I think there's "bad" in the sense that it didn't accomplish the goal of selling a product (maybe not the case here) and "bad" in the sense that it made many readers cringe or was …

It's just a jump to the left...

Boy would I love to see the incident report for these types of incidents. It seems to happen once or twice a year for some airline and yet things never seem to get better.

I work in the field and I just cannot believe anyone would pay that much for a Word Press exploit. People pay money for iOS or Android because there is valuable information stored …

Still has a paywall for me.

Not exactly. My doctor wanted to start me on a medicine that would make me more likely to develop shingles so he asked me to get the vaccine series before he'd prescribe the medici…

I appealed a warning I was given for quoting a Simpsons episode (promoting violence, Reddit-wide and not from a sub) and was my appeal was granted.

Responding to bug bounty reports is a thankless job. Especially these days it's a flood of AI spam, language barriers, "pay me first", incomplete reports, huge egos, and people who…

I had Claude code up a Slack bot so I could play any Z-machine game co-op with friends. We started up Zork 1, wandered the available map, made it to the cellar, walked north, and h…

Krebs was fired in 2020, not 2025.

Now imagine if the power is out and cell service is down. We saw that happen in San Francisco and it was chaos.

The absence of any explanation for the suspension does seem intentional. If it were me that's one of the first things I would've asked so that I could make sure it doesn't happen a…

The exploit they chose assumes ASLR is disabled for simplicity's sake, but if you read the full writeup they say they could've used the vulnerability to map memory layout. It's nic…

The guy also had to plug in an old hard drive for Claude to search. Sounds like he had an idea the wallet was on there to begin with.

I can't believe any town would vote for a paper mill. It smells like a paper mill.

It's worse when your region has issues and your customer's infrastructure is fine.

I watched the talk as well and it's very interesting. But isn't this just a buffer overflow in the NFS client code? The way the LLM diagnosed the flaw, demonstrated the bug, and wr…

I honestly think there's more going on here. It seems to be primarily the vain billionaires that are going off the deep end. I experimented with stimulants when I was young and I r…

One of the exploits writes a public key to the authorized_keys file, so it does require SSH be open as well.

And some Canada Gooses too?

Ironically, Trivy was the first known compromised package and its purpose is to scan container images to make sure they don't contain vulnerabilities. Kinda like the LLM in your sc…

Kids aren't stupid. They'll just create another account when they're old enough to figure it out. They'll tell their friends how to do it and the rest of us will be stuck with thes…

Absolutely. They kinda brag about it now. But I think it was just the founders making multiple accounts. It sounds like the new Digg was worried about bots scaring people away from…

One of the things I always disliked about the original Digg was their threading. The slashdot like feed where the oldest comments were at the top and there was only one level of re…

DESQview was absolutely not crashy. I ran several different types of BBS software in it without issues. The "DESQview (or worse...)" comment raised the hair on the back of my neck.…
