Finally we have created the random number "4" from the famous XKCD strip "do not just make your random number 4"

No, really, these PHP vulns are quite serious and you should drop everything and patch. https://www.php.net/index.php

A few weeks ago, we started noticing a number of applications on pixelfed.ca, where the user would say that they needed to register for a course. I don’t have full confirmation, but I’m fairly certain that this is a legitimate wave of signups from students at a Canadian university.

I’m sharing this post for a few reasons:

1. I thought it was neat

Personally, I’m excited that people are trying out Pixelfed and using it in coursework like this. If you are one of the students, now seeing this post, welcome! :) I hope that the project goes well, and that you have a pleasant experience on the platform. Feel free to share any and all feedback.

2. Some of the posts may look like spam at first

You might be seeing similar looking posts from different accounts on your feed. My guess is that the course has specific requirements and example templates. However, there’s also plenty of real content (ex. artwork, photography, etc.), so I don’t think it’s going to be disruptive

3. Please report anything that seems off

As always, you can report inappropriate content through the UI. For urgent issues, please email us at support@pixelfed.ca. You can also DM admin@lemmy.ca as there is overlap with our Pixelfed and Lemmy team members.

★ New blog post: Bye bye, Bristol

An era is drawing to a close.

Just to be clear, I am currently dumping elliptic curve keys from the tls certificate transparency logs, and will then be running an optimized mass-cracker tool that I'll use to check a few trillion weak private keys against the entire set simultaneously using sparse bloom filters.

The scanner (which is being heavily cribbed from my mass cryptocurrency key cracker "brainflayer") should be able to scan hundreds of thousands if not millions of keys per curve per second per core.

I am not aware of anyone else having previously done this, so hold on to your butts.

@neil increasingly of the view that it's all fucking security theatre, apart from then it's not, and then the theatre was never going to help anyway.

It’s out! Go forth and patch! ⚔️
