Nowadays my main account, but other @Deebsters are available.

  • Grand Theft Auto LM Edtion

    Jump

  • This is still what I think of when thinking about GTA. Multiplayer had the arrows pointing to the other players, and sometimes a player would be barrelling towards you in a tanker, crushing everything in its path. Sometimes you had a bazooka and could shot at the arrow before that player came on screen. Great memories.

  • agile

    Jump

  • It's a meme format (a snowclone), of the form "It's only X if it comes from the X region of France, otherwise it's just sparking Y". The original was talking about Champagne (and sparkling wine), which is why it's France.

    There's lots of versions out there, of varying quality.

  • Security Advisory for Cargo (CVE-2026-5222)

    Jump

  • The severity of the vulnerability is low, due to the extremely niche requirements needed to achieve the attack.

    Mitigations

    Rust 1.96, to be released on May 28th, 2026

    Ok, so it'll get fixed soon enough and 99% of people don't need to worry 👍

  • Deleted

  • No-one's commented on the skeleton watching and touching themself in the original picture. Although, I guess skeletons don't really have anything to touch down there.

  • Today’s kids don’t have to worry about turning off your PC before you can unplug your mouse or keyboard

    Jump

  • I have a bunch of identical-looking white USB3 cables that may or may not transmit any data at all, depending on what they arrived free with. I wish they had little colour bands on like fuses do.

  • Websites have a new way to spy on visitors: analyzing their SSD activity

    Jump

  • Interesting stuff.

    I assume this also needs high precision timers, which are disabled in many cases. I'm also assuming that the reason the file needs to be quite so large is to ensure that caching doesn't ruin the measurements.

  • Before internet memes there were postcards

    Jump

  • And (for now) they still have postcards for sale - people take a photo of them and send that instead.

  • Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?

    Jump

  • I read this disgraceful comment yesterday, and I've dug through my history to reply to it today.

    @rako, this unacceptable. Let's remove the mention of AI to see if you can get some perspective... Imagine this exchange:

    P1: I've been cooking for the homeless but it's taking up a lot of my time and energy. Is it ok to use shop-bought meals?

    P2: You being weary of cooking is belittling the homeless! People like you are what's wrong with society.

    I hope you can agree that this is unfair, and unhinged. It's also not mischaracterising what you wrote.

    @Gonzako you don't seem to have minded rako trying to shame you, but they were way out of line.

  • Google is cannibalizing the web to feed AI

    Jump

  • Are you referring to the photo of a baby eating meat from a bone?

  • Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy

    Jump

  • I was watching a video the other day that was showing WiFi sensing using TOMMY which uses channel state information (CSI) - something this article describes as the previous approach. That was already quite impressive, although not nearly as powerful as this teaser hints at.

    We'll have to wait for the hang on, the Taipei conference was last year so this is old news. Here's the paper: https://publikationen.bibliothek.kit.edu/1000185756

  • What do you call a paper airplane that doesn't fly?

    Jump

  • This might be too good to be a dad joke

  • There’s Never Been a Better Time to Study Computer Science

    Jump

  • London mayor Sadiq Khan blocks £50M Metropolitan police deal with Palantir

    Jump

  • Scotland Yard are saying that unless they're allowed to spend £50m on Palantir, they'll have to reduce officer numbers? I can't see their logic.

  • Towonel: Open Source drop-in Cloudflare Tunnel alternative

    Jump

  • So I built towonel. In Rust, partly because I wanted to learn the language properly

    This bit makes me a little wary.

    Jump

  • This Chaotic Eclipse/Nightmare Eclipse is the same one whose opening post read:

    I never wanted to reopen a blog and a new github account to drop code...

    But someone violated our agreement and left me homeless with nothing. They knew this will happen and they still stabbed me in the back anyways, this is their decision not mine.

    I'm guessing there's plenty more to come.

    Kinda funny that they're targeting Microsoft and yet using GitHub to share the PoCs.

  • Ah, the joke's part of a quote - my first thought was you highlighting it might cause a po-faced editor to remove it.
