“If you installed or updated Claude Code via npm on March 31, 2026, between 00:21 and 03:29 UTC, you may have inadvertently pulled in a malicious version of axios (1.14.1 or 0.30.4) that contains a Remote Access Trojan (RAT). You should immediately search your project lockfiles (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, or bun.lockb) for these specific versions or the dependency plain-crypto-js. If found, treat the host machine as fully compromised, rotate all secrets, and perform a clean OS reinstallation."
ChatGPT included "Digital Playground" in the proposition of various names that could be used to name my educational toy project. Hmm, it's not that kind of business

"Internet Bug Bounty is taking a break and is not accepting new submissions."

Killed by AI Slop.

No bug bounty for #libssh anymore.

Do what you will from this information, but my birthday happens to fall on World's cheese day.
I don't want to be a "akshualy I'm a prompt engineer" type of person, but my impression while coding with Claude is that knowing what you're doing and managing this as you would do a real dev project immensely helps at writing relevant prompts and giving right directions.

I just read something on printer tech and how that's the most unreliable computer tech ever made, mostly because it's made of moving parts and in a predatory consumer business. Last week, my gf thanked me again for gifting her this used inkjet printer that I recovered from my late parents' house. It seems that this particular Epson inkjet model wasn't crap after all.

This confused me for a while because my dad was notoriously making very poor choices in inkjet printers. He had a good experience with an HP Deskjet 510 in 1990 and since then believed HP was a reputable brand. He even brought a brand new (unopened box) HP printer to our family vacation place, in case the previous HP printer ceased working.
I trashed both printers in the same afternoon when I couldn't make them print anything from my mac. btw throwing a printer on the floor is a very great stress relief exercise, just check that it's not left plugged to your computer when you do it.

So I dug a little bit and now remember how this Epson printer ended on his desk. In around 2018, he asked me to research and buy a printer that wouldn't fail after one year. I guess I did a good job.

The systemd project is under attack by a trolling campaign orchestrated by fascist elements, accusing it of implementing "age verification".

I wrote more about the facts on my blog: https://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_473 .

systemd has not implemented age verification

Thought: now that AI tools understand code that well, wouldn't it be a good idea to write documentation with AI?
Inner thought: now that AI tools understand code that well, does good documentation even matter at all?
