Bit-breaker working in cybersecurity/IT. Only languages I know are English and Programming ones.

Sometimes I write things about technology.

If I told you the SHA256 for this sentence starts with 'c, 5, four, a, and a', would you believe me?

  • MAGA demands murder charges for ICE victim's wife

    Jump

  • So Trump Gestapo kills a person in cold blood, and it's somehow the Governor and Mayor's fault that it happened? How the hell does that make any sense?!

  • Trump admin reportedly considers paying each Greenland resident up to $100K amid US takeover talks

  • But the US can't won't fund schools or healthcare or ensure our own Americans are fed.

    Yep, truly America first.

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • New year! Let us make this chapter better written than the last one. Having a pretty good week, still working a bit but had some really good time with family and friends lately. Upswing here I come! Have to focus on how far I've traveled up the mountain, now how much more I still have to go.

  • Unshaken - Red Dead Redemption 2

    Jump

  • Love this soundtrack. Daniel Lanois did some great work as did the rest of the musicians.

  • Has anyone else switched to a dumbphone?

    Jump

  • I did. I have an s22 flip. Not fully "dumb", it runs android mobile. But so lacking on resources it is basically a dumb phone, with Spotify and maps. Fits my use case fine and much less distractions and constant gamifiyijng. I Miss NFC payments the most and my banking app won't even run on it, but it does the job of being a communications device just fine.

  • What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?

    Jump

  • A couple I use (concept of not exact), that I haven't seen in the thread yet:

    Using grep as diff: grep -Fxnvf orig.file copy.file

    Using xargs -

    xargs reads items from the standard input, delimited by blanks (which can be protected with double or single quotes or a backslash) or newlines, and executes the command (default is /bin/echo) one or more times with any initial-arguments followed by items read from standard input.

    EG: $ find ~/Pictures -name "*.png" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 tar -cvzf images.tar.gz

  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

    Jump

  • +1 for Librewolf. Works just as I expect it to without getting in the way. The way Firefox used to be.

  • Removed

    Nanogram: Private Small Scale Self Hosted Social Media

    Jump

  • This is fun side project I made for myself.

    Contradicts:

    Spin up your own instance on termux for Android.

    It's great if its for yourself, or learning something new to you. Releasing it like this and telling others to install software you didn't even write is a security nightmare and disingenuous. Nowhere in your readme or any other repo files, does it specify that YOU don't code, and this product is all due to AI and LLMs.

  • "I expect every member of the Department to log in, learn it, and incorporate it into your workflows immediately. Al should be in your battle rhythm every single day" says Pete Hegseth

    Jump

  • Found my next prompt injection target.

  • What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?

    Jump

  • Conventions I have are:

    • Downloads folder is ephemeral, don't store/keep things in there I might want
    • ~/scripts - personal scripts and one offs
    • ~/Documents/projects/[subdir] - any tech project I may be working on, gets homed here
    • /tmp - always mount it noexec

    I also start off allocating ~ 50GB to / (root) volumegroup. Wine and proton have been taking up nearly the full space though, may need to expand it on my desktop soon.

  • White House unveils ‘media bias’ tracker

    Jump

  • About as trustworthy as a pedo in a daycare.

  • Gun nuts of the fediverse. Do any guns use two magazines at once?

    Jump

  • Note, the designation is MP40/I not 1 :P May help your research.

  • Gun nuts of the fediverse. Do any guns use two magazines at once?

    Jump

  • It's not really worth it. A lot more complexity for the trigger and firing mechanisms, barrel alignment; etc. Weight is also a concern with any carry weapon. There were a couple of weapons in history that tried a dual mag setup

    MP40IThe BurtonAF2011 (More double barrel but does fire simultaneously)

    There's also the DIY jungle style

    coupled magazines, refers to detachable box magazines, and thereof, that are fixed together side by side, for example, with tape, or purpose made magazine clamps, also called magazine couplers. The spare magazine may be pointing downwards in relation to the one fitted to the weapon, as to keep the feeding lips clear for insertion into the weapon.

    In general these days, belt fed weapons are used for more capacity where needed.

  • Putin: Trump's New Peace Plan May Become Foundation of Ukrainian Conflict's Resolution

    Jump

  • That isn't a peace plan it's a surrender.

  • What's a flower you really like?

    Jump

  • Sunflowers are my favorite flower. Pretty and edible seeds :P

  • Trump pardons former Tennessee House speaker convicted of federal public corruption charges

    Jump

  • Par for his course.

  • Republicans file lawsuit challenging California’s redistricting measure

    Jump

  • They don't respect the courts rulings anyway, so what's the point?
