I got it! Nicotine slammers! Patches that look like bubble wrap with a needle on one side.

You lay the needle side on a vein, and slam your free hand down hard on the patch. Instant injection!

I don't recommend HackTheBox

Yeah, that was one of the sites that went corporate. Seems worse than I thought.

Thank you for the info, comrade!

Edit: grammar, added thoughts.

 

Question for the c/tech crowd:

Are there any good hacking challenge websites still out there?

I know a few went away, a few went corporate, and I only found one to still exist as is. I'm looking for more as I want relearn some skills and get more advanced on other skills.

Help a brother out?

Ancient mysteries explained: The middle aisle in Aldi

I love this guy. And Aldi is dope, so is WinCo.

Lol, no trip, unless catching Covid and losing part of your mind counts.

Nope, just some doomerism about being stuck in the US when the bombs fall on it. It's not like I don't deserve it though. xi-plz

 

[Verse 1]
If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Callin' out, Father, oh, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside (High)
And if we should die tonight, we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Callin' out, Father, oh, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside
Desolation comes upon the sky

[Chorus]
Now I see fire inside the mountain
And I see fire burning the trees
And I see fire hollowin' souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

I thought "I see fire" would be a good song to go out on. When the bombs fall, it's this and "Perfect Day", especially with that ending refrain, "you're going to reap just what you sow".

Okay but here's the kicker:

If you have an alternative OS like GrapheneOS, you won't be able to side load there either.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/09/android-now-allows-apps-to-block-sideloading-and-push-a-google-play-version/

Google's Play Integrity API is how apps have previously blocked access when loaded onto phones that are in some way modified from a stock OS with all Google Play integrations intact. Recently, a popular two-factor authentication app blocked access on phones with modified firmware, including GrapheneOS, which aims to surpass the security of Android's stock system. Apps can call the Play Integrity API and get back an "integrity verdict," relaying if the phone has a "trustworthy" software environment, has Google Play Protect enabled, and passes other software checks.

Might look reasonable on it's face, but if I need to fix an app, or possibly get an app that was removed from Google Play, I'm blocked from that. What control I had over my Android phone is gone with Android 15, if I ever get that update. And switching to something else like GrapheneOS or Lineage, I'm blocked if I ever install GApps / GPlay.

Edit: grammar, clarity.

 

You heard me.

First, my car pops the passenger side front tire. Thankfully, no one was hurt. I got it replaced but I need to have my paycheck hurry up and deposit so I can get the other side replaced to balance it out.

Next, after replacing the throttle on an e-scooter, I find that I need to replace the brake as that is electronically wired and keeping the scooter from going (I found frayed wires connecting to the controller board). More money to spend on a scooter I found at the dumpster.

Lastly, after Nobara was practically screaming at me to update it, I go to log in and KDE Plasma crashes after log on. Thankfully, a quick search turned up a solution that got my desktop environment back up and running.

This was just Friday. I dread to know what my weekend will be like, since I'm the on-call technician this weekend.
