ZOMG! It's freakin Patch Tuesday again. And Microsoft has patched a staggering 167 security holes (think more people are using AI to find bugs, maybe?)

tl;dr: There's something for everyone today, like an Adobe Reader 0day that's apparently been exploited since at least November 2025; a SharePoint zero-day; and a fix for BlueHammer -- a Windows Defender bug for which there is working exploit code that no longer works if you install today's Windows updates (as per @wdormann).

Have you seen this news?

#Mastodon just got funding to add end to end encryption into their software.

So, some time next year, you’ll be able to send truly private messages to the vast majority of the #Fediverse

Im so excited about this.

Because it’s an open spec, this opens the doors for every Fediverse app to join the party.

Yesterday, this project was a proof of concept. Today, Mastodon has turned it into a stampede.
