What is Hackers' Pub?

으아아악 방금 천둥 언청 크게 침

it's frustrating that these two things are true:

1. learning rust has made me much more able to reason about and detect concurrency bugs in JS

2. I do not know how to convey this ability to other people beyond telling them to learn rust

took an existing regex that catches sql injections and added on to it.

/[^\x3c]*?(?:\x27|%27|\x2d{2}|%2d%2d)?(?:(?:S(?:HOW.+(?:C(?:UR(?:DAT|TIM)E|HARACTER.+SET)|(?:VARI|T)ABLES)|ELECT.+(?:FROM|USER|SLEEP|CONCAT|CASE))|U(?:NION\x20SELEC|PDATE.+SE)T|DELETE.+FROM|INSERT.+INTO)|S(?:HOW.+(?:C(?:HARACTER.+SET|UR(DATE|TIME))|(?:VARI|T)ABLES)|ELECT.+(?:FROM|USER))|U(?:NION.+SELEC|PDATE.+SE)T|(?:NULL(?:\x2c|%2[cC])){2,}|(?:\x2f|%2[fF])(?:\x2a|%2[aA]).+(?:\x2a|%2[aA]).+(?:\x2f|%2[fF])|CONCAT.+SELECT|EXTRACTVALUE|UNION.+ALL)/i it's an arcane mess, but it catches a good bit.

@mcc@mastodon.social this makes me want to build a website that only ONE person can ever view at a time, I want it to literally just timeout anyone after a single person is viewing it (until they stop and someone else views it).... I think that could count as art? lol

/7 All it does is say “this particular narrow human communication can’t be used as evidence.” But to the American mindset, that’s the same as endorsing crime. That is the thinking of a people who have embraced the totalitarian mindset.

So ARPANET had a famous "Flag Day" where they switched over to TCP/IP in 1983; it required a simultaneous switchover of all host machines to the new protocol. And I know that "flag day" has since referred to big changes like that in networked systems. I assumed the name referred to some bitwise flags set in packet headers. Turns out, the term comes from Multics, when similar coordination was required for an encoding change. It happened on actual US Flag Day 1966!

Never thought I'd see that day, but thanks to AI, @tanstack.com react-query now has, for the first time ever, more downloads than react-redux 🤯

so normal people aren't conscious of making eye contact the entire time they're doing it and constantly calculating how long they should do it and wondering if they're doing it right and constantly asking 'is this good? have I done it long enough? should I stop? is it weird now?'

huh

okay. back from vacation, done with a very unpleasant 24-hour stomach bug, done with post-flight headache, almost done with this annoying nechache, starting to feel like a normal human and contend with the 200+ tasks that have piled up in my weeks on the road. I guess I have a little bit of breathing room here so I will just have a look at what is going on in the news first…

… okay so more puking it is then

a pragmatist is someone who realizes you can absolutely place an artillery battery atop the unnavigable mountain if your corps only carries it piece by piece on foot

one who calls themselves a pragmatist but says that difficult thing is unreasonable simply wraps their despair in a fiction of reason

@mariattaMariatta 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve been thinking of a similar app for years, for “magic numbers” in general. Hat size. Shirt measurements. Wife’s ring size. Things that have a single numerical answer you don’t need often enough to actually remember, and are annoying to find out when you do.

If only someone wrote a cross platform Python mobile app framework…. 🤔🤣

New, by me: A Middle East surveillance vendor has been caught exploiting a new attack in SS7, a set of protocols used by phone carriers, that can trick a phone operator into disclosing a person's phone location without their knowledge.

このところ日本の交通機関の乗車券としてNFC付きの物理クレジットカードを使えるようになったという記事をいくつかみかけた。NFCでクレカから得られる公開鍵があれば、それをキーとして交通機関側で有効な乗車券を確認したり、もっと慎重にするならデジタル署名で私有鍵があることを検証したりするのかしら、と思って読み進めるとGoogle Payでは利用できないとのこと。買い物のときとは違うプロトコルがあるんだろうか…

Perhaps the digression was unnecessary

At #PyLadiesCon 2024, our volunteers did a lot of work such as: video production and editing, translation, and transcribing. Other conferences work AV team, but PyLadiesCon didn't. It was all volunteers and a lot of work.

This year, we're trying to ease volunteer overwork, so we contacted AV vendor, asked what it would cost them to do all of this.
One vendor said 8K - 13K USD 😵

Moral of the story:
- Say thanks to volunteers.
- Sponsor conferences.
The end.

What I'm listening to today: "Wanted", Hiromi

Some chill loungey jazz by a Japanese pianist and her band. Wonderful feel.

This is the kind of music that trip hop was processed from and I believe trip-hop fans should listen to some of the raw uncut stuff once in a while, perceive the woman who casts the shadow. Actually I'm not sure there ARE any trip-hop fans under 40. Maybe liking Portishead in 2025 is the equivalent of liking jazz in 1998. But I did like jazz in 1998

I used to characterize my safety in life as being a consequence of being better at many things than other people

And as much as that is materially somewhat true in our current system, it's unhealthy as hell to base so much in your own psyche on comparison with others. (Luckily the really toxic behaviors that can stem from this I rarely exhibited outwardly, but I did a lot of damage to myself)

So now I realize I am legitimately amazing at certain things, and I would like to find more ways to help others be amazing at some of those things too
