And there's F5 again. Publishing impact to some of their shit by CVE-2019-8457. Yes, that CVE was published on 30 May 2019 and F5 is just now publishing an advisory for it. And there is impact.

Model employee? No, I'm a modal employee.

you tell me what to do and I can't do anything else until that's done.

@orbific oh nice. These are lovely. Thank you @orbific

It is time. Welcome to the Silly Scribbles Advent Thread. I have no overarching plan this year, other than I *might* try & add an additional Friend for each day, because I think that might be funny by Christmas Eve.

Anyhow, starting with one based on my Christmas Card design for this year (mainly because I am very behind with everything & it was the only festive image I have done).

I give you... FESTIVE BORB!

Watching LinkedIn for people I've worked with during pentesting has been rather interesting. There are a lot of security roles that have just turned into AI roles, which is fascinating because I've seen your networks and you needed way more security people not less...

I retooted this last week, but I must draw further attention to it.

Go and check out these fonts – if for no other reason than they are *exquisite* and *free* for non-commercial use.

But also, take a couple of minutes to read the whole page, including the FAQ under the samples. So often (and boy have I been guilty of this in the past), designers and devs reach for the font that looks best and not worry about whether you actually have a license for it. Or, failing that, the closest Google Fonts alternative.

No longer. I will soon be correcting this across my entire web presence.

Bravo Matthew.

(if it keeps selling, by the New Year I might actually reach the dizzying financial heights of minimum wage for the time put into it!)

Any help with continuing to spread the word about this appreciated!

SCIENCE FACT.

A dog gets more factual information from sniffing another dog's arsehole than a human gets from reading the Reform UK manifesto.

I was being "funny". Someone made it funnier. Well played. 👏🏼

I grew up playing solitaire with actual playing cards made of paper, but humanity was still sending probes to the other end of the solar system, had Mach 2 passenger jets and computers which did what you told them to, eliminated smallpox globally and gave people artificial hearts.

As we enter a period in which gifts are given, often to children, I would like to give a gentle suggestion: Refrain of taking anything from a child's hands in order to show how the thing works, no matter how the learning process goes. Instead, point and ask questions.

Around a quarter of papers at an AI conference were found to have been written by AI. Additionally, a good portion of the peer reviews were also found to have been done by AI. People at the event are now raising concerns everything was essentially bollocks.
