what are good ways to test web application security on the cheap before deployment?

Current status: reaping the informational benefits of a door-opening-and-closing sensor¹ on our machine room door coupled with a trail cam setup.

¹ It's a magnetic contact sensor hooked up to something that notices make/break state changes, logs them, and makes the current state accessible as Prometheus metrics that eventually drive a 'hey you left the door open' alert that has never actually triggered since we put the system in.

Today Thorsten Ball said he's the bottleneck. I too am the bottleneck and it made me think. https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/2/13/the-final-bottleneck/

I've been saying for a long time now that "open source AI" isn't really open source. We are being manipulated.

I'm glad to hear Meredith Whittaker is fully in agreement on this point.

Artist Jovino makes bulletproof vests! Instagram is a hard place to leave as an artist, since it works really well for that. I'd. Like to boost it here. Two of these are in honor of vests - Alex Pretti and Liam Conejo Ramos. We need art during these times.

Don't anthropomorphize LLMs, language is important. Say "the bot generated some text" not "the AI replied". Use "this document contains machine-generated text" not "this work is AI-assisted". See how people squirm when you call out their slop this way.

Have you seen the new chat platform? It's on Stoat. It's literally on Fluxer. It's on Discord with ads. It's literally on Root. You can probably find it on Spacebar. Dude it's on Squirrel Chat. It's a Rocket chat original. It's on TeamSpeak 3. You can collaborate on Chanty. You can go to Twist and work on it. Log onto Wire right now. Go to Viber. Dive into Zangi. You can Zulip it. It's on Pumble. Osmium has it for you. DCTS has your back. You can go around the corner at Sharkord and get set up. Mumble might be it. You can use Jitsi. You can get it with Chatmail. It’s a discourse exclusive. Nanochat it right this second

In all seriousness go to Fluxer

Hi friends,

As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement — this is terror and an abuse of power.

I have seen firsthand what happens when the government sends children and families to camps — detention centers, “facilities,” whatever name they choose to soften the blow. I know what that kind of incarceration does to a child’s spirit, to a family’s sense of safety and belonging. I cannot stand by while our government once again enables agents to strip people of their dignity, their rights, and the fundamental freedoms every human being deserves.

That’s why I’m urging you, with all the gravity this moment demands, to add your name to a petition telling Congress: abolish ICE.

When enough of us raise our voices together, we remind our leaders — and ourselves — that compassion is our strength, not cruelty.

Happy Friday 13th!

If you read through "Something Big Is Coming" and it raised alarm bells for you about generative AI (or, like me, about the author himself), please read through Zitron's annotated version. Matt Shumer has a vested financial interest in pushing AI and people who are not AI boosters mostly do not write in this way.
