Namecheap also suspended my primary domain because of a bug at their end: https://captnemo.in/blog/2026/05/05/namecheap-whois/ tl;dr: Namecheap configured Domain Privacy on my doma…

I reversed Super Hexagon these last few weeks and ported it to the Playdate (the yellow console from Panic with a crank): https://old.reddit.com/r/PlaydateConsole/comments/1v1zxmt/…

There are a lot of other implementations of this idea that don't necessarily rely on trust-on-first-use. The securedrop team explicitly includes malicious JS served by the primary-…

This is a OS port (iOS) of an existing functional and maintained fork (MacOS) of the official release (Windows). Most of these low-hanging bugs would have been caught upstream by n…

upstream is a MacOS+linux build. https://github.com/fbraz3/GeneralsX .

Do we know how Apple sends these? Is it just a notification, or also email?

There are 2 complete folds in the Isaac 0 video around 0:40, but speeded up: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KhImSR8GuCE The about page claims 1000+ lbs of laundry folded every week.…

10% apparently for .tk. I also remember .tv windfall, which is 8-9% of their GDP.

I wrote superbright to be able to force it: https://github.com/captn3m0/superbright (fork of BrightIntosh). The display does get hit after 10-15 minutes of this though.

When I read the title, I thought it would be for research papers.

Hooks are not a new standard. Package managers have always supported hooks. It is just a call to get us to parity.

Package-level hooks are everywhere: https://github.com/ecosyste-ms/package-manager-hooks I wrote this in response to the recent AUR attacks. The problem isn’t really too many depen…

Aliases and pre-hooks are nowhere near the guarantees you want, that’s what I am arguing - not everything is invoked from a blessed shell. Safely-bump-does.sh is also impossibly ha…

Author here - people are definitely looking at other places. This just happens to be where the attacks are, and gets disproportionate attention as a result. Do you have examples of…

`PreInstall` mainly. But `PreFetch/PreBuild` also for source-repositories, such as AUR helpers. homebrew doesn't support hooks as a system package manager: https://github.com/ecosy…

(Author here). I don’t really care _how and what you decide to do with it_, the post is about package managers giving users the ability to decide. Dependency Cooldowns can be imple…

(Author here). It isn’t a matter of pre-install hooks. I don’t want known malware on my system irrespective of whether it runs at install-time or not. Pre-install hooks are going a…

Has anyone reversed their SDKs to run a swarm that captures enough traffic to see what requests are actually getting made?

You can route an encrypted video stream through a server, same as messages. Zoom supports this as well now. You can’t do fancy stuff like transcoding at the server to support an ol…

There is also microformats.

This was published in April, and we are far from consensus on what is “varnish”. Lots of distributions are now packaging vinyl and calling it varnish, some are pointing to the varn…
