@jasonfried I’m already loving this change. Thanks for the great addition!

[Greg Tassone @fcgreg]

@AsphaltCowb0y @dhh @StellaSLcode @robzolkos You’ve got some great stuff in there. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to checking them out further!

@rblalock @FrameworkPuter @grok @OmarchyLinux Great work on this 👍🏻

Here's a great article on modernizing long-living software for newer language implementations and conventions, courtesy of @xchatty and @codeslack
Highlighted in this paper is the new v2.x of #bulk_extractor which is currently production-ready:

@xchatty I ran some tests against E01 packaging today and it worked very well. I didn't find any errors so far. Speeds seemed good, although it complained about likely I/O exhaustion on that test machine. I'll report back on Github if I find anything useful.

@jonazzen @dhh @LundukeJournal You can.

[Greg Tassone @fcgreg]

@dhh I just did this using Grok and it correctly diagnosed a chromium crash related to a stale gpu thread. Very impressive how quickly it walked through the logs, analyzed the crash dumps, symbolized the necessary files, and found the cause a the solution(s).

[Greg Tassone @fcgreg]

@vibefodder @Aditya_181105 It can certainly be done, but to pretend there’s no effort involved in the steps you just outlined is incorrect. This is especially true for most regular computer users out there. Totally unacceptable

@MoonMatterAI Probably the best use of AI animating a still photo yet. A fine tribute.

[Arsenal Recon @ArsenalRecon]

We just released Hibernation Recon v1.2.3.96 with some awesome updates - Windows 24H2 & 25H2 support, new decompression algorithms, now runs on Windows on Arm & Linux, etc. How do you analyze Windows hibernation? https://t.co/w8v2JqX7rn #DFIR

Here’s something you don’t see every day in #DFIR - launching a virtual machine from a Linux laptop (safely booted with WinFE) connected to Arsenal Image Mounter across a network via AIM Remote Agent! https://t.co/w8v2JqX7rn

[Greg Tassone @fcgreg]

@MrEerie @XWaysSoftware Yes!! I will be looking…

Exploring @thelazza’s new release of Fuji for Mac acquisitions sparked a fun take on making a “Fuji Cartridge” necessary for it to replicate to RAM-disk in recovery mode.

@etherallax @LibreOffice @AskPerplexity You can just change the theme to make the UI more to your liking. Play around with it.

@AZJackson85 Great move starting them off with a fantastic RTS game like StarCraft 👍🏻
