I'm excited to announce our "Out-of-Band" series; these articles focus on the security risks of management devices like BMCs, serial servers, and IP-enabled KVMs. "Out-of-Band, Part 1: The new generation of IP KVMs and how to find them" is now live at:

In a private #Github organization, in a private repo filled with NDA code, Github decided that to automatically start reviewing that code using Copilot.

Mind you, Copilot is disabled for this organization.

Could we please just fucking not ?! Not even mentioning the fact that the Github organization didn't enabled this, there is no data policy to be found in sight. I have no clue what Copilot does with the data after it "reviewed" the code and I could potentially be breaking the signed NDA.

I bet my fiancée that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

It is frankly obnoxious that portal.office.com now redirects to a Copilot page with no direct link to Outlook, Word, etc. (you know, Office...).
God, this bubble burst is going to be so brutal

Enormous long shot.
I lost my necklace today (Sunday June 15th 2025).
Probably somewhere in Brussels during the #IkTrekEenRodeLijn #RodeLijn manifestation.
It was a custom made present from my wife.
If anyone found this, or sees it posted as found somewhere, please contact me! 😢

Hey, cis dudes. I need you to show up as allies at trans #pride events this month. Don’t make a big deal out of it. Don’t expect to win awards for it. Don’t hit on people. Don’t make it about you. Just swell our numbers.

And stand between us and the cops and transphobes, please.

#boost welcome.

@lowqualityfacts Um, she's right though. I think mastodon is less then 10M users? Good luck..
@lowqualityfacts they deserve 10 billion boosts and you're so close now!

@lowqualityfacts

Make the number bigger.

@AinsleyLowbeer @lowqualityfacts

The 70 Billion Low Quality Facts Boost,
Where are they hiding?

@lowqualityfacts
They are adorable. I hope you get all the boosts.😻
@lowqualityfacts you've got 15 now so only 7 more to go.
@lowqualityfacts
769 more boosts to do my part.
@lowqualityfacts the alt text is a bit misleading because only Fishy is on the framed stitched art while Ruby is on the wood floor beside it and him. anyway i would have boosted this even if it was just Fishy and Ruby with no boost request lol
@lowqualityfacts Your fiancée MUST be wrong about the population of the planet because my local McDonald's says, "Over 100 Billion Served". Either that or it's proof that we're being visited by aliens!

@lowqualityfacts

Innumerate mouth breathers will be the reason our grandchildren consider cats a food group. I'ma callin' it.

@lowqualityfacts

It is a little-known fact that a BILLION is a thousand Millions. (that's— 1/10% —NOT 1%)

People who argue about the significance of statistics often get this wrong.

10 billion is THIRTY times the population of the U.S.

If your fiance marries you, they are a fool. But I suspect you knew that.

@lowqualityfacts A Finland study indicates there are actually more than 12 billion people on Earth.
Earth Could Have Billions More People Than We Ever Realized

Is our little blue marble of a planet actually a lot more crowded than we thought? A new study suggests we've been significantly undercounting populations in rural areas, because of the grid-based method typically used to count people.

ScienceAlert
@lowqualityfacts Early intelligence reports indicate you’ve likely obliterated all previous mastodon boosting records, it’s incredible, no one’s ever done what you’ve done before!!!

@rolfsf @lowqualityfacts

We’ve got this 💪

Here’s xkcd on comprehending gigantic numbers:

@lowqualityfacts
I don't know what a "billion boost" is, but I can't imagine it would be that hard to get 10 of them.
@lowqualityfacts 10B? That's nothing :'p
@lowqualityfacts 57 already! You're halfway there!

@lowqualityfacts is it worldometers.info?

9 billion by 2027 - January?

Tim.

@lowqualityfacts
I boosted it TWENTY billion times on my other account. (I hope it’s not blocked by your instance.)
@lowqualityfacts i boosted 7 billion times, but it only shows as one

@lowqualityfacts

I’ve got to remember what little C I once knew, get used to my new Linux os again after 10 years away from it and perhaps re-learn a little BASH scripting, and the I’m gunna hack your instance to give you 54 billion-squillion boosts!

Just you wait and see!! 🤣🧐🧐👍👍

@lowqualityfacts

Wasn't there a Mastodon account with the display name "10 billion", so that with a couple of carefully timed boosts you could see
10 billion and 8 others favorited your post

@lowqualityfacts Your cats have opinions on this
@lowqualityfacts ten billion is hardly a mile of freeway these days

@lowqualityfacts

Yeah. It's fine this time.

Usually- I am a dog person, but hey ... Like the email virus where the developer, confessing his incapability, asked for manual distribution of his mail 🤣

@lowqualityfacts

Boosting to affirm the awesomeness of those cats and that they deserve millions and billions and trillions of boosts.

@anarchademic @lowqualityfacts. Wanda Gág nailed it with that one.
