When a CA issues an SSL/TLS certificate, they’re required to submit it to public CT logs (append-only, cryptographically verifiable ledgers). This was designed to detect misissued or malicious certificates.

Red and Blue team alike use this resource (crt.sh) to enumerate subdomains.

Yeah… No

I didn’t mean RFC Base32.

I meant human-safe alphabets.

Base58 or Crockford Base32 that intentionally remove I, L, O, and 1 (which is distinct from “base 32”).

RFC Base32 still hits the exact problem I’m ranting about.

To be clear the (vanilla) base32 version of the aforementioned string:

“I dont fucking know lots of lllllIIIIIIlllIII etc”

Outputs:

“JEQGI33OOQQGM5LDNNUW4ZZANNXG65ZANRXXI4ZAN5TCA3DMNRWGYSKJJFEUSSLMNRWESSKJEBSXIYY=”

You can use cyberchef to check for yourself.

This does not solve the problem.

I meant what I’d said: base 58.

As a job title: sysadmin

Loathe.

Every now and then there crops up the situation where there is no copy/paste from host to host. And when that involves a fucking product key or some shit… Mother fuckers just base 58 that shit.

What would you rather read and type?

Product key: “I dont fucking know lots of lllllIIIIIIlllIII etc”

Or…

Product key: “CqiDNKttsj1NUubpbVJ2VJL9eMEpRvRFMV3hNPRxtUX7SMox5UQjeEZX3DqqHNAfkSE”

I rest my case.

Jfc you just do both at the same time.

“Hey, I’m reaching out with regard to ticket 27472. I’ll need to remote into your device. You’ll see a notification that it’s happening. I just wanted to give you a heads up that the notification is expected behavior. Let me know if you have any questions!”

One message.

Do work.

“Hey again, the .zip is benign. Thanks for reaching out! Feel free to open it.”

They respond “thanks sorry I was at lunch”

“👍”

Never speak again.

Did you talk about this with your therapist? Bc you should.

My old therapist would refer to frustration as a resource we hoarde. We dump our frustration into a little water bottle, and when we’re not using adaptive coping mechanisms, we table it. But then later something frustrating happens (like your webcam experience), and though it is (truly) a minor setback, you’re stuck with this huge reaction. You got a stop hoarding your frustrations and learn to dump that water bottle out before it overflows.

This imagery is for me helpful because it helps me understand some disproportionate reactions I may have, and also quite clearly doesn’t shy away from negative emotion. Get angry, hell yeah. When it’s… Adaptive. This wasn’t adaptive.

Some poor web developer was told to implement this against their will. Hopefully they raised the concern. Report the site as abusive until their registrar takes them down. Should make for a fun week for that POS project manager.

My MX master thumb wheel scrolls the wrong way on one application and I can’t fix it. Good and mild. Every time ‘ugh, fucker.’

I was studying classical guitar. I was practicing piece and literally YouTube video results on my PC for learning the piece before searching for it.

Only network traffic to indicate was downloading a .PDF on my chrome browser on my phone. This was in like 2012.

Yep. Amazon knew my gf and I were moving in together.

People need to realize that Amazon has them locked in.

I needed a tall mini fridge for a garage. Cheapest I could find was fucking $700.

I went into a nearby home appliance store and got the same one for fucking ~$200. Granted I had to pay for an $80 delivery, but it still beats the shit out of every option for a 7 cu ft fridge on Amazon.

Here’s a very simple example.

What’s 3^3?

Or,

Well it’s 3x3x3

Which is 3+3+3, 3 times.

Which is 3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3, which is 27.

Which solution do we prefer?

3^3 = 27?

Or

3+3+3

+3+3+3

+3+3+3

=27?

Which one uses more lines?

Linus from LTT asks Linus if he’d ever heard of software developers being terminated based on how many lines of code they’d written .

Linus Torvalds responds “Anyone who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company…”

It’s clear Torvalds doesn’t know who this is about when questioned.

Linus hints to him it’s about Musk.

“Apparently I was spot on [about Elon Musk being such and individual who is too stupid to work at a tech company].”

Glad to hear. Lesson learned: The panic you felt sucked. It was thankfully $7 to resolve. Next time it might not be.

Back up your stuff 3 times, in at least two places. 🙂

You got two options. Both suck.

1. Call support. Have fun. I’d rather rip out my eyeballs in this scenario because you’re not a paying customer. You will get the shit-tier service, will likely be hung up on, and reexplain the situation to 3+ individuals over the course of 4 hours and ultimately get nothing done.

2. Resubscribe. Finish the job. The odds of your accounts db being wiped are kinda slim. Sucks because you do what you explicitly sought to avoid: pay Microsoft.

I recently looked at my emails spam filters and my goodness. I’ve built a monstrosity over a few decades here.

Idk of any good series but techno Tim has a great video on using cloudflare and traefik to get wildcard letsencrypt ssls for your docker services.

I think the bulk of users are running discarded junk and raspberry pis.

That was me, I built a ~$5k rig and now some of what I’m doing is just nonsense of a typical self hoster, so the point is somewhat valid, but even those like me mostly started out with discarded junk and raspberry pis.

Docker used to scare me until I tackled a project that required me to use it. Then I realized I learned it without knowing I’d learned it.

Are the two servers on the same LAN? Did you update all configs for the new servers address?
