🤯 The level of sophistication of the XZ attack is very impressive! I tried to make sense of the analysis in a single page (which was quite complicated)! I hope it helps to make sense of the information out there. Please treat the information "as is" while the analysis progresses! 🧐 #infosec #xz

I can see how a group composed of soldiers with no medical training and horses failed to aid the injuries sustained by Humpty Dumpty.

Just dropped my @esphome_ packages into my GitHub. If you use #ESPhome hopefully these can save you a bunch of repeated lines of code! github.com/jseidl/esphome…

While I do appreciate the bridging of worlds between industrial and home automation, don't use modbus in any of them. There are better protocols. Thanks.

I find it funny when people say smart locks are insecure and physical locks ftw when someone skilled can pick your physical lock in a matter of seconds. You can outsmart both of them. Stop your internal dialog.

@LEGOMastersAU makes @LEGOMastersFOX's builds look like they're made by toddlers

Many times I stumble across what it looks like a cool project but then I see there's PHP being used and there goes the respect out of the window.

From time to time I close my eyes and remember that we dodged A massive bullet of having an XML-based protocol as the industry standard for web APIs. Thanks REST from saving us from SOAP.

@sjwaterco That's great news! Can't wait!

@jseidl We hear you, Jan. That’s why we’re in the process of launching a new way to pay your bill, including a user-friendly portal, more payment options like Apple Pay and Venmo, and online auto-pay enrollment. It's all coming very soon - stay tuned!

@sjwaterco didn't get the memo that they're in the Silicon Valley and not in a pre-internet swamp. (the link is for a pdf form you have to print and manually fill up)

@mitt_nya_nym Oof that wasn't supposed to be revealed so soon 😂😂😂 damn 2023 typo

@jseidl you live in the future?

Among the top things I hate in tech is definitely lazy loading. I get the performance savings but it's annoying AF. It's 2030 I have gigabit internet. Just load the whole fucking thing. I don't care about bw savings on your side.

@pr0teusbr I just wanted to print about 10 pages in a row instead of brute forcing until I have all of the 10 printed in different moments throughout the day

@jseidl Nah it won't happen! Like light bulb that lasts forever. Heard about an engineer who designed a printer that printed 1kk pages without error. He just disappeared 🥲

The year is 2023 and tech companies still didn't figure out yet how to make printers that just work every time.

Me: that looks like a cool project! *goes to its GitHub* *it's made in Javascript* *closes GitHub* Me: Nevermind.

So that's why you're wrong being mad of server side verification on games with strong multi-player heritage / focus. You're welcome.

To everyone that complains about games such as Diablo 4 being online only, the reason you're mad about that is because you're an ignorant person with regards to security of online games, and I'll tell you why.

If you wanna give your own char all the godly gear on solo, I couldn't care less. But Diablo (and other games) have strong competitive multi-player ladders and nobody wants cheaters there. Diablo 2 addressed that on by not allowing your offline char to ever go online.

That means one cannot let the client do things offline and just "let the server know" the latest state and blatantly trust that. That's how you used to get by with item duplication on the first Diablo and the offline mode on Diablo 2.

The game that runs on your device, is the client as you can imagine. The thing which your game talks to, as you might know, is the server. The server needs to get your "go right" input, calculate where you'll end up and return your new coordinates, for example
