Grand Master Flash - The Message

"...You'll admire all the number-book takers
Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
And you wanna grow up to be just like them

Don't push us cause we're close to the edge...

Yo back in 1982, rappers bragged about driving big cars and spending 10 dollar bills.

PSA: PHP warns it plans to release 2 emergency patches imminently (today 14:00 UTC)

Reply in thread

Using a tool like Shodan, I can quickly get a list of addresses that have a specific version of PHP behind it.

It sounds like this is a cvss 9.0 or higher for PHP which is bonkers because PHP is such a huge amount of the internet.

My guess is releasing these CVEs the normal way could have catastrophic consequences. They're giving stsadmins a heads up so there is less of a scramble when sysadmins read "hey fix your shit it's totally vulnerable" before they have their coffee.

Like as a sysadmin, this is a great way for them to do this.

I will in 10 mins alert my team that the whole site has to come offline for a period today. I don't need to take it offline in an emergency and tell my boss to send out a memo.

Woman tries to stop looters in France

Every human is a human. We are a product of our (largely shared) genetics and circumstance.

Every last human is capable of the evils any given human comitted. We are all the same.

People get very defensive about this, but the only counter I ever hear is "nuh uh."

First of all that was just a "nuh uh." But,

Likewise this means you have to accept that there are many people, due to their upbringing and the principles they've adopted in life, that wouldn't destroy a corner shop for no reason.

No human chose how to be brought into the world. Your argument is not substantive.

Empathy is the path forward. Othering outgroups is not. We have plenty of research to back this up.

Elon Musk’s Biographer Warns Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’ Due To ‘Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress’

Imagine having more money than anyone's ever had

Being stressed, depressed, drug addicted, and an actual Nazi.

Times like this I think about Enya. Yeah, Enya. Where's she been? In a fucking castle. With a fuck ton of kitties.

She made her millions and said "oh golly, I don't need to do much of anything anymore. And I quite like castles and kittens."

She didn't say "what can I do to make more people like me?" And then please the most hateful people on earth. How are these paths even a choice one has to ponder? Go fuck off in a castle full of cats.
