Was on a call with my boss reluctantly explaining how kubernetes works. I felt the rumble, thinking it was just my discomfort with the state of affairs in my company. Might as well have been a fart in the wind.

A legal and secure dead man's switch?

Yeah the AI is pretty tough, pretty much only spams workers and warriors. Only issue for me is being able to accurately click on my base and/or individual chars. But otherwise pretty fun!

I don't know how much confidence I would put into this, but there is an amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/M5Stack-Development-Extensible-Contro...

Pwnagotchi was a lot of fun when I was actually commuting to work and travelling through the city and other dispersed areas. Not so much for me now.

This is brilliant. And here I thought the NorthKoreaDNSLeak back in 2016 was something to pour hours over, this is a treat !

I am interested in this topic, can you elaborate? Or any thoughts from anyone?

Wish we had a fully-accessible article.

But on the topic at hand, what about loosely coupled bots that individually use broom lasers to break down debris in manageable pieces?

@outworlder Can you please speak more about this, in what capabilities can be possible within our lifetimes? What sort of frivolous tasks do you mean?

caretak3r — Sat, 18 Jul 2020 12:50:41 +0000

I get it, but anything with the phrase "new and improved" always strikes a nerve with me. In all honesty I hope other companies learn from this, and put in the effort to bolster their defenses-in-depth, especially at a CSE-level. I have witnessed many a times, how much power they are given, and how easily it could be exploited by just a bit of coercion.

Hahah looks like it's getting closer: OAuth account takeover? https://twitter.com/LiveOverflow/status/1283511782380908545

People who don't want scrutiny from their old tweets want an easy way to delete/wipe their tweets. There are a load of software out there that claim to do this. They all relatively take over the oAuth chain, and do the needful. But one of them does it as if you were in your browser. As to not give away information about the user's phone/type/version.

Just imagine trading secrets to foreign actors, or selling misinformation. Can you even think of the covert operations that could have taken place to slowly poison streams of people in the twitter-sphere? This is a big yikes on a platform that "poses" as a platform of democracy and free speech.

It's so easy for a Twitter user to use a a later compromised 3rd party app, only having to press a button to authorize the entire oauth chain. Look at hosted packages or artifacts in dockerhub, GitHub, ruby, pypi, etc. Malicious things like this are everywhere, dormant on systems until the right group can leverage against end users. Imagine if tweekdeck was compromised.
