  • It's been a while since I've been here, but today I wandered in and hit the list I set up for people I actually know (as opposed to people I don't know who I followed because they posted interesting stuff). And I got "There is nothing in this list yet. When members of this list publish new posts, they will appear here." Yeah, Mastodon may be working for some, and that's great, but clearly _I_ haven't been missing much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Trying to buy a renfe train ticket in Barreda: The first machine seems to be a tele-presence application where you get a life video stream from some clerk: miserable audio and video quality. All we understood was to use another machine. Well, that one showed this error message:

  • Worth reading: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/08/14/everything-is-about-to-go-dark/ Will LLMs kill the targeted exploitation market and thus make the "going dark" issue pressing again?

  • When will the rest of the world understand that "Iran analysts, some of whom are in touch with regime officials, tell me that Tehran appears to believe that Trump isn’t interested in a serious peace pact and can’t be trusted to uphold one anyway." (From https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/08/12/the-us-forgot-the-lessons-of-iraq-now-its-desperate-for-ideas-on-iran-01033217) applies to all negotiations (including trade deals) with the US under Trump?

  • One of the premises of the CRA is the fact that you can share info on the existence of a vulnerability + mitigation measures without helping a potential attacker. In the age of AI, that might not be true any more if https://anil.recoil.org/notes/rumour-is-the-exploit is to be believed.
