#Vulnerabilities and fixes

[vivaciouscynner]

Idk whether you’re an iPhone user or not but what are your thoughts on iOS 18.3 and whether or not it’s a good idea to go ahead and update to it? I’ve seen sound arguments both ways and was curious if you had any thoughts about it

Good question tbh. Unfortunately, for this question, I am an android user.

I DID do a quick little search on it, though:

Just from a glance, OOF, what a bunch of bugs. Sounds like they've got a handful of things to fix in this release. I do believe there are also a handful of workarounds, too.

HOWEVER - with that said, the update does fix some 20+ vulnerabilities. Here's the list:

but they may NOT apply to you and you can just continue with what you have until they do a hot fix for all the things they broke. You can also weigh how LIKELY you'd be a target for any of the vulnerabilities that DO apply. Most people really AREN'T - just depends on everyone's unique scenario. If you spend a lot of time on public wifi, download a lot of apps, visit not-so-secure sites a lot, maybe consider an upgrade. Otherwise, if you're the careful-with-your-data type, you could probably wait.

But if you want to know more about the vulnerabilities, you can search any of those CVEs here:

Search any of the CVE codes and it'll basically tell you how an attacker exploits the vulnerability. You can just read the simple description otherwise, if you're like me, you'll go down a rabbit hole learning how to reproduce.

Hope this helps!

Embrace thine oblivion, as shall I

I finished fighting Messmer last night and honestly did not think that I'd be so taken by him. Phase 2 design lives rent free in my head and the image of a moment of tenderness for someone so distraught with emotion really got to me.

Thinking abt end of obesity again and like kyle baby boy…. why do you put so much effort towards eric…. being his determination when he doesn’t put the effort towards himself… he knows the lengths you’d go to him and takes advantage of it anyways… kyle i need to crawl inside ur mind and understand what ur logic is (or perhaps… there ain’t none at all. it’s all emotion…)

merlin being so overwhelmed by everything he’s been put under, crumbling under the weight of destiny and being pulled in so many different directions he’s being torn apart, going to the one person who can offer him the most comfort out of everyone, his best friend, his other half. arthur who doesn’t realize whats happening until he turns and sees merlin’s desolate expression and tear filled eyes. merlin going “i know you are king (or prince) and you refuse to call me your friend, but you are mine and i really, really need my friend right now.” and before arthur can manage a word, merlin is stumbling forward into arthur’s arms and pulling him into a desperate hug, muffling his sobs as best he can but arthur can still feel the tears soaking his shoulder. arthur not asking any questions and just wrapping his arms around merlin while he breaks down.

whump scenario where Spock catches some sort of illness or similar thing (one that conveniently only goes after Vulcans) so it gives him a really bad fever that has him confined to Sickbay and while he’s there he starts hallucinating and having fever dreams that McCoy ends up being witness to

He could be hallucinating anything but what was playing in my mind was basically a confession similar to the one he gave Jim in Naked Time about love on Vulcan and his mother and whatnot. Just anything riddled with shame and regret and typical Spock angst

Thinking about how Kaz was so possessive and obsessive over Fifth Harbour because that's the place where he crawled out of the sea no longer as Kaz Rietveld, but as Kaz Brekker, and how that place was his start of darkness and the beginning of his hunt for revenge. But then he gifted Inej a ship there. He told her that her berth would also be free for when, if, she decided to come back, because she is under no obligation to. That's where he gave Inej her parents back. He made his place of start of darkness, to the place of his start back to light, and healing.

Thinking about how Kaz always fixates on the smallest details, and no matter how symbolic it is in an analysis, it's more symbolic to him as a person in the story.

The adopted au but it’s Darrel and Ponyboy being alike in their queer identities except Ponyboy doesn’t know and so he spends so long thinking that the way he is would just be another reason he’s a burden for Darrel and could be the final straw and excuse that Darrel uses to get rid of him.

No one ever mentions how on the QnA PE has a 30% cargo loss which?? That could mean only the order is broken but. It’s space the crew is also definitely dead so the Tulpar is just one lost ship in the many cases that PE just throws their hands up on. well you just can’t beat those prices!

This is exactly why it’s so frustrating when people ignore the way P.E’s negligence and lack of care/concern for their employees influences their decisions/behavior.

Like they don’t really care if 30% of their workers regularly go missing or get lost. You think they care if they had locks or adequate training? You think they left supplies on that ship to add them in case of emergency or conflicts? They don’t have adequate medical supplies and even on a regular trip the crew has rations, no abundance and implied very little extra and they STILL added an extra person. If we look at that early HR complaint info graphic they make it extremely difficult to file or make complaints, not to mention actively discouraging it with how many penalties are directly attached to having personal/co-worker conflicts.

They really only want employees there to work and little else. No real enrichment, no real privacy and no back up in case anyone gets hurts, hurts someone else or they get in trouble. I mean Curly really made a point in realizing that no one checks on the fucking nurse for evals! Was it too late? Yeah. But that is something the pony express needed to handle and require, not a Captain with no training or experience in their own medical course as Curly’s crew isn’t the only one who has likely faced these problems.

P.E. Is so oppressive and actively malicious to their employees I can’t fathom how they lasted so long without the literal Geneva convention coming for their ass with how many human rights violations they have.

love the wesper/kanej/helnik dynamic of “i can fix him”/“he can fix himself”/“i can make him worse”
