I think I might switch my mailservers over to SmarterMail. It has this dandy feature that allows resetting the admin pass, remotely, without authorization.

I am fed up with forgetting the password to my OpenSMTPD+Dovecot root account - at least this will give me a solid experience.

*(Please note, this shitpost is highly sarcastic and refers to an actively exploited vuln in SmarterMail

Attackers With Decompilers Strike Again (SmarterTools SmarterMail WT-2026-0001 Auth Bypass)

Well, well, well - look what we’re back with. You may recall that merely two weeks ago, we analyzed CVE-2025-52691 - a pre-auth RCE vulnerability in the SmarterTools SmarterMail email solution with a timeline that is typically reserved for KEV hall-of-famers. The plot of that story had everything; * A

Restoring A 1924 Frigidaire B-9 Refrigerator Back To Working Condition

Before the refrigerator became a normal part of any kitchen, those with enough money to throw around could get an icebox, which used melting ice to cool food and drinks in a second compartment. As …

Google Books has been effectively killed by the last algorithm update

Google has seemingly entirely removed search functionality from most books on Google Books

Title. A few people have posted about this, but I figured out precisely what they did. There are three kinds of view on google books: full view,...

As always these days, I'm the only person 😷'd on my flight.

The air is awful on this equipment: 1925 ppm of CO₂ at my seat.

Person next to me has a productive cough …😮‍💨… (can tell by sound), yet she isn't masked. 🙄

Welp, whatever 🦠 she's spewing on this row, I guess I'm bringing it to .😔

As a reminder for those coming to @fosdem … please mask! It's not life-or-death anymore for most, but I lost a month of work (& missed my OWN keynote) last year when I got at FODSEM.

OpenAI shipped a HUGE upgrade to ChatGPT Code Interpreter and failed to document it (even in the release notes) - but ChatGPT can now pip/npm install packages and run code in Python, Node.js, Bash, Ruby, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, Swift, Kotlin, C and C++! simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/26/

ChatGPT Containers can now run bash, pip/npm install packages, and download files

One of my favourite features of ChatGPT is its ability to write and execute code in a container. This feature launched as ChatGPT Code Interpreter nearly three years ago, was …

Python Tip #26 (of 365):

When opening a file, use a "with" block... especially for writing!

Using a "with" block to open a file will close it automatically when the "with" block exits: pym.dev/creating-and-writing-f

So this:

with open("example.txt", mode="wt") as file:
file.write("An example file\n")

Is pretty much the same as this:

file = open("example.txt", mode="wt")
try:
file.write("An example file\n")
finally:
file.close()

🧵(1/4)

Write to a file in Python

To write to a file in Python, you can use the built-in open function, specifying a mode of w or wt and then use the write method on the file object.

저도 마침 궁금해져서 구글에서 '변기보다 더러운'으로 검색해서 아무 기사 6개를 읽어봤습니다. * MBC (2012-11-24)[1]: 변기 50 vs 설거지용 스펀지 10,000,000 vs 행주 (20,000변기) vs 도마 (200변기) (마리) * 코메디닷컴 (2023-11-19)[2]: 휴대폰 = 10변기 (부연 설명 없음. 박테리아 수?), 나머지 5가지 사물은 아예 변기랑 정량적으로 비교하지도 않음 * 헤럴드경제 (2025-02-17)[3]: 양말 = 20변기 (부연 설명 없음)

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:syu2mezhvsbj4mskycnu2iqk/post/3mdcv7npkn22s

MBC의 2012년 11월 24일 기사 '변기보다 더러운 수세미·행주‥'세균의 온상' 주방' 발췌: 한혜미/주부: "화장실보다는 깨끗하지 않을까..자주자주 설겆이도 하고, 그리고 행주같은것도 삶기도 하고 하니까 깨끗하지 않을까요?" 하지만 일반적으로 주방이 화장실보다 세균이 많은 것으로 조사됐습니다. 미국의 한 대학 연구결과, 변기에선 세균이 50마리 검출됐지만 설거지용 스펀지에서는 무려 1천만 마리가 나왔습니다. 또 행주는 변기보다 2만 배, 도마도 변기보다 2백배 세균이 더 많았습니다. 코메디닷컴의 2023년 11월 19일 기사 '"변기 또 의문의 승리"...변기보다 수배 더러운 용품들 무엇?' 발췌: 휴대폰(스마트폰) = 미국의 커리어 플랫폼 'Zippia'의 데이터에 따르면 평균적으로 우리는 하루에 약 96회, 10~12분 주기로 한 번씩 휴대폰을 만지고 있다. 애리조나 대학 연구에 따르면 휴대폰에는 변기시트보다 약 10배 더 많은 박테리아가 서식하고 있는 것으로 드러났다. 이러한 박테리아 중에는 대장균·황색포도상구균 등이 포함돼 있다. 따라서 통화를 할 때 액정이 피부에 닿으면 여드름, 모낭염 등 피부 문제가 생길 수 있다. 휴대폰의 세균은 전염병을 옮기는 주범으로 작용하기도 한다. 독감 등 전염병이 걸린 사람이 휴대폰을 만지고, 자신도 휴대폰을 접촉 후 코나 입을 만졌다면 세균이 호흡기에 들어가 전염될 수도 있다. 외출 후 귀가했다면 60~70% 알코올을 천에 묻혀 휴대폰 곳곳을 닦아 소독해야 한다.헤럴드경제의 2025년 2월 17일 기사 '변기보다 20배 더러운 ‘이것’…배설물에 진드기까지 세균 ‘충격’' 발췌: 영국의 한 매트리스 회사가 최근 사회관계망서비스(SNS) 레딧 사용자 1130명을 대상으로 진행한 설문조사 결과를 보면 잠자리에 들 때 양말을 신는 사람 가운데 30%만이 깨끗한 양말을 신은 것으로 나타났다. 연구팀이 하루 동안 신었던 양말 8켤레의 미생물 함량을 분석한 결과는 놀라웠다. 양말에서 화장실 변기보다 20배 많은 세균이 검출됐으며, 이는 일반적인 TV 리모컨보다도 더 불결한 수준이었다. 특히 먼지진드기, 곰팡이, 녹농균과 같은 감염을 유발할 수 있는 세균이 발견됐고, 25%의 양말에서는 배설물과 관련된 세균까지 검출됐다. 연구팀은 이러한 오염이 맨발로 걷거나 바퀴벌레 배설물 등 환경적 요인에서 비롯됐을 것으로 분석했다.
