Comment choisir une instance Write Freely où l’inscription est encore disponible? Je ne trouve pas les règles de modération par exemple dans la liste ci-dessous. Je suis une totale néophyte, pas de jargon svp. Merci.

How do I pick an open registration Write Freely instance? For example I can’t find moderation rules of those on the link below. I am completely new to the subject so please no technical jargon. Thanks.

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.

Morning glorious wonders of the universe 💜 🩷 💖

A few years ago I got somewhat annoyed with how many places "unnecessarily" put my (dead)name in many places such as autogenerated emails etc..

Me now: "My phone is being rude and just said 'Good Morning' and not 'Good Morning Samantha'" :-)

May your day be better than you expect, and have at least moments of joy 💜 🩷 💖

PS. I personally think it's still night (07:10 on a Saturday), but I got woken up early, so "good morning post" now :-)

How the hell am I supposed to even argue with this?

Coworker about accessibility (in the context of "why don't devs/their bosses book the accessibility training for frontend developers we offer?"):

"for me as a front-end developer, accessibility is a niche issue. I have a hundred other problems to deal with. The fact that a small group of 2–4% of the market has trouble using my website is, frankly, none of my concern. Especially when it requires a huge amount of extra effort to implement and maintain. Either a UI library handles it for me, or I simply don’t do it."

I'm quite helpless in the face of this major fail of both human decency AND work ethic. And I assume they aren't a singular phenomenon, they just trust me enough to speak frankly.
