Please repost!

Finally got the glitch shader working! For now it's applied to ICE with a intensity based on how threatening the ICE is, and with increasing intensity the closer the ICE gets to failure.

The shader is designed to work on any GUI element, so we might see it in a few other places too.

Working on adding some colour to tasks in Botnet of Ares. So far, Research, Exploits & ICE have been modified & they really pop now.

Task icons are also new, it's quite tricky to fit them in around the cancel button.

I'm very happy to remove the code from Lobsters for geoblocking the UK, and my thanks to everyone who contributed to making sense of it. I wrote up everything we learned about it and why the risk seems low enough now, hopefully it's useful to other communities: https://lobste.rs/c/xevn8a

Working on the Aspect system for Botnet of Ares. These are attributes of the devices within your botnet. These attributes can be used to restrict which machines complete a task, or give bonuses to specific devices. #screenshotsaturday

New Botnet of Ares blogpost is up! This one is about ICE - hostile software encountered by the player as they progress throughout the game tiniuc.com/boa-blog-3/

i updated my router's firmware a few days ago and none of my family noticed. not even a thank you! i'm starting to think they don't care about openssl updating from 3.0.14 to 3.0.15 or that PHY MII settings were fixed for several different device families including ramips and ath79!!

I'd like to follow more people on Bluesky! Anyone got any suggestions of peeps to follow? Mostly interested in indie games, game development, electronic music production & programming - embedded, communication protocols, cryptograhy.

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank.

First PVKK Devlog is out! We'll do that monthly from now on😄
First one is a bit more introductory, and the future ones should dive a bit deeper on the developer perspective and the "behind the scenes" aspect.
