Guess I buried the lede on this Oct 10 story, which broke the news about a record 29+ Tbps DDoS from the Aisuru IoT botnet.

krebsonsecurity.com/2025/10/dd

Because tons of sites are writing about this latest quarterly report from Cloudflare is if this is somehow news.

blog.cloudflare.com/ddos-threa

To my mind, the real news is that we're way past 30 Tbps capability with this botnet, and we're safely moving into a territory (terrortory?) where only Cloudflare can handle these attacks. This is problematic on a multitude of levels, and it's probably worth restating that much of the DDoS for hire industry still hides behind CF. And apparently 68 percent of phishing sites, if these stats are credible.

I think I'm going to do this three ways:

1 - I'm going to publish more zines.

2 - I'm going to set up a mailing address where people can mail zines and I'll put them out for sale.

3 - I'm going to set up an email address where people can mail PDFs and I'll print them and sell them as zines.

(for 2 and 3, I'll offer to sell on commission if the author wants me to mail back a check/send a paypal payment when they sell.)

재활용 쓰레기통 씌울 비닐을 꺼내려고 보일러실 문을 열었더니 어느새 그 틈으로 쑉 들어가버려서 (그 먼지 구덩이에. ߹ - ߹) 츄르로 간신히 끌어내서 정색하고 야단을 쳤더니 알아들은건지 서재방 옷장에 들어가서 이러고 새침하게 있음. 😑

There's still one in the queue (and one embargoed until tomorrow,) but here's my latest for - starting with one from last week I hadn't mentioned yet: a project to generate sound which can be picked up by smartphone microphones to help locate people (or, I guess, their phones) buried under rubble after a disaster.

Over the last couple of days I visited my parents and used this opportunity to migrate my fathers PC from Windows 10 to Linux Mint (take that, Micro$oft), as this machine is only used for web browsing and light office use.

Instead of spending Money on a license, I upgraded the Fujitsu i5-4690 8G RAM PC to a Lenovo m720q i5-9400t 16G RAM PC, which ironically used to run Windows as well.

To migrate - and more importantly - back up all his files, I installed UrBackup, which now runs in a bastille jail on the local FreeBSD NAS. It's now automatically backing up all the files, backed by (the amazing) OpenZFS.

And to allow remote access for remote assistance, I also installed Rustdesk in another bastille Jail, but this time on the FreeBSD NAS at my place. This now allows easy access without having to rely on the benevolence of TeamViewer anymore.

Thanks to FOSS software, I only spent a little over €120 on the new hardware and a couple of hours of time, half of which was spent talking to family. It was all well spent, in my opinion. 😁🎅🎄

The problem with following mail domains used for registration of propaganda spam bots is, that they are recycling them quickly, burn them after few registered accounts and don't reuse them. So exchanging block lists won't help, unless we would be able to update on almost hourly basis. But maybe someone will be able to recognize some patterns in domain ownership... who knows.

Fediverse/ActivityPub is relatively spam-resistant scheme... if registrations are closed. Being doorkeeper, allowing registrations of serious new users open, is a challenge. But as I believe in open society, I don't want to give up. This is what *they* want from us ... to form isolated social bubbles.

Seit dem ich Anfragen bekomme wie

„kannst du mir die Grafik nachbauen, ich brauche den Balken der jetzt gelb ist in blau und Chatty bekommt das nicht hin.“

worauf meine Frage ist:
„meinst du die Tabelle, in der die Kopfzeile Gelb eingefärbt ist, das soll blau werden?“

„Ja genau die Grafik, da ist für chatty zu viel Text drin.“

Meine Antwort:
„Die Grafik ist eine Tabelle, einfach in einem Tabellenbearbeitungsprogramm deiner Wahl öffnen, oberste Zeile markieren und aus gelb blau machen.“

Was ich am liebsten antworten will.

You know the way native English speakers are often tickled by German compound words and how they read like hyper-specific words?

Is it more or less common for languages to have that thing of mashing words together?

Find myself wondering if German only seems unusual among Latin alphabet languages and if it might be more typical at the global level.
