A shitpost that's been brewing in my head for a while now

Got to tge point in my training where I'm starting to type actual words. Defs gotta make my fingers move in weirder ways than a regular two handed keyboard. 😅

Lamphone is a clever, optical, side-channel attack that can turn a simple lightbulb into a makeshift microphone. It works because the filament inside a lightbulb subtly vibrates in response to sound waves, like someone talking. These tiny vibrations change the amount of light the bulb emits. By pointing a light sensor or photodiode at the bulb from a distance, a lamphone attack can detect these variations in brightness and convert them back into audio signals, effectively “listening in” on conversations without touching the microphone or the room.

It’s a striking example of how everyday objects can be exploited for surveillance, showing that even something as mundane as a lamp can leak information if you know what to look for.

My fave part of linux distros is the out of the box package managers for installing pretty much everything.

@nasser You should whip it out and see how it feels to jam.

Scary cloud bills like this are exactly why small devs should be publishing their stuff using / tech.

Acidentally froze my computer by running LLM inference while I had high RAM usage. Now the music is coming out in small bursts like my machine is havinf a seizure.🤪

@dan613 Yeah I had the same thought since the bg never shifts. It'd be cool to see some of the raw footage some day.

@murilove Right?! I like to rewatch it every few months so itma still fresh.

When someone comments "this is just like xkcd N", I don't look up the number or consult my memory. I just imagine the most appropriate xkcd comic for the situation and assume I'm right.

Coding sometimes feels like making a chain of Ouroboroses eating each others tail.
