Someone has compromised a bunch of Minecraft plugin developer accounts, and has injected info-stealing malware into a number of widely used plugins for the game. Apparently, this is widespread enough that some involved in the investigation are urging people to just stay off Minecraft for now. Also, it sounds like they need some help.

@niclas Maybe they worry about something like "Dackefejden" happening again? ;)

Good morning. You look like you could use a little therapy today.

@Baley Aha, OK. I haven't tried that yet...played a lot of Warframe though, which is also from Digital Extremes.
@Baley What game?

@matthew_d_green At least the EU Council is discussing it openly as opposed to accepting encryption but compromise it by design (not letting users own the keys).
I don't have much spare time, so I decided to publish the PoC of my project to get shells on a variety of archs/os like openbsd-sparc64, linux-ppc32, ...
https://github.com/trufae/quemoo
It's a PoC, but it works, and it's easy to contribute and extend, i though about rewriting it in another language like V and provide static binaries, but i guess just refactoring the makefile should be enough for 99% of the people.
Feel free to check it out and add more images and qemu oneliners to handle every single arch of your favourite unix flavour!
Initial support for SM5xx 4bit MCUs has been added on git! This is the second 4 bit architecture supported in #radare2 (after intel 4004) and it's the brain behind the nostalgic Game&Watch handheld electronic games, but also shipped in some calculators. TM1000 could be another interesting architecture to support in case anyone is in the retro field. Disassembler code was massaged from MAME and it supports a bunch of sub-models too!
@freemo As an outsider, "following the money" (donors) and power structures, it doesn't seem to be any difference between the two parties, but perhaps the people identifying with said parties have different ideals.

@loke Unless you really want to build your own site, Google Earth has a pretty good community, and lots of interesting "pins". I haven't checked in a while though, maybe something changed.
