GEBBL

It’s such an unfortunate name to use though!

Really tough on an already struggling airline. Wonder if their security team were fully in place recently?

And at the end of all this, you guys have Brexit. The UK is teetering on the cliff edge.

This is hilarious and I see how it could be used in a malicious context.

I did not recognise the username, but will take that into consideration for future. For me, it looked like a request for money and I felt it was not right, but I see I am mistaken and would like to apologise to Michele.

One blog post is not enough to warrant a request for money. How do you know they are even telling the truth?

Oh so there is a paywall? That sucks

There is only one post on the blog and it is front page of hacker news? That is some achievement! Are there more writings from this author?

I follow infosec twitter and it seemed to me some really good security folk got laid off. Pretty eye raising. Hope they get sorted soon.

Hmm, it’s stopped happening for me now.

Damn, why are TechCrunch hijacking the browsers back button behaviour? I had to close down my browser instance complete and then open a new one to come back to this thread. Awful.

Apologies dang, I’ll keep this in mind in future :)

Impressive of the American news channel, CNN, to convert images in minus one second.

Some of this stuff is like black magic to me! Absolutely brilliant to see this in the public domain.

Someone who scanned the front page and didn’t delve into these comments might infere that the American news network CNN artificially generate images for their news stories. That’s how I picked this up.

This is amazing! I’ve used binwalk extract for ‘capture the flag’ challenges but I never really thought about the practical applications of it. Wow! Thank you

How interesting that that is the reason for the 80char limit default setting of many terminal apps!

Is there a non paywalled version of this article anywhere?

Some light Saturday reading

You read enough of these ‘quitting social media’ articles over the years that you almost know word for word how the linked article is going to go.

Please, someone, do the needful.

Children don’t play with toys anymore. The amount of McDonald’s junk that gets dumped is shocking. It’s time these toys weee done away with!

The nice thing about Jekyll is that you can just find a nice looking theme and then fork it, edit the config.yml file with your specifics, such as name/address/etc and then publish.

Posts go under the posts folder, uploaded as md files. It's very nice and clean. You can host a site on github pages and point your .com to their DNS servers.

It frees you up to focus on writing, and you have the benefit of markdown there if you need it.

Makes you wonder why a simple blog site needs to be interacting with a DB and making mad calls all over the place, with loads of insecure plugins and all the rest of it. Just give me simplicity :)

And Moodymann! What a scene

I live in Ireland. I regularly get amazon packages delivered without any issues. I have ordered items from China via China post and they have arrived too. I don’t think I’ve had a missing package in years.

This is just my situation, but I wonder if those who have had a single negative experience shout the loudest sometimes.

Expect a knock on the door from the Information Commissioners Office.

I’ll summarise for anyone who is time short: ‘become a business owner, get other people to make you rich’.

Here in Ireland we got around this by providing a small sum of money (agreed by parents) in a card in lieu of cheap presents. That way the child gets to put the money towards savings, or a great present like a computer game.

Me too, and this has a knock on effect as my six year old son likes to play some of my games and I don't reset the controls for him!

Thank you!
