What is Hackers' Pub?

@rotopenguinROTOPE~1 @ForitusCharlotte Okay.

Assuming I understand these things in principle but not in detail and am looking for actual help— used to, when I used macs, I could create a "Sparse Bundle Disk Image" and it was like a hard drive in a file, which could grow and and shrink returning space to the host disk as it shrank, and could be encrypted, and could be compressed. Is this a thing I can do from Linux? What's the best way? (Assume for this one question I don't care about Windows.)

과거 이라크, 아프가니스탄, 베네수엘라도 그렇고 이란도 그렇고 가서 두들겨패서 초토화시켰으면 투표권은 없어도 완전히 미국의 일부로 동작시킬 정도로 해당 지역을 정리하고 안정화시킨담에 재독립시키는것이 맞는것 같은데... 이게 시간과 돈이 많이 들어가니까 그냥 귀찮은듯 ㅎㅎ 근데 안그러면 IS 같은 정신나간 놈들이 나와서 저항하게 됨 아마 이란도 같은 트랙을 따라갈듯.

People priding themselves from moving away from OpenAI to Anthropic over the pentagon deal is laughable ...

If they had any ethic they wouldn't be using LLMs trained on stolen work to begin with, the least they could do is assume being asswipes.

Just some advice for job seekers: don’t create your resume by running the job description through AI.

I’m hearing from hiring managers in my company that bunches of resumes all have the exact same blocks of text, so clearly these AI chat bots all spit out nearly the same responses.

All of those resumes are just getting tossed into the Rejected pile. They can’t be trusted as accurate documents.

미국은 과거 몽골제국이 겪는 문제와 비슷한 문제를 겪는것 같은데 1) 적(?)을 신나게 두들겨패고 점령하는건 잘하는데 2) 점령한 지역을 통치/관리하는건 더럽게 못함 ㅎㅎ... 사실 미국뿐만 아니라 대다수 제국의 문제인것 같긴함... 이걸 잘 해야 영토를 넓히고 오래 가는데... 문제는 미국은 지금 내부도 엉망진창이니 새로 점령(?)한 영토를 관리하고 다스리는것을 잘할리가 없음;;

이란 폭격을 보며 오래전 읽었던 기사가 생각났다. 구독 없이 볼 수 있는 듯? 미국이 왜 아프간에서 철저히 실패했는지, 약간 인류학적으로 들여다본 기사. 몇 가지 기억나는 게, 카불 시민과 인구 대다수 rural area 주민 특히 여성들 상황이 매우 다름. 탈레반/지역 군벌 등은 예측 가능한 억압인데, 미군은 장미빛 약속을 하다 집을 폭파하거나 잡아가고, 더 악랄한 군벌에게 통치를 맡기는 등 예측 가능한 일상이 불가능하게 함. 점령군 정책(여성 해방 등)이 듣기 좋을지 몰라도 실제 주민들 상황을 이해할 능력과 관심이 너무 부족.

Trying to figure out how to lock down my CI runners as much as possible.

They need to be able to reach out to GitHub to HTTPS check out the source code, but I can't easily add a firewall rule for "can only clone this one repo from github".

Ideas beyond "open port 443 outbound to the entire internet"?

Gambling on issues of human suffering, e.g. wars, democratic backsliding, disasters, etc should be legally prohibited and ethically shunned. Polymarket, Kalshi and similar whatever-goes betting platforms needs to be boycotted and sued out of existence, for humanity's sake.

There's a new project called Holos which makes it a lot easier to host a Fediverse server on your own mobile device. You can follow the project at:

➡️ @HolosSocial

The official site explains how it works:

➡️ https://holos.social/how-it-works

To manage expectations, it's still in its early days and mainly for techy people at the moment. However, it will be interesting to follow its development 🙂

Holos is by the makers of the Mastodon/Fediverse mobile app Fedilab.

Reading this, again, you get the sense that someone at Anthropic knows how the intel community misleads by using definitions of words that are different than everyone else believes. And the people at OpenAI simply don't know or don't care about that.

Peut-être que, plutôt que de passer du temps à maintenir un historique git bien propre, vous trouverez plus de sens à prendre soin de l’application que vous développez, ou bien à aller arroser vos plantes ou caresser le chat ? »

@derickrDerick Rethans I'm surprised and disappointed that the PR is still open and people are seemingly engaging with it.

The copyright and license question (what code was this AI trained on and what was the license of that code) alone should mean the PR should be closed and locked.

@timwollaTim Düsterhus Reviewing a PR which should never have been created, let alone considered, is the same as "feeding the trolls".

It also leaves the impression that:
a) the PHP project is seriously considering the code for inclusion (otherwise, why review?)
b) creating a PoC for a feature using an LLM is acceptable in the PHP project (which it shouldn't be IMO - PoCs too often end of up in a project instead of being thrown away and it legitimizes theft)

@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) ⁠ I Am the Very Model of a Modern Cyber Specialist

I am the very model of a modern cyber specialist,
My posture is proactive and my mindset synergist,
I leverage blockchain paradigms resilient and immutable,
For threats that are, in practice, mostly quite disputable.

I’m zero-trust by principle, by strategy, by ritual,
Though flat networks persist beneath my slide deck quite habitual;
I champion quantum readiness, cryptography transitionable,
While SSH keys on our servers stay embarrassingly guessable.

I speak of AI governance, of ethics and alignment,
Of digital transformation in a cloud-first re-assignment;
I orchestrate compliance in a framework interoperable,
Yet patching legacy systems is declared economically implausible.

I circulate an SBOM with enthusiasm evangelical,
Though half the stack was compiled by interns quite mechanical;
I threat-model via workshops with sticky notes galactical,
But tracing actual packet loss I find impractical.

I quantify cyber maturity in gradients holographic,
With heatmaps operationally impressive and chromatic;
I benchmark risk velocity in dashboards most aesthetical,
While incident response remains distinctly hypothetical.

In short, in blockchain-quantum-zero-trust evangelistical,
In AI-driven thought leadership aggressively statistical,
In buzzword transformation visionary and fantastical,
I am the very model of a cyber strategist theatrical.

But when the logs erupt at 3 a.m. with evidence electrical,
I forward them to someone slightly more technical.

going back to my situation as a lyric contralto profondo, finding songs that flatter my voice has always been hard because baritone songs generally need a bit more heft behind them than I can manage, but tenor songs require covered head voice, a technique I am physically incapable of (only T-puberty vocal types can cover). I've been increasingly finding that the solution is to raid 18th century "tenor" rep because that's what flatters a deep but lightweight chest voice

Sigh, the AI Slop has now come for the PHP project.
