Surge in coordinated scans targets Microsoft RDP auth servers

Internet intelligence firm GreyNoise reports that it has recorded a significant spike in scanning activity consisting of nearly 1,971 IP addresses probing Microsoft Remote Desktop Web Access and RDP Web Client authentication portals in unison, suggesting a coordinated reconnaissance campaign.

Static sites with Python, uv, Caddy, and Docker

Static Sites with Python, uv, Caddy, and Docker My preferred deployment stack for Python-built static sites. I’ve largely switched to uv at this point and it’s been pretty great. I use it for everything I can, from little scripts with uv run , to libraries, to applications. It’s so fast it does actually matter, the workflow side of things works well enough for me, and—perhaps most valuably—it manages Python executables for me beautifully. As we’re all familiar with by now, I’m a static site a

Why is this hard?

Every decision we make as developers is a tradeoff. We choose to do it because we believe that it holds benefit for what we are trying to accomplish. However, it is generally also a liability. The new code we are adding will need to be maintained, following new processes takes time, keeping infrastructure up-to-date and secure requires regular effort, etc. We are in an eternal battle to build what we need to build without being overwhelmed by these forces. If we're going to stave off that inevit

Google Drive now offers in-browser video editing

Google is now offering a way to edit videos right in Drive via Google Vids in a compatible browser. Whenever you're previewing a video in Google Drive, you may see an "Open" button in the top right of the screen. Clicking this opens the clip in Google Vids, where you can trim the video, add text and music and make other changes. Veo is available in the app too. After you open a file in Vids, a new file is created, and you'll have to save or export that if need be. Google for Education has a fre

Anchor Relay excels when security and simplicity matter. You don't need to expose port 80 or forward HTTP - all certificate validation happens outbound.

Nissan's redesigned Leaf EV starts at $29,990

We learned earlier this summer that Nissan was working on a redesign of its Leaf EV, but today the company shared some additional information about the vehicle. One of the most notable details is the price, which will be $29,990 for the Leaf S+ trim. That's a lower amount for the third-generation car than the original 2011 Leaf cost, continuing what has become a trend of Nissan offering electric vehicles for modest prices . The Leaf SV+ will retail for $34,230 and the Leaf Platinum+ will cost $3

That 16 Billion Password Story (AKA "Data Troll")

Spoiler: I have data from the story in the title of this post, it's mostly what I expected it to be, I've just added it to HIBP where I've called it "Data Troll", and I'm going to give everyone a lot more context below. Here goes: Headlines one-upping each other on the number of passwords exposed in a data breach have become somewhat of a sport in recent years. Each new story wants to present a number that surpasses the previous story, and the clickbait cycle continues. You can see it coming a

A Nostalgic ‘Addams Family’ Prop Could Join Your Spooky, Ooky Collection

The Addams Family has come a long way since Charles Addams’ paper cartoons debuted in 1938 and is currently in its Gen Z era incarnation, thanks to director Tim Burton. Still, the real ones know that before Wednesday on Netflix introduced us to Jenna Ortega as the acerbic teen and explored her mystery-laden life in dark academia, Christina Ricci made her a ’90s icon.

Best Unlimited Data Plans for 2025

When it comes to perks like streaming services and other extras, two plans run neck and neck: Verizon’s Unlimited Welcome and T-Mobile’s Experience More. We give Verizon a slight edge thanks to its modular approach to customizing perks -- even if each one comes as a separate paid add-on. When we specced out the two plans with similar offerings, the cost was about the same. While other providers tend to reserve perks like streaming services for higher-tier plans, Verizon’s Unlimited Welcome lets

A simple pixel physics simulator in Rust using Macroquad

Sbixel Sbixel is a very simple pixel physics simulator I made to learn Rust. It uses macroquad for drawing — and I was pleasantly surprised by how simple and awesome it is! Quick demo (click for youtube link): ⚠️ This project is very basilar and doesn't have much ambition to go anywhere — it's mainly a learning sandbox. How It Works The simulation uses a "sector" system to reduce unnecessary processing by only simulating active areas of pixels. All settings related to simulation and perfo

Complex Iterators Are Slow

Complex Iterators are Slow Thursday, 31 July 2025 Timi, my pure JavaScript B-Tree, achieves best in class iteration speed in part because I replaced Iterators with callbacks. They might be convenient, but the design of JavaScript Iterators is inherently slow for complex iteration as it prevents your compiler from inlining code. Inlining is when the call site of a function is replaced with its body to avoid the overhead of a function call. So, this: function add(a, b) { return a + b; } for (

Wave of 150 crypto-draining extensions hits Firefox add-on store

A malicious campaign dubbed 'GreedyBear' has snuck onto the Mozilla add-ons store, targeting Firefox users with 150 malicious extensions and stealing an estimated $1,000,000 from unsuspecting victims. The campaign, discovered and documented by Koi Security, impersonates cryptocurrency wallet extensions from well-known platforms such as MetaMask, TronLink, and Rabby. These extensions are uploaded in a benign form initially, to be accepted by Firefox, and accumulate fake positive reviews. At a
