screenshot of text: Triple-Base64 Encoding All exfiltrated data is encoded through three layers of base64 before upload: content → base64 → base64 → base64 This serves multiple anti-forensic purposes: Evades GitHub's built-in secret scanning Bypasses third-party secret detection tools Makes casual browsing of repository contents ineffective Complicates forensic analysis of stolen data

computer knowers: *groan*

Yes, it has never been easier to make a web scraper and yes most websites still cannot handle this, but as the thirst for more data continues, this lawsuit is going to be one to watch

I’ve seen so many posts saying “make a scraper, you can earn so much cash..” in recent times and whooah boy

And on the seventh day…

Aah thank you.

this one just made me think of Ernst Haas' work with colour. It's nowhere near his level but I tried

for those who care, Leica MP anthracite, 35mm Summicron ASPH, most were 1/15th

Finally got my Kodak Vision3 motion picture film scans back of Thailand. Low light, playing with colour and I'm super happy with these.

Really sums up the vibe that is Silom, BKK and I do miss my old home
