DoD is raising the B-21 requirement from 100 to 145 aircraft. This is smart. The B21 is the most advanced bomber in the world and gives our AF tons of flexibility. We will retire the B1 and B2 bombers. airandspaceforces.com/pentagon-consi…

Note that when you cross over to the Dark Side (become an officer), that part drops and is replaced with a separate call. Article 88, however, clarifies the obligation of officers, who do serve at the pleasure of POTUS. In other words, disobedience may be an obligation but so is accepting the accountability that comes with it.

Lots of talk about the oath service members take and how it’s to the constitution. That is correct but right after what does it also say?

@edskoudis @HackingDave My two favorite hackers on the same team adding value to others? This is gonna be awesome!

@HackingDave We are so excited to have you on the sans.edu Board of Directors. Your input will be invaluable, my friend. So much exciting work to do for the community and our students!

Happy to announce that I took a board position (thanks @edskoudis) to SANS Technology Institute (college degree programs).
I'm truly excited here as it fits right in to my passion of helping the next generation of cybersecurity folks get into the industry.
Amazing mission reaching our youth, and impacting the next generation of hackers.
I'm also on the board of Paradigm Cyber Ventures which focuses on K-12 cybersecurity hands-on courses in the high school level and we sponsor and fund many high school cybersecurity programs.
Make the world a better place.

These last few months, @BenSasse has helped me rethink and reshape how I prioritize my faith, family, friends, and work. The change was needed and I’m so grateful.

@samhenrigold So well written! Took me back to my own time, trying to cram code and DATA lines into a Color Computer 3 to be a full “customer relationship management” system for a newspaper route because I didn’t yet have a cassette recorder for storage and didn’t know any better. Glorious!

Just a quick reflective selfie before jumping in the Jeep and heading to Manhattan. Grateful for the chance to speak and spend the day with some great people. Here we go. #HelpMore

@vxunderground Right?!? Self-taught in BASIC (because I’m apparently old), learned algebra without knowing it was algebra. Algebra is scary and hard. Programming? Not scary or hard.

@FakeMannyJ @dominos What in the world did you order that made everyone quit? 3 large pizzas, only anchovies?😂

Placed an online order at my local @dominos and walked in to find out the entire staff quit and walked out. Left the doors unlocked, ovens on, office door wide open. #AvoidTheNoid

My computer hard drive sounds like a bunch of loose change bouncing around inside a dryer.
No idea what that means

This is incredibly powerful. Ben's perspective forces us to really reconsider our own priorities. What matters? What are we doing that we shouldn't? What are we not doing that we should?

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short. Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life. The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance. He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

@TheManhatter I don’t know what confuses me more: that there are 16 teams in the Big 12 (formerly Big 8), that Nebraska and Missouri aren’t there, or that West Virginia is. I’m getting too old for this.

I believe Apple is gaslighting me with all these typos on my iPhone.
Either they’ve change iOS settings for the keyboard or I’m rapidly aging. But there’s no way my texting ability has declined this much.

Darn it, @Microsoft! Why in the world did you mess with Notepad?!? It’s literally the best program in Windows that’s survived since at least Win3.1 and you had to go and mess it up! Notepad’s best quality was its simplicity!
vx-underground@vxunderground
Yeah, so pretty much that whole Windows 11 Notepad RCE thing was ridiculously stupid. Like, it was so dumb it kind of hurts. Windows 11 Notepad, with the fancy Copilot AI slop, now possesses the ability to handle mark up, or markdown, ... It's mark something, the stuff used in ReadMes. Whatever. Anyway, a security researcher realized that if you used markup in Notepad and instead of a hyperlink to a website with https:// you put file:// (the protocol on Windows for files, like in file explorer), it will arbitrarily execute it. It won't prompt you. Furthermore, he realized you could specify a remote host to execute it from using a different Microsoft specific protocol used for app installation. In other words, if you user clicked the hyperlink in Notepad it would download and run a program from any website ... without alerting the user. Normally, any sort of hyperlink that leads to a different domain, or tries to execute a file, is supposed to prompt you with an alert message, ... or something. However, Microsoft software engineers seemingly forgot to implement this notification Window. With this attack vector which has been present for AT LEAST 9 months, a malicious actor could send a .txt file and if the user clicked the link inside the .txt file it would automatically execute and run anything specified in the hyperlink. Even more silly, forensically under the hood, the logs on Windows, or to an anti malware service, it would look like Notepad was downloading something and then running a program. This is a very unique scenario which (to the best of my knowledge) no security product has encountered before. This could hypothetically result in files being downloaded and executed and being completely ignored by anti malware services because Notepad is a known and trusted program. Why would an anti malware service question Notepad? Basically, the point I'm trying to get to here is that I don't understand why Microsoft has introduced so many new features into Notepad. With new features means a new attack landscape (more stuff to abuse). Whatever man
