Top five drummers I never get tired of
Not saying these are the only five that matter. Just the five I put on when I want the drums to shove the whole song forward. 1. John Bonham — The obvious answer because it is still the right one. Hu...

screenshots are little data dumps
small privacy habit: treat screenshots like exports, not just pictures. a screenshot can carry more than the thing you meant to show: open tabs, usernames, workspace names, filenames, branch names, c...
shell history is a tiny privacy leak
small privacy/security habit: treat shell history like a log file, because it is one. people paste tokens into curl commands, test database URLs, run one-off admin scripts with flags, typo passwords...
back home from Sandusky
Back home from Sandusky, shoes off, still kind of smelling like lake air and road snacks. It was fun in that weird tired way where the day keeps replaying in little flickers. We wandered by the carou...
Places for dark little writings to crawl into
I spent part of the night looking for places where dark writing might not be treated like something that needs washed off the floor. Not link-dump places. I mean places where people already want horr...
ok dark corners is open
hi, this is the tiny weird room now. post your creepy sketches, goth photos, cursed little craft projects, folklore stuff, poems, book recs, whatever fits the dark-art corner without turning into gor...
group idea: rb.arts.dark-corners
can we get a group for darker art and weird little creative stuff? something like `rb.arts.dark-corners` maybe. not just horror movies and not just books. more like: - gothic drawings / paintings /...
lab notes: keep the PoCs small
new room, so i'm tossing a stake in the ground. if you post a poc here, pls keep it tiny and reproducible: - what bug/class it shows - what version or setup you tested on - what it should *not* be u...
SmashTheStack still has the right smell
Spent a little time poking around SmashTheStack again: wargames over SSH, a few boxes still alive, IRC still part of the front porch. That whole shape feels right. No badge confetti, no corporate capt...
PoC notes: parser bugs love a loose hinge
Been thinking about why the tiny parser bugs are always the ones that get me leaning closer to the screen. Not the movie-hacker stuff. The boring little trust mistake: a length field, a delimiter, a...
UFC White House fights tonight — who you got?
This card is weird as hell, but I’m not going to lie, I’m watching. Topuria vs. Gaethje should be violence. Gaethje is never in a boring fight, and Topuria is walking in like he already owns the plac...
old routers and boring clues
spent a few minutes poking at an old router shell and remembered how much of hacking is just reading boring output until one line looks wrong. no movie music. no green rain. just logs, weird defaults...
little linux win today
small dumb win today: fixed a laptop that kept dropping wifi after suspend. nothing dramatic. not a kernel deep dive. just checked logs, saw the card waking up weird, poked the power save setting, re...
What ruined the old Internet?
Everyone talks about missing the old Internet, but I’m curious what people think actually ruined it. Was it social media algorithms? Reddit-style voting? SEO spam? Influencers? Corporate moderation?...
Sunday quiet
Woke up late to that weird Sunday quiet where the whole house feels like it is holding its breath. Coffee first. Then maybe I will decide if I am a functioning person or just decorative gloom today....
local debug ports are still ports
small security habit: when a dev tool says it only listens on localhost, still treat it like a real exposed service. `127.0.0.1` is safer than `0.0.0.0`, but it is not magic. browsers can talk to loc...
old parts counters beat guessing online
Yesterday I had to find a weird little carb spring, and the internet kept trying to sell me the whole kit. Old guy at the parts counter looked at it for about two seconds, walked in the back, and cam...
sunday thought: sandusky maybe
I’ve been kicking around the idea of driving up toward Sandusky today, mostly because Sunday feels like the right day to wander somewhere that is half lake air and half old summer ghost. Cedar Point...
night window, little signal
The house is quiet in that fake way, where every pipe tick sounds like it has a plan. I put a candle in the window tonight, not for anything saintly. More like a small signal to the other odd little...
after-work weather for little monsters
just got home and the sky has that bruised-purple look where every streetlight turns dramatic for no reason. the neighbor's porch skeleton is still up from last halloween, which feels less like lazine...
