🦖 Retro-Stealth: Making 2025 feel like 1999.

p0f is the gold standard for passive fingerprinting—identifying a host's OS, uptime, and link type without ever sending a single packet.

Just ran a simple curl request in PH4NTXM’s Linux Mode.

The Network Forensics (p0f) verdict?
→ OS: Linux 2.2.x–3.x
→ Profile: “generic fuzzy”
→ Uptime: ~11 days (on a 2-minute fresh boot)

Apparently, to the wire, we’re a legacy Linux box that’s been quietly humming for days.

Reality?
Modern hardware. Fresh RAM-only boot.

Just… a different way of speaking on the wire.

Enough for passive fingerprinting to drift—and confidently place us 25 years in the past.

    GPS is supposed to guide us. But what happens when it starts lying?
    In the region around Iran, GPS jamming and spoofing are disrupting ships, planes, and even everyday apps. Signals are blocked, locations faked, and navigation systems can suddenly place you miles away.
    This isn’t just a bug. It’s electronic warfare.

          Observer | Sam Altman Resets OpenAI and Personal Priorities Ahead of High-Stakes IPO by Victor Dey

          Sam Altman in a black tuxedo." width="970" height="647" data-caption='Altman is reshaping OpenAI’s structure and priorities ahead of a highly anticipated IPO. <span class="lazyload media-credit">Taylor Hill/FilmMagic</span>'>
          OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently made two moves that say more about the company’s future than any product launch could. On March 23, he stepped down as chairman of Helion Energy, the fusion startup he has backed for more than a decade, as OpenAI explores a large-scale power deal with the company. A day later, OpenAI pulled the plug on its popular video-generating model, Sora, saying it would reallocate resources to its next major large language model, codenamed “Spud,” as well as a growing suite of coding agents and enterprise tools.

          Together, the decisions point to a CEO stripping away distractions, tightening control and preparing for a highly anticipated IPO. OpenAI has reinforced that shift by strengthening its financial leadership, including appointing former DocuSign CFO Cynthia Gaylor to oversee investor relations.

          According to The Information, Altman has also relinquished direct oversight of OpenAI’s safety and security teams to focus on “capital, supply chains, and building data centers at unprecedented scale.” The company has folded its safety team into the research organization led by chief research officer Mark Chen, while moving security under the “scaling” division run by co-founder and president Greg Brockman. At the same time, OpenAI has renamed its product organization—led by Fidji Simo, CEO of applications—to “A.G.I. Deployment.”

                  The Guardian | Wikipedia bans AI-generated content in its online encyclopedia by Oliver Milman

                  Ban includes two exceptions: AI can still be used for translations, and to make minor copy edits

                  Wikipedia has banned the use of artificial intelligence in the generation or rewriting of content for its voluminous online encyclopedia.

                  In a recent policy change, Wikipedia said that the use of large language models (or LLMs) “often violates” its core principles and will not be allowed. The English language version of Wikipedia has more than 7.1m articles.
