I feel like the vibes have really turned for the worse here. I'm giving Bluesky a go — it seems nice! And it's clicking for me in a way that Mastodon never did.
Come say hi over there! 👋 I'm @zofrex.bsky.social

Friendly reminder: the YubiKey will look like this after someone performs the side-channel attack and cloning attempt.
You’d…probably notice.
YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel arstechnica.com/?p=2046777

ALT Image of a custom ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Xbox Series X console with two katanas attached to the backside and a Deadpool-themed covering, set in an industrial scene. Two Deadpool-themed controllers flank the console: one facing forward and the other backward, revealing a cushion shaped like Deadpool’s buttocks attached to it. The Xbox logo is visible in the bottom left, and the ‘Marvel Studios Deadpool & Wolverine’ logo along with text reading “in theaters July 26” is in the bottom right corner. In the middle, there is text reading “© 2024 20th Century Studios ©&™ 2024 MARVEL” next to the Marvel logo.
Fuck Keir Starmer. At least tories are honest about being tories. If you want the policies Labour stands for, vote Conservative, it's the same stuff but their heart's really in it.
Beth Rigby, "You could raise taxes on the top 5%"
Keir Starmer, "It's important to stand up and say I can't afford to do what I said I would do before"
Beth Rigby, "Why can't you afford to raise taxes on the top 5% of earners?"
Keir Starmer, "To simply stick with something which you know you can't afford"
Beth Rigby, "You can afford to raise taxes on higher earners"
Keir Starmer, "There are some things we now can't afford because of the damage done to the economy"
Stellar questioning by @BethRigby and the answer remains: how is raising taxes on the top 5% something that can't be afforded? 🤷♂️

Councillor Seema Kumar wasn't happy that I posted pictures of her illegal number plate on SM. So she sends @ealingMPS around to gag me.
So next time you call the police and they do nothing, it's because they are dealing with real criminals like me. – at Ealing, London

I think its easy for us to say "just do the basics" but has anyone actually ever enumerated the basics...there's a lot there...

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

A startup has bought a domain associated with your brand without your permission and run your content through an AI engine, linking to their company
Modern tech companies in a nutshell: wanting to exploit a valuable public good that other people made and gave away for free, to make a quick profit, even if it destroys it in the process. Gross.
Sorry, but archive.org is down temporarily-- working to restore service.
(details: this is our second blast of abusive traffic from an AWS customer today apparently from an AI company harvesting Internet Archive texts at an extreme rate)

This is really going to blow your mind but the correct way to back up your Google Authenticator is to write down the backup codes that the website tells you to write down as a backup 🤯
Dangerous advice. Every site you add Google Authenticator to shows you backup codes when you set it up. Oddly enough, the backup codes are what you're supposed to back up.
For some people & some threat models, backing up the TOTP seeds in the cloud works. But not everyone.

Look, I'm not going to say software engineering is perfect, but we're usually held to a higher standard than being 100x off on high school level maths
Time to reset that counter: Auth0's own jsonwebtoken library was happily declaring alg: none tokens as valid, until yesterday howmanydayssinceajwtalgnonev…
It's a beautiful little trick, but also a very silly footgun that only exists because of the algorithmic agility in the JWT spec. It's possible to write libraries that protect against it, but it's hard. With a good spec, this simply would not be possible in the first place.
