I'm pleased to share with you the greatest advancement in bottom-sheet technology since the invention of elastic.

So, I recently saw some quiet discussion about a paper where researchers reverse-engineered and disclosed some attacks against PhotoDNA, the very-super-duper-secret algorithm used by tech megacorps to scan for illegal images.

They didn't make any code public, and so... I did: github.com/ArcaneNibble/open-a

A _complete_ reverse-engineering and commented Python reimplementation of the algorithm from publicly-leaked binaries.

This means that studying the algorithm and any potential flaws is now much more accessible.

This took only about two days (once I knew that there even _was_ a leaked binary to compare against), which just goes to again show that security through obscurity never works.

CSMWrap: make UEFI-only systems boot BIOS-based operating systems

What if you have a very modern machine that is entirely UEFI-only, meaning it has no compatibility support module and thus no way of enabling a legacy BIOS mode? Well, install a CSM as an EFI application, of course!

CSMWrap is an EFI application designed to be a drop-in solution to enable legacy BIOS b

The static compilation of large fully functional programs has allowed anarchist computer-touchers to completely abolish state, and own the libs.

@schratze is endo being used here like "cisgender"?

I would be terrified if my endocrinologist talked like that.

Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts.

Punk. The whole point of punk was that if you know how to play 3 cords badly and have something to say just fucking go for it.
