"U.S. forces deployed to war zones have ​been targeted using commercially available location data"

Just like I, @johnnyryan and others warned.

US Senator Wyden says it's time to "start treating the adtech industry as a national security threat". Agreed.

yes, this is because our entire infrastructure is built on rsync, which is now being vibe coded, and that seems like a problem
Just yesterday, I was wondering on lobste.rs if/when #SourceHut was planning to add code search. Today an RFC for code search was sent to sr.ht-dev!

I'm really excited that my assert_matches!() macro is finally stable. I can't believe it's been five years since I added it to (unstable) Rust. Time flies. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/82770

A security vulnerability labelled CVE-2026-27771 affecting Forgejo and Gitea is being widely reported recently.

Packages in Forgejo are visible to unauthenticated users if they are published under a public owner, as designed. It is not a security vulnerability, but a misunderstanding about the permissions and a good opportunity for users to review that they are not in a misconfigured state.

Please see the statement issued by the security team here for more details: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/website/issues/839#issuecomment-15980039

I just posted this announcement to wikitech-l mailing list.

I wrote a blog post about slot access in Common Lisp:

Linux is diverse and we have to respect that diversity.

I respect that you like systemd even though I think it's a monster (for technical, not ideological reasons), I respect anyone who loves flatpak even though I think it's a bad idea, I respect them for what they are. We have different preferences, that's all.

However, from the other side, those who refuse to think like them, those who are in the minority, are ridiculed and denigrated... that's a lack of respect.

It's one thing for you to like your software and be blind about it, but it's another to cross the line and make assumptions or say things about us.

Take your prejudices elsewhere.

It was obvious Google would continue to push people to chatbots instead of search. Chatbots have a number of features that are really valuable to Google:

• They keep you using Google, rather than going somewhere else for information.
• They are much more persuasive at steering your opinions and behavior.
• They are much more addictive.
• They're great for siphoning up personal information about you, once you get addicted and start asking them for everything from recipes to medical advice.

If you disapprove of what Google is doing, here are some independent search engines and directories you can try:

https://curlie.org — Yahoo-like human-edited directory.
https://www.ecosia.org — German search engine that aims to be climate-neutral.
https://www.mojeek.com — actually independent, doesn't use Bing as a back end, based in the UK.
https://www.qwant.com — French metasearch engine.
https://stract.com — independent open source search.

I assume everyone already knows about DuckDuckGo.

Please do not recommend Kagi. Here's the biggest reason why I will not use them:
