Top shelf? Disrupted my circadian rhythm

There is no such thing as easy or hard.

Give it a try, fuck it up, and give it a try again. Try not to fuck it up in the same way as the first time. Repeat until it works - it will work eventually.

It took me about 6 hours and 3 disk re-formats my first time. I was particularly bad at it. I barely knew what a disk was, nevermind a partition.

Actually I’m still not sure what a partition is.

You’ll do fine :)

Gonna bring the after-school satan club to the entire state :)

I strongly recommend the NAT loopback route over attempting split-horizon dns.

It really depends on the parameters of the thought experiment.

If everyone suddenly received a lot of money, there would be a wild period of adjustment before we figure out the pricing system again and life continues as normal. Even though there’s a lot more money, there is not magically more TVs to buy. Nor would we all start building tv factories - there’s not magically more copper or concrete to buy either.

If we all got more money and buried it in our yards and swore never to use it, then nothing has changed. For the sake of the thought experiment, someone would break the promise (I would - I want air conditioning), and then everyone else would break it too, and we end up in the previous situation.

If everyone were suddenly truly wealthy - as in stuff / things - some might think we would chill out and coast for a while. But having satisfied our big needs ( I am not being hunted by tigers) and our medium needs (Air conditioning, yay!), I imagine humanity would just keep working - there are always more problems to solve / there is always more work to do.

I think it’s a D-tier article. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was half gpt. It could have been summarized in a single paragraph, but was clearly being drawn out to make screen real-estate for the ads.

Arch-packaging-haskell moment

Is it the little toe and the outside half of the second toe? That sounds like exactly what I have on my fingers - cubital tunnel syndrome, from keeping my elbow bent too often. Are you a side sleeper?

I have karhu fusions and I love them. I wouldn’t be able to hand elastic laces, they can’t get tight enough for me, and if they did they would stretch out within a week.

If youtube manages to stop fast forwarding, maybe at the very least we could auto-mute, and maybe overlay photos of puppies or something

Drink hella water, wear less clothes. That’s about all you can do :(

My apologies, allow me to elaborate - grayhatwarfare.com is a cybersecurity company that crawls and indexes publicly-available blob stores, like s3 buckets, azure storage accounts, digital ocean spaces, and google cloud object stores. They offer limited search capabilities for free, no account-wall.

They are a legitimate cybersecurity company, despite their name.

My employer is working on a sensitive data scanning service, to alert clients in case their information surfaces in these buckets (even if they do not own the bucket), leveraging the grayhatwarfare api. In short, allowing us to detect and remediate the problem, which I hope you will agree is a white-hat activity :)

I do not publicly condone breaking the law. I reserve the right to criticize the DMCA tho ;)

And if google dorks aren’t interesting enough, because google does not index enough public buckets for you, then we get to learn about gray hat warfare too :)

That sounds like a blast! And a great way to explore. You’ve definitely earned some recovery

I’m happy to revisit and explain, but I don’t have much time to type right now - the wikipedia page for estonia has great info; you will need a basic understanding of cryptographic hashing and merkle trees

I pay attention to credit card readers.

I have gotten to know their makes and some models. I have developed preferences. When I go to a run down establishment and they have a nice reader, I am pleasantly surprised. I know that walmart uses ingenico isc250s, and they do not support tap. I know that dunkin has high quality readers, and sometimes tim hortons does too, but less frequently.

When leaving a place, I might say something like “damn, you don’t see that model of verifone very often”, and my friends will look at me funny.

Semi-related, did you know that most receipt printers have embedded telnet servers in them?

At what point does a collection of microservices become a monolith that uses http instead of a bus 🤔

Those things are awesome. They weigh next to nothing, the small ones have 60 inhales in them, and a single hit is night and day when running at high altitude. A buddy didn’t have time to acclimate before a race, so we got him one as a joke, and it unironically helped him a lot

As “down”, I hereby grant maculata retroactive permission to make the above joke; and formally proclaim that I found said joke to be at least somewhat amusing

This is cyberpunk as hell, and awesome.

Unfortunately apple does not expose mac addresses to apps, so iPhone users can’t do it :(
