Ugh. Just left the full stops off the end of some domain names in a zonefile. Not the final straw, but it doesn't feel great.

@Jouva Moufette :ms_nonbinary_flag: I know! Why would I not want that!? I don't know why, but for some reason I don't! It's a mystery!

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear.

"Why bad art?" I ask.

"It is brave", the God replies.

"To try and fail?"

"No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

I've had to be my own computer security person for the last 20 years, so why does it feel like *now*, specifically, I can't cope any more. Now, rather suddenly, it feels like in order to put anything online at all you need a whole team of people to be constantly on edge, ready to respond at a moment's notice. It's never felt as anxiety-inducing as in the last few months.

Huh, this is quite fun.

A post-party mess. The little robot vacuum slid around the penthouse apartment cleaning up crumbs, champagne, and broken glass.

The music had been loud enough to rattle its bristles, rowdy laughter had assaulted its sensors. Then there'd been a torn sleeve. Sobbing. Stumbling steps.

Now there was its owner, the cause of the sobs by the balcony. One little scoot, a little scooch, under one foot, the other. The trash screamed all the way down.

I've yet to see a human endeavour which isn't about money and power.


Computers were not a mistake.

The Internet was not a mistake.

The mistake was allowing everything to be about money and power rather than community building.

I haven't been to the cinema in a long time. Went with family this afternoon to see the new Ghosts film "The Possession of Button House". While I'm not as much of a Ghosts fan as some of the others, it was good.

This time I wanted to play around a little with lighting, shadows, and perspective, trying out a different angle with the sunlight hitting him. Mostly just experimenting and having fun with it!

There are so many security bugs coming out in a continuous firehose I'm starting to feel it's just not worth it to try to run my own hosting any more. It probably needs a company with several people available just to keep all the servers fully patched. Which is a horrible thing for me to realise, given how much of my life I've been trying to get to the point where I run good hosting I can recommend to people.

Everyone took the shortcut through the graveyard.

It closed at night, but I was in a hurry, and the groundskeepers were busy watching The Big Game. They hadn't even seen me fall over the gate.

My phone lit the path.

A crack of wood made me jump. The gnarled hands clawing through the dirt made me freeze.

The zombie pointed at me, "Give phone!"

The rest of my walk was dark but I could still hear the zombie cheering its favorite team.

CW: dream injuries and violence

I had a weird dream where I infiltrated a gang of some kind, but they figured me out and one of them cut me deeply several times on the head, arms and hands with a very big sharp knife. It was so sharp I barely felt it and it hardly bled at all. I walked away, hoping to get the cuts sewn up in hospital. It's got to mean something I suppose.

Pippin friendica
Oh Youtube, why must you show me a thumbnail like this and then there's very little of wolf Kal actually in the video? I went as far as downloading the whole of season 3 of this just to find out what was going onโ€ฆ and there's actually very little more wolf Kal in it, pretty much all of it got squashed into this video. But oh my goodness just the way they did this is amazing. Definitely want a good fursuit even more now. And by "good", I mean want to *be* canine (or ursine, or so many others) while still being fully a person, not a mascot, like the style this is done in.

Taken just after the Kaiju Stomp at WPAFW2026, where multiple Kaiju (fursuiters) rampaged through a city (cardboard boxes of various sizes).

I'm walking a bit oddly because my right bootie has come loose inside my hindpaw and I'm trying to make it to a seat before I lose the paw completely. Of course, as soon as I sat down the bootie slid back into place and stayed there the rest of the day.

@colinstu @pippin The long brown NFT fur "mane" over the shoulders and down the back was done back in 2002, but it needs sunlight to really pop.

I'm slowly replacing the shorter dark grey NFT fur on the rest of the body; for some reason it's kinked up over the years and just doesn't look good anymore.

Oof. Reading this points out just how many devices won't or can't be updated to distrust the weak CA keys disclosed today. https is barely, if at all, more secure than http now, for those devices.

There's even the scenario where your phone asks Google or Apple if there's an OS update and they would like to say "yes, here's an update to your root certificate store", an attacker could now impersonate them and instead say "no, everything's fine and dandy".

Lovely.

Well, I think we've all learned that randomness isn't an attribute of a number, it's an attribute of the process by which the number is chosen. 4 is neither random nor non-random. But it's definitely a stupid choice if it's meant to stay secret.

And there I was thinking key generators had a bunch of tests to make sure the random numbers they used didn't happen to be too obvious. Maybe they felt those ones were cramping their style. ๐Ÿคท

Pippin friendica

And that's how you compromise all of TLS, worldwide, in one go. (The broken CAs can presumably issue certificates for *any* name in DNS, and it's the same for all the dozens of other CAs, even the obscure ones, because most (all?) of the CAs in the root trust stores are not, as far as I know, scoped in any way.) (I'm sure someone will correct me if these "presumably"s and "as far as I know"s are wrong.)

Go to https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/ , scroll down to "Does your client still trust the compromised intermediates?" and check that your browser is correctly failing to connect to certificates from all 8 of the bad intermediates.

@zrb @kawazoe @FamiliarDraco They're all under 256.

Naively, a for loop that meant to write the random bytes to a buffer but fucked up the pointer arithmetic could explain it.

Soatok Dreamseeker • mastodon (AP)

For example:

void fill_random(uint8_t *buf, int fd) {<br>    uint8_t *p = buf;<br>    for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++) {<br>        read(fd, p, 1);<br>        (*p)++;<br>    }<br>}<br>

The pointer arithmetic (*p)++ fails to actually move the pointer off buf[0].

A similar version could have had them all overwrite buf[31] instead.

I'm sure the actual script they used is dumber in some other way.
