AN AUTISTIC URBAN HERMIT
(you may not understand if you are not autistic)
@autistics
@autism101
For many years, I've been a very curious person. I've learned many things and done many things that I found interesting: science, art, computer science. Like a voracious animal, my mind has consumed all kinds of information, eager to understand everything around me and everything I experienced. Soldier, doctor, monk, musician, hacker, etc. Until one day, staring at the ceiling in the bed of a psychiatric hospital where I was hospitalized, I asked myself: "How did I get here, to this?" And that night, 17 years ago, another part of my life began. I began to die and be reborn, to discover how and why I had gotten to that situation. I discovered that I have high abilities, that I am bipolar and autistic. But for every limitation I discovered, I also discovered the limitations of the world and the human society in which I live.
Today I know that nothing has meaning and that life doesn't need to have it; that what many see as progress and evolution, I see as barbarism and brutality, and that humanity is the stupidest species on the planet, not the best. I don't have goals anymore, I don't need them. But I do have a compass, a kind of direction without needing to get anywhere. To live as peacefully as possible and need very little, being aware and critical of everything. A peaceful dwelling isn't just my house tucked away in the middle of the city, but also a peaceful inner life, without the noise and clamor of the lives of "normal people," without socializing more than the bare minimum necessary for survival. And this isn't because of autism; it's because of a kind of purge, a psycho-spiritual hygiene. The forced social being I often was is dying. Until a few years ago, there wasn't so much exposure and socialization; it wasn't mandatory or essential to living and working in this world. With all the technology and supposed progress, there is increasing misery, hunger, war, and violence everywhere, which makes me think that it's more of a trigger than a solution.
Being overly intelligent and being autistic is a fatal combination that guarantees the death of the social being and the development of the inner hermit that every gifted autistic person potentially is. I'm slowly retreating from the world to my quiet inner abode, where a very narrow door filters who enters and who doesn't. Just my small family group and a minimum of kindness toward a few people is more than enough.
I thought a lot about sharing what I'd learned, about helping, but I realized that idealism and the romanticization of compassion are useless when the sufferer doesn't understand the root of their problems and isn't willing to do their part. Human nature is to be a soulless son of a bitch, held back only by fear of punishment, whether from human law itself or some imagined deity. It's better to live in full awareness of the suchness of things. I myself can be a compassionate genius and in the next moment break your head for being rude and treating me badly.
We live in the worst of all possible worlds, and with that, we are warned that the worst can always happen. Knowing that, any good thing that comes or appears is a gift, a bonus track.
I don't give unsolicited advice, but if you want some, it's this: "Step away from the world as it is and watch it burn from a distance."

🚨 CVE-2026-45185 (Dead.Letter)
Exim before 4.99.3, in certain GnuTLS configurations, has a remotely reachable use-after-free in the BDAT body parsing path. It is triggered when a client sends a TLS close_notify mid-body during a CHUNKING transfer, followed by a final cleartext byte on the same TCP connection. This can lead to heap corruption. An unauthenticated network attacker exploiting this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2026-45185 (Dead.Letter)
A question about meditation with an ADHD mind. I've meditated, on and off, for several years now. For years I tried to sit staring at the wall, following Zen Buddhist tradition. While I don't have a problem with the actual sitting, the restless monkey of a mind has been a struggle. I've finally understood it's easier for me to concentrate on the moment when there's a constant change in visual input. The best so far is looking at ground while walking.
The part I'm struggling the most with is noticing the current thought and letting it go. For me, it's a sudden shift in perception: I don't usually notice the current thought but instead remember now, which then pushes the previous thought away like a flick of a switch. I might even forget the previous though. Any thoughts or tips regarding this?
Hay un grupo de poetas occidentales a quienes les reservo el muy licencioso título de bodhisattvas de la poesía. En ese grupo está Fernando Pessoa.

Mi mirada es nítida como un girasol.
Tengo la costumbre de andar por los caminos
mirando a la derecha y a la izquierda
y de vez en cuando mirando para atrás…
Y lo que veo a cada instante
es lo que nunca había visto antes,
y me doy buena cuenta de ello.
Sé sentir el asombro esencial
que tiene un niño si, al nacer,
de veras reparase en que nacía…
Me siento nacido a cada instante
a la eterna novedad del mundo…
Creo en el mundo como en una margarita,
porque lo veo. Pero no pienso en él,
porque pensar es no comprender…
El Mundo no se ha hecho para pensar en él
(pensar es estar enfermo de los ojos),
sino para mirarlo y estar de acuerdo…
Yo no tengo filosofía: tengo sentidos…
Si hablo de la Naturaleza no es porque sepa lo que es,
sino porque la amo, y la amo por eso,
porque quien ama nunca sabe lo que ama,
ni sabe por qué ama, ni qué es amar…
Amar es la eterna inocencia,
y la única inocencia es no pensar…

🚨 CVE-2026-41651 (Pack2TheRoot)
PackageKit vulnerable to TOCTOU Race on Transaction Flags leads to arbitrary package installation as root
PackageKit is a a D-Bus abstraction layer that allows the user to manage packages in a secure way using a cross-distro, cross-architecture API. PackageKit between and including versions 1.0.2 and 1.3.4 is vulnerable to a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition on transaction flags that allows unprivileged users to install packages as root and thus leads to a local privilege escalation. This is patched in version 1.3.5.

I prefer my “third place” to be a state of giggles or zen mindfulness on a weekday afternoon.

Buddha is Sanskrit for what you call aware, miraculously aware. Responding, perceiving, arching your brows, blinking your eyes, moving your hands and feet, it’s all your miraculously aware nature. And this nature is the mind. And the mind is the buddha. And the buddha is the path. And the path is zen.
~Bodhidharma, "The Bloodstream Sermon"

🚨 CVE-2025-11953 (Metro4Shell)
React Native Community CLI OS Command Injection Vulnerability
The Metro Development Server, which is opened by the React Native Community CLI, binds to external interfaces by default. The server exposes an endpoint that is vulnerable to OS command injection. This allows unauthenticated network attackers to send a POST request to the server and run arbitrary executables. On Windows, the attackers can also execute arbitrary shell commands with fully controlled arguments.

Zazen consiste en observar nuestra mente, los pensamientos que vienen y van. Cuando logramos observarlos nuestra conciencia retorna a la postura, al cuerpo, a la respiración, al silencio corporal.
