    yep! I've found out browsing hacking/spamming site and i've found something too good to be true, it downloaded archive nested inside other archive and in it was silngle .lnk file leading to "the resource". Peeking inside i've found powershell executing base64 (or base32?) encoded script (it's got commandline option for that. if you want to ask wtf ask microsoft, and tell me), it dl'd some exe from some site and ran it, site was down alredy.

    He didn't, malware guys use UPX and it's true that antiviruses scream bloody murder when they see it. It's also true you can't see what's inside unless you have special tools to do so. UPX also has one huge downside, it's its RAM usage, due to it's inner workings it's unable to use optimisations that normal binaries can like page sharing.

    Depends on country you happen to be in. If it's Poland or eastern Europe noone will give a damn. If it's Germany then you might be screwed. If you're on a good VPN you should be ok even in Germany.

    It's not, i've got two non-tech friends on my private instance, biggest issue was me nuking wrong folder on server. You just need a good client, i go with Dino for desktop and monocles chat for android. My non-techies are mobile-only and i and my techy friend are on Dino on desktop, only feature it lacked is group calls which i've monkeypached with a feature for my bot that generates Jitsi invites.

    Tried and can confirm almost every webpage even static ones which could be simple as rock needs truckload of bloat js code to be loaded from ext servers.

    To add to Possibly Linux's precise and correct answer: Those leaks are made by hackers taking over organisation's servers and publishing what they found, noone can control it not even orgs in question.

  • As in title, i'm just wondering whether it is possible to rip movie from cinema if one has got unsupervised access to cinema's hardware. Maybe someone did that? I'm not talking about caming, i'm talking about making a digital copy of premiere material.

    I've got a VFD display on board along with UPD16311 driver is made for negative voltage around -30V and i think so is display (i couldn't find any info on display) and I'm doing it mostly from junk parts. I want to know what devices could/should contain power supply for such voltage. I've tried -12V from psu i've got lying around but it didn't work. There's also a chance that display itself is damaged but there's no visual sign of it.
