Does this vuln have a CVE number, or other details? Just curious, since from the posts explaining things this doesn't seem to be based on memory corruption.

I love this one. The neat thing about TOTP is that while the algorithm itself is simple, the algorithms it depends on are also relatively simple, at least for cryptography. For HMAC you just need SHA1, and that can be implemented relatively easily without much more code. As a learning exercise it's quite good.

It's how you keep the people that can't pay for 'consultants' that simply know the admissions teams out.

Maps are to be read. If you want a subway map to frame for your apartment, then the current/old one looks nice, but the new one is just easier to read - particularly in a moving subway car, through a dirty pane, and from 3 feet away. Especially in the age of smartphones, if you're doing navigation on a train (or station) you likely don't have a phone or are already lost, the map should be optimized to be easy to read in either scenario.


The best advice I got before moving to NYC was to download a PDF of the subway map to Books on my phone. That has saved me countless times.


The Underway app is basically an interactive version of this (NYC-specific). It’s just the transit map, but you can click on stations to see current arrival/departure times (“3min”) and MTA notices for lines going through that station.


Also good advice for college campuses! It can handle their 35MB detailed PDfs perfectly well.


Definitely enjoy the scenery. I've done Bletchley and the National Cryptologic Museum, the former is in a genuinely beautiful location, especially if you have sun.


> the government "disappearing" people (which they have objectively been doing lately)

If you know where someone is being held (like Louisiana, for example) they weren't 'disappeared'.


Wrong.

> For the purposes of this Convention, "enforced disappearance" is considered to be the arrest, detention, abduction or any other form of deprivation of liberty by agents of the State or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorization, support or acquiescence of the State, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or by concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person, which place such a person outside the protection of the law.

Arresting Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk is a violation of their first amendment rights, no one in the government has acknowledged this. In addition, moving people to another state in opposition to a judges orders because the judge in Louisiana is favorable to your cause is an attempt to place someone outside of the protection of the law.

Khalil was also denied his right to a phone call or legal council for (as far as I can tell) 4 days.

But also, the government is unambiguously disappearing people

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administration-ignored-or...

And can I add, trusting the government to tell you where the person they just kidnapped is, is a pretty naive way of looking at things. They're violating our first amendment rights and kidnapping people off the street while disguising their identities and refusing to identify themselves when asked directly. What happens if they also refused to tell you where they disappeared people to?


If they were abducted by plainclothes agents and moved across state lines (countermanding a judges lawful order) to a facility where their legal representation has no access they were, without a doubt, disappeared.


Okay, so ignoring a lawful order is unlawful. It's still not 'disappearing' someone if you know where they are. There are also some people you could argue are being disappeared because their whereabouts aren't published. That's assuming media outlets simply just aren't reporting on their whereabouts to then create that narrative. Surely US media has never done that in recent history. It's all case-by-case and it's clear that ICE is probably breaking the law at a large scale. Still:

> without a doubt

With HEAVY doubt, lol. At some point redefining buzzwords to engage in political hyperbole goes further than being intellectually dishonest and presses against the rules of this site.


"A representative of the Turkish consulate went to ICE offices in Burlington, Massachusetts, and was informed that Ozturk was not in that office and ICE could not provide further information about her whereabouts"

From recent CNN publication on the matter. At this stage I have to assume you are arguing in bad faith / shilling for a fascist government. I can only hope you're being paid to do something this debased.


Those actions are shitty, but irrelevant to the argument. If you know where someone is, then they haven't been disappeared.


except, relevant people didn't know where she was. It took the Turkish consulate getting involved to even make progress on the matter, and the people who took her said they didn't know where she was when asked by a representative of the Turkish consulate. You don't think that's disappearing someone? It doesn't matter that she was later 'found' after media attention got too hot. It is clear as day what was attempted.


    Sorry! Fandom isn't allowing BreezeWiki to show pages right now.
Looks like it just got blocked :(


My experience is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Been this way for a few months.


  It's just been revoked


Curious, what was the reasoning behind the block - or its revocation?


Shitty websites make all their money from ads. That's why the page is stuffed full of ads. If you don't see the ads, they don't make any money from you, which isn't a big deal until nobody sees the ads and the site makes no money and goes bankrupt (as they rightfully should).

And before anyone says anything about poor little indie websites needing money to survive: fandom is not one. Fandom is an advertising business. They're in the business of maximizing revenue by showing you as many ads as possible, not just a few to support their server costs, and businesses like this should be treated with extreme prejudice.


I can understand that; but why revoke the ban then?


They can only ban it when they detect that you're using it. It's a cat and mouse game.


I still don’t get it. So they detected the usage and banned the app, what happened that made the ban disappear?

Are you saying the app is using a different scraper? This I would get. But earlier comment[1] mentions ban revocation - this is what surprises me.

It made fandom actually usable


Eating sustainable meat from local farms has never been bad for the environment, which is what this article actually says as well. Of course plants are less.

Also, this article looks extremely deceptive. "Feed and excreta at the bottom of warm, unaerated fish ponds can create more methane than cows" - more than how many cows?


.mobi as a TLD for a book blog on the removal of DRM is especially appropriate.


Are people still using Bluesky? It's been pegged at around 30M total (not sure of daily) users since it opened up.


It replaced Twitter for me. I use Bluesky on a daily basis. Closed my Twitter account last week.


That just means you happen to be in the BS bubble, not that BS has growth potential outside that bubble. The top list shown on the site referred to here is a good example of what this bubble looks like and why BS is unlikely to grow much further. BS is Gab for 'progressives', a left-wing echo chamber. This does not mean that all content on the site is politically left-leaning but it does mean that anything which is in any way political ends up being such and that anyone who dares to voice dissent is treated like a dissident.


It opened more than 1 year ago, and they were celebrating 20m 4 months ago.


Well then it sounds like around 30M users are using it.


Fair, I meant daily vs total users. User count I saw was from here: https://bsky-users.theo.io/


Yes they certainly are, with around 32M total users and >2.25M daily active users.

[0] https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.d...


Not sure what you’re talking about but it only hit 30M users a little over a month ago.


Like many hard-left spaces, they enable mass banning and blocking, enforces arcane speech codes, and imploded on itself quickly because the average person not only finds it bizarre but also boring and lifeless


I don't know what an arcane speech code might be, could I see an example of bsky enforcing this?


Nonsense. Twitter is a scam porn cesspool.


Pretty much everyone I know abandoned everything else, with the exception of a few Mastodon users. If it's at 30M still, that's probably the limit to how many people still care at all.
