PureVPN IPv6 Leak

In late August 2025, I submitted two security reports to PureVPN under their VDP. Three weeks later, I’ve received no response, so I decided to publish the findings to inform other users. The issues affect both their GUI (v2.10.0) and CLI (v2.0.1) clients on Linux (tested on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, kernel 6.8.0, iptables-nft backend). Here’s what I found. 1.

Wacom has introduced a new 14-inch creative display tablet to its entry-level product line for students and hobbyists. The Wacom One 14 is a smidge larger than the One 12 and One 13 touch pen display tablets that Wacom launched in 2023, providing a bigger digital canvas for users to sketch, edit photos, and sculpt 3D models while still being compact and light enough to toss into a backpack. It’s available to buy today for $299.95. That’s significantly less than the $400 launch price for the sma

Doom crash after 2.5 years of real-world runtime confirmed on real hardware

Post by minki » 2025-09-16 IMG_20250916_224553.jpg (81.99 KiB) Viewed 26683 times Two and a half years ago, I started my now longest real-world software experiment. I had read an article about how DOOMs engine works and noticed how a variable for tracking the demo kept being incremented even after the next demo started. This variable was compared with a second one storing its previous value. The issue here being, each incrementation would cause the variable to slowly get closer to an overflow,

CodeRabbit raises $60M, valuing the 2-year-old AI code review startup at $550M

Harjot Gill was running FlexNinja, an observability startup he co-founded several years after selling his first startup Netsil to Nutanix in 2018, when he noticed a curious trend. “We had a team of remote engineers who were starting to adopt AI code generation on GitHub Copilot,” Gill told TechCrunch. “We saw that adoption happen, and it was very clear to me that as a second-order effect, it’s going to cause bottlenecks in the code review.” In early 2023, Gill started CodeRabbit, an AI-powered

'Baby Steps' Is a Hiking Game That Trolls ‘Slightly Problematic’ Men

Game developer Bennett Foddy was watching a Greek myth unfold in front of him. A playtester for his latest project, Baby Steps, was struggling to navigate the game’s lead—Nate, a 35-year-old “failson” in a stained onesie—up a slippery hill. Each time, the terrain proved to be too much, and Nate skidded uselessly down it. Foddy has a reputation for making onerous games that take a little bit of masochism to master. This was not one of those times. Neatly placed next to the slippery hill was a s

Sony and other music labels settle copyright lawsuit against the Internet Archive

Just Use HTML

September 10, 2025 Just use HTML I’ve worked on so many projects recently that were more complicated than they needed to be because they used JavaScript to generate HTML. JavaScript is… Slower to load Slower to run More prone to breaking Harder to read and reason about Doesn’t actually look like the final output It’s inferior to just using HTML in nearly every way. I’m not saying never use JavaScript, though. I think JS is great at augmenting and enhancing what’s already there, and addi

Scientists uncover extreme life inside the Arctic ice

In brief Researchers studied single-celled algae, called diatoms, from the Arctic that were previously assumed to be hibernating in the ice and found they were actually quite active. This activity, which continued when temperatures dropped to -15 C, is the coldest-ever movement recorded for a eukaryotic cell. The diatoms move through a type of gliding, which is enabled by a combination of mucus and molecular motors that are similar to systems seen in human muscles. Given how abundant these di

With no DOJ breakup, Alphabet becomes a $3 trillion company

In Brief Alphabet hit just over $3 trillion dollars in market cap on Monday as investors continue to reward it after a federal judge declined to break the company up. On Sept. 2, U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta outlined softer-than-feared remedies for his year-ago ruling that Google maintained an illegal monopoly in search. The DOJ had proposed stronger remedies, including that Alphabet-owned Google be forced to sell Chrome. Tech companies like Perplexity and Ecosia lined up with unsol

Europe wants to turn Digital Euro (CBDC) into a stablecoin

Europe had first-mover advantage with stablecoins. Then killed stablecoins with regulatory madness: - No yield - €200M/day issuance cap - 60% reserves stuck in weak EU banks Outcome? € stablecoins = $500 million USD stablecoins = $265 billion That’s 500x difference! Tether exited EU. Circle pivoted to USDC. No one wants to build on broken rails. Now ECB wants to “tokenize” Digital Euro on-chain. Digital Euro is a CBDC… But ECB wants to make Digital Euro a stablecoin. Public chains

Internet Archive’s big battle with music publishers ends in settlement

A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit where music publishers sued the Internet Archive over the Great 78 Project, an effort to preserve early music recordings that only exist on brittle shellac records. No details of the settlement have so far been released, but a court filing on Monday confirmed that the Internet Archive and UMG Recordings, Capitol Records, Sony Music Entertainment, and other record labels "have settled this matter." More details may come in the next 45 days, when parties
