sans_souseon Instructure pays ransom to Canvas hackers

I would love to know the amount of ransoms paid by large companies who've been compromised without the public being informed. How much that undisclosed amount impacts inflation and the economy today is not talked about nearly enough, imo.

Anyone who thinks they might be emitting a MAC address from their physical persons.

sans_souseon Where the goblins came from

Great, now who am I going to discuss Goblins and Gremlins with?

sans_souseon I accidentally made law enforcement shut down their fake honeypot

Why is this particular phrasing; "fake honeypot" triggering déjà vu for me? And is it fake déjà vu or legit?

Genuinely asking if anyone recalls this being in an HN in the last two yearsish.

sans_souseon Vercel April 2026 security incident

As a general hobbyist-type, I can attest to the above post, it is 100% valid and accurate.

This entire process is something anyone can test and reproduce; I was definitely steered towards both vercel and supabase by gemini. It isn't model specific.

sans_souseon The buns in McDonald's Japan's burger photos are all slightly askew

They must get a kick too when they see our stoic, rigid, perfectly postured McWiches. Great post, OP +1

sans_souseon A cryptography engineer's perspective on quantum computing timelines

I know this may be outside of scope but I am very curious as to any thoughts you may have of a potential for ternary system at hw level?

sans_souseon A Primer on Long-Duration Life Support

> With humanity's future probably (?) driving more of us to leave the planet, I'm

I'm seeing it's becoming ever-clearer that our best and possibly only real "option" is here on Earth. That means not fixing our mess = no future.

sans_souseon Show HN: Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video search

Total aside here but is that you driving the pickup I assume?

sans_souseon Show HN: I Was Here – Draw on street view, others can find your drawings

I was definitely finding it fun, responsive etc. Started to do a Simpsons-esque tag in Boston but ran out of credit. Hope to see more leeway keep up the good work

sans_souseon Show HN: I Was Here – Draw on street view, others can find your drawings

I love it until fine I'll signup and love it again but then no you pay now. My 2 cents is all I have to give.

sans_souseon Thomas Hawkins and the Letters of Wanda Tinasky

Crazy TiL as I was reading up on Pynchon and found this commection. Any zodiac sleuths want a new candidate (or two)?

sans_souseon Lessons from 14 years at Google

To me; point #3 is the big one and it is in conflict with point #1

sans_souseon Google is dead. Where do we go now?

Sorry in advance if this comes off as hostile, that's not my intent. I am genuinely wondering: You're in the business of advertising? And you're upset that Google isn't your golden goose anymore?

sans_souseon Calendar

Anyone able to print this via Android? When I tap 3-dots in chrome → share→print I am getting an error

sans_souseon Experts explore new mushroom which causes fairytale-like hallucinations

I dig your style, you sound like my inner monologue :D

sans_souseon Google is 'gradually rolling out' option to change your gmail.com address

In the latter specifically it doesn't differ except for the specific methodology and what we do with the results.

sans_souseon Google is 'gradually rolling out' option to change your gmail.com address

Stay tuned I have a pretty cool project I plan on launching very soon. It takes the email alias to the next level, using them as meta tags to actually allow users to trace the source of shady data exchanges. I'm working on the guide and I'm hoping to actually start a community effort here to hold companies accountable for responsible use of PII

sans_souseon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

Awesome work guys. I am envious of anyone involved in the research (well besides those who are actually involved in the discovery process, those people's lives are not fun right now). If you're enlisting help please let me know! Keep up the good work.

sans_souseon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

The breathing apparatus makes me think Dennis Hopper as Frank in Blue Velvet. Chills.

sans_souseon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

Anyone reading thru these and filtering out the promotion spam should consider taking a look thru. All his Amazon orders, which mostly are uninteresting sure, but scattered in there are books and eBook purchases dealing with some relevant and interesting-in-context topics.

Also, interesting that this one got by him (unopened, unread, filtered from inbox) and the timing of it being near his final arrest (coincidence, but still) https://www.jmail.world/eml/0b80588f551f3d097695f1c9507b6572

sans_souseon Brown/MIT shooting suspect found dead, officials say

Same perspective here just 15 miles northwest of scene. Pretty sure they confirmed officially presence of MA NH LEO, NHSP, MASP, FBI, CIA, ATF, and Secret Service.

sans_souseon How to hack Discord, Vercel and more with one easy trick

I'm not basing it on math.

Are you saying tho that 2.5k wouldhave been adequate in 2019? I expect 5k would have been on par then too. But idk

sans_souseon How to hack Discord, Vercel and more with one easy trick

No I know it's on par I guess better rephrasing would be the par is still too low
