Hey internet friends, I somehow landed myself a neat new gig heading up research at @vulncheck (there goes the neighborhood)!
We're doing a webcast next Tuesday, August 26 on 1H 2025 vulnerability and exploitation insights, including:
• 400+ CVEs were exploited for the first time and added to the VulnCheck KEV. • 32% of VulnCheck KEVs had exploitation evidence on or before the day a CVE was disclosed. • 180+ CVEs were newly attributed to known threat actors, but the vast majority of these had exploitation evidence (but no public attribution) before 2025.

You aren't meant to use them for managing your system. They are mainly there for development. For example, I often use them for a debian chroot on arch.

Another game where the British guy calls Japs savages and if you just don't get mad at that he's actually really nice despite that. I like how he says this in the context of what he said during the boss fight so we just accept that he previously fought me while we were burning down his embassy but now we're just kinda friends.
To be fair, the Brits believed at the time every other race were savages, and they were, of course, correct.
if you read the journals of the first brit that made contact with the japs its actually really charitable shipwrecked there and got niggered over by the japs and portuguese for years while westernizing jap shipbuilding until like a decade later he could write home his letter basically said that the japs were the first civilized people in asia that he'd seen and that the crown should ally with them to own the continent. unfortunately commercial and political relations didn't allow for that as japan closed to foreigners soon after. but it's a nice thought he died a samurai and you can still visit his memorial in japan
@Paultron-3030 The irony is that Adams' appearing in Japan was a small but critical part of why Japan eventually closed; the Jesuits requested that he be executed on sight because they knew he'd contradict the story of the world they'd carefully spun for the shogun. His story's super interesting.
“In Night City, taxes are as inevitable as betrayal.”
Forget chrome-plated shootouts and corpo espionage—this expansion dives into the real horror of the 2070s: navigating the Night City Revenue Service (NCRS).
New Main Questline: “Audit or Die” You’ve dodged bullets, hacked Arasaka mainframes, and tangled with cyberpsychos—but now comes the deadliest gig of all: filing your tax returns on time.
The Hook: After a high-profile gig goes sideways, V receives a notice: you owe 1,475,000 eddies in back taxes. Interest is compounding at 120% daily (Night City rates, baby).
The Twist: Turns out, refusing to pay taxes in Night City doesn’t get you arrested—it gets you flatlined. The NCRS contracts tax enforcement to budget cyber-assassins called Auditors.
New Gameplay Features
Holo-1040EZ Forms: Jack into the TaxNet and manually fill out cyber-forms riddled with corpo-coded jargon. One wrong keystroke and your deductions trigger an audit-bot swarm.
Skill Tree Expansion: “Financial Literacy”
QuickBooks Reload – Reduce penalty damage from missed filings.
Offshore Haven – Unlock secret Panamanian servers for laundering eddies.
Charitable Donation Exploit – Generate tax write-offs by donating to “nonexistent” charities run by Fixers.
Mini-games:
Receipts Tetris – Organize your crumpled meal and ammo receipts before they expire.
Corporate Shell Shuffle – Hide income by stacking shell companies like Russian dolls.
New Factions
The Deductibles: A gang of ex-accountants turned mercs who exploit tax loopholes as both weapon and shield.
The Turbo Auditors: Cybered-up revenuer hounds with chrome calculators built into their arms. Rumor says their leader, Form-69X “The Withholder”, can sniff out undeclared income from a mile away.
Militech Tax Division: Not officially a faction, but they’ve cornered the market on “premium tax assistance”—aka extorting small-time mercs for kickbacks.
Romance Option
Lydia “The Ledger” Kowalski – A jaded, chain-smoking tax preparer who helps you navigate the NCRS’s labyrinth. She can be romanced if you prove your ability to hide income from three megacorps simultaneously.
New Weapons
W-2 Widowmaker: A smartgun that automatically recalculates your opponent’s net worth and deducts it from their health pool.
The Red Pen: A mono-katana styled like a giant IRS auditor’s pen. Critical hit chance increases against corpo execs.
Refund Grenade: Blows up and showers enemies with counterfeit eddies—stunning them as they scramble to scoop up the cash.
Endings
Pay in Full – You liquidate your chrome, your guns, even your apartment, and pay off the debt. V lives…but broke as a preem.
The Loophole – By founding a “religion,” you exempt yourself from Night City taxes entirely. You become a prophet of the Cult of Write-Offs.
Audit Armageddon – You refuse to play by the system. The NCRS deploys its final weapon: The Mega-Auditor, a 12-story robot shaped like a calculator. Boss fight ensues.
Washington (Quds News Network)- The US imposed new sanctions on Wednesday against four International Criminal Court (ICC) officials on the basis that any attempt to "investigate, arrest, detain or pro
A fox caught onto my day habits of when I free range Apparently watched me for months until he made his move, because hes taken 2 before Took 3 birds at once including my most precious, the silkies When I free range, Id stay out there with them from sunrise to 12ish Then check them every 20 mins or so after that until I put them up But now they are never unsupervised ever again.
I got in trouble with my landlady for shooting at it the first time lol Someone called the cops. She didnt care but had to tell me I can't do that again
I really loved those little goofs I miss giving them their belly rubs before bed every night
I love foxes but I would just shoot them. You haven't the time or energy to be craftier than them 24/7. Either you live in a concrete fortress or they have to die and like I said you know how much I like my foxes here.
They are usually too far away and it happens so fast Don't think I haven't tried I've had several encounters with it but by the time I had to react, they were way up the driveway Which is about 300 steps away
Considered it, I heard some people have "guard geese" But i don't really know how that works They are loud and chase things off but wouldn't a fox just grab that too? Tell me cause I'll start looking for one 🤔
Oh get over yourself. It’s a cat. Boo hoo. They breed like rabbits and carry diseases and parasites. So what he shot one that wasn’t suited to be a house pet. Do you know how many get euthanized in animal shelters everyday for exactly that reason?
I told a horse person recently that if I get enough land, I wouldn't mind just having a horse friend out in the field. I was told that there are plenty of older horses that aren't good to ride or work anymore, so they're basically free to adopt if you ask around. Might be free donkeys too.
