tfw my weird-ass setup of running my USB sound mixer's mic output to my mic port instead of using the digital input (because ALSA) has created a ground loop 🤔

Mitigated by ripping a ferrite choke out of my old joystick and running the aux cable through it

fediblock / "Scary" 

Scary is back, a prolific block evader that sails close to and within fash instances. Seems they're trying to be less overt this round and going for more of a concern trolling angle. Anyway, I know they're watching my account and some others and will see this so "hi, a block is a block ya twat :spritz:" I guess.

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

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.

This was a gift to me from an old friend Nivvy, dunno what she's up to these days

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

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
