RIP

Just a reminder that Codeberg exists, is completely free and open source, and has a GitHub import feature.

It was inevitable.

Just from a few hours feeding it old prompts, GPT-5 seems to be about as accurate as o3 and almost as stubborn as o4. Im going to guess making it more stubborn was how they juiced the accuracy numbers.

Everyone thinks of vegans as annoying people. This looks like an attempt to equate people, who refuse to use LLMs with annoying vegans.

There was a time where ransomware groups would decrypt your files if you paid up. Which was often cheaper than restoring an old backup or not having any

At some point, groups started not "honoring" the decryption promise. Which made everything a lot more uncertain

Wait. I'm not in this IT Security business and not very informed but... Do people, and even public sector organizations, actually pay ransoms on ransomware?

I just assumed "ok goodbye data let's call it a day" but never looked into it.

Think you've got the wrong community mate. This isn't the outlandish fantasy Dreamworld community.

Good! Maybe they'll start taking security seriously...

James Babbage, Director General (Threats) at the NCA, says it is the characteristic of a younger generation of hackers, who now are "getting into cybercrime probably through gaming".

Probably the only solution is to ban video games

I wonder what the company's password policy was.

KNP director Paul Abbott says he hasn't told the employee that their compromised password most likely led to the destruction of the company.

"Would you want to know if it was you?" he asks

Why do I feel like it was KNP director Paul Abbott's password that was compromised

Welp, the insurance apparently didn't do much to save them, either.

The company said its IT complied with industry standards and it had taken out insurance against cyber-attack.

Backups and the 3-2-1 strategy have been industry standard for decades. What a load of crap.

Never in the article is the novel idea of "backups" ever mentioned. If you treat your IT as an afterthought, your company will run into trouble eventually.

Woohoo... Yeah... Go slop...

Agentic Ai is a huge privacy risk!

Don’t give a racist pile of linear algebra root access to any of your devices!

The article implies they were already on AWS so this migration was from Xeon instances to Arm Graviton instances. I wonder how much of the AWS fleet is Arm now?

Edit to add apparently RDS and Aurora are two different database hosting solutions in the AWS service zoo.

This works nicely. A friend and I tested it once during a massive protest where there's usually 0 cell and internet signal.

What? Like bridgefy?

Techbros always reinventing the wheel, smh. Just bitchat them in person, my guy.

He made some sensible comments and uttered this absolute horror:

Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.

Whatever Jack Dorsey proposes, always remember that he created Twitter - which is a shame in and of itself - and then took $653m from the South African Nazi when Twitter was sold.

Fuck Jack Dorsey.
