the ancient romans are best known for the invention of the forum, a place where citizens could go to discuss and argue about topics of interest. modern scholars hotly debate whether the original forum was phpbb or vbulletin
Someone on Twitter mentioned that in some regions of Germany, a common idiom for whenever there's mist in the forest is "The foxes are making coffee", and thought the image was evocative enough for an illustration.

Tomas SA2TMSTaking a stab at formally verifying some small part of #FFmpeg (libavutil/common.h), but my efforts are immediately thwarted by bithacks like this: if (a&(~0xFF)) return (~a)>>31; That clamps an int to [0,255]. If it's hard to tell, don't worry; the weakest predicate and value analysis plugins in frama-c can't make much sense of it either
@fifonetworks It's a reference to the Battlestar Galactica reboot from a few years ago, where captain Adama insists none of the systems on the titular spaceship be networked together, because of how easily the Cylons could take over the entire ship if even a minor system was breached. A recent real-world example of this would be that car infotainment Bluetooth hack from a couple of years ago where an attacker could gain access to the CAN bus remotely. The solution to this is of course to NOT CONNECT YOUR INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM TO THE SAME BUS THAT CONTROLS BRAKES, STEERING AND ACCELERATION(!)
