I keep getting emails like this, and while it's easily filtered/blocked, I'd rather fuck up their plans too.

Is there a specific email to forward those North Korean espionage ops to?

I would think CISA but after https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/05/cisa-admin-leaked-aws-govcloud-keys-on-github I'm not touching them with 7 proxies.

It looks like the community needs someone to hard-fork systemd as soon as possible. I do *not* envy the schlemiel who has to step up and be that someone. They're going to be getting shat on by at least five different constituencies, at once and for the foreseeable future.

(Do not @ me about openrc, runit, s6, The Shepherd, or any other alternative init system that isn't a drop-in replacement. It's the same deal as what I keep having to say about alleged PGP replacements and RFC 822 email.)

@aredridel It's not dissimilar for arguments around performance enhancing drugs. It's arbitrary that caffeine is allowed and other drugs aren't, and that's fine! And one of the reasons it's unfair is because athletes should be playing the sport under the same set of arbitrary rules.

So if I understand correctly:

The IETF TLS-WG and Last-Call mailing lists be like:

• Concern-trolling over vague process stuff in order to drag an informational, recommended=N RFC draft into a quagmire to prevent an RFC number from being allocated? OK.
• Citing a celebrated rapist as a supporter of your objection? OK.
• Being said rapist and participating in the mailing list to the detriment to anyone that might feel unsafe by your presence? OK.

Me pointing out that Jacob Appelbaum is a rapist? Whoa now, that's a bridge too far. Gotta censor that!

Or at least, Bron Gondwana, CEO of Fastmail, seems to think so.

(The other IETF moderators weren't jerks about it, but Bron was.)

Right! One of the anecdotes in the book is from a teacher. I don't remember it exactly, but it's something like this: "Whenever a parent tells me how proud the are that their child has the best grades in my class, I mention that this is the least intelligent group of children I've ever taught." 😁

The goal of schooling is to teach the children, and to give them an enjoyment and appreciation of learning. Either the child learned an appropriate amount of biology or they didn't. The percent difference between what the child learned and what their peers learned is irrelevant. It's worse than irrelevant: kids focused on high grades enjoy and retain the subject material less, and have less empathy for their classmates.

Google CEO tries to tell University students to love AI. They tell him to BOO off.

It is good to see kids are saying no and fighting back. Do you know why? Because the future of bots, AI and robots doesn't offer any jobs to these young kids. They know greedy AI companies want to get rid of working class. It is simple as that.

New, by me: CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on GitHub

Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history.

Watching people try to "debug" coding agent behavior is so unbelievably painful. It's just fucking magic incantations

Did you use this specific super power?
Did you ask it to explain itself?
Did you read it's thought process to see where it's getting overwhelmed?

No because none of that is real. It does not do any of those things. It confabulates statistically probable text, and it does that over and over until a control loop stops asking for more. That is the whole entire thing.

Some of these are pretty reasonable! If you allow them for anyone, you probably make it so to compete at all requires everyone to follow suit. That's bad when those things have life-altering health implications.

But all of these things ultimately shape who is allowed to compete at the peak levels.

it's not always good! Honestly baseball is way less interesting to watch in the majors because everyone's great, all the plays are maximal capability, and it's kinda predictable. You don't end up with many of those "holy shit what just happened? that was awesome!" plays that are so much fun to watch. So as a spectator, these rules aren't always great. Sometimes you want to nerf the peak performance until the game is interesting. Sometimes you don't.

In F1, a huge part of the game is the nerding out about the rules and how to evade them cleverly to get peak performance. And the inside baseball on that is way more fun to watch than the race. The race is just cars going zoom and occasionally crashing, interrupted by amazing choreography in the pits.

There's a reason women's soccer is so much more fun for me to watch than men's. It's not been optimized so hard that the game isn't predictable in kind if not outcome. Plus the camaraderie shown is great.

But looking at all this, we gotta ask, what's sport's function in our societies? Why do we do this?

Wow: you can knock out a plant with anesthetics - the same anesthetics that work on people!

It's easist to see for plants that move, like a Venus fly trap. But experiments have shown it's true for others too.

We're still struggling to figure out what this means. We don't really know how anesthetics like ether and chloroform work, but here's a clue: you don't need to have neurons to get anesthetized!
