Can we put "Automattic" I. The title? I had no idea who this was. (Yes it is comfortable under my rock)

Because supply side. Can't have our oil barons losing out.


This is the way. And I have no shame when I warm up a can of ravioli in the microwave at coworking.

Even though the campbell's exec declared it "poor food" the jazzy jambalaya has replaced our instant pot recipe. We buy two cans of it, add a package of microwaveable ready rice and have decent (although very carb and sodium heavy) dinner in ~3 minutes.

It also cooks up great in a small pot on a pocket rocket and tastes great right of the can as far as it being suitable for emergency food.


Counter point: How many paid auth providers force you to create an entirely new deployment and then use a lambda to migrate within their own system? Especially for something as seemingly simple like adding another metadata field?

I think they allow export because they drew some interesting lines around their own mutability concerns.

I also would never use cognito again.

We got hit with this as well. Minor heart attack.

Second billing issue in the past couple weeks... wonder what is going on? AI code? Rapid product additions?


It's in the comments here tho.


Promnesia was a prior attempt at this

Glad this one is getting the "second chance" bump back to the front page. It's great content and it's timely. It's a great video.

If you're not inclined to watch the video I'll save you a click to the youtube description and add a bit more detail than the earlier sibling for the devices shown:

Simulacra

"Simulacra continuously fabricates a churning crowd of plausible-but-fake wireless devices around you — drowning your real devices in noise so that passive trackers, ALPR add-ons, and co-travel correlators can't reliably pick your signal out of the crowd — while passively watching for the trackers that follow you."

Biscuit Ultra

"Wardriving Platform: A Full WiFi & BLE Security Toolkit. A headless wireless security research platform controlled entirely from your phone via Bluetooth. The platform supports dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth Low Energy scanning and attacks, wardriving with GPS mapping, packet capture, and much more"

Rayhunter

"Rayhunter is a project for detecting IMSI catchers, also known as cell-site simulators or stingrays. It was first designed to run on a cheap mobile hotspot called the Orbic RC400L, but thanks to community efforts, it can support some other devices as well."

OUI Spy

"ESP32-S3 multi-mode surveillance-detection board"

• Foxhunter — single-target RSSI-proximity tracker for radio direction finding

• Detector — multi-target BLE scanner with OUI filtering + web config portal

• PCAP — raw 2.4GHz Wi-Fi packet capture, Wireshark-ready (dev branch)

• BLE Sniff — raw Bluetooth LE advertising capture, Wireshark-ready (dev branch)

• Flock-You — Flock cam detection with GPS wardriving, JSON/CSV/KML export

OUI Spy is cool. I got the pair of earrings for my girlfriend's kid's bday a few months ago. It's fun and disappointing driving around finding all the Flock cameras I hadn't noticed.

"Oh, it's that guy with the bluetooth spammer."

If they became cheap enough, you could deploy them "permanently" to leave around town. Hang 'em on the same pole the Flock cameras are mounted, or on the ground in one of those hide-a-key things shaped like a rock on the ground near the pole. Just toss one out as you drive by type of situations. It's all solid state, so should be okay being tossed around a bit.


BLE spam tools rely on a handful of specific payload types, Apple Continuity and proximity pairing, Fast Pair model IDs, Swift Pair. Simulacra specifically does not use any of these so it does not cause pop ups on any devices. It also produces WiFi probe requests not just ble signals.


My dad died 30 years ago after it spread to his liver. He was in the study at duke for what is today the standard treatment line for immunotherapy. I hope he was able to help. He died 9 months after his diagnosis.

Enjoy the time you have with him now and be grateful for all the years you've had. Nothing is going to make the loss of a parent "OK" and it will hurt no matter if you see it coming like you are or it's a surprise.

Remember to breathe.


many times i have said a company could be built to just make better google documentation.
