In non-CVE news, here's some fun hardware I got while visiting Hong Kong. It's not the snappiest laptop I've ever used, but it holds potential!

Kernel source is all public (there's a 6.1.y and 6.6.y tree at the moment), hopefully will start working on getting it all merged upstream to make it a proper platform for others to use.

I'm not Ukrainian, but until the last Russian soldier is kicked out of their borders and the Russian government fully pays for the death, suffering, and destruction it brought -- fuck yeah I'm Ukrainian.

Happy independence day, Ukraine.

I work in cybersecurity. Your VPN went obsolete years ago. Nobody tracks you by IP address anymore, because they can be hidden and changed. You're now tracked by your digital fingerprint, like your hardware serial numbers, which VPNs can't hide. You're spending money for nothing.

Me answering a simple "where are you from" question:

2005: Oh, I was born and grew up in Russia. I left when I was 18 to go to college in the US.
2008: Oh, I was born in Russia, but I've lived my whole adult life in the US or Canada.
2014: Uh, I was born in the USSR and left shortly after it fell apart. I've lived my whole adult life in the US or Canada.
2022: My mom was born in Kazakhstan and my dad is part Erzyan and part Volga German, but I've lived in the US or Canada since I was a teenager.
