Let's do something Putin will hate. Let's rejoin the #EU. And if that means we have to have cheaper food and fuel; the right to live, work, and retire in 31 other countries; higher environmental standards; and peace secured in NI, then that's a price I'm willing to pay...

Randomly stumbled upon Sean Moss-Pultz's short post about Openmoko, featuring some photos of a working prototype of GTA03/3D7K, the cancelled successor to the Neo Freerunner that was being worked on around 2009. So far I have only heard verbal descriptions of how it looked like (usually described as "a soap dish" 😂) and seen photos of some casing mock-ups and bare PCBs, but never a complete device.

FYI to all you clever Palo people who disabled telemetry to mitigate CVE-2024-3400:

In earlier versions of this advisory, disabling device telemetry was listed as a secondary mitigation action. Disabling device telemetry is no longer an effective mitigation. Device telemetry does not need to be enabled for PAN-OS firewalls to be exposed to attacks related to this vulnerability.

Does anyone know how to enable WPML translation of footnotes inserted using the block editor? I can't find reference to them anywhere.

I'm so excited about this upcoming space mission.

NASA has just confirmed that the Dragonfly octocopter will launch in July, 2028. When it arrives, it will spend at least two years flying over the organic-rich sands of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.

If you’ve not seen the ‘kids or dogs in pubs’ discourse I’ll seem like such a weirdo here. But basically there’s a big fight going on around various bits of the internet about whether we should let kids or dogs (or both) in pubs. And I just think... it’s absolutely fine to have a variety of spaces catering to different people.

My thoughts on the CSRB report on Microsoft's breach last year. No not that breach, the other breach. No, the other other breach. Yeah, that one.

We fell short of where we needed to be on software updates, and we are making the necessary investments to not just deliver more timely releases, but also to communicate more broadly when we do.

wrote some stuff about the PuTTY ECDSA P-521 bug. probably useful if you want a general overview of what the problem is and who is likely to be affected.

I'm an abandonware radicalist; not only should abandoned software have its source released, abandoned hardware should be opened up to development to stop it being ewaste.
