Seeing people talking about vrchat makes me wanna try setting things up again. Idk if it'll work or not still, but I can go on desktop mode if nothing else...

A friend asked me to help her with an ebook she had purchased from which she could not copy any text. It was protected by DRM. It seems that printing it to another PDF file from Okular can do the trick. Don't ever do that, as it is illegal. I did not try to do it, of course. As well as I did not try to convert it to PS and then back to PDF, because it had never worked for me before with other kinds of restrictions. This is knowledge you should never acquire nor share with your followers.

ah heckie I forgot my RS232 adapter requires VCC for both a power source and TTL voltage reference, and the parallella doesn't have that exposed

Awake with tremendous general anxiety .w.

Me: I don't think I feel much of any imposter syndrome?

Also me: *suddenly must tackle the Ops side of DevOps in earnest*

Also me: Oh, right, this is what it feels like.

Found an ubuntu image for my Parallella and spun it up, sshed in, got it to run! Then immediately crashed it generating primes on the Epiphany chip. Should probably hook up the serial to my terminal next time I use it.

I guess I have an FPGA to play with at least! Or for someone else to play with!

PSA: buffer overflow in sudo; allows for local privesc even when a user is not in sudoers

sudo.ws/alerts/unescape_overfl

as a temporary workaround to restrict it to only the users who should be allowed to use it, one can use POSIX ACLs:

chmod 4750 /usr/bin/sudo
setfacl -m g:allow-groupid:rx /usr/bin/sudo or setfacl -m u:allow-userid:rx /usr/bin/sudo

Oh right, my new dot grid notebook is 5mm squares and not 1/4", so my usual sprite rough scale is off.

guess that's just an excuse to draw bigger

among us 

I saw my old flame streaming among us and looked, and I feel like I walked right into a shitpost

Getting back into practice with art with another crack at a fursona redesign

Sometimes gamedev is just putting on some castlevania tunes and doodling, whether in a notebook, a spritesheet, or a scene
