NASA astronauts having problems with Microsoft Outlook while in space

It's like some shit straight out of a horror movie

Oracle is such a terrible, evil, slime company it borders some sort of twisted black comedy skit.

During the beginning of the Trump administration Larry Ellison discussed building some sort of super-AI system and said it would create as much as 100,000 jobs in the United States

Fast forward, March 2026, Oracle lays off 30,000 people. 30,000 people is an absolutely insane number. Oracle sent out at email at 6am to 30,000 people which were selected using some sort "selective process", which was a computer program, or something, I don't know.

You go online and see people who have worked at Oracle for over 30 years being terminated. People who have had great reviews, sacrificed for the company, ... someone there was terminated and began working at Oracle in 1993.

1993 - 2026 and then terminated by a decision from a computer program while the United States economy is already sliding into the pisser, with inflation, housing crisis, government assistance cuts, gas prices raising, and companies creating hiring freezes

Then today it's announced Oracle has put in H1B requests for approx. 3,000 employees from overseas

What a fucking piece of shit fucking company.

The Iranian government bombed Oracles infrastructure in the UAE today.

This is absolutely terrible news. My heart aches for Oracle.

Iran, please do not destroy this places infrastructure:

The United States government: The Iranian government is bombing data centers that we use for AI!!!!

The American people:

Experiencing some pretty hardcore burn out in malware.

However, a word of advice for the noobs, or less-er experienced people in cybersecurity, "burn out" is part of the natural progression of this ecosystem and it happens to everyone.

Your brain is a muscle (not literally, but brains have this dumb stuff called neuroplasticity, some nerd stuff, whatever), and just like a muscle, you need down time to heal, and science, or something.

Myself personally, I tend to go through waves of absurd productivity with little to no pacing. I get extremely excited, rip through code, ... and then lose control and crash and burn.

Then it takes me anywhere between a few days, ... or few weeks, ... or worse case a few months to recompose myself and get back in the game.

This is a good opportunity to switch it up a little bit. Instead of going schizo on malware, I've been exploring the internet, reading about current geopolitical stuff, and reading some psychology stuff.

I personally think it's important to keep "exercising" the muscle (plus I like learning), but some of my peers decompress altogether and switch to consuming high quality brain rot.

Anyway, the point being, if you've been going hard and suddenly you feel disappointed, or sad, or don't feel that "spark", or feel yourself struggling to even do a few lines of code, it is almost certainly burn out. I know some nerds are kind of hard on themselves, so don't beat yourself up if you feel this way. It happens to all of us (unless you're abusing narcotics to stay locked in).

Take this as a sign and use the opportunity to do something else. One day you'll be doing something and out of seemingly nowhere you'll feel that "spark" again and be like HOLY FUCK, I WANT TO CODE (or whatever you do).

"whats it like working in cybersecurity?"

Something nerds don't want to admit: they low-key enjoy the chaos

Yeah, yeah, ransomware is bad, state sponsored threat actors are bad, but deep down when shit hits the fan it is exciting.

Even though it's just a beep boop computer your adrenaline gets pumping

Why is the President of the United States schizo posting on main

"Praise be to Allah" sent me, not going to lie. I audibly laughed. I don't know what bro is doing anymore

Lost over 400 followers on social media after I made a comment about the President of the United States and his posts on Truth Social

The leader of a country (literally any country) writing "open the fuckin' strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll all be living in Hell" and "Praise be to Allah" when living in a predominantly Christian nation, on Easter Sunday, is genuinely hysterical.

Like, imagine if Claudia Sheinbaum said that, or if Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that

It made me audibly laugh out loud. I'm still laughing about it.

Around 2 hours ago (01:22EST) it appears ILSpy WordPress domain was compromised to deliver malware.

Someone caught it on video. ILSpy WordPress domain (as of this writing) is currently returning 502.

Attempting to download ILSpy, instead of directing to GitHub, redirected to a domain saying you needed to install a browser extension to continue.

I'll share the video I was sent and IoCs later. I'm not home at the moment.

Thank you to "RootSuccess" for sharing this with me via e-mail and all the evidence you provided.

Frustrated nerd drops zero day exploit after Microsoft vulnerability bug bounty people annoy him, or something, I don't know.

Stinky nerds confirm its legit

There is some sort of dark irony that I've seen multiple completely legitimate cybersecurity researchers be banned from GitHub.

These are researchers who are verified, clean, years upon years (sometimes decades) of experience. They're well known people.

Their code and reasoning for their ban is usually unexplained or deemed "malicious".

Then some angry nerd drops a Microsoft zero day exploit on GitHub, a platform owned by Microsoft, yet it remains up.

I'm tired of people stereotyping us computer nerds. It is PREJUDICE.

Here are some stereotypes non-nerds push on us. They're all FALSE.

According to non-nerds, us nerds do the following:
- Excessive caffeine or nicotine intake
- Unusual or unhealthy sleep schedule, specifically around 3am and 5am
- Apparently have tons of tabs open, or something, in terminal or web browser
- Desk messy, covered in cables
- Hardware nerds apparently do "experiments" just to see if something works
- Notes on paper or whiteboard look like serial killer manifesto
- Web cam taped, mic disabled, because of "paranoia"
- Strong distrust in tech companies, especially social media
- Nerd so intense forget to eat or shower
- Spend 8 hours debugging instead of reading something which would take 20 minutes because ???
- Apparently we "don't know an answer" but know how to find it?
- Some nerds become irrationally angry about GUIs?
- Weird obsession with mechanical keyboards

I'm so tired of these stereotypes. Literally none of these are true.

also, on the forreal though, it was an honest mistake, you could have just told me or something, i would have happily corrected it like i am now, you dont gotta be a dick about it, assholes

sheesh

Last time on Dragon Ball Z:

The United States government threatened to destroy Iranian critical infrastructure, notably bridges and electrical grids.

Today the Iranian government responded by publishing (an incredibly dramatic) video threatening United States tech bros
