That's not really how Lemmy works, it's more like Reddit, where you'd probably want to look at communities. But I've not seen anyone announce any new vulns here, people just post links to articles about them.

Searching for communities from the db0 instance should get you a bunch related to cybersecurity and infosec (only reccomending as some other instances have defederated from the .ml instance you're posting from/in). If I have some time later I'll edit this post with some.

EDIT: Posting from my phone, so apologies that these are direct links rather than in the "home instance agnostic" format

CyberSec communities: https://lemmy.ml/c/cryptography https://infosec.pub/c/cybersecurity https://sh.itjust.works/c/cybersecurity https://lemmy.zip/c/databreaches https://infosec.pub/c/pulse_of_truth https://infosec.pub/c/securitynews

Sysadmin communities: https://lemmy.world/c/sysadmin https://lemmy.ml/c/sysadmin

Privacy (usually tech related) communities: https://lemmy.ca/c/privacy https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy https://lemmy.world/c/privacy https://programming.dev/c/privacy https://links.hackliberty.org/c/privacy

It's very simple. The US government maintains a list of sanctioned entities and companies. US citizens and businesses are not allowed to do business with these entities. Most of the removed maintainers either used their company email, or very publicly are employees of these sanctioned companies.

There's no investigation of connections or anything complicated going on here.

Also, if you think corporations becoming effective government is some Russia specific thing, I have a bridge to sell you.

He's practically always been like this. If anything he's notably softened with age.

From being able to work on Linux stuff without having their contributions reviewed by someone else (not from russia).

It's an important distinction many seem to miss.

Congrats, now you have irradiated zombies. And any not truly destroyed by the explosion would effectively just get knocked down by the shockwave and get right back on up.

Apology starting with "per my last email"? Nah, that's the "I've officially stopped caring and I'm highlighting your failure to read for all to see."

I would love to see The Protomen's albums adapted into a muscial (assuming they ever finish Act 3). Reading the liner notes while listening along gets close, and they already did the music for "Terminator the Second" (musical shakespearian adaptation of Terminator 2).

Man, I want one of those living lounge chairs to ride around on. They couldn't possibly be sentient or anything. I see absolutely no potential downsides.

From the Jet Set Radio Future Soundtrack. Whole thing is great, along with most of Naganuma's tracks.

Yo, could you flag this NSFW? Don't think most people would be fine if their boss saw this wonderful pod of dicklets on their screen.

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Yep, and don't just state the what, but the why in your docs.

The why really helps with knowing if a step is still important, or if it no longer applies. This is especially important with anything cloud based, as I've seen weird workarounds become no longer needed due to updates, and I would never have caught it without my notes on why we had the weird workaround to begin with.

except for flooding you with more ads between video recommendations

That's literally it. The advertising and marketing teams within Google have politically maneuvered themselves into running the show, and the software/product engineering teams that want to maximize the quality of the system they work on (search, youtube) are overridden by insipid metrics that advertising needs more user interaction with ads.

They literally have been commanding that things be made more shitty to optimize their malformed metrics. You absolutely can get more people to click the sponsored search results... if you keep making them less distinct from the actual results. And advertising needs those good click through rates nooooow!

There are email chains documenting this sort of shit going on that have become part of the public record due to various court cases.

Wonderful article about it all here

Yoko Taro is the creative director behind the Nier and Drakengard series, and he has released a lot of supplemental material across a variety of mediums over the years in Japan. Accord's Library is a site that is dedicated to finding this material, archiving it, and translating it.

Today, in Accord's Library Discord, they announced that they received a Cease and Desist from Square-Enix, and on Oct 31, the Library and Gallery sections of the site will be closed and taken offline.

Announcement TextDearest Recorders and Observers of Accord's Library.

These past few years have been a pleasure, but we regret to inform you all that we've been contacted by the Square Enix Legal Team. And after some private communications, based on the outlined requirements we have come to the conclusion that Accord's Library must close its doors by the end of the month. While we are sad to have to go, we also must respect the wishes of the Legal Team.

The Library and Gallery will remain opened for the next 2 weeks and will be officially closed on Oct 31.

We hope to continue spending time with you all, and other fans in the future through our Discord Server, which we plan to keep opened.

On behalf of the entire Council for Accord's Library, we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship over the years. We hope that you will continue to use the discord, though we understand if this is where we part ways.

From the very bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful to everyone who's volunteered their time to help build Accord's Library into what it was. Thank you to all of our Transcribers, Translators, and most of all, all of you for sticking with us.

Take care of yourselves out there. Glory to Mankind.

If anyone is skilled with backing up sites, any assistance would be appreciated. Even if it's just to point at the right tool for the job (been almost a decade since I've backed up part of a site).

Shoutout to !helloharu@lemmy.world making the original post.

Now that romhacking.net is (effectively) dead, what sites are everyone using to keep up with new releases?

Have any of the fan continuation projects really risen beyond simply rehosting the DB that was put up on archive.org?

Going way back to late 2000s internet memes with this one. "Ceiling cat watches you masturbate"

NIST is a US government org that releases industry guidlines on best practices for cybersecurity.

I know that infosec and sysadmin work aren't the same, but in my experience it often falls to sysadmins and systems engineers to fill the gaps. Hope this is useful.

Soichi Terada is a House music artist who was popular in Japan in the 90s. Outside of Japan, he's mostly known for his soundtrack work on the PS1 game Ape Escape.

This is one of his covers/arrangements/remixes, where he plays around with elements of another song. Not quite sure what to classify it as, otherwise I'd label it in the title.

I find his music to have a pretty distinct style, and I like using it as background while I study, code, or do other work.
