If you run a mastodon instance, it's time to patch! some security fixes in this release.
So let me get this straight... rsync made a *security release* fixing a bunch of CVEs, it regressed some stuff, people looked at the commit log, saw Claude sign-offs, and started a mob on the sole maintainer?
Yeah, this stuff is what gives legitimate AI criticism a bad name.
I don't like it, you may not like it either, but when people are throwing LLMs at legacy codebases and finding CVEs by the dozen, and a sole maintainer is trying to keep the house from falling apart... if you're attacking them, you're firing at the wrong person.
You know what's a bigger cancer on this world than AI? People incapable of seeing any nuance in situations. And this applies to absolutely everything. I'm absolutely exhausted of extremist takes. From every single side and point of view, in every single debate, AI related and not.
You all seriously need to touch grass, and learn to stop being outraged all the time over every single thing in this world.
It's been a while since I did a vulnerability research article. How about a little DoS zero-day as a treat?

Today I begin posting a series of twice-weekly blog posts describing security software I've developed for personal use over the last 25 years that may be useful for others who manage home or small business infrastructure using OpenBSD, Linux, and/or macOS. https://lippard.blogspot.com/2026/06/25-years-of-openbsd-security-tools.html
Just like last year, we replaced a whole wall of movie posters with our own punny movie posters at the cinema where RustWeek 2026 took place. I designed seven new posters for this year's event. See the thread below 👇

@sjfriedl Somehow we've been tricked into believing it's okay to have bugs if you patch 'em.
No, it's not okay to have these bugs.
I say this from the other side. Bugs usually get the minimal patch fix rather than an investigation of how they happened in the first place.
