Right now my best bet looks like it's WyldCard. Took a bit of source hacking to get it to build/run, but it's pretty much a straight clone of HyperCard but with color and runs on anything with Java (time to put my dusty old Pi3B to use?) https://github.com/defano/wyldcard

Beloved station melodies fade as East Japan Railway pursues cost cuts - The Mainichi

SENDAI (Kyodo) -- The distinctive melodies that have long marked train departures across East Japan Railway Co.'s network are steadily falling silent,

The Mainichi

Something a bit worrying to note about using Ai in healthcare.

I’ve had two specialist appointments recently, both using ai to transcribe. Both sent report letters with inaccuracies about my diagnoses and past medical history. Even my GP was like, “huh, that directly contradicts what I put in the referrals.”

I have followed up both and requested amendments (which were done) but if I hadn’t, these inaccuracies could have significantly damaged ongoing care, further treatment or insurance claims.

Human error has always been a factor, but both doctors were clearly using the ai software and assuming what it spat out was correct. They made no other notes during the appointments to cross-reference and double check. This is how Very Bad Things can happen.

The insanity but done under a normal voice

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.

*How "weird" are bronze toiletries sets from the Saltovo-Maiatska culture, of the Siverskyi Donets River basin (8th–10th centuries), consisting of a comb, tweezers, and a hairpin?

*I'd judge those are pretty darn weird. #everydayweird
