brandonp0on Github scam investigation: Thousands of “mods” and “cracks” stealing data

It is easily solvable. But it has to be implemented on the receiving side. Ask your university to put something in place!

brandonp0on How I keep myself alive using Golang

There's also Loop on the iOS side: https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop. I've been using it for 7 or 8 years. There's also several pumps that have closed loop capabilities built-in, but I've found that they try so hard to play it safe that they are less capable than running your own.

brandonp0on Sigil II, a Doom WAD from J.Romero, has been released

I don't see a way. I'm sure you'll be able to start from the beginning once the stream is over.

brandonp0on ChatGPT with voice is now available to all free users

I'm not sure if there's a better way but I've typed out requests via text, and as part of the request I type "read the results to me when I ask for them" or something along those lines. Then I turn on the voice mode and make the request.

brandonp0on Icanhazip: A simple IP address tool survived a deluge of users (2021)

I made a site like this to mess with a guy at work. Everyone knew of IPChicken, and his last name is Herring, so I created IPHerring. I'd put Photoshopped images of him on the site for different holidays and coworkers always thought it was hilarious. They would even send me ideas of what to put next.

Now I sometimes use AI image generation tools to really make it stand out. It's been a lot of fun. A lot of the tech folks in my area are using it now.

brandonp0on Nobody wants touch-screen glove box latches

There's more than one storage area in the car. I use one of the center console spots for that.

brandonp0on Nobody wants touch-screen glove box latches

I didn't say I kept my valuables in the glovebox. I use the PIN to keep someone from getting hurt.

Right, but the average thief is probably not that familiar with a Tesla, and even if they are, these guys move very quickly. Their goal is to get in and get out and move to the next car. They're not going to sit there with an angle grinder unless they somehow know you have something good in there.

I keep a revolver in it.

I hate a lot of the touch screen controls in the Tesla - like AC controls. But the glovebox is actually pretty nice. Being software controlled means I can require a PIN to open it. Also, there's no handle so it doesn't even look like a glovebox is there. If someone breaks in they probably aren't getting to any valuables in the glovebox.
