You can use \ to escape formatting.
As in: "Actually out there"
The hypothetical Alpine exists, yes, but what runs that like that?
Edit: Sure, a small minority presumably run sshd under these conditions. But a small minority times the number of Alpine containers still gets to a large absolute number with a trivial exploit. It's bad.
Edit 2: You really don't need to look very hard to find public container examples at million-download scale.
I'm guessing in practice relatively few people are actually exposed. But if they are, it's catastrophic.
"tl;dr" was a bit of a downgrade though, but that's fine
it's a nice way to promote the company behind it

> so musl (the libc under alpine) goes ok fine, crypt() just won't return NULL anymore. if it fails, it returns a single character instead.
Considering it's been accepted that crashing if malloc returns a NULL is your fault, did musl really feel the need to accommodate bad implementations like this or is this just AI dribble?
I don't know about this specific case but in general? Yes, totally. No one is going to fix all existing software that depends on libs behaving exactly as glibc, you have to accept some trade-offs. Either your new implementation stops being perfectly simple and clean, or no one uses it.

Also, what's with this damn trend of typing in lowercase only? Why is this a thing?

Still a cool finding... it's just the communication is becoming a lot worse these days - I want to understand the findings please, not be impressed by your webpage! Biggest gripe in recent memory is https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/skitter-creek-bath-salts
Anticapitalism.
Edit: It seems to work fine on mobile. I'm not sure why the scrolling behaviour was added on the desktop version of the site
I think for any one of those bugs there might simply be half a dozen footguns or bugs that once it's spelled out you wonder how anyone let it slide.
I think that's the case where LLMs might indentify most.
It's challenging though as the current AI audits produce so many false positives it's hard to know when it's being pedantic or when it's genuinely caught a human being a bone head
Am I doing anything wrong here?
OpenSSH_10.3p1, OpenSSL 3.5.9 29 Sep 2026
PRETTY_NAME="Alpine Linux v3.24"
Can we have a “don’t treat me like five/toddler” / “idgaf about the explanation” quick link to a section for adults who need to patch systems?
(And if your reaction is “just scroll down, stupid”, I’m happy to report that with the scroll jacking, I scroll not enough / past the critical sections nine out of ten times.)
Its not asking for trouble, it is there will be trouble, not if but when.
Possibly public SFTP servers. I have allowed null passwords in the past for anonymous public SFTP and I run Alpine Linux exclusively for my servers both VM's and physical. The shadow package (PAM) did not get installed by default. I installed it but I had to specify it in the installation.
I will activate one for people to play around with:
