Someone looking for a Black artist to commission "for a full color illustration of a face or bust of a character from one of their novels":

So, I recently saw some quiet discussion about a paper where researchers reverse-engineered and disclosed some attacks against PhotoDNA, the very-super-duper-secret algorithm used by tech megacorps to scan for illegal images.

They didn't make any code public, and so... I did: https://github.com/ArcaneNibble/open-alleged-photodna

A _complete_ reverse-engineering and commented Python reimplementation of the algorithm from publicly-leaked binaries.

This means that studying the algorithm and any potential flaws is now much more accessible.

This took only about two days (once I knew that there even _was_ a leaked binary to compare against), which just goes to again show that security through obscurity never works.

One of the ppl in my sphere who helps keep me together when I'm falling apart is in need of a lil lifting up herself right now.

If anyone is up for a random act of kindness, I would deeply appreciate giving her kofi a lil bump. https://ko-fi.com/frostpoem

She also does wonderfully insightful tarot readings. Hit her up if you need a lil grounding in these uncertain (understatement!) times.
@FrostPoem

Boosts appreciated.

Thank you, beautiful humans. ✨

Rollator has been funded! Thank you so much to the people that donated. We also need food and stuff like handsoap and detergent. I have mutual aid and gift cards for instacart on my wishlist as well, and pay links in the reply to this.

I'm trying to take care of a household of 6 people, only two of who can work right now, and with my longterm illness (I was bedridden for 16 months) I'm not able to cover all my bills this month, as a bunch of unexpected costs hit right in a row.
(my rent was covered with last week's post, thanks so much! I've still got storage, car, and electric to cover)

If you've can donate any amount at all, it'd really help. Thanks so much.
