If the robots come for you, just run up some stairs I guess.

Having a little going away with an old boss and came up with the phrase:

"Changing jobs is just 'same fire, different dumpster.'"

How do i get a trademark on this.

Our site admin (@jerry) is about to get walloped with additional hosting fees, thanks to the great AIpocalypse that is messing up everything with datacenter costs.

I love the fediverse because there are no bullshit targeted ads and no bullshit algorithm-boosted messaging. Just a bunch of humans running servers. The downside of this is there is very little money in running servers and they cost more and more to keep going.

I increased my donation a bit today to help keep up with the costs.

Consult your instance admin for where to donate. In our case you can look at Jerry's profile for the official donation places. If you can afford to donate please do. If you can afford to increase your donation, please do that too.

Now I've heard there was a secret path
The hacker typed and it pleased the app
But you don't really sanitize it, do ya?
It goes like this, dot dot, then slash
Then up a dir, no not to /trash
The filesystem "just doing what I told ya"

../. ./.. /../ ../ ../ ../

@patrickcmiller ”Don't connect your control system to the Internet" is still going to show up in every single ICS advisory though, isn't it...

In a world full of terrible LotR analogies, be Tom Bombadil. Sing and shitpost and laugh about everything.

@cR0w let's see, after I buy Lānaʻi and some kind of fancy super duper sailing yacht, maybe a digitized goat farm with zero security vulnerabilities.

@cR0w at this point I'll settle for a modestly sized sailboat. 35-40 feet would be big enough for me, so long as it is reasonably well-built. then i will sail into the west and join the valar. if they'd have me.

@cR0w @briankrebs I knew what it was going to be, and I clicked through the warning anyway.

A comic that I will think about every day for the rest of my life, probably.

a friendly reminder about how the digital world is held together

you still have time to push to prod today.

Me upon reading some headlines about the AI bubble bursting.

Big Endian was invented because someone really needed to know, right away, whether a number was positive or negative.

Little Endian was invented because someone really needed to know, right away, whether a number was even or odd.

This is how I'm going to explain "why is endianness a thing" to people that are new to binary stuff from now on.

Meanwhile, in the industrial security space:

@krypt3ia @patrickcmiller the only defense against malware with ai is goodware with you know what i give up.

A password consisting only of lowercase L's, uppercase i's, the number 1 and the | pipe..

I|l11IllIIllIlIlII|

...technically satisfies all password requirements.
