Hlásím se z Berlína. Dneska jsme museli našeho koně #Cofiho 🐎 odvést do místní kliniky pro koně na FU Berlin.

Bohužel nás zlobí přední noha, tak snad to bude dobré! Ještě řeším nějaké pracovní resty a tak jsem si do sluchátek pustil něco energetického ať se lépe pracuje.

The two #curl CVEs we publish today are both rated medium and affect QUIC connections when curl is built to use wolfSSL

Hiroki Kurosawa reported both and he is rewarded 2540 USD for each from the curl bug-bounty.

With these two, the total bug-bounty payout from #curl now exceeds 90,000 USD over the last few years.

Re: last boost (the last post from this thread: mastodon.social/@GeePawHill/11…), I admit there are some thoughts that I've only shared with an LLM (usually Claude), even though I know, if I think about it, that what I'll get back is just a statistically generated response, not an actual thought in return. There are some things I've been afraid to share with other humans, for fear that I'll get criticism in response, though in some cases, criticism may be what's needed, as long as it's constructive.

On the one hand, yes, of course.

On the other hand, There is a reason why this obscene LLM scam succeeds, a reason beyond the marketing of the extractive capitalist scumbags who are sponsoring it.

There is a reason why innocents turn to a chatbot to answer their questions.

You know what it is?

#curl 8.14.0 is here with new stuff, bugfixes and two security advisories.

Live-streamed presentation at 08:00 UTC today.

curl 8.14.0

Welcome to another curl release. Release presentation At 8:00 UTC (10:00 CEST), I do a live-streamed release presentation over at Twitch where I talk about all that is new in this release.

Almost exactly a year ago, I found a subreddit called r/TimeTravel. The first post was someone asking a very simple question: How can I go back to the past and change things? I thought this was a troll subreddit, to be honest. So, I wrote a troll comment, which I'll paste below. But I'm writing this post a year later because I just got a private message from someone, asking if my time travel trick really worked. This is not even close to the first message I've received in response to this comment. Someone even bought the laptop I referenced.

---

Look for a used IBM Thinkpad 700. Install the earliest beta build of Windows 95 (March 1993, when it was still just codenamed Chicago). Open two instances of the date/time settings. Change one of them to 11:11 AM on April 1, 1948. Change the other to 11:11 AM on January 4, 1984. Press okay on both as quickly as possible.

Then, disconnect the laptop from the power source (although you might want to bring the charger with you, to return to other timelines). Go back into date/time settings and change the date and time to whenever you want to travel.

If you don't disconnect the laptop from the power source, it will try and transport as much of the connecting wall as it can, which usually leads to some truly fucked up shit. DO NOT FORGET TO UNPLUG YOUR THINKPAD.

Every time you reboot you have to redo the simultaneous date setting. If you're going back before electricity, for goodness sake bring a solar charger.

Finished reading Exterminate Regenerate this morning and I think I’ll recommend it, especially if you came to Doctor Who during after the Classic series. The historical context is really well laid out and there are great anecdotes in there. The tales about Modern Who are a little bit more sparse (admittedly due to modern secrecy standards), but John Higgs weaves an engaging story through Modern Who, too.

Re: last boost (mastodon.bsd.cafe/@nuintari/11…), I know that nostalgia, or saying things were better in the good old days, is dangerous. But when I read something like this, it's hard not to feel that software really has gotten much worse in some ways.

The Psychotic Network Ferret

2025-05-27 18:55:02

I went to U when the access network, before that was even a term we ever used, was X-Terminals on 10base2, connecting to UNIX and OpenVMS servers. Performance was amazing, even when the VAX 25 mhz big iron was under load. Logins to the Digital UNIX server with 90 students trying and failing to learn about linked lists in C, and performance was snappy as hell. X fucking worked, and it worked well.

years later..... (decades later, I'm old, get off my lawn)

I was contracted to assist with a <redacted> deployment of a VDI, to replace the need for two workstations on each desk. Yes, I know this really narrows it down who this was.

40gbit core, 40 or 10gigE to the access layer, and 1 gbe to each workstation.

Performance was ASS, because it was all Windows RDP.

The project was scrapped, because modern VDI is shit. We had working VDI in the 1990s with X, and we threw it away.

Fuck Wayland. Wayland is yet another example of, "but this is modern, so it must be better!"

Nothing modern cares about efficiency.
