Seriously. I was recently wondering why so many choose tailscale over WireGuard.
26·3 days agoIn 1999+ you could sniff people’s passwords in clear text right out of the air on public WiFi networks.
tcpdump port 110and just watch them roll in.In the late 90’s you could use a floppy disk to boot nt and dump the password hashes of anybody who had logged in, then run them through a dictionary attack which would take a matter of minutes before learning that your company’s top employees used their favorite football team or cartoon character as their password without even appending some numbers to it. Dude with the football password even had the password emblazoned in his office wall.
One time in the 90’s I got to a password prompt and just held enter, and eventually was just let past the password prompt.
In X windows if you managed to kill the screensaver password entry box you were dropped back to the desktop, and people found ways to crash the screensaver by overrunning the password input buffer by pasting input repeatedly using common keyboard shortcuts. (Pretty sure this same exact bug exited in early Mac osx versions.)
8·4 days agoBefore the cloud it was so hard to get a budget for anything, even necessary yearly upgrades. Sometimes I would have to scrap the least important server when a component in a more important one died. Then the cloud came along and suddenly we had so much money to spend! But now it was so hard to track who spent it, what projects it was spent on, and how we could dial it down. SMH. Cloud computing can be so ridiculous.

Reserve time during your week to leave your phone at home, and leave your house for 1-4 hours. Bring a paperback book, oe visit a library and check one out. Go out for coffee and pay with cash. Go to a park with your book and coffee. Maybe bring a sandwich. Promise that you will not leave for an hour even if you start to go crazy.
What’s Up Tiger Lily
Allen took footage from a Japanese spy film, International Secret Police: Key of Keys (1965), and overdubbed it with completely original dialogue that had nothing to do with the plot of the original film. He both put in new scenes and rearranged the order of existing scenes, producing a one-hour movie from the 93 minutes of the original film. He completely changed the tone of the film from a James Bond clone into a comedy about the search for the world’s best egg salad recipe.

Welcome to 2001, when we had 56k at home, and corporate broadband 802.11b networks never had passwords.
Freaking awesome start! I will revisit this when it gets to laser printing.

5·28 days agoI recently heard this great phrase:
“A VM makes an OS believe that it has the machine to itself; a container makes a process believe that it has the OS to itself.”
This would be somewhere between that, where each container could believe it has the OS to itself, but with different kernels.
One big problem with GitHub that is only briefly touched on in the article is that developer teams used to be able to use the feed to get useful updates on what their team was working on. Now, it’s polluted with unrelated AI generated suggestions. So for those of us who use Github as an enterprise application, we previously had a user friendly app that helped us get work done, but we now have a user hostile app that participates in the attention economy, luring us with distractions, which are the opposite of what we should be doing at work. The GitHub feed is now anti-focus, anti-work, algorithmic buzz, and enterprises like my employer still pay for that.
81·1 month agolol, this reminded me of the MS surface parody. “Instead of using one of today’s more popular compact devices to get directions to where you’re going, why not use a device the size of a small car to do the same job?”
Run strace (or falco) and log every file open. When you hear the sound, reference the log of what files were accessed at that time.
Run tcpdump and capture all traffic. Analyze it in wireshark, searching for a time window around when the sounds happened.
FWIW putting pranks like this in cron or systemd is a common way to haze people who have bad security practices. We also used to set the default run level to 3 or 6, but of course that doesn’t make sense in the era of systemd.
Imagine if vendors like Anbernic started shipping devices that had phone hardware supported with open software. That would be so rad. They already run android and Linux and have a vibrant community.
I recently made a sunrise simulator and it’s been so much better than a straight fade to bright. Highly recommended to find or make something like that.
