How I didn't know about this is beyond me, either way now you know too, can't wait for release!

https://lab401.com/ (I guess one of the bigger supplier/e-shop of hacking tools in EU) has a sale going on.

If you are interested you can check it out but I have another question, has anyone actually found the hamster?
I've even started scouring the page sources, considering the nature of the site it wouldn't be unusual to have it hidden literally but no bueno.
The 200EUR hamsters were gone within few hours so I must be doing something wrong or... :shrug:

E: Hoping to get the Chameleon Ultra for this christmas and this seems to be the only official/renown seller of them in EU (open to alternatives though!), I know it's rather sub-par compared to the Proxmark but PX is currently overkill for me and I love how cute and small the CU is.

Not affiliated with this in an way, I just think this guy (N-O-D-E) is making some great stuff that's worth sharing.

I've remembered this exists and there seems to be some very recent activity in the repo so if you didn't know what was possible with TUI graphics now you know! (recommended watching with sound :)

PS: dank (the guy behind it) is definitely one of a kind, just read the releases haha

PPS: here is a doom running through notcurses in the terminal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_w5rh3c76g

For me, the most interesting point was the short mention of open sourcing Factorio (around 2:40). Kovarex seems to be very much open to the idea, he mentions that (as an approximation) maybe two years after the DLC after things calm down ...

(Hope this is not much of a titlegore)

If you are using https://github.com/wereii/lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner please stop and disable it as soon as possible.

We have found a security issue that allows any user to make LTC delete any locally hosted image.

I will be posting more details soon and editing this to include the information.

The server does not even respond to pings but I can see some comments/posts from the instance made few days ago.

I think this should be seen by more people, it's also not just a US thing.

Considering the timing this is probably a side effect of .world upgrading to 0.19.3 and their federation kicking into "higher" gear. I see 20-50 warnings like these in logs every minute all from lemmy.world.
I am guessing .world thinks at least one of my users are subscribed to a community but they are not (?) so my instance drops the federation (?)

I have a unused RPi4 (the 8Gig one) running DietPi. I did use it as a playground but ever since I am renting a Hetzner machine for (playground) stuff that I want web accessible, I don't have particular use for the Pi.

I am currently running (outdated) Home Assistant on it but there isn't much I can connect it with (yet, getting the flashable/compatible ikea smart lightning zigbee? bridge thingy is on my bucket list). Obviously I do have a pihole there.

Shoot me any other ideas I could run there. Some kind of monitoring of my rented infra would be cool (I already have uptime kuma on the dedi hetzner box). One idea I had was if there are some OSS security scanning "daemons" I could use on to monitor my other infra.

Thanks a lot!
