Two New Windows Zero-Days Exploited in the Wild — One Affects Every Version Ever Shipped
..."The vulnerable driver ships with every version of Windows, up to and including Server 2025," Adam Barnett, lead software engineer at Rapid7, said. "Maybe your fax modem uses a different chipset, and so you don't need the Agere driver? Perhaps you've simply discovered email? Tough luck. Your PC is still vulnerable, and a local attacker with a minimally privileged account can elevate to administrator."...

How an Israeli-backed firm spied on US churches to push propaganda
A new firm called Show Faith by Works has launched a geofencing campaign targeting Christian churches and colleges across the American Southwest with pro-"Israel" advertisements, a covert operation exposed in a striking investigation by Nick Cleveland-Stout, a Research Associate in the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute, and published by Responsible Statecraft.
The operation appears to be conducted without the awareness or consent of many pastors and congregations, some of whom have expressed alarm over the use of such invasive digital targeting by "Israel".
According to the company’s filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), the project aims to “geofence the actual boundaries of every Major (sic) church in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Coloardo (sic) and all Christian Colleges during worship times,” allowing the firm to “track attendees and continue to target [them] with ads” on behalf of "Israel".

Scientists Completed a Toxicity Report on This Forever Chemical. The EPA Hasn’t Released It.
...The assessment found that PFNA interferes with human development by causing lower birth weights and, based on animal evidence, likely causes damage to the liver and to male reproductive systems, including reductions in testosterone levels, sperm production and the size of reproductive organs...The EPA told ProPublica the report would be published when it was finalized, though the press office did not answer questions about what still needed to be done or when that would likely happen.
But the report’s final version was “completed and ready to post” in mid-April, according to an internal document reviewed by ProPublica. And two scientists familiar with the assessment confirmed the report has been finalized and ready for publication since April...
A draft version of the assessment was made public last year and drew objections from an industry trade group. The final version, which retained the calculations published in the draft report, was completed shortly before the EPA announced its intention in May to rescind and reconsider limits on the amount of PFNA and several other forever chemicals allowed in drinking water. The limits had been set last year by President Joe Biden’s administration.
Darya Minovi, a senior analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists, pointed to that pending change as a possible motivation for not publishing the PFNA assessment. “If you’re trying to roll back drinking water standards, you probably don’t want to release information that makes the case for why those standards are necessary,” said Minovi...
...“This is the suppression of information,” said Allen, who co-founded the National PFAS Contamination Coalition. “We have the science, and it shouldn’t be obstructed.”...

TIL about this Fediverse software database
like this
Kbin the software has died - technically there is still one small instance in Poland that uses it, but all others have ceased, and the software is no longer being maintained under that name - yet the project lives on in its fork Mbin.
Instances that include the kbin word - e.g. kbin.earth - only retain that now as a legacy.
Sadly I don't think anyone has heard from Ernst, the original developer and admin of kbin.social.
App support finally came to Mbin though, see "Interstellar".
A spiritual successor to Kbin's design philosophy that is very much worth checking out is "PieFed", which I am writing to you now using it 😀. Most apps that work with Lemmy also now work with it (except Thunder support still coming "soon~(TM)~" but available only in the beta version for now, not the Play Store one). PieFed is written in Python rather than the obscure Rust language so its pace of development has been extremely rapid in comparison to Lemmy and it now has a feature set well beyond that of either Lemmy or Mbin. If you want to access both the Threadiverse/Lemmy/Mbin communities/magazines as well as Fediverse/Mastodon-style content, Mbin is still your best bet as it was designed for exactly that, but for Threadiverse stuff it offers numerous advantages. Anyway it is so nice to have choices to pick from!😀
Features - PieFed
Nice things about PieFed: There are two other options for reddit-style federated forums, Lemmy and Kbin (recently forked to Mbin, which shows some promise). Having used them both extensively I came away unsatisfied, for a variety of reasons.PieFed

What's a good Google Drive replacement for syncing my Keepass database?
like this
Others have said it, but SyncThing all the way. Open source, been around for a decade, battle tested, no cloud, full control over everything.
I didn't see this mentioned, but you can also tell KeePass to auto reload the database if the file gets updated elsewhere. Makes it so you can run the same KeePass database on multiple devices with live/realtime updates. I've used this setup instead of vaultwarden/passbolt on several IT teams to keep the important stuff separate from the normal systems. It's not on by default usually, but right in the Basic Settings page under File Management.
I have KeePass+SyncThing on 3 laptops, 2 androids, and a home server. If I add a password to one of my androids while I'm out and about (and I have cell data), next time I sit down at my desk it's already available. Vice versa works, too. If my home server dies, the other devices don't care and keep syncing amongst themselves. I think I've had some version of this setup going since SyncThing released, I can't imagine using anything else.
Do note that since there is no cloud or infrastructure behind it, sync conflicts do happen when a device in the network goes offline for a while. It'll never get rid of files if there's an error syncing, but instead create a second copy with a timestamped filename. If this happens to your password db file, KeePass can then merge the two copies together and sort things out mostly automatically. Over the many years I've been using this, it doesn't happen as often when you're the only person using any of the devices that sync. It can happen a lot when you share the setup with someone else, though.

Pentagon sidelines military JAG lawyers ahead of deployments to US cities

One such officer was Lt. Gen. Joe Berger, formerly the Army’s top uniformed attorney.
Berger reportedly raised questions about a series of early decisions Hegseth made after being sworn in this past January, including the legality of using Texas National Guard personnel for civilian immigration enforcement and the mass firings carried out early in the Trump administration by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency.

Are there any good places to torrent music with consistent quality and tagging?
like this
I would like to move away from using spotify for music. Are there any torrenting sites where I can torrent music with high quality audio (~320kbps) tagged properly?
I strongly suggest to always tag your own music. I think expecting to always finding every album tagged to your own (or you media center's) specifications and preferences in one place is a fantasy. At least it's one that I've given up on more than a decade ago. Your music will always come from multiple different sources and I don't think there is (or ever can be) one golden goose.
So yeah, +1 for Musicbrainz Picard. I'll throw in Puddletag for small manual corrections.

The not-so secret language of fascist fashion
Take, for example, a black polo shirt with white stripes at the hems of the sleeves and collar from the activewear brand Will2Rise. It is sold under the name “3.0 Perry Polo”, a reference to the famous British brand Fred Perry, whose black and yellow design was “hijacked” by the far-right group Proud Boys since its founding in 2016. (In 2020, Fred Perry discontinued the model as a result). In the Will2Rise version, Fred Perry’s logo of golden laurels is replaced with a modern design of the white supremacist Patriot Front logo, which depicts an upright fasces surrounded by a circle.
While valorization of masculine power and fitness is an important part of this new aesthetics, women – who are traditionally associated with fashion and adornment – also have a role in shaping the look. Adhering to traditional ideas of gender, the new Republican look of extreme plastic surgery and heavy makeup combines with tradwives’ 1950s dress silhouettes of cinched waists and flowery patterns to celebrate hyperfemininity.
These styles not only allow their wearers to blend in, but they also play a role in normalizing an aesthetics of radicalism and violence. Sociologist and American University professor Cynthia Miller-Idriss, who studies extremism and polarization, has written that “it is simply much harder to recognize ideas as hateful when they come in an aesthetic package that doesn’t fit the image people hold in their heads about what white supremacists look like”. When the radical right looks like the mythical boy and girl next door, it’s hard to know who can be a threat.

I wonder how often they clean stuff up like this. That crossed my mind earlier, I’m sure there is a bunch of “dormant” software that could be cleaned out or made optional in some way.
But the making it optional idea is easier said than done. Especially from a standpoint of discoverability and usability.

in reply to paraphrand • • •Right, it was referenced in one of the articles that a bunch of legacy industrial machines likely still use this hardware, so the people using those old machines are probably going to have to go dig up PCI modems from that era without the Agere/Lucent chipset.
I'm sure you're right and there's lots of stuff they've missed like this over the years that they sort of kept on for compatibility but that opens exploits due to how old they are.

Further, there's companies that make custom-built modern machines that support classic PCI and modern operating systems and classic operating systems.
It's conceivable that legacy systems are using modern OSes with virtualization running a legacy OS and legacy PCI cards, for example. It's not beyond the realm of possibility.

This gets really old school.
