Chaos in the Village: Escaped Huskies Trigger Community Alarm | November 09 2025, 22:55
Something crazy is happening in our village. First, the owner of two huskies posts on nextdoor that they ran away from home and asks people to notify him if anyone sees them, warning that they are skittish. Then, about two hours later, the chihuahua owner posts that the escaped huskies killed his dog and also a neighbor’s chicken. The husky owner deleted his first post. Everyone in the village is grabbing their popcorn. It’s sad about the dogs. I’m always afraid that Yuki will run away like that, he’s also a fighter and fiercely hates all dogs in the world except himself.
The Evolution of the Albanian Virus: From Joke to Cyberthreat | November 07 2025, 14:21
“Hello. I am an Albanian virus, but due to the low level of technology in my country, I cannot do anything to your computer. Please kindly delete one file on your computer and then forward me to other users.”
Here’s the 2025 version. The line they ask to insert into the terminal – echo “” | base64 -d | bash
This line contains curl, pointing to 217.119.139.117 whose result is passed to `nohup bash`. And from this address, a script is loaded, of course obfuscated.
Naturally, no available LLM agrees to decrypt it. But Qwen didn’t mind.
Upon execution, the script gathers information from Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox, and others, extracting cookie files, autocomplete history, and system login data, collects crypto wallets like Electrum, Coinomi, Exodus, Atomic, Wasabi, Ledger Live, and others, gathers content from the “Notes” macOS app with attached media files, data from the Keychain (passwords), and also scans the desktop and documents for files of certain extensions. The collected data are archived and sent to a remote server with the IP address 217.119.139.117.
To ensure persistent access, the script creates hidden launch services (LaunchDaemons) with random names, making it difficult to detect. It can download and replace the legitimate Ledger Live application with a modified version.
Such is the Albanian virus)
Name Games in Politics: The Curious Case of Ommair Butt’s Campaign Sign | October 30 2025, 12:26
I wonder why this Republican running for Congress from our little district didn’t at least use a pseudonym? Or does the context switch on for normal people and they just don’t see that the word butt means buttocks?

Chicago Airport’s Cannabis Amnesty Boxes: A Pre-Flight Solution | October 18 2025, 22:07
At Chicago Airport, there are these boxes for voluntary donations of marijuana to the police. And they are located AFTER the TSA screening line.
“These boxes belong to the Department of Aviation, but are serviced by the Chicago Police,” said police representative Maggie Huynh.
In general, they give passengers flying from Chicago the opportunity to dispose of marijuana before boarding the plane, as transporting it across state borders is illegal. Although marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, authorities claim they do not intend to arrest people found with it at Chicago airports. The TSA stated that if marijuana is found, they will refer the matter to the police. Chicago Police, while not recommending traveling with drugs (nicely said), states that they will not arrest a person if the amount they possess does not exceed the legal limit. They simply direct them to this box to voluntarily surrender what was found (what else to do with it, as carrying it on the plane is illegal by law)
So why use these specific boxes instead of, say, a regular trash bin? Because, as Huynh explained, only police have access to these boxes and can empty them — this helps prevent the marijuana or related products from falling into the “wrong hands.” And evidently, they must incinerate the waste somewhere…
AI Salesbots at Your Door: The Future of Autonomous Presentations | October 16 2025, 15:47
I’m telling the manager now, why do we need to present our AI solution, it’s AI, let it present itself. I imagine that in the near future, bots will be knocking on doors to sell themselves (and maybe not just themselves), while the door will have built-in bot protection.
Navigating a Luxury Hotel: A Maze of Misdirections | October 16 2025, 05:55
I currently live in a luxury hotel (as they describe themselves) for $400 a night. It must be said, I barely found a hotel – everything was sold out. It all started with the fact that there was no hot water in the room. They gave me a new room, which also did not have hot water. But in this new room, a plumber came and whacked the faucet, causing it to turn even more, and then the warm water started flowing. Well, good, now I know how to bang it. But I spent almost half an hour searching for this second room, wandering the corridors and following signs that lead nowhere. When I told the receptionist that only ghosts could improve my mood from the lack of hot water and the forced move, the lady at the reception smiled cunningly and said that anything can happen. And after that, I spent half an hour looking for the room.
Imagine, you are given room 446. You exit the elevator. There you see signs
“to the right 438-456”
“to the right 466-476”
“to the right odd rooms”
“to the left 400-432”
“to the left 478”
You follow the corridor and at the very end of it
“to the right 439-487”
“straight 429-437”
“back 427-401”
Ok, I have 446, so to the right. There’s a door
“straight 439-477”
Hm. Ten rooms just lost by turning towards the door. Well, alright, my 446 is somewhere here.
You enter, and it’s not there. There’s 445 and 447.
It turned out that as I walked from the elevator following the arrow “to the right 438-456”, it wasn’t in vain it said “to the right – odd”. But then where are the even ones? Also to the right! Just not mentioned. The even numbers are behind one of the doors marked “to the right – odd”. You have to walk about ten meters and see on the right side of the corridor a blind door of the same style as the wall with a “exit” sign and numbers 438-454. So the even numbers are behind this door, but how would you know? And what if you have 445? Well good, we go through the door. But there’s nothing there.
Absolutely nothing, just stairs to the fifth and third floors. But there’s also an unmarked door. And behind this door, hurray, even numbers.
Whoever navigated this needs to be beaten with whips. The fact that the hotel is 132 years old does not excuse it)
Yuki’s Predictable Howling Cycles | October 16 2025, 03:02
Yuki is like clockwork. Twice a year, he enters a mode of howling. Just like a wolf at the Moon. Last year, the autumn howl started on October 15-16, 2024, and ended on the 20th. Today, October 15, 2025, it began. Prior to this
* March 15, 2022,
* October 27, 2022,
* February 2, 2023,
* April 1, 2024, lasted four days.
* October 15-16, lasted 4 days
Update: October 19, 2025, it ended
Yuki, we have everything recorded!
