This both real and a decent metaphor, so it is time for me to re-tell a story.

Ever heard of The Ping Of Death?

There was a couple of years there - years, hand to god - where you could throw a single malformed or too-large packet across the network at any IP you could see, and if you malformed it just right for its OS, you could crash the machine. You could kill a Windows machine with one line in cmd.exe.

It was bad, but almost nobody knows how bad.

I'm sure the situation has improved - I don't think winsock.dll or Wolverine have ever had a proper pentest teardown, even for historical amusement's sake - but I have to assume, given that we live in a world where there are no specialized chips anymore, and everything from the boutique brand-namiest NICs to the dodgiest junk you'd find in a Shenzhenese dumpster is a general-purpose CPU running some tiny OS of questinably determinate provenance, that... well, you have to wonder.

Because you don't have a "network interface card", you have an ARM cpu, maybe even a whole-ass ARM SOC, handling ethernet frames on one side and talking PCI on the other.

You don't even have SD cards, because "memory cards" don't exist. That terabyte of storage the size of your thumbnail you bought? That's an ARM CPU managing the wear levels on its crap-ass flash backing storage while pretending to be a hard drive on the other side.

You don't know how many computers are in your computer.

(This is not to be a doomsayer, it's always an arms race. But for every NPM worm out there, I often wonder what's happening, quietly, that we can barely see because we don't know where to look. Sometimes I wonder if the Museum Of Malformed Packets - hi, @lcamtuf, much respect - shuttered before we recognized that it shouldn't have been a museum, it should have been a social network.)

As an aside: I also often wonder how much of modern computing efforts are spent making computers pretend they're something they are manifestly not.

CPUs pretending to be single-thread-single-core devices, so programmers build elaborate dispatch multiplexers on top of them, OSes aping PDP11s for their guest code,. SOCs pretending to be hard drives, etc etc.

There's this wild live-action plato's cave metaphor-psychodrama going on in all of our machines all the time and ... nobody knows that.

Al Qassam Announces Martyrdom of Leader Raed Saad


Al-Qassam leader Raed Saad, Commander of the Gaza Brigade and Deputy Chief of Staff of Al-Qassam (the second in command), one of the most prominent resistance figures, ascended to martyrdom in the treacherous zionist strike west of Gaza City yesterday morning.

Raed Saad served as the commander of the Gaza Brigade in the early 2000s. In the 2010s he founded and led the Qassam Naval Force. He joined the Qassam General Staff and military council after 2014 and became the head of Operations until 2021.

Saad established the elite of the Qassam Brigades (the “Nukhba”) and is the mastermind behind the Walls of Areeha plan to crush the Gaza Division and formed the basis for Al-Aqsa Flood.

Below we publish Al-Qassam’s statement honoring the fallen fighter.


“Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow (by martyrdom), and some are still waiting, and they have not changed (their commitment) in the least.”With all pride, honor, defiance, and challenge, the Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades exalt the ascension of one of its great men, a commander from its General Military Council:
The martyred commander, Mujahid/ Raed Saeed Saad “Abu Muath”
Head of Military Manufacturing

Who ascended to glory as a martyr along with a number of his mujahideen brothers, yesterday, Saturday, 22 Jumada al-Akhira 1447 AH, corresponding to 13/12/2025, following a cowardly assassination operation carried out by the criminal zionist enemy in a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement. Our great commander departed to his Lord after a great and long journey of sacrifice and giving in various fields of jihad and resistance, crowned by his leadership of the Al-Qassam manufacturing system, which formed one of the most important pillars in the creativity of our resistance on October 7th, and then its infliction of heavy losses on the occupation army and confronting its aggression against our people during the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle.

By assassinating our leaders and our people, and its daily and continuous aggression against our people in various areas of the Gaza Strip, the Nazi enemy has crossed all red lines. It is disregarding “Trump’s plan”, and Trump and the mediators must bear responsibility for these dangerous transgressions and this repeated rampage against our people, our resistance fighters, and our leaders.

Our right to respond to the occupation’s aggression is guaranteed, and we have the right to defend ourselves by all means.

We announce today that the Al-Qassam leadership has appointed a new commander to carry out the tasks previously held by our martyred Sheikh Abu Muath. We affirm that our path of jihad will not stop, and the assassination of leaders will not weaken us; rather, it will increase our strength, steadfastness, and determination to continue the path they drew with their blood.

This has always been the custom of our great people and the mujahid Hamas movement, which today completes 38 years of jihad, giving, and sacrifice for the sake of Allah, then for Palestine and its Al-Aqsa, and in defense of our people and our just cause. Allah is with us and will not let our deeds go to waste. “And Allah is predominant over His affairs, but most of the people do not know.”

Indeed, it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom..

@unruly
Democracy in the workplace is what used to be what was meant by socialism, just his left wing used to mean equality in economic and political decision-making.

The problem with labels is that those seeking political power love to expropriate them.

Politicians and parties that say that they’re on the left or on the right is not as interesting as looking at what they promote.

Left is defined by those that promote equality. The right the opposite.

Fedis, seid mir gegrüßt!

Ich bin der Held der Fahrpläne in Hannover im Herzen von Niedersachsen🙋🏻‍♂️😁

Diese Woche wird eine kurze Woche, ab Freitag wird Resturlaub abgebaut und die Familie besucht.

Am Wochenende konnte ich den Bahnhofsumbau abschließen, ich muss nur noch die Linien programmieren. Es sind auch weniger Weichen geworden und 34 Fahrstraßen konnte ich einsparen. Dennoch bin ich flexibel (soweit bei vollautomatischen Betrieb möglich) und konfliktfreier unterwegs als vorher.

Habt einen schönen Start in die Woche, wir lesen uns :blobcatcomfywave:

Ein dieseltriebiger Zug steht auf einem Bahnhofsgleis. Der Zug ist blau und grau mit einem roten Streifen. Am Bug des Zuges ist ein weißes Logo mit den Buchstaben "VGH" angebracht. Über dem Logo steht "Versicherung". Unter dem Logo steht "Nacht und Wir". Die Gleise sind von Schotter bedeckt. Im Hintergrund befindet sich eine grüne Landschaft und ein Gebäude.

US has an absolute freedom of speech, as long as the speech compliant with today’s Trump’s mood 👌

The proposal says “the data element will require ESTA applicants, external to provide their social media from the last 5 years”, without giving further details of which specific information will be required.


I guess the matching response would be for EU to demand the same and then scan for anyone who posted “abolish the EU” - after all, what’s your point of coming to an economic zone you want to abolish? That is, if we wanted closely mirror MAGA’s logic here…

Au Chili, victoire du candidat d'extrême-droite José Antonio Kast, 35 ans après la fin de la sinistre dictature de Pinochet. Anti-IVG, homophobe, anti-migrants, il a fait campagne sur la promesse d'expulser massivement des réfugiés vénézuéliens et d'opérer des coupes budgétaires. Il a fait ses armes auprès d'un conseiller de l'ancien dictateur chilien. Une prise de pouvoir tout à fait légale, donc. Enfer...
