i love running ssh tarpits just to see what people would be doing if they had real access, like forcing my host to reboot in about 150 ways (why though?)
Screenshot of logs from an ssh tarpit called "sshesame". It shows a connection on 2025-10-12 at 10:14:40, the connecting IP and port has been censored. The client identifying as "SSH-2.0-paramiko_3.5.1" authenticated as "root" with "admin" as the password. The client sent about 150 different semicolon-separated commands in one line, all trying to reboot the host, before disconnecting again.

interesting, i've never seen this before. apparently this is a part of some scam trying to get me to buy chinese domains?
Screenshot of an email in Thunderbird. The email is sent by "Kevin Liu (kevin@chinanetregistry.com)" to "hello (hello@nokyan.net)". Its subject is "nokyan". The content of the email reads: "(This email is very urgent, therefore we kindly ask you to forward it to your CEO. If you think this was sent to you in error, please just ignore it. Thanks.) Dear CEO, This email is from China domain name registration center in Shanghai, China. On September 3, 2025, we received an an application from Baokang Ltd. They want to register "nokyan" as their internet keyword and Chinese domains (nokyan.cn, nokyan.com.cn, nokyan.net.cn, nokyan.org.cn). But after we review it, we notice this name conflicts with your company name or brand name. To deal with this situation properly, it's necessary to send this email to you and confirm whether this company is your business partner in China? Best regards Kevin Liu General Manager Tel: +86-2161918696 | Fax: +86-2161918697 | Mob: +86-13816428671 12F Kaike Building, No. 1801 Hongmei Road, Shanghai 200233, China"

the venn diagramm of nazis and people calling themselves "history buff" is a circle (well, a circle within a circle more specifically i guess)
Incomplete excerpt of a tweet by the user "Every The Sopranos Frame In Order" (@FrameInOrder) from 19 hours ago. It reads: "I've had countless people pointing their fingers at me for the past 48 hours and calling me Hitler. "Hitler" this and "Nazi" that. I have just been laughing it off and moving on to the next insane reply. But after some deep thinking today, I realise that they could be onto something: I am a huge history buff, and it was my favourite subject in" (screenshot cut off)

thanks yahoo for censoring him 🙏
Excerpt from an article, it reads: "According to History.com, the 2000 presidential election won by Republican George W. Bush had a chance at ending differently due to this provision in the 12th Amendment. Shortly before the election, Bush and his vice presidential candidate, D*ck Cheney, were both residents of Texas, worth 32 Electoral College votes. But, to avoid any issues due to the 12th Amendment's ban on electors voting for more than one candidate from their home states, Cheney moved his residency back to Wyoming, which he had formerly represented in Congress."
