In today's episode of "Can It Run Doom": DNS fucking TXT records.

Some absolute madlad (cough Adam Rice cough) compressed the entire shareware DOOM WAD, split it into around 1,964 chunks, shoved them into Cloudflare TXT records, and wrote a PowerShell script that reassembles and runs the whole goddamn game from DNS queries alone. Nothing touches disk. The DLLs are in DNS. THE FUCKING DLLS ARE IN DNS.

RFC 1035 was written in 1987. Those engineers are spinning in their graves fast enough to generate municipal power.

Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well.

Also lmao @ every blue team that has never once looked at their DNS query volume. How's that DLP policy working out for you.

It was always DNS.

Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile
people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend
now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source

What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???

No more AI yolo on your Mac! 🛡️
AI tools like Claude Code can read, write and delete any file your user can access. bx-mac gives you a native macOS sandbox to restrict any command to just the folders it actually needs. No Docker, no VM – just Seatbelt.

I played PolyGen at 39C3 and loved it! ❤️

We're planning an internal company event at sipgate (telco in Germany)
and would love to build PolyGen hardware for our colleagues (~5-10 units).
Purely internal, no customers/marketing, just for fun with full credit to you.

Would that be okay under CC BY-NC-SA?

We'll build everything ourselves from your open source designs.
Happy to share feedback and photos!

Thanks for the awesome project 💐

Picture 1: I kept wondering why rapper and undocumented immigrant Nicki Minaj was supporting the father of deportation and helping him promote the Melania movie.

Picture 2: Nicki Minaj just posted that Trump gave her a Trump Gold Card, meaning he fast tracked her US citizenship so ICE would not deport her to her home country, Trinidad and Tobago.

The US farmers may lose all their workers to deportation, but thanks to Trump they can now go to a Nicki Minaj concert while the farm goes bankrupt.

The AI bubble will pop soon enough but this piece is surprisingly hopeful about what will emerge from the rubble — LLMs to help us write code faster or translate dialog on the fly, all the things I consider to be AI assistants.

One unsung hero right now is HuggingFace who are working hard to foster open source models so that everyone has access and everyone can run LLMs on laptops, not in massive data centers, not controlled by one of 3 corporations.
