I think the critical update of OpenSSL yesterday was just a bit over hyped openssl.org/blog/blog/2022/1…

It only affects OpenSSL 3.0.x, not the earlier 1.1.1 release. Roughly speaking thats any rolling release Linux distro or LTS released in the past year isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Up…

My Pixel 3a has sadly died, although I was thinking about a replacement as its no longer supported. It gives me a chance to try something new, so I ordered a Volla Phone 22 volla.online/en/volla-phone-…

I don't think I can go for a full Linux phone yet as I'm heavily dependant on Google Authenticator for work. I'm hoping the Volla OS will enable me to use a few Android apps without the Google tracking.

I'm currently auditing the passwords at work. Longest I've cracked is 36 characters, which has mixed uppercase, lowercase and symbols. It was a 12 character word repeated three times. I ran the words through various rules and one was to repeat a word three times. Oops!

I brought home a computer from work in order to reinstall the Linux OS and clean it up. I think it needs a better case, it gets a bit too hot with the 4 GPUs

I didn't mention about the #NoTrack 22.02 update, probably just as well as there was a bug for new users which caused the block list parser to fail. Simple fix for two lines of code, but an embarrassing problem to have caused. gitlab.com/quidsup/notrack

A few weeks ago I started to restructure and clean up the old Python code in #NoTrack then I found a bug where my block list would shrink from 23K down to 2K domains every 2-3 days. Found the problem was Python not deleting a locally created object. gitlab.com/quidsup/notrack

In that object was a list of domains already added, but didn't include subdomains. The Block List Parser basically went "I added this domain earlier, so I'll ignore it this time" Drove me insane until I finally worked out what it was doing.
