Your SSH honeypot fakes a Linux system and logs the threat actor's commands.

My SSH honeypot hijacks the threat actor's terminal to play the music video of Rick Astley's 1987 pop hit "Never Gonna Give You Up" while ignoring Ctrl-C.

Bad idea: a website that tracks how long it's been since U2 played "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" in concert.

That way we'll know if they ever find it, since we can assume they'll stop playing the song.

It's like a musical warrant canary: as long as they keep playing it, we know they've not found it

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. Intel commissioned the weaving as a gift to the American Indian Science & Engineering Society. 1/6

Marilou Schultz also created a weaving "Untitled (Unknown Chip)", 2008. Antoine Bercovici identified it for me as the AMD K6 III processor. These weavings are part of an exhibition "Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction". The exhibition is no longer at the National Gallery of Art but will be at the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa) in November and the Museum of Modern Art (New York) next April. 5/6

Peter Matejic on Joseph Rowntree Foundation's research into attitudes to health care in Britain:

'This research shows that the public feel they can no longer count on the NHS to provide a universal service that’s free at the point of delivery because some NHS services are now so difficult to access' - from dentistry to counselling; we all now expect to pay to get health care.

So, the Tories engineered NHS crisis has had exactly the intended effect!

When UX designers design their user interfaces, they should always include "vomiting child" in their user flows.

That is, they should take all their well designed and thoughtful user flows and insert "and suddenly the user's child vomits".

If the UX isn't robust enough to handle the user running off to deal with a vomiting child for twenty minutes, it is a bad user flow.

immediately makes me think of Windows Update.

Windows nags me about some OS patch. I authorise it to start downloading. Then I go away and leave it to get on with it.

I come back half an hour later and find that it auto-suspended the machine after 10 minutes because it believed it was just idle. So that's as far as the download got.

I can only get it to finish an update if I nudge the mouse every 9 minutes – even though _it_ wanted the update even more than I did!

The 2024 FAAFO (F*ck Around And Find Out) Award goes to Elon Musk for daring the Brazilian Government to ban X (formerly Twitter) and then whining about "free speech" when they actually did ban it. I should point out that X was in breach of Brazilian law for allowing hate speech, but you know, Elon never met a Nazi he didn't like.

Please join me in saying a big - Congratulations Elon!

When he’s not busy being one of our best fiction writers, Ted Chiang has become our best critic of generative AI:

“The programmer Simon Willison has described the training for large language models as ‘money laundering for copyrighted data,’ which I find a useful way to think about the appeal of generative-A.I. programs: they let you engage in something like plagiarism, but there’s no guilt associated with it because it’s not clear even to you that you’re copying.”

“It is very easy to get ChatGPT to emit a series of words such as ‘I am happy to see you.’ There are many things we don’t understand about how large language models work, but one thing we can be sure of is that ChatGPT is not happy to see you. A dog can communicate that it is happy to see you, and so can a prelinguistic child, even though both lack the capability to use words. ChatGPT feels nothing and desires nothing, and this lack of intention is why ChatGPT is not actually using language.”

Our new house has what appears to be only a pair of satellite signal cables coming to the area where the TV bracket is installed, and it would be a pain to install terrestrial cables instead (probably ripping up the whole concrete floor!) so, despite never having used satellite before I'm now looking for a freesat box.

Looking around Ebay, the Humax Foxsat-HDR is what I notice the most. It appears to be quite an old product, but is only about 50 quid and presumably should view, record and play freesat channels. My question is, is there any reason it wouldn't work? Have satellite broadcast standards changed in the last 10 or so years? Different codecs, or anything like that that would obsolete older boxes? Presumably the EPG and programme recording would work the same as it did back then?

Also am I right in thinking that the satellite dish receivers (LNBs) don't need power, or get it from the box they are connected to? (I.e. they don't need separate power supplies.)

I'm hoping things haven't changed too much and I should just be able to grab one of these older boxes relatively cheaply, plug it into the satellite cables and the TV/amp, and not have to spend more time thinking about how to get basic TV channels and recording/playback working for my parents.

I've just been reading up on UK TV distribution systems and have come across Freely, which is supposedly going to replace Freeview. All I can think, when reading up on it, is "ew". Works only on specific smart TV models, no set top boxes, no upgrades for older TVs, nothing for other devices - phones, tablets or computers. Just directly built into specifically "blessed" TVs. No thanks.

One of the things you learn in #ArtSchool, at least when you're studying #Sculpture, is that a gentle rounded chamfer on the edge of a planar surface gives it a greater visual sense of mass - as little as 1mm on a 25mm thick plate of steel, will make that steel appear more solid.

This is why a #Tesla #Cybertruck looks like it's make of tinfoil - all the edges are too sharp. It gives away how tissue-thin the panels are, and makes it look cheap & insubstantial.
