@gmcgath It makes more sense if you delete the “who” and change “that they are” to “and”. As written, literally interpreted, the sentence says the users are causing heart problems.

@GossiTheDog @gabriel log4j executing code was always a feature. A badly thought through feature, sure, but implemented as designed.

@mjg59 All depends on what you want.To be paid: stick to bug bounty programs with a reputation for paying and comply with requirements.To have it fixed: email them, but also tell then you'll disclose in 90 days.If you think it's likely to be being exploited in the wild, and you want people to protect themselves: publicly disclose.Combinations of the above are also possible.e.g. Submit via the bug bounty program, but tell then that you reserve the right to withdraw the notification and disclose in 90 days.

@mjg59 define ‘makes sense’. ChatGPT has no sense, except perhaps some sense of what common usage is. That said, I’ve seen reversed engineered code that has better names than the original code so YMMV.

@mjg59 if it’s not elapsed time since something, could it be accumulated time, eg cpu time?

@mjg59 Windows ME was about as close to the release of Space Invaders as it is to modern day.

@mjg59 are you looking for subtle OpenSSL bugs?

@mjg59 without knowing the nature of these bugs, presumably you’re either pushing the envelope of what’s normally done, or you’re bring more observant than the rest of us. Or both

@mjg59 gc: hey, there’s something wrong here. I know! I’ll make it so much worse!It’s at roughly this point I start looking for another copy of the repo.

A reminder, for no particular reason, that conferences don't just relocate. They are planned at least a year in advance, and often several years in advance.

@futurebird Maybe invent a fictional name? If you called it PULP, then those that don't know won't know (and won't know that they don't know). While those that do know will know _exactly_ what you're (not) saying.

There is the theory that scammers like to be a little bit obvious because they only want to deal with ppl who can’t spot an obvious scam. Maybe AI companies feel the same. @futurebird @jasongorman

"Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul - all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been - arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul - it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader." --Oliver Kornetzke, Aug 18, 2025#ALT4you @AaronDavid

Trying to make something new that looks modern pretty much guarantees that it will look old very fast - precisely because, by definition, what it means to look modern must keep changing.Looking timeless is less exciting, but it endures. @futurebird

For a period there, the pirate, I mean privateer’s favourite target was the Spanish ships returning from the New World with everything that they had stolen there. In sure there’s a moral to this, I’m just not sure what it is. @futurebird
