Pretty wild video about how LLMs can find vulnerabilities.
Appwrite 1.9.0: Self-hosting with MongoDB as the underlying database
Kinda odd since I feel like Mongodb fell out of favor a bit but I guess it can be handy for those who prefer these kinds of databases.

This is pretty because Grist can react to changes in your data automatically, sending emails or firing webhooks. I only recently learned about grist and have been playing with it a bit in the hosted version. Thinking of adding it to my list of applications to run soon. Seems like it's not super well known in this sub though. Do people prefer something else?

Thousands of Student Loan Borrowers Could See Wages Garnished in Just Days
According to the NYT article[0] "about five million borrowers are in default" which means like 1.5% of the population is about to have 15% of their wages garnished. Seems pretty intense.

Searching for eBook reader solution
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/39848038
I bought myself a fancy new TLC 11 Nxtpaper Gen 2 with a cool e-ink type display. It’s an android tablet and I’m breaking free from Apple. That means no more Apple Books for my epubs. That also means, I’m now looking for a good solution to annotating epubs/pdfs (mostly highlights) on Android. I’d loveeee it it had some bring your own storage sync (webdav) or just plays well with the local storage for using syncthing etc. What are the best options?
