Seems to me that a new role has emerged for those who want a career in cybersecurity: Cybercriminal Troll.

Police around the world are making videos to scare the bejeezus out of scammers and hackers, revealing in a jaunty way how they are about to be busted.

Nice one Met Police.

Excellent summary by Solar Designer on oss-security of what's happened in the last two weeks in response to the #xz #backdoor:

openwall.com/lists/oss-securit…

Noteworthy:
- #OpenSSH implemented systemd notification
- #systemd moves to dlopen(3) for some dependencies
- another detailed timeline at research.swtch.com/xz-timeline
- similar social engineering takeover attempts suspected in #OpenJS and #OpenSSF

'Once it is accepted that electricity does not behave like a typical commodity, and that the urgency of decarbonisation exceeds all narrow cost-benefit calculations, then it makes sense to abandon reliance on markets altogether. Something akin to a wartime mobilisation might then take place, in which the state stretches its financial credibility to the absolute limit to invest in renewables at the pace that the climate emergency demands.'

What if the logic at the core of the SMR paradigm is faulty?

One of the key promises of SMRs is to move a greater percentage of work from the unproductive construction site to a productive factory environment... but what if large modular reactors do a better job of that?

Python has seen significant performance improvements in the last few releases. MarkupSafe has a C extension to speed up operations, but it's now *slower* in many cases than the plain Python implementation. Having a C extension increases the difficulty of maintenance, builds, releases, and installs. I'm wondering if it's time to drop the speedups. github.com/pallets/markupsafe/… #Python #MarkupSafe #Flask

Ok another viral Raya song - am being such a typical Malaysian in always being puzzled if we're a regional/international source of anything - so kinda like how our CNY songs always get attention from other sinophones during Lunar New Year, over the years our Raya songs are popular elsewhere too. Though I think this used to be mainly in the nusantara but i'm seeing it's bursting out into the wider Muslim world.

yyyanyway, after watching the how manyth Indonesian reel, here's the other Raya song from this year: youtu.be/UnBr1vwjacU

Verwaltungsgericht Düsseldorf: Das Ordnungsamt darf einen privaten Pkw, der auf einem Carsharing-Parkplatz abgestellt worden ist, unabhängig davon, ob ein Carsharing-Fahrzeug an der Nutzung dieses Parkplatzes konkret gehindert worden ist, abschleppen lassen. - PM VG Düsseldorf - vg-duesseldorf.nrw.de/behoerde…

Sometimes I'll open a website and it is simply unusable on iOS. This one, for example. It works fine on desktop browsers, but on safari, all I can see are the menu button, a lot of pipe characters and not much else. I had to use screen recognition to get the customer service phone number. Thoroughly underwhelmed by how little transparency I can get into the underlying code on an iPhone. This is why I carry around a phone-sized computer. americanexpress.com/ca/en/cust…

Helejte, po nějaké době koukám na zprávy (z důvodu mentální indispozice) a vůbec se mi to nelíbí.
Když jsem před mnoha lety investoval do Bitcoinu, vydělalo mi to dost na nové "rodinné sídlo".
A vzhledem k tomu, že jsem loni "investoval" vres £5k do podpory Ukrajiny, nechci aby to spadlo pod stůl.

Prosím, pusťte taky nějakou korunu, nebo deset.... Pojďme pomoct tam, kde to potřebují fakt nutně. Víc než my na pivo, kafe ve Starbucks a tak...
