🚩Crypto Cyber Police

@zachxbt @jerallaire 🚩 Zach, the Nancy Guthrie kidnapper needs to be found and I think you can help. They left a bitcoin address in the ransom note. Contact the police or FBI asap and see if you can track it. I felt a strong pull to reach out to you on this knowing you could save a real life.

Shoutout to Circle co-founder @jerallaire for the exit liquidity.

1/2 In June 2024 a victim was brutally robbed for $4.3M+ of crypto assets at gunpoint via home invasion in the UK after the attackers posed as delivery drivers. I am proud to share that Faris & his two other accomplices were just sentenced and nearly the full amount of stolen funds was seized by MET Police. I previously published my investigation identifying Faris and worked closely with the victim to communicate all findings to law enforcement. Due to minor protection laws certain details about the case remain sealed. Court: Sheffield Crown Court Case reference number: 01GD1223024

Update: Metropolitan Police posted a video of the perpetrators involved in the $4.3M UK robbery yesterday

@Aeronizor @verycoldworld @s626ch @JakeLandauTO Don’t do this. Hamachi will allow you to be on the same local network by design which is dangerous because people can just hack you much easier :)

@verycoldworld @s626ch @JakeLandauTO I still use it today bc LAN worlds on same network arent always reliable to connect to (for some reason) so if it doesnt show up as a LAN world they just connect through hamachi, just for convenience Briefly used it for CloneHero b4 they had servers for multiplayer

the children donʻt know that the minecraft server software is free

@karenmcgrane @timhwang This is the craziest PDF I’ve ever seen. This is an insane amount of work for a single logo. Wow. My eyes have been opened to logo making now.

@timhwang Pepsi logo redesign by Arnell goldennumber.net/wp-content/upl…

What is the greatest, rarest PDF that you have saved down?

@Necati_Coskun_ @davepl1968 look why they’ve done with your Task Manager! Truly incredible.

This is essentially how Chrome treats your task manager

@visegrad24 One article notes the two cable cut locations are within 10m of each other. How have they not sent ships or subs with sonar there to investigate? After the first time?!

BREAKING: Another submarine telecom cable has been cut in the Baltic Sea. This time it’s a cable between Sweden and Lithuania. Yesterday, the news broke that a cable between Finland and Germany had been cut.

@Vaishnavii_N @DiscordThreats It’s called a zip bomb and has been around for decades at this point lol

@DiscordThreats i learned about this the other day and couldn't stop laughing. like you can actually make a gzip file that's 5kb compressed and when you extract it BOOOOM 10 tb. so funny😭

@Jam2go Hope you see this and like this tweet so I know you saw it. I found this one was from 17 years ago!! m.youtube.com/watch?v=05TN-4…

Anyone else have "My graphics card is dying" clips like this? I'm building a collection for reference.

@MarkSchrammVR Where is the NFC reader hiding? Was it hard to write the custom emulator?

Built a NFC based retro game station for my daughter and I. PC for CRT shader emulation, Retroarch to run the cores and custom software to load the roms. I really love the physicality of having cartridges and making this has been great fun. All files on my other socials.

@nutlope I actually feel like this is the first “list” of numbered items on a tweet that was written from the heart and not by AI that I’ve seen in like over a year. It’s refreshing. Keep up the good work lol

My AI side projects this year: ◆ llamacoder.io: 338k users ◆ usenotesgpt.com: 75k users ◆ blinkshot.io: 70k users ◆ llamatutor.com: 67k users Here's exactly how I approach building AI side projects in 7 steps: 1. Think of an idea that excites you but that is very simple. You should be able to describe it in 5 words to anyone. 2. Make sure the UI looks good and is straightforward to use. Nobody will use your project if it doesn't look great, so I focus a lot of time on this aspect. 3. Keep the app extremely simple. All my apps above have 1 single API call to an AI model – that's it. 4. Try to incorporate the latest AI models so the end result is especially impressive (even though it's trivial with code, like 1 API call to an AI model). 5. Launch early then iterate based on feedback from users. The benefit of launching early is that you can pivot or work on a new idea if what you launched isn't working out so you don't sink too much time into a failed project. 6. Make it free + open source so folks can learn from it and are incentivized to share it and follow you. I gained about thousands of Twitter followers and 6k GitHub stars from the 4 projects above. 7. Keep shipping. A lot of my AI apps don't do well and I usually don't have a good sense of when they will do well vs not. Scope down the work and keep shipping. I do want to call out that I do have a large twitter audience and that helps a lot. With that said, I've seen folks without any followers have successful side projects by doing the things I talked about, so I still stand by them!

@michael_kove @Dima_heyqq It’s very easy to use regex to check an email address for more than one period in it. Or a single + sign. Those are the only two characters in at least gmail where you can have those emails all route to the same “main” email.

I disallow "+" in email address if they have @ gmail but they can just do "." gymnastics as well: user@ gmail. com use.r@ gmail. com us.er@ gmail. com u.s.e.r@ gmail. com us.e.r@ gmail. com Are all same email addresses (Google doesn't care about dots) But if your free tier is expensive... just ask for a Credit Card to register for "ID Verify".

What do you do with people visibly abusing your free tier?

@TVAnews Hit up the @TheOceanCleanup project and maybe they can bring something to help you clean it all up.

Heavy rainfall and flooding have left a lot of debris in Douglas Lake. To manage this issue, we are installing a one-mile-wide boom near Dandridge, Tennessee, to capture floating and submerged debris in the water. This work will contain the debris until we can work with our partners to remove it from the lake.

Today, my PC was nearly compromised. With just one click, I installed a malicious @code extension. Luckily, I was saved as my PC doesn't run on Windows. Hackers are getting smarter and aren't just targeting beginners. Here's how they do it and how you can protect your coins!

@ApexCreditor @SwiftOnSecurity What a poor name for this software. I’ll never remember it.

@SwiftOnSecurity github.com/FoxIO-LLC/ja4 Check this out. Network fingerprinting let's you detect some really wild shit. Can even geo-locate to a degree, regardless of VPN based on latency analysis.

Anyone have anonymous stories about foreign fake employee WfH/VPN fraud and how it was detected?

@arzafran @levelsio @darkroomdevs Still trying to wrap my head around Deso and how you made the graphics take you onto a 3D journey. Mind blowing.

@datcyberguy @levelsio @darkroomdevs thanks for the nice words, but nah i'm not big enough to be on his radar like that. i shared the links and heard nothing back.. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone who makes very cool modern 3d beautiful landing pages? Like with glowing 3d shapes and neon glows and cyberpunk stuff?

@arzafran @levelsio @darkroomdevs I mean it just seems scripted between the two of you. Why would he keep asking for more examples of more websites and not say why? The first 3 you linked are excellent.

@datcyberguy @levelsio @darkroomdevs wdym an ad? i'm just proud of the stuff our team has built :) everything is an ad if you think about it hard enough

@arzafran @levelsio @darkroomdevs Dude these are next level. I know this post is an ad for you but it’s well deserved nonetheless

@levelsio it's us, @darkroomdevs, some examples: deso.com zkpass.org orderful.com

@albfresco @gdb @nvidia Data centers do not have windows

@gdb @nvidia there's a freaking Tonal gym on the wall in the datacenter. face it, whoever you are, you aren't going to beat these guys

@malisauskasLT Bookmarked. But I’m curious: How well do these work with Wordpress? Do you have to blow away the Wordpress aspect of a site to use these via the backend files?

People were paying me from $3K to $10K to build their website. In some cases it took no more than 7 days to get it done. 🫣 Now that I’m not working with clients anymore, I can stop gatekeeping 😅 Here’s some tools to save you lots of money/time:
