In the hours following the release of CVE-2026-45250 for the project FreeBSD, site reliability workers and systems administrators scrambled to desperately rebuild and patch all their systems to fix a kernel stack overflow when validating permissions of the setcred(2) system call, allowing arbitrary code execution in the context of the kernel. This is due to the affected components being written in C, the only programming language where these vulnerabilities regularly happen. "This was a…
In the hours following the release of CVE-2026-45584 for the project Microsoft Windows, site reliability workers and systems administrators scrambled to desperately rebuild and patch all their systems to fix a memory safety vulnerability resulting in arbitrary code execution inside the virus scanner Windows Defender. This is due to the affected components being written in C++, the only programming language where these vulnerabilities regularly happen. "This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes…
I just got an email from Amazon saying they're finally going to respect robots.txt. Here's the verbatim email I got: We are writing to inform you that starting Monday, June 15, 2026, crawl preferences for Amazonbot will be managed solely through the industry-standard directives.

They could have won so hard it's not even funny because GitLab…

In the wake of copy.fail, there are more vulnerabilities that have been announced: Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo Dirty Frag Right now would be one of the best times for a supply chain attack via NPM to hit hard. Outside of Linux kernel patches from your distro, I think it's probably a good idea to put a moratorium on installing new software for a week or so.
They gave people a heckin tamagochi, what's not to like?
They are graphical processing units that can't process graphics.
Turns out everything DID NOT go offline somehow. Yay!
