Seems to be some #css #parsing #bug in both #firefox *and* #chromium where multiple `counter-reset` calls somehow fail, but resetting multiple counters in the same line is perfectly fine. Very weird behaviour.

Currently collecting some #data on #ram usage over time, the graph so far looks weird.... We'll see where we're at after 24 hours...#akregator is now at *1.6GB* - bare in mind this is just an #rss #feed #reader ! Either it is trying to store *all* content in #ram - or there is a #memoryleak ... I really suspect this is what caused my #laptop to #crash just the other day. I'll attempt to contact them on #irc - but not holding my breath.
Oops, turns out there is a small #bug in #deadsocial - the #embed links aren't closed: https://coffeespace.org.uk/git/d3ad-soci.. In turn #footnotes in #pandoc are rendered as the *very last thing* in the page - so for ages the browser has been hiding them in my latest #articles over on #coffeespace ! Live and learn!
There is speculation on the tech community over on #hackernews that #apple is #patching the #pegasus #zeroday #exploit #bug currently being actively used against #journalists and #politicians https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=279.. Whatever the exploit is that they are patching, they have so far released *zero information* about it, not even a #cve number! It's quite seriously and actively being rolled out to all #ios devices in the wild.
The concept of #britcoin is quite concerning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWCsAKqy.. As I said previously, #crypto #coin and the like are just a #pyramidscheme and failure waiting to happen. A single #bitflip or coding #bug could bankrupt the entire #nation ! This is unbelievably dangerous and irresponsible.

Very good analysis, turns out to not be too serious in the end, just highly annoying.Oops, the #apple #iphone and #ipad stop connecting to #wifi correctly if a specific #ssid appears: https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/19/a-specifi.. The string that does this is "%p%s%s%s%s%n" - once a device tries to connect it cannot then connect to other routers, even after reboot and changing the SSID to something normal.
Another #crypto #stablecoin dies, this time it's #ironcoin https://irony-97882.medium.com/the-melti.. Apparently it was caused by an #offbyone #bug - ouch!
