The eMudhra intermediate CA compromise broadly impacts the atproto ecosystem. At this point lots of software has been patched, and we recommend upgrading if you run a distribution of the relay, pds, jetstream, or use the goat CLI.

Laith al-Khazali being named Iraq’s deputy prime minister immediately after the final US withdrawal feels like a grimly symbolic representation of who really won the war. In 2007, while advised and supplied by the Quds Force and Lebanese Hezbollah, Laith famously was captured by JSOC and proved…
