Today I've bought food and drink, prepped a nut roast to cook tomorrow, watched the sky get dark, and am now enjoying a small glass of chilled fino and a chat with my children before I wrap some gifts. I'm looking forward to a tech-light day tomorrow.
For another year you've been the place I've gone to for interest and enlightenment and curiosity. Thank you all, however you choose to spend this time of year.

If you spot someone with a trolley full of food sprinting out of the supermarket; no you didn't.

Finally got some me-time, so I hacked together a pub quiz app for a friend and me. We'll be hosting the yearly pub quiz for friends and family
Last year I was thinking of a complex authorization mess for persistence, but I realized a team code is 100x easier. I just store everything locally, no one is smart enough to hack it (I'd be happy if they can even enter the 4 digits)
Normally we do it on PowerPoints, but now I want to see if I can get any cool animations in pure css going :)

Now I searched and it seems that https://orionbrowser.com/ is available on iphones and you can install firefox extensions on it and thus ublock origin :)
Have an ad-free year :)
(Ps: I don't own an iphone and for every device, my setup is Ublock Origin + firefox/zen on android/linux/mac etc but Iphone forces its own engine so you cant install addons in firefox on Iphone but you can if you use orion which is created by kagi)
Edit: Oops haha forgot to say the most important thing at this time of year
merry christmas!
Edit2: Looks like orion supports ad blocking by default and in my experience it feels as good as ublock origin (I tested it on my mac on this website https://adblock-tester.com/ and got 100/100 on both zen + ubo and orion ootb
I am loving orion honestly too. I was writing this comment and then I was installing orion and suddenly the whole screen turned into a mini video/documentary about space for 1 minute for orion and man I really loved it.
I also get 200 free searches of kagi which is awesome, I have heard a lot about kagi so we will see but credit where's its due, the video was really good and its ootb ad blocking feels pretty good.
TLDR: try out orion browser :) (But I think you can try out brave too but honestly ubo is better / comparable than brave so you can try out both, I don't think orion's source code is available but yeah, it does have a premium feel to it.
Once again merry christmas! Hope it helps

In the morning I finished figuring out
how Vivotek cameras store private keys for AWS KVS streaming.
Disassembling some executables I managed to reverse engineer the encryption keys.
With the encryption keys we can switch while reusing the same certificates as before.
World spinning round and round.

I think you'll be surprised to learn you can do the same thing to any program which encrypts data

One could use TPM chip to store the keys, rather than such useless obscure encryption, which looks secure, but it’s not.

قَالَ إِنِّی عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِیَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِی نَبِیࣰّا﴿ ٣٠ ﴾ وَجَعَلَنِی مُبَارَكًا أَیۡنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوۡصَـٰنِی بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمۡتُ حَیࣰّا﴿ ٣١ ﴾ وَبَرَّۢا بِوَ ٰ لِدَتِی وَلَمۡ یَجۡعَلۡنِی جَبَّارࣰا شَقِیࣰّا﴿ ٣٢ ﴾ وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ عَلَیَّ یَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَیَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَیَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَیࣰّا﴿ ٣٣ ﴾ ذَ ٰ لِكَ عِیسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡیَمَۖ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلَّذِی فِیهِ یَمۡتَرُونَ﴿ ٣٤ ﴾[But] he said: ‘I am a servant of God. He has granted me the Scripture; made me a prophet; made me blessed wherever I may be. He commanded me to pray, to give alms as long as I live, to cherish my mother. He did not make me domineering or graceless. Peace was on me the day I was born, and will be on me the day I die and the day I am raised to life again.’ Such was Jesus, son of Mary. [This is] a statement of the Truth about which they are in doubt:
مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن یَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدࣲۖ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥۤۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰۤ أَمۡرࣰا فَإِنَّمَا یَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَیَكُونُ﴿ ٣٥ ﴾ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّی وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَ ٰ طࣱ مُّسۡتَقِیمࣱ﴿ ٣٦ ﴾ فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَیۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن مَّشۡهَدِ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمٍ﴿ ٣٧ ﴾
it would not befit God to have a child. He is far above that: when He decrees something, He says only, ‘Be,’ and it is. ‘God is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him: that is a straight path.’ But factions have differed among themselves. What suffering will come to those who obscure the truth when a dreadful Day arrives!
Surah Maryam
