become who I now am.

Age verification is literally killing the ability for kids and teens to excitedly participate and learn cool stuff and learn how to have digital agency.

This.

I grew up on forums like XDA developers and started posting there when I was like 11. It taught me English, taught me what software freedom is, got me to write my first few lines of code, share software with friends and like-minded people online, and made me who I am today.

We must fight to keep the communities that made us who we are. There is still a way forward.

#Mythos finds a #curl vulnerability

yes, as in singular one.

@raptor I like to believe that people just deeply care about security researchers and they don't want to see us starving :)

@raptor @karinjiri This phenomenon even has a wiki page:

@Extelec Looks like a GTA glitch

Remember the old 2600Hz thing and how much money it cost AT&T? In hindsight, it was so obviously dumb to put control signalling and user-data in the exact same channel. We'd learn from that, right? It's so obviously a terrible idea that can never work safely that we'd never do something that dumb again, right? RIGHT?!

Oh wait. That's pretty much standard operating procedure with AI agents. Just jam it all in the same context, what could possibly go wrong?! Surely it'll be OK this time, right?
