because I hate you all, I curse you with the new and terrible knowledge of https://100jumps.org

100 Jumps

Hold to charge, release to jump. Land on 100 platforms to win — but one miss and it's over. How many attempts will it take you?

@tintvrtkovic I'm reading "pain point in asyncio" and I feel you, everybody complaining is creating tasks using low-level functions and never awaiting them. TaskGroups make asyncio so easy yet nobody seems to be using them :(

CrackArmor: Critical AppArmor Flaws Enable Local Privilege Escalation to Root | Qualys

https://blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilities-threat-research/2026/03/12/crackarmor-critical-apparmor-flaws-enable-local-privilege-escalation-to-root

All Linux kernels since v4.11 are vulnerable on any distribution that integrates AppArmor — including Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, and their derivatives — exposing a flaw that any unprivileged local user can exploit.

Outch. 😬

CrackArmor: Critical AppArmor Flaws Enable Local Privilege Escalation to Root | Qualys

Qualys TRU has discovered confused deputy vulnerabilities in AppArmor (named “CrackArmor”) that allow unprivileged users to bypass kernel protections, escalate to root, and break container isolation. The flaw has existed since 2010, and compromises 20 million+ systems globally. Immediate kernel patching is recommended to neutralize these vulnerabilities.

Whoa. UTF-8 is older now than ASCII was when UTF-8 was invented.

Movim Mar 5

So the Spaces are now merged in Movim main branch! 🎉 The official instance https://mov.im/ has been updated 😸!

Do you want to know how it was done? And how it is actually implemented in Movim? I wrote a very detailed blog post about it there: https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/fb46d699-adc1-4fda-a76e-71ca1d246b80 👀

The upcoming days will now be spent on stabilizing and fixing all the bugs we can find 🐛

And as always, if you want to support me in this amazing journey https://movim.eu/#fund ✨ And don't forget to spread around the good news 📢!

Trying xmpp as an alternatives to discord...

Conversation (Android): doesn't support group-call
Dino (Linux): can do group-call... but those are invisible to movim
Movim (Web): can do group-call... but those are invisible to dino

This blogpost makes an astoundingly good case about LLMs I hadn't considered before. The collapse of public forums (like Stack Overflow) for programming answers coincides directly with the rise of programmers asking for answers from chatbots *directly*. Those debugging sessions become part of a training set that now *only private LLM corporations have access to*. This is something that "open models" seemingly can't easily fight. https://michiel.buddingh.eu/enclosure-feedback-loop
