Woohoo! 32k achieved!!! Finally I can post some new rant without risking some sudden overshoot 😁

So putting celebrations aside for a minute, a while ago I've noticed a tingle when I stroke my finger across metal areas of my tablet, or the sides of my phone (which probably has metal near it too) while it's charging. And it's been bugging me ever since.

Now, some things to note are that it only happens when my feet are touching the ground though slippers, and that the frequency is so low that I can actually feel the tingle when I slide my finger across the material. This to me at least seems like electricity flows through me into ground, and touching the ground directly provides a path so easy for the electrons to run away that I don't feel it at all. But if I lift my feet off the ground entirely, I just get charged up and after that, nothing else happens.

So those are my ideas. The answers on the subject on the other hand.. absolute cancer. Unsurprisingly, most of them came from Apple users. Here's some of them.

https://discussions.apple.com/threa...
- I've not noticed it, but if you're concerned bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.
- Me too facing same problem.. did u visit apple care?
And one good answer at least...
- google emf sensitivity, its real. You are right, there is a small current flowing through your body, try to limit your usage. The problem with this issue is those who aren't affected (lucky ones for now) will tell you these products are 100% safe. To a degree they are, i used my ipod touch for about 2 years straight vwith virtually no symptoms. then the tingling started and it gets worse.You will get more sensitive to progressively less powerful things. I dont want to scare you but just limit your usage like i didnt do 🙂

Overall that discussion was pretty good actually, aside from "bring it to the Genius Bar, they'll know for sure and not just sell you another unit". But then there's Reddit.
https://reddit.com/r/iphone/...
- Ok, real reason is probably that the extension cord and/or outlet is probably not grounded correctly. Either that or you are using a cheap knockoff charger.
Either use a surge protector and/or use the authentic Apple Charger.
- It's not the volts that hurt you, it's the amps
- I think you are in deep love with your phone. That tingling sensation is usually referred to as "love" in human language.
- Do less acid, I would advise.

Okay, so that's the real cancer. Grounding issue sounds reasonable despite it being wrong. Grounding is actually not needed when your charging appliance doesn't have any exposed metal parts. And isolation from high voltage to low voltage side actually happens through things like routering holes into the PCB, creating spark gaps, and using galvanic isolation through things like optocouplers. As for a surge protector? I'm using them to protect my PC and my servers, but the only purpose they serve is to protect from.. you guessed it.. voltage surges, like lightning bolts hitting the grid. They don't do shit for grounding or reducing this tingle! What a fucking tool.

It's not the volts that kill, it's the amps.. yeah I'm sure that the debunking of that is easy to find. Not gonna explain that here. And the rest of it.. yeah it's just fucking cancer.

Now what's the real issue with this tingle? It's actually a Class-Y rated (i.e. kV rated) capacitor that's on the transformer of any switch-mode power supply, including phone chargers. If memory serves me right, it helps with decoupling the switching noise and so on. But as it's connected to the primary side of the transformer, if the cap is sufficiently large and you are sufficiently sensitive, it can actually cause that tingle by passing a fraction of the mains electricity into your body. It's totally safe though, as the power that these caps pass is very small. But to some, it's noticeable.

Hope you found this interesting! And thanks a lot for bringing me to 2^15. I really appreciate it ♥️

Okay, That right there is pathetic https://thehackernews.com/2019/02/... .

First of all telekom was not able to assure their clients' safety so that some Joe would not access them.
Second of all after a friendly warning and pointing a finger to the exact problem telekom booted the guy out.
Thirdly telekom took a defensive position claiming "naah, we're all good, we don't need security. We'll just report any breaches to police hence no data will be leaked not altered" which I can't decide whether is moronic or idiotic.

Come on boys and girls... If some chap offers a friendly hand by pointing where you've made a mistake - fix the mistake, Not the boy. And for fucks sake, say THANK YOU to the good lad. He could use his findings for his own benefit, to destroy your service or even worse -- sell that knowledge on black market where fuck knows what these twisted minds could have done with it. Instead he came to your door saying "Hey folks, I think you could do better here and there. I am your customes and I'd love you to fix those bugzies, 'ciz I'd like to feel my data is safe with you".

How on earth could corporations be that shortsighted... Behaviour like this is an immediate red flag for me, shouting out loud "we are not safe, do not have any business with us unless you want your data to be leaked or secretly altered".

Yeah, I know, computer misuse act, etc. But there are people who do not give a tiny rat's ass about rules and laws and will find a way to do what they do without a trace back to them. Bad boys with bad intentions and black hoodies behind TOR will not be punished. The good guys, on the other hand, will.

Whre's the fucking logic in that...

P.S. It made me think... why wouldn't they want any security vulns reported to them? Why would they prefer to keep it unsafe? Is it intentional? For some special "clients"? Gosh that stinks

"What tools are needed for eyelash extensions? (eyelash glue, eyelash extension tweezers, etc.)

When applying eyelash extensions, just as important as the extension process itself is choosing the right tools. They not only make the master’s work easier, but also affect the quality and durability of the eyelashes. In this article we will look at what tools are needed for eyelash extensions.

The first and, of course, the most important tool for eyelash extensions is eyelash glue. This glue provides reliable and long-lasting adhesion between natural and artificial eyelashes. It should be hypoallergenic, safe for the skin around the eyes and water resistant. Only correctly selected glue can guarantee safety and beautiful extension results. Therefore, it is important to choose high-quality eyelash glue https://stacylash.com/collections/... that meets all requirements.

The second necessary tool is eyelash extension tweezers. They allow the technician to conveniently and accurately separate natural eyelashes, which facilitates the process of applying and fixing artificial eyelashes. It is important that the tweezers are of high quality, with narrow and sharp tips to ensure precise capture and separation of eyelashes.

The third important tool is tweezers. Tweezers allow the technician to conveniently and accurately place and fix artificial eyelashes on natural ones. It is important that the tweezers have good grip and grip accuracy to ensure precision and accuracy of the extension process.

The fourth necessary tool is a special eyelash brush. It is used to comb eyelashes before the procedure and to remove excess glue after extensions. The brush should be soft, but at the same time securely hold the eyelashes.

The fifth tool is special overhead eye pads. They are used to protect the skin around the eyes and lower eyelashes during the eyelash extension procedure.

So, for successful eyelash extensions you need high-quality eyelash glue, tweezers, tweezers, an eyelash brush and false eye pads. The correct selection and use of these tools will ensure the safety of the procedure and high-quality results. Don’t forget that only a professional approach and high-quality tools can make your look as expressive and attractive as possible."

I really hate it when I try to be careful with disclosing information of my employer in a rant on Reddit but the CTO who fires me go there and replies in full detail in an attempt to shame you. http://archive.is/sfP00

Because I have bigger balls (or a small brain, depending how you see it) I'll leave the post on but with my response to his comment on my thread as anybody may dig my Reddit account before hiring me for a job.

And yes, he is the same guy I refer in this past rant https://devrant.com/rants/1089376/...

It fucking sucks that the CTO will sleep safe and sound and I can't do much than looking for another job and contribute to FLOSS projects while I build new stuff to improve my skills all this while money is running out. I'm glad I'm living with my parents after this shit hit the fan, less stuff to worry about, but this is not life.

Atlasssian Bitbucket has broken umlauts since version 8.0 ...

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/...

Ladies and gentleman,

it's the year 2022.

In the internet, dat "Neuland" as Mama Merkel used to say, Atlassian managed to revert back to the good old times of ASCII.

Who needs proper multibyte charset support anyway?

Just display broken shit - as broken as the quality management of that misanthropic chum bucket company called Atlassian.

Oh and the last upgrade to Confluence broke, too.

Was just very needed because of an remote code execution.

Cause you know the usual deal. Oops zero exploit, let's make it public, telling our customers that in cloud their data is safe, otherwise they need to shut off their instances or pray that they have a WAF that can filter strings...

What broke you might ask?

Unique constraint in database, the migration wizard loved to add few extra rows, solution was to fry the rows while instance running, followed by immediate cache drop, otherwise fun started again.

I hate Atlassian.

I made a bit of a tradition of building a list of hardware that's superior to whatever Crapple is releasing whenever Crapple releases something - and for the first time, I decided to make it public instead of just sharing it with some coworkers.

Making it public however took some time (luckily, yesterday was a holiday here, so I got it done now) - at least, making it looking "not like shit" took some time.

So enjoy my (very basic) bootstrap templated, yet possibly useful list of builds superior to the Crapple Rag Mini (which is a completely fictional entity not resembling any existing company in the world. Promise. Totally. Penguin's swear.)

The list can be found here - expect to see an update anytime Crapple pushes new shit to the market:

http://il-pinguino.com/superiortocr...
(possibly not safe for work, children, catholics and SJWs). Yeah, no SSL cert, currently. Hell, it's a private server, it doesn't process any of your info and it doesn't offer downloads... I might add one in the future.

I hope you can forgive my shameless self-promotion, it's not a commercial site, there are no ads/shitcoin miners on it and i don't get a share/cut/whatever - just a small humorous joke project. For now.

BTW: I didn't attempt to build any of those. It should work, but please don't sue me if it doesn't.

So my OP6 is supposed to arrive in a few days... Hopefully and wanted some advice so I don't brick it.

I want to root and was wondering how safe it is these days.

Last time I did it was years ago for my OPO but I'm not sure how much things have changed or if anything different with Oxygen.

I'm running on TWRP, SuperSU and Lineage 14 now.

I saw some guides that suggest TWRP and Magisk (hides root better?).

https://appuals.com/how-to-root-the...

But don't plan to flash custom ROM as it seems OP now works best with Oxygen? And maybe something won't be supported in Lineage?

And will flashing recovery mess anything up... For some reason I recall OP had a stock recovery which would get overwritten?
