MSRC to me just now:

As requested, please provide clear video POC (proof of concept) on how the said vulnerability is being exploited? We are unable to make any progress without that. It will be highly appreciated.

Time to make a 10-minute-long video of me pressing enter in CMD.EXE...

I get it that kids these days can't comprehend anything that doesn't live in TikTok. But for MSRC to not accept a clearly worded vulnerability report that doesn't have an associated video with it...

Fine. You want compliance? (Malicious) compliance is what you'll get.

Admittedly I used to run the Mastodon instance sending this message through Cloudflare, but then I one day thought that they have far too much internet traffic about everyone already and switched to bunny.net to reduce that ever so slightly.

All this has done is convince me that I was right to do that.

It still isn't perfect because how I configured it basically means bunny.net effectively MitM nearly everything instead, but I would rather give a company in Slovenia my data than a US company which has something approaching some sort of weird monopoly at this point.

As bad as the optics are on this one, they're doing the moral equivalent of github.com/DivineOmega/passwor…

They aren't storing people's passwords for their analysis, they queried the HIBP API with the first 5 hexits from the SHA1 hash of the user's password then check if the full SHA1 hash is returned. If it is, they report that it's compromised. If it isn't, they report that it isn't.

Is it alarming that they're in a position to do this for all the websites they protect? Oh, absolutely.

But CloudFlare was always MitM as a Service (the Service being "DDoS mitigation"). That's one reason why it's so actively distrusted.

She did change her stance on integration and did work to improve. There was a reconciliation attempt but it didn’t seem to have worked.

"At the same time the Alien Enemies Act was playing out, the Trump administration apparently deported a professor at Brown University’s medical school in direct contravention of a federal court blocking her expulsion."

"It’s hard not to see the two cases as related and further evidence that we have arrived – two months to the day after Trump’s second inaugural – at the falling-over-the-cliff’s-edge moment we’ve long thought would mark an irreversible-in-the-short-term descent into authoritarianism."

"Lawyers for Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a doctor specializing in kidney transplant patients and a professor at Brown University’s medical school, said she was deported on Friday despite a court order to the contrary from Judge Leo T. Sorokin of the Federal District Court in Massachusetts.”

"ICE is already detaining green card holders: Not just Mahmoud Khalil, but also German-born New Hampshire resident Fabian Schmidt, who has had a green card since 2008 and was detained at Logan airport in Boston over a decade-old marijuana misdemeanor, then 'violently interrogated' by ICE agents trying to get him to voluntarily give up his green card."

"And ICE is reportedly violating its own policies by detaining people for much longer than 12 hours, and without food for days. BAD, ALL OF THIS IS VERY BAD."

“'Any planes that are going to take off or are in the air need to be returned to the United States,' Judge Boasberg ordered from the bench.

That did not happen. Instead, planes that were in the air landed in El Salvador, where hundreds of asylum seekers were turned over to President Nayib Bukele, a brutal authoritarian who calls himself the 'world’s coolest dictator.'"

Trump Says Court Orders Don't Count In An Airplane. Also ... GANGS!

Let's see how that goes down with a federal judge.

“'Oopsie… Too late 😂' tweeted the Salvadoran leader. He was immediately retweeted by the White House, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and 16,000 other unspeakably cruel assholes."

"Far from Trump’s once-upon-a-time, oft-repeated lie that he was only focused on deporting criminals, a Lebanese doctor, kidney transplant specialist and Brown University professor with a legal visa was detained and subsequently deported back to Lebanon.

Despite a federal judge’s order to give the court 48 hours’ notice, Dr. Rasha Alawieh was put on a flight to Paris."

A Lawless President's Contempt

The crisis facing our democracy is escalating. How long will the courts and the people stand for it?

"The question has changed from,

'What will happen IF Trump ignores a court order?'

to

'What are we going to do about the fact that Trump HAS ignored a court order?'”

The moment of crisis: Trump intentionally violates multiple court orders

March 17, 2025

^{Robert B. Hubbell (Today's Edition Newsletter)}

"Saturday night, the administration deported 260-something alleged Venezuelan gang members. Alleged, because these people have had no hearings or any kind of public due process that we know of, and so we don’t actually know who they are. They could have been US citizens who’d been on their way to church."

Anybody Going To Stop Trump Disappearing Whoever He Wants Into Foreign Prisons?

Guess we are about to find out.

The image is a two-panel meme featuring a character from a movie. The top panel shows the character with a serious expression, wearing a light gray suit and glasses, against a black background. The text above the character reads, "DM: kills the favorite NPC in a tragic scene." Below the character, the text reads, "Players: My first reaction was 'wow, you did a masterful job pulling our heartstrings and investing us in your story. Truly commendable'." The bottom panel shows the same character with a surprised expression, with the text, "My second reaction was 'WHAT THE F***'." The meme humorously depicts the players' initial appreciation for the Dungeon Master's storytelling followed by their shock at the sudden death of a beloved non-player character.
