Joby (chaotic good)

@joby@hachyderm.io
mastodon 4.5.7

What am I to the deafening roar of the macrocosmos? Nothing much. Just a vessel to carry the message of friendship to y'all beasts and dirt.

Also I'm a mostly-PHP full stack web developer who does kinda conventional stuff kinda unconventional ways ... or maybe kinda unconventional things in kinda conventional ways if you zoom out far enough? It all just keeps coming around, you know?

Web UX tip: You don't need to make a 2FA field a password field with the asterisks. A 2FA code doesn't need to be kept secret. That is, in fact, *kinda the entire point of a 2FA code!*

Making it a password field just confuses my password manager so that it asks me if I'm changing my password to "6397".

Hey more hardcore #infosec people: Do you know of any exploits involving threat actors somehow using Microsoft's Bingbot crawler to crawl/scout targets? I ask because I've been seeing pretty intelligent-seeming vulnerability-probing at nonexistent URLs, and it's coming from IP ranges that are registered to Microsoft, and the ones with hostnames are like msnbot-[ip].search.msn.com

I spent all day thinking I might be under the crosshairs of an APT-type situation, but now I'm starting to suspect that Bingbot is just suddenly doing insane stuff that looks like intelligent penetration testing in logs.

It honestly feels plausible that Microsoft have just fired up some kind of LLM-based vulnerability scanner, and are just ... scanning random sites, for ... reasons?

Felt seen by something hostile today. Makes me want to retreat from the public internet.

I'm the Perl guy at 4:01. Except it's PHP, and 2007.

"In 2007 I'd have shipped this with one PHP script and a cron job!"

"PHP."

"The whole company would run on it."

"Society would run on it."

"No containers."

"No YAML."

"Just regular expression."

It doesn't say anything good about our political process that despite BROAD widespread support for ending time changes, and there being no clear reason to continue doing time changes, we just ... keep doing time changes.

If we can't even summon the political will to stop doing the stupidest thing that benefits no one and harms everyone, and would be trivial (legally, anyway) to stop doing, how are we supposed to do things that actually matter a lot?
