Finally, a use for my 1-bit bloom filter!

I mean in fairness to the first one, on most systems it is possible to turn wifi back on without turning off airplane mode (there is in-flight wifi after all)

If you actually read it, the emojis are just a silly little C2 frontend, the actual attack vector has nothing to do with Discord

It’s just your OpenStreetMap username, doesn’t have to a real name. You can set “your name” to be some anonymous gibberish if you’d like

Easier to just round up lol

My guess would then be probably Tailscale or Pihole somehow interfering with that connection for some reason. Idk if you’re able (or willing) to remove those from the equation, but that might help narrow things down. If you have access to another computer locally, maybe sharing a folder on that and gradually adding steps to make it closer to your target system until it stops working?

I’ve personally been used Cx File Explorer to locally access SMB-shared folders from a Win10 device and a OpenMediaVault-based NAS, without problem (neither accessible remotely so cant attest there)

What exactly is not working? Are you getting any usable error messages? If you’re not out of the country yet, can you connect locally? Do other SMB shares work?

And then you get a call from a Swedish Wikipedia editor and they say:

February 30 was a day that happened in Sweden, 1712.[4] This occurred because, instead of changing from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar by omitting a block of consecutive days, as had been done in other countries, the Swedish Empire planned to change gradually by omitting all leap days from 1700 to 1740, inclusive. Although the leap day was omitted in February 1700, the Great Northern War began later that year, diverting the attention of the Swedes from their calendar so that they did not omit leap days on the next two occasions; 1704 and 1708 remained leap years.[5]

To avoid confusion and further mistakes, the Julian calendar was restored in 1712 by adding an extra leap day, thus giving that year the only known actual use of February 30 in a calendar. That day corresponded to February 29 in the Julian calendar and to March 11 in the Gregorian calendar.[5][6] The Swedish conversion to the Gregorian calendar was finally accomplished in 1753, when February 17 was followed by March 1.[5]

I did not include any //es with the https:, but I put just the one usual pair with the ttps:. Oh. Hmm. Yes, it appears I have indeed Brainfucked the link

(try now)

Haven’t had any interactions with ST.W personally, but I feel tempted to share the testimony of someone who begs to differ (@[email protected] of [email protected]): https://lemmy.zip/post/9940581

There’s always a relevant xkcd:

(actually quite a few in this case…)

The description does say it contains interference modifications, most notably increasing text size. This seems more like a “(grand)parent mode” preset than just any sort of ruse to keep the data farms running

The only significant results for “ro_V26” relate to TBLauncher’s Weblate project, which has the note:

Translations for v26 (Android 8.0 or API level 26) should go only in strings-v26 component (not in strings) but I can’t find a way to remove the language-v26 from strings

https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/tblauncher/strings/ro_V26/

So looks like just a product-version-specific translation and a configuration problem

Only the west coast is supported in the US so far. Iirc it’s just CA, OR, and WA, or something like that

Relevant xkcd (which tbh is also a high risk site for this kinda stuff)

Only 6,000 blinks? That’s nothing but a watered-down scam-in-a-bottle preying on the naïve drivers trying to buy blinker fluid for their very first time. It has to be good for AT LEAST 10,000 blinks before I’d even consider putting in my car

There’s a new protocol for smart home devices called Matter, that let’s them work across ecosystems (so for example smart lights set up with Google Home could be controlled through Apple HomeKit via Matter). Thread is part of how Matter devices communicate with each other (instead of e.g. WiFi or Bluetooth). The new iPhones can directly use Thread instead of needing another devices to act as a bridge to “translate” the commands

A fairly niche addition, but definitely not useless. And a big plus for those into smart home stuff
