    Ah, the good old days of Unix when the programmers were programmers and the users were too.

    Today is the commemoration of St. Monica, mother of Augustine. Movingly remembered by her son for her Christian patience, acts of pious devotion, and great concern for his soul. Image: Saint Augustine and his mother, Saint Monica by Ary Scheffer (painting from 1846) (Wikipedia)

    Thoughtful, well articulated reply here from Damien Miller () explaining why the team committed and released fixes to the "user enumeration" defect without fanfare, secrecy or embargo. (CVE-2018-15473)

    Who woke up that one day and thought: You know, in addition to content, images, style-sheets, and JavaScript we need web fonts. And while we're at it, let's use emojis specific to a given web font in lieu of graphics. Oh, and forget about graceful degradation.

    Use the ':R' modifier in make(1) when file suffixes vary, but output suffixes should be the same: SRC != find src -type f OUT := $(SRC:R:S/$/.html/g) # :R removes suffixes. Didn't know you could chain modifiers? See make(1) on variable expansion.

    You probably really want something like: SRC != find src -type f \( -name \*.md -o -name \*.txt \) OUT := $(SRC:R:S/$/.html/g) # :R removes suffixes.

    This teacher should read C.S. Lewis's An Experiment in Criticism: "An Experiment in Criticism springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite."

    The recipe my wife used was in the October 2017 issue of the magazine, p. 78.

    My wife made the most awesome cookies tonight. The two main ingredients were chocolate chips and potato chips. Yeah, you read that right. I'll see you on the other side of a serious milk and cookie binge.

    And then accepting the OTP without further transformation. Where's the security in that? SMS is dangerous security theater. It provides the illusion of security without the reality. 2/2

    SMS is so bad I call it irresponsible in the blog post, and will say it's security malpractice. You're sending an OTP over a cracked protocol, via carriers who are demonstrably incapable of guaranteeing the owner of the account is in possession of the reception endpoint. 1/

    Repeat after me: SMS is not secure[1] and is worse than nothing.[2] [1] With un-transformed values. [2] I said it and stand by it. SMS is worse than nothing. (You use a different password with each site, right?) See tweet above, blog below.

    Yes, finally! Someone is trying to hold a mobile operator accountable for an unauthorized SIM swap. Now, if only we could convince more companies that SMS (with un-transformed codes) is not secure.

    Entrepreneur sues AT&T for $224M after fraudulent SIM swap. Attacks like these are prompting some experts to say the surest way to safeguard one’s online accounts may be to disconnect them from the mobile providers entirely.

    Caesars claimed hotel security staff during Def Con only did visual walkthroughs of rooms. But videos show that's not the case.
