The Algol68 compiler fronted has been merged in GCC and the very next gcc16 will ship it! Cant mention the author here, but good job Jose!

You can write '2' (0x32) anywhere in the filesystem of a Linux-based network switch. How do you get root?

That's basically what my talk at GreHack conference was about - enjoy!

It's 2025 and I tried to buy a book online:
- Had to register a new account
- Had to chat with a bot
- Had a card declined
- Fell back to rent instead of buy
- Got an OTP SMS
- Still can't download the book

I now have a pirated copy (took 2 clicks) and my refund is on the way.

Look! I made a thing. Maybe it'll help you make something too!

I got tired of wiring up input pre-amps on every new project, so I made a breadboard compatible module with a nice quality audio OpAmp. So if you do #synthdiy or other DIY electronics, maybe this can save you time too!

Pro-Tip, you can turn your crummy “consumer” SSD (mostly) into an enterprise drive by formatting it correctly.

You can easily get 10x endurance by giving up ~5% of space.

Are other organizations still getting valuable reports on bug bounty programs? Pretty much all of the ones we have received recently at PowerDNS have turned out to be AI lies, to the point I'm seriously considering shutting down our program. Legitimate researchers are almost always contacting us by other means, and I don't want to keep wasting time looking into false, impossible to reproduce reports.

👀 Before the #radare2 6.0.6 release during the testing stage I spotted a crash on Windows and decided to write a post explaining how I fixed it using only the cmd interface 👉 https://trufae.github.io/aiblog/WinCdbNull-en.html

As a UNIX person I'm not comfortable on #windows but i was happy to learn some commandline #debugging tools and shared some insights for #reverseengineering in my writeup. Hope you enjoy the reading!

Sometimes I just get an idea and it won't go away

Edited to add, since this is now doing Numbers:

Fuck the Tories, fuck the Labour party, fuck the TERFs, free Palestine

I strongly believe that constraints spark creativity and art.

Now that I'm browsing $webapp I realize that modern web is born from the rejection of the constraints implied by the original design: URL's are independent of state, navigation is overridden to oblivion, etc.

Now I truly appreciate hacks that show how you can slip between constraints, but it's not really that: we just removed the constraints entirely and now we wonder why we need an IDE, a transpiler and KB's of CSS to implement <center>.

hey fedi does anyone know much about reverse engineering fpga bitstreams? is that something that is doable? what tools do people use for this?

looking at a xilinx chip specifically, haven't identified the specific model yet, but it's one that's at least 20 years old

Ooops, I just loaded it in IDA :P Because fuck the software licenses :PPPP

Colossal blunder on my part this afternoon.
Pulled the drives from an areca raid array and
forgot what order they have to go back in
so now the array isn't recognized and RESCUE doesn't see it.
Has anyone documented the magic parameter sectors that describe this anywhere?
