Looks like they’re burying it. The buried stuff does have a small copper locate wire. Or maybe its aluminum? I don’t know. Better check

Just in case anyone is interested in a nice, normal movie, there’s this real neat korean anime named Aachi and Ssipak…
Somewhere in the future, mankind has depleted all energy and fuel sources, however they have somehow engineered a way to use human excrement as fuel. People started to build the new city by making new energy with their excrement. Soon after, the city’s leaders announced two legislations to generate and control the new energy; including installing ID chips in each citizens’ anus to monitor the defecation level; providing an addictive juicybar to citizens in return. Soon enough, defecation amounts have skyrocketed and the city becomes full of addicts, due to juicybar’s strong addictive qualities. An illegal juicybar trade becomes prevalent and its side effects has created dumb pint-sized mutants. The mutants later organize a gang, plundering juicybars, later becoming known as the Diaper Gang.

BOOK SPOILERS
The entire story is different. For starters there’s no t-rex loose in LA or whatever. Hammond is dead in the book (he gets eaten by compys at the end of the first book). There’s a few details that are the same, like the fancy research lab on wheels, but in the movie the child that stows away on it is Malcolm’s daughter. She’s not in the book. Instead in the book two research assistants to another character are the stowaways. Small things, lots of them.

- Comment on Any Xbox 360 can now be hacked in less than one minute 2 weeks ago:
To be fair there’s no article, just a video of a guy off camera talking about his Xbox, not exactly engaging.
I dug through the start of some guide on github, and nothing jumped out at me that the stuff remains configured. Maybe there are pieces stored on the jump drive afterward, but if it does they aren’t saying it very loudly. That’d definitely help convince me to try it.
Who am I kidding, I’m trying it the first time I come across a 360. I just don’t see myself using it regularly
- Comment on Any Xbox 360 can now be hacked in less than one minute 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen estimates between 30-70% failure rate for the race condition, even on this updated 1.2 version.
And then ok, the exploit is successful. Now you have to install the custom launcher. Hope you like the default theme otherwise you’re now configuring that each and every time too. I didn’t get this far in the guide but now I imagine you also need to install the ISO manager that launches the games. Whoops, there’s always some weird collection of dependencies that you’ll probably have to tweak. Remember wii ios’s? God, what the heck was that. Then you lose power and have to do all of this over again?
Have you ever modded a console? The exploit is only step one.

Its a shame it doesn’t persist through a reboot. I thought I was finally going to have a hacked 360, but I’m not reapplying this thing every time I turns on…

- Comment on HBO Max’s Password-Sharing Crackdown Will Start in Earnest in September 3 weeks ago:
It’s worth it to include a couple extra points on the current ‘meta’ of seed boxes. A lot of these servers that people set up to serve as an inbetween to torrent then watch via jellyfin etc - they are being set up with weak security. Usually read access is left wide open to get all these services working on the same directory where the movies are. They assume there’s a little security through obscurity, but Google WILL manage to index this folder, and now when someone searches for that obscure 90s movie you torrented (with a few fun search arguments like intitle:), they’re now able to access all your downloads.
Sometimes these seed boxes have bandwidth use limits, where they might charge you if you suddenly use a few dozen TB, which will happen if you’re showing up on Google!
If they don’t have bandwidth limits, you still might land in hot water with your hosting co because you’re being a little loud with copyright infringement. You’re showing up on Google.
If you’re not too worried about either of these things, go ahead and be a hero, leave that shit wide open because…
If hosting a seedbox is way over your head or budget, just know a lot of them are left wide open for you to grab bits and pieces with near zero risk.

Uninstalled uber last week when it told me to take a photo of my ID to ride. Next week I’ll hear about some Brazilian hacker that has 100 million US IDs from an uber leak. No thanks. Lyft will probably do the same thing soon, and I’ll unceremoniously dump their ass too.

Jellyfin. The HDDs were only ~$110 each. Seagate 5400s but w/e it’s mass storage. No raid, drives will just be filled, cloned, and the clone dropped into a second system, also with no windows 🤬

I’m just spitballing here, I have no clue, but they have a bunch of (used to be pretty toxic) oil inside these and maybe during any sudden impact, making it scoot a little is preferable to the thing busting open and spilling everywhere? Sort of like the telecom cabinet in the other photo that was secured to the ground and shattered when it was hit

I couldn’t really tell you why, just that they aren’t typically bolted down.
Also, that’s a telecom crossbox in your photo. Here’s some lawn mowing site warning about the risk of hitting them and moving them:
- Comment on hehe 👉👈 3 weeks ago:
The door locks, sure, and the entire thing is a good 200lbs+, but it’s often still just resting on top of the concrete pad. Kids probably can’t push it but an adult can probably hip check it an inch at a time.
Maybe a rider lawnmower bumps it and moves it 3 inches and now there’s a crevice between the concrete pad and the transformer that kids can reach into and grab high voltage power lines.
They ARE fairly safe, a lot of things have to go wrong, but bottom line it’s still something that will kill.
I’ve worked around them, and I never shooed or chastised any kids I saw playing on them. I’d just do a quick inspection with them, point out that it’s not crooked or bent or anything so they know what to look out for. I’d really prefer they didn’t play on it, but I get it

to develop a customized and segregated area within Azure that has facilitated the army’s mass surveillance project.
Keeping with the example, the bus company spun up a separate assembly line to make busses specifically designed to rob banks.

Looks like Reddit was on the case 6 years ago. I’m not going to link to the thread, and just dump the relevant bits instead. Most of the links appear dead anyway.

So it comes from a webcomic series of short gags with the title: “심심할때 그려보는 K군의 조금이상한 두컷만하”
