mkoryak··on Bipartisan Legislation to Ban TikTok
I am not under 30 by a decade.

I installed tiktok and it was all videos of people getting gross ear wax out and popping giant zits. Maybe I swiped the wrong way or something.

This is not digital fentanyl, its more like digital Ipecac syrup.

I uninstalled tiktok

mkoryak··on The Legasov Tapes (2019)
where are the original tapes? I didn't see them on the site linked.. but I didnt look that hard. I assumed they were not easy to find because not everyone speaks russian who reads that site.
mkoryak··on Ask HN: Someone is proxy-mirroring my website, can I do anything?
well actually...

there was another time a site hotlinked to a js file. After asking them to stop, i found that they had a contact form with a homebrew captcha which created the letters image like http://evilsite.com/cgi-bin/captcha.jpg?q=ansr

A little while later, their captcha form had a hidden input appended with the correct answer value, and the word to solve was changed to a new 4 letter word from a dictionary of interesting 4 letter words. The form still worked because of the hidden input. I might have changed the name on the "real" input also.

because I asked them to stop doing it, and they didn't. Technically they were stealing my bandwidth.

Also to teach them an important lesson about the internet.

> They are stripping all JS

Are they now?

Add a `visibility: hidden` to random elements on the page, and show them with javascript.

OR

Are they removing _all_ js? Have you checked whether they remove `<body onclick="some javascript code that injects some other code">` ?

You can try to do script injection _into your own site_ to see if their mirroring software is smart enough to deal with all the different xss vectors.

Bonus points: if they remove your <body onhover=>` attribute, add a style like

body { display: none} body[onhover='the js code that they will remove'] {display: block}

I like how you think. These are all great ideas!

Reminds me of a time some real estate website hotlinked a ton of images from my website. After I asked them to stop and they ignored me I added an nginx rewrite rule to send them a bunch of pictures of houses that were on fire.

For some reason they stopped using my website as their image host after that.

mkoryak··on The economy is the biggest bubble in world history, says Robert Kiyosaki
I keep seeing articles like this.

"Some guy" who said "bad thing would happen", and it did, is now saying "another bad thing well happen really soon".

I can never remember them to check up later if that thing happened or not.

This guy in particular has said a lot about what will happen soon

mkoryak··on The Marquee Element
Everyone hates this element, but what I hate even more than this element are implementations of this element using modern html+js+css.

mkoryak··on $118 16TB SSD on Amazon, 4 star reviews mention cuff links and coffee cups
Don't buy anything from there unless you're ok with it being probably a counterfeit, or a real product but with fake reviews.

Amazon is AliExpress with faster shipping and higher prices.

mkoryak··on Video gaming may be associated with better cognitive performance in children
I’d be a very different person if I played more video games when I was young.

I spent a lot of my time outside exploring and playing games with my friends. Later in college when a lot of my peers were playing counter strike all day long I got into programming because I always wanted to learn how to do it.

mkoryak··on Liz Truss resigns as UK prime minister
Clicked it, but didn't notice the video description, did see a huge amount of people talking and saying mostly nonsense.

I did go back to find it. It's 2 clicks away from clicking the link.

mkoryak··on Teenager solves stubborn riddle about prime number look-alikes
My daughter is in 3rd grade and is bored with her math lessons, so I started to do my own nightly math lessons. Long division was a big hit, but what I really want is to find some accessable number theory material, preferably about interesting patterns. Any recommendations?

Probably something in the 10-15 age range, or 8-10 and originally in Russian

Serious question:

How do they know that? I assume killnet does not have a static IP address and doesn't leave it's return address

mkoryak··on ThinkPad’s 30th Anniversary: An Insider’s Perspective
Anyone here know if it's possible to fix a t43p cooling fan that sounds like a bumblebee?

I doubt I can find a replacement

mkoryak··on ThinkPad’s 30th Anniversary: An Insider’s Perspective
The T42p is one of the best laptops ever made (in my opinion).

I saved for months and bought one using a friend's IBM employee discount.

I remember thinking that I wouldn't need to ever buy another laptop again.

I still have it and it works fine. I wrote this on it.

Edit: and there is another java update!!

I wanted to see the tape unwind from one side and wind on the other as it played. Maybe it does this but slowly. If not, it's an opportunity lost.

mkoryak··on 134.5 kg Concrete Bike [video]
It didn't look abandoned, it looked ugly as shit, but definitely not abandoned.

Sadly I can't find pics. It was not a bike that photographed well.

mkoryak··on 134.5 kg Concrete Bike [video]
when I lived in JP (a part of Boston) I made my commuter bike "unstealable" by taping it and putting joint compound all over the frame. The thing was ugly as sin and looked at lot like this bike.

I could leave it locked with one of those cheap combination cable locks, and no one ever took it.
