This burnt-out car dealership, Preston. It looks like a post-apocalyptic scene from the #Fallout series. Twisted car shells and orange oxidised metal fill the collapsed warehouse.

Approximately 150 vehicles were inside when the fire started. Heat melted window glass, which pooled across the floor. Investigators confirmed the fire was an arson attack. A few months after my visit, the site was cleared.

Note to self, and anybody that has the gumption to try.

When making a port on #freebsd that utilizes massive dependencies, like #rust #gcc or #llvm do not tell #poudriere to use the latest branch for fetching dependencies from pkg. The local install of pkg must be newer or the same as the one used in the jail.

Greatness PhaaS Steals Microsoft 365 Tokens Despite MFA

The Greatness Phishing-as-a-Service platform uses Adversary-in-the-Middle
and device-code phishing to steal Microsoft 365 authentication tokens and
bypass MFA. Active campaigns exploit trusted sender configurations and
phishing lures to compromise accounts. Stolen tokens enable attackers to
access Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive while evading
conventional authentication-based security controls.

Schiff!

A vertical, eye-level photograph by European Elopement Photographer Sturmsucht captures the rusted hull of an old ship beached on a dark gravel shore under a heavy, overcast grey sky. The ship’s bow dominates the center of the frame, facing forward. Its weathered metal plates are heavily flaked and covered in a deep rust-red and brown patina. Two circular hawseholes or drainage ports are positioned on either side of the bow's upper ridge, resembling deep-set eyes or nostrils. Rising directly above the bow is a skeletal, triangular metal framework and a vertical mast, stripped of rigging and showing extensive corrosion. The vessel rests on a narrow, dark, pebbly shoreline interspersed with patches of low, dry grass. In the background, calm dark water stretches horizontally across the middle of the frame, flanked in the distance by low, rolling, barren mountain slopes under the moody, cloud-filled sky. The lighting is diffused and even, emphasizing the textures of rust and stone.

🛠️ Tool: Atuin - Shell History Synchronization and Search
===================

Atuin is an open-source tool designed to manage, sync, search, and back up shell history with end-to-end encryption.

Key Features:
• End-to-end encryption for shell history
• Client-side encryption before sync
• Built in Rust for performance
• Supports bash, zsh, and fish shells
• Atuin AI assistant for terminal queries
• Self-hosting capabilities for sync servers

Technical Implementation:
Atuin is written in Rust to ensure it does not slow down the shell environment while providing faster history search capabilities. Data is encrypted client-side before synchronization, ensuring commands remain private and accessible only by the user.

Use Cases:
• Maintaining consistent shell history across multiple machines
• Securely backing up command-line workflows
• Querying an AI assistant without leaving the terminal prompt
• Organizations needing self-hosted infrastructure for command history

Installation:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://setup.atuin.sh | sh

Limitations:
Atuin AI is currently free while in testing. The source does not specify performance impacts of the AI feature itself, though the core tool is designed to be unobtrusive.

Hot off the presses... Say hello to the first public release of Audio Tetris, the audio-first version of Tetris on Windows written in Rust/WxDragon with the help of Google's Antigravity. I still consider it a beta, but I really want others to kick the proverbial tires. You can get it here: https://github.com/thegregariousdragon/audio-tetris/releases/tag/v1.0.0 Report any issues and feedback is highly encouraged. #A11Y #Accessibility #Blind #AudioGames #Tetris #Rust #WxDragon

Steel-hull boat upkeep.

1. On a calm, sunny day, find a place where you can reach the rust spots from the shore or dock.

2. Sand off the rust and then paint on the rust-blocking primer.

3. Let it dry, and hope not too much dust or plant seeds blow onto the wet paint.

4. Wait for a calm sunny day to paint over primed spots with a top coat, and let it dry.

5. Admire the boat.

6. Go to step 1.

It's probably about time I got another job.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer, with experience in large scale, high-throughput back-end systems.

I'll put my hand to most things, but I've most recently been doing #Erlang, Kubernetes, etc. at a gambling company.

Strongly prefer remote. London, UK.

Visceral loathing of GenAI and LLMs.

I've recently been messing around with Elixir and Phoenix. I would potentially like to move into #Rust.

It's Friday again, so it's time for another update on the work on Diesel, a ORM and query builder for Rust.

I published Diesel 2.3.12 today, which bumps the maximal supported libsqlite3-sys version to 0.38 and fixes an precision issue with Mysql's TIME types. See the release announcements for more details: https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/releases/tag/v2.3.12

We received no new bug report, but 10 new PR's this week. Several of the new PR's seek to add large new features so this required quite a bit of review time. Any help with reviewing changes to Diesel is welcome.
