Since a few days, my personal email is getting spammed with one-time codes for my Microsoft account. Anyone else seeing this? The mails themselves seem to be genuine and only contain links directly back to Microsoft, so I'm assuming this is some bot trying to brute force the password which triggers the mail-based one-time codes?

@ondrej @remi Thank you for your service 🫡

@magnetic_tape Yes! SPARCstation IPX.

@Koefoed Ifolge denne artikel her er det faktisk ikke så nemt til at udnytte nye PHP-hullen: https://eliastaylor.com/noexploit/

@miodvallat It is already! Lucky find 😁

@proedie lol

*squeeeee* 😍
Guess what's arrived! 😁

@retrakker Oh, thanks, very helpful! As a small add-on, I also found a snippet for the "disable HTTP multi-part" for lighttpd: https://github.com/PasqualePillitteri/php2shell-hardening/blob/main/lighttpd/php2shell.conf

@pelicangut @futzle @shlee according to one core PHP dev, this mitigation is sadly not enough: https://phpc.social/@Girgias/117476477429221001

@futzle gnah, I was really hoping to avoid this... 🙄 But probably the right call.

Ah rats, I really wasn't planning on spending time today patching some ancient PHP installation 😑

Quick update, also for myself: Googling didn't get me anywhere, so I resorted to asking the stochastic parrot and ended up with a somewhat reasonable suggestion of using the SN75ALS085-NT or -DW as an interface transceiver. Obviously, this chip has been obsolete and out of production for a _long_ time, but some distributors still do seem to have stock, now it's just a matter of finding someone who would sell a bit less than a full 2000pc reel...

@pojntfx another piece is removed from the house of cards... 🍿

@mhoye Sept. 20th, no?

One of my colleagues has a hang for bringing weird snacks and leaving them in the coffee kitchen, and this time he's outdone himself: this is the _nastiest_ thing I've tasted in a long time 😖😵‍💫🤢

@bonkers Hmm, that's also a good idea 🤔 Maybe not necessarily Kermit, but SLIP or PPP?

@bonkers yes, pretty sure it does (some old NetBSD flavour IIRC)

@bonkers I was thinking to just have AUI to ESP32 (or whatever) and have that forward packets to the Wifi.

I'm about to round out my #retrocomputing collection with a SPARCstation IPX. And of course it should have a network connection, but it only has an AUI port, and I don't have a suitable transceiver right now. 
So my brain immediately went down the rabbit hole of whether it would make sense to directly hook an ESP32 or Pi Pico W to the AUI port instead, and now I'm wondering what sort of differential transceiver would be needed here? Would something like a DS26C31/32 work?
