A thing being repeated across businesses worldwide, including at Microsoft, is C level execs struggling to know why most staff aren’t using Copilot for M365, despite how much it costs.

Because most staff don’t spend all day in Teams meetings reading out PowerPoint slides to people who pretend to care. They have actual jobs. Doing work. Which they know how to do. Because it is their job.

Physical security and cryptography can learn from each other, part 11367:

Hotels wisely don't put the room number on guest keycards so if someone finds your card, they'd have to exhaustively search the hotel to find the room it opens.

Some hotels now have elevators programmed to only let you call the floor for which your keycard is coded, preventing guests from wandering to other floors.

But it also means the elevator can be used as an efficient oracle to determine the floor of a found key.

Rust 1.94.1 has been released.

This point release fixes a few regressions that slipped into in Rust 1.94.0: an internal compiler error in Clippy, a small security issue in Cargo, and two issues in the standard library.

See the blog post for details: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/03/26/1.94.1-release/

@cynicalsecurity @jpmens My former company still uses SSH certs. From top of my head:

- auditable root access without su/sudo
- expiration (no left over access)
- user restrictions bound to certs (instead of server config)

+ human user priv keys were HW bound

okay I can finally show off these things- Sun SPOTs, weird little java on metal microcontrollers from 2005/2006!

I got an itch to install Solaris 10. Nice to see IPv6 working out of the box. And CDE in Solaris colours is just gorgeous.
