Parution dans la revue COnTEXTES des actes du séminaire et du colloque organisés l'année dernière sur les récits de transfuge de classe dans le cadre du programme Transilangue avec @universiteorleans sorbonne_univ journals.openedition.org/conte…
COnTEXTES. Revue de sociologie de la littérature. Revue électronique. La revue rassemble des chercheurs adoptant une approche sociale du littéraire, toutes époques et toutes littératures confondues.
On a essayé, avec Karine Abiven, de réunir des collègues de différentes matières (et de différents pays!) pour décrypter ce qui est devenu un récit de société contemporain - et qui a, comme tout récit de société à la mode, a ses intérêts et ses points aveugles
Le récit de transfuge de classe est devenu un de ces récits "disponibles" qui circulent, qui influencent la manière dont nous percevons notre entourage, dont nous nous définissons, dont nous essayons de donner une cohérence aux évènements.
Ces récits comportent un intérêt certain : nous offrir des concepts et des catégories narratives dans lesquels nous pouvons nous reconnaître. Mais ils peuvent aussi orienter voire biaiser notre regard et notre discours sans que nous nous en rendions compte… On décrypte ça dans ce numéro!
Par exemple, j'ai écrit un article sur le décalage entre la mobilités sociale réelle et la mobilité sociale majoritairement représentée dans les récits de transfuge que nous connaissons - très souvent exceptionnelle, ascendante, intellectuelle journals.openedition.org/conte…
Quand nous pensons « transfuge de classe », surgissent quasi automatiquement dans notre esprit des figures comme Annie Ernaux ou Édouard Louis. Dans un entretien pour le journal Diacritik à propos ...
I can’t pay attention to Sam Altman for very long. it’s too personally disturbing.
I can’t explain why but it seems like if I’d had different circumstances in my youth, I could have ended up exactly like him: ridiculously wealthy and an example of how the Peter Principle can hugely overshoot.
> “I’d rather hear from candidates about how they are going to make everyone have the stuff billionaires have instead of how they are going to eliminate billionaires,” Altman wrote.
He really needs to explain this as this is so meaningless. Huge yachts and indentured servants?
This is definitely not the time to delay or dial back climate policy. The urgency has never been greater. We are approaching dangerous tipping points, almost 200 scientists warn. 🌊 news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-e…
World leaders must take “immediate, unprecedented action” to prevent devastating climate tipping points, experts say. The Global Tipping Points Conference is taking place in Exeter this week, and almost 200 delegates have endorsed a statement

Back in camp from a 5 day long mountain trip, the views are from Mt Pshekho-Su (2.7km). First time I go to the mountains like this, with big backpacks and all. Cool experience, the scenery is amazing from up there!

I am back online! 🎉 On friday at cca 12:00 we had a partial electricity outage in half of the city of #Prague and several other areas in #Czechia The electricity came back on friday at 16:00. But internet? #Vodafone was fixing it in my area until now, Sunday 16:30. For a #selfhoster like me is internet outage quite annoying, but now I am back online.
@psh the worst part was their support. You don't know anything. They have the web page to check outages on your address, but it showed all green up until saturday noon. Even though I called them several times to report the outage. And their support line. Uff. Nightmare. First you need to talk to a robot to get to the waiting line. But not the old one "press 6 for internet services". They now have something that recognizes voice inputs. So sometimes I ended up in a loop of "sorry I didn't hear you properly". And after all that, it sometimes just hangs up on you. Terrible.
C mistakes among the vulnerabilities present in #curl code
(C mistakes are vulnerabilities that were caused by a mistake that "probably would not have been possible" had we not been using C for curl. Manually assessed for each case.)
would be interesting to see it as two lines: vulnerabilities added before date, and vulnerabilities fixed before date. That way it'd be possible to tell the difference between "fewer vulns in these years because there wasn't time to find them yet" vs "fewer vulns in these years because we're doing something better"
@wolf480pl we can't possibly tell that. I mean, for all we know there are also N additional flaws not yet reported that could completely change the look of that graph a few years in the future. We can never know if we actually improved or if the flaws just haven't been reported yet. Well, until perhaps after 10-12 years or so.
@koalp better tools, more tests and us writing code better code (avoiding certain patterns, using helper functions etc) I think. But the decline is also relatively new, maybe we just haven't found those flaws yet...
@Varpie @varx @koalp I can't recall any, and I did scan the changelogs for 2017 releases but it did not bring any such thing back. We started fuzzing in 2018.
@papush there is no such specific correlation. We do things in the repo to improve things but vulnerabilities are often reported MUCH later so it is hard to tell what has effect, how much and when we can be sure...
who knows. The graph is based on what we know *now* not what we knew back then. We always polish, improve and add tests. There was nothing magic done in that period. Just iterative improvements.
I see that cull has a buffer abstract (dynbuf) which I assume is safe. Why does this not eliminate oob errors? Limitations of its API which make it unsuitable in some situations? Other reasons? Or just old code which was written before this abstraction was introduced?
This is something I would like to try to understand a little bit better. I started to use safe buffer / string abstractions in new code and I did not encounter any obstacle so far (except, of course, more work to build those types)
Sorry, if I am annoying, I just want to understand this better. I do not understand why so much C code does hand-rolled buffer and string management with open-coded pointer arithmetic, when this can all be abstracted away behind safe interfaces. What am I missing? Interfacing to external libraries certainly then needs conversion which could still cause issues, but this is true also for memory safe languages.
@uecker a) there is no standard "safe interface" for strings in C, it's all handrolled or a 3rd party library. b) we all do our best with limited time and energy and it is an ongoing life that keeps changing. c) feel free to help out
I am trying to help on the "no standard" point (and also compilers), this is why I am curious. Maybe social media is not ideal to discuss this, I assume there are many practical issues. But you experience would be extremely valuable. Maybe you have some time for some discussion at some point?
thank you so much for the C bug labeling and short taxonomy. There’s so much hand-waving discussion around memory management security — it’s nice to see real statistics from a significant project like cURL.
@isotopp I'm poking at a wasp nest here, but just for the fun of it, "if only you'd been using C++"...
🤷♂️
For context, @bagder and I had a quick exchange on C++ in the cURL code base some years ago, with the result it wasn't desired, and for understandable reasons (TL;DR).
Of course it means I didn't get to submit some patches, which makes a a tiny bit sad still. Hence the, uh, let's call it a tongue in cheek comment 😊
@jens @isotopp C++ would not really have improved anything as all the C mistakes can be done with C++ as well. After my years with Firefox C++ I am scarred and can only think of all the harm C++ can do. Handing over firearms to toddlers kind of harm.
Seriously, turning this into a teachable skill would be useful and probably also convert a number of learnings into something that can be referenced, named or addressed (and that would be useful to address other codebases and make comparisions).
Read how Tuta, the German project that guarantees confidentiality, stands up to Google.
When Edward Snowden alerted the world to the vulnerability of our digital lives, the company was already operating a secure email service from Hanover. Today, it has 10 million users and is offering an alternative model to the omnipresent Google environment.
Cuando Edward Snowden puso al mundo en alerta ante lo vulnerable de nuestra vida digital, la compañía ya operaba desde Hannover un servicio de ‘e-mail’ seguro.
Gracias. Dejo aqui la carnita del artículo, puesto que es de pago:
"En concreto, cuentan con un cifrado basado en algoritmos que son seguros contra ordenadores cuánticos. “Somos la única empresa en el mundo que usa estos algoritmos”, señalan. “En los últimos años hemos visto que se siguen haciendo avances en el desarrollo de los ordenadores cuánticos y, en algún momento, serán tan potentes y avanzados que el cifrado que se utiliza hoy en día en la mayoría de los productos será relativamente fácil de descifrar. No sabemos cuándo pasará, pero sucederá. Y nuestro producto ya es inmune a ello”, detallan.
Las grandes tecnológicas recopilan muchos más datos ahora que hace años. “Le estoy dando una imagen completa de mi personalidad. Hace 20 años eso no era así, porque no se recibían tantos correos privados”, recuerda Pfau. “Cuando empezamos, mucha gente decía: ‘Yo no tengo nada que ocultar’. Ahora, aunque sigue habiendo algunos que piensan así, es cierto que hay mucha más gente que se preocupa por este tema, no solo por las revelaciones de Snowden, sino también por el comportamiento de las grandes empresas que manejan los datos. Hay muchísimas filtraciones”, comenta.

Brits can sleep safely tonight, after the heroic work of the Metropolitan Police. The Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, a retired priest, was arrested in Parliament Square for holding a sign which read:
“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
Under British law, this now puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist. The courts may impose a prison sentence of up to 14 years, to protect the public against the existential threat posed by this very dangerous woman.

Just found out that George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, written around 1948, describes a "versificator" that composes the words for songs "entirely by mechanical means" simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/6/n…
There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, …
It's one of those rare pieces of SciFi that gets more and more believable as time passes instead of less and less.
The telescreen, the speakwrite, the versificator, invasive surveillance, editing npast newspaper issues to suppress inconvenient truths, we now have the tech to do it all.
Where most sci-fi from the 60s and 70s feels outdated now, 1984 (which was written much earlier) just feels... a little bit quaint in terms of the vocabulary used to describe modern technology, otherwise it's spot on.
As an aside, I wish we had a modern 1984 rewrite that took what we now know and have into account. Instead of telescreens and the thought police, mandatory wristbands with a speech recognition chip and an AI system that traces political dissidents via meeting location graphs. The original is out of the public domain in most places, so such a book could realistically and legally be written. There's one I know of from the 80s (which is just as spot on), but it was written by a Polish author, and, at least to my knowledge, sadly never translated to English.
"Save the world, write more efficient code!" - as if we need an excuse! But seriously, we are surrounded by sluggish systems. And this is not just irritating...

Tak podruhé na urgentu 😶 po ablaci srdce se mi arytmie opět rozjela až do tachykardie. Před lety 192 TF ted pouhých 154 TF. Nyní 92. Kdy se zas vrátím na svých 56 v klidu. 3 roky byl klid, prášky zahozeny, a hle...a vrchol všeho je, že se mi to stalo v nové práci po 3 dnech. Že by to něco znamenalo? 🤔🙃
Hele já už jsem asi starej a rozhodně nejsem cílovka, ale muže mi někdo vysvětlit, k čemu má ten telefon ten "displej" na zádech a kdo si to vůbec koupí a proč? vhsky.cz/w/hf3pRQbsPoHNZqHASkQ…
@archos No právě, když pominu to, že ten telefon je za mne strašně ošklivej, ale to je samozřejmě subjektivní věc, pak ten displej je vrchol samoúčelnosti. Fakt to nechápu. 🤔

new FreeBSD bridge(4) review: “bridge: add defvlanfilter and defuntagged options" reviews.freebsd.org/D51176
this lets you do:
$ ifconfig bridge0 defvlanfilter defuntagged 1
... which causes all newly-added member interfaces to have VLAN filtering enabled and be in VLAN 1 (only).
then your VM/jail management tools (vm-bhyve, …) can continue using 'ifconfig addm' to add bridge members and don't need to know about VLAN configuration.
fun fact: this is how most people expect bridge(4) to work already, but it is not how bridge works already! in reality, all bridge members have access to all VLANs by default, and before VLAN filtering there was no way to restrict this at all.
i wonder how many systems accidentally allow jails/VMs to access their host management VLAN because of this?
for that reason (among others) i'd like to make this the default configuration of bridge(4) in a future version... 15.0 may be too early, though. but we should document this better.
For Catholics attending #ACB25 I found what may be a closer Catholic Church to the hotel. Saint Cecelia 1809 W. Davis Street English Masses are at 7:30 AM and 11:00 AM on Sunday.
Actually my mom found a much closer church within walking distance (no ride-share needed!) where we'll be attending tomorrow. stjudechapel.org It's literally about a half mile or slightly more away. Walk is only about 15 minutes. We passed it on the way to McDonald's for dessert before General Session. #ACB25 / #ACB2025
@ChrisDuffley It was wonderful meeting you at #ACB25. Thanks again for letting me know about the nearby chapel, which I did go to for 11:30 AM Mass. I didn't walk it but it was only a six-minute Lyft ride.
For every moment in time, how many vulnerabilities of different severity were present in code. We know now because these vulnerabilities have been reported and fixed since then.
The peak is at 7.41.0 on 2015-02-25 with 85 vulnerabilities present!
I think you should be able to graph how many unknown vulnerabilities there's been in curl over time, but graphing the time it takes between a vulnerability being introduced and it being reported.
Based on that, you might be able to guess how many unknown vulnerabilities there might be in curl right now.
@richardstephens it's always been about gradually and consistently trying to improve, do things better, making it harder to do mistakes. There was nothing "major" done in 2017 that I can recall
Wow, you also like Miniflux! I encountered it accidentally, it was mentioned by a podcaster I follow, a sighted guy. I use the main instance at miniflux.app for now, but probably will migrate to your one or self-host.
Awesome idea, these personalised licence plate keyrings. I’d suggest adding a personalized home address to the ring; that way, the person who “finds” your keys can drive your car straight to your home.
I'm not sure whether this presents any new attack vector. If you lose your key far from your car, the licence plate on the key will not help anyone finding the car. If you lose the key close to the car, even without such a tag, the person who finds the key can keep pressing the remote controls and find the car that is locking/unlocking.
I just heard about Archive Team Warrior, where you can donate some of your internet bandwidth to helping the Internet Archive do its work. In under half an hour, I had the container running on my home server. The documentation talks about VMs, but Docker is also an option.
