The amount of political texts I get addressed to the previous owner of my US phone # is incredible. I also know nontrivial information about that person: political preferences, rough neighborhood where they live, etc

Trespassing in the County of Middlesex moment

For the nonlawyers: This is an accurate description of the DOJ's position. Legally, as they frame it, it is an "Air Bud" argument - new, but no rule against it. It's simultaneously bananapants clownshoes crazy and morally reprehensible.

I'd like to call your attention to the existence of this banner on I-90 mile 122 in Wisconsin, just north of Madison. To the best of my understanding, it advertises a gas station in Tennessee(!?) Buc-ee’s (somewhat successful) attempt to make a cult out of a fuel station is something I don't get.

the world in which I was born no longer exists, instagram (incorrectly) translated "электричка" (EMU, by extension: any regional train) as "electric car". Which is a meaning that didn't exist ten years ago

and the religiosity clearly reads as "more muslims" btw

Of course this unscientific nonsense was used to support the very patriarchal ideas on how the people ought to behave: young women shouldn’t sleep with men before marriage coz “he ain’t a father material girl” and men should marry virgins. Conveniently, the men can otherwise do whatever.

In case you’re blessed by the ignorance; the idea is that a child might inherit not after their father, but after another man who the woman slept with before.

It was illustrated with an anecdote about a white woman who married a white man and gave birth to a black child because she used to have a black bf before marriage. There was no names and of course the obvious possible explanation to this phenomenon wasn’t considered at all.

So, with respect to the yesterday’s eMudhra compromised certificate: their private keys had all zeros after 8th bit. So one of the secret numbers was 4. All of the others were under 256 too. I assume this to be stupidity though we do have a history of the encryption being undermined deliberately

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.

If you make HTTPS requests or have other TLS clients and care about MITM attacks, you need to update today. If you run Go: go get go@1.27.3 If you run Homebrew: brew update brew install ca-certificates If you run Linux, maybe stay off the internet for now.

I think this one guy might be too powerful. (Also why the bullshit excuses about how this isn’t the Starshield)

The thing that’s most upsetting here is that there is no appeal to the results at all. There is no attempt to demonstrate that the results are bad for this or that marginalized community; the process is the thing that matters; not the results

how do you write this?! how do you not realize you are the fucking problem here?! you are the one doing things worse! they are better at this than you!

Like a true Dutchman I do have an AH bag even very far from home. To be honest I saw someone with a (now-withdrawn) cotton AH bag yesterday on the train
