I spend way too much of my life trying to get Apple devices to do incredibly simple things that they're supposed to be able to do easily and by default.

(Today's case in point [ha]: disabling the sound my AirPods case makes. It's just a toggle button in the settings...but it's grayed-out and disabled for no apparent reason, and multiple Apple support-recommended hard resets have yielded no results.)

BGP is the yellow pages that hangs the internet together with string.

Pretty incredible blog about BGP here from @benjojo https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/bgp-path-attributes-grave-error-handling

Talk to go with the blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wMXEiFiueM&cbrd=1

Tl;dr - if you fuzz BGP attributes, you can very easily find ones which propagate to every router and crash routers. About half of vendors have easily reproducible issues. None of the vendors have bug bounty programmes. Or in other words, you can own the internet in your underpants.

NEW ANALYSIS: Heat pumps have seen huge growth in Nordic countries.

Heat pumps sold over 30 years contributed to a -72% drop in CO2 emissions from heating in Finland, -83% in Norway & -95% in Sweden.

How has this been achieved?

My piece for Carbon Brief.

The other day I noticed that the Dragon Warrior rom actually has 2 different fonts stacked on top of each other.

NES tiles are stored as 2 bits per pixel, so if something only needs to be 2 colors, like a font, you can store Font 1 in the first bit of each pixel and Font 2 in the 2nd bit.

If a pixel is Color 0, it's not part of either font. If it's color 1 or 2, it's unique to Font 1 or Font 2 respectively. If it's color 3, it appears in both fonts. Then you set your palette accordingly.

If you ever have a burst of imposter syndrome, please take note that I've recently seen code where to remove a background, a #python library was downloaded (no pip) into a #laravel app. It was called using `shell_exec()` with no escaping. Access via. a route. (unguarded)

I had my last regular day working at the #Adaptive Cycling Center, so how about a brief rundown on adaptive bikes!

I was hired to work for Outdoors for All in the ACC for May-Sept, and I'd like to document my crash course on working to get people with disabilities or injuries out and about on an #AdaptiveBike.

So what IS #AdaptiveCycling? Follow along and AMA!

lol, lmao even

The city of Atlanta recently doxxed all 116,000 people who had signed the stop cop city referendum, releasing full names and addresses. An anonymous group has decided to dox the Atlanta Committee for Progress board members in turn - a group of powerful people with corporate and industrial interests pulling strings all the way up to the mayors office.

You can find their full statement along with the (rather long) list of board members at the archive.org link below.

So, interesting that getting a COVID vaccine was easier when the government was handling its distribution and somewhat harder now that it’s being handled by the market.

It’s almost as if government is good for some things.
