Got a tattoo of the windows mouse cursor so that I can sit like this on Teams calls in the hope that someone frantically tries to move it.

A friend just pointed out elsewhere that not only will #TurnerClassicMovies be showing the 1944 film "Gaslight" during tonight's State of the Union address, but their whole lineup today has a lot to read into. https://www.tcm.com/schedule

If you make homophobic jokes about bad people, you're still engaging in homophobia and the vulnerable folks around you will remember that.

I was recently reminded of this.

A couple decades ago, I wrote a short paper that described how the basic approaches of cryptography and computer security lead to an efficient and practical privilege escalation attack against master-keyed mechanical lock, which I published in IEEE Security and Privacy (a nerdy computing technical journal).

TL;dr: Master-keyed locks have fundamental, exploitable weaknesses.

But I wasn't ready for what happened next.

New server, new intro toot!

Hin I'm Rob Vincent, also known as Rob T Firefly. I'm a hacker, artist, writer, performer, activist, engineer, comedian, and general-purpose nerd. I've been using Fedi since 2018. I'm part of the @2600 radio show @OffTheHook on #WBAI FM, and https://modern.technology is where I make original podcasts with my epic wife @gilahava704.

My forever home is https://RobVincent.net which is where I keep some grievously-outdated portfolios and a very dusty blog.

Hooray!
