Reverse engineering is probably my favourite part of my job, and due to interesting circumstances *learning RE is how I learned to code*, but at this point I do not see how it will be viable to do professional (manual) RE a year from now. Absolutely sucks.

Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Pretenders to the Throne of God is my favourite of 2026. I’ve loved the entire series and especially how each story felt connected but independent, but this really started to tie it all together in an exciting way.

Very fun to see 40K go mainstream. In the age of doomscrolling more people should try touching some paint(ed plastic models of an ork).

One of the first 0-days I ever found (and reported) was in this system. It uses an undocumented binary format for serialising creds, which I fuzzed. There was a heap OOB write in the deserialiser which could be triggered inside LSASS if you asked it to restore from a malformed backup file.

You want an example of focusing on culture war bullshit instead of warfighting, THIS is it. Hegseth isn't worried about the fact that he's set US policy goals in the Gulf back literal decades, no, he's too busy monitoring soldiers' testosterone levels and reveling in what slurs he gets to use.

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

In that case I will give you the only useful piece of advice I have from our island honeymoon: do not forget to take the villa key out of your pocket before you go snorkeling or it will end up disappearing into a reef 😅

I love when @faineg.bsky.social stirs the USAID pot. There are only two reasons people disliked USAID and they both come down to placing less value on the lives of struggling people around the globe than on your opinion of America.

That makes total sense. It’s a shame there’s no middle ground, especially with medicine. Hopefully you find the burnout gets better with time. It took me at least a year after leaving a very stressful role before I think I felt better about mine.
