sshole | EP #215

Good morning, it's Friday. This is Guru's Tech Bytes, episode two hundred. Fifteen. Now look, I know what you're thinking, another podcast about AI, but hear me out because today's stories are wild, like genuinely wild, the kind where you sit back in your chair and go, wow, the world is moving fast and I'm just trying to keep up with my coffee and my wrench and my, you know, my whole dang life. So let's dive in. First up, there's this thing called sshole, and it's basically a tool that lets you, okay, so you know how you SSH into servers and you're typing commands and you're like, I wish I could just automate this whole thing? Well, sshole does that. It's got over two thousand seven hundred upvotes on Reddit, which is huge, and people are loving it because it makes remote work so much easier. Second, and this one got me fired up, Claude Code apparently sends your email address to websites. Yeah, you heard that right. Over one thousand one hundred eighty upvotes on this one. And look, I get it, it's probably for some kind of attribution or whatever, but still, your email just floating around there? That's a little much, you know? I'm not saying it's malicious, but it's worth knowing about. Third, so Salon, you know the magazine, they're basically saying goodbye. Like, they're shutting down or whatever, and it's got over five hundred eighty seven upvotes. And honestly, that one hits different, you know? Because I used to read stuff like that, back when I had time to sit down and actually read things. So yeah, it's kind of sad. The whole media landscape is just shifting under our feet. And finally, MS Paint, yes, that MS Paint, has a remote code execution vulnerability. Five hundred fifty six upvotes on this one. And I'm sitting here going, Heh. Hhh, okay, that's something. Because MS Paint is like, it's been around forever, right? And now someone can, what, take over your computer through Paint? That's wild. That's genuinely wild. I love that these old-school programs still have these kinds of issues. That's your daily byte. Have a great day. Until next time.
