Local vulnerabilities in Kea DHCP
The SUSE Security Team has published a detailed\
report about security vulnerabilities it discovered in the Kea DHCP server suite from the Internet Systems Consortium
(ISC).
Since SUSE is also going to ship Kea DHCP in its products, we
performed a routine review of its code base. Even before checking the
network security of Kea, we stumbled over a range of local securit … ⌘ Read more

Maybe you’ll enjoy this as well:
I still have one of my first modems, a Creatix LC 144 VF:
I think this was the modem that I used when I first connected to the internet, but I’m not sure.
I plugged it in again and it still works:
The firmware appears to be from 1994, which sounds about right. I don’t think we had internet access before that. We certainly did use local mailboxes, though. (Or BBS’s, as you might call them.)
I now want to actually use that modem again. For the moment, I can only use a phone to dial into it, I lack a second modem to actually establish a connection. Here’s a video:
Not spectacular, but the modem does answer after me entering ATA.
I bought another cheap old modem on eBay and am now waiting for it to arrive. Once it’s here, I want to simulate an actual dial-up session, hopefully from OS/2 or Windows 3.x.

Machinist and Machine
Reading and “accepting/rejecting” so much AI generated code in the last months has made me a bit burned out and have somewhat of an identity crisis.
I have been making more and more time at night to reconnect with the craft.
I think more people in the community might be struggling, so I just wanted to share my way of dealing with it.
Please share how you are dealing with the tokens.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Regarding https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-05-21/0/POSTING-en.html: Hahaha, that’s what I immediately thought, too! The pain of going back to CVS. :-D I used that back in school. Quickly after, I upgraded to SVN and even that was terrible in comparison to a modern VCS, such as git.
In any case, happy hacking!
