After a 4-week backpacking trip (via NOLS), you're given the opportunity to write a letter to yourself that they would send to you in the future (can't remember how long, maybe a year). After 4 weeks of living out of a backpack in the Alaskan mountains, your perspective changes. They knew this and wanted you to give yourself a reminder of that perspective after it has faded back to the complexities of normal life. You really develop a different, and imo healthier, mindset about life.

I guess I'm just confused that it's labeled async (and does async work) but is actually blocking when invoked (or at least doesn't return until await finishes).

If I'm awaiting on two different results, I have to invoke them in parallel somehow, right? What is that mechanism and why doesn't that already provide asynchrony? Like, if the method was sync, couldn't I still run it async somehow?

But at what point are you calling await?

If I were using the author's library, I would call `.some_endpoint(...)` and that would return a `SpotifyResult<String>`, so I'm struggling to understand why `some_endpoint` is async. I could see if two different threads were calling `some_endpoint` then awaiting would allow them to both use resources, but if you're running two threads, doesn't that already accomplish the same thing? I'm pretty naive to concurrency.

What's the advantage of async if you immediately call await?

I think the DNS IPs are just example IPs to be scanned. You're not supplying a DNS to use for domain lookups. Using them in the example is perhaps confusing that there's some sort of DNS argument required.

I like this resource for starting a VM from a container image: https://github.com/alexellis/firecracker-init-lab

The Darknet Diaries episode "Zero Day Brokers" goes into this. Apparently Argentina hosts a lot of outsourced exploit development. Here's the transcript: https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/98/

Artists and/or their publisher own all tabs made for their song? How does that work?

I'm the same. Running just to run is agony. If I'm playing a sport, then I hardly notice it. Jiu jitsu is my workout of choice.

Can anyone speak to their experience with the atomic/immutable versions of Fedora (Onyx, Silverblue)? It sounds pretty interesting.

Everything is 404ing

I see this a lot too. It makes password spraying very easy. I don't see anything in the article about remediation. Do you have any info for disabling it?

Seems like a good opportunity for a bad actor.

While Russian gangs do have a lot of involvement, I don't think these particular casino hacks were attributed to any Russian group. Scattered Spider is attributed and is believed to be 19-22 year old's from US and UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattered_Spider

What kind of bandwidth usage should be expected from a DHT crawler like this?

I made something similar for my dog. Arduino Nano, GPS module, LoRa module, 18650 battery, and an antenna. I then had a "base station" using ESP8266 with a LoRa module and antenna that would forward the GPS data to the cloud. I was in a heavily wooded area and the LoRa signal would start dropping around 1000ft. I didn't know free SIM data was a possibility via Hologram.io or I probably would've gone that route.

I really don't like the idea of attaching a lithium ion battery to my dog's neck, and I never learned how to design PCB's, so I'd also like to revisit my project with some improvements.

I haven't looked too thoroughly, but this looks great. I'm kind of surprised they don't have CASB, tho.

Mine were also off (Win11). I also usually turn off anything like this, but I don't recall doing it recently.

Can I ask what your position/title is?

I'm getting 403'd on these links

Is there something similar for kids? I'm thinking under the age of 9 and haven't learned multiplication yet.

Can anyone recommend a non-electron alternative to Postman?

Why disheartening? What would you prefer?

Technically they can make the request. The server will receive and respond to the request. CORS is applied by the browser which prevents the response from being read. This is why CORS doesn't prevent a request from mutating something on a server. A CSRF token does.

I don't disagree with you, but I think parent's point still stands that "user hostile content" is defined by a company that could change their definition at any time.

I was visiting Central America when things started getting bad. I was told I could work from here, but now I'm told I either have to travel home (US) or lose my job. Based off this thread, I might take that risk of traveling home.
