Command it to flicker mysteriously when someone arrives / walks past (perhaps determined by a new Bluetooth device like a phone being seen with a signal strength above some threshold?). Or, set up an anemometer. On nights with dramatic weather, as the wind gusts you can trigger spooky flickering. Or via lightning strike data off the internet.

I’m not sure why my mind went to making your house haunted, but there you go…

They just don’t do bank robberies like they used to…

Well… since “we” could be interpreted to include Billy Joel and the listener… that’s two more!

wish my PC could do that… so cool…

the article mentions 69 being skipped as well. I assume it’s pretty simple, just check it against the list and increment until it’s valid.

int getNextOrderNumber(int currentNumber) {
    currentNumber++; 
    while(isBanned(currentNumber)) {
        currentNumber++; 
    } 
    return currentNumber; 
} 

where bool isBanned(int orderNumber) simply checks the order number against the banned list and returns true if it’s not allowed.

I am not sure lol. perhaps your ssh port isn’t exposed to the internet, or maybe the bots are just ignoring you? maybe your hosting provider has some sort of security process to reject those attempts preemptively?

I have no clue

so fun to look through the ssh log and see hundreds of attempts…

unfortunately as far as I know RCS is closed down. only Google messages on android and iMessage on iOS support it (maybe some other proprietary options, but no FOSS options).

yeah, you can’t really buy a car that doesn’t have mobile data for “telemetry” (your driving data is sold to insurance companies)

even base trims get some phone app stuff, meaning there’s the ability to execute commands on the car. so, if they really wanted, there’s nothing stopping automakers from bricking your car, gas or EV, because they feel like it.

yipee…

it seems like the brick walls in my case really impede signal. connection across the sides of the chimney, which is brick, seem to suffer a lot.

my favorite part is that it’s clearly the outline of Pennsylvania on the shirt. I want one.

“it’s all good guys, I just need to run doom!”

Oooh, they work with it? … my family still has these as actual WiFi routers. the coverage kinda sucks.

the mold is just taste testing it for you. if it’s grown, you know the bread must be delicious and healthy!

The drone may not return to the pilot at all. For many military purposes drones are easily expendable.

Yep. My pan gets hand washing with a few drops of soap after every use and it’s fine.

Lye, or sodium hydroxide, strips the seasoning layers. It used to be used in soap. People use it when restoring cast iron in the modern day to strip old seasoning off. Then they can start againt and re-seaaon!
