Announced today at @defcon is #RaspberryPi's new microcontroller, the #RP2350. Two #Arm Cortex-M33 cores, two #RISCV Hazard3 cores, and more of everything you liked about #RP2040. Congratulations to all my former colleagues at Pi on a lot of hard work! https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-2-our-new-5-microcontroller-board-on-sale-now/

Job situation is looking pretty good! I have now some options that I can cope with. Most likely not going hack the planet under the bridge after September ;-)

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of actress Patti Yasutake. Fans will forever cherish her portrayal of Nurse Alyssa Ogawa on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Personally, I’ll remember her as a dear friend, whose sister was the late Irene Hirano Inouye, a founder of the Japanese American National Museum.

So earlier this year I wrote about this cybercrime rapper named Punchmade Dev, who wears outlandishly gaudy and expensive stuff around his neck and croons in videos in front of stacks of cash at ATMs, talking about how to do wire fraud, cashout PayPal and Cash App accounts, etc. The story showed how this Punchmade character seems to be a 22-year-old guy in Lexington, Ky named Devon Turner who operates multiple web stores that sell apparently compromised payment cards and identity information (alongside check printing software and tutorials on....wait for it...OPSEC!).

On a hunch that maybe Punchmade's lack of opsec might have caught up with him, I checked PACER and found instead that he recently sued his bank, alleging they discriminated against him for his race over his denied request to transfer $75,000 out of his account. Incredibly, Mr. Turner signed his pro se complaint filed in a Kentucky court with the same phone number and email address that are tied to the Punchmade domain names that are selling products like "ID+ High Balance CC, ID front/back, SSN, and 7$k-10k CC, for $80"

Here's the story:
In January, KrebsOnSecurity wrote about rapper Punchmade Dev, whose music videos sing the praises of a cybercrime lifestyle. That story showed how Punchmade's social media profiles promoted Punchmade-themed online stores selling bank account and payment card data. Now the Kentucky native is suing his financial institution after it blocked a $75,000 wire transfer and froze his account, citing an active law enforcement investigation.

Tim Walz is from Minnesota, which is the most Scandinavian state of US so he must be a great guy :-) AFAIK, he has Swedish ancestors. There's even a village called Finland in Minnesota, and active Finnish descendant community: https://friendsoffinland.org/

This can't be a bad sign ;-)

IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️

(Boosts appreciated)

The #Dillo package for #Debian will be removed from the repositories in two weeks.

https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/issues/230

The current maintainer seems to be unable to continue taking care of it, and I'm not familiar with Debian packages to maintain it myself.

Is there a Debian maintainer who could help us by adopting it? We already have a working package:

1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.

I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck

I'm getting allergic to "immutable state". It's like a cancer ;-)

Usually that is by itself "a thing" with no context of an application.

Is it too obnoxious to say that I zero care about immutable. I've just barely got used to keeping SELinux enforced and not looking for extra complications for my machines 🤷

Do you like sex? YOU'RE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS COUNTRY, says the freakyfreaky, clammy-handed incels at the Heritage Foundation who can't wait to surveil your periods, architects of Trump's Project 2025, WHICH WILL PUT AN END TO ALL THAT "senseless" use of birth control.
