Company promises countermeasures against new DRM bypasses — zero-day game releases become norm as security concerns mount over hypervisor-based bypass

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm.

About seven hours into the flight of Artemis II, Commander Reid Wiseman experienced something many earthbound Microsoft users know all too well: his Outlook email stopped working.

According to the white paper, solving the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem may require roughly 1,200 logical qubits and under 500,000 physical qubits, with attack times measured in minutes on sufficiently advanced systems.

Hey everyone,

I'm a web developer, mostly JS and PHP, about 4 years of experience. A while ago I helped a friend set up the infrastructure for his small IT company and ended up managing the backups there too.

The issue was simple: two servers, and I wanted to manage backups from one place. Backrest was the closest thing I found but it's single-machine, so you get one interface per server. The commercial alternatives felt like overkill. Also, they use Zitadel for SSO on all their internal tools, so OIDC support was a requirement from the start. And since they're working toward ISO 27001, having centralized, auditable backup management wasn't just nice to have.

I didn't find anything that fit, so I built Arkeep.

It's a backup manager with a server/agent model, built on Restic and Rclone. You run one server, deploy agents on the machines you want to back up, and manage everything from a single web UI. Agents connect to the server over gRPC so no ports need to be open on the agent side. It handles Docker volume discovery, pre/post hooks, and streams metrics back in real time.

One thing I want to be upfront about: Go was completely new to me. I had a client that required Go for some backend work, so I used Arkeep as a way to learn the language while building something I actually needed. I used AI a lot to get through it faster. The architecture and the decisions behind it are mine, but I didn't write idiomatic Go from scratch. I know this community has strong opinions on AI-assisted projects right now, so I'd rather say it clearly.

It's been running as a secondary backup system for about a month without issues. Still beta, still rough in places.

What works:

• Server + agent architecture, agents connect out (no open ports needed)
• Restic under the hood, Rclone for destinations Restic doesn't support natively
• Docker volume auto-discovery
• OIDC support
• PWA web UI
• Helm chart (needs more real-world testing)
• SQLite by default, PostgreSQL available

What's missing or not great yet:

• No VM support yet, it's planned
• Dashboard is minimal
• It's beta, bugs are expected

If you try it, feedback is very welcome. That's really why I'm posting.

My torrent client downloads files to internal SSD. When I'm low on storage (often), I remove some torrents from qbittorrent and move files to external HDD. It means I can't seed them anymore.

I want to be able to seed HDD torrents periodically. What workflow can I employ? I can think of:

1. Use 2 different torrent clients. One with "external" torrents only. It will never be launched when external HDD is not plugged in, therefore old torrents will not be marked as "missing files" and will not require verification every now and then;

2. Use single torrent client which can accept CLI commands to start/stop specific torrents. Before detaching external HDD I will run a script to stop all external torrents. I will resume them back again only when HDD is accessible.

Any other ideas?

I wasn’t really looking for a new game, just browsing around and ended up trying this out of curiosity. It’s a space MMO that runs in the browser, but what caught me off guard is how movement works. Instead of the usual “point and go,” you actually have to think about how your ship accelerates and moves over time and plan movement according to current orbital paths / locations. Took a bit before i got used to it, but once it did it felt pretty rewarding.

The 1:1 scale of the solar system also feels different since everything is based on real distances. Traveling actually takes planning instead of just clicking somewhere and instantly arriving.

It’s still in Alpha testing and the mobile version is a little clunky with some hiccups here and there. But it doesn’t feel like a throwaway browser game either. There’s deffo something more going on under the hood.

I’ve been messing with it here if anyone wants to see what I mean: https://space.zerog.live/

Not sure if this kind of realism is something people stick with long-term, but it’s a pretty different experience compared to most space games I’ve tried.

After getting burned by Pocket, I moved everything into a self-hosted setup.

Current stack:

• FreshRSS for feed ingestion
• Readeck for actual reading
• Linkwarden for long-term storage

Running on Docker Swarm behind Traefik, internal-only. Remote access via WireGuard.

A few gotchas that took longer than expected:

• Readeck container entrypoint pointing at /readeck (dir) instead of /bin/readeck
• Linkwarden auth issues due to build-time NEXT_PUBLIC_* vars
• Had to seed the first user manually in Postgres with bcrypt
• Internal SMTP relay quirks between services

It’s definitely more work than SaaS, but the upside is ownership.

Curious what others are using for this now. I considered Wallabag but opted for Readeck, even tho the Readeck Android app has a crash loop right now (for me).

Like soup-to-nuts. I know I need to document what I'm doing and I've started several times, but then I never go back and make updates. I don't know if it's just the ADHD or if I'm just going about it or thinking about it in the wrong way.

So I'm curious about:

• what you use for your documentation
• how you organize it
• what information you include
• how you work documentation into your changes/tinkering flow

Edit: Dang, folks! You all have given me a lot to read through, think about, and explore. Thank you!
