Whoa, these old PowerBooks have Wi-Fi!

hi past me

Many of my projects seem to end right at the point where I have to design a PCB and then I give up. I need a Tinkercad for lazy PCB making.

Maybe instead of replacing everything with Rust, we can start by not relying on 25,000-line autoconf shell scripts

FWIW, this eBay auction is not mine, they just ripped off my pictures and description. Not sure if this is just a scam listing or if they are actually selling old PowerBook batteries.

Supposedly a non-root RCE in OpenBSD up to 7.4, appears to require NFSd running though?

I wonder if there's a "sovereign citizen" group of wackos that try to ignore daylight saving time and show up to everything an hour late

Like they get a ticket for driving without a license plate because they don't believe in them, then they show up to court an hour late and get arrested yelling at the judge that the government doesn't have the right to control time

there are dozens of us!

There's a large cache of in-box (much of it unopened) classic Mac software being sold on eBay recently:

"We've put the keyboard to the back of the unit, placed the trackball here in the center, which left this area which we call a palm rest"

I wonder if companies ever intentionally put spammy things in their "Updates to our Privacy Policy and User Agreement" e-mails to make sure they land in most users' spam folders, avoiding user scrutiny and complaints while providing legal cover that users were technically notified

For any pentesters out there, I came across this wacky MIME syntax for an e-mail attachment in RFC 2231 that is properly parsed by iOS Mail and other things, but I'm curious if it can make a .exe attachment pass through an e-mail scanning appliance:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename*0="a.txt";
filename*1=".ex";
filename*2="e";

Which is to be properly decoded as:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="a.txt.exe"

Section 4.1 says this encoded syntax is also legal:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename*=us-ascii'en-us'a.txt%00%2E%65%78%65

iOS Mail displays it as "a.txt<?>.exe" and can't seem to download it. Mutt and FastMail's web interface stop at the null byte and just show "a.txt".
