PSA: If you used Claude Fable-5 today with memory turned on you just violated all your NDAs. Anthropic requires a 30 day retention policy including human review, and the memory feature (on by default) searches past chats for context, so sensitive historical chats get pulled in.

Signal is 100% right. The greatest trick governments ever pulled was convincing people that freedom and privacy are obstacles to safety. What we are witnessing is not child protection. It is the construction of a surveillance architecture that will eventually monitor, profile, categorize and control every aspect of our digital lives. Today it is age verification and content scanning, tomorrow it is digital identity, then financial monitoring, then behavioural scoring, then access to services conditioned on compliance. The destination is not difficult to see. It is a technocratic system where every interaction is tracked, every transaction recorded, every opinion assessed and every citizen reduced to a data profile managed by governments and corporations working hand in hand. A form of digital neo feudalism where a small unelected class controls the platforms, the infrastructure, the money and ultimately the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. The argument that only criminals should fear surveillance is as absurd as saying only criminals need freedom of speech. Privacy is not evidence of wrongdoing, it is the foundation of human dignity, individual sovereignty and genuine liberty. The UK government is asking citizens to accept the presumption of guilt simply to communicate online. To prove who they are, verify their age and allow their devices to inspect their content before they can participate in modern society. History teaches us that every power granted to the state eventually expands beyond its initial mandate. The technology introduced to detect one form of content today will be used to police entirely different forms of expression tomorrow. The choice before us is not between privacy and child protection, it is between preserving a free society, or constructing the infrastructure of a digital prison that will further enslave us.

If you're wondering how I get those colorized ping outputs. I use grc (Generic Colourizer). It works with so many tools straight out of the box (df, lsblk, free, ps and more). You can quickly install it with your package manager, for example: $ sudo dnf install grc Add these lines to your ~/.bashrc file if you use Bash: GRC_ALIASES=true [[ -s "/etc/profile.d/grc.sh" ]] && source /etc/profile.d/grc.sh Then reload your shell: $ source ~/.bashrc For Zsh, add this to your ~/.zshrc: [[ -s "/etc/grc.zsh" ]] && source /etc/grc.zsh Then reload: $ source ~/.zshrc For other shells, you'll have to look up their manuals.
Quick Networking tip: You can actually drop zeros in an IP address and it still works. For example: 10.20.0.2 → 10.20.2 10.0.0.68 → 10.68 Both reach the same host. It’s one of those neat little IP quirks I use in labs , saves me a few keystrokes every time 😅

Also: SystemD sucks
🚨 NEWS: @comma_ai Ditches systemd for 250-Line Bash Init — Doubles comma 4 Boot Speed! @comma_ai announced today that the next release of its comma 4 driver assistance hardware will boot twice as fast by replacing the full systemd init system with a custom, ultra-light 250-line Bash script. “Who needs systemd?” Posted @comma_ai emphasizing the lean, purpose-built approach tailored specifically for their Qualcomm platform. A clean win for minimalism and performance in embedded automotive systems. ⚡ x.com/i/status/2052155066581…

Just a month later and... 🇪🇺 ChatControl is back! Now they're trying to pass an even more far reaching ChatControl law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any of the EU countries votes The new proposal: - total mandatory surveillance of ALL text chats, emails and social media in the EU - obligatory registration of your ID/passport to your chat, email or social media account - minimum age requirement for chat, email and social media apps of 16 (!) The only way to stop this law is if EU countries veto it Read more here by @echo_pbreyer: patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-co…

Freedom won today! 🚫 No ChatControl in EU Now keep this snooping on people's private messages off the 🇪🇺 EU's agenda forever please

Read our latest crazy story on the spy who was so successful at pretending he's someone else that the GRU "killed off" his real persona and stranded him with the fake one. Once a fake environmental expert, now he's part of the Russia disinformation machine theins.ru/en/inv/286477

💥 Wiz Research has uncovered a critical Redis vulnerability that's been hiding for 13 years We found RediShell (CVE-2025-49844): an RCE bug in Redis that affects every version of Redis out there. It's rated CVSS 10 - the highest severity possible. The vulnerability lets attackers send a malicious Lua script, escape the sandbox, and execute code on the host. About 330,000 Redis instances are exposed to the internet right now. 60,000 have no authentication. Over 75% of cloud environments are running Redis. Redis released a patch this weekend and we responsibly disclosed everything upon discovery. Huge thanks to the Redis team for their fast response and collaboration ❤️ If you're running Redis: update immediately. Our blog has the full technical breakdown and security recommendations >> wiz.io/blog/wiz-research-red…

I've discovered via code review: 2 zero-click RCE logic bugs in Linux kernel Bluetooth & userspace (late 2024). Exploitable to register rogue HID w/o auth. One allows bonding w/o confirmation, bypassing CVE-2023-45866 @marcnewlin patch. Details: ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024…

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

The ESP32 “backdoor” mentioned in the article from Bleepingcomputer is another Nothingburger. Rob is correct.
It's not a "backdoor". It's just low-level access to the device.
