Ah he could always gift you Up, instead.

I could be wrong, but I think OP wants to connect from his terminal to avoid suspicion

I grew up playing a mud called discworldmud, it’s an entire multiplayer world that’s still really active and entirely text based and entirely free. You should check that out. Plus Tintin++ to connect from your terminal ;)

Though I read that study was skewed by the average age of people that can afford to live near a golf course. They didn’t compare like for like in terms of health (as I recall anyway, open to correction!)

I feel like frame 3 should be clean shaven and frame 4 captioned “everything, right?”

Ah, interesting. Thanks

Unless I’m missing something here… The attacker needs to be running some sort of executable in your network with permissions to:

• dig the records and assemble the strings
• write the decoded result to a file
• make that file executable
• execute that file

You’ve got bigger problems than hexadecimal txt records in this scenario…

The only difference between this and a GitHub gist appears to be that security software doesn’t scan traffic in port 53… It easily could be configured for that though surely… It’s just UDP traffic like any other.

Someone tell me what I’m missing!

Native English speaker here. This is incorrect, the “n” is added for phonetic help “a elephant” involves an awkward break between the two words, so enter “n” to help mouth muscles work around that.

This is the same reason for weird artifacts like: “a unicorn” because unicorn starts with. “Yoo” sound and so mouths don’t need the help of the “n” to break up the awkwardness.

I think it’d be more fun if in the last frame the tomato had flourished into a healthy tomato plant.

Haha, what a delight, my first wild spotting of the thorn (þ) character! I watched a YouTube video by a language nerd who’d love to see it resurrected :)

While you donned your postman’s hat I studied the way of th blade…

Nectarine!

If I had had any response at all, I wouldn’t be saying anything at all here. The reality is that I have had no response - not an unsatisfactory suggestion, not a tech support suggestion, not a “this is your fault”, not one single word has reached me from them. I’m not telling you what the fault is, because it’s irrelevant… 3 months waiting for any response at all (after several more follow up emails from me requesting a response) is diabolically bad customer support.

Regarding your CSI style breakdown of my inner reasonings, like whatever makes you happy.

Regarding copying and pasting my response, yeah I did that because I was quoting someone who turns out to be have been wrong 🤷‍♂️

This all assumed I have more spare time than I do. I am in the EU. This problematic phone should not be a problem that I have to invest time into resolving when it did not work from the very first use. This should be the simplest of support cases; return the phone for replacement or reimbursement.

The problem has not been resolved and the phone sits unused in its packaging in my desk drawer.

I have instead learnt to repair my current phone (which was itself a very rewarding and remarkably simple process, which is my new plan for reducing my electronic waste) and am still awaiting a response from fairphone after multiple follow up emails informing them of my disappointment and not one reply from a human.

I’m saying this a lot, but going to repeat myself here:

Fuck these guys… Seriously. I bought a phone off of them hyped at the idea of the ethics. It didn’t work on arrival. Over 3 months later and not one single reply to my helpdesk request (other than the Automated acknowledgement of receipt).

Unbelievably bad user experience, I went from hyped at the concept of reducing my production of electronic waste to beyond disappointed at a brutally bad user experience.

Then to make matters worse, it is difficult to source spare parts for the fairphone 4 (according yo a friend of mine who owns one that he bought a while ago)… Like is that not the entire point of the phone, reduced consumption of new phones by supporting repairs. If you’re going to stop producing the spares at least release the patents then… if you really believe in the promoted ideals that you spout… Which they clearly do not.

It turns out that it’s just another money hungry company hell bent on burning the planet down to see a line go up, as far as I’m concerned. All gaff to sell shite phones at higher prices.

Do not buy.

I said it elsewhere but it’s worth repeating here that fighting drivers is fighting the wrong fight. Fight the government.

Even if you convince the drivers that you’re right, nothing changes.

Or did it end…?

Though in all seriousness, this is nothing like my experience of lucid dreaming where I was highly aware it was a dream, it felt more like collaborating with my imagination “now I can fly” and my dreaming mind would make that happen “suddenly I can’t fly” and I’m plummeting to earth, it was all very obviously a dream to me, though still thoroughly enjoyable.
