For many, many years, I travelled to Las Vegas and #DEFCON with a Traktor controller in a large hard shell flight case, a full size laptop, and my studio headphones.

It became a massive burden year after year. Last year, when I decided to make a come back to […]

If you want a good laugh, run `hostnamectl `on your Cloud based Ubuntu Linux system or `sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date` on other Linux bistros and look at the firmware age..

I'm finding some absolutely horrifying number of years since updates.

Anyone recommend a good way to introduce a 9yo to D&D, with a parent who's never DMed and hasn't played DnD since 15 years ago.

And what happened? One of the two systems renamed all its network interfaces and broke.

I also got sick at the same time and had no mental power to fix the issue for three days.

YOLO Admin! https://defcon.social/@mauvehed/114654025109770003

Running major version OS updates on two servers at the same time and then leaving home to run to an appointment.

What's the worst that could happen?

Was working with an AI on some code when I got rather frustrated that it didn't seem to understand the code itself. It was talking absolutely crazy like, explaining things that made no sense.

The human opened the wrong project and was confused what the codebase was.

PEBKAC!

When a Space Becomes a Folder: Debugging a Weird rsnapshot Glitch While maintaining backups across several Linux hosts using rsnapshot, I ran into a deceptively simple but confusing issue: some directories from a remote host were being backed up into a folder literally named ' ' (a single space character). It looke...

Rant into an interesting issue while using rsnapshot for backups.

Such a silly thing that spaces are..

25 years of Attrition shenanigans. Hard to believe. They pioneered some early hacker culture and services that we take for granted even today.

I am proud to call myself Attrition Staff and to call this bunch of asswads, my friends.

Goon ready #Meshtastic coms for DEF CON 33!

It's always annoying when you're developing a Discord bot and you can't remember WHERE it's running from.

Is it on this desktop? Nope. This VPS? Nope. This deployment host? Nope.

I legit can't find it...

Was working with GitLeaks this morning, when it failed to find over 20 secrets in a git repo.

INDEXER_PASSWORD=SecretPassword

INDEXER_PASSWORD=SecretPassword

API_PASSWORD=MyS3cr37P450r.*-

DASHBOARD_PASSWORD=kibanaserver

That is EXTREMELY […]
