[...] a publicly accessible ClickHouse database linked to DeepSeek, completely open and unauthenticated, exposing sensitive data. It was hosted at oauth2callback.deepseek.com:9000 and dev.deepseek.com:9000.

This database contained a significant volume of chat history, backend data and sensitive information, including log streams, API Secrets, and operational details.

More critically, the exposure allowed for full database control and potential privilege escalation within the DeepSeek environment, without any authentication or defense mechanism to the outside world.

It seems that the Empire has decided to strike.

fabric, in the simplest sense, is a CLI tool for a curated repository of prompts. It being a CLI tool means you can pipe stdin to it, so you can pass any file to it as input. It also offers some other niceties like a youTube transcription tool so you can use the prompts on youtube videos/podcasts/etc...

fabric has been out for a while but it wasn't very useful without a premium model like chatGPT. Now that deepseek-r1 was unleashed as an open source model, you can use this tool to improve your workflow in a variety of ways.

I've been playing with it using the summarize pattern mostly to read through MSM news articles (for example, some of yogthos posts), it works great and produces a clean markdown file as an output.
