I was made owner of the GitHub repo in my team.
I am the second guy with rights to merge to master.
Soo happy 😬

The new Dutch mass surveillance law goes into action on the first of May. I'll of course have a good security setup ready but that does not stop the bulk data collection.

I just setup a website which (still in English at the moment) requests a random search result from bing, google or DuckDuckGo every 3 seconds.

Will work on making it more 'real' :)

If stopping the surveillance isn't an option, let's add more data to filter out for them!

When you managed to stand up early and programme the whole morning:

"Can you help me with this program?"
*sends code on Messenger*

Me *shows friend website hosted on Ubuntu VPS*

Friend: You using UBLUNTOOTH?

Me: Excuse me? This is going on devRant.

Today I received the best bug report I could've ever asked for..

Received an email from a member of our customer service centre containing a description of the bug they'd found and not only did it contain the steps to reproduce the bug, but a goddamn video of him reproducing the suspected bug!

The greatest feeling when the client decides to take time to make your life that little bit easier

was trying to book some ticket, after entering every detail at the payment page this happened and there is not even back button. fml

What’s the wifi password ??

Let's Encrypt and their free (wildcard) certificates. Simply great!

Guess who wasted 2hours of his life to change his configs file again.

I would be SO pissed.

"Rottensys" a malware which covers devices from: Honor, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, Samsung and GIONEE

---

"According to our findings, the RottenSys malware began propagating in September 2016. By March 12, 2018, 4,964,460 devices were infected by RottenSys," researchers said.

"At this moment, the massive malware campaign pushes an adware component to all infected devices that aggressively displays advertisements on the device’s home screen, as pop-up windows or full-screen ads to generate fraudulent ad-revenues."

---

If you have one of the affected devices, here's how I checked mine:

1. Install ADB (Windows: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...)
2. Connect your device in USB-debugging mode
3. execute "adb shell 'pm list packages -f' > output.txt" (On windows navigate to C:\adb and replace "adb" with ".\adb.exe")
4. open the now created output.txt
5. search for any of those:

com.android.yellowcalendarz (每日黄历)
com.changmi.launcher (畅米桌面)
com.android.services.securewifi (系统WIFI服务)
com.system.service.zdsgt

Me: I have admin rights
Windows: Looks legit
Me: can I delete this folder ?
Windows: Nope

I don't get the point of spamming a link...

Edit: Compression fucks it up... you can still see it's the same link being spammed.

What is SQL?

Just finished with my arch install. The deepin desktop is simply beautiful!

Realising that group projects meant the best member of the team does all the work and the rest just sit around back seat driving 😅

Arghhhh....

Some days ago I was talking to the main IT guy at my new job, we still work on different dept so I don't know anything about him.

As I start come general chat I begin to realize He don't know what a repository is, what the GIT for github mean or even nothing about the ancient CVS.

I'm starting to worry about where am I.

Open remote debugger on Chrome but there's a bug on Chrome remote debugger. I can't debug my site because I can't debug a bug on Chrome remote debugger.

This makes getting any work done slightly more difficult. Maybe I should try dog debugging

When I left school I decided to apply for a junior dev role. I received a call back later that day and they tried to sell me access to some course with the promise of a job afterwords. They gave me a website to visit to find more information.

I Googled the company and found that it was as I suspected a scam and that they had been praying on the jobless for sometime.

So, I played around on the site they told me to visit for a while and found a rather simple SQLI. I managed to pull the admin email/password (which they stored as plain text) the email address belonged to a Gmail account.

I tried the password for the Gmail account turns out the account belongs to the person running the scam. I find an email from the hosting account and you guessed it the password was the same.

I pulled the site down and replaced it with a picture of the person running the scam along with his name and the words "I'm a dirty scammer".

Then I sent all the info to the police (he'd been running a few others scams too) not sure what that lead to I didn't hear anything back.

Wife asleep early, getting a great dose of Battlefield, maybe I can finally finish the last bits of my app tonight! 😮

1024 points of soldering !!

Wasn't expecting that when I began, but it's quite interesting and the result will look amazing ^^
I'm making a LED matrix from 0, controlled by an Arduino, it will look really good when it's finished, I plan to use it to display notifications, clock, sound spectrum etc...
What do you think of it ? 😇

Since people are posting their Linux desktops, I want to be cool too.
