We Came For The Duo But We Only Got Tnt

idk im just thinking. if existential dread exists so must existential love. and the universe said i love you because you are love. the curiosity rover singing itself happy birthday on mars. creating desire paths and naming them desire paths. the first ever photograph taken of a cat in the victorian age. buying silly little gifts for your friends because it reminded you of them. babies automatically smiling back when they see a smiling face. the navajo people holding gatherings to celebrate the first laugh of a newborn. we are creatures of love by nature

pro-tip for commenting on fic: DO NOT tell the author if the fic was posted on the day you were born.

If i had a nickel for every doomed yaoi ship i’ve been hyper fixated on this year that ended in a space explosion, features mad scientists, and whose ship name ends in -ik i’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

The outfit was so pretty and shiny
