- Vibing a wardriving visualizer. Linked for the wifi mapping.
- The 2FA app that tells you when you get `314159`. I wish I had thought of this, cause I am entertained by the same coincidences. (via)
- Very manual bootstrapping.
- Markdown Ate The World. A useful document history. (via)

Yvi is an awesome hack!
HA user here. Liking it very much.
Curl to dev/sda sounds ridiculous until you realise that a lot of people recommend exactly that when they tell you to upgrade OpenBSD or anything similar directly from single user mode. Yeah your sysupgrade and whatnot checks hashes. Have you ever checked those? Where did those SHA256.sig files come from? The same place your callously enabled network in single user tells your machine the files are, thats right. Has it ever occurred to you how wild it is that many of us have – for decades now – essentially overwritten large chunks of our production systems right from a flimsy copper wire that goes up and down the hill under public roads with complete faith and trust in your distro maintainers, ISP, god and state?
Wild man.
