What Tool album should I listen to today? I only remember trying and failing to get into them like 15 years ago when I was a nerd. You got a good entry point? It doesn't necessarily need to be "easy".

Shout-out to whoever commandeered 333 of the FBI's exit nodes.

Your separation between VMs is exactly what I want to do. But given how I'm still rocking a single truenas machine running all my containers, I've got a quite a bit of setup to do... Like you said, rebuilding everything is a slog.

Ok, ai has increased the frequency and amount being found, but that is equally increased both for malicious and cybersec, so it essentially cancels out.

This is not what experts are saying.

I have had a fully public facing server for years with no issues.

To be fair, that was before AI was finding all these holes.

"If Russia is blamed for Trump’s election, we avoid the unpleasant reality of our failed democratic institutions and decaying empire. We avoid facing the inevitable rise of a Christianised fascism borne out of widespread impoverishment, rage, despair and abandonment. We avoid acknowledging the complicity of the Democratic Party in the orchestration of the largest social inequality in our nation’s history, the evisceration of our basic civil liberties, endless wars and an electoral system bankrolled by the billionaire class, which is legalised bribery. The myth allows us to believe that Democratic politicians, like the establishment Republicans who have joined them, are the guarantors of a democracy they destroyed.

Our reality is bleak and frightening, especially given the abject refusal by the ruling oligarchs to deal seriously with the climate emergency. We face a precarious future. The monumental task of restoring democracy outside the confines of a broken electoral system and corporate-indentured institutions is daunting and not guaranteed. We stand on the cusp of tyranny. Blaming Vladimir Putin for the rise of an American demagogue — demagogues are always vomited up from dysfunctional political systems — magically makes the existential dilemma disappear."

Throughout 2026, IBM X-Force observed a dramatic increase in publicly disclosed vulnerabilities across major software vendors, including Microsoft, Oracle, Google Chrome and Apache. While the causes behind this increase are difficult to quantify, recent advances in AI-assisted vulnerability research demonstrate how vulnerability discovery can now occur at unprecedented scale. In August 2026, Unit 42 published a report highlighting that its autonomous vulnerability discovery platform, NOVA, identified more than 14,000 previously undiscovered vulnerabilities across nearly 4,000 open-source projects in just two months. The question is no longer whether AI can help researchers find vulnerabilities, but whether AI is changing vulnerability discovery faster than organizations are prepared to manage the risk.

Vulnerability disclosures are up 578% in 2026 across major software vendors. Publicly disclosed CVEs across Microsoft, Oracle, Google Chrome and Apache increased from approximately 1,493 disclosures during January-September 2025 to more than 10,124 during the same period in 2026, representing roughly a 578% increase. The acceleration became most apparent in Q2 2026. Vulnerability disclosure volumes remained relatively stable through the first quarter before increasing sharply beginning in April and continuing through the summer months.

Your head's in the sand, friend.

October 2026 AI is drastically better at finding these holes compared to pre 2026 AI. Do you agree?

It seems like your main point is that the threat has not elevated. But the news from this week proves that is wrong, I feel.

It seems impossible to divorce them. Your opinion of moderation action will be informed by the discussion topic.

Couldn't think of a more lemmy thread topic than one involving both Russian geopolitics and linux.

dies

They are really laying it on thick with the passive voice.

Good meme, but we really ought to end small-penis hatred.

Some estimates say there are as many as 12 vacant homes per homeless person this country in the United States.

Edit: millionaire in OP is from Canada

This journalist just gave us a masterclass in everything you shouldn't do when interacting with nazis: appeals to logic, appeals to emotion, bringing up facts and logic, and ultimately platforming them. This is the kind of liberalism that promotes fascism. There is no excuse to give fascists time on TV and to platform them. There is no "debating" fascists. There is only violence.

you can learn how to swing a hammer in about thirty seconds

You cant downplay hammer skills, though. There is almost no skill ceiling with hammers. Put any blacksmith up against an amateur, and you'll quickly see the difference between 30 seconds of training and 30 years.

End small-dick hatred. Body shaming isn't okay no matter what.

For every lifted coal roller, there is a small-dicked, eco conscious bicyclist.

should start preparing now

The time to prepare was when the Democrats were in power. It's now too late. MAGA in 2019 could not have telegraphed their moves harder. The plan was always to massively bolster ICE and commence rapid, racist deportations and death camps. And not only did Biden and democrats fail to prepare for this (dismantling ICE, jailing MAGA, chickenshit prodecutor Garland, etc...), but they carried out the biggest federal law enforcement blunders in US history.

On top of this, Biden expanded ICE during his time in office, and literally built the camps that Tump is now utilizing.

It's just downright pitiful to see a headline saying that "now is the time to act", as if the people we're begging to act didnt just spend the last 4 years collaborating with fascists.

Using a 12 year old cell phone processor to run data harvesting. Any processing power left over for transcoding and display of video is a bonus.

The last time the US formally declared war was WWII. Presidents, both blue and red, have been taking advantage of the incredibly weak War Powers Act for decades now.
