The underlying idea of Leeroy at the end is to keep holding on, no matter how bad it gets, and to let others in to help you. You never know what’s on the horizon and you CAN make changes to make your life better, so don’t give into despair.

We finally saw the Norwegian sun! At 11 PM 🇳🇴

A hazy, foggy 11 PM summer sunset over the North Sea just off the coast of Norway. The sky is an hue and is reflecting off the water.

Tinkering with Nexus, it's annoying that it doesn't expose publish dates. So uv pip's "exclude-newer" can't function. Means it's an either/or choice instead of progression (you either use uv pip's config OR you pay for Sonatype IQ out the gate).

copy.fail Funny thing about copy/fail. The *default* kernel in al2023 (Amazon Linux) is based on 6.1 and is not susceptible to this (tested the poc in a virtual machine). However most "optimized" images (like the EKS ones) are using kernel6.12 which is. I believe there's a kernel6.15 as well.

Copy Fail — 732 Bytes to Root

CVE-2026-31431. 100% Reliable Linux LPE — no race, no per-distro offsets, page-cache write that bypasses on-disk file-integrity tools and crosses containers. Found by Xint Code.

If you're trying to upgrade to Windows 11 24h2 and you keep getting an error saying that your PC has a driver or service preventing the upgrade. It is EasyAntiCheat 99% of the time! Would be nice if Setup just told me that instead making me slog through XML files. 🤦‍♂️ #TechTip

Generic message from Windows 11 installer telling you that something is blocking the upgrade without telling you what it is, but the XML files generated from setup absolutely show what it is and Microsoft just doesn't want you to know it's EasyAntiCheat or it's many other forms.

XML file showing what blocks setup with this message, it's EasyAntiCheat. Nice of Microsoft to tell you what is blocking. Also, once you uninstall it you have to remove the folders from Program Files also or it still thinks you have it installed.

After pressing refresh after removing EasyAntiCheat and its folders suddenly you can now do the upgrade. Honestly, I don't know if I would even consider this an upgrade since 24H2 is just more intrusive than 23H2 but I know they will force it at some point so I want to explore it now.

I want to like terrascan more for IAC checks, but it has some weird ideas about what should kick out an exit code. Like if you use the recursive option, and there is a folder with no terraform files, it'll exit 4? Makes pipelining it awkward.
