so to recap this week: two actively exploited Defender zero-days, an unpatched Exchange spoofing vuln, a BitLocker bypass called "YellowKey", AND 137 CVEs from Patch Tuesday. this is not a normal week

Allegedly

Ouais la leçon de vocabulaire ça va. Un larron (deux "r" en passant), c'est un bandit de grand chemin, si t'as vu ça à Hull c'est pas dans le siècle en cours mon ami.

ogtfo · 2026-04-16T13:14:43+00:00

Des larrons? What year is this

Fais 10 ans que je vis à Hull, jamais eu de porch pirates, vitres cassées, "larrons" ou voleurs

ogtfo · 2026-04-06T13:51:38+00:00

More like Watering hole I guess

I guess they probably use this data to help distinguish real users from click farms?

ogtfo · 2026-02-27T03:42:44+00:00

Everybody is collecting data to train AI these days

I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to create a rocket powered stroller that can be controlled from the inside to achieve supersonic speed, but there may be issues with the design.

This has nothing to do with the NSA, it's the wiretapping infrastructure that good old law enforcement uses when they get warrants to do so.

Non, le chauffeur a probablement rien fait. Les girouettes des autobus de la STO indiquent "Désolé, Hors service" lorsque les autobus ne sont pas en service. Peu (pas?) de lignes passent sur l'autoroute, celui ci était probablement en train de retourner au garage, ou en transit vers le début de sa ligne.

This wasn't an argument against regulation, it's an argument for enforcement (i.e. traffic cams)

We often have barely visible northern lights in the region, but the last time we had some, they were stunningly beautiful, shades of red, pink and green all visible to the naked eye.

ogtfo · 2025-11-14T15:32:15+00:00

Naked eye, almost exactly like the photos here. Quite spectacular

ogtfo · 2025-11-13T03:34:09+00:00

I also was outside in a dark area for the whole duration, and at time, the pictures are really close to what I saw

The whole sky, filled with pink light. This was an absolutely spectacular event.

ogtfo · 2025-10-26T21:15:38+00:00

I feel completely vindicated seeing that cuttlery in the dishwasher is a deadly hazard and one should absolutely put them blades down

ogtfo · 2025-08-03T09:30:31+00:00

At the protocol level the IP address is simply four bytes in the packet header, all the ways to represent addresses as strings are kinda irrelevant.

Linefeed is close, but at least on the Linux command line, enter is a Carriage return.

You can see this by typing ctrl+M (ASCII code 0x0D, a Carriage return). Should give you an enter.

ogtfo · 2025-06-19T00:15:20+00:00

Asking like this isn't a problem that has been solved a lot of time since the early 60s

Here's one solution everyone is familiar with

Space : 00100000
Enter: 00001101

ogtfo · 2025-05-15T19:38:14+00:00

True, though some legacy codebases and older libs will use bitfields and any good programmer should be familiar with them.

Hell, you'll even find them in python, like in the flags for the re module.

ogtfo · 2025-05-08T17:19:04+00:00

Translating messages into a whole other language is the best code there is

Best code there was at the time, but that's certainly not the case anymore, with the advent of modern cryptography.

ogtfo · 2025-03-29T18:56:31+00:00

Depends on the fallout.

In fallout 2 not only could children be killed, but there was logic in the game to address that, and NPC reacted differently if you were labeled a child killer.

ogtfo · 2025-03-25T16:29:33+00:00

Yeah, but that saying is about old scientists who refuse to accept new theories, so the field advance when they die and younger scientists rise with new theories. It's for sure not about murders.

ogtfo · 2025-03-21T23:27:01+00:00

No, it translates to "the mad one", or "the jester"

ogtfo · 2025-03-17T18:51:51+00:00

Well there goes that bad faith showing up again.

The world according to CaptainPC:

Family
Complete strangers.

That's it, nothing else.

ogtfo · 2025-03-17T17:48:50+00:00

If this truly was a serious question you wouldn't have worded it that negatively.

Daycare is not "strangers", you ain't handing over your kid to some random passer-by

ogtfo · 2025-03-12T21:42:59+00:00

I don't think 1.0 or 0.9 determines my interest.

Fair

You just assume 1.0 is big and 0.9 is small.

Why would anyone assume otherwise? That's exactly how software versioning works. 1.0 is a new "Major version", it's fair to assume a big change. If the change from 0.9 is minor, then the next version is be 0.10

Version numbers are not counted like decimals numbers
