Incognito (Weird Web October)
In another Weird Web October contribution, I'd like to introduce you to Incognito Mode for Wikipedia. Yes, it's stupid.

There isn't an easy exploit for this PHP vulnerability
Elias's experience of the PHP CVE matches mine: it's real, it's serious... but it's not actually that easy to exploit "in the wild" except in conjunction with OTHER exploits, so it's not by-itself catastrophic. Patch your servers, yeah. But calm the fuck down while you do so.

Dem Bones! (Weird Web October)
The hand bone's connected to the cellphone. The cellphone's connected to the website. The website's connected to the puppet. Now shake 'dem skeleton bones!

So elegant. So demure. Much doggle.

Found GCAXYB9 Freeland to Hanborough #04 - Revived
Found in the third candidate place I looked, as the other walkers from my youngest kid's taekwondo school escaped into the woods ahead. Had to jog to catch up after this find! Discovered my kid leading the pack, when I finally got there.

Re: My Hobby Is Learning
Like me, Kev Quirk's hobby is learning... to the point at which he, like me, picks up hobbies like they're fistfuls of popcorn. I've got some thoughts on what this lifestyle means for me, too.

Alternate timeline in which all Greek and Latin roots are swapped
Remoteoscope and equigamic are both wonderful words and I envy our alternate-universe buddies. Concavenator has some more.

/pfp - a /slashpage for profile picture history
/pfp is a /slashpage standard intended to showcase a timeline of 'profile pictures' you've used to represent yourself online over the years. I've added one, now, and man do I look young in some of those photos!

I continue to fight to make BBC News' RSS feeds not-suck, despite ongoing efforts to dilute their value by the BBC themselves.
Last month they started injecting ads for their email newsletter-based subscription option into their RSS feed. But I don't need email: I have RSS! The ad initially slipped through the filters because it looks like the URL of a news article: sneaky move, BBC!
Anyway; it's fixed now and these newsletter ads should no longer appear in the feeds available on https://bbc-feeds.danq.dev - hurrah!
