> On November 28th, 2012, Randall Munroe published an xkcd comic that was a calendar in which the size of each date was proportional to how often each date is referenced by its ordinal name (…) "In months other than September, the 11th is mentioned substantially less often than any other date. It's been that way since long before 9/11 and I have no idea why." After digging into the raw data, I believe I have figured out why.

curl disclosed on HackerOne: Stack-based Buffer Overflow in TELNET...

**Title:** Stack-based Buffer Overflow in TELNET NEW_ENV Option Handling **Vulnerability Description:** **Summary:** A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the `libcurl` TELNET handler. When `libcurl` connects to a malicious TELNET server, the server can trigger an overflow by sending a `NEW_ENVIRON SEND` request. This causes the client to construct a response that overwrites...

HackerOne
They are starting to get it ...
I think one main issue I have with the whole "EURO Stack" stuff is that it is not looking for an alternative. It's "we want what we got just with EU companies". But the fact that the Internet and its services have been turned into a mall is the big fucking problem. I don't want a "European Facebook" built on the same logic of exploitation.

You can now turn your old smarphone into a pocket cyberdeck. Because why not

This is a Google Pixel 3 XL, but I don't see why this can't be modified to fit another mobile. The case is 3D printed and it's running Kali Nethunter

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated.

The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.

#FediHire

Hi all. It's been a while since I've asked, but I'm here again asking for you to support your local fediverse instance. I know many instance operators struggle to make ends meet each month, and there does seem to be a downward trend on donations across the board. If you love this place and are in a position to and your instance supports it, please consider supporting them.

Thank you!

Hard to find the original, but I love this

Retro computing friends,

Has anyone done a reverse engineering of the Stacker compressed disk volume format (stacvol.dsk)? It was a predecessor to DoubleSpace/DriveSpace via third-party software for DOS.

I have a volume compressed with it that might have data of historical significance, but I believe there was some fs damage, so sufficient knowledge to process it manually would probably be better than trying to setup a VM capable of reading it only to be greeted with errors and no tooling to debug them.

Boosts for reach welcome!
