birds have a Z chromosome that allows them to move vertically

Here's a good example of straight stupid: The "Teraleak", which claims it's a massive leak of Apple testflight data.

twitter.com/teraleak

... it's an Archive Team project from 9 years ago. They announced they were shutting down and Archive Team downloaded everything before it disappeared.

Now places are reporting it as an Apple Leak or something. It's a fucking crawl. A CRAWL, people. How far we have fallen.

no shade on heartbleed, it's just that it was the start of that huge wave of vulnerabilities with names and logos and websites and inspired many unworthy imitators

ALL THIS TIME, I THOUGHT I WAS DEPRESSED. IT TURNS OUT, I JUST NEEDED A HIGH-STATUS JOB AND HUMONGOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY.

#37C3 / Chaos Communication Congress will also have another instalment of Blåmba! ( blamba.de/ ), if you missed it at Camp!

Search for your old Nokia phones and bring them! SIM cards will be available.

If you have creative ideas for artwork, feel free to send them over at github.com/blamba-de/blamba-co

Finally finished the DIY mini networking rack that I've been working on for the past ~4 months.

It's almost entirely made out of 3D printed parts, with the exception of the vertical rack rails and the side/top-panels.

For the vertical rails I used actual rack rails made out of steel, the side panels are laser cut polypropylene with metal mesh glued to the back.

The heavier devices (router and optiplex) are sitting on diy'ed rails made out of angled alu bars to prevent them from sagging down.

I've played tabletop games with so many girls that my last Lancer game had to take three six-week breaks because players kept getting bottom surgery

YOUR 2023 CALENDAR WRAPPED

You spent 31 DAYS in each of the months of August, March, July, January, October, and May. That’s a six way tie. Guess you’re the type who can’t be satisfied by just one month! 😎

Your longest day was NOVEMBER 5, a whopping 25 hours. Falling back like a champ! 🍂

This year was the 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF 2013. Here’s to another 10 more! 🥳

You’ve had 51 MONDAYS so far this year. Yikes! We won’t tell Garfield if you won’t. 🐈

ISO C committee, a failed standard effort:

  • dysfunctional, couldn't standardise a simple improvement if their lives depended on it
  • arcane, incomprehensible specs that nobody reads
  • all volunteers. literally nobody involved gets paid
  • they have the gall to paywall it??

Khronos (Vulkan, OpenGL) and MIDI specs:

  • long track record of pragmatism
  • written by big companies that have hardware to ship and no patience for bullshit
  • down-to-earth, sometimes refreshingly casual, easy-to-understand specs
  • everyone involved has a real job
  • free :)
