Thanks to @muscraft, annotate-snippets-rs might have a new "no-graphics" mode in the short term (and in turn, add that support to rustc).
We are still iterating on the specifics, but I would like to hear what people's reaction to the current state is.

    🕹️ Pixel8 is out! A tiny fantasy console where the games are written in **Rust**.

    Think PICO-8, but with a Rust compiler where the Lua interpreter would be: you write a little Rust, it compiles to WebAssembly, and it runs sandboxed inside the console at a steady 60 fps.

    The constraints are the point:
    ▪️ 128x128 screen, 16 fixed colors
    ▪️ 256 8x8 sprites, a 128x64 tile map
    ▪️ 64 sound effects, 64 music patterns, 4 audio channels
    ▪️ 128 KiB carts, 128 KiB RAM, a per-frame CPU budget

    What you get:

    🖥️ A boot console + five built-in editors (code, sprite, map, sfx, music), all drawn on the same 128x128 screen as the games.

    📦 Projects are real Cargo crates. Prefer your own editor? `$EDITOR` + `cargo build` works identically (the console hot-reloads the wasm on save).

    🖼️ Carts are real PNG images: cartridge art with a screenshot of your game as the
    label and the *full game* is embedded inside: compiled wasm, all assets, and
    (optionally) the Rust source. The picture you share **is** the game.

    🌐 One-command web export: a single self-contained HTML file anyone can play in a browser.

    ⌨️ A terminal frontend (`pixel8-tui`): the full console (editors, carts and all), over sixel or unicode half-blocks.

    🎮 A standalone player that runs on retro handhelds (PowKiddy, Anbernic & friends on ArkOS/ROCKNIX) as a single static binary. Drop it in the ports folder with your carts and play.

    🔁 A PICO-8 importer: sprites, flags, map, sfx and music from `.p8`/`.p8.png` carts transfer almost one-to-one into a new Rust project.

    🔒 A real sandbox: carts run in wasmi with no filesystem, no network, no WASI. Just a small C-like ABI and fuel metering turns infinite loops into a friendly error screen instead of a freeze.

    Free and open source (GPL-3.0). Get it from crates.io:

    ```
    cargo install pixel8-console
    pixel8
    ```

A red four-legged monster sprite stands mid-screen and two green slime enemies sit on the grassy ground at the bottom. The top bar reads "Score 1", "Best 10" and a coin counter showing 26.

              The Jscrambler npm package was backdoored after attackers compromised an npm publishing account. Malicious releases silently dropped a cross-platform Rust infostealer that targeted AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, npm tokens, AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude, VS Code), crypto wallets, and browser credentials*before your app even started. 😳

                                                Threat Insight: Cybercriminals Abusing Vercel to Deliver Remote Access Malware

                                                Cybercriminals are conducting phishing campaigns by hosting malicious pages on Vercel, a legitimate website hosting platform. The attack involves sending phishing emails with links to fake Adobe PDF viewer pages that prompt users to download executable files disguised as documents. The malware, distributed as Invoice06092025.exe.bin, automatically installs LogMeIn remote access software upon execution, enabling attackers to remotely control compromised machines. Over a two-month period, more than 28 distinct campaigns have been observed targeting over 1,271 users. The attackers leverage trusted platforms to disguise their malicious activity, making detection more challenging and increasing the likelihood of successful compromise.

                                                  Massive offensive launched on Russian businesses

                                                  In May and June 2026, the Clubfoot Wolf cluster executed a large-scale phishing campaign targeting Russian organizations across manufacturing, retail, e-commerce, agriculture, IT, transportation, healthcare, and science sectors, with primary focus on wholesale distributors of chemical products. Several Belarusian organizations were also compromised. The adversary sent phishing emails disguised as invoices or purchase requests, containing ZIP archives with decoy documents and malicious LNK files. Upon execution, a PowerShell script downloaded and installed NetSupport Manager, a legitimate remote administration tool, which was then used for malicious activities. The attackers employed URL shorteners to hide infrastructure and used multiple decoy files to build victim trust. The campaign demonstrated continuous evolution in delivery methods and infection chains.

                                                    RedHook Returns with a Dangerous Upgrade

                                                    RedHook is an Android Remote Access Trojan that has re-emerged with significant enhancements, particularly in privilege abuse capabilities. The malware autonomously exploits Android's ADB Wireless Debugging features to obtain shell-level access, integrating the Shizuku framework to execute protected system APIs. Recent activity shows expansion beyond Vietnam to Indonesia, targeting Southeast Asian users through spoofed government and financial websites. Malicious APKs are hosted on trusted platforms like AWS S3 and GitHub repositories. The current version supports 53 distinct server-issued commands and employs sophisticated persistence mechanisms including foreground activity spoofing, silent media playback, and cross-process monitoring. Distribution relies on social engineering via phone calls and messaging applications, tricking victims into downloading malicious APKs and enabling Accessibility services under false pretenses.
