Hm, interesting project. In case you want to play with linux x86_64 assembly but you don't have linux, you can do it in a browser

Reminder that even this depravity is not the lowest they can or will ever go. There is no lowest, most depraved point. This is true whatever the current depravity in the news is. There is no rock bottom. Stop waiting for them to reach it. They are in the business of inventing new, more depraved rock bottoms to reach.

ZFS keeps a history of commands run against a specific pool using the
history subcommand to zpool:

zpool history

More details are available using the -i and -l parameters. Note that ZFS
will not keep the complete pool history forever and will remove older
events in favor of never ones.

A heartfelt welcome to everyone who's left Bluesky recently to join the Fediverse! Don't mind the endless discussions, use your content warnings abundantly and please write alt texts to your media. And most importantly: have fun!
We're glad to having you here!

Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.

My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

Jesus. I guess this is the *real* danger of Grokipedia, rather than the idea that *people* might choose to trust it. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/24/latest-chatgpt-model-uses-elon-musks-grokipedia-as-source-tests-reveal

Apparently, Hootsuite's "Terms and Conditions" are flexible enough to include supporting ICE. An entity tied to deadly force and open human-rights abuses.

Their CEO Irina Novoselsky says the ICE contract stands. I say that my subscription doesn't. And that I will be advocating daily for organizations that I work with to drop Hootsuite. It doesn't matter that they're Canadian - when they don't support Canadian values.

I’ve sent an email to their leadership asking for a clear definition of what "honouring terms" actually looks like in the context of violence. If you’re a user, it’s time to ask the same.

oh this is interesting

a while ago ransomhouse leaked data from some chinese microcontroller company, and it seems nobody really noticed

this company also makes TPMs

a lot of the data looks crypted, but there’s some plaintext in there

including listing files (which for C code seems to be preprocessor debug-output, with single character prefix denoting what the preprocessor did, comments and preprocessor directives and preprocessor output are ALL included) for the firmware of a production TPM implementation

the anti-glitch stuff in particular seems like the usual fare for such, but if you haven’t seen such before then it looks kind of weird:

enum
{
    Cpy_OK = 0x55a55aa5,
    SetData_OK = 0x7CCF62F2,
    XOR_OK = 0x6A17D34A,
    RandomSort_OK = 0x51261DC5,
    CheckOrder_OK = 0x54830C23,
    Reverse_OK = 0x43C94C71,

    IsZero_YES = 0x7a7a7a7a,
    IsZero_NOT = 0x07070707,
    IsOne_YES = 0x6a6a6a6a,
    IsOne_NOT = 0x06060606,
    Cmp_EQUAL = 0x4a4a4a4a,

before preprocessor:

    // Load the persistent data
    UINT32 infoAddr = 0;
    ret = Cpy_U32_sum((UINT32*)&go, (UINT32*)NV_GO_START, sizeof(go) >> 2,
        xor_sum3(&go, NV_GO_START, sizeof(go) >> 2));
    if (ret != Cpy_OK) {
        TPM_ATTACK();
    }

after preprocessor:

    // Load the persistent data
    UINT32 infoAddr = 0;
    ret = Cpy_U32_sum((UINT32*)&go, (UINT32*)((((0x6C800 + ((0x5) << 9)) + ((0x2) << 9)) + (0x00000200)) + (0x00000200)), sizeof(go) >> 2,

You will notice nobody got shot yesterday, when you were out in your masses, threatening to burn shit down.

I told you - your only safety is in numbers, and your only way out is shutting it down so hard NOTHING goes forward, including the fascist project.

If they can get you isolated, they mean to FUCKING KILL YOU. That's the score. Be fucking mad at me about it if you want but STOP DENYING REALITY or you will GET THE WRONG FUCKING ANSWER.

It's not often I find myself disagreeing with mhoye, but this is one of those instances - not about the results, where I agree perfectly, but about the reasons.

As I see it, we as a profession have allowed all of the ways we can relate with the users of the software we write to be shoved aside, so that the only way most people experience software is as a contract. The rest follows.

2. If you want shorter mini-guides in a Mastodon post format, I have compiled a list here: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109323504324459171

3. For more of my tips on Mastodon, you can click on this hashtag: #TinyMastodonTip

4. For excellent Mastodon advice, guidance, and news, you should follow this account: @mastodonmigration

5. For great Mastodon tips all year long, follow this one: @FediTips

6. And this hashtag: #FediTips

Tiny Mastodon Tip for Newcomers

If you notice on someone's
Mastodon profile they have one or more website link(s) that are in green and/or have a checkmark besides it (the presentation will vary per app):

This means they have verified this website ✅

It is a method to add identity
verification, for free, for each user who wants it. It proves that this person has control of this website (can add a link of their Mastodon profile to it).

This is especially recommended to do
for organizations who might want to demonstrate they are an official account

It is quite simple to do ✨
You simply need to be able to add a link to the website you want to use. Here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/111778923683518017
