Lengthy rant about this week's internet security issues, beginning "So, basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without logging in, which is bad" and ending, "Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 257. Anyway, it's Wednesday."

I help manage 2 websites with wordpress installations, and as of this morning neither of the hosts have the patched versions of PHP available to select.
I backed up two of my 3 DBs, not sure why I can’t do the third, and the host (Dreamhost) finished patching around 11pm PDT last night. So …?
@wjcstp who do you host with? We use WPEngine and SiteGround and both were patched yesterday. Of the two, I prefer WPEngine.

Soooo, I've been banging away on this crazy thing (first with tools, then with fingers and mallets) since last February when I first sketched the design.
Someone gave me access to one of these insane stainless steel table bases (hidden here by the table top that I fabricated) which had been chucked into a dumpster in Bellevue as flawed by some furniture/decor company that didn’t want to pay to ship them back to Europe for a refund.
The Jam Table is 5 feet in diameter and 34 inches off the floor, designed for four musicians.
Clockwise from bottom are a xylophone, percussion rack (with a kick drum built into the table base), propane-tank tongue drum, and - god help me - I scratch-built a standup bass into the table.
On Saturday, I debuted it at SEACompression (Seattle's post-Burning Man party) and people seemed to have a good time plinking, banging, and drumming on it together.
Only one small casualty - a little fish-shaped woodblock on the perch rack needs to be reglued), and one good lesson learned - It either wants amplification or placement in a quiet room so you can hear the bass properly. We were sited next to a dubstep sound system, which kinda swallowed half the sound.
I'll also be modifying the bass neck to add a torsion cable to counteract the string tension and - I fervently hope - reduce the tuning/futzing time to something less than 1 hour.
And I might *just* be in talks with a certain beloved local radio station to get it sited in or near their Gathering Space. Details if and as they develop.

Went and felt Sunn O))) perform last night. Very loud and weird and an interesting experience to help usher in spooky season.

hell yeah to all of this but especially rodan, shellac, and polvo
Couple of notes
In 1994, I'd just graduated college and was working my first job at an editorial design firm. My co-worker, friend, and future business partner of 20 years sat 3 feet away from me along a half wall. His girlfriend's friend Andrea was going to Art School™ out east somewhere (I want to say Yale? RISD maybe?) and sent a tape of what was cool. Side A was Rodan "Rusty". Side B was Polvo "Celebrate the New Dark Age". I've never been the same.
A few months later, that same guy, Bill said "Hey, this guy who was the guitarist of a band I liked when I lived in Chicago is in a new band called Shellac. You should check them out." Moved to Chicago a few months later and must have seen Shellac 8 times over 5 years.
At a Shellac/Fugazi $5 show at the Rainbow Room skating rink they were playing music between The Make*Up and Shellac sets and I couldn't place it and tried to describe it to Bill over the phone and he guessed Gang of Four. That wasn't the band I heard but good god did I love "Entertainment". To this day I don't know what they were playing between sets.
I once turned to my wife and told her if she ever wanted to know what it sounded like in my head constantly this was it and put on Melvins "Hung Bunny". I could listen to the A side of that LP 1000 times and never get sick of it.
A lot of the goth/art kids in high school and college art classes were super into The Cure. I never got it. Then I somehow got ahold of their early stuff. That first 3 LP run is just such great post-punk. (I think that was $10 CAD BTW — found it in Montreal if I remember correctly.)

Also I probably cheated as I think both Lysol and Celebrate the New Dark Age are EPs

‘Titled "Re-Matriate: Home/Land/Security," the piece consists of about 19,000 salmon vertebrae ground down into bead-like shapes. The bones were sourced from the Cook Inlet watershed, namely from the Kenai River and Skilak Lake. Painstakingly arranged and sewn together in the shape of a tunic using more than 1,400 yards of red thread, the piece weighs in at around 7 pounds. According to Mouw, the design
itself took an entire year to complete.’

A person sits in a dimly lit server room, lit only by a greenish fluorescent bulb hanging from the ceiling. They are tapping at a laptop with a glowing screen. Behind them are several huge server cabinets filled with servers and blinking colored lights. Fixed to the wall above them are several large computer screens, displaying white lines of text and infographics on a blue background. To those who keep the gears turning and the uptime above 98%: thank you. I hope you get some sleep tonight. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A meme where two people are riding a bus.
Pessimistic bus rider: I need to patch every IOT device in my home because of the number 4.
Optimistic bus rider: I can MITM all of my IOT devices and figure out what data they're all phoning home with.

Satellite view of an exurban part of Northwood, Ohio. At the lower left is the intersection of railroad tracks. Most of the area is covered by forest or cultivation. Off of Drouillard Rd. is a large grassy field with a pond shaped like a duck, the beak and top of the head being sand rather than blue water.
Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown would be amused. I guess also that what looks like the bathhouse is a decorated shed.

Off work late? Hungry but too tired to generate a private key? Try 4
4: an easy to generate private key.
Put it directly on your root certificates with your fingers.
You will certainly not regret 4

Ah, here's the story: https://www.theregister.com/security...
"The CA of concern in this case is called eMudhra, which boasts of having issued over 60 million digital certificates...
"'Not a number that starts with 4, or the number 4 followed by a few hundred random digits, just, 4... Another one is 56, and another is 115....' Other researchers have found private keys including the numbers 66, 155, 156, 230 and 237."
