@Kristina Brown ✨🙏thank you 🙏✨

@Tony Tone caregiving is a hard moment in life but sweet as well. I’m really glad that I was able to be there for my mom for all the years that I was. I don’t regret it. What I do regret is that I allowed myself to get burned out and I didn’t ask for help, but I needed it. I ended up waiting until the very last to get help in. Now that I have crossed over to life after caregiving, I look back and I’m seeing all the things that I could’ve done better, which is where I’m trying to help others so that they can avoid the mistakes that I made. I let myself get burned down to a crisp and I’m still recovering seven months later. Life is Precious. Let’s love our loved ones while we can.

Ooooh interesting discussion!! I think a lot of future research will need to be conducted on the consequences of keeping people in a dopamine loop and the impact on their attention span

If you’re a developer you train your AI to ignore it. It eats up your tokens and adds expenses As a user you only pay the subscription fees. Developers pay for every word put into the AI model, by every subscriber. There are entire libraries of words that developers parse out before your request hits the LLM so we aren’t bankrupted at the end of the month by wordy users.

@Nermeen Nasim it’s important to make sure that I point out that this does not affect N8N accounts that are hosted by that company in their cloud server. They automatically do all of the patches for those accounts.

@Grant Leclerc I completely understand your frustration around the timing of this—it feels unsettling when a "Critical 10" is revealed weeks after the fix. You’re absolutely right to call it out. While the industry calls it "coordinated disclosure," the reality for self-hosting builders is that a quiet patch can leave us unknowingly exposed. If we didn't happen to update for a new feature back in November, we were sitting on a major risk without even knowing it. I got caught off guard too. I didn’t have an N8N account in November so I was caught by surprise along with everyone else, but I’m implementing new cybersecurity reviews to keep up with everything. Having looked into the technical record and the "why" behind the disclosure, I wanted to share what I've found to help clear the air: • The Timeline Facts: Cyera Labs reported the flaw (CVE-2026-21858) on November 9, 2025. The n8n team moved quickly, acknowledging it on November 10 and releasing the patch in version 1.121.0 just eight days later. While the patch was live in November, the formal CVE and technical exploit details weren't made public until January 7. • Why the Disclosure Gap? This follows the cybersecurity standard of "Coordinated Disclosure." For those of us self-hosting, a quiet patch means we might skip an update because we don't realize it's a life-saver for our data. It left many of us in a "silent risk" zone for nearly two months. As a result I now follow The Hacker News (THN) the "gold standard" for timely security updates. They were one of the first to break the technical details of the Ni8mare vulnerability. It’s perfect for a daily pulse on what’s happening in the world of RCE and cloud exploits. • Cloud vs. Self-Hosted: It’s definitely a tale of two systems. n8n Cloud users were upgraded automatically in November because n8n manages those servers. For those of us who self-host, we have the benefit of total privacy and control, but the trade-off is that we have to handle our own updates manually.
