My bank uses phone SMS as its standard "2-factor authentication" -- better than nothing at all but GROSSLY insecure compared to encrypted messaging that it refuses to supply.

I paid extra for an RSA dongle, but when I log in there's an option to use SMS, which makes the dongle completely pointless.

Crap security is standard in the banking industry -- because contrary to pious words, it doesn't give a damn about your financial privacy.

Today in #Valheim.
Plant the turnips. Harvest the turnips. Plant the turnip seed. Harvest the turnip seed. Plant the carrots. Harvest the carrots. Plant the carrot seed. Harvest the carrot seed. Plant the onions. Harvest the onions. Plant the onion seeds. Harvest the onion seeds. Feed the wolves. Feed the boars. Collect the honey. Forage the raspberries. Forage the mushrooms. Forage the thistles….
This has become 80-90% of my time in game and is losing its appeal. I think I’m gonna need to take a break and play something else.
A fucking garden in Valheim.

An interesting element of Marconi research is examining Welsh language newspapers of the early 20th century.

This Welsh article of April 1914 from 'Y Llan', reveals the developing terminology.

A 'wireless' in English was in Welsh termed a 'pellebyr digyfrwng' (loosely, a ' medium-less far sender'), with an added clarifying term of 'diwifr' (without wires).

Wait. Copilot will be taking over alt+space on Windows? That is not okay. How will we access the system menu that has existed since forever containing minimise, maximise, etc.? Also, wtf aren't they just using Windows+c or the Copilot key they forced upon us? theverge.com/2024/12/10/243182…

Issue filed with a reduced replication test!

github.com/curl/curl/issues/15…

While developing that test I discovered an interesting factor: the bug seems to only be triggered in combination with the `--netrc-optional` option, notwithstanding whether that option is passed directly on the command line or whether it appears in `~/.curlrc`.

I wish I could have strace'd into exactly what's happening at file parse time. Hopefully this is useful enough!


curl CLI v8.11.1 fails to offer HTTP Basic auth specified in .netrc when invoked with --netrc-optional · Issue #15767 · curl/curl

I did this Given an executable test script with the following contents named test-curl which will ruthlessly shove aside any existing ~/.netrc file..: #!/usr/bin/env bash if ((BASH_VERSINFO < 4)); ...

#curl 8.11.1 has been released. It includes a fix to #CVE_2024_11053 - a #vulnerability I discovered.

It is a logic flaw in the way curl parses .netrc file. In certain situations, the configured password can be sent to a incorrect host. Luckily the affected configurations should be quite rare and thus the situation is unlikely to occur often.

The issue has existed in the curl source code for almost twenty-five years.

• curl.se/docs/CVE-2024-11053.ht…
• hackerone.com/reports/2829063

No AI tools were used in discovering or reporting the vulnerability.

Donald #Trump Controls a Publicly Traded Company. Now He Will Pick Its Regulator.

There have been internal concerns that Trump Media could be misleading investors, a source said. But with its largest shareholder about to be president, experts doubt the SEC is up to the job of investigating Truth Social’s parent company.

Questo è il dato storicamente preoccupante, molto più dei dati PISA dei 15enni. Ma presentarlo nell'ottica di nazioni più o meno virtuose, come se il problema fosse che da noi la gente non c'ha sbatti di studiare, non aiuta a capire la situazione

#Catima 2.34.0 is out!

This release adds support for #Passbook (#pkpass) files, commonly used for event tickets and more!

It also contains some other minor fixes and better handling of image thumbnails (especially transparent ones).

On the end-user side, this release probably doesn't look that different, but it contains some major code refactoring. It is also the first release with #Kotlin code in it.
