This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

🎥 New video about QEMU!

This time, Anton walks through the basics of QEMU system mode using a simple bare metal program! ⚙️

The focus is on understanding how QEMU’s high-level control flow works, from guest code to BIOS, and down to device implementation.

🫡 We’re back.

Today, we’re publishing vulnerabilities we discovered, disclosed, and chained to achieve pre-auth RCE against Progress ShareFile.

Enjoy the journey with us, while you sob into your hands 🫠

'people will finally understand that security bugs are bugs, and that the only sane way to stay safe is to periodically update, without focusing on "CVE-xxx"'

Anyone care to explain the logical flow of this sentence? o.O

TWO THINGS:

1. it’s shocking how well written this terms of service document is. #Microslop uses plain language and proper emphatic formatting to identify what’s important.

2. this was updated on October 24, 2025. since then NOT ONE TECH JOURNALIST has read it; because, not one tech "journalist" has reported that #Copilot IS MEANT AS #ENTERTAINMENT.

Fourth Estate my ass.

I see on HN that John Bradley, the creator of xv, has died:

The real announcements, alas, come from sources that I am unwilling to link to.

Xv, an image viewer/editor, is one of those tools that hit a peak of usability that really hasn't been matched since.

RIP, John, you made something good.
