Finding thousands of exposed Ollama instances using Shodan

news.ycombinator.com Giannis Tziakouris 2025-12-01 09:18:07

The rapid deployment of large language models (LLMs) has introduced significant security vulnerabilities due to misconfigurations and inadequate access controls. This paper presents a systematic approach to identifying publicly exposed LLM servers, focusing on instances running the Ollama framework. Utilizing Shodan, a search engine for internet-connected devices, we developed a Python-based tool to detect unsecured LLM endpoints. Our study uncovered over 1,100 exposed Ollama servers, with appro

The 16-year odyssey it took to emulate the Pioneer LaserActive

news.ycombinator.com Wes Fenlon 2025-12-01 11:02:11

In April 2009, a Sega fan decided to look into emulating the Mega LD, a quirky and little-known hybrid of Genesis and LaserDisc. This week he finished the job. Hey there ROM readers! I've got an absolute whopper of a story this issue with a genuine longform dive into the emulation of the LaserActive, plus a bit of backstory on the new fan translation of the Cowboy Bebop game for PS2, plus your usual quick hits on emulator improvements, FPGA happenings and other fan translation progress.

I Can’t Tell if Acer’s New ‘Predator’ Laptop Is Better for Gamers or Working Stiffs

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-01 10:00:09

In the end, graphic-obsessed gamers only really care about maximizing frame rates. But that’s not all gaming laptops are good for. If you ignore the blinking RGB lights most gamer devices stuff into every crevice, they pack high-end CPUs and GPUs built for intensive graphics processing—handy for artists or AI developers.

JBL’s Boombox 4 Speaker Can Pump Out Less Distorted Sound Thanks to AI

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-01 10:00:25

Sometimes you need a Bluetooth speaker that’s going to knock people’s socks off, not necessarily in terms of audio quality (though that’s nice too), but in pure, unadulterated volume. For JBL fans, there’s one wireless speaker that delivers on that promise in a package that’s not a total pain in the ass to cart around, and that’s the Boombox, which just got its fourth version and some significant upgrades to boot at IFA 2025.

Puffy Cloud Mattress Review: Soft but Supportive

I will admit that, once upon a time, I was not the Puffy Cloud’s biggest supporter. I’ve tested this memory foam mattress multiple times over my five-year mattress testing career and believed it simply wasn’t for me—too soft, not enough spinal support. Well, times change, don’t they? Granted, during my previous tests, I didn’t spend a whole week sleeping on the Cloud in my own bedroom, as I did this time.

The newly signed Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act requires issuers of stablecoins—cryptocurrencies that claim a value tied to a more stable asset—to fully back their tokens with cash or short-term Treasury bonds, submit to audits, and follow anti-money laundering rules, among other conditions.

That means that you can bind positioning to other resources such as movement points, action points, food, etc. Grids divide the infinite variety of movement options into a few specific ones, which can be considered separately by the player’s tactical mind.
