good lord. I pulled a microSD card out of a Raspi inside an IoT product and it appears they had some developer use a raspi to develop/test some software, and then they just yanked the SD card out of that machine and duped it on to all of their deployed products.
it's got .bash_history of the development process! there's git checkouts of private repos! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

The fun part of all this hooplah is that society still hasn't twigged that programmers are making $multi-million and even $multi-billion decisions on a regular basis.
Even more fun is that programmers haven't twigged, either.

I won't be using passkeys any time soon. https://me.micahrl.com/blog/concerns-about-passkeys/

@xgranade @emma whenever silicon valley tries to push one of these "the service provider tells the user how to use their computer"/"only my friends can join the treehouse" standards, I go back to the old story about Stallman's malfunctioning printer and the manufacturer who wouldn't let him fix it.
The entire POINT of open source was to prevent the manufacturer from holding such kind of power over the user. A whitelist-based compatibility is not an open standard, it's just business collussion.

Same.
Also since #passkeys are going to wind up bound to a phone, and the phones of unhoused people are frequently stolen (including by cops conducting violent sweeps of encampments) that's going to make it more difficult for them to access all the services which can now only be accessed online. (And nobody from Apple or Google, to the best of my knowledge, has addressed this, but you know, Silicon Valley doesn't give a fuck about anyone they can't extract economic rents from.)
And I use Linux for my desk and laptop computing, how the hell is that going to work if Apple or Google force me to use their toolchain instead of one I can use on all my devices such as 1Password.
This stinks of monopoly power, not security.

Without the help from NGI via @nlnet, I don't think I would have had the opportunity to work for a long time bettering the Open Source early boot and Mobile ecosystems like I did.
I don't have the platform I used to have to publish a call to action, but still, do read the following open letter. We need more programs spending more smaller grants to smaller projects to allow them to grow stronger and better.

All of you in Europe, or who may have any way to get closer to direct action, please help them.
Thank you again to the folks at @nlnet, via #NGI for the previous opportunity.

Reaching the final stages of the craft, there are less new features to show. Most of my work this week was sanding and burnishing edges, finishing stitching the feet, moulding them, hardening the inside and I got to gloss the "alive" parts (eyes and tongue). WE ARE ALMOST THERE!

Today I'm fixing the last few issues remaining before I can start writing real-world scrapers for the new backend!
I think all the major outstanding issues have now been fixed, though I'm sure that as soon as I start trying to use it, I will find a few stragglers.

So does CrowdStrike actually have any security value or is it just some dumb corporate compliance thing

they say that the hardest problems in computer science are something about naming and caches.
they are wrong. the hardest problems in computer science are batshit managers and the resulting burnout.

the saddest part of today? lots of lawyers are getting contacted for lawsuits against ClownStrike, but they can't take the cases because their computers aren't working either ;_;
