It's trivially easy to disable multipath in Go.

But the point is that I'm not going to read the article unless I know it's interesting or relevant. I assume Britland was some island or area. It sounds like a real name of an area. The only reason I clicked was because I wanted to find out where it was. I googled it and nothing came up, so I thought "I bet it just some fucked up register headline", and I was correct.

Never seen that word ever in my life. Bizarre to use such a ridiculously unknown word for such an important story. I was thinking where the fuck is britland? Must be somewhere in Scandinavia or Germany.

I mean, boffin: fine. Everyone in the UK knows what that means. But britland isn't a term that anyone in the UK has heard of. (Testing...)

Also:

On Ethereum, the attacker abused EIP-7702, a feature introduced in the 2025 Pectra upgrade that allows a regular wallet to delegate its behaviour to a smart contract.

So it sounds like a combination of factors and lack of safeguards led to this happening.

Patches have now landed for 20.04 and other earlier Ubuntu versions. https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-109618#status

Patches have now landed for 20.04 and other earlier Ubuntu versions.

From what I gather, https://x.com/J4ck3LSyN/status/2112703096443097263 figured it out after the disclosure by wiz.io and openai (which I think was 24h before the patch landed). So they then used AI models to analyze the php code and independently found the vulnerabilities.

So, if that is correct then the problem was the 24h prior notice about the patches, which gave time for people to use AI to find the bugs.

Some have, but others are still showing "needs evaluation", and still no update for 20.04. I've just turned off php for now, as we only used it in a couple of places and won't be missed for a day or two.

Still no update for ubuntu 20.04 which has support via ESM, even though the patch is available for php 7.4. There are a lot of people using older servers which still have ESM support.

Not out on Ubuntu 20.04 yet, but sometimes they are a little slower. Hopefully should be posted later today.

Does six hours factor in maintenance? Also, I think it depends on the project. I was able to get a a number of quantum computing programs knocked up in braket with the help of various AI tools to run some simulations It would have taken me months on my own, but I got knocked out in a few prompts with free AI tools. It's a real eye opener.

However, that's very different from building and maintaining a product that will be used for live customers, where you have to consider security implications. This is what we're talking about here for Meta and Microsoft, and it's what I do for my actual coding job.

Yes, that sounds like a reasonable use case. But very different to the 100k a month by meta and microsoft.

Coding is much less than 25% of my time, and as i said above I want as much coding as I can get. I do very well thank you.

Not for me. I end up using chatgpt about once a week for my actual work, and maybe once a day for non work related things. Certainly if you need the subscription it's worth $20/month or whatever for a personal sub, but I don't seem to need that at the moment. I'm more curious about the $10k or $100k/month being value for money with people using it to do their entire coding.

I'm curious if they have any data showing whether it benefits productivity. I get by on the free tier of ChatGPT, and do 100% of the coding myself. It has never been a bottleneck, and I like to keep my skills sharp. AI helps in analyzing problems, getting quick answers to technical queries, reviewing code, etc. But running my own business I'm incredibly careful about expenses.

It's unclear how much OP's company was spending. The article gives a figure of $100k/month per employee.

But even $200/month is worth shaving if it doesn't generate value.

>You will have earned $22.5 million

Which is rich.

“Having money: Owning a large amount of cash, property, or valuable items (wealthy)”

Hard and smart, with good negotiating skills, in the right industry.

That's the point I was making.

>Exxon is up 40% year-to-date (YTD), BP is up 20% YTD while SNP500 is up 12% YTD.

But it's not sustainable in the medium term.

Anyone can decide to put their spare cash or retirement funds into oil stocks, but I don't think that it's a recipe for getting rich. Renewable energy is rapidly replacing oil, and if the Strait of Hormuz opened and the Ukraine war ended, oil prices would sink and you would end up with huge losses.

Nobody really gets rich by playing the market. You get rich by working hard and/or starting your own business, and investing in a diversified portfolio of index funds and dividend paying blue chips.

But that is something the customer needs to consider. AWS doesnt offer that as standard if your data is in one zone, and during a war even multiple zones in the same region may not be sufficient.

Not if it's bulk, but fine if it is actually a direct outreach with a hand-crafted email. The latter is appreciated, and the former is hated. It's usually easy to spot the difference, and a quick look at the headers will usually confirm whether it's from a bulk mailing service.

Sure, but the actual splash act just takes a minute at most, and usually about 10 seconds for me. I don't understand how you can have time to read anything.

Don't you think that if you have time to read your book then you don't really need to poop yet? Why not just wait until you're ready to go in?

This is a long article, and I haven't read beyond the first couple of pages. But the gist seems to be: shyster gets in bed with other shysters linked to Trump thinking it's a safe silver bullet, but ends up getting out-shystered by them and is now mad.

If anyone gets through to the end, let me know if I missed anything. I didn't feel it worth wasting two bottles of water getting it summarised by AI.
