11th-Hour Funding Saves Program That Tracks Software Vulnerabilities The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) extends the nonprofit MITRE Corporation's contract to administer the CVE Program. But it only lasts 11 months.

We Almost Lost Mitre. As in you know, that CVE database for vulnerabilities that EVERY CYBERSECURITY COMPANY ON THE PLANET USES

Current conditions: Thanks to snow drifts with heavy snow, I'm currently snowed in as both doors can't move it. Will have to find an exit through a window to clear it because dogs will need to pee eventually

Last 3 days been sleeping between 10-12 hours after work instead of doing my usual up to 6 hours cumulative between two naps. Nothing like doing the timewarp to suddenly be approaching the weekend

We do tag stuff on here

Current Conditions

False Discord rumor: if your server has twitter/x links your server could get banned because they're in hot water with NCMEC

Discord isn't taking actions, so you don't need to go through and start scrubbing history. You can use automod to block the site for your own servers if you want though:

I'm getting too old for this shit

Aside from the cold, and the lack of HEB, hell yeah

Time to make a spreadsheet

Nvidia Stock: *nose dives because of DeepSeek AI not needing hardcore chipsets*
Me: "Ok so when's GPU prices finally going to get back to reasonable for gamers?"

Answer: Never, probably

Hilariously: A bunch of subreddits as well as large discord servers have stopped allowing links from X/Twitter along with Meta (IG) in some cases. What this means to the creator community is some folks better get their ass on here or back on tumblr

Been getting them less since coming to Minnesota but when they strike, its a bad time

A sticker emblazoned with the words “Always Punch Nazis” If you have the chance to punch a Nazi, grab it with both hands. This may leave you with no hands with which to punch said Nazi but fear not, this merely gives you the opportunity to head butt them. “Never look a gift horse in the mouth”? No, get on the horse and stampede the fucking Nazi. It’s very fucking simple. Musk fails to understand that our grandparents fought in WWII so he had the OPTION to do that salute, not be forced. That he chose to do that really shows how much of a bastard he truly is. He’s spitting on the memory of your grandparents. Fuck him.

If you don't want to go through and delete each post one by one, the alternative is delete your account. If you delete your account, they have a data retention policy of holding your data for 180 days before its purged. Probably similar for deleted data in general for law enforcement/etc

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

I won't begrudge anyone to still use the app after this, but I personally won't click a damn link from it. Holding your entire user base, including children who aren't even into politics yet, hostage for a political agenda to make some fuck look like a hero, violates the trust in the app.

Regarding the TikTok bullshit:

App is used by a lot of people including kids. The message the orange menace was the cause of it returning is a powerplay that's scooby doo levels of stupid, but it'll work because they just traumatized multiple age groups for a day. Fuck these guys.

Weather: It hit -19F/-28.3C last night, currently still -14

Bitching: WHAT THE EVERLIVING FUCK AT *gestures around broadly*

That's right, its Mel. That Mel. Not to be confused with the other Mels.

Keeping this profile personal from the shenanigans I do on bluesky because I've been catering to the lgbtqia community for BG3 stuff, and it hit NSFW by commissions real quick. Expect weather and bitching on this one.
