ehPReth··on How Gen Z became so nihilistic about money
I have literally no extra money to save. Everything I have is maxed out or near maxed out.

my retirement plan is an overdose.

ehPReth··on Re: Do people IRL know you have a blog?
I have exactly one IRL friend that cares about my technology stuff, but he lives far away and we don't see each other in person too often. My ex tolerates me talking about it a little bit before he tells me to shut up, but that's it. It kind of sucks. I've just re-internalized to that nothing I do really matters, and therefore neither do I.
ehPReth··on Google's shortened links will stop working next year
it's so sad this multi-trillion dollar company can't spare some resources to serve a some 301s.
ehPReth··on It's not just CrowdStrike – the cyber sector is vulnerable
I've been trialling application allowlisting, but wow is it ever frustrating. So much stuff isn't signed, and when it is the accompanying DLLs aren't. or the signature is invalid. or some of Windows' own executables/dlls aren't signed (why?? you make applocker??) or the installer is, but none of the actual resultant end files

Is it just me?

ehPReth··on Jailbreaking RabbitOS
there's also https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, though I'm not sure what the difference

ehPReth··on Disney's Internal Slack Breached? NullBulge Leaks 1.1 TiB of Data
the (former) employee keeps them (i imagine for a myriad of reasons like hygiene and various overheads it would take to track such)

things like tools (wrenches, drills, bits, etc) are separately supplied by the company per department/work area (sort of like hot desking in the office world) and stay with the company at all times

ehPReth··on Disney's Internal Slack Breached? NullBulge Leaks 1.1 TiB of Data
in some cases they do! a friend worked for a labour intensive job (X days on, Y days off) and they have a yearly use-it-or-lose-it allowance that he was allowed to claim expenses against for things like boots, jackets, safety gear, etc
ehPReth··on Google Chrome has an API accesible only from *.google.com
unsure how it's reported back now, but I believe (it's been a while since i've dug in there) it's also exposed as a metric for Google Workspace administrators to monitor client perf during said calls as well

(but yeah it would just be easier to yoink it)

ehPReth··on Something happens to everyone
too long for me :/
ehPReth··on Twilio confirms data breach after hackers leak 33M Authy user phone numbers
is this just like

anotherservicetwilioruined.example.com/api/doesthispersonhaveanaccount?phone=+12012000000

and then the service says 'yeah that number has an account' (and nothing else?)? then whomever repeats that for every possible phone number?

or... more than that?

ehPReth··on Wcurl: a curl wrapper to download files
is there a way to make curl do wget style progress output? i like curl but would love that kind of meter
ehPReth··on Immich Progress Update [July 2024]
really great software
ehPReth··on Remembering the LAN (2020)
is there a way to give a 'tailscale IP address' to dumber devices on your network? effectively serving 'tailnet addresses' via DHCP? say to a printer, other lower powered devices, etc. could have sworn i saw an article about this at some point but can't find it
ehPReth··on React 19 almost made the internet slower
i do like not having NAT :)
ehPReth··on Group chats rule the world

ehPReth··on L(O*62).ONG: Make your URL longer
.ngo also exists alongside .ong depending on what suits the organization. Sadly, they don't automatically get both anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ngo_and_.ong
ehPReth··on L(O*62).ONG: Make your URL longer
NGO is a specific type of organization (such as a 501(c)(3) in the US), which would exclude 'a random person registering a domain': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization
ehPReth··on Reclaiming IPv4 Class E's 240.0.0.0/4
my ISP has no plans for it.. and even escalating it to the highest levels the best answer was something like they're focused on upgrading physical infrastructure and aren't bothering with IPv6 at this time (despite me casually asking for 10+ years)
ehPReth··on Tmux is worse-is-better
it's a foss project: http://www.9bis.net/kitty/ https://github.com/cyd01/KiTTY
ehPReth··on iTerm2 feature request: disable all AI-related features
is it? I thought you had to specifically invoke and prompt something? not just it sending everything carte blanche?
ehPReth··on It was online for 3 seconds before getting a 404 request for /.git/config
all publicly trusted CAs (that want to work in browsers?) do this
ehPReth··on I am no longer attending vintage computer festivals

ehPReth··on I am no longer attending vintage computer festivals

ehPReth··on I am no longer attending vintage computer festivals
