So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

If UPI operations need funds and can't survive freely, maybe don't run these ad campaigns, it's very much pointless, most people already know what UPI is 🥴 at least some savings will be there ofc not everything can be solved

Looks like someone on @KiaInd backend posted the full message from their boss on the configurator instead of just the message 😂

As a software engineer I have to unfortunately inform you that if medicine was held to the standard of software engineering there would be mass death.
Replying to @mattparlmer
If medicine was held to the standard of rigor that software engineering is - let alone the discipline you see in aircraft or bridges - way fewer people would die unnecessarily

We didn't win against Iran but at least it didn't cost us 300 billion USD. 🤷‍♂️

I used the cursor for the first few months without paying. There was a GitHub script that used to include a free-trial invalidator. Since then, they have come a long way Github repo: github.com/chengazhen/cursor…
We're excited to join forces with @SpaceX to advance the frontier of useful AI. Expect significant improvements to Cursor soon.

The largest IPO in history, and on the very next day, they bought a VS Code fork
SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon. We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities

Anthropic is too late, disabling Fable 5. By now, I'm sure some Chinese labs have already reverse-engineered it and begun optimising it. #fable5
