It seems like Cloudflare is unhappy at the moment. A lot of pages protected with their WAF are just returning 500 internal server error

Want to learn how to erase the supervisor password on a ThinkPad X13 G1 without knowing it? I documented the process here:

This attack vector works on some other models too but was fixed on models released in/after 2021.

I'm looking at this area of a ThinkPad motherboard with illicit intent.

Finished editing the photos from @why2025.bsky.social and really like the vibe of this shot from one of the foggy evenings.

I bought a 5th gen iPod Classic released in 2005 and decided to recover the deleted files from the HDD since I was curious what kind of life it had.

Fun to see that some of the original music synced in 2006 is still there. There was frequent activity between 2006-10, then for a few months in 2022.

Went for a walk recently and met this friendly cat :)

This photo was taken on Kodak Vision 500T 35mm cine film which I developed at home.

Deactivated my Twitter account today. Still being on that platform after recent events just feels dirty.

The relative humidity in my apartment averages around 30% so I got a humidifier. I tried to avoid it, but the one I got was an ultrasonic version (the site didn't say that though 😑). This graph shows the particulate matter (PM) after running it, since it vaporizes all of the impurities in the water.

My Olympus OM-1 film camera jammed recently and I decided to look inside to see if I could find any obvious cause. I suspect the previous owner was a little rough with it because some plastic on this gear was snapped and the shard had jammed the mechanics. I removed the shard and now it works again.

I put a bunch of these small E-ink grocery pricetag displays running OpenEPaperLink around my apartment.

I'm running StableDiffusion on my home server to generate AI cat pictures and push them out to the tags.

I finally received and built my uConsole; a handheld Raspberry Pi based portable computer.

I'm testing some wireless epaper displays. I now have them integrated into our home automation meaning I can display stats or random cat photos from an API.

I got a used ThinkPad T480 today, happy to see it is configured to use an M.2 drive rather than SATA. I have spent the last few hours stress testing it and saw no stability issues.

I have a new 1TB SSD and 2x16GB RAM sticks arriving tomorrow to upgrade it with.

Hello 👋

I recently made this account because I'm becoming more unhappy with Twitter each day. I often post about wardriving, software development, custom hardware, and cybersecurity. Feel free to follow if any of those things appeal to you.
