Utiliser un tel #Android sans compte #Google c'est possible. A l'activation, au lieu de renseigner un compte, on choisit "ignorer". Conséquence, pas de Play Store, aucune importance : on installe F-Droid (magasin d'applis alternatif) et si on veut installer (ou mettre à jour) des applis qui viennent du Play Store on installe Aurora Store (la connexion au Play Store est alors anonyme) 😊 Pas de root nécessaire.
Vanavond zit ik aan tafel bij de @angrynerdspodcast een goed bekeken en beluisterd wekelijks programma over #Privacy en #Security en #hack dingen in het algemeen.
Ik wil hun volgers en luisteraars naar de Fediverse trekken. Laten jullie even zien dat het hier leeft door ze van 139 volgers naar een stuk of 200 te laten stijgen vandaag? Boost is fijn. 🙏🏻
Comcast has confirmed that hackers exploiting a critical-rated security vulnerability accessed the sensitive information of almost 36 million Xfinity customers....
There have been many definitions of roguelikes and roguelites thrown around over the years, and Berlin Interpretation aside (it's too broad), a guy I was talking to the other day sent me a great, concise definition of both that I really liked (simplified, paraphrased and rewritten a bit):
Roguelike: (looking to "Rogue" for comparison): single character turn and tile based strategy rpg (i.e. NOT games like Rogue Legacy - they're just platformers!)
Roguelite: subgenre of roguelike built around metaprogress.
Rogue is a "Hack-like" (Hack is basically a proto-Nethack) and Nethack is a hack-like -- so Rogue, Nethack and Hack are all roguelikes.
This news is from almost exactly 8 years ago. Softpedia reported 13 days later that eBay partially patched it, but the patch was insufficient. I could not find further updates, but I do know that eBay has since removed more advanced JavaScript (incl. JSFuck) from all listings in 2017....
Nun ja, ein iPhone ist meiner Meinung nach nicht sicherer als Android aber viele Menschen glauben es noch, denn sie nehmen bei iPhone mehr Sicherheit an. Ein Beispiel zeigt dies sehr klar auf und ist, so viel ich weiss, nicht das Erste.

As a member of the indieweb.social instance who hasn’t got a clue how to #code or #hack beyond a few html tweaks, I am constantly in awe of the “builder” vibe here (on #indieweb, on #Mastodon, on the #Fediverse). Everyone be like, “Hey, I built this over here!” And “Hey, I can connect that to this over there!” And “Yo, look what I did on top of all of that!” And none of it is for the purpose of raking in bucks or controlling an empire.
What is one of your favorite advanced #programming books you have read? Preferably, language agnostic.
When I was younger, there was a book, "Python for hackers," and my operating systems lecturer often recommended something by the name of "The operating systems blackbook" or "Computer graphics blackbook".
Only reading documentation only gets you so far, I would love to read a cult classic in the tech world!
The enshittification of email has led to their announcement emails getting filed to spam by Google etc al. (We run our own mailserver and have been wrestling with this for years, but at least our livelihoods don't depend on it!)
But after the 2018 HOPE, the Hotel Pennsylvania was demolished to make way for the Penn15 (no, really) skyscraper, a vaporware mega-tower planned as a holding pen for luxury shopping and empty million-dollar condos sold to offshore war-criminals as safe-deposit boxes in the sky. The developer, Vornado (no, really) hasn't actually done all that – after demo'ing the Hotel Pennsylvania, they noped out, leave a large, unusable scar across midtown.
Just read @pluralistic 's blog post about the difficulty that @2600 is having, both with its publication and producing the #HOPE con. This is tragic - I've never attended HOPE, but I've seen many videos and read so many recaps and articles inspired by it. Support 2600 today!
On a side note, have you noticed how many “training” sites there are now? It’s almost like people are making more money teaching hacking than actually doing it."
I agree, but it's worth noting the education market has been saturated with non-material, often designed as a ploy to encourage spending for a very long time now.
A cogwheel grift to get people spending.
Training resources (and the industry) suffer from the following issues:
When I was checking out at 4am this morning, I blearily stumbled to a self-checkout machine to get my folio for Expensify without talking to a human (living that #tech life, yo), I quickly stopped myself as I realized that these machines littering the massive casino ask you to insert your driver's license INTO the machine, while the screens are flickering and Windows is having a meltdown.
After, you know, everything mentioned in the article below. Unreal! 👇

TIL JSFuck, an esoteric subset of JS that only uses operators, could be used to hack eBay customers by injecting it into item listings. As JSFuck obfuscated the actual code, attackers were able to get browsers that see the listing to run external scripts. (arstechnica.com)
