big announcement for Friday: I have acquired a datacenter that has not been touched since approximately 2002, and is FULL of old 80s/90s/2000s IBM mainframe equipment. mainframes, disk arrays, tape drive strings, network processor boxes, and more!

all will be photographed (and posted here), also videographed!

the equipment is being moved to my place, where pubvm.org will be ran on an actual IBM System/370 mainframe!!!!

this is a six-sigma event, this is unfathomable rarity omg

Merry Christmas to everybody, except that dude who works for Elastic, who decided to drop an unauthenticated exploit for MongoDB on Christmas Day, that leaks memory and automates harvesting secrets (e.g. database passwords)

CVE-2025-14847 aka MongoBleed

Exp: https://github.com/joe-desimone/mongobleed/blob/main/mongobleed.py

This one is incredibly widely internet facing and will very likely see mass exploitation and impactful incidents

Impacts every MongoDB version going back a decade.
