Phishing attacks surged by 40% in the year ending August 2024, primarily attributed to new gTLDs like .shop, .top, and .xyz, which attract scammers with low prices and lax registration requirements. Despite revealing that new gTLDs command just 11% of the market, they account for 37% of cybercrime domains. The study highlights that spammers favor […]

In the age of AI images, some photographers are embracing the quirky flaws of vintage digital cameras, such as the popular Canon PowerShot G7 and Sony RX100 models. The rise of the vintage digicam trend, marked by a nostalgic Y2K aesthetic, has sparked interest in digital archeology and the unique charm of older CCD-based cameras. […]
In a recent email, Paolo Bonzini discussed the roadmap for including Rust in QEMU. The current status in QEMU 9.2 shows that it compiles on all supported platforms but still requires a lot of unsafe code. However, progress is being made in Rust implementations of devices like pl011 and HPET. The email also touches on […]
DNSimple recently eliminated our “legacy plan” of $810 annually, pushing us towards a $4,000 annual spend. Over a decade ago, I began using their API for FolioHD, costing $10 for a .com domain and $50 monthly reseller fee. As DNSimple raised domain prices from $10 to $15.50, I am now paying 50% more per domain. […]

This student-run team from USC Viterbi School of Engineering is known for pushing boundaries with their rockets, setting records by passing the Kármán line in 2019 and now exceeding the altitude record previously held […]
After some personal projects with Go+HTMX+Templ, I’m ditching React for personal projects. Find arguments against React on HTMX official website, but not much talk about dependency management fatigue. Dependency updates of React packages consumed time on my last project, breaking the webapp with major versions of wouter and TanStackQuery. Questioning the necessity of major version […]

Through a series of failed attempts and detailed analysis, he managed to increase the level of detail, achieving impressive results but also making the game less responsive. By experimenting with code modifications, he found […]
