Got like 8 quadrillion cookies at once while my CpS is only 600 billion. 😎👍

strat: Keep a 7x 15 mins CpS chunk of cookies unspent so that when you get a golden cookie that increases production you can cast "Conjure Baked Goods" to get a hefty chunk all at once. Even more if you wanna gamble on getting a golden cookie that uses factories or something as the bonus.

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.

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.🤪

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.

P2P data transfer is easy compared to trying to get old build systems to run when your CI environment forces an upgrade 😎

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
