Holy shit. For all of Apple’s greenwashing, they are flagrantly ignoring federal hazardous materials regulations and literally pumping unabated toxic waste into people’s homes near their factory.

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, in 2023, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into the apartment windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off the US EPA, who sent their env cops to raid Apple's plant in Aug of 2023. The US EPA finally released the report of their enforcement inspections & sent me a copy on Friday. 💀 ⬇️

I'm sure you know how "127.0.1" actually can become a valid address, but if you missed that, here's an old blog post of mine explaining the fun and games with numerical IPv4 addresses:

@p my blog post explains how it works. This is probably one of the smallest "dotless" numbers you can actually curl on the public web.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

@p they also have 1.0.0.1, that's a bit smaller, but i don't think it gets smaller than that
@p
in reply to ‏ ‎lexi ‮

@p wait, they do! 1.0.0.0 exists (allbeit a cloudflare error), and 0.0.0.0/8 doesn't exist, so 16777216 is objectively the smallest possible IP!

Truly worth it. I'm actually about to sell my Switch and its games (and I already gave away my Xbox after deleting my account - considering selling them but after playing with the discs 🦜).

Being able to play games from anywhere is one of the very very few ways to fight off platform enclosure and allows me to directly support independent game makers (by getting their work on Itch, GoG, Humble Bumble or Steam itself).

It's not praise for Valve. It's an acknowledgement of options and being more optimistic, we need concrete ones.

Open source is getting stronger in Luxembourg. There is also the "The LibreOffice Conference 2024 will take place from the 10 to the 12 October 2024 in Belval, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg and will be preceded by an open day for the LibreOffice community member meetings on 9 October 2024."

If you're wondering what the gambling gate news stuff is being used to cover. It's this.

"Tories instruct lawyers to fight release of Universal Credit documents ahead of election"

And remember the UK has the lowest welfare benefits of any European country. Universal credit is already spec'd to be punitive. Cutting it only punches down on the weakest and most vulnerable in our society.

Si trabajáis por cuenta propia y en algún momento habéis fantaseado con dejar la gran ciudad y mudaros a Soria a comer torreznos, este es el momento.

Acaban de sacar una ayuda por la que si os mudáis a Castilla y León, os dan 6000 euros porque sí.

Más 2000 euros más si es a un pueblo de menos de 2000 habitantes a más de 15km de la capital (como mi pueblo y tantos otros).

Mas 2000 más si tenéis menos de 35 años.

Y bueno, estoy hablando de pueblos, pero la ayuda también es para capitales de provincia, que siempre tienen más servicios. Vivir en un pueblo de menos de 200 habitantes (la mayoría de Soria son así) no es para todo el mundo.
in reply to editora

A mi por ejemplo me parecería terrorífico vivir en un sitio así. dicho lo cual, cada uno con sus preferencias.

Někdy od února mám mastodex.cz u sebe na serveru. Nyní se povedlo převést i doménu. V případě potřeby se tedy obracejte na mě. Mastodex jede od odchodu adenta z fediverse pouze v udržovacím stavu. Nicméně se zdá, že se něco chystá ... uvidíme 🙂

Konec dobíhání autobusů a čekání na zastávkách. V Česku se rozjíždí „MHD na míru“

Startup Citya zavádí nový typ veřejné dopravy – lidé si pomocí aplikace objednají mikrobus, který je zaveze, kam potřebují. A za téměř stejné peníze jako stojí jízdenka na MHD. Koncept se ujal v Česku i zahraničí.

in reply to Kolotipy.cz

Ta case study v Ricanech ten celej koncept pomerne dobre vystihuje. Mesicni prijmy 24k, to je min nez pulka platu jednoho ridice.

Kdyz jezdi 4h denne (mimo vikendu) a mesto prispeje na benzin, tak to nejak fungovat muze, no.

Ale Pepa se nesmi hodit marod.

there might also be an age-related perception bias coming in here too. In 1996 a laptop might have lasted a third of your lifetime - ages! And now it only lasts ⅕ of your lifetime.

But the latter is twice as long as the former.

Here's a user in the wild who was bitten by the Apple "backdoor" in #curl:

github.com/curl/curl/discussio…

#curl
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

Is 2 months normal for an Apple response to a security incident raised by the maintainer of curl? Or did you have earlier discussions with them? Would hope you’d have a direct hotline.

You say you were aware since Dec 2023. Do you know how long the back door has been there?

in reply to Callionica

@callionica they are always slow - I have no secret direct channel to them. I can only use their generic product security email. But they did respond faster than two moths, it just took them this long to come to a conclusion about this particular issue.

I don't know how long it has been there. It would not surprise me if it has been there since they started building curl with libressl, several years ago. (can't recall the exact timing for that)

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

wow. Been using curl and Apple platforms and did not know this. Your blog post is helpful. Thank you.

I think the workaround for intermediate/advanced users is fine. Anyone who does serious software things on macOS is/should be aware of homebrew, and using manually installed alternatives to the system-provided tools.

Blocked Applebot-Extended in my robots.txt today.

Apple support article.

I’m guessing Apple offered this option because community docs on GenAI-scraper opt-outs were starting to include AppleBot which was used for Apple’s search engine for years before Apple’s foray into LLMs.

what makes you think crawlers are going to obey robots.txt at all then?
in reply to eri :floofMischief:

Their own official docs and my access logs generally confirming that they tend to follow their own docs.

Googlebot-Extended and Applebot-Extended are a sort of hijacking of robots.txt for what should be an X-Robots directive, as they govern indexing/usage but not crawling. There is no way to reliably verify that these work.
