This is very silly.
This was a meme I originally posted.
Apparently my schizo cat pictures, and their association with malware, is beginning to fundamentally corrupt people at the molecular level.
Excellent.
malware kitty makes its billboard debut!!!! (hundrends of locations)
let's see who rage tweets about the punctuation + grammar first

Brave just added email aliases directly into the browser.
your email address is not just a way to receive messages. it's a durable cross-site identifier. a retailer collects it at checkout and passes it server-side to Google, Meta, or LinkedIn for customer matching. that exchange happens between servers. your browser's tracker blocker never sees it. can't stop it.
Brave already blocks cookies, fingerprinting, and cross-site tracking at the browser level. email was the gap.
now it's closed.
how it works: click any email field on a sign-up form. Brave generates a unique alias on the spot. the alias forwards to your real inbox. the website never sees your actual address. if it starts spamming you: disable the alias. problem solved.
the server-side password system uses something called OPAQUE, your password is never transmitted to Brave's servers even during login. they can't see it.
five aliases free. mobile support and paid tier coming.
this is the same gap Apple's Hide My Email tried to close and then broke last month by moving to @private.icloud.com, making every alias instantly identifiable.
Timing.

Enjoyed reading Florian's article on being sick of AI writings.
I could actually focus reading it without the brain drifting away. That's my main tell for AI texts, the phrases are just so empty, I can't focus on them. This explains why.

I don't understand why people still trust Google.
A Japanese manga artist lost his entire Google account forever after he uploaded private files from an old comic he drew to Google Drive.
Google’s AI checked the files and flagged them as not allowed. He asked Google to review it again, but they rejected his appeal and banned the account immediately.
He can no longer access years of his private drawings and lost access to many websites and services that used his Google login.
The artist said this is very embarrassing and causes him a lot of trouble. He warned that it might not happen to people who always follow every rule, but others should be careful.
So Google is scanning files that people upload to its cloud storage even if they are supposed to be private. I wonder how long they have been doing this.

Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.
- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.
He built a language that fit in kilobytes.
50 years later, it runs everything.
Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.
Every iPhone. Every Android.
NASA’s deep space probes.
The International Space Station.
> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.
If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.
He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.
This Legend deserves to be celebrated.

⚠️ WARNING - An unpatched critical telnetd bug (CVE-2026-32746) lets attackers gain full system access with no credentials.
One connection to port 23 is enough to trigger memory corruption and execute code as root.
No patch yet. Prior telnet flaw is already exploited in the wild.

🚨 Używanie dodatków w VS Code może prowadzić do eksfiltracji danych oraz wykonania kodu (RCE).
💻 Badacze bezpieczeństwa z OX Security wykryli szereg podatności w popularnych rozszerzeniach do VS Code. Błędy występowały w Live Server, Code Runner, Markdown Preview Enhanced oraz Microsoft Live Preview. Mimo otrzymania oficjalnych zgłoszeń, twórcy dodatków nie udzielili odpowiedzi ani nie opublikowali poprawek bezpieczeństwa.⚠️ Sprawa jest o tyle niepokojąca, że rozszerzenia zostały pobrane ponad 128 mln razy i nadal są dostępne w oficjalnym sklepie.

Tips for new learner.
If you’re new to coding, don’t blindly follow the AI hype.
Even AI experts are still learning—and will continue learning for life.
Focus on coding fundamentals first.
Strong basics build real knowledge, confidence, and long-term growth.

Let me blow your mind real quick:
When you use Remote Desktop (RDP), Windows secretly takes screenshots of what you are doing.
It’s called the RDP Bitmap Cache.
To make the connection faster, Windows saves small tiles (images) of the remote screen to your hard drive in a bin file.
Even if the session is over and the remote server is destroyed... your laptop still holds the cache files.
Forensics teams use tools like BMCViewer to stitch those tiles back together.
They won't just see logs but the literal email, document, or picture you were looking at.

Bad / non-existent grounding on the hdmi cable. Lighter's piezo crystal creates a massive voltage spike to create the arc for the flame, which subsequently creates a magnetic field that induces small currents into the hdmi cable which ruins the signal integrity. Test diff cable.

Did You Know?
Uninstalling an app doesn't delete the proof that you ran it.
Windows keeps a Ghost File for every program you execute to speed up loading times.
It’s called Prefetch.
Located in C:\Windows\Prefetch, these .pf files log:
The exact Date & Time you ran it.
The file path it ran from.
The Run Count (How many times you executed it).
Forensics teams use this to prove you ran "CCleaner" or "Malware.exe" even after you scrubbed the drive.

‼️Gyus Don't Do This!‼️
Do not heat a knife with gasoline or a battery. Both cause damage. Gasoline causes uneven heating that weakens steel and causes cracks. Battery heating creates internal stress that warps the blade.
I still used matches. 🔥

VPN companies spent millions convincing you that a hacker on Public Wi-Fi is reading your bank details.
Meanwhile, HTTPS killed that threat 10 years ago.
You are paying a monthly subscription to fix a 2010 problem.

People think Anonymity is software you install.
"I use Tor. I use Signal. I'm a ghost."
No, you aren't. Anonymity isn't a tool it's a lifestyle of suffering.
If you use Tor but pay for your VPN with a personal CC, you are doxxing yourself.
You cannot patch human stupidity.
