nammi | 1 year ago | on: How CD pregaps gained their hidden track superpowers
AFI almost always had a "hidden" track after silence following the last track, I figured following the Misfits' tradition
nammi | 2 years ago | on: Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
That name jumped out at me, Hans Jansen is the name Dominic Monaghan used when posing as a German interviewer with Elijah Woods. Not that it can't be a real person
nammi | 2 years ago | on: Low-Power Wi-Fi Extends Signals Up to 3 Kilometers
Barely related, but reminded me that a recent comment here linked to this DEFCON talk from a former darknet vendor. He claimed to use WiFi from a house a mile away using a Yagi antenna

The Casefile podcast had a great two-part series on Blackout crimes last summer, one in London and the other in Berlin.

nammi | 2 years ago | on: Mozilla restricts extensions on some domains on Firefox 115
On 115.0b9 on macOS the list is empty (`extensions.quarantinedDomains.list`), guessing it's intended to be set by school/company IT for their managed devices
nammi | 2 years ago | on: Bye Bye Ubuntu, Hello Manjaro. How Did We Get Here?
Thanks, I hadn't checked in quite a while!
nammi | 2 years ago | on: Bye Bye Ubuntu, Hello Manjaro. How Did We Get Here?
That may be a good idea, but I honestly haven't looked into it. My preference is for operating systems to just work, rather than me change all my motherboards to accommodate them
nammi | 2 years ago | on: Bye Bye Ubuntu, Hello Manjaro. How Did We Get Here?
Arch is my ideal distro, but since my motherboards started using UEFI I just haven't been able to install it. I followed the instructions from the Install Wiki[0], but just couldn't figure it out. Manjaro's been a nice in-between with a painless installation process
nammi | 2 years ago | on: Pigz: Parallel gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines
That's really confusing since `pixz` exists and its "pixie" pronunciation actually works
nammi | 2 years ago | on: Mac Keyboard with Hidutil
I think Karabiner(-Elements) is way more popular and probably more flexible, but I've had a lot of success with Ukelele for 6-7 years. I exported one layout and just copy it to each new macbook. Specifically it lets me set `option` as a dead key so I can have `opt+i`, `opt+j`, etc... shortcuts in editors.

If you're interested in how records are cut, Amanda Ghassaei had a really cool project 3D printing records that goes into detail. She later used laser cutting
nammi | 3 years ago | on: Difftastic, the fantastic diff
It's still around and getting periodic updates. I originally bought it mainly to give Sublime more money (after using the Sublime Text trial for most of college), but it ended up being useful and I use it daily
nammi | 3 years ago | on: Our search for the best OCR tool (2019)
That's what I figured, but in practice I wasn't able to do that without having to manually enter most subtitles. The tools are relatively old, so I was hoping something newer had figured it out
nammi | 3 years ago | on: Our search for the best OCR tool (2019)
Does anyone use OCR to convert BluRay subtitles (.sup) to plaintext .srt files? I've used tools like SupRip and BDSup2Sub, but they've all required pretty significant cleanup afterwards. 'l', '1', and 'I' especially get mixed up a lot
nammi | 3 years ago | on: Kinopio
I used this and it's really cool, but like others the fact I didn't have my files on disk made it way less useful

nammi | 5 years ago | on: Mozilla, Tor Join Calls to Oust Richard Stallman from Free Software Foundation
I checked one of those citations, and wow....
> I expect that Sudanese law defines "rape" to exclude rape by the husband. That's comparable to US laws that define "rape" to include voluntary sex with under N years of age (where N varies). Both laws falsify the meaning of "rape".
