Our hacker movie podcast series is back! And we kicked things off with a banger: SNEAKERS. The great @dcuthbert.bsky.social joined @dennisf.bsky.social to break down this classic and its lasting effect on the hacker community. youtu.be/b9uIocMMFlw?...

1/ Hi, I'm TProphet. I write the Telecom Informer for @2600.com. A lot of people have been asking me about www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... given that I'm somewhat knowledgeable in the area. Here's my take: I'm kind of astonished that this is public, and it isn't normal that it would ever be.

And on the seventh day…

Finally got my Kodak Vision3 motion picture film scans back of Thailand. Low light, playing with colour and I'm super happy with these. Really sums up the vibe that is Silom, BKK and I do miss my old home

Me to friend: hey I just wanna stop at this truck stop in the desert coz something caught my eye... 20 mins later, the Mamiya 43mm doesn't disappoint Valley of Fire, Nevada

Disassembling a new iPhone 7 pro Max and using a CNC mill to decap Friggin amazing. youtu.be/7M60g09HB1M?...

That’s it. The most perfect Boiler Room ever. youtu.be/rAOHJqJMYDA?... Must be getting old when tears came at the end. I can die now

There’s been over 1000 AI bills introduced across the US, with only 4 being passed (CA, UT, CO & TX). Interestedly none look at actual safety and security of AI systems, but the use. That’s a massive oversight I feel. We need more secure AI systems Interesting times tho

You know when you’re an absolute nerd when the coach of your kids football team asks you to collect stats for this season and you end up building an app with a backend and huge plans for data analysis

There aren’t many songs out there that truly show you the benefit of good speakers/cans. This is one of them youtube.com/playlist?lis... Hearing the channels and background sounds is just heavenly. A bit like The Doors

@henkvaness.bsky.social is ibiza boss level 10! He's gone and created a truly great resource for journalists and others in media so they can look for AI generated content and not be fooled. This is the kind of research I love and respect gijn.org/resource/gui...

If you want to understand the struggle anyone doing input validation has, just look at ver 16.0 of the unicode standard: unicode.org/versions/Uni... Unicode 16.0 adds 5185 characters, for a total of 154,998 characters 244 pages. yeah, good luck with that. <script>alert('𐒀𐒁𐒂')</script>

NGL, getting them have excited me a lot.

Of all the web technologies we’ve had and lost, I miss RSS the most. I controlled how I consumed the content, not how an algorithm decides. That and google reader

Honestly, learning how the greats created and sampled their beats is nothing but pure pleasure. Havoc and Mobb Deep. Just so so good www.instagram.com/reel/DGyEzFg...

Sigh, they grow up so quickly. LD1 fitted his first atmospheric dump valve today. Proud dad moment

A new project: 144mb of Infamy A few weeks back, I started a bit of a passion project. I wanted to capture the faces of the '90s and early 2000s hacking scene using the tech of the time. We're talking a Sony Mavica camera and a vintage computer for editing.

Felt it was time to upgrade my camera processing setup and get with the times. You know, modernise and all that. Dual monitors. 1.25gb ram AND g4 PowerPC. Unhackable as all those who could write shellcode for this chip now have back pain.

Heaven truly is a perfectly balanced Lancia delta integrale, a summers evening and winding country roads. This car. Oh my days it is that amazing

Solid, SOLID, side-channel work by Sahan Sanjaya, Aruna Jayasena & Prabhat Mishra: arxiv.org/pdf/2507.22306

I mean we’ve had some truly epic badges over the years. Joe Grands truly beautiful quartz one from DC27 that used near field magnetic induction to interact with other badges. A true work of art if you ask me

Totes ok. Just @defcon.bsky.social tings

Next up a solid piece of hardware engineering from @largecardinal.bsky.social where he became a blood diamond trader to make a quantum badge info.defcon.org/content/?id=... Also on dctv.defcon.org

Preach!!!

Valley of fire is fire

Earning badges and smiles. Thanks

Annual pilgrimage to vegas begins and with that is the yearly “what camera and stock shall I take for the desert?” This year I will be tinkering with infrared, and I think shooting red rock Canyon/Valley of Fire with this emulsion should be pretty damn impressive.

I struggle with peoples names I just met but I tell ya, I can recite most of the Sisters of Mercy songs like a boss. The brain is wild

Here we go again. Grains of rice.

Utterly gorgeous. 79 and 69 land boats in Marbella

That last quote is why this should be mandatory listening for all

And this is why EVs will never appeal to me. www.instagram.com/reel/DL0zVk9...

As an old rave head and one who was heavily involved in that scene, this hurts deep: ra.co/news/83223 RIP bruv www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW4Y...

Hardware reverse engineering day and it's hard to not groove and look into the microscope with this on very loud: youtu.be/ghAEFnxCqdY?... 3:21, oh yes!!

Cool post: Why some satellites use NetBSD by André Machado mastodon.asdf.org/@machaddr/11...

When you have 42 kids having a LAN party at your house, and you are told that if the Ping isn’t low, there will be problems. This is gonna push my networking skills to the extreme I feel.

It's friday and debug day and this has been on repeat for ever www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyuY... Roots Manuva is such a national treasure.

From Russia With Love to one of the best 2000’s songs youtu.be/EXB5xiXcD3s?... Sampling is just amazing

I do love @cloudflare, they are brilliant but it's also hard when so many criminal sites make use of their security and tech to help mask and deliver malicious sites. https://evri.trackug[.]live/uk?hsc=OrT5Ah

The more I see prompt injection like this, the more it reminds me of first web apps and how they “stopped” XSS by blocking <script>

“Uncorrected data” Hey grok, show me visions of grandeur without actually showing me

“The guidance broadly encourages developers to adopt AI to boost productivity, enable faster iteration and enhance product development, however the importance of humans in maintaining security is stressed.” www.techradar.com/pro/google-i... Good.

Mwahah BOFH mode. Don’t wanna do ya chores my dudes? Ok ok cool cool

I've wondered for a very long time if modern life, architecture, and particularly automotive design have almost killed off an entire genre of photography that we grew up on and see as art.

scanning time. I’ve found after thirty years of making images, visiting them months after I took them helps me see and edit far better. I just have a deeper, more exciting approach when I forgot what I shot in a way. Like “oh wow yeah that worked”

this is the tech nerd shit I love: getting a 90’s BBS (impulse) working again youtu.be/YaYAEtwE8Es?...

it is madness when you hit a certain age and can throw your back out doing the simplest and most mundane task ever. Picking up a biscuit I dropped. Wtaf?

Us: yeah you cannot make a classic song any better Reflex: yes www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICxa... This. So much this
