Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Surprisingly good action and a decent plot to boot.

Me: [remembering girls like vampires] in order to harvest their blood

Aren't we bringing about an era where you can't trust what you see or hear, unless it comes from a source you trust?

Essentially aren't we just reverting back to 1800s where news came from newspapers of reputation, and hearsay came from elsewhere

I have to admit that this conjures up more horror vibes than anything

Uhh.. these projects are the backbone of the free and modern web. How is less funding a good thing?

cd ~/repos/work-project27
git checkout dev
git branch new_feature
### code for a few hours, close laptop, go to sleep, next morning
git checkout dev
### code for a few more hours, close laptop go to sleep, next morning
## "oh fuck, I already implemented this in new_feature but differently"
git checkout dev
git diff new_feature
## "oh no. oh no no no. oh fuck. I can't merge any of this upstream and my history is borked."
git clone git@workhub:work/work-project work-project28
cd ~/repos/work-project28

And the budget isn't insane either.
During dev he blew through 5 grand (high for an individual, but nothing compared to some startups)
For production, apparently building one of these yourself with the materials he's provided would cost $1500 -- again, really not that astronomical

This is really shining a lens on some companies charging $2000 for mid-tier laptop with half these features.
I'm... quite excited that we're entering a new era of hardware, which would put an end to these needless hardware companies

Try some Anime with some more mature intrigue:

• Apothecary Diaries (Detective series from a medical/herbalogical perspective)
• Frieren (the aftermath of being an immortal and watching your friends die)

Same, I found my flashlight that way

shakily points to an Etch-a-Sketch

I have a small PC I use for exposing a private PC to the wider web via nginx proxy. It had two accounts on it: mine, and one I called "remote" with some basic password I set up to forward the proxy connection.

One day, this machine started making 100% CPU noises, for several hours. Wtf? I check the processes and a Tor node had been setup and was transmitting gigabytes to some Russian IP.

My brain goes into panic mode, I kill the process, wipe the remote user, and eventually pull the Ethernet plug.

I wish I hadn't wiped the user directory as I wanted to know what was being sent and where. Nonetheless the logs showed that several Russian IPs had been attempting an SSH brute force for literally months and one finally guessed "remote" and weak password I set for it.

I have decades of experience on Unix system, and I cringe having made such a rookie mistake.

Lesson learned: change the default SSH port to a transient port, have one dedicated SSH user with a non-standard username, and use auth-key entry only.

I still wonder what was being sent over that Tor node, and why it required all the CPU cores. My best guess is crypto mining, or it was used for a DDOS attack net somewhere.
