@bender@twtxt.net $70/week of petrol, wtf? 😂

Why is it even legal to have non-removable non-standard batteries in these devices …

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Easier said than done. I really do want to have a phone for emergencies (and some people are only reachable via SMS, oddly enough). Maybe I can get away with buying a super cheap and super simple one.

Smartphones got so large the last few years. My goodness. What’s the plan here, make them indistinguishable from tablets? 🤨

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That is a lot of planes. And a lot of nice apples. 😅

Battery in my smartphone died. Can’t be replaced. It’s roughly 3 years old.

Now I have to find a replacement, which annoys the hell out of me. 😒 (I checked the prices of Fairphone, PinePhone, Librem, but sorry, all way too expensive.)

@prologic@twtxt.net Only if it’s Battle Chess. 😃

Huh, already finished Quake 4. That was much shorter than I remembered. 🤔 Does this qualify as “retrogaming”, btw? It was released 18 years ago … 😳

@prologic@twtxt.net Alright, that’s allowed. 😁

@prologic@twtxt.net But, but … it’s Sunday! Don’t work on a Sunday! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Not much, really. Went out for a long walk this morning since temperatures are finally down to a comfortable range. Now I’ll have a coffee and play some more Quake 4. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Is “barbie” aussie as well? 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Neato 👌

Too bad we live too far south for this: https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen-anhalt/magdeburg/polarlichter-nachthimmel-sonnensturm-100.html

Also kind of curious how syncing to Google servers made this attack worse? Not that clear from the article 🤔

As I understand it: The attacker was able to compromise the Google account of that employee. That would have been pretty been in and of itself. Due to this horseshit “sync” feature, though, the attacker was also able grab all those TOTP seeds that can be used to log in to other sites.

What’s unclear to me is how the attacker got to the first factor (probably a normal password). That was probably fished separately? And/Or that employee used the same password everywhere? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Uhh, nice 👍

(I’m still waiting to have my next lesson. Dude’s busy as heck. 😂)

Alright, so here’s a little recording on upright bass. It’s my current warmup piece, goes across all strings, different positions, stuff like that.

(I should try to put more emotion into it, I guess, but I was too focused on not screwing up the recording. 🤪)

It started out as an improvisation over C minor and A# minor, then I tweaked it a little bit and wrote it down:
