Fediverse 0day (not verified but 99% sure it works):

Toot something with content ppl will support and boost in the html but something horrible in the plain text or vice versa.

This inspired by instances that put all the @'s in html so they don't get rendered right on reader's instance. 🤬

The right fix is for the receiving/interpreting instance to attempt to align content between the versions and warn or show both if they don't clearly align (and maybe always have a feature to toggle which is shown). I know I hate getting html toots that are just "plain text but in an ugly font" too...

Heads-up FOSS maintainers!

There is a person sending bulk patches/PRs to FOSS projects for supposed issues "Found by RASU JSC" (not sure if that's a static analysis tool itself, or some org).

The patches I've received are all very, VERY wrong formulatic changes, maybe even LLM-generated, doing things as stupid as replacing sprintf(s, fmt, ...) with snprintf(s, sizeof s, fmt, ...) where s has pointer type.

If you've accepted any such patches, review carefully & possibly revert!

This time it's arcane timezone shit, particularly the missing day at the boundary where Samoa crossed/moved the international dateline.

Without knowing it, musl actually was already following the POSIX-future requirements for how dates on the nonexistent day get normalized. glibc was found to have a wacky bug misinterpreting dates even just *near* the nonexistent day. 🙃

It's always hilarious when a thread that starts out as "musl has a bug!" ends up finding that nearly every implementation but #musl has a bug (all different, no less!)

@aris It is, but this distills it down to something that is easy to understand by most people.

Who is the threat actor?

What do they want?

Why do they want it?

Developers should make "abuser stories" a thing.

"As an stalker,

I want to track my ex's every move,

so that I can 'coincidentally' run into them at any time."

"As a thief,

I want to be able to reset passwords using SMS verification,

so that I can compromise any account by bribing a telco employee."

@gremlins the wiki literally starts with "Not to be confused with a plaid fabric." I wash my hnads in innocence

help my partner keeps mixing up flannel and plaid, and while i understand *why* how am i supposed to describe flannel texture except for "plaid pants when they're new but only the flannel ones not the regular cotton ones"

@eater NOT to be confused!!!!! NOT! DON'T CONFUSE THEM

you silly creature

Azure: you're running Windows, you hate yourself, probably both
Google: you have transcended beyond such earthly requirements as "customer service" or "services that don't get deprecated in three years"
Hetzner: you run a herd of carefully groomed pets and not cattle
OVH: wot is dis "uptime" ov which u speek
Oracle: lol
Some Guy LLC: I would rather sign up with Oracle

I don't know why this happens so often

the things a mirror should show are explicitly not things that are on the screen
