Really? You're missing out, the original Looney Tunes was full of shenanigans like that.

Strawberrum sounds like it'll be at least 20% abv. I'd like a nice cold glass of that.

It's only minor if the data points in this breach are used by themselves.
Once you aggregate this with other data breaches, you could end up with a much bigger capability to target anyone in this breach.

Knock it off, Microsoft. You're not my buddy, you're an OS. Your job is to sit down, shut up, and run the programs I choose. That's it.
If I find a function that's useful for more than a week, I might make a batch file for it. Until then, you're spare code.

Only for version updates. Beyond that, dnf-automatic handles those invisibly in the background. I only notice them when Firefox gets an update and demands a relaunch before it lets me keep browsing.

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs (mashable.com)

On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically....

Or the XCOM games.

Assuming you already have the IP phones, you need two things. A PBX server (for the VoIP stuff), and a SIP trunk with a block of external phone numbers.

Start with the PBX server software, there's several free/open-source implementations. Once you're comfortable with it and have internal calling good to go, then you can spend on the SIP trunk and number blocks.

Step 3: unfuck the SIP settings, then email both HR and their supervisor to throw them under the bus. Also covers your ass for step 4.

Step 4: Route the manager's calls to a disconnected number. When they come knocking about their phone not working, tell them, "No, you should be able to dial out, unless someone changed the SIP trunk settings and didn't tell me."

shininghero ,

SIP providers usually sell numbers in contiguous series for businesses. For example, if your company buys a block of 50 numbers, the SIP provider then allocates XXX-5100 to XXX-5150.

But since you're keeping this strictly internal, you don't have to worry about that.

Is this one of those vanilla memes that I'm too ReVanced to understand?

Meanwhile, Microsoft's Exchange platform blatantly ignores DMARC failures for senders and relays on its "Good PTR list". Bit of a glaringly large hole for spam to pass through.

shininghero ,

Having managed an exchange instance for my old job, I can safely say that DKIM and DMARC are just some extra DNS entries for out-of-band verification. They can be boiled down to a pair of checkboxes on a compliance sheet.
I can also say that most of the companies we got emails from didn't have DKIM, and even fewer had DMARC. Or worse, they had DMARC set to p=ignore. Which is honestly even more infuriating.

Step right up and place your bets now, folks! What will be the tipping point for massive defederation? Will it be:

  • Snobby, vocal elitism from instance admins,
  • Retaliatory sanctions for anticompetitive actions, or
  • insufficient moderation of harmful or adult content?

I'm putting $20 on the third one, rampant porn bots will be the tipping point.

748 million? I'll be surprised if they get more than 748 thousand.

    It took me a minute to realize he wasn't talking about a scene in the movie, like the hacking scene from Gumball.

    shininghero ,

    They got the training data from Reddit, what did they expect?

    shininghero ,

    If I hadn't already deleted all my posts and comments, I'd be poisoning all of them. Randomizing numbers, switching units, changing names, etc.

    shininghero ,

    No, there are still use cases for it. I usually use it to retrieve web pages from sites that get incorrectly blocked by the firewall at work.

    If you have admin portal access to write transport rules, I recommend writing a rule that has the server reply with a 550 5.7.1 Delivery Refused error. Trigger it based on the keyphrases "top of Google search" and "affordable SEO" to start with.
