Again Gemini was very helpful until it reverted to the stupid version (context limits) forcing me to edit its bash and Perl errors, so using this for write up until we start again tomorrow The stupid version has forgotten we are working in a sandbox lol #ransomware

This is fascinating; the ransomware that hit UNM yesterday (I was one of the victims - checking my infected BYOD device through a linux environment) touched everything. No data appear to have been exfilled, but ~160k files were encrypted. Python took one for the team

If your BYOD device was hacked www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/10/27/… , do NOT reboot your system. There is clear evidence of an exfill attempt after a reboot I am using Gemini to make my forensics educational :)

Gemini is cooking with gas today and the reason I shifted to Gemini (because Google has better access to the deep vaults of the internet) but note my guardrails. This is a niche field which was dominated by Soviet scientists for decades. Unlocking the lit will allow proper credit

This is a very nice book about learning to program the hardware in #FPGA. Well written, great educational approach and you can pick a credit card board to implement the examples (from blinking lights to gaming) for 50 to 80 bucks.
