Mistodon: when you wanna go oldschool, you can't beat the green glow of a P1 phosphor terminal. This embryonic #ANSIart screen, 'Born Digital', was drawn by @mavenmob and included in the MIST0223 artpack collection released three years ago this month.

Microsoft loves to play word games stating that *they* did not evict the chief International Criminal Court prosecutor from the cloud. But this is exactly what they did, and now they are trying to correct the UK parliamentary record, where they had tried to spin this (incorrectly): https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/18/microsoft_asks_uk_parliament_to_correct_record/

New vulnerability report from Talos:

OpenCFD OpenFOAM Code Stream directive arbitrary code execution vulnerability

https://talosintelligence.com/vulnerability_reports/TALOS-2025-2292

CVE-2025-61982

So I spent way too much time debugging today and this beer made me sentimental so here's a software success story:

I use motibro.com to sign up for trainings and I think they became SW Buddha (or whatever):

- The webapp just works
- AFAIK there is no mobile app, but mobile view just works
- The copyright info stuck in 2022, no one cares ofc
- They send notification with the right info, at the right time, no spam
- I can't recall any feature or design updates, I can basically manage my classes blind
- I hear no complaints about the software from any of its users

We need more software like Motibro!

This is me, arguing with rustc about various ways of setting one bit in memory:

so this password manager paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2026/058 starts with:

> We examine the extent to which security against a fully malicious server holds true for three leading vendors who make the Zero Knowledge Encryption claim: Bitwarden, LastPass and Dashlane

with https://sphinx.pm, we consider it - half-jokingly, with some caveats - normal, the server being fully malicious and it's fine have it hosted by the nsa/u8200/gru/prc

I've seen a lot of people asking for an option for "are" in the marshdeer xkcd-2501 generator... so I made one! Yay open source.

Today in This Should Be Easy But in #Rust It Apparently Isn't: how do I encapsulate the widget initialization (without triggering E0515) in this example, so it becomes reusable?

🎥 PTML: emitting rich decompiled code

Jack introduces PTML and how rev.ng goes beyond raw text, enriching decompiled code (e.g., decompiled C, disassembly, etc.) with HTML-like markup to provide richer and useful information for the viewer.

Happy Presidents Day.

Two weeks ago, the CIA shut down the World Factbook - a public
domain reference on every country, used by 6 million people
monthly since 1997.

We built a replacement:

May I present to you; a full copy of doom, running inside of a Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 save game exploit ✨

Thanks for everyone that came to check out our @districtcon Junkyard talk! We had a lot of fun putting it together. (check the thread for slides / exploit)

(No) surprise!

I think we all saw this coming... #Odido didn't remove data when they said they would, which we now know because it leaked out. Some leaked data was from customers who left 10 years ago, while they state they remove it after 2. Only 8 years late. Even the tax office doesn't need it that long...

OPNSense managed to destroy itself during an update, still people wonder why companies buy Fortinet...

What stage of #enshittification is it when Amazon adds a "Download Problems" option to it's Refund menu instead of fixing their system so people can download their digital purchases?

(Would it be ironic if I supported Anna's Archive with Amazon gift cards after I downloaded the books from there?)
