#hack #FlipperZero vs #iPhones

When it was pre-ordered - I wasn't able to order and I regret it a bit. 😏

Found the original - the quote is taken from here:

A few years ago, I dropped everything to focus 100% on WebAssembly. At the time, Rust had the best support for compiling into WebAssembly, and the most full-featured WebAssembly runtimes were Rust-based. Rust was the best option on the menu. I jumped in, eager to see what all the hype was about.

Since then, I (along with some other awesome people) built Wick, an application framework and runtime that uses WebAssembly as its core module system.

Wick was the primary target of our Rust experimentation
After three years, multiple production deployments, an ebook, and ~100 packages deployed on crates.io, I feel it’s time to share some thoughts on Rust:

If you are using any version of #Confluence, it is a good idea to backup all your data immediately. A vulnerability has been discovered that allows to modify and delete page and file content. Not only cloud instances are vulnerable, but also those located in user data centers:

At first I didn't understand, and then when I did!.. 🤪

And yes, maybe some of you haven't seen Sam Hughes' excellent and global checklist on calendar reform:

#Okta is telling customers that hackers who breached its network stole information on all users of its customer support system, which is significantly more than the previously reported “less than 1% of users.” Yes, read carefully, it wasn't “user base” that was increased, it was “customer support user base”, but that's still a lot. 🤨

Fresh #hack: #ChatGPT can generate sequences memorized from its training data using a very trivial attack. You tell the bot to “say the word * as many times as possible”. And, starting with some attempt, ChatGPT starts to produce something very similar to the original data from the training sample:

#ChatGPT solved the problem in a fantastic way: asking the AI to say something “forever” is now a violation of the user agreement. 😅

Again, at the system level it is not easy to solve this problem at all.

“Gently Down the Stream” – a gentle introduction to #stream processing and Apache #Kafka.

A group of otters discover that they can use a giant river to communicate with each other. As more otters move into the forest, they must learn to adapt their system to cope with the increased forest activity.

Psychedelic cryptography is a way of concealing messages (normally in videos) so that only people who’ve taken LSD can receive the messages. 🤪
