Well, this is a hell of a metaphor for generative AI

The European Vulnerability Database (EUVD) is now fully operational, offering a streamlined platform to monitor critical and actively exploited security flaws amid the US struggles with budget cuts, delayed disclosures, and confusion around the future of its own tracking systems euvd.enisa.europa.eu

I wrote a blog post about rustls performance on the server for the Prossimo blog; rustls comes out comparing well to the alternatives, and we’re still improving it! www.memorysafety.org/blog/rustls-...

We have a cronjob to spot unwanted utf8 letters in #curl PRs as we have noticed that GitHub will gladly show the for example (identical) Cyrillic version of a letter next to the Latin version in a diff and it is yes, entirely impossible for a human to spot […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Ça y est, mon blog fait peau neuve ! 🥳 Après une longue réflexion, j'ai changé le moteur de mon blog. Je suis ainsi passé de Zola à Hugo. Bien que j'aime Zola, il me manquait quelques fonctions, d'où la migration. rodolphe.breard.tf

I saw those stickers on internet but never saw one until recently. Dude, Elon didn't "went crazy", he was this way for a looooong time. 😅

Forgive my ignorance, but I was today years old when I learned that the original version of Maarva's speech at the end of Andor s1 had her yelling "𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆 THE EMPIRE!" — they filmed it, edited it, and then it got killed it in post-production I am so fucking furious with Disney right now, my god

Les services de renseignement allemands classent officiellement l'AfD comme « groupe d’extrême droite ». Car il y a des « preuves définitives que le parti agit contre le système démocratique allemand ». L'AfD a 152 députés & dispose aujourd'hui d'une place politique comparable au... RN en France.

This isn't just idle thinking! See PuTTY CVE-2024-31497 for a practical example.

Here's something counterintuitive to non-practitioners: curve P-521 is often less secure in practice than curve P-256. The latter is more popular, and so better tested. The risk of implementation bugs dwarfs the risk of partial cryptanalysis of ECC, so picking P-521 optimizes for the wrong thing.

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

Ça y est, je viens de me faire ma première soirée de #geocaching ! ☺️ Et en bonus j'ai vu passer Jamy à vélo ! Oui, LE Jamy, celui de C'est pas sorcier. 🤩
