TIL: Greenday had a spinoff band back in 2007-09, called Foxboro Hottubs that played garage rock, rock, rock and roll and punk music.
  • The network was a fun album, but like the rest of their spin off it’s really a personal thing. But its gotta be hard to play the same thing day in, day out, putting out album after album to the sound of people telling you: you sold out. Its fun to see the depth even if its not your thing…. Mother Mary slaps.

    Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext
  • I'm not surprised... I think people ('the ones that care at least') would be horrified to know how much of this stuff slips through, because it's hard (there are so many other things that are pulling at developers that something falls through the cracks). Most of the time the right answer is to bring it up. Then thank them when they resolve the issue (with beer and pizza money at the very least).

    Looks like it's waiting for approval, https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/pull/6933 for anyone else thats interested.

    Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext
  • I think the issue that they are trying to make is that there are modern ways of protecting the keys with hardware level security, that aren’t being used. As someone who works in AppSec this is all too common. All it takes is one library in an application to be popped (doesn’t have to be signal), and security keys end up leaked. If it isn’t already, I’m sure that signals keys will be included in exfil scripts.

    Tools like TPM and SecureEnclaves (TrustZone,etc) mean that malware, and other nasties have a higher bar that they need to meet.

    Recommendation for a high-quality webcam for Linux
  • i’ve had a lot of luck with the logitech brio which is a 4K WebCam, the only issue that I’ve run into is the fact that you have to make sure that it is plugged in to a USB 3.0 and not 3.1 port.

    Building a tool
  • Thanks for the feedback. The initial page will be going away pretty quickly, it's why I didn't spend much time on it. I will be replacing it with a real CMS here in a couple of days. I haven't gotten to any of the mobile view, but I made sure that I went with tailwind so that working with the break points will be a lot easier. I'm mostly a backend dev so this is the first time that I'm starting from 'scratch' (leaning heavily copy pasta style).

    It's a content management and sharing system, I have been using world anvil for a while and really like it but I spend way more time working on getting all of my images to look right than working on content. Additionally I am to the place where I am wanting to break off some of my content to make it available for me to run in smaller adventures for play testing. I figured that if it's a problem that I have some others probably have it too.

    Thank you for the feedback. I will make sure that I do some mobile testing to tighten it up.

  • Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules about self promotion or any other nonsense. If so let me know and I will either modify or remove.

    I have recently found myself unemployed and I am going through and trying to work with a new programming stack that I haven't worked with in the past. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet, but I was hoping that there might be some people who are interested in trying it out.

    In the past I have utilized other tools for tracking the content of my worlds, but I never found one that really worked for me. The last one that I ended up working with was worldanvil. The tools is amazing.... but, I found myself spending more time trying to make things look better than actually writing content. So here is my crack at things, you can register and poke around, if you have any thoughts for things that you would like to see let me know, not sure if I'm going to fully stand it up as a hosted things or maybe dump it as a docker container.

    Thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreaciated.

    Every time that there is a leak like this it's infinitely aggravating how the spin department tries to downplay what happened. If you are using SMS based MFA you probably want to stop doing that now.

    So here’s the problem that I have, I have several generations of back ups, which are currently taking over huge amounts of space on my NAS server. I want to be able to go through and process all of the files that are on it while the duplicating, and possibly going through and tagging any files that I find that are helpful. Is anyone aware of a good tool to help accomplish this task. Again because of the nature of the backups, I don’t want to utilize any software I’m not running locally.

    Thanks in advance.

    The goal was to find out if the minion was killed at then end of the monologue, since the party has been invested in thinking that the minion was the BBEG.

    Well that didn't go as planned.

    Edit: Apparently posting images is down at the moment, so had to troubleshoot.
