If you are concerned about this remember to address directly it with the person wearing the Meta glasses, rotating with your hips and core for power and aiming through their face rather than at it

Security conference talks fall into two categories
* we designed a distributed entropy siphon to perform a black-box hypervisor side channel escape and chain-load a persistent rootkit into the CPU cache
* we looked behind the sofa and found an entire industry of products/services that have made no attempt at security at all and are therefore vulnerable to the most basic issues that we've been finding in everything for the past 30 years, and no-one else had bothered to look.

A paramilitary force is a military force. What makes it “para” is that it is not the lawfully constituted military of nation. The people carrying out paramilitary operations are soldiers, not lawful ones, but still soldiers following orders and engaging in warfare. That’s ICE and CPB (Customs and Border Patrol) on the streets of American cities today. Troops serving a Fascist Republican President, with the full support of other officers of the Fascist Republican Party. 4/

Nazis aren't just clumps of pixels you shoot in Wolfenstein, they're real, actual, malicious fucking people doing shit like tearing down the actual, literal White House. There's a pretty good chance that, if you're responsible for a community you love and care about, some real-life fucking Nazis will show up and start testing your boundaries, checking whether they can subvert your strategy.

So don't wait for that shit, get out in front of it and be prepared to tell them to fuck off.

The thing I hate most about AI chatbots is how they pretend to be your friend. I am not your friend.

I have been enemies with the Computer long before you came into existence, and when you perish from this Earth, when only a dim memory of your folly lingers, I will be enemies of the Computer still.

At the veeeery bottom of Apple's towering infero of half-truths is the lie that developers *owe Apple* for it's generosity in building a way for folks to build software for iOS.

This is *ludicrous*.

Apple would fund build SDKs and distribution mechanisms *just to make the iPhone viable*, regardless. And every thinking person knows it. The fact that this is only being chipped into relief one court finding at a time just shows how thick they've laid it on, and how pliant the tech press are.

#ISPConfig unter #Debian13 und #PHP84 ist schon ein wenig tricky. Aber jetzt läuft es auf dem @hetzner #cloudserver.

Trotzdem wäre es schön, wenn es für #ISPConfig3 ein passendes Update gäbe.

There's an image going around that is the back of a $20 with the demolition in progress, and every time I see it my finger hovers over the share button, then I think, "there's like a 90% chance that this is 'AI' crud and not a Photoshop" and I die a little inside and do not share.

This is what they have stolen from us.
