I believe the APH Braille Plus might have been one of the most innovative mobile devices for our community when it was released in 2007. But 17 years later, how does this device hold up? My latest video explores this, and the answer may surprise you. youtube.com/watch?v=R6Pt5iAOin…

@scottishwildcat @hbons these are Apache chilli peppers, so: sun, and not watered a lot. They are also self-pollinating, so you need to brush the flowers when they open up. This plant has lasted two seasons, and it's very low maintenance, which is great because I can kill anything that is green either by obsessing on it too much, or by forgetting it exists the second I leave the room.

This former professional chili farmer/breeder is proud of you guys. If you ever get inspired and have a sunny window or can move a plant in and out for freezing weather, try one of the C. pubescens varieties. These are very hot, high altitude varieties that produce all year and like coastal environments. Here in the PNW they can produce all winter if they don't freeze. They produce fruit in cooler weather than C. annum.

They are colloquially known as "manzano" or "rocoto" and you'll know you've gotten the right thing if the seeds are black. Cuttings from your local chilihead will work too.

@matt Yeah I hate, that it is waaay to easy to override PATH, LD_PRELOAD/LIBRARY_PATH, etc and protecting against that is annoyingly difficult.

We never put a socket with these protocols on the filesystem, but that doesn’t mean much, when you don’t know what you are executing. And running the shell-components without the users environment has the potential to break a lot of valid use-cases unfortunately…

Doctor Who stories: How The Enemy of the World became a forgotten classic - Lovarzi Blog

There are some Doctor Who stories which never seem to get the love they deserve, and this was certainly true of 'The Enemy of the World' before its recovery in 2013. Why was this classic adventure overlooked for so long?

Thank you for sharing this Salon article on collective denialism. It touches so many subjects including Olympic athletes competing with covid, Taylor Swift superspreader concerts, surveillance of cases and deaths, how covid is not a cold or flu but a multisystemic disease that leads to disability in kids and adults, economic fallout, vaccination, and finally MASKING for mitigation. Superb article that needs a wider audience.

Something in @pluralistic’s @defcon talk has been sitting with me all day. To summarise badly:

Tech workers were looked after when it was a scarce skill. The layoffs make it clear it isn’t as scarce anymore.

As the saying goes - the future is here just not evenly distributed.

Abused amazon delivery/warehouse workers are the tech worker future.

The only defense is to unionise.

Update: A recording of the talk is now out defcon.social/@defcon/11314983…

Yesterday, I learned from a friend that the software running the Evo E10 daizy book reader/digital recorder for the blind is based on, of all things, OpenWRT. Wait... what?
Of course, you won't find that in any of the documentation. This friend only found out because he decided to telnet to the IP address associated with the E10 on his network.
Also, the official website for this thing has an abundance of fantastic English.

It's called quishing when a criminal gets you on the hook via a QR code and you hand over personal information such as credit card details, passwords and your home address.

There are many hooks in our everyday environment today.

QR codes are found in hotels, gas stations, museums, restaurants, medical centers and many other places you trust. It takes a second for a criminal to cover a QR code with his own sticker. How would you tell the difference?

Via the fake QR code you are guided through a flow that feels like what you expect. It's just controlled by someone with nefarious intent.

The German magazine Auto Motor Sport reported earlier this week about how this affects gas stations. per.ax/autoqr

Imagine scanning a QR code at a charging station to start charging your electric car. You enter your credit card details and press start. But the charging doesn’t start. Because you just gave your card details to a criminal who put their own QR code sticker on the charging station.

A clever criminal will perhaps display an error message on the web page and redirect you to the real supplier, enabling you to start charging for real. In which case you may not even notice that money is being covertly withdrawn from your account until much later... or blame the charging supplier who is completely unaware...

But of course it doesn't just affect charging stations. It can happen anywhere.

Queuing systems at sampling locations increasingly rely on QR codes here in Sweden. Let's say a criminal covers this code with their own. You will arrive at a page that asks if you want to join the queue or pay the patient fee of 50 kronor in advance. You may know that you do not have to pay a patient fee. But does everyone know that? Maybe some will bite and pay.

If you join the queue, you will be directed to the correct queue. So not much to react to. And if you have paid the 50 kronor, you will then also be led to the correct queue.

The fake QR code can therefore go undetected for a long time.

As a company, do you know if someone perhaps has already covered your code and is quietly using it to create intermediate flows that steal personal data, or money? Do you have routines to check this? In some places, fake QR codes may live on year in and year out. Like a dripping data leak.

QR codes are in many cases a really, really bad idea from a security and privacy perspective. And it can be a real setback for your brand if people are duped on your premises. Or on your products.

So, do you encourage people to scan, or do you warn?

If I see a QR code in everyday life, I also see many ways to intercept and abuse it.

How did this vulnerability appear just about everywhere? It's as if QR codes have completely gone under the radar of security departments.

I will restructure this post for my blog/newsletter later, but didn't want to wait with my warning, after seeing the clear example from charging stations.

Due to mistaken origins, turkeys have different names around the world! They are called Hindi, which means “From India,” in Turkey, turkee in India, and galopoúla or moan barang, which means “French chicken” in Greece and Cambodia. But that’s not it; they’re also called la Dinde, or “Chicken from India,” in France; the shichimencho, or “Seven-Faced Bird,” in Japan, as their faces change color based on their mood; the Dutch Chicken in Malaysia, and gà tây or “Western Chicken” in Vietnam.
Here is a Tom turkey, with his tail fanned outward.

Možná by mě za to velká část národa zaškatulkovala jako "divnýho architekta", ale vážně se mi líbí bytovky ze 60. a začátku 70. let. Třeba tady je vidět snaha architekta o určitej akcent středový části pomocí tmavší omítky a drobnýho vyvýšení atiky, malý okýnka symetricky na středu mají nadpraží zarovnaný se sousedícíma oknama, a zábradlí na balkonech (pořád původní) jsou zajímavě z jedný strany doplněný závětrnou stěnou. Škoda, že těch bytovek se takhle v původní podobě dochovává čím dál míň.
