I just find this amusing. WSL is case-insensitive, so command-line determines seed (and output):

$ cat self.py
from random import*; seed(__file__); print(randint(0,64))

$ python3 self.py
36

$ python3 self.py
36

$ python3 SELF.py
47

$ python3 self.PY
38

Me in 2008 looking back on listening to #SomaFM for 6 years, when there was going to be another 16. 😏

Last night I dreamt I jumped out of an airplane holding one of those old paratrooper toys. On landing, I ate it.

They kinda always did look tasty.

Still always making strange code

#if 0
#pysea.c
#polyglot-file
import sys
print ('Hello, world - Python\ngcc -o pysea', sys.argv[0])
#endif

#include
#define exit int main(int argc, char** argv)
#define quit { printf ("Hello, world - C.\npython3 %s.c\n", argv[0]); return 0; }

exit
quit

Ever hear "X people die from Y every day"? I love that, it's easy to grasp. But I want to see all of those at once, a sort of "what do we die from?" in real-time. A way of grasping where priorities should be.

Thus, Deathwatch: another of my weird experiments on #CodePen

You gotta' hand it to Elon, $456 trillion dollars is a helluva return on an investment of $44 billion and a bit of chump change for an election. Now it's just a matter of liquidating the USA.

No wonder all the buyers are flocking to the auction.

Brand new lofi sampler live set under my stage name "Die, Master Monkey", and it's pretty damn good. Check it out and share if you're into #lofi #sampler #beats #SP-404 #SP-202 and even an ancient Casio #SK-1.

I'm still doing that all-live lofi thing under my stage name. This latest set was a truly mad, inspired, psycho-delic example of everything that makes "Die, Master Monkey" whatever the hell it has become. #lofi #livebeats #dronemusic #noisemusic

Social Engineering is not #hacking.

Did they forget that first sudo?

"We trust you've received the usual lecture..."
They shamelessly ignored it.

Are you respecting the privacy of others?
Are you using your powers responsibly?

Social Engineer?
You're not a hacker...you're just a liar.

Yes Kali, it's totally a good idea to hook every typo to a Python script that searches APT.

You're killing your father, Larry.

Finally caught up with latest Kali, and nope, still not a fan. Running around as root is finally over, that's nice. But now we get 'kali' auto login. Between all the sillyness and the package clutter, it's still easier to start with Fedora and spend hours tooling up than spend weeks detangling Kali.

Bring me your PoC, your code snippets, your bug bounty chatter, your polyglot trickery, your BOFs yearning to be used after free.

I'll snuggle in your adversarial ML research, study materials, editor wars (vi or stfu), zero-day rumors, Linux memes.

Expect the same from me.
