Hollow Knight Silksong fans are convinced its soundtrack just sneaked onto GOG

Over the many years since it was first announced, the anticipation for Hollow Knight sequel Hollow Knight Silksong's launch has steadily increased. With the recent news that Silksong would be playable at this week's Gamescom, and tomorrow bringing the Opening Night Live showcase, the fervor surrounding Team Cherry's long-gestating project seems to ...

Back from #defcon with one very important lesson: /tmp is where dreams go to die. 💀📂

This year I unleashed my “PursePot” — a Raspberry Pi honeypot + Evil Twin rig tucked neatly into my purse. Nobody looked twice at the bag, but inside it was quietly broadcasting Xfinity, attwifi, and Target Guest WiFi while nudging devices off the defcon open net to come say hello.

In just 7 hours, PursePot collected a malware menagerie:

- 78 P2PInfect worms (overachievers)
- 68 Mirai variants (still kicking IoT around)
- 37 XMRig cryptominers (Monero forever, I guess?)
- Cameos by Outlaw, Gafgyt, Prometei, and Xorddos

Takeaways?

Opportunistic malware doesn’t care if you’re at the world’s biggest hacker con — it just wants a new home.

PursePot v2 is already in the works. More stealth, more logging, and maybe fewer tragic life choices with /tmp. 😅

Ça y est, ça chouine !

Il y a une personne qui poste un graphique pour remettre un peu les choses au clair sur quand on est dans les classes moyennes ou aisées, et y en a plein qui viennent pinailler, parler de revenu net ou brut, avant ou après impôt, tout ça parce que ça veut pas accepter le fait qu'ils ont du fric.

C'est franchement indécent, vous foutez la gerbe, et vous feriez mieux de la fermer !

About five minutes later, the arresting officer approached him again. “He said: ‘I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news.’ I said: ‘What’s the good news?’ He said: ‘I’m de-arresting you.’

“And I said: ‘What’s the bad news?’ He said: ‘It’s going to be really embarrassing for me.’ And then I walked free, while all the real heroes are the people that are actually getting arrested.”

A screenshot of a news article with the headline: "Protester arrested over 'Plasticine Action' T-shirt: 'How ridiculous is this?'" The image in the article shows a middle-aged man with long grey hair and a goatee, standing outdoors with his hands on his hips. He is wearing a white T-shirt with the text "PLASTICINE ACTION" and "WE OPPOSE AI GENERATED ANIMATION" printed on it in a black box. The sub-headline of the article reads: "Miles Pickering says crowd at protest over Palestine Action ban was laughing at 'silliness' of scene as he was detained".

seriously bummed out... I had been planning my Ontario trip for months and just my luck my flight is cancelled and the cost to rebook on a later date is significantly higher now. I already requested paid vacation days off from work and its too late now to cancel it so I feel like I should still go somewhere. Plus, I honestly need to deload from working out, fencing and dancing because I'm starting to feel burn out creep up on me. I may book a flight somewhere else on a whim if I can find a good travel deal on such short notice

I updated Airstatus to accommodate Bleak 1.1.0 and the removal of Discover.

Today I went to check the battery status of my Airpods Max and found that 'discover' had been fully removed from Bleak. I had been getting warnings for years that it was deprecated and would eventually be axed. Today was the day. After updating Arch I was hit with discover being an unknown import from Bleak. I've tried every other trick in the book to get my Airpods battery to show on Linux, but Airstatus was the only one. I did some diving and saw that BleakScanner had replaced Discover.

I decided I might as well at some QoL things that I had wanted during my use of Airstatus. The new script accounts for Airpods Max and only shows a single battery level for them, as well as a keyboard interrupt exit script if you're like me and just check your battery in the terminal from time to time.

This is my first github fork. I don't know if I followed all the fork etiquette, but I did add delphiki in the readme markdown to credit them, as well as placed a notice at the end that it was a fork mostly for my own use. The only reason I decided to post it here is to help out anyone else that might be running into the same problem. Feel free to point out anything I should add to the readme or any problems with the script itself.

I will be spending a lot more time actually learning Python. I started learning a while back, but it had to be put on the backburner due to life in general. I'll be completely transparent in that I needed some help from AI. I know the Python basics, and I'd love to be able to fix problems like these without having to consult AI at all, but I'm just not at the level to do this on my own yet. To be fair, I used it mostly as an assistant to check and troubleshoot each block and traceback error rather than having it spit the whole script out for me. That way I at least learned a bit. I did pull up the BleakScanner page, fullstack, and Python guides at first, but I was still struggling.

Striking blue fruit of the Clintonia andrewsiana along the trail in Redwood National and State Parks yesterday. Experts note that the colors of the fruit include green, white, and shades of blue, and that the fruit is eaten by birds, elk, deer, and others. In this image, four blue fruit and two green fruit stand out against a background that includes a small section of the park trail and a large tree trunk anchoring the left-hand side of the view.

Part three of our VexTrio full monty is now available. This one is for the geeks but also a pretty short read... especially given the previous two parts!

Major takeaways are:
* these networks receive a ton of traffic. The primary image server for VexTrio TDS has long been in the top 10k popular domains globally -- we've been pushing hard and it is down around 11k now.
* they use a few different cloakers / trackers. we talk about IMKLO, binom, and Keitaro.
* they run a pretty modern devops stack with all the tech you would expect.
