Some time ago, I started looking for a Braille display to help implement Braille display support in #FreeBSD

Update: I managed to get a used one from the United States, and it should arrive by the end of the month.

If your country has websites that sell used items, I'd really appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for affordable Braille displays and let me know if you find any. Thank you!

In quite an aggressive bit of annoyance of my (fully functional) @Kobo Elipsa mostly collecting dust due to the #enshitification of the Kobo Firmware (requiring users to be logged in; working around that might put your data at risk of getting wiped at the next firmware update) ...

I took the plunge today and ordered a @pine64eu PineNote. At least that is a device which is properly hackable. Yes, I'm fully aware that the user experience will not be like a fully finished product. But that's perfectly fine - simply because it is hackable.

Simply a massive "F*** ***, #Kobo!" from me.

https://pine64.org/devices/pinenote/

If there are anyone who really wants a fully working Kobo Elipsa 2E in good condition, reach out and we'll agree on a price for it. I have the original box for it as well. The hardware is great, it's the firmware which is really annoying me and I don't have the patience to hack on a completely new firmware for it.

2. Odtwarzacze i multimedia: Dołączono klasycznego klienta NewPipe oraz odtwarzacz Auxio, który idealnie sprawdza się przy intencjonalnym budowaniu lokalnej bazy muzycznej offline.
3. Nowa sekcja Pobieranie: Wydzielono osobną kategorię dla narzędzi pozyskujących pliki. Znalazły się tam Seal oraz YTDLnis bazujące na otwartych bibliotekach.

From a research paper to running open-source code in just a few days.

We (with @cedric) have been experimenting in Vulnerability-Lookup with the concept of Local Exploit Hazard, based on the recent research paper “Modeling Local Exploit Hazard — A Bayesian Framework for Quantifying Exploit Risk and Operational Efficiency” by Stephen Shaffer and Laura Cristiana Voicu.

The idea addresses an important question in vulnerability management:

Not simply “How dangerous is this vulnerability globally?” but “How much exploitation risk does this vulnerability represent in my environment?”

Instead of introducing yet another static vulnerability score, the model starts from exploit likelihood such as EPSS and combines it with local security controls, CVSS attack vectors, vulnerability age and KEV policy to estimate an exploitation hazard.

We implemented an experimental version in Vulnerability-Lookup and connected it directly to operational workflows.

For the full details: https://www.vulnerability-lookup.org/2026/08/11/local-exploit-hazard/
