Oh My God How Did I Not Hear About Firefox 3D Page Inspector Until Now?
Been doing too much security and Chrome and not enough Mozilla hacking. Update: Tools > Web Developer > Inspect. Then hit 3D THIS:

Decyber – An extension for Google Chrome. Removes most Cybersecurity hype with a single click.
Decyber: Rewriting Cybersecurity for Human Beings See also the original CGI version; they should produce the same results. Try it on www.whitehouse.gov/cybersecurity – install the extension, do a “Select All” and then right-click and pull down to “decyber this!”.

[exim-announce] Exim 4.80.1 Security Release # Laudable speed, clarity and process for handling a vulnerability.
I apologise for the impact of releasing this on a Friday. I do not consider there to be an acceptable alternative. This issue, which is known by the CVE ID of CVE-2012-5671, was found during internal code review of an area of the Exim codebase relevant to another issue, DKIM signing and verification, which has…

Can someone please explain to me where this new “trigger warning” meme has come from?
Example: NYPD officer planned to kidnap and eat women [trigger warning] – Boing Boing. …I think I get the concept, a sort of: “This may gross you out but it’s not traditional NSFW nor NSFL” However the phrase and annotation comes across either a bit nannyish and/or “consider yourself warned so don’t sue us if…

How to make a security geek feel very old: #Factorisation, #DKIM and @DrZacharyHarris
So this afternoon I got forwarded: How a Google Headhunter’s E-Mail Unraveled a Massive Net Security Hole So [Zach Harris] wondered if the e-mail might have been spoofed – something sent from a scammer to appear to come from the search giant.

Batch-saving multiple HTML / Web Pages to PDF
Earlier today I put out a plea: WANT: to get Chrome/Firefox/Safari to save a web page to PDF without invoking dialogue box / 3rd-party service. One-click or shellscript. — Alec Muffett (@AlecMuffett) October 23, 2012 …which (long story short) led to a bunch of suggestions none of which quite worked for me. A more succinct…
