Anyone happens to know if there's any easy trick to bypass an Incapsula "security firewall" that thinks downloading with curl/wget is an attack to be prevented? (It's not just the user agent, I tried that.)
rsync: 6 CVEs https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/01/14/3
Two independent groups of researchers identified a total of 6 CVEs in rsync. In the most severe CVE (affects rsync 3.2.7+), an attacker only requires anonymous read access to a rsync server, such as a public mirror, to execute arbitrary code.
Time to upgrade #ApacheTika to 3.2.2.

Today I have a more serious topic than usual, please consider reposting for reach:
My wife and I are urgently looking for a specialist in neuropediatrics or a similar field for our autistic child with a diagnosed, but not further specified, movement disorder (myoclonus and/or spasms) to finally find a cause and, above all, an effective therapy. The symptoms are bothering our son ever since he’s born, now for more than nine years, seriously affecting his sleep. The usual processes and medical contact points have failed us unfortunately and he seems stuck in this condition.
We’re based in Berlin, Germany but really any contact with a specialist who would be willing to take on this case we’d be grateful for!
To reach use you can DM me or contact us via Email at unclear.condition@gmail.com

Because we all know what happens when your VP of Finance decides to prep the W2’s on their kids Alienware gaming desktop full of Minecraft plugins downloaded from every corner of the internet.
