Happy Global Encryption Day to those who celebrate. This year's events are brought to you by the number 4 and its friends 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, and 237. I'm glad we got everything patched yesterday and can sit back and relax today.

The details are now public, as of two hours ago. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi... The secret P-384 keys for these intermediate CAs are all zeros except the last 8 bits. All not-updated software can be MITM'ed now. IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever.

Stealing work isn’t a bad thing. 

 In Computer Science, it can even be quite good.

 In 1995, MIT wanted to win the 8th World Computer Chess Championship…really badly. Somehow, they convinced Sandia to let them borrow Paragon, the 2nd fastest supercomputer, to run their chess engine.

Killing Anna, a new production by Bellingcat and Keo Films, will be broadcast in the Netherlands, UK and Latvia this month. The psychological thriller follows a Syrian academic who, using the alias Anna, befriends a former Syrian regime official suspected of involvement in the Tadamon massacre.

With the last commit into DwarfStar now you can use DeepSeek v4.1 Flash in a single DGX Spark as well, with SSD streaming. Around 9 t/s generation. It works also dual-spark RDMA at ~22 t/s.

In this week’s People of ACM, Russ Cox, who was the technical lead at the Go programming language for over a decade, gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the popular programming environment. Read the full interview here: www.acm.org/articles/peo...

Frontier LLMs are much better and dramatically faster than I am at finding and fixing bugs. If you are not asking them to debug your code and review your bugs, you are doing it wrong. A thread of Claude wins. (No longer at Google, btw.)

A mysterious, never before seen island in Canada made waves after it was photographed adrift on Williston Lake, British Columbia before supposedly vanishing. Video footage of the island shows a thickly forested landmass undulating surreally on the water. But did it really disappear?

Before semiconductor RAM, most computers used magnetic core memory. This is the 32 KB core stack from the computer on Spacelab, the Space Shuttle's experimental laboratory. Let's take a closer look...

I’ve alway’s thought it’s a shame that WebAssembly has the word “web” in it. Gives it a connotation that it’s “only for browsers” or something.

 Meanwhile, NASA’s over here with a flight-compliant derivative (SpaceWASM) intended for spacecraft!

It was, in accelerated fashion, a parallel to how living through climate change is making Republicans far worse on emissions & pollution.

The dishonorable #Kentucky senator #RandPaul wasting taxpayer money on yet another kangaroo court for #AnthonyFauci today is a new low for the #US. #RandPaul is a disgrace!

Something that keeps me up at night is the amount of miscompiled software running in the wild. There’s a famous story, “the Core 59 problem” from Facebook where seemingly random files were missing in one of their Spark databases.

Yikes! It is shocking that there are no checks to catch these types of errors at inception.

They indicted a guy yesterday for posting seashells on a beach arranged in numbers

There are no technical or compliance reasons to double the size of symmetric keys in response to the threat of quantum computers. This common misunderstanding of Grover's algorithm risks wasting limited resources that should go towards deploying actually urgent post-quantum algorithms.

For decades, economists gave short shrift to the idea of monopsony — a power employers can have to suppress wages. Now a wave of research suggests it's everywhere, and a new book argues it's key to understanding today's inequality. n.pr/4e0RHRi

@rminnich.bsky.social did this cause any issues for the #plan9 port too?

“What I clearly see are people, who until now had no sympathy for the regime, siding with the Islamic republic – and thanking the IRGC for being the servant of territorial integrity,” said aninternational official living in Tehran.

@tinygo.org I created a few example file servers for PicoW. They use 9P protocol to expose devices as file system hierarchies. The can then be imported into Plan 9, or Linux, macOS/P9P. github.com/9nut/picow_9...

Making a prediction: #Epstein & #Trump were involved in #Russia #MoneyLaundering and not just #ChildSexTraffic . #Putin has #kompromat , but it would probably implicate him too (remember the #panamapapers?) It's the new #MAD doctrine.

Read our analysis of the video showing a US Tomahawk missile strike next to Girls’ School in Iran on February 28 here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Sounds familiar.

Anything to distract from the Trump-Epstein files.

It was @asharangappa.bsky.social who first put this idea in my head, but really starting to feel like they're gonna try to get Maduro to cop to some insane 2020 election conspiracy in exchange for leniency www.reuters.com/world/americ...

I'm protesting what #Trump is doing to the US in the easiest way possible: I have been cancelling my subscriptions to #bigtech. First #Amazon and now #AppleTV. It could be as effective as a #strike. It feels great!

Its whereabouts aren't publicly known, though it's believed to be in storage. n.pr/3YWyTJY

Online sleuths have tried to uncover who placed a winning bet on the Venezuelan leader's arrest to no avail. Still, prediction market watchers say the bet appears suspicious. n.pr/49F6A94

New research from the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative shows that both podcast hosts and their guests skew very heavily male — and white.

The Global Sumud Flotilla, with Greta Thunberg, Nelson Mandela's grandson and European lawmakers aboard, includes some 50 boats and 500 activists and is carrying a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid.

Wow! #KashPatel is real #PoS. What an embarrassment!

Hidaya Al-Motawaq's son is a year and a half old and weighs less than 10 pounds. Doctors warn of permanent damage to children's health due to chronic malnutrition from Israel's earlier blockade.

We announced the new native Go FIPS 140-3 mode today! FIPS 140, like it or not, is often a requirement, and I was increasingly sad about large deployments replacing the Go crypto packages with non-memory safe cgo bindings. Go is now one of the easiest and most secure ways to build under FIPS 140.

Palestinians say Israeli forces killed scores of people trying to reach food aid in Khan Younis on Tuesday in the deadliest attack of recent weeks on hungry crowds attempting to get food in Gaza.

I've used #mkcert to create a local CA on my dev box. Server runs on dev box, but client is an IoT (Pi Pico). Parties need to mutually verify certs and both should be signed by the local CA. '-client' assumes local machine. Can mkcert do this? @filippo.abyssdomain.expert

We Americans were liberated from $6.4T of market value in our 401K retirements.

Yeah, about that... tailscale.com/blog/plan9-p... That gives the backstory :)
