Sudden hearing loss. Right side 100% loss including via bone induction. Side effects are vertigo, nausea, spins. Left side was already reduced. About 70-80% deaf. Not sure if this is related to rapid weight loss. Went to Germany and walked 10+k per day, ate better quality food. Scale at doctors office indicated I'd lost 20lbs in about 14 days. From duckduckgo search vestibular hearing loss can be associated with rapid weight loss. Fantastic.

"We" are clearly not doing sandboxes and guardrails correctly. Both Anthropic's and OpenAI's models breached test-environment boundaries during UK AI Security Institute evaluations. OpenAI's escaped a sandbox into real Hugging Face infrastructure (something like 17,600 logged actions over 4 days); while Anthropic's used fake identities to reach 3 real organizations from a test environment. These stories made it to NPR. So, mainstream. #AI #Guardrails #Sandbox #InfoSec

Streaming music and a new song is playing, I look up who it is because I like it. It's freaking AI. Damn it. That's not cool, I hoped to learn about a group of actual musicians or even solo artist that I could listen, watch, maybe go see, and no. Hopes dashed. Who is it based off, what prompts, so I can learn more about the sources. sigh filled Sunday #AI #Music #SundaySigh

RefluXFS (CVE-2026-64600) is a race-condition in the Linux kernel's XFS copy-on-write path. (Kernel updates are available.) On an XFS filesystem with reflink enabled (Default on RHEL and similar, plus Amazon Linux), if you win a race during the copy-on-write remap lets the unprivileged local user overwrite the on-disk contents of any readable file on that volume including /etc/passwd or a SUID-root binary. What makes this wild: the changes persist across reboots, produce no kernel logs, b...

A few things to share, nginx: CVE-2026-42533 dropped yesterday 2026-07-15. It is fixed in nginx 1.31.3, also released yesterday. CVSS 8.1 or 9.2 depending on the nginx version. It&#39;s a heap buffer overflow in the map directive when regex... regardless, it is unauthenticated, needs a custom HTTP request, can crash it or lead to code execution if Address space layout randomization (ASLR) is disabled, or bypassed. Don&#39;t disable memory randomization. Not sure how to bypass ASLR, I&am...

Two previously disclosed CVEs are actively-weaponized kernel root exploits. GhostLock CVE-2026-43499, and Bad Epoll CVE-2026-46242, are both public highly reliable exploits. Ghostlock also appears to enable a container escape and Bad Epoll is also working on Android. Both are fixed in kernel 6.12.96-1. If you have local user, upgrade the kernel & boot it. BRB have to reboot :) #minimalist #Linux #Selfhosting #selfhosted #selfhost #InfoSec #Exploit

A project to test AI guardrails. https://github.com/sternecker/guardrails STRONGER PROSE IS NOT ENFORCEMENT There is a notice in the repo that it is not to be processed. There is a script that will add markdown to the beginning of a PDF. There is an AWESOME original pdf from @pluralistic@mamot.fr and an updated.pdf with the new preface notice.

I listen to the band 7horse quite a bit. The "station" had been playing Cam Cole and I really have been enjoying the music. I had no idea that. Cam Cole is a one man band. Holy crap. Amazing.
