It's much harder for companies to prey on you when you have a compliance background lol

An email screenshot with the text: "I am pleased to inform you that I have received a request from the branch to now close the claim. Your £250 charge has been refunded this morning. We do advise to allow up to 10 days to reach your own account.

An email will follow to confirm the closure of the claim and refund, but I also just wanted to email you directly as well."

AI generated duplicate reports on hacker one must be really annoying to deal with, clearly happening as recently as January. Also just responding 'copy' 💀 unless I'm missing something...

"Kali Linux ships an official package called mcp-kali-server that exposes the Kali toolset to AI clients over the Model Context Protocol. Combined with Claude Code, this means you can ask Claude to run nmap, nikto, or any other Kali tool..." roan.lol/content/2026...

been messing with AI pentesting tools (strix, artemis, shannon) but mcp-kali-server might just be the meta. kali now ships it officially. apt install mcp-kali-server, forward a port, drop 1 SSH command in your claude config. Claude Code is the right client, the AUR desktop app is just a site wrapper

70% of the models on Ollama are now...cloud based? I get that they're open(ish) ones still but doesn't this mostly defeat the purpose of local models and availability.

Back in the UK to this day, many of the buildings still bear the pockmarks and scars of shrapnel from German bombs, and many, many garden walls still have visible stubs where the metal was harvested for guns, ammunition, planes and bombs. We keep them as a reminder of just how far things can go.
