AFAIK, yes. Though I haven't tried it with WPA3.

While WEP is dead, you can still use it to capture the WPA/2 handshake and run it through something like John the Ripper to try to recover the passphrase.

Admittedly, I haven't messed with it in years.

Either way, you still need a wireless adapter that's capable of promiscuous mode as well as a driver for it that supports packet injection (not sure how rare that is nowadays).

When I was in college, I rented a house just outside my budget and found I couldn't afford things like cable internet.

I had a wifi->ethernet bridge that was originally to connect my OG Xbox to a wifi network. I also had neighbors with Wifi using WEP encryption. An idea was born.

Was able to use aircrack-ng on my laptop to crack their WEP key in about 15 minutes. Plugged that key into my wifi->ethernet bridge, and then hooked that into my router. Bam, my whole house was online.

That worked for probably a year and a half.

Thank you, and she will be happy to hear that.

A bit of sad news to report.

What many of you may not know is that the mod here, Jenny, is one of my oldest IRL friends. Earlier today I got a call from her husband letting me know that when he came home from work Saturday, he found her unresponsive. She has been in the ICU since then. She was awake and talking yesterday morning but is now in a medically induced coma (mostly due to secondary complications).

I'm intentionally skipping over the specifics, but suffice it to say she's got a fight ahead of her. Things were too hectic this evening to visit, but I'm hoping to go see her tomorrow or as soon as the situation stabilizes enough to allow for non-family visitors.

So please keep her and her family in your thoughts.

Thanks,

Patrick

I think it'll do the crispy crust, but depending on what you're making, it can only prepare the dough and you'll have to bake it in a regular oven. Its baking pan is kind of shaped like a small bucket, so everything bakes into that shape.

It's got 18 different style recipes (or you can program your own). Right now, I've just made soft bread like I'd been making with the Kitchen Aid.

My solution to this is:

  1. Use a UI or app that badges or otherwise indicates new accounts (or accounts newer than 30 days or so)
  2. Refuse to interact with those accounts in the various "ask" communities. Maybe even throw it a downvote if it seems like it's coming from the same person that keeps doing this.
  3. If no one engages with them, maybe they'll knock this "hit it and quit it" bullshit off.

Sorry legit new accounts, but it's these selfish assholes that are ruining things for you and everyone else.

No idea, sorry. This was just a random, amusing thing I learned today on QI that I verified / linked on Wikipedia.

That's pretty much it. I love it.

I've been making bread at home since covid. Used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer with the dough hook until now, but that always left a huge mess to clean up. Now I prep a week's worth of dry ingredients in ziplock bags and only have to clean up one mess. I use butter powder rather than regular, and that makes things super convenient.

Before I go to bed, I dump in the water and one of the ziplock bags, set the timer, and have fresh bread waiting for me in the morning.

 

You hear that piano intro, and who do you think of?

 

I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention the pitch-perfect Weird Al parody: Gump

I don't know exactly what cadence you'd call this, but all the point releases that are divisible by 10 are basically "cleanup releases".

I usually try not to introduce anything new in these and rather focus on debugging, refactoring, and streamlining all the changes for the previous 9 releases.

So, don't expect anything groundbreaking from the next version.

That said, I am asking for feedback on things; what can be improved (without adding anything new), what's buggy, etc.

So far in 1.4.40, I've done the following. In addition to these, are there any particular areas that could be improved?

Bugfixes:

  • Don't add comment text to conversation line button tooltip if comment is hidden.
  • Check if comment_view.comment.content is undefined before setting the comment text value to it. Only shows up in console log as an error, so it's non-breaking, but it's still annoying
  • Fixed the gap where the moderation button would be in the post action toolbar if user is not a mod.
  • Fixed "Hide Deleted Posts" filter. It's a holdover from the 0.18.x days and recently, you can only see your own deleted posts. The filter was hitting the safety check to not hide your own content before this rule fired, so there's now an exception above the "post is from self" check.

Filtering:

  • Add ability to filter NSFW posts (works in addition to NSFW blur)
  • Add ability to filter posts from bot accounts (without blocking them entirely)

Enhancements:

  • When collapsing a comment thread via the conversation line, if the topmost comment in the thread is outside the viewport, scroll it into view.
