Ended up at 41k and 135 pages by the end of it 😭😭😭

When I told my high school teachers that 800 word papers were no sweat I did not mean to imply to the universe that future-me would like to write reports with 30k+ words in them. That's my bad, universe, jfc

Me: Hmm, I taste pennies. Is my mouth bleeding?
@hon1nbo.hackingand.coffee: That would be iron.
Me: It's a figure of speech
Hon1nbo: For someone who's never tasted a penny!

Does everyone not have that particular auto-complete in their head?

I've been up since 4am with my back killing me. 3 more hotel nights until we get home. I figured out how to request a mattress topper in marriots app for the next two hotels 🤞. Santa Rosa NM to Kingman AZ today.

When I'm put on a psychiatric hold (which inevitably I will be with the way this trip is going) the doctor is going to ask me what was my breaking point and I'm going to point him directly at this fucking concrete ass mattress at a Holiday inn on the NM border.

“Disturbing… they had put in a ton of work and gone through every step of the process… they were pulled out of line steps away from swearing an oath to 🇺🇸…”

It was never just about illegal immigration

Credit card fraud Black neon tetras committed credit card fraud during a 2023 livestream by "Mutekimaru Channel" on YouTube. The owner was using motion-tracking software to turn the fish's movements into Nintendo Switch inputs, letting them "play" video games. 8 In 2020, the fish beat Pokemon Sapphire after 3,195 hours, a feat that takes about 30 hours for a typical human. 9/ 181 On January 14, 2023, Pokémon Violet crashed at 1,144 hours, giving the fish free access to the main menu. They entered inputs that opened Nintendo eShop, added 500 yen ($3.85 USD) to their owner's account, and exposed his credit card details on the livestream. 10) 11) Mutekimaru later requested a refund of the 500 yen from Nintendo. l12) "Fish eagerly read the terms and conditions. Many of us humans don't read the terms of service, but fish are smarter than we are" - caption from Mutekimaru in a video about the incident 12) The fish also downloaded an N64 emulator, set up PayPal, used reward points to buy an avatar, and changed Mutekimaru's Nintendo account name to "ROWAWAWA*". 13, After about seven hours, their movements shut down the Switch. 14)

Fish have committed credit card fraud

ElderlyPirate (whoever you are) hmu please so I can kiss you full on the mouth. I might be able to actually pull this hardware attack off (pentest) bc now I can use the AVR STK500 v2 emulator (hopefully, fingers crossed, don't let me down now!)

Bro, I've been struggling to figure out how to update my #buspirate 3.6. So many deprecated tutorials!

Then @hon1nbo.hackingand.coffee (likely on a bid to save my sanity) found the ElderlyPirate Bus_Pirate instructions. Updated, easy to follow, and best of all they actually work (so far).

@hon1nbo.hackingand.coffee feel free to add some good ones

And now one spectacular failure - one time I was stress testing a pool pump on a 16' deep well. The pvc glue failed. Half the well's water was sprayed straight upward at a rate of about 5K GPH all over the entire test floor before the test computer shorted out and it stopped.

I'll go first:
1. I expensed a printer ordered through Uber Eats
2. I got to literally explode things as an intended, necessary function of my job
3. I used liquid nitrogen to prove a client wrong
4. Something I made went to space. It's been a decade so it's burned up now, but it WAS in space

Alright, a conversation with a coworker has spawned this question.

Engineers, hackers, and cyber pros - what are the weirdest things that child-you never expected to be on your career bingo card?

Trying a new sushi place for the first time and the people at the bar next to us were trying to decide whether to have another piece or not. Their dinner partners started chanting "Do it! Do it! Do it!"

I had no idea as an adult there would be fish related peer pressure.

The feeling when your wife is out of town & you're focused on a project, snacking mindlessly, and then you look down & see powdered sugar all over your shirt & you realize...

W/o her you are a hacker cliche.

And also that mountain dew & cheese puffs sound really good right about now. #goblinmode

Tonight's entertainment is the 1981 classic Escape from New York.

During tonight’s Trick-or-Treating, our 3-year-old got more and more excited.

“More houses! More candy!”

Until he suddenly looked to the sky and shouted (verbatim):

“Can I eat the moon!?”

Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t, little one. Be the cosmic horror you want to see in the world.

Proud of the Python Software Foundation for doing the right thing and standing up for their people, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Your cinnamon sugar toast is bougie!

I thought at first this was a new vuln in BusyBox itself, but a perfect 10 on a networked door controller is hilarious. Remotely exploitable, no user interaction or privileges required, low attack complexity - literally a worst nightmare for a hardware designer.

a perfect CVSS 10 😍

Well, I should say it holds up 25% of the way in. I can't remember enough to know how it ends.

I finally understand why ppl reread/rewatch things. I never used to do that, I must be aging. Before, if I even started something & I didn't finish before I started to forget the plot it would basically be dead to me.

Rereading Eyes of the Dragon, which was my first Stephen King. It holds up!
