China's global appeal is surging, with a new poll showing a remarkable 11-point jump in those favoring it as the world's leading power. This rise in soft power is fueled by trendy exports, cutting-edge tech, and a perception of stability compared to a chaotic America. Crucially, young people worldwide are nearly as likely to prefer China as the US, marking a generational shift that signals a major global realignment.

We’ve published new research from the EU co-funded project NGSOTI: “Learning from large-scale IPv4 blackhole: Behavioral analysis of SNMP traffic”.

Over a 12-month period (Nov 2024–Oct 2025), our network telescope captured ~634 million unsolicited SNMP queries from more than 153,000 unique IPv4 sources scanning an unused /18 block.

The origins of the traffic are globally distributed, with notable concentrations from Indonesia, China, the United States, Germany, Chile and others, as well as a few outliers generating unusually high volumes. A significant portion of the scanning activity can also be attributed to infrastructure belonging to commercial threat-intelligence and scanning companies, providing useful context on what constitutes “expected” background noise.

The analysis covers SNMP version usage (v1/v2c overwhelmingly dominant, minimal v3), community-string patterns (default, weak, and undocumented strings), and OIDs that point to which device vendors are most scanned.

This dataset provides insight into real-world reconnaissance trends targeting SNMP-capable infrastructure, helping defenders better understand background noise and scanning behaviours.

I heard that everytime you open X you lose 30 braincells, I had to stop using it because my IQ was dropping fast I almost became a racist. Gotta be careful. Everyone needs to stop using this site. Not only you have to pay for basic features you have for free here, but it's full of AI slop, bots, right-wing propaganda and it's buggy af. Like if you post something sometimes it won't work until you refresh the page, and people are still using that crap. Using X is like using Windows.

@konakona I went to the fediverse because I am racist. Are you mixing me up with someone else? Are you sure you are on the right instance?

We all knew this moment would come. JAWS dropped SAPI 4 support years ago, and now it is NVDA’s turn with NVDA 2026.1.
NVDA is removing support for SAPI 4 because it is limited to 32-bit.
PR text and link:
"Remove SAPI4. SAPI4 is 32-bit only. As we don't currently have a SAPI4 bridge or a compatibility shim, we need to remove support."

I ask because pretty much everyone I interact with seems to self-identify as on the side of democracy, but a lot of people express cynicism about the electorate and the public’s capacity to participate in reasoned deliberation. the most straightforward implication would be democracy is a bad idea. 2/
