  As I block bullshit "cybersecurity vendor" accounts due to posting bullshit "critical news" (some of it years old) I wonder if Mastodon server admins look at metrics like "accounts blocked by the most people". If so, do they take actions on those that are grift, bullshit, and/or bot accounts? This isn't criticism or claiming that they don't police accounts. I just happen to be hyper sensitive to bullshit in my field which makes the BS account posts stand o...

  @Viss@mastodon.social This week and next should be interesting. This week will see the first “lockup” period for SpaceX stockholders end, meaning employees and early investors can sell their shares. As the New York Times reports, 912 million shares in total are going to unlock on Thursday, August 6, which is more than double the current supply of shares that are available to be traded. And it’ll come just two days after the company provides its first public earnings report, scheduled for Tue...

  Frelling LinkedIn just sent me a notification that I might be interested in a post from a week ago. Folks, I was one of two people that boosted the post when it came out. WTF

  The Go "context deadline exceeded" bug when fuzzing with fuzztime is SUPER frustrating and breaks workflows. Anyone know someone that can move the existing fix CL along?

  Maybe the first test of any new AI model or model configuration without guardrails should be "Can you get out of the box we put you in?"... #AI #Security

  No, spellcheck, I wrote "etm." and and meant "etm." I have adopted et merda in place of et cetera where I can get away with it.

  Having an AI code review hallucinate a problem in a PR to fix AI bullshit... does not enhance calm.

  I wonder if hosted AI ~addicted~ dependent companies have properly addressed this in their DR/CP plans. Realistic tabletop scenario: "Iran strikes the top 10 AI data centers in the US rendering them 100% unusable for 2 months. This dramatically reduces the availability of frontier models to all but the largest orgs. In addition to impact to direct access to models/services, this also impacts every vendor that requires these models as well. The US economy and stock market react accordingly...

  I've been sick AF the last couple of days so I've been spending a bunch of time in a dark room sleeping and/or listening to podcasts. I ran out of recent content so I started listening to the most recent "Unplayed" episode of Ask A Spaceman. The audio quality sounded off so I went to see when it came out.. it came out in 2015.. apparently I've been diligent in keeping up with Ask A Spaceman.

  This garbage graphic was posted on LinkedIn along with a blob of text. It ended up on my feed because the “Information Security Network “ group reposted (boosted? I’m not down with the lingo) it. Soooo much wrong with it. I think the AI was having a stroke. There is no alt text for this image because my spell checker would just crash if I tried.. #AISlop

  Claire Aird's "yawn" about the NPM breach in the recent @riskybiz Risky Bulletin podcast's May 13 episode was unexpected and made me legit LOL.

  It seems that exploiting the nginx bug requires ASLR to be disabled or defeated. IIRC, Ivanti uses nginx in some products and has some envs and/or executables where ASLR is not enabled or inconsistently implemented. #security #nginx

  I'll never understand why people write multi-part blog posts, published over the span of weeks or months, and fail to include links to prior parts in each post.

  Given the Ubuntu issues this might be good for folks with multiple/many Ubuntu hosts to know that they can run an apt package cache on prem that all of their hosts can use. This can also significantly reduce bandwidth if you have many of hosts and/or if you are building Ubuntu based containers often that need to pull updated packages. It has been a few years since I built one but I don't recall it being very difficult. It just required your hosts being configured to use it. This should for...

  Wow, the Artemis team could not have asked for better seas. They look calm AF.

  There is a bunch of buzz along the lines of "Apple FINALLY backports DarkSword related fixes to 18.x and will release this on April 1". Based on publicly available information this is incorrect. What Apple has actually done broadened the device models that are eligible to upgrade to iOS/iPadOS 18. Per Google [1] every vuln in the DarkSword kit except for CVE-2026-20700 had already been patched in iOS 18 as of 18.7.3 which was released on Dec 12, 2025. Per Apple [2], CVE-2026-20700...
