    Today is the day i learned: PMC has 2 Factor Authentication - GO enable it now!!!! *pretty please*



    I feel like such a fool - i hardened and secured every account i have - heck i even use physical security keys by now - except for one crucial: my PMC Account.
    This couldve gone (/can be) so bad with my reach/presence. My humble apologies for this oversight.

    Please enable 2FA on all your crucial google, apple, proton, microsoft, etc accounts - credential leaks happen basically every week by now.

    after some mc building today, worked on the website a bit.
    and checked some stats.

    Why is Meta trying to ddos my website lol
    like everyone being "reasonable" and only sending daily 1-500 bot requests / per ai comapny..
    Meta: 16 THOUSAND..

    the site even has only like 5-600 pages. (260 projects + 3d)

    Idk what it takes for you guys,
    but realizing that your weather app is tracking you, to sell your location data, is certainly a bar i do snap' at.


    Working on more minecraft stuff again today and then spend the afternoon inspecting and yeeting apps of my phone.
    Found this open source attempt at a ios and android weather app, https://ossweather.akylas.fr/ OSS Weather and on Linux i found: "Mousam" which is very nice

    edit: wrong app screenshotted #updated img
    SEfaught2026-09-17 14:34:04
    kind of reminds me of those notification you would get when downloading a new app, basically asking if the app has your permission to make phone calls
    Kraggle092026-09-15 15:25:58
    Edit: I see the fixed image now, that’s definitely crossing a line.


    It’s all able to be opted out of, and it’s not being sold. It’s standard product improvement analytics. It’s more like the person going to the mayor and saying “hey this person couldn’t find LOCATION, we should add a sign for it”. Unless I’m missing something in the privacy policy.
    McMeddon2026-09-15 15:02:46
    Metapher: Asking a local person on the street for directions and then both going their own separate ways VS asking for directions once, and then they follow you, while keeping notes, where you go and what you wear.
    Kraggle092026-09-15 14:26:37
    oh wait, duh it “tracks your location” how else does it tell you the weather?
    Kraggle092026-09-15 14:21:10
    I mean, that’s only if you have analytics enabled in iOS settings, right? Since Weather is a system app?

    This is like a super lowball and harmless example, but..

    i swear researching for projects and trying to find authentic and real references gets like.. harder and harder every year. When google and co are just flooded with 10 altered versions + ai recreations of a real place. So frustrating, like having to analyse every image if its real or not...


    McMeddon2026-09-16 06:50:21
    i just tested that for a sunken ships in swamps AND HOLY HEAVENS IS IT DIFFERENT.
    Awhikax2026-09-15 13:56:20
    Google offer filtering by date so I guess filtering anything pre-AI era would help.
    Looking for nature photography contest websites may also be a good way to find "natural" images (often photoshopped though).
    DOOMSTRYKER2026-09-14 09:22:20
    I agree with you on this one. I want to see REAL untouched pictures of REAL Earth for my builds! Not something regurgitated by AI. I want to see the true beauty of our world.

    LG IS SOOO DONE.

    On my recent TV with invasive ACR post.
    Its apparently way worse.

    -They are insecure( with unpatched 0Day & RCE's), botnet enabling, data scrapers, analyzing you, your network, your surroundings, your neighbors. Nothing is save. And neither is the data it captures, because they store it all in LOGS and send off. To a firm LG doesnt even fully control.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA
    You can have EVERYTHING denied. And they still profile you. May they crash and burn and get sued to hell.


    This is not LG only - samsung, hisense, tcl, sony, vizio etc do that ship very very like tooI hope this whole add/tech burns to the ground one day.

    McMeddon2026-09-09 12:53:28
    Oh yea im pissed!
    Linux: Was 100% Worth it! Let me give you my 7-8 months intro knowledge:

    GET VENTOY for install! You can try first without even installing (usb), or try it on a secondary pc/laptop or in a VM.
    Debian/Ubuntu (lts), Fedora(mid cycle) or CachyOS (latest) with KDE (win like) or Gnome (mac like) is just 95% you need.
    Do 1 OS per system, dualboot Linux+Win possible, but can be a real hassle especially when something breaks.
    Dont trust google serp results, i bricked my system once or twice.

    Main limits, currently VM's on linux have no native GPU passthrough support, limited support for various proprietary (video/audio-) codecs h265, mpeg or aac. Ms native/locked programs, Mc Bedrock, games with kernel anti cheat, Adobe programs, and niche proprietary programs. Most windows programs are possible to run with bottles/wine or winboat. 80/20 chance.
    Awhikax2026-09-09 11:58:39
    lmao now you're gonna hate them
    I should definitely switch to Linux, one day...
    McMeddon2026-09-09 11:52:25
    I am SO aware. And got me laughing when i saw, this on my windows partition
    Gladly i switched to linux (cachy) earlier this year.

    On the privacy note - tip:
    For you iPhone users check out this research/inspection tool: Loupe
    Showcases how fingerprinting on ordinary data points, can reveal your interests, habits and circumstances.



    Its amazing, got labled gamer, purely on the basis that i had twitch installed KEKW
    But also put me into the Privacy bucket, because i had Signal and Proton apps.

    I figured out that 1/1000 images of mine had a geotag (grrrrr).
    I also learned that my phone has a barometer?!
    McMeddon2026-09-08 15:07:22
    barometer is like to meassure air pressure. Apparently its for:

    Vertical GPS and floor detection.
    Fittness tracking (the movement changes) + Activity recognition.
    Part of weather analytics, if your local pressure drops it could warn about rain.
    Oh for paragliding apps when you fly in the mountains.
    int322026-09-08 13:40:35
    so there may be apps stealing your barometric information? creepy!
    (I have no idea what they could infer from THAT!)

    Cute reminder TURN OFF ACR AND OTHER SETTINGS: all your TV's track/monitor/spy on you for advertisement/user-profiling by capturing your screens c:

    Samsung, TCL, LG, Roku, Vizio, Sony.. basically all do ACR, they know when&what you watch, play, or when you do work or shop

    (On the LG G5, identifiable ACR-related traffic)
    Dronko fire blaster2026-09-07 14:30:57
    we do, but its a rear projection crt, though we do have a fire stick on it.
    McMeddon2026-09-07 14:12:06
    check the settings, turn of acr and any marketing settings. It does help.

    We have an LG G4 and we just... don't connect it to the internet. We use our PS4 for streaming, and we also have a blu ray player for physical media.
    MerBatPhan892026-09-06 12:21:17
    Good thing I don't use any of those streaming services as I prefer physical media, and for YouTube I use Newpipe/Pipepipe which blocks all the annoying ads and prevents my data from being sold to Google.

    New world map before GTA6 lul

    The UN voted for a new map projection to be used - Bye Bye Mercator, hello equal earth c:
    New one comes with better country proportions and doesnt exxagerates the polar regions as much

    also only now I noticed that mercator freacking placed the equator line into Algeria instead of Gabon, DRC, Kenya etc. wth xD

    McMeddon2026-09-07 08:09:04
    probably not, but they surely can continue using mercator - sea maps for sea mateys and land maps for the land rats ARRR

    webdev stuff i learned today.
    Was kinda confused why there were these random path requests for my site and investigated a bit.
    • There are automated reconnaissance bots casually skimming through the web searching for access points / logins to webservers or backends to attack (knew about that)
    • What i didnt yet know was one way how they do that, supposedly this is a "asset fingerprinting", trying to get a response from hidden web server/pages which usually doesnt respond or straightup blocks that stuff, but regardless of request sends like favicons/logos of the login page and therefor giving like a "positive" response back.

    Kraggle092026-08-30 15:36:29

    BigFatPotat, strong farm-boy vibes, taller than me, so I'd need to be careful and rely on technique. I'd say he has the upper hand here. I'd rely on boxing and Krav Maga techniques, closing the distance when I can. I'm worried he could pick me up though, he seems like a wrestler, so I'd need to stay low and able to evade or choke any grabs. 35% chance of me winning.

    crowndeluxe, not too sure. Seems competent and like they'd have quick reactions. I'd keep a neutral distance and rely on boxing techniques until I get a better read. 50/50.

    SnappNote, drummer, I know I'm cooked, with his crazy reaction speed he will 100% be faster than me, so I'd need to rely on grabs and slams to neutralize. Keep things close, get him to the ground as soon as possible. 45% of winning.

    ajthepeach, seems like a cautious distance fighter, maybe relies on kicks? Close the distance and go for centralized blows. 75% chance of me winning.

    cloudkitty, I'd smite them. First, distract target, then block their blind jab 💥💥. Counter with cross to left cheek 💥. Discombobulate 💥💥💥💥💥. Dazed, they'll attempt a wild hay-maker, employ elbow block, and body shot 💥💥💥. Block feral left, weaken right jaw, now fracture 💥💥. Break cracked ribs 💥, traumatize solar plexus 💥. Dislocate jaw entirely 💥💥💥. Heel kick to diaphragm 💥. In summary, ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs cracked, four broken, diaphragm hemorrhaging. Physical recovery, 6 weeks, full psychological recovery, 6 months, capacity to spit at back of head, neutralized. 100% chance of winning. Discombobulate. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

    Angelonasher, seems like the type of person to know Ju Jitsu or Muay Thai. Once again, I'd need to close the distance, keep a good defense, and go for heavy centralized blows. 50/50.

    jellyfishh would telepathically make me explode. I don't know how but they can just do that. 0% chance of me winning.

    ZappyGru this man knows ball, and so I feel like he'd know fighting. Probably taller than me, likely has good technique. 30% chance of me winning.

    JustaFlqmingo, I know he is stronger than me as of this moment. If I were pre-injury it would be an even fight, but right now he has the advantage. I feel like he would target my weak shoulder, so I'd need to keep my distance and close in when he is worn down. I'd probably need to rely on kicks to keep him at bay. 10% chance of me winning.

    JadeFire170 I don't want to hurt Jade 🥺... they also seem like they'd know crazy martial arts... 5% chance of me winning.

    chickenpants93. Have you ever been hit by a Cucco bird in BOTW or Super Smash Bros? I feel like that's what he would do to me + strong farm-boy vibes. 15% chance of me winning.

    Honorable mention: I know for a fact that I can smoke both EccentricEremite and CalDoesStuff. :]

    bringing back the sidebar thingy from like 6 months ago

    if you had to fight the people on your sidebar, would you win??
    I would most definitely be cooked:
    WOLFAkita is a ninjago nerd (have mercy 😭)
    Oscilllate if memory serves bro is an Australian warden (not a chance
    Yuzukodo I may have a slight chance tho I’ve never fought her
    GalaxyCat24 has explored the freaking galaxy who knows what weapons she has
    MaltyOtter is a otter so she would out skill me
    Zomphey is an annoying enderdude
    CaraRose uh no shot she’s living in a war
    LadyKittenton has watched way to much fair r0se
    Its_Chizukiii would prolly right a song to calm me and then slit my throat or smth
    EuphoriaLuna honestly too kind of a member to fight but I’d still lose
    arandomcat04 he has a 600 day login on hive (PvP server btw)
    IsThatVee I would lose I just know it

    this is my example what’s yours?
