Notes


The Montgolfier Brothers - All My Bad Thoughts

All my bad thoughts I always distill down to pure hate
Blame my life on bad luck
Your face shines through, my reminder.

Debian - Hard Rust requirements from May onward

I plan to introduce hard Rust dependencies and Rust code into APT, no earlier than May 2026. This extends at first to the Rust compiler and standard library, and the Sequoia ecosystem.

It’s important for the project as whole to be able to move forward and rely on modern tools and technologies and not be held back by trying to shoehorn modern software on retro computing devices. Hard Rust requirements from May onward

Good thing my Linux-ing days are all over.

I'm Gonna Explode, 2008

I’m Gonna Explode, 2008

Brilliant casting of two novice actors and one movie that hits really hard; as the movie heads towards its inexorable heartbreaking finale, one gets the feeling that Maru is fully aware of how this will end up, but would literally rather die than live in the world she inhabits now. Bonne and Clyde? Badlands? Pierrot le fou? Yes.

There can be no objectivity when you see a film that touches you deep inside, a perfect capture of what it feels to be young and an outcast.

Do you think that if everything was normal, we would still be friends?

Cría cuervos y los ojos te van a sacar, por necio.

Rachid Taha - Ya Rayah

Oh traveler, where you going ? You’ll end up back
How many people have regretted unwise before you and me.

River's Edge, 1986

River’s Edge, 1986

Unique, disturbing and perplexing movie, and Crispin Glover steals the show.

It’s people like you that are sending this country down the tubes. No sense of pride. No sense of loyalty. No sense of NOTHING, man.

Trades

How many days would you be willing to trade to live one hour as a 16 years-old again?

Globalism and capitalism

Globalism has greatly empowered the capitalist class and given them new instruments to secure their position.

Colors, 1988

Colors, 1988

Directed by Dennis Hopper, starring Robert Duvall and Sean Penn, an incredible movie about East Los Angeles gangs with a great score by Herbie Hancock and rap by Ice-T.

There’s two bulls standing on top of a mountain. The younger one says to the older one: “Hey pop, let’s say we run down there and fuck one of them cows”. The older one says: “No son. Lets walk down and fuck ’em all”.

Lou Reed - Perfect Day

Just a perfect day
drink sangria in a park
and then later
when it gets dark we go home.

The Shamen - Hyperreal (live)

Old-school The Shamen classic, with Colin “Always Stoned” Angus on keyboards, Eddie “Evil Eddie” Richards DJ-ing, Will “Will Sin” Sinnott on bass guitar (RIP brother) and the always-beautiful Plavka Lonich vocals.

This video is sheer nostalgia.

The Shamen - MK2A

Just by the shoulder of Orion
Bright Satellite outshone the Turtle Star
Madam Pele and Mauna Loa below me
Raised up so high to gaze out at the sky
Distant seem the stars
Yet how close we are
Mauna Kea to Andromeda.

The Bridge on the River Kwai, 1957

The Bridge on the River Kwai, 1957

I’ve been thinking. Tomorrow it will be 28 years to the day that I’ve been in the service. 28 years in peace and war. I don’t suppose I’ve been at home more than 10 months in all that time. Still, it’s been a good life. I loved India. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. But there are times… when suddenly you realize you’re nearer the end than the beginning. And you wonder, you ask yourself, what the sum total of your life represents. What difference your being there at any time made to anything - or if it made any difference at all, really. Particularly in comparison with other men’s careers. I don’t know whether that kind of thinking’s very healthy, but I must admit I’ve had some thoughts on those lines from time to time. But tonight… tonight!

Zivert – Гудбай

Time’s gonna fade what was bright
God, well at least I have tried
All of this but it just hurts some.

7-zip - Exploit for CVE-2025-11001 or CVE-2025-11002 (with caveat)

The vulnerability is only exploitable on windows and has one major caveat.The bug can only be exploited when 7-Zip is ran with Admin privileges for this vulnerability to be succesfully exploited. This is because it the 7-zip process creates a symlink, which is a privileged operation on windows.

Hence the exploitation only makes sense when 7-Zip is used by a service account. 7zip - Exploit for CVE-2025-11001 or CVE-2025-11002

Merck'd-U!

Router vulnerabilities continue to pose significant threats to home networks. Today, I’ll document a series of critical flaws discovered in Mercku routers, specifically the M6a model, that could allow attackers to achieve remote code execution with minimal effort. This has been tested and confirmed against version 2.1.0 of the official firmware. This is also an informal escalation for CVEs for these vulnerabilities. (CVE Request 1744791) Request for CVE and full disclosure of 0Click/1Click RCE in default ISP routers (Mercku M6a)

detect-fash: A utility to detect problematic software and configurations

This PR introduces a new utility, detect-fash, which scans a system for the presence of software and configurations known to be associated with fascist ideologies. This may help identify undesirable and/or malicious activity that may interfere with the intended operations of other systemd utilities. GitHub

I guess I’m a fascist too, I love the false-flagging, they’re learning, improving and doing their best. Kudos on the Russian words, I was expecting Chinese because they’re the current boogeyman, but it’s a good thing to diversify your hate. Makes me so happy I’m not involved in this “world” anymore.

Empire of the Sun, 1987

Learned a new word today. “Atom bomb.” It was like the God taking a photograph.
