flinth_··on Hackers activate automatic defrosting in supermarket fridges across Europe
Well, from my understanding, the write-up by the security company posted in the sub-tweet explain that it's not only the current date, it's just a weak algorithm that only uses the current date as seed, and only that. And this mechanism is complementary to regular auth, so admin password was _something_ but the bypass allowed you (if you reverse engineered the algorithm) to login without knowing it.

So that's still a firmware issue indeed for me, no admin set voluntarly its password to current date.

The write-up in question: https://claroty.com/team82/research/freeze-the-controller-de...

flinth_··on Doks – Build a Docs Site
Damn, I should stop assuming everything posted is brand new...

Thanks for the check, but weird none of the solutions put the other one in their environmental study.

flinth_··on Doks – Build a Docs Site
I don't know who was first but their "Environmental impact" (https://getdoks.org/docs/start-here/environmental-impact/) page is a rip-off of the Startlight's (Astro theme for docs) one: https://starlight.astro.build/environmental-impact/ But without mentionning Starlight, which does better for Co² emissions.

And a lot of their other pages and the overall look & feel too seem copy/pasted (authoring, getting started...).

Not that this have huge value, but it doesn't bring confidence and I just made my doc on Starlight I would've like to see a page comparing the two since they're very similar. Why going with this one over the competitors ?
