From magic to malware: How OpenClaw's agent skills become an attack surface | 1Password The same capabilities that make OpenClaw a groundbreaking tool also make it an urgent security risk. This blog contains confirmed examples of agent skills being used as malware vectors, and advice on ...

"If you are experimenting with OpenClaw, do not do it on a company device. Full stop."

"If you have already run OpenClaw on a work device, treat it as a potential incident and engage your security team immediately."

ah, makes much more sense as a college in-statement.

fwiw, i’m a tucsonan since 1992 and this is the first time i’ve ever heard the term “t-loc” used.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

grew up curling in wisconsin and can confirm it’s hella fun, with or without pitchers of spotted cow at hand.

i assume it’s a “if you have to ask, you don’t wanna know” situation….

A photo that appears to have a "gettyimages" watermark but the watermark is actually painted directly on the bridge.

This watermark graffiti by street artist Mathieu Tremblin is, like, the best thing ever.

i have that tshirt!

umpteen years ago i had tandoori tacos at the el rey theater and they very much improved my life!

from near your 'hood, @mattkenworthy.bsky.social

MVS erasure

what does it say if i owned books for all three and those books were very well-worn? also had several 'life in hell' and lynda barry books...

ah, i thought it was early 2021 that it closed. the little one just closed up a few months ago…

poca cosa was gonna be my quote post, but closed less than 5 years ago. it was so amazingly good. my spouse worked front of house back in the early 2000’s.

Jewels of the Desert (Published 1997)

the NYT did a piece on it in 1997: www.nytimes.com/1997/01/26/t...

iirc, the restaurant closed in 1998 when giovanni fell ill and closed for good in 1999 after he passed away.

er pastaro in sonoita, az. the chef, giovanni schifano, worked in 5 ⭐️ nyc restaurants for years before moving west. the walls were covered with pictures of the many celebrities he cooked for over the years. we were once seated at a table next to kevin costner and rene russo. best vodka sauce ever!

Holy hell, what an obituary

i’ll still be in south africa then, but everyone else should go!

the medusa nebula observed with a seestar s50 for 175 minutes

planetary nebula images will be posted until morale improves…

yes, to put it very mildly...

heck yeah! i am very much looking forward to bringing my kit along to south africa in a couple weeks to get some quality southern hemisphere observing. i have a couple possibilities to leave it there and run it remotely. i am very, very tempted. south african bortle 0 is something else...

yeah, the app lets you switch between alt/az and eq modes. a nice benefit of eq mode is longer battery life since it’s only running one motor and at a constant rate. i struggled to get 5 hours before and this session went just over 7 before it put itself to sleep.

thanks! i think i can pull a bit more out offline with siril, but for a quickie 30 sec edit with the onboard tools i was really impressed.

the support has been there in the software for a while, but i finally got the tilt head for christmas so that i can use it. the polar alignment process in the app is pretty slick so it doesn't take much extra time to set up.

headphones nebula imaged by seestar s50 in equatorial mode with 312 minutes of exposure time.

finally got my seestar set up in equatorial mode and taking 30 sec exposures. cut it loose on one of my faves, the headphones nebula. good thing i was at a bortle 2 site because i forgot to put in the narrowband filter 😆

just saw the post that the 15% is erroneous: lapcatsoftware.com/articles/202.... so far i’m not feeling the hate. both tahoe and ios 26 work well on my devices, no issues with the updates. some small tangible improvements for my use. suffered way worse “upgrades” in the past…

it goes thru the weekend so you’ll be just in time.

ikr?!? absolute s-tier people watching.
