Fuck a vape I got a new full proof plan:
  • I got it! Nicotine slammers! Patches that look like bubble wrap with a needle on one side.

    You lay the needle side on a vein, and slam your free hand down hard on the patch. Instant injection!

  • Question About Hacking Challenge Websites
  • I don't recommend HackTheBox

    Yeah, that was one of the sites that went corporate. Seems worse than I thought.

    Thank you for the info, comrade!

    Edit: grammar, added thoughts.

  • Question About Hacking Challenge Websites

    Question for the c/tech crowd:

    Are there any good hacking challenge websites still out there?

    I know a few went away, a few went corporate, and I only found one to still exist as is. I'm looking for more as I want relearn some skills and get more advanced on other skills.

    Help a brother out?

    Fuck Google | Android 15 cracks down on sideloaded apps even harder to protect users
  • Okay but here's the kicker:

    If you have an alternative OS like GrapheneOS, you won't be able to side load there either.

    https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/09/android-now-allows-apps-to-block-sideloading-and-push-a-google-play-version/

    Google's Play Integrity API is how apps have previously blocked access when loaded onto phones that are in some way modified from a stock OS with all Google Play integrations intact. Recently, a popular two-factor authentication app blocked access on phones with modified firmware, including GrapheneOS, which aims to surpass the security of Android's stock system. Apps can call the Play Integrity API and get back an "integrity verdict," relaying if the phone has a "trustworthy" software environment, has Google Play Protect enabled, and passes other software checks.

    Might look reasonable on it's face, but if I need to fix an app, or possibly get an app that was removed from Google Play, I'm blocked from that. What control I had over my Android phone is gone with Android 15, if I ever get that update. And switching to something else like GrapheneOS or Lineage, I'm blocked if I ever install GApps / GPlay.

    Edit: grammar, clarity.

    Do you think JD Vance was a Hot Couch guy?
  • Hot Couch Guy?

    More like a "Hot For His Couch" guy kelly

  • NO.
    This man is over 50 years old and doing this unironically
  • Why don't they just go and J/O to some Hajime Sorayama pictures?

    The weirdos get their cyberpunk robo-waifu fix, and we don't have to burn up the earth using LLMs to give it.

  • “I’m the one who destroys the state from within. It’s like having infiltrated enemy lines,” he declared.

    This MF went wholly mask off, I see. Ironic since part of what got him elected was him wearing a mask and full weirdo cosplay to comic cons.

    Pray for Argentina, I guess. Or you know, someone there can do some fedposting

  • This man is over 50 years old and doing this unironically
  • showing himself as a Terminator punching old people seeking retirement benefits.

    JFC ! visible-disgust

  • This man is over 50 years old and doing this unironically
  • I take it Milei in Argentina is the equivalent of Elongated Muskrat here in amerikkka

    So to get an idea of what it would look for melon-musk to get any kind of position in US Gov't, we should look at Argentina - with ancaptain being the worst case scenario.

    Do I have that correct?

    EDIT: Just wanted to add, Milei fucks his sister.

    First, my car pops the passenger side front tire. Thankfully, no one was hurt. I got it replaced but I need to have my paycheck hurry up and deposit so I can get the other side replaced to balance it out.

    Next, after replacing the throttle on an e-scooter, I find that I need to replace the brake as that is electronically wired and keeping the scooter from going (I found frayed wires connecting to the controller board). More money to spend on a scooter I found at the dumpster.

    Lastly, after Nobara was practically screaming at me to update it, I go to log in and KDE Plasma crashes after log on. Thankfully, a quick search turned up a solution that got my desktop environment back up and running.

    This was just Friday. I dread to know what my weekend will be like, since I'm the on-call technician this weekend.
