"I'm concerned about LLM code in #curl and would like to suggest a code ban"
In case you missed it, new particle just dropped. The LHC has confirmed (and in ridiculous accuracy) the existence of a heavier version of the proton.
A proton is made of 3 quarks, up/up/down. This new particle is made of charm/charm/down, where the charm quark is basically the same as the up, just heavier.
So not groundbreaking like finding supersymmetric particles, but still cool. Further confirmation that the standard model of particle physics is reasonable.

Hey Simon Gardner, James Pearson and Blake Morrison. That was not journalism, that was just Doxing. Shame on you. I hope you will never get a job in journalism again. And may your sleeves always get wet, when washing your hands.
the *european* payment processor - #nexi - that the FSFE was using for donations, was doing some disproportional requests violating the #privacy of the #donors to the FSFE, and in the fog of war cancelled the contract with the #FSFE. Now the FSFE is hunting to get those 450 donors attention and donations back. details in this archived mail: https://ctrlc.hu/~stef/fsfe-nexi.txt
maybe some journalist could shine some attention at this case?

in linux you can use the evil bird emoticon (:>) to destroy files, eg `:> important_document.txt`
the bird will eat the file and leave it completely empty!
Fun stuff from my team mates Rene Rehme @renereh1, Nina Piontek and @kantorkel:
"Via a large enterprise's AI assistant, we obtained access to several million Entra identities and all chat logs including attachments — no prompt injection or model tricks required.”
During my previous research, I identified a "Won't Fix" DoS vulnerability affecting the latest versions of Windows, including 25H2 and Server 2025.
🦀 Looking for Rust malware samples to practice analyzing? Our Rust Malware Sample Gallery just received a major update, with 20 new families added! https://github.com/decoderloop/rust-malware-gallery
The Sample Gallery collects links to articles about malware written in Rust, organizes them by malware family, and includes a download link to a publicly available sample for every malware family. This is a resource for any malware analyst who wants to get hands-on with real Rust malware.
The last time the Sample Gallery was updated was almost 2 years ago, in January 2024. Since then, there's been an explosive growth in new Rust malware, including all of the following families that are now in the Sample Gallery:
SPICA, KrustyLoader, RustDoor, SSLoad, Fickle Stealer, Cicada3301 Ransomware, RustyClaw, Embargo Ransomware, RustyAttr, Akira Ransomware (both the Akira_v2 and Megazord variants), Banshee (Rust variant), RALord Ransomware, RustoBot, Tetra Loader, EDDIESTEALER, Myth Stealer, Rustonotto, RustyPages, ChaosBot
This is nearly one new Rust malware family observed in the wild, every month. Rust as a programming language for malware is here to stay!
