If you've wondered what I have been up to... (unlikely lol) I have been learning/refreshing myself on how Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography systems function. 😉

The bug is like a joke. On Alpine Linux, type 257 to 1024 characters of anything and you get root. 💀
‼️ BREAKING: OpenSSH has rushed out a fix for a critical flaw that lets attackers log into some Linux servers without the right password. The team learned of the bug a day earlier. OpenSSH's Damien Miller says long embargoes now mostly help attackers, because AI agents rediscover bugs, sometimes within hours. It hits Linux systems on the musl C library with PAM off, such as Alpine Linux. Miller told admins to disable password logins or SSH itself "IMMEDIATELY". Version 10.6p2 works around it. Systems on glibc or PAM are not affected, and Miller says the root cause sits outside OpenSSH.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Exploitation requires specific conditions, not just typing a long string anywhere on Alpine: sshd built without PAM, password auth enabled, a target account with a '*' password field, and another local account with $5$/$6$ hashes. Root login also must be explicitly permitted. alpinelinux.org/posts/2026-11-… openssh.org/releasenotes.h…

Content creation runs on support. For years I sent my viewers to my mods’ channels, because their success mattered to me as much as mine. That’s why I built HotDrop: creators, mods, editors and fans all get recognized. The new site is live 👇
The creator building the community. The mod keeping chat alive at 2 a.m. The editor behind the viral clip. The fan who’s been there since day one. Every stream runs on them. Who recognizes them? HotDrop does: a verified profile and a reputation of their own. Tag your crew👇

Real talk: getting 1 sub after 67 videos isn't a win. It's a sign to change your strategy. Toxic positivity in the creator community can hold you back from growing. Instead of just hyping each other up, we need to give honest feedback and help improve. It's important to celebrate small wins but also recognize when something isn't working. Keep grinding, but make sure you're moving in the right direction, not just spinning your wheels.
