smol machines v1.20 is out with 1 key new feature:
The computer can resize while it's runnning i.e. add more CPU's, ram, or disk.
This way if you need more resources overtime, you don't have to stop everything to grow the vm.

Covid shot pusher telling you to be very afraid. I’m sure he has no agenda behind this prognostication…oh wait he wants a global organization to regulate.
‼️ AI doomer Jacob Coxon, who caused widespread panic, lied when he told Fox News he had no third-party help going public. The PR firm that represents another AI doomer, Eliezer Yudkowsky, has been working with him, according to two sources and an email seen by Pirate Wires.
The same firm had already booked Yudkowsky's co-author Nate Soares for interviews that overlapped with Coxon's debut, one source says, which suggests it knew his announcement was coming.
This is one of China's most formidable advantages: 93% of the Chinese believe AI will help their country. Only 36% of Americans do. These are dire numbers for the US. We have to turn this around.
if @apple were responsible, they’d use a few thousand of their billions of schillings to backport those patches to _all_ versions of ios in use. @johnternus
Urgent security advisory for iOS users!
Install the latest iOS update immediately. Security researchers report that financially motivated attackers are now using a complete, in-the-wild exploit chain that can quietly steal cryptocurrency private keys and mnemonic seed phrases from iPhones.
The reported attack begins when a target is socially engineered into opening a malicious page in Safari. That page is said to abuse a memory-corruption flaw in WebKit / JavaScriptCore to gain arbitrary read/write access from JavaScript, then bypass Pointer Authentication Codes (PAC) to run native code, break out of the WebContent sandbox, and escalate to kernel/root privileges.
With that access, attackers can pull data from the device Keychain and from local crypto wallet apps.
The claimed impact range is iOS 13 through iOS 26.5; that range has not been independently confirmed in full. Until more is known, treat any unpatched device as potentially exposed and update as soon as a newer build is available. Also avoid untrusted links in Safari, especially if you keep wallet keys or seed phrases on the phone.
Rails Pulse 0.4.0 is out. This is the biggest update since the dashboard overhaul and now includes better error tracking, a safety net for upgrades, real security improvements, and a lighter, faster app overall. Thread below. 🧵
