New, from me: The Cloudflare Outage May Be a Security Roadmap

An intermittent outage at Cloudflare on Tuesday briefly knocked many of the Internet’s top destinations offline. Some affected Cloudflare customers were able to pivot away from the platform […]

I'm not sure what's going on but @ESETresearch @ESET is really putting out some really good research these days.

Almost every other story they publish is quite awesome and even novel.

This article is no different.

I especially "like" the documented approach of redirect DNS requests for […]

I'm mostly surprised by the fact that the Cloudflare outage was not caused by badly propagated DNS resource records.

This is something new, and I'm not sure how I feel about it all.

It's as if a future Fortinet vulnerability wouldn't be caused by ../

I really LOVE having access to a private "library" of articles and reports that have been tagged, and otherwise "enriched".

Looking for "threat" articles discussing or mentioning TightVNC, check.

Chatting with a friend about Cloudflare's intermittent outages today, they brought up an interesting point: How many organizations have started relying on Cloudflare to do basic security blocking and tackling stuff, like stopping SQL injection attacks at the edge? Maybe your devs were lazy at […]

Comparisons have been made between the Internet infrastructure that was built back in late 90s and early 2000 as comparable to the AI investments now.

I think that's a dumb comparison. The "internet" infrastructure built back then was fundamentally different from what's being built today.

But […]

We’re still an absolute skeleton crew of 14 people, competing with teams sometimes 100x as large as ours. To get to our humble team size was only possible through the less than 1% community members who donate to Mastodon, a handful larger donations, & EU grants, all of which we are forever […]

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition.

GenAI is a giant search engine, and it doesn’t do more for malware than a slightly shittier Google would. Malware has been using polymorphism since I didn’t have grey hair and drank less. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Discovered the self-hosted todo app Tududi and I must say that first impression is... not bad, not bad at all.

It's clean, intuitive, has multi-user support and many other neat features.

I liked the idea of a simple capture without tying the "captured thing" as a task but just... here's a […]

There's one thing I'd love to see in #arcraiders gank-ratings. If someone uses the "Don't shoot" and next after that starts shooting should mark them as a ganker.

Or perhaps add some sort of scoring for people who shoot first. Like some sort of ration between people interacted with/people shot […]

Since the 1.2.0 update of ARCRaiders I've had multiple crashes in the "lobby". No crashes prior, but now it looks up almost frequently. Luckily not in game so far...

Its no longer working for me in my Audi.
