A piece of 1-bit pixel art on a simulated Macintosh screen. the piece of 512x342 pixels in size, and depicts a wacked-out bit of art showin the giant number "2026" floating in space over a piece of "Globaltalk" text with an Apple logo next to it. Various spacy shit is around the piece, like a nebula behind, a planet with rings, a small black hole, a whole bunch of stylised magnetar lines, clouds, rocks, and black bubbles of possibly vacuum decay. it's signed in the bottom right corner by me, 'nanoraptor'

oss-security - Re: Telnetd Vulnerability Report

> Once the telnet connection opens, /bin/login tries to print the localized prompt but gettext [..] calls iconv_open() to parse the gconv-modules file in the directory referenced by the injected path before loading the shared object that turns cash ($) to trash (#).

Claude taking a month to port a Linux driver was easier than just porting the OpenBSD driver patrick@ wrote like a decade ago?

## Build Instructions

Run `claude "compile this"` and let it figure out what to do on your system.

never used it, but i know good things came from it.

the current forks of it like 9front (or their communities i suppose) are weird and off-putting and every screenshot i've seen looks exactly the same which tells me it's not very useful for much more than running a bunch of terminals

the year is 2030

TLS certs have a max lifetime of 24 hours

all major browsers refuse to talk plaintext HTTP with no override

ISPs filter port 80 like port 25

a DDoS takes out LetsEncrypt for days, no one can renew their certs

the web dies, no one minds
