Let’s see…We’ve got the party that bombs foreigners for no reason, or… The other party that also bombs foreigners for no reason.

Finally an opinionated programming language with the right priorities.

I want to spend Christmas at Lance’s house.

If one person has never used Twitter, I think they get all three antidote doses.

Sweet. It worked this time.

I hate having to reboot the simulation.

Edit: Debug: Did this post inside the sim?

Shit shit shit. Where’s that rollback script? And stop logging this to that comment-

Matt lost the will to live in a world where the “Does anyone want to play GameCube later?” mug sits unused.

Yes. Sadly Linux viruses are doing well, today. I suppose it is a reflection of Linux’s success.

That reminds me - I’m finally ready to remove that Under Conduction animation from my Geocities page…

“If you don’t want to carry it home, that’s okay. I can bring the smell home for us with a quick roll in it.”

“Our AI security reviews 20,000 configurations every hour. Your money is safer than - shit. Well, nevermind. There’s no money left. Excuse me, I need to leave the country.”

If it’s all dumped into a single commit, I will whip your computer into the nearest body of water and tell you to go fish it out.

I’m going to steal this for an update to an internal guidance document for my dev team. Thank you.

The tactics in Wolfenstein: ET were brilliant.

This is going to be a great time to be a lawyer… until the climate kills us all, of course.

“I’m sorry too, Dmitri. I’m very sorry. All right, you’re sorrier than I am. But I am sorry as well. I am as sorry as you are, Dmitri. Don’t say that you’re the more sorry than I am because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we’re both sorry, all right? All right.”

Oh, gee. A Microsoft product that worked perfectly locally is about to require a subscription. Who could have possibly guessed that would happen, yet again? (This is sarcasm.)

I really like OneNote, but I decided to learn something else when I realized which way the wind was blowing.

Usually the asshole.

Yeah. And, in fairness, as a non-pirate, I read along here for tips and tricks to get a non-shit streaming experience out of my home hosted hardware.

If I could still pay for a non-shit streaming experience, I would just do that.

It’s you can modify the settings file you sure as hell can put the malware anywhere you want

True. (But in case it amuses you or others reading along:) But a code settings file still carries it’s own special risk, as an executable file, in a predictable place, that gets run regularly.

An executable settings file is particularly nice for the attacker, as it’s a great place to ensure that any injected code gets executed without much effort.

In particular, if an attacker can force a reboot, they know the settings file will get read reasonably early during the start-up process.

So a settings file that’s written in code can be useful for an attacker who can write to the disk (like through a poorly secured upload prompt), but doesn’t have full shell access yet.

They will typically upload a reverse shell, and use a line added to settings to ensure the reverse shell gets executed and starts listening for connections.

Edit (because it may also amuse anyone reading along): The same attack can be accomplished with a JSON or YAML settings file, but it relies on the JSON or YAML interpreter having a known critical security flaw. Thankfully most of them don’t usually have one, most of the time, if they’re kept up to date.

Yeah. I’m sympathetic to the whole “technology is hard” thing, and the idea that the SteamDeck is primarily meant to be for mobile gaming.

But switching from Nintendo Switch to SteamDeck really highlighted to me how good the Nintendo engineering team is, that I never had any of these display issues with a docked Switch.
