Evolving threat 🚨 CVE-2026-111497, previously known to affect Node.js (node2shell) and Python has evolved into “HTTP2Shell.”
A significant blast radius.
This vulnerability leaves many libraries and applications using HTTP vulnerable to pre-auth RCE via Brotli decompression.
Please be aware. Fixes not yet available for all affected services. Look for Brotli (1.2.1) dependency upgrades when they become available.

It's just so cool. I talk the system over with my agents, they develop a spec. They build the system (that would have taken me a week to build) in an hour or two. Then I have them run the crapper, dryer, and mutator checks. And they find dozens of bugs, oversight, dead code, all while cleaning things up to a much better state.

Amused that AWS just unilaterally cancelled Cloudflare's Reinvent booth. There are always signs when someone finally realizes they're losing. Guess we'll just attend and throw the most fun side events without paying Amazon! Reply if you want an invite.

Trump sounds genuinely upset that Putin didn't defeat Ukraine in one day, which he insists Russia could've done had their generals not taken "a wrong turn"

Either this is true, which would be a terrible sign that the President is not in control of his own Pentagon, or it's false, in which case the President is lying about a crucial national security issue for some reason.

Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. Enough is enough.
President Trump should rescind the diesel deal with Russia and use the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act to impose harsh sanctions on nations purchasing Russian energy, work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦

Just to clear up any confusion here. The person in the left is a Cadet, which is a program for youth 12-17 year olds. It’s a leadership program. The person on the right is part of the Cadet instructor Cadre which is a cadet leader similar to an instructor in any youth programs. They do hold commissioned ranks in the Canadian forces however are their role is primarily volunteer. You can visit canada.ca/en/department-nati… . In addition to this, this program and its instructors saved my life when I was a kid! I was in and out of foster and group homes my whole youth and this program gave me a reason to stay focused and was one of the only stable things in my life! I owe everything I have in my life to this program! And the adult in this photo is volunteering their time to work with youth and help develop leadership skill and give these youth a place to learn and grow!! I don’t care how she looks or who she is, I applaud her and am thankful for people like her as without people like that I wouldn’t be where I am today!!

Due to popular demand for more nerdy puns from Mr. Shapira:
Context: We are debating if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty.
Husband: I'll just start another wash. It is idempotent.

The official U.S. Department of Education account posted, then deleted, a video positively comparing Trump to Hitler.
Captioned “No one does it like us” with a tiger emoji, the video opens with a scene from Darkest Hour wherein Winston Churchill refers to Hitler as a tiger.

I’ve got some news: I have made the choice to move on from my VP of Developer Relations role at IBM, and I’m taking some time to explore what I want to build next. In the immediate term, that’s a house (see picture).

Xiaomi is the Chinese tech giant. Their phones compete with iPhones.
Their new CPU roughly matches Apple cores on single threaded tasks, and is much faster in multithreaded execution. Of course, Apple may soon announce their next processor, so this edge may not last long. And you may find it it difficult to find a phone with the next CPU (Xring O3).
But the new Xiaomi processor is worth discussing further as it reveals an important trend.
The chip has a lot of cache (44 MB in total). It is more than most laptop CPUs. If you have an Intel processor in your laptop, chances are good that you have less cache.
The biggest cores on the the Xring O3 are the C1-Ultra. C1-Ultra really powerful cores. They support SME2 (Scalable Matrix Extension 2) for matrix/AI acceleration, SVE2 for data parallelism (SIMD).
It is astonishingly wide, with 21 execution ports, six of which support SIMD operations (128 bits).
This is more execution ports than you have on your Intel/AMD processor. The AMD Zen 5 has the upper hand because it can do 4x512-bit but 6x128-bit is the best you can do on an ARM chip as far as I know.
So the trend is clear. We are getting cores that are massively parallel in terms of the number of execution units. We get better SIMD (more units) and many more units capable of doing arithmetic.
This means that you can do many, many independent additions or multiplications per cycle. And much more cache.
This is where all the transistors go.

Brennan: "Nearly all of Florida is below the 95% immunization rate for herd immunity for measles. So, is your message to Florida parents to get your kids vaccinated?"
Byron Donalds: "No. My message is the reason we have seen a measles outbreak is because of rampant illegal immigration."

This is ridiculous. These are terms you ask for from an enemy after defeating them in a world war.
That is how the USA now treats its 'allies'. And that is why every country in its right mind wants out of the relationship.

Our closest ally. Our critical trading partner.
And Trump is hitting Canada with 50% tariffs.
What the actual fuck are we doing?
