‼️ WordPress sites can be attacked even while installing a fix for an actively exploited flaw, a researcher warns.
The update still uses vulnerable code, leaving a brief window for attackers to execute PHP code on the server.
Here's what site owners need to do before updating → thehackernews.com/2026/11/in…

New ECMWF data shows the *strongest subtropical jet stream* in its forecast history blowing across the Pacific and U.S. this winter into next spring, with record-strength winds predicted from California to Florida.
There's even a connection to Europe.
El Niño fuels more thunderstorms near the equator, which release heat high into the atmosphere.
That extra warmth strengthens the Hadley circulation and steepens the temperature gradient between the tropics and the mid-latitudes, which strengthens the subtropical jet.
And that's why such a stormy winter is anticipated across the western, southern and eastern United States.

Windows 11 PCs can now be hacked through Microsoft Paint.
an 8.1/10 vulnerability in the image editor allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute malicious code remotely.
Microsoft has released a fix, but don’t assume it already reached your PC.
Paint 11.2609.401.0 and newer is patched.
if yours is older, update it through the Microsoft Store before opening Paint again.
yes, Paint.

How Does Hope Survive in a World Like This? 🩷
I've been struggling with something lately.
The hatred. The division. The threats of violence. The way some people have become so comfortable wishing harm, suffering, and even death upon those they disagree with.
It breaks my heart.
I have strong political convictions. There are plenty of people I disagree with, sometimes profoundly. But never in my life have I believed that someone deserved to die because of their political beliefs.
When did we become so comfortable forgetting that the people on the other side of an argument are human beings?
I've witnessed enough suffering in my lifetime to know that violence and death are not political slogans. They are real. They leave behind grieving families, shattered lives, and wounds that can last a lifetime.
Before an election, I once asked my son a question that came from a very painful place:
"Will we ever feel what hope felt like again?"
Today, I find myself thinking about that question.
How does hope survive in a world like this?
Maybe hope survives because there are still people who refuse to accept cruelty as normal.
People who stop to help a stranger. People who care for their neighbors. People who choose compassion when anger would be easier. People who can disagree without hatred.
Hope doesn't require us to pretend that everything is okay. It doesn't require us to ignore the ugliness or excuse the things that are deeply wrong.
It asks us to believe that tomorrow is not already decided.
That people can change. That kindness still matters. That we can demand better from ourselves and from one another.
We don't have to agree to care about each other. We don't have to share political beliefs to recognize the value of a human life.
And we should never become so comfortable with cruelty that we stop recognizing it for what it is.
I don't have all the answers. Tonight, my heart is heavy.
But I refuse to believe that hatred gets the final word.
Hope doesn't survive because the world is always good. Hope survives because, even when the world is at its worst, there are still people who choose to do good.
And I intend to keep looking for those people, celebrating them, and doing my best to be one of them.
Because hope is still worth holding on to.
Good night 🩷

🚨 BREAKING: A flaw in APT, the tool that installs software on Debian Linux, lets an attacker on the network tamper with a package after it passes verification and run code as root.
The bug, CVE-2026-109518, sits in resumed HTTP downloads. APT can merge two different downloads when a redirect gives them the same address, and a man-in-the-middle can then alter the file after its check.
Debian fixed it in apt 3.0.4, shipped to Debian 13 security updates on 4 November. Users should upgrade now.
Per Debian's changelog, the fix is four words long. "Open target files exclusively."

🌲 A LITTLE MOUNTAIN WEATHER OBSERVATION
One of the things I love most about having our own weather station is seeing what actually happens right here at 5,030 feet.
This morning, our gauge has already registered 0.01 inches of rain, even as the broader forecast calls for sunshine.
Small observations like these help us better understand our mountain's changing conditions.
🚗 TRAVELING THE GRAPEVINE?
Remember that weather and road conditions can be different between Frazier Park, Lebec, Gorman, and the higher elevations.

Every morning brings another opportunity to observe, compare, and learn.
Forecasts tell us what could happen. Observations tell us what did happen.
🌲 There is always something to discover, if we never stop looking.
Wishing everyone a beautiful Wednesday from Frazier Mountain! 🩷
