Ah, I see - dex as in codex. It's weird that you had to figure that out, but then the final puzzle told you exactly how to solve it (first animal in the almanac = A, etc).

I think after clicking it it disappeared and you got a new note instead (the icon on the top bar lit up).

It appeared on the top-right of the fishing window, but I didn't screen shot it, sorry.

The morse code said "FOUR CREWS TONES ASK THE DEX FOR THE ORDER". I don't think it was very helpful, since you needed to put the tones in order in a new section and you didn't need the morse to tell you! I don't know how you were meant to figure out the order, I just brute forced it.

The key to the Vigenère cypher was "atlas" and gave "OPEN FORGOTTEN TIDE" which was a new chat tab.

I clearly still didn't understand how that corruption mechanic worked, but red finally has a win! 🦀 They were in third when I logged on about seven hours in, but now look at us.

With a game duration of 60h 42m, we ran for over twice as long as last time (25h 39m). Congrats to @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip for the smooth running and the multiple fixes and new features (and fixes to the new features) that kept it engaging. Cheers to all for fishing and pressing.

The cards (e.g. mine), aren't showing season 4 stats aside from achievements.

Ah, this is nothing to do with the Dark Matter show based on the Dark Horse Comics graphic novel, but a newer show based on a Blake Crouch book*

* one I didn't think I'd heard of, but is already in my to-read list

Same, it would be nice if new ones popped up behind the old ones, or next to them for larger screens.

That's one of the reasons why I hated the Enterprise theme - it clearly said this is a show by Americans for Americans. The rest of us are welcome to watch, but we don't matter.

[-] Deebster@infosec.pub 6 points 3 days ago

You're arguing that the Metropolitan police shouldn't investigate creditable reports of crimes committed by people, when those people are British and, per the article, the Met has a dedicated team for that kind of crime? What do you think police are for in the UK? Why do you mention Americans?

This is good fun, as always, but I've gone afk and am not enjoying the mobile experience as much as desktop because I keep having to click through the welcome modal and/or deal with a screen covered in duplicate (and superseded) errors. Sometimes it's more errors than fit on the screen so I get it multiple times.

Please only one of each error.

I'm a little late with this news, but it's a good write-up.

The unread file was src/_probe/never_read_canary.txt, planted with a unique marker. Cloning the captured bundle recovered it verbatim along with the repo's full commit history, and the same test replicated on a second, unrelated repo.

The Linux kernel has recently been facing a series of discovered privilege escalation vulnerabilities, starting with the Copy Fail vulnerability and followed by subsequent vulnerabilities in the same spirit (Dirty Frag, Fragnesia). This development is part of a general trend where vulnerabilities are being found - and disclosed - faster than before. We expect it to continue, at least for the short-term.

The Gentoo Linux Kernel and Distribution Kernel teams are doing their best to keep Gentoo kernels secure. This includes both packaging the latest upstream releases as soon as possible, and backporting additional vulnerability fixes or mitigations whenever they become available. As example, while upstream kernel releases are still vulnerable to Fragnesia, the respective Gentoo kernels feature fixes from day one. At the time of writing, all supported Gentoo kernels feature the latest Fragnesia v5 patch. Please expect more updates. We recommend exploring ways to automate upgrading your kernel.

Please note that only sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel, sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources packages are security-supported. The vanilla kernel packages are vulnerable at the moment. Other kernel packages may carry fixes, but they usually are slower to be updated. Additionally, we recommend running the latest kernel version (~arch or latest stable LTS), as upstream does not reliably backport security fixes to older versions.

CPUID has since confirmed the breach, pinning it on a compromised backend component rather than tampering with its software builds.

"Investigations are still ongoing, but it appears that a secondary feature (basically a side API) was compromised for approximately six hours between April 9 and April 10, causing the main website to randomly display malicious links (our signed original files were not compromised)," one of the site's owners said in a post on X. "The breach was found and has since been fixed."

My favourite bit is this from the comments:

I wrote "please do not deliver this letter" on a correctly addressed and stamped letter once, it never arrived. A thrilling day indeed.

I love Doom Bar and I'm not alone since it's among the bestselling cask ales in the UK, but it seems that the US owners are going for a quick payout by closing and asset stripping what's left.

I wonder how long until they start building houses or an industrial park on the old site?

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.

I've linked to a decent write-up on Tom's Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.

An Australian YouTuber got invited to a NATO wargame and made this very interesting video about it.

The section that starts at 3m30s (10 minutes long) discusses the military history of wargaming which I found fascinating.

The rest of it is also well worth a watch.

It's not new (it sat in my watch later list for a month since it's 65 minutes long) so apologies if you've already seen it.
