  • … well that’s some damn fine blasphemy right there, if I do say so myself.

    I’m apparently on the list.

    Honestly, surprised the file is still up for me to pull, t+24 or t+48 hours on.

    They bothered to end cap the regex with an $… can’t have anything with ‘sp3ctr4l’ anywhere in the name… I don’t have alts, so… I don’t know what the point of that is…

    Oh well.

    Not my first time.

    I got shadow banned and also just actually banned from half of reddit for calling out mods on their bullshit despite being one of the earliest/oldest users there. Obligatory fuck Spez.

    I’m reasonably confident that the twitter account I created soley to scream insults and baseless threats at Elon, when he accidentally bought it, … reasonably confident he personally banned me, as … there weren’t really any other actual support staff at that point time, Elon had revoked their credentials.

    I like to think I contributed, at least in a small way, to his subsequent insane crashout telling advertisers to ‘go fuck yourselves’.

    … this?

    This reminds me of literal petty children running Gmod servers, hardcoding steamid blocklists in hashed files… the hilarious part about that is that they actually bothered to properly encrypt them, so you couldn’t read them without a valid server key.

    So this? Actually laughable, I’ve literally seen 14 year olds do this in a more clever way.

    Fuckin oi vei, man.










  • No.

    Secure Boot is basically a ‘lock’, on the UEFI.

    UEFI - Shim is basically a ‘lockpick’.

    UEFI is the first step in your computer booting, turning on.

    So, if Secure Boot is supposed to be a ‘lock’, that limits who can access the UEFI … but it turns out that there are many, old, UEFI - Shims, that defeat that ‘lock’… then Secure Boot is not a good ‘lock’.

    I don’t mean to be rude but it seems like there might be a bit of language confusion going on here… In English, a ‘shim’ is a kind of crude/simple tool that can be used to break or bypass some actual physical locks.

    So ‘UEFI-Shim’ basically means ‘a thing that breaks into your UEFI’.
