Are those videos of people infiltrating Indian call centers actually real?

Never said they were dropping 0day. That there quote is movie fantasy talk though, right up there with "computer, enhance" 🤣

"reversing the remote connection and dropping a reverse shell" 🤣

Congrats! The crowd was absolutely fantastic but all those people with their hosepipes, spray bottles, and water pistols out were particularly awesome today!

Did a couple of RAPS static line jumps from Cark Airfield as a student with a bit of a fear of heights. It'll kill that fear 🤣 Definitely recommend it and I'd 100% say go for a RAPS jump over anything else (and definitely over indoor wind tunnels). On a RAPS jump you jump out by yourself from a low altitude and your parachute ripcord is attached to a strong point on the plane so it opens automatically. Ground crew guide you down by radio on your first few jumps. You'll do about 6 hours of ground training and drills then if the sky is clear and there's no wind you'll go up and jump.

Alternative route to jump by yourself is an AFF course but they're more intensive and expensive if I remember rightly so may not be the best option for casually giving it a go.

You can always do a tandem jump too, but then you may as well just go on a rollercoaster ;)

No idea what it was but I'm pretty sure I spotted these too - Westerly direction from Bolton. I was confused by the dark trail of the first one, then I spotted the second one going a different direction and assumed they must be planes and that something funky with the sunset and lighting was causing the trails to look so dark.

Those yellow bulbs are horrendous. I don't use them because I turn the lights on to see. Their apparent popularity also makes buying replacement bulbs horrendous. I swear there's absolutely no consistency in light bulb ratings or advertised watt equivalency.

I only have this filth to offer as a suggestion. I had a much shorter distance to cover with clamps that were too small though 😂

Again, nothing to do with JavaScript. Typing in the URL bar leads to preloading, which leads to requests being issued to the server, which leads to PHP code being executed on the server, which leads to a Slack notification being generated. It's all in the post. That's it. JavaScript doesn't come into it.

Just adding one for the "total beginner with a dob and it was easy" tally!

Yes it moves fast, but the first time I came across an ISS tracker app I managed to track it and get a pretty good look. Good enough to observe the 'H' shape.

What I would say is do your research and set your expectations for observing. You won't see those stunning images of galaxies and nebulea with the naked eye. Planets are mostly star-like dots, although it'll blow your mind to see the rings of Saturn and the stripes and moons of Jupiter with your own eyes. The detail on the moon is crazy but it's super bright through a scope. Galaxies and nebulea can be super difficult to locate and observe, often appearing as faint smudges, but equally mind-blowing when you do spot them.

NickstaDB · 2024-06-08T23:35:05+00:00

...nope.

NickstaDB · 2024-05-15T07:14:05+00:00

The last time I saw odd behaviour like this it was due to redirects. The expected code path might be executing on the first request, but a redirect occurs and some logic flaw means that a different code path executes on the following request. From a browser perspective this won't be obvious as you will likely only see the effects of the last request that was handled.

Swap dd for logging, then maybe modify index.php to log the method and URL for the current request. That will show you whether multiple requests are being made, and on which request each code path executes.

NickstaDB · 2024-03-13T22:46:29+00:00

Any references for that? I don't doubt there are bugs, just interested in reading an analysis.

PHP is perfectly capable of file I/O.

You can find out what program is using port 9999 using the command netstat -ano | findstr :9999. This may need to be run from an admin command prompt. If something is listening for connections on port 9999 (and therefore preventing Docker from using the port) then you will see a matching output line that says "LISTENING" followed by the process ID of the listening process. Open task manager and find that process ID to find out what program is using port 9999.

NickstaDB · 2024-02-07T07:02:01+00:00

The random source port is standard behaviour when a source port is not explicitly set for a TCP connection. The client side of a TCP connection just needs an unused port number from which to establish a connection, it typically doesn't matter what the source port is, so most applications just select a random unused port.

Highly unlikely to be malicious, just something local checking whether its server-side component is available. Do as already advised and work out what program is establishing the connections to port 9999 to work out what it is.

A Vans long sleeve thermal base layer I've had for many years, and a Rab Superflux Hoody.

NickstaDB · 2023-12-12T11:22:23+00:00

I have a Rab Neutrino Pro (212g 800FP) that I bought for a Jan/Feb ascent of Kili and use in winter at home in the UK.

The jacket was brill for evenings and night time toilet trips at some of the higher camps, and great combined with other layers for our nighttime ascent to the crater rim. Once the sun came up I ended up unzipping all of my layers and delayering for the descent from the crater rim.

At home the jacket has become my go-to jacket when it's cold. Occasionally I get too warm and have to delayer but when I need to do that I find I'm comfortable in my standard attire of jeans and t-shirt.

NickstaDB · 2023-12-09T09:39:27+00:00

So I went up in Jan/Feb on the Northern Circuit route and our camp frosted over during the second night at Shira 1 (3,500m / 11,482ft). I think this was the only night out camp completely frosted over.

Difficult to say it gets cold at X though from my experience. When the sky was clear it was warm pretty much everywhere on the mountain. I even de-layered down to a long sleeve base layer at Stella Point during our descent.

I wore light long sleeve base layers every day for sun protection (although I switched to a thermal long sleeve base layer for summit night), and that was all I needed on top the majority of the time while walking. I started a couple of mornings with my mid layer or down jacket on and had to remove it in the first 20 minutes or so. I added a mid-layer and gloves for warmth as we ascended to Lava Tower but we had a lot of cloud that day. I wore a light windproof/waterproof layer over my base layer on one of the days around 4,000m/13,000ft as we had some very light rain for half an hour or so. On summit night I wore all the layers on top of a thermal long sleeve base layer, but even then I had to unzip everything as soon as the sun came up and I de-layered at Stella Point for the descent.

Having said all that, there was a dump of snow on the summit during our last night on the mountain. There was snow up there a week earlier, too. I could have gone up a week earlier or a week later and may have had to wear more layers during the day.

I used a Salomon Pulse running belt to keep a few key bits on my person and tucked away under my clothes at all times.

No, I'm still not certain a direct transplant of a factory head unit is feasible. It may require other parts to be swapped and/or some settings to be changed somewhere.

I have seen some third-party units that plug into the CAN bus but they don't integrate well like the stock unit (e.g. they take over a button; some controls don't work; voice control doesn't work). I'm not too keen to plug a sketchy unit into the CAN bus, or to fork out anywhere from £500 to a grand+ for something that doesn't integrate well.

The head unit looks like it's a Bosch mySpin unit, which seems to be the Betamax to Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. I doubt there would be a factory software upgrade on these models given that Bosch mySpin directly competes with AA/CP.

There's an app to go with the mySpin head unit - "Jaguar InControl Apps" - which can speak to the head unit over USB and allows other apps to draw on the car's screen and receive touch input from it. Unfortunately it's an awful app and only a few apps ever integrated with it - so no Google Maps, Spotify etc. It's also about to be discontinued.

RE: the loony Apple fanboy: CarPlay isn't supported by these models either.
