I expected it to be bad (ie. little box that talks to backend server where all the smarts / API calls live), but not quite this bad:

@jacqueline bsides canberra is apparently alright, but I’ve still not managed to actually get to one.

(the infosec crowd appears to be a higher-variance around the baseline though; more cool queers, but more dickheads.)

What's up, peeps? I've been so bad at keeping up with mastodon- what cool stuff have y'all been up to?

@stargirl Hi / welcome back!

Continuing work on Ye Olde Tangara (now with Less Bulky Case), kitbashing together a mini HDMI monitor, fixing my old set of Logitech speakers to not be so damn bassy, swapping my new-old thinkpad over to USB-C power, having a big nap, uhhhh …

A palm-sized HDMI display with a 3D-printed case styled after an old beige CRT monitor. The STL was a big modification of a ‘286 Raspberry Pi’ project on thingiverse.
The guts of a Logitech X-530 bass speaker, an arrow pointing to an SMD resistor on the board I needed to swap out to make the bass knob actually, y’know, turn down the bass.
A Thinkpad T460, internals visible, showing a USB-C trigger-board placed where the power socket used to be. A 3D-printed block keeps the board in place, along with an amount of hot glue. (@jacqueline did this one for me; I was too scared)

do you like reading a listing full of "the wall plug can break off the main body of the charger exposing the internal wires" and "the power bank may overheat and catch fire" for Comsol and Keji products?

may i introduce you to:

@mcc i think "touching mains wires" is a pretty well-known weakness by this point

did you ever go to lan parties?

@jacqueline All-day and all-night Baldurs Gate + Jedi Academy + BF1942:DC ones with my small D&D group. Some hosted at my place in the back room, some at a friend's. So many power boards and trip-hazard cables and CRTs mixed with early LCDs (the latter of mine i still have because it's smol and convenient).

Some SGLs; i think i might have actually gone to this one:
https://hardforum.com/threads/didnt-have-much-fun-at-sgl.756298/

Some at uni with EGG, mostly more BF and Trackmania Nations.

all with kinda-shit pizza and a strong odour

congratulations. thanks to the cool tech zone forums, i have now involuntarily dredged up a bunch of php security muscle memory; i hope you're all proud of yourselves.

(Joking aside: it's lovely; big props to @ec0 for this forum signature)

i made a forum to talk about tangara and whatever else u want: https://forum.cooltech.zone/

i will plug it to tangara backers later, but for now consider this an ✨exclusive✨ soft launch for fedi lovers

@jacqueline I run my server via bash in a ‘while true; do nc …’ loop, and call php from there. hacking doesn’t exist, and neither do simultaneous requests.
