The Best Encrypted Messengers in 2024
TLDR: Avoid Telegram and WhatsApp. Recommended messengers are Session, Signal, SimpleX and Threema. Honorable mention: Briar.

[Solved/Explained] Ironfox Trackers! Lots of them!
To me it just seems like the websites you opened in Ironfox were calling the trackers. The only things I'd see Ironfox using is Firebase Crashlytics and maybe Mozilla sites for add-on updates etc.

Unerwünschte Zivilcourage bei Hackern?
"Nicht jeder Computerbegeisterte kann sich selbst zum Sicherheitsforscher ernennen und damit einen Freibrief zum Hacking bekommen", so CDU-Politiker Günter Krings auf Anfrage der ARD-Rechtsredaktion.
Ich möchte kotzen. Herr Krings hat nichts verstanden. Es geht doch nicht darum, wer mit welcher Expertise Sicherheitslücken findet. Es geht darum, damit verantwortungsvoll umzugehen und Responsible Disclosure zu betreiben, damit die Lücke geschlossen werden kann und Schäden für eine Vielzahl von Menschen und ggf. das Unternehmen abgewendet werden können...

Or if you dislike all kinds of ads like me, you may also like the NewPipe fork Tubular, which provides SponsorBlock integration.

PSA: The Syncthing fork repo has very recently been taken by a new maintainer without notice from the old one. However, the new maintainer seems to be in possession of the old PGP keys, which has made a lot of community members cautious/suspicious.

Signatures skyrocket for **Stop Killing Games** campaign after big youtubers take up the cause, resulting in 100k signatures in 48 hours. (Details on how to help in text body of post)
Not only do I not mind you yoinking the text, I want to thank you for your contribution to the cause. If everyone who has signed could get one more person to sign, the initiative would succeed!

My bikes been ruined
That's rough, dude; my sympathies. You're definitely not alone though: Recently, both wheels were stolen from my bike and since there were no cameras or witnesses, the chance of police finding the perpetrator(s) is slim to none. Worth of the stolen parts is ~150 €, cost to replace them around ~400 €...

Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems to be fully disclosed in 2 weeks with no working fix yet
Reply in thread
This link should be working.
Quoting from the OP tweet:
* Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago.
* Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs).
* Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6).
* Still no working fix.
* Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
* Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.I've spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can't accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.

Are these two rar files malware? (virustotal results)
TLDR: I can't say for 100% sure, but there are multiple reasons to believe that this is malware.
Long version: I'm seeing multiple suspicious things here.
The IPs being connected to are part of some hoster and have some abuse reports: https://www.abuseipdb.com/check-block/217.20.58.98/29
The domain being resolved is qcloud[.]com, which belongs to Tencent Cloud and definitely not Microsoft.
Other domains in memory like counter-strike[.]com[.]ua are very new and definitely sound fishy.
A standalone version of 7zip is being run and extracts the created rar file with the password "infected". Real alarm bells here.
A lot of the registry actions look like anti-debugging, which does not sound like something an Illustrator Plugin would do.

Is my 5700x3d overheating at 85c or is it just hot?
85°C is still fine. You wouldn't want your system running at those temps all the time but if those are only spikes during intensive tasks, you're good.
If you want your PC to run a bit cooler, check your airflow, set manual fan curves, or try out a mild undervolt.

Obviously I can only speak for myself as a non-impaired person, but I am often in spaces where I cannot listen to audio even on headphones. Also a summary is nice to get a feel if I even want to spend the time watching the video later.

I am a Patreon supporter of Jim Browning. Incidentally, I got this email today:
At last, I can reveal something I've been working on in conjunction with a major UK cellphone operator, O2. Meet dAIsy. Daisy is an AI bot who answers scam phone calls. Thanks to the mobile operator who can fingerprint scam phone calls via the calling pattern, source, sequence of calls and other markers, scam calls are being diverted to an AI bot who has been trained to keep the scammers on the phone as long as possible.
This is my recording of a Zoom interview I had today with Channel 5 news in the UK where you can see dAIsy in action.
I will continue to train dAIsy with real scam phone calls. When we perfect her, the aim is to work with other cell and landline operators to divert scam calls to thousands of instances of dAIsy. [...]
So you're not wrong about this being a project of some anti-scam YouTuber, you just guessed the wrong one. ^^
