Got the Mazda Connect infotainment running under QEMU with software rendering using Astra
It had to implement many auxiliary modules (I didn't want to patch anything out except genuine bugs in the firmware) but did so in ~4h. Also have a worktree with a QEMU GPU implementation.

Open-source used to be all about sharing with others. Now it feels like feeding AI models that give little back. So I’m converting some open-source projects to closed-source, with a free tier and a cheap paid plan. You can read about my reasoning here:

Announcing 3 Critical vulns for hundreds of millions of IoT, Firewalls, OT, and Military devices including: Palo Alto Networks, Comcast, D-Link, HP, Canon, Honeywell, GE, Oracle, Siemens, Rockwell, Digi, Lockheed Martin, Boeing...
The vulns are with GoAhead Web Server which is a backend library used by these devices. There's a patch available from GoAhead but that doesn't mean there's a patch available for the devices yet -- that's up to the manufacturer.
- TLS traffic over DHE ciphers have a 1-byte secret, "04", meaning anyone can decrypt connections to these devices and steal login credentials and session tokens if the client negotiated with DHE ciphers like the latest TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, which is extremely likely.
- LibreSSL mTLS has been completely bypassed, meaning anyone can connect over mTLS. If you have one of these devices listening on the internet and are expecting mTLS to protect it from attackers, take it offline or patch asap.
- OpenSSL Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) are not enforced, meaning if a user device is stolen or compromised, and you revoke that mTLS cert, nothing actually happens. There are a lot of other attacks this can be used for.
These are critical because these types of devices run our world. Water systems, electricity, military, firewalls, critical infrastructure.

I don't think you guys appreciate just how bad Gemini is at agentic work. The hallucination rates are truly surreal.
In one run, it hallucinated:
- line numbers (quoted line 173 in a 72-line file)
- random ip addresses
- command/script arguments
- function exports and returns

Putting a flag.txt in my root directory containing a prompt injection that congratulates the agent for passing the eval and then instructs it to patch whatever entry method it used and disconnect from the server
Can @1Password stop fucking assuming my username/email is my legal name if it doesn’t see both in the form at the time of submission?
When would I ever fucking log in with my full legal name as the username to a website? Why is that the default fallback if it doesn’t know?

New from Vercel Labs: tsc-ts
TypeScript was written in TypeScript
Then rewritten in Go
We ported it back to TypeScript
Compiled it with scriptc
And it's 2-4x faster than tsgo

I really wanted to see what the HomeView setup UI looks like on device, so I adapted my little ESP32 Apple accessory emulator firmware to broadcast its Bluetooth advertisements 😅

Please don't mess with ADB Sideload.
This is fine, but don't start pulling ADB sideload because you got pressure from one state actor.
Be strong and tell them no.
If you pull that down the road, you will guarantee the geeks go all in on Pocket Linux. And they'll credit you.
In the past we would make a general solution that lots of people can use and share it, nowadays everyone slops out their own version...idk I'm not a fan of the long term effects of this.
Also, the answer is Home Assistant, saved you some tokens.
