From the WTAF dept:
Malware developers are now adding text about nuclear and biological weapons to their spyware to evade AI-based security scanners.
tl;dr: The inclusion of content that LLMs are trained to refuse -- such as information about nukes and bioweapons -- can effectively prevent the LLM from continuing to analyze the threat.
"This header appears designed for AI-mediated analysis, not for Node, Bun, or Python. It attempts to derail scanners or analyst copilots that feed the beginning of a file to a language model without clearly isolating the content as untrusted data. In weak pipelines, this can cause refusal behavior, prompt confusion, context pollution, or premature classification before the scanner reaches the actual malware."

IDK why, but this reminds me of the Calvin & Hobbes cartoon where Calvin asks his mom for stuff she will never give him in a million years, and then he just asks for a cookie.

CERCO COINQUILIN3 IN AREA URBANA DI BOLOGNA DA AGOSTI 2026 A NOVEMBRE 2027
La casa è del tutto arredata, collegata coi mezzi, illuminata benissimo e ha un cappotto termico che funziona, la stanza è abbastanza grande e senza il caos radioattivo di coinquimerda pure carina, l'affitto è 300 euro al mese a testa più bollette variabili ma comunque basse, il proprietario non sa fare il suo lavoro e vorrei abitare con gente che non maltratta la mia gatta e non è transfobica dunque ci provo io

People have strange heroic ideas about the Viking Period. The reason is that they specifically read *heroic* literature, much of it written as historical semi-fiction hundreds of years later. It's like basing your ideas about the 1100s on Walter Scott.
Viking Period archaeology in Scandinavia is deeply unheroic. It concerns itself overwhelmingly with the non-Viking activities of farmers.
Most runestones deal with modest land inheritance.

This kickstarter may be of interest to a few on fedi. Youtube poledancing archer who makes videos about historical archery, fantasy combat, & um... pole dancing, is doing a crowd funder to get hold of a properly fitting set of plate armour to do experiments in what it's possible to do in full armour. Is about 70% funded with 10 days to go.
If the project is funded we can finally answer the important historical question. Is it possible to pole dance in full plate armour?

His Grace (#notOurCat) was inside our home, on the couch with us, and we had a window open so he was joined by the Lady (who in reality is quite afraid of us).
Outside we could see a few wild mid-sized big cats, and then one of them got close to the window and he wanted to enter too. I closed the window, and he remained outside, looking at us with an Innocent Cat Look, asking us why we were so cruel and we didn't allow him on the couch too!
(they were *wild*. not domestic. not even feral (or somewhat feral, like his Grace and the Lady). *wild*)

The most important institutional websites I'm using have hours - or even days! - of planned downtimes.
Some customers, having a small institutional website visited by 3 persons (and 300 bots) per day: "We've been down for 20 seconds!!! We've been OFFLINE!!!"

I'd propose a coordinated, monthly maintenance window. That sends a combined signal "We are all down today because we make things better for you". With an online community of helpful admins helping their online neighbours to fix issues without being pressured to reduce downtime to absurd minimums. Would also give users a day to do other things, like going out and meet people :)

@Giorgia Mecojoni signora Presidente del Consiglio, volevo porre alla sua attenzione una conseguenza forse inaspettata delle continue proroghe degli sconti sulle accise, ovvero l'affollamento dei nostri distributori di benzina da parte di extracomunitari¹ con auto di grossa cilindrata che fanno rifornimento coi nostri carburanti.
Cosa che tra l'altro risulta essere un comportamento ancora più contro natura di una relazione amorosa omosessuale: da tempo immemore la tradizione era che fossimo noi a recarci da loro ad acquistare carburanti economici.

I keep seeing a lot of advice for writers saying "don't use this, don't use that" because it will show up as AI written.
I hate it. It makes me worried. A lot of the "AI" traits in writing overlap with storytelling language. Spoken language.
When I write, as a storyteller, I use em dash when I would take a breath or a pause on stage, instead of finishing a thought. I use triple adjectives because in spoken word they add to the rhythm.

@Vespa cartolaia @Whiskey a gogo , per caso vi è arrivato un pacco per me? da DHL? (visto? so persino da che corriere arriva!)
qui dicono di essere passati a consegnare mercoledì scorso senza trovare nessuno (in un orario in cui c'erano tre persone in casa), per cui sto cercando il pacco nei punti di consegna, e sicuramente potrebbe essere arrivato da voi :D
(non è vero, l'assistenza del negozio da cui ho ordinato è riuscita a dirmi in che punto ritiro era finito, all'ultimo giorno prima che il pacco tornasse indietro. grumble. grumble.)
(però ho ritirato, e tutto è bene quel che finisce bene)

@Whiskey a gogo @Vespa cartolaia in questi giorni mi è venuta una curiosità (se potete dirlo senza violare NDA o simili): i punti di ritiro dei vari corrieri in generale sono pagati un fisso, oppure c'è (anche) un tot per ogni pacco gestito?
(me lo stavo chiedendo pensando a quanti incentivi hanno le aziende per far scaricare i pacchi al punto ritiro e fregarsene anziché fare il servizio per cui vengono pagati)

First of all, *most* of FOSS security reports nowadays (that I see in #curl and #apache httpd) are non-threatening.
They are edge cases under highly constructed preconditions. Yes, not impossible, but unlikely to be ever encountered.
Before LLMs, no researcher would have invested the time to explore those scenarios. my guess.
Yes, we fix them. But, they could also have been a bug report.💁🏻♂️

Il Corriere delle Sera pensa che la canzone che gli inglesi hanno portato a EuroVision sia a favore della Brexit.
Un estratto del testo della canzone:
Countin' in English doesn't cut the mustard
So sick of munching roly-poly with custard
I'm so bored with it, bored with it
Oh, what's the point of it, point of it? (Oh, ja, ja, ja)
I've always been a fan of aviation
I'm jumpin' on a plane to another nation
And all my pounds, they feel counterfeit
I need some euros to counter it
Cioè uno che canta che vuole lasciare l'Inghilterra e trasferirsi in Europa e convertire le sterline in euro, sarebbe a favore della Brexit. Complimenti al giornalista.

Dear people who make #corsets
I'm making myself a pair of lacing strips to use when fitting in-progress corsets: the corsets themselves will usually have eyelets every 2 cm, should I also put eyelets at the same distance on the lacing strips for accuracy, or do you usually make them with less eyelets?

I am open-sourcing the @freesewing infrastructure. The configuration of various servers and the services running on them, how the systems are set up, Ansible playbooks to manage them, ...
As people are actively closing up because of the threat of vulnerability discoveries by AI models, this is perhaps counter-intuitive, if not ill-advised.
However, I really want to try to get more people actively involved, including those who are interested in learning by doing.
