ObiKenobi··on WriteUp: 16 Bytes of x86 that turn Matrix rain into sound
My most favourite demo is "Freespin" which runs entirely on a floppy drive without a computer. Crazy stuff.

ObiKenobi··on Incident Report: CVE-2024-YIKES
The maintainer of left-justify receives his YubiKey from yubikey-official-store.net. It is a $4 USB drive containing a README that says “lol.”

Got me seriously laughing... Such a troll.

ObiKenobi··on Notes on Apple's Nano Texture (2025)
It is not, you did what I usually do, read the title and jump directly into comments. It's a special coating which works differently to standard matte screens wich makes it way superior.
ObiKenobi··on Google Antigravity just deleted the contents of whole drive
Shouldn't had in the first place.
ObiKenobi··on How long it takes to know if a job is right for you or not
I do not agree with the "you know within a week"-take. I'm now 14 years working in IT-Security. 9 of those years for the same company.

I got my next job through a headhunter. The first weeks I had a really good feeling of the company I liked it there after a few months it got worse and worse like they couldn't hide all the bad things anymore. I quit, next job was more or less the same. I quit. My current job? The first month I thought to my self "oh my god, where do I got here?", but now a six months in I really like it.

Maybe also other factors have some plays here like my move from consulting into an internal role, colleagues, the overall freedom, but imho it's hard to generalize something like that.
