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.

help me complete my 2016 : 2026 lingo mapping: company : lab :: beta : research preview :: ? : however :: incredible journey : ?

i am 1e9% sure that any “opt out of training” settings are decorative. *how* all user data is mined and derived is an ongoing technicality for very expensive in-house lawyers. soylent green, i mean, synthetic training data is made of people!!11elf

another researcher accuses OpenAI of training on conversations and then claiming a breakthrough

who's got a ScanSnap iX1300 and is tired of being forced to use the vendor's bloatware for wifi scanning? i reverse-engineered its wifi protocol & vendor binaries into a single ~1300 loc python script. scans on button press, writes to disk, repeats. no deps, drivers, scanbuttond, sane or USB.

it became somewhat abstract: i arp-poisoned the scanner and my phone running ScanSnap Home, tshark'ed a few sessions, exported the pcap into ekjson and… read the whole thing into duckdb 2.0-dev i was playing with. it's a fairly clean sql query to select b64 jpegs straight from the pcap 🤔🥲

I don't think we've talked enough about this login trend using OTPs (one-time passwords) sent via email. My ADHD brain has enough problems staying on task as-is, I don't need you, authentication designer, over here making me open the distraction circus that is my inbox to dig up a six-figure code

woops, i accidentally made a transcription app? 2d ago: let's plot voice probability over time, play with VAD parameters and see how it influences segmentation and transcription. today: omg this is FUN. extremely in love with Dear ImGui and its paradigm. thx @ocornut.bsky.social, legendary stuff.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

i can not even begin to describe how grateful i am to witness this

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

New article on ★ daiz.moe ★ Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason daiz.moe/crunchyroll-... A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes! Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
