Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

My cat almost did a somersault by accident the other day because she got so excited for pets.
Here is my interpretation:

This is everyone's friendly reminder that the CBC has a Lite version! It's designed for people in low-bandwidth areas, which has the delightful side effect of it not having ads (or pre-load ad auctions), trackers, or whatever new design choice the designers think will get clicks. It's very nice to just have text and a wee bit of CSS.

Anyone got experience of screen readers on fedi? I can't really see since to eye surgery I want to keep up with you all and have some mental stimulation.

So after 16 months of illness I'm back on my feet and applying to jobs, but I'm completely broke and the combination of car+power+storage for 6 people is due, with a lot of late fees added in.
I'm sorry to ask, but any amount would help. Thanks so much!

Wren fully fuzzed in her sleep. It's hard to tell in this picture, but she had a highly defined back ridge, all the more noticeable because she was otherwise fast asleep.

Joh cuddled her awake and she was *delighted*. I don't think she'd been having pleasant dreams!

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.

do NOT let your moths browse the internet unsupervised

he nearlly order lamps for 1.5k€ from ikea

oops i forgot to make this public oops

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. ✨

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.
