  • Unfortunately a lot of rentals dont have their own laundry, or have to use a shared building laundry.

    At my last place we had to pay 3$ for a wash and 6$ for a dry. Had to use a credit/debit machine to load a card, and the machine was frequently broken, so I’d have to go to another building in the area to reload it, but I’d have to wait for someone to let me tailgate in the lobby.

    Just own it is like saying people should just buy homes or move to a better apt.






  • Im a security professional who works to harden medical devices. I use the flipper zero to easily test many different protocols that would be a pain in the ass to do “manually”.

    The flipper makes it easy for me to verify IR, sub GHz, USB, SPI, and many other protocols while being able to walk around the devices I test.

    Without the flipper I could totally do these checks with homebrew tools, a pi and an rtlsdr (unless thats gonna be illegal too?) But it would take me writing new tools and procedures rather than the ease of the flipper.

    Anybody in the know can tell you that the hardware isn’t anything special, and like many others have said, its like making a swiss army knife illegal cause the toothpick can be used to pick a lock.

    This isn’t gonna stop anybody, if pentest tools are showing flaws in your product, maybe we should send flippers to the car manufacturers and tell them to fix their shit. You shouldn’t be allowed to sell a car that can be wirelessly hacked like this, just like how the FDA doesn’t let you sell medical devices that can be hacked like that.

    You don’t just put the cat back in the bag…


  • I’m a torrenter with the sonarr radar lidarr prowlarr *arr setups.

    I’ve dabbled with Usenet and here’s my understanding.

    With torrents you’re all sharing something live, if you want ubuntu.iso and I have ubuntu.iso you can get it from me and many others who seed this file. A torrent tracker (or the dht) helps put us in touch so you know where the file is.

    With Usenet it’s more like I dead drop this file, zipped and encrypted(?) onto a Usenet news server. All the Usenet providers mirror each other or something like that, so if you’re on a diff provider than me that same file should still be available. Then I tell an indexer, like dognzb or nzbgeek that this file is in fact ubuntu.iso and not garbage data. When you want ubuntu.iso you ask the indexer, indexer gives you a link and you get the file.

    Beyond this, I don’t know about how much safer it is, but my immediate guess is that since you’re not seeding there’s less risk.

    Now if you’re really snobby like me, you’ll quickly realize that the release groups you’re used to aren’t as well represented. I’ve often landed in situations where episode 7 of 20 is missing on Usenet…

    As a snob, I’ve decided private trackers are probably the best place to be to keep my quality expectations satisfied.

    Hope this helps.
