You in #Texas? North Austin out to Odessa and Temple?

Then you can help put Texas and the US back on track by voting for Claire Reynolds or Justin Early for #Congress. They’re both #Democrats and both ready to take back Congress’s Constitutional […]

And there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election. For the love of god. He is a liar and a fraud.

The decor at the hotel I’m staying at is reminding me strongly of #OxygenNotIncluded. Am I in danger?

@hdm ay caramba.

New AirSnitch attack breaks Wi-Fi encryption in homes, offices, and enterprises: https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/02/new-airsnitch-attack-breaks-wi-fi-encryption-in-homes-offices-and-enterprises/

AirSnitch resets WiFi security back to the bad-old-days of ARP spoofing and trivial MITM.

@missingthept.bsky.social @da_667 goddammit i am a sucker for almost any It’s A Wonderful Life joke

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Breaking news: Max Headroom, one of the greatest TV shows ever made, is free on Tubi.

I find the terrible Tubi ads really enhance the dystopia.

@whitequark Iä! Iä! IRC fhtagn!

@mauvehed @zate @zate75 Yep. Everything your team fails at is your fault, everything your team succeeds at is their win.

I'll never forget the first time I threw a direct report under the bus. I was in a sort of "manager-limbo" where I was leading a team but wasn't fully an administrative manager in the HR system. It was all very awkward.

Very shortly into this time period, my boss asked me a direct question […]

Today is my oldest kid's, Molly's, birthday, and she would have been 30 today if she wasn't dead from a gunshot, bringing to a close a rocky few years dealing with opioid addiction.

Miss you, kiddo.

Anyway, just typing it out loud. And also, let me share a link to one of the […]

Just so you (and my employer and family) know, I have written down "Cancelling free and fair elections" as my Rubicon, which means I'll be rioting in the streets until elections are restored.

@hrbrmstr @vulncheck this effect is especially apparent in CVEs published in January, btw.

@hrbrmstr @vulncheck This is a great object lesson in "don't date your CVEs based on the label." Go with the publish date, instead. The label year is more loosey-goosey than many expect.

@hrbrmstr Ah ha. It's a @vulncheck bug. They do have a tendency to do some bug archeology. Looks like the original report is from 2015.

From the CVE Rules:

4.2.21 CNAs SHOULD assign the year part of a CVE ID based on the calendar year in which the vulnerability was first Publicly Disclosed […]

@hrbrmstr well that's weird. Not every day you get a 2015-labelled CVE minted in 2026.

This kind of behavior is discouraged, but legal, in CVE-land. Let's see what's up here. Give me two shakes!

Unforgivable vulnerabilities A vulnerability that should not exist in software as the difficulty of implementing mitigations is deemed negligible. This could be because: the mitigation is fully documented it is cheap to implement the technical implementation of the mitigation does not rely on too many (or too complex) prerequisites Note: There may be multiple causes of a single vulnerability, with each cause having a different mitigation.

NCSC published a method for classifying vulnerabilities as "forgivable" or "unforgivable" based on how easy the mitigations are to implement.

The main gist is that if the fix is cheap, well-documented, and has no complex prerequisites, there's no excuse for […]

The apparent window size for my browser, at full screen, on my little MacBook Air. I tile my tabs on the left size which takes a little bit extra horizontal space away from the viewable browser screen. Just so happens to be 1337px across. This is a funny number.
