@alrs glad I have a Cannondale. One of the only two, at least as far as that investigation could tell, unstained.

Redefine "memory safe" to mean only "compile-time error" and "segfault" to mean any exception, and there are no memory safe languages. This tribalism where you make up a rule to attack just one is idiotic. Rust, Go, Fil-C are all great for their uses!

Some of these are bad, most are very impractical to exploit. All are fascinating.https://gpg.fail/

2026 is a semiprime (2 x 1013) and has the largest prime factor of any year up to this point that isn't a prime itself.Ok, I'll admit it isn't as mathematically interesting as 2025, but we gotta work with what we got.

FBI is spying on private Signal group chats. The Guardian article from a few weeks ago going around is a terrible article full of hysterics with no concrete details or any sane idea of security, so don't give them the click and I'll try to do so myself.Someone in the group chat has a hacked phone or laptop with signal desktop, or once scanned a bad QR code and all their chats will forevermore be owned or maybe they're just giving logs to the FBI or someone in their apartment is. It doesn't really matter.What can the FBI do with this? Any message the user sends triggers notifications to all chat members via APN/FCN (see: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/9c4047a90bee044255fdcf7c5c2e59f89f1ff5e8/service/src/main/java/org/whispersystems/textsecuregcm/push/PushNotificationScheduler.java#L305-L314 for example). The FBI could send a National Security Letter to Signal to demand the Apple/Google ID's of everyone on the convo, then do the same to Apple/Google to get the phone number, name, location, etc. of all the users. The NSL would prohibit notifying the users.Will members be put on watchlists, no-fly-listed, hit by terror (antifa) charges? I don't know! They could. This was theorized before (e.g. https://www.scriptjunkie.us/2020/01/dispelling-decentralization-doubts/) but now that it's confirmed, it's worth checking out decentralized, non-phone-based, actually secure alternatives.

This is dumbest, the most tech-illiterate thing I have seen in at least the past 12 months. You'd have better luck demanding Samsung make their TV's unable to display sarcastic tweets or Target not sell spoons that can eat ice cream.https://x.com/GovKathyHochul/status/2009020567798862203

There isn't one best path to get into cybersecurity, but "do it once publicly" is a really effective pattern. Want to work in vuln disco? Find a good 0-day and post an analysis publicly. Malware RE? Write a new sample dissection. GRC? Post how to avoid cookie banners under GDPR.Companies are a million times more likely to hire you for something you've already done and shown.And if that sounds like drudgery and you can't find any aspect you'd enjoy doing enough to run with once for free? Don't go into cybersecurity.

Everyone on the left in my feed today: "we hate ICE, we're even going to try to cancel companies that give law enforcement discounts, we're fighting the fascist authoritarians"Every Democrat and 1/4 of Republicans today: "we just voted to give them a kill switch in your car lol"

Thousands of arcane features each but neither AWS nor Azure nor Google cloud have a "don't charge > $100 this month" setting.A million ways to accidentally bankrupt yourself and no way to set a limit. What a curious omission.

Anyway, I'm not using a system where a typo delays retirement a few years for personal projects. OVH cloud's quotas seem reasonable. Any other favorites? Current project needs an API and hourly charges, not monthly, so that rules out most little VPS providers.

@vic And you can load specific amounts into it so it can't spend beyond. Nice.
