In case you’re wondering: while not as extreme as illustrated by ISC (we don’t offer a bug bounty program), NLnet Labs suffers from a similar situation, in particular for Unbound.

Handling vulnerability reports, both valid ones and false positives, has now become a full time job for the entire Unbound team.

You can argue that it ultimately makes our resolver more secure, it also means we cannot work on building and releasing new features, like:

My daughter now has an opinion about the mailman (he can't read). Lucky for her the official certificate was not in the folded part.
She's officially a ski instructor now (initiator) 🥳

Back in 2013 I backed and bought this 8-port USB charger on Indiegogo that could handle an amazing 96W, but technologically it has had its best time and is getting replaced by an Anker 200W beast that's 1/4 the size

96W, 8 port USB charger, 2.4A on each port by Samuel Au - Indiegogo

Charges 8 ipads or mobile devices up to 2.4A (ipad4) at the same time. (96W) Kswitch for every port to charge your devices at their maximum speed.

Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.

Without donor contact, these machines are useless. :(

I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.

Von der Leyen says EU age checking app is ready: "This app will allow users to prove their age when accessing online platforms, just as shops ask for proof of age from someone buying alcoholic drinks in a shop."
Bart Preneel on Radio 1: Comparing online age checks to showing ID in a shop misses a key point: offline, obvious adults aren’t checked. Online, everyone must prove they’re 16+. VPNs and shared phones make this easy to bypass.

#PhotoDNA is promoted as a reliable tool for detecting illegal images, but KU Leuven research shows major flaws: large‑scale false positives and easy evasion. Automated mass scanning risks harming privacy without stopping abuse.
