🚀💸 It's a cosmic comedy! NASA's #budget is now a 🤡 #circus act, while trying to access the details feels like navigating a virtual minefield guarded by #Cloudflare ninjas. Who knew that understanding government funding would require a degree in cybersecurity? 🔒😂

The Presidential budget proposal is a death sentence for the space agency

Is this ironic? I went to share an essay to #hackernews to find that someone else had already done so. However, it was flagged as "Likely AI-Generated"!

Surprising because my current blog is entirely in GitHub with a full commit history, I've kept a blog since 2005 (charliedigital.com/) with the same style of writing, and of course, I also have a few high profile Medium articles.

It is, of course, the truth that #AI has somehow been influenced to some tiny extent by MY writing instead!

In a desperate bid to cure the #male #loneliness epidemic, someone thought, "Why not make #friendship a #VIP #club experience?" 🤦‍♂️ You know, because nothing screams genuine connection like mandatory mixers and exclusive events that rival a corporate retreat. 😂 Welcome to #Wave3 #Social, where you too can pay for the privilege of pretending you have a #social #life. 🎉

1. Hacker News, a #CyberSecurity newsletter, is sent from a domain where DMARC policy is p=none, which tells email providers, like gmail, to deliver all email that is screaming, "I am a Hacker News spoof email sent by a POS scammer" to the intended recipient anyway. p=none means take no action, even if you know it's a scam. Spam folder optional. Email services and clients will oblige. WTF Hacker News?

2. Hacker News is also using an insecure signature algorithm for signing their newsletter.

3. An extremely well-known Cybersecurity expert is sending the newsletter from a domain that has no DMARC record at all, so all spoof emails claiming to be from them will be delivered. And likely this is being constantly exploited. A DMARC policy of p="reject" would have those spoof emails trashed and not delivered. But no DMARC policy means "whatever, and I don't want to know". So, spoof emails go through unstopped and no reports of abuse are being sent to this person either. And it's their job to tell us how to stay secure and not be fooled by spoof emails. WTF?

Sometimes I don't understand how things work in the world.
