  • Could be… but I’ve had one or two guys that I reported to over the years who replied that fast. One guy still stands out in my mind; ran a team of maybe 14, at age 27, got back to me within 10 minutes every single time, took him less time for a competent reply than it typically took me to compose the initial email.

    He definitely seemed super human.



  • Uhhhh… I was ready to stand up and clap, but the more you read the lamer it gets! A) It’s an art exhibit that doesn’t sound even remotely permanent. B) Only members of government and law enforcement are permitted access to the files — so, the folks who already did fuck all. C) All of this information was already released publicly and is widely available, albeit not in hard copy… unless, you know, you want to; buy a laser printer, visit a Kinko’s… which feels like the most appropriate place to get something like this printed.

    If they were honestly interested in disseminating this information to the public without exposing the identities of people that are unredacted they could’ve done something useful like redact the documents themselves.





  • Yeah… I finished up the Tom’s article. Nope, I lied… I just gave up on reading it 😌

    It just seems like something that could be encapsulated, no? I guess since they call it a hypervisor bypass it sits below the virtualization layer… which is essentially Greek to me. About 1 million years ago, I tried to get solid Works to run in a Windows VM on Lennox and it wouldn’t work. Best I could tell they were using device names that the virtual machine substituted for real hardware… I tried to recompile it and change the names, but I gave up because I didn’t care that much. Since I was using Solidworks pretty much all the time a dedicated machine wasn’t a big deal… as hard as most gamers game, that seems like the route I would go if it were me.

    A deadhead gaming box more-or-less isolated… obviously it’s not exactly gaming on Linux, but if you’re playing a game on a windows computer from your Linux desktop… I’d argue that it’s the next best thing.







  • I mean… honestly I have been intending to make those plans so years… so that’s on me 😝 Like literally pops is a German immigrant, I could have citizenship there, but it took a friend 8 years.

    But part of me always comes back to the USA being my home, not something to be abandoned when shit gets rough. I don’t really consider myself politically motivated or minded, I didn’t vote for most of my life… nor does it really matter with the electoral college in my particular zip code. And somehow nothing local that really matters to me or has any bearing on my quality of life ever seem to make it on the ballot.

    Maybe going to a protest is pointless, maybe it’s not. Maybe the point is not what changes on the ground but how we are perceived by the world at large.

    Lastly… it seems less risky than anarchy or “direct action.”

    Granted I am already a terrorist for thinking, seditious thoughts while duceing it out yesterday morning… but I’ll try the protest first 😅
