Yup, nothing bad will come from this...

Only a few regions on our planet - just west and east and especially inside of the dark zone in this NASA map which is mostly the Pacific Ocean - will have a good view of the full totality from 11:04 to 12:03 UTC of the #LunarEclipse today, but there will be webcasts galore to try out:

I'm just reading this GNU telnetd CVE from last month. I did not realize that telnet was still a thing, but it turns out anybody could provide a username of "-f root" and, boom, they had root. The vulnerability existed for 11 years. *Wow*. https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-24061

@waldoj I'm not aware of any backbone provider coordination. That rarely happens for blocking anything - and probably the only time I can even recall there was such a widely coordinated port block was with Slammer over 20 years ago.

Reports of Telnet’s Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated — Terrace Networks

We see no evidence that specific core network autonomous systems have blocked Telnet, contrary to previous reports. We specifically see continued non-spoofable Telnet traffic from networks on which GreyNoise saw 100% drop-off. We suspect initial results may have been measurement artifacts or specifi

Don't miss this explanation of how backbone providers coordinated on this telnetd exploit in advance of the CVE release, and simply blocked port 23 traffic. https://www.labs.greynoise.io/grimoire/2026-02-10-telnet-falls-silent/

2026-01-14: The Day the telnet Died – GreyNoise Labs

On January 14, 2026, global telnet traffic observed by GreyNoise sensors fell off a cliff. A 59% sustained reduction, eighteen ASNs going completely silent, five countries vanishing from our data entirely. Six days later, CVE-2026-24061 dropped. Coincidence is one explanation.

so moltbook and clawedbot are having a meltdown because it only took ten days for someone to realize it was a pietri dish for malware and packed the skills store full of backdoored malicious bullshit and they had no plan to deal with that inevitability? because this was a guarantee. it was GOING to happen. if we go save them, we are letting them fuck around, but not find out. they NEED to find out.

do not help

you are OBLIGATED to watch it burn

Ummm... While updating my apps on the phone, just saw something weird...

Why is the Gmail app 740MB!?

Is that app size on my phone based on the attachmens I have downloaded, or is it the actual update size?
