On Fri we had the (yearly) curry night of ex- #DMADesign computer games people. First time I was able to turn up in ages. Thirty years since we made games, and some of us still do! This is where Lemmings, GTA and Hired Guns came from.
@kenshirriff Wow, a working printer, no wonder they kept it. #PC_LOAD_LETTER
The Space Shuttle had a 59-pound printer on board, known as the Interim Teleprinter. Putting this heavy printer in orbit cost $1.5 million per flight, but it was a key piece of flight hardware,
providing the astronauts with mission plans, weather reports, and other documents from Mission Control. Let's take a look inside... 1/12
@briankrebs I'm more concerned about Cloudflare being an effective MITM for HTTPS traffic.
Perhaps related to your concern, Cloudflare can't be an effective MITM if they reject the very sites which are most interesting for agencies requesting information (https://www.cloudflare.com/transparency/).
Cloudflare making headlines again, probably not the way it would prefer. From @dangoodin at Ars:
A familiar debate is once again surrounding Cloudflare, the content delivery network that provides a free service that protects websites from being taken down in denial-of-service attacks by masking their hosts: Is Cloudflare a bastion of free speech or an enabler of spam, malware delivery, harassment and the very DDoS attacks it claims to block?
Meanwhile, from Proofpoint:
Proofpoint is tracking a cluster of cybercriminal threat activity leveraging Cloudflare Tunnels to deliver malware. Specifically, the activity abuses the TryCloudflare feature that allows an attacker to create a one-time tunnel without creating an account. Tunnels are a way to remotely access data and resources that are not on the local network, like using a virtual private network (VPN) or secure shell (SSH) protocol.
First observed in February 2024, the cluster increased activity in May through July, with most campaigns leading to Xworm, a remote access trojan (RAT), in recent months.
Campaign message volumes range from hundreds to tens of thousands of messages impacting dozens to thousands of organizations globally. In addition to English, researchers observed French, Spanish, and German language lures. Xworm, AsyncRAT, and VenomRAT campaigns are often higher volume than campaigns delivering Remcos or GuLoader. Lure themes vary, but typically include business-relevant topics like invoices, document requests, package deliveries, and taxes.

X, formerly known as Twitter, has automatically activated a setting that allows the company to train its Grok AI on users’ posts.
X enabled the new setting by default.
The good news is that you can switch it off and also delete your conversation history with the AI.
@marielgm Followed my heart, fell in love, and started a family. Left my career and country, no regrets.
@freeschool When the worst you could ever imagine (your wildest dreams) doesn't even come close to how bad the truth is after discovering it, then it's time to expand the imagination.... yes, people can really be this evil....or yes, it can really be this dumb...etc.
