I am already starting to feel the winds of the enshitifaction with the AI providers. For someone who is deeply embedded with AI for coding and every day operational needs this is slowly bubbling up to the top of mind. It's your typical tech company story arc: a very generous and cheap functionality to get you sucked in and then they suddenly start tightening the noose. Be it the strength of the model or usage credits but I am feeling it. It's coming.

Trump is trying to terminate EVs in California.
Can he do that?
Trump is moving to strip California’s emissions authority,
end tax credits and erase electric vehicle sales mandates,
reshaping the national market while leaving the state’s clean-car future tangled in Washington-level uncertainty.
Yet California’s EV adoption keeps climbing,
with nearly 1 in 6 new cars fully electric,
robust used sales
and hundreds of millions in state incentive…

Why Trump's rollbacks haven't stopped California's electric vehicle transition
The Trump administration's efforts to erode California's emissions authority are slowing the state's EV transition, but not stopping it.

That was pretty short, really - though the fact I get to spend much more time on handheld games always makes them feel shorter. I've finished the story now, which ends with a good link to the Wii U game and Chase being sent abroad. I was concerned that this would mean that I couldn't continue to search the city, but straight after the credits I was back in Lego City.

But we're too tired to play the DLC, now 👀

A few weeks ago we watched "Clue" as I had never seen it but my partner had.
During the opening credits I said "The singer from 'Fear' is in this!?" and my partner said "What!?" and I briefly explained Fear on SNL, etc...
Partner says "It's probably some Asian actor."
Friends, it was indeed Lee Ving from Fear in Clue.
Also, I'm guessing 95% of you know this because you saw the film since it came out in 1985, but I never did because I was too busy going to punk rock shows.

So the wave of spam-registrations I figured wouldn't really affect us here on the tiny server with registrations closed and clear instructions that only users who know us personally are welcome and we will check.
Turns out no. Our server has run out of email credits from sending lots of email-validation messages.
Hope everyone remembers their passwords, coz password-reset emails and notification emails and whatnot won't be going out for a little while.
All .jp addresses and about half of them bounced as not real email anyway.
Started 10am yesterday, not an hour gone by without some since.
Nothing even clicking those activation links I don't think, certainly nothing filling in the "So who do you know then?" form to create an account.
With email notifications not working, replies to moderation actions could be slower. Not that there's ever much really.
I've turned registration off entirely. Probably should be that way anyhow really here. If you want an account, ask someone who has one personally.

Tired of drafting vulnerability advisories from Git patches?
We developed patch2vuln to facilitate the creation of security advisories directly from Git patches.
With a single command, patch2vuln can assist an analyst throughout the advisory creation process: analyzing the patch, drafting the vulnerability title and description, identifying CWE and CAPEC mappings, proposing a CVSS v4.0 vector, extracting affected versions, remediation information and credits, and generating a structured CVE/GCVE record.
The analysis can run entirely locally using an LLM via Ollama, while deterministic processing is used for elements such as CVSS scoring and structured output validation.
The goal is not to replace the security analyst, but to remove much of the repetitive work and provide a solid structured draft for human review and publication.
patch2vuln v1.0 is now available as open-source software under the @… Lab initiative.
