Current status: we're starting to understand the string mangling logic and have managed to extract constants from the payload. Though someone has already deleted the webhook URL the malware uses to exfiltrate the collected data.

Thank you @interru and @lumiere for your assistance ^^

The malware itself has been packaged using pkg with all bells and whistles like compression and precompilation turned off. Probably to inflate executable size without adding a bunch of zeroes. There is some weirdness though, because the bootstrap script that pkg embeds is missing its […]

[Solution details]

The first part was easy enough to do as a depth-first search traversing the entire connection graph. Thankfully we don't have to worry about cycles for this entire exercise.

The second part needed some tricks. The big one was figuring out that a search going from A -> B that […]

Fed it into an LP solver and it's passing perfectly for the test cases but returns a straight up invalid solution when I give it the full input...

[mentioning found hints]

Apparently it's a linear programming problem. That might explain it, LP is one of those subjects that I just cannot wrap my head around for some reason.

Let's see if this is the swing that breaks through that wall c:

[Solution details]

Part 1 was a basic brute force effort. Create all possible rectangles and find the largest one.

Part 2 was much the same, but for each generated rectangle, now I checked if any of the provided lines intersected it. If there is an intersection, then we can assume that the […]

PeerTube should be back up and running, onto Forgejo

Running database migration

Installing new PeerTube version

@interru Yeah, that sounds problematic. The way I've read the spec (though the part about handling other fields isn't normative) is the misskey boost field should be visually handled the same way as the Mastodon spec compliant one?

Though then that might fall under the "MUST verify consent" […]

@interru I thought Sharkey quotes still worked just fine, since the Mastodon spec includes fallbacks for handling Misskey-style quote posts?

The other direction is definitely broken until the other end implements either some sort of consent fallback or a proper consent switch.

As it stands, I […]
