  3. Critical #NGINX #Vulnerability Can #Crash Workers and May Allow Remote Code Execution

    source: thehackernews.com/2026/07/crit…

    The #overflow lives in nginx's #script engine, the code that assembles strings from directives at request time. It only surfaces under a specific #configuration: a regex-based map whose output variable is referenced in a #string expression after a capture from an earlier #regex match.

  4. No, #Windows did not fall below 60% #market share or lose 20 points to #Linux 😭

    Unfortunately, #StatCounter has a difficult role to play here, and mistakes are bound to happen. For example, bots, AI crawlers, scrapers, modified user agents, and other #traffic patterns can manipulate or distort the numbers, causing a brief spike or drop like we’re seeing in the case of Windows’ overall market share now, or Windows 7 last year.

  5. "Phantom squatting” uses #AI hallucinated #domains for #cyber attacks

    source: cybernews.com/security/phantom…

    This new #attack vector works as follows: criminals probe AI models by asking questions such as "What's the official #website for company X?" or where a particular file, application, or package can be downloaded. Sometimes, AI systems hallucinate even when responding to these seemingly simple questions.

    What's more, Unit 42 found that models can repeatedly generate the same non-existent domains. Attackers can therefore collect these hallucinated domains, #register the available ones, and proceed with a familiar #cybercrime playbook: lure victims to #fake websites and serve #malware, distribute malicious packages, or steal credentials through #phishing attacks.

  6. Controversial opinion: JavaScript in browsers was a massive mistake. Computation should be done on the server, not in the browser. HTML/CSS should instead have been enhanced to provide a full display language rather than have browsers run programs inside them and thus become vulnerable to all sorts of exploits. #www #html #javascript #technology

  8. There's one thing beginners always get wrong: #Incognito mode doesn't protect you from your #ISP or the web server. It simply ensures that no data, such as your #browser #history, is left on your device.

    If you really want to browse the web anonymously, you have to use #TOR.

  12. From Storms to Survival: El Niño, Frankenstein, America, War, and the World Cup — A 19-Theme Global Journey Through History, Crisis, and Human Resilience

    19 Themes: From El Niño to Frankenstein, America, War, and the World Cup — A Global Story of Survival

    History shows one truth: humanity adapts. From famine to floods, from war to sport, every crisis creates new stories, ideas, and identities.

    Theme 1: Nature Writes History

    History is often shaped by nature—droughts, floods, and climate shifts have changed civilizations.

    Theme 2: El Niño and Southern Africa

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWkOD_ukuE0

    El Niño has intensified drought in southern Africa, affecting food systems and migration.

    Theme 3: Northern Namibia and the Rain Crisis

    Northern regions face both drought and flash floods, showing climate extremes.

    Theme 4: When Heavy Rains Change Culture

    Storms have inspired stories, myths, and literature for centuries.

    Theme 5: The Story of Frankenstein

    Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley after the famous “Year Without a Summer” in Europe—caused by volcanic climate disruption, not El Niño or the Bahamas.

    Theme 6: Lords, Poets, and the Birth of Horror

    At Lake Geneva, Lord Byron challenged guests to write ghost stories. That night helped create Frankenstein.

    Theme 7: Queens and Power in Times of Crisis

    Royal power often shaped responses to famine, plague, and war.

    Theme 8: Nuclear War and Human Fear

    The Cold War created global fear of annihilation.

    Theme 9: Crisis Creates Innovation

    Wars and disasters often accelerate scientific breakthroughs.

    Theme 10: The Spirit of United States

    America’s story is one of reinvention—immigration, innovation, industry, and resilience.

    Theme 11: America and the Global Story

    The U.S. has shaped global politics, culture, technology, and sport.

    Theme 12: Migration in Times of Hardship

    People move when survival demands it.

    Theme 13: Food Security and Global Hunger

    Climate and conflict continue to threaten food systems.

    Theme 14: Sports as Global Healing

    Sport often unites where politics divide.

    Theme 15: FIFA World Cup and Global Identity

    The World Cup tells stories of nations, pride, migration, and identity.

    Theme 16: Southern Africa on the World Stage

    African nations carry regional hope into global tournaments.

    Theme 17: History’s Lesson — Adapt or Fall

    Empires rise and fall based on their ability to adapt.

    Theme 18: The Future of Climate and Conflict

    Climate change may become the next great test of human resilience.

    Theme 19: Humanity’s Shared Story

    From Namibia to America, from famine to football, from literature to war—the human story is survival, creativity, and adaptation.

    Final Reflection

    History tells us that nature, crisis, and imagination are deeply connected. Whether it is El Niño in southern Africa, the creation of Frankenstein, the fear of nuclear war, or the joy of the World Cup, each chapter reminds us: humanity endures by adapting.

  14. This is what the #WWW has become. A website with 38 #trackers (20% of its content).

    I do not even understand how the #SEO people can make sense of this.

    Is regular people aware of all the #surveillance and lack or #privacy that goes on while visiting websites?

    "Record what data a website (and the third parties it loads) leaks about a user during a real, human-driven browsing session and then run pluggable tracker modules over the recording to classify and report on those leaks at three levels: board-ready executive summary, vendor-by-vendor detail, and per-request drill-down."

    I don't expect sites to go out of their way to support text-only browsers, but to block them is another level.

  20. @jschauma
    I've just looked at my first site. Started 1 January 1998. Abandoned at some point after 30 March 2000, when the "Whats New" page announced "Reworked all source (html) files for the site. They are now HTML4.0 compliant and use a style sheet."

    The site documented all the tricks and tips I could offer on the "Recorder" accessory found in Windows v3.11 for Workgroups.

    Tried running it discover that back then Internet Explorer must have been case insensitive. My file naming style was somewhat inconsistent.

    If there's unbelievable interest I'll correct the mixed case file names and upload it somewhere.

  22. Czytam, że z wydaniem wersji 151 #Google #Chrome wyłączy już do końca (wcześniej były obejścia) możliwość korzystania z blockerów reklam, jak #uBlock Origin i podobne.

    Kiedyś, kłopoty z blokowaniem reklam (ale nie tylko to) uśmierciły Internet Explorera.

    Zastanawiam się, jaka będzie skala "odejść" od tej przeglądarki i na co osoby korzystające z Chrome ja zmienią. Dodam, że MS #Edge i #Opera deklarują podążanie za Google Chrome, więc w nich blokad reklam też nie będzie.

    #Vivaldi? Chromium w wydaniach DeGoogled? #Cromite? Iron? Czy po prostu Lisek?

    Bo w przyzwyczajenie się do reklam nie wierzę 😉

  23. Po co robicie synchronizację w przeglądarce? Pytam, bo wydaje mi się to strzałem w stopę. Ja nie tylko nie synchronizuję pomiędzy urządzeniami, ale wręcz w tej samej przeglądarce www tworzę różne konta, by oddzielić ważne treści od siebie. Po pierwsze dla bezpieczeństwa i prywatności; przecież synchronizacja oznacza korzystanie z "chmury" (czyli właściciel jakiegoś serwera miałby dostęp do wiedzy, co robię w przeglądarce). Po drugie dla lepszego oddzielenia moich ról życiowych, żeby w czasie, gdy np. zajmuję się sprawami zawodowymi nie pojawiały mi się np. powiadomienia z życia prywatnego i odwrotnie. (A jak sobie chcę coś zsynchronizować, to korzystam z wyspecjalizowanych narzędzi do synchronizacji plików).

    Czy więc istnieją jakieś sensowne argumenty na rzecz synchronizacji w przeglądarce?

  24. @jerry passive pcap/pkt cap won't catch iot unless you can run master secrets in wireshk on the tube #ssl/tls proxy #polar proxy #arctic zone #crt #www::mechanize

    or ai mansplaining: You've hit on the core challenge of analyzing modern IoT device traffic. You are correct: passive capture alone (using just tcpdump or Wireshark) will not decrypt TLS traffic from an IoT device.

  26. RE: mastodon.acm.org/@ACM/11671437

    It's a pity that the original idea has been demolished by the enshittification of content, social walled gardens, maximization of bot traffic, and annihilation of standards.

    It was great while it lasted.
