one of the annoying things about having ADHD and being a reverse engineer is that "take this thing apart, take pictures, put it back together, post pictures" is not a task: it's four separate tasks, and it's entirely possible to run out of motivation after completing one or three of them
@godotengine @nixCraft Now all you need is to drop gdwlroots onto it to make it an actual functional desktop environment 😄️

Cryptocurrency people are so funny. Recently someone with deep pockets spent six-figures embedding 9MB of encrypted data into the BTC blockchain.
I read a write-up about it one some website dedicated to cryptocurrency, and the author was especially impressed with the fact that encrypted data cannot be decrypted without a key. He noted that "not even ChatGPT could decrypt it".
Of course Cryptocurrency people don't understand cryptography... That's why they buy pretend internet money.
@pecet@pol.social Na PC: pierwszy kontakt to też któryś Knoppix, ale chyba tylko bootowany z płyty. Potem po kolei: Mandrake 10.1, Mandriva 2006, Ubuntu 6.06, Debian sid, Arch.
Na telefonie: OpenMoko 2007.2, SHR, Maemo 5, PureOS 9.
Na serwerach: zawsze i tylko Debian 🤪️
@b0rk #1 doesn't make any sense and easily falls apart at edge cases, if you think this way you'll sooner or later make yourself confused; #2 can be useful when reasoning or talking about repo topology as a kind of mental shortcut (and actually applies to any commit, not just those pointed to by branches); #3 is the truth.
@foone Designed for single density, but can be pushed to double density under right conditions
@williamtries @LeoDJ @techbeard @dylanvanassche 15W is enough for that

A short look back at what happened around #phosh in 2023:
@panic @colingourlay It's an interesting hardware that I'd definitely spend time making fun games for, as that's just what I do with other platforms. I've been eyeing this one since the very beginning, it could be neat for game jams. However, this platform lacks an essential feature - that feature being "an acceptable license". Life is simply too short to waste on proprietary platforms, for many reasons - both philosophical and practical.
@panic @colingourlay For starters, not making the platform essentially dead when the rights owner goes down would be nice. Nobody else can host a copy of the SDK.
Then, not having to require my users to use non-free software in order to modify, compile and deploy my projects would be appreciated as well.
Last but not least, all software is buggy and SDKs are not an exception. When I stumble upon a bug in it, I should be able to inspect it, debug, fix and share the fix with others.
@panic @colingourlay So yup, it's sadly still non-free: non-redistributable, non-modifiable and prohibiting development of other SDKs.
@colingourlay @panic Is their SDK still on a weird non-free license?
@hrw @haeckerfelix You can't fight the Bunny. You must embrace the Bunny.

Okay, listen up:
Mozilla is two different entities. The Mozilla Corporation and the Mozilla Foundation. The second one? That's the social good one you really want focused on important things.
The Mozilla Foundation, like all non-profits, publishes their Form 990 annually to disclose compensation. Here it is.
You'll see that the top earner there, Mitchell Baker, who is very handsomely rewarded, is actually paid by the Mozilla Corporation, not the Foundation. Put another way, the non-profit is not blowing its funding on a CEO.
And the corp, by the way, is what generates revenue that largely funds Firefox.
The annual report of the Foundation shows a pretty healthy financial situation, and increased investment in public good projects year-over-year.
I don't like everything they do either (e.g. that risible website generator), but I don't actually think they are suffering from a lack of focus. They're suffering from a mature market.

The sucky thing about working in infosec is that you can't talk about most of the wildest, coolest projects you end up getting pulled into. It's paid work done under NDAs.
The train research done by @redford, @q3k, and @mrtick is a prime example of something that usually wouldn't see the light of day - and I'm really happy that they were able to buck the trend:

At #37c3 they have IRC, and Matrix for text and for voice they setup their own LTE/2G/3G/SIP/DECT network where you bring whatever phone-like device and pick a 4 digit phone number.
Meanwhile in the USA for #defcon they just paid Discord money and told everyone to accept their privacy policy, and even the DC Privacy Village asks people to sign up for Slack and Google.
People ask why I fly to CCC from the USA. It is because that is the closest place to find a thriving hacker culture.
