I have worked in a bike shop that also did e-scooter repairs, which was my main job.

The work is shitty, so most shops stop offering it. Debugging issues can take hours. Finding parts is a nightmare. People furious why it takes weeks for parts to arrive from China. Parts that are advertised as compatible but aren’t.

I’m glad I don’t have to do that any more.

One recommendation from my side: stick to the big brands (Xiaomi, Segway, etc). Your scooter WILL fail sooner or later. These are the most repairable and the parts are easy to source.

I agree wholeheartedly with this article, however, it’s giving vibe-authored

It’s an amazing business model, if you think about it: the research is paid for my the government, the researchers then send it to the publisher for free, unpaid academics are doing the review for free, and then all universities pay for subscription access (with money that largely also comes from the government).

Input is free, the work is done for free, and then the output is wildly expensive, but paid for by tax payers.

But if someone even mentions guillotines people get mad.

Same, but SOAD

Absolutely this. Even if you had fancy jails or docker setups for each submission, this will be a nightmare to properly handle. Students DOSing each other exactly before the submission deadline, too.

I use mine with utmost regularity: once every 6 months

Subnautica is my favorite game of all time. Below zero was fine, but removed some of the magic.

Now seeing Subnautica 2 completely derailed makes me very sad. I had high hopes.

Hot damn is my self-hosted Forgejo hot right now.

What does your typical day look like? And how does an absolutely bonkers day look like?

I have a simple setup where I use the Obsidian web clipper to save web pages and Syncthing to have the Obsidian vault synced to my Boox Go 10.3. Works like a charm.

Can’t wait to find hallucinated data in your uncompressed files.

Side loading is not impossible even without jailbreaking your device, as long as you don’t mind “reactivating” the side loaded app every 30 days. There are tools that make it quite easy to do.

lol, even if the investigation is politically motivated, the findings might - and probably will - be quite objectively illegal, traitorous, immoral, etc

Would be a real pity if someone Luigi’d a few of them

So let me get this straight: past, current and future lawsuits are cancelled, or on indefinite hold because of „political interference“ and „presidential immunity“ but he can sue whoever the fuck he wants? Make it make sense, America.

Having some financial trouble and I’m unsure if the money will run out before the next paycheck.

It’s the Data Science craze all over again. Hope we’re done with this soon.

I am outraged, a plea deal to avoid life imprisonment? What the fuck did I just read?!

This guy trafficked, raped and tortured her, and other underage women. Police did jack shit. And she was supposed to be watching him just walk away? Grotesque.

Yes, I have been eyeing a soft switch into cybersecurity. Maybe not head-over-heels and maybe not entirely, but I do plan to have a significant part of my work to be in infosec.

For context, I am currently working as Tech Lead/Software Architect for a company that has a security-focused product (with an, as of today, 0 incident track record), but I work on design and scalability most days. When involved in security-related tasks, I mostly coordinate and sometimes implement security critical code under the guidance of our (small) security team.

I do have enough insight to have a positive impact on security related discussions on higher levels (think “lol, this proposed change opens up the endpoint to being exploited by x or y”) but not enough to discuss our cryptographic primitives.

In order to get my feet wet, I started doing THM (quite actively, yet I’ve hit a rut with the Windows-focused buffer overflow rooms), and I can say I enjoy it more than I expected.

However, I am unsure what concrete steps I should take after THM.

I’ve been thinking of working towards the OSCP exam, but honestly the certification landscape is quite confusing.
