@Javvad employees figured out tool use for effective problem solving long ago - we call it "Shadow IT"

" #Firefox recently rolled out a set of New Tab widgets timed to the 2026 FIFA World Cup"

1) No browser should time anything to any sports events
2) This is very annoying and I'm still not sure if I could disable it, because I don't have the button mentioned in the article #darkpattern

@hrbrmstr I mean, why not use GLM 5.2 in the meantime? https://www.provos.org/p/qemu-escape-glm-5-2/

Today I released C1B, the most personal app I’ve ever built.

Earlier this year, my father was diagnosed with lymphoma, and my family quickly outgrew our binders, Notes, spreadsheets, and group chats trying to coordinate his care.

C1B grew out of that experience. C1B is a caregiving log that helps families keep track of everything related to the ongoing care of a loved one.

1.2 billion downloads ran through pyca/cryptography last month. Nearly every Python app that touches crypto depends on it. If it doesn't ship post-quantum primitives, the Python ecosystem can't migrate.

We helped add ML-DSA (FIPS 204) for signatures and ML-KEM (FIPS 203) for key exchange to the library. Install and migration details in the blog. https://blog.trailofbits.com/2026/06/30/shipping-post-quantum-cryptography-to-python/

"France is currently glowing red with heat. Not metaphorically. Literally. Land surface temperatures in parts of the country have been recorded at levels more commonly associated with the Sahara Desert.

France. The country of vineyards, alpine villages, stone farmhouses, rivers, forests and temperate European summers. Looking like the Sahara. That should stop us in our tracks.

The real story isn’t that France is having a heatwave. It’s that climate change is making places behave like somewhere else. Places are beginning to lose the climate that shaped their buildings, their farms, their infrastructure, their ecosystems, their communities, cultures and expectations of normal life.

France isn’t built for the Sahara. Its schools, homes, hospitals, railways, power stations and aged-care facilities weren’t designed for repeated extreme heat. Its rivers weren’t meant to run so hot that nuclear power stations have to reduce output because cooling water is too warm. Its classrooms weren’t meant to become dangerous places for children to sit exams."

Following recent news, we have cancelled Mullvad's sponsorship of EMF 2026.

If you'd like to contribute to make up for the lost income, you can still sponsor EMF through our ticket shop:

Ireland is a wholly owned lapdog of Big Tech -- taking advantage of a cynical system that enriches one tiny nation at the expense of everyone else, especially in the US and the EU. It's pure corruption. Why do the many, many losers in this arrangement let it go on? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/30/ireland-big-tech-lapdog-eu-presidency-digital-sovereignty

@matdevdug One should also be careful with wired stuff during these crazy times: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2024/06/03/lightning-headphones-that-require-bluetooth/

It's ridiculous that Windows these days silently fails if it can't find a DLL. Instead of a friendly error message saying "Hey idiot, you don't have VCRUNTIME666 installed!", I have to break out Procmon or dive into Registry to see what's going on.

I guess this has something to do with all the "Download missing DLL here" malware nests, good that we granted Google monopoly in search so they can handle such ugly cases...

@aristot73 hot take: marketing is at the heart of infosec problems.

Google is apparently testing a new reCAPTCHA method that prompts you to turn on your device's camera to prove you are human by scanning your hands.

I assume this will eventually be mandatory, just like the current reCAPTCHA.

@jonny @aburka "nothing can be trusted to do anything because it never throws (so that the tests pass)" OMG yes, this is literal damned asbestos as code and it's EVERYWHERE!

It's the second time I wasted way too many hours figuring out that kdnet debugging doesn't work across #Proxmox VMs because...

...fuck knows why. When I do the same stuff with a new VM it just works.

Anyway, useful resources:
