So today I learned that if you really want to torture your intro to cybersecurity students, the best thing to do is to teach the course, then near the end make them watch two Hollywood portrayals of hacking and write a paper on each comparing them to real-life cybersecurity.

Short version: I'm 3 minutes into Live Free or Die Hard and I already hate it.

(To be fair, it's not actually torture. It's a fun assignment, and I actually think @CSCPROF did a really good job with this assignment. Still, I don't think I'm ever going to speak positively of this particular movie.)

"Mom, can we buy a 6502 computer?"
"No, we have a 6502 at home."

The 6502 at home...

Ok that's a fuckin steal

QR codes put to a good use...

Berlin: Widerständiger Laternenumzug gegen Verdrängung

Unter dem Motto „Geht’s noch?“ zogen am Samstag den 19. November 2022 hunderte #Kiezbewohner*innen mit Laternen, zwei funkelnden rauchspeienden Drachen und leuchtenden Protestbotschaften durch #Kreuzberg, um gegen Miet- und #Preissteigerungen, #Eigenbedarfskündigungen, #Verdrängung von Kinderläden und Kleingewerben zu protestieren. Die Miet- und #Preissteigerungen setzen die #Nachbarschaft massiv unter Druck. Die #Laternendemo beleuchtete Orte, an denen sich aktuell Nachbar*innen gegen die Auswirkungen der #Immobilienspekulation ganz besonders wehren müssen.

A lot of things happened in China recently, which were completely beyond my expectation. ​But it is worth noting that only the people in Sichuan are fighting for freedom, and the others are nothing more than survival.

​As for whether China will be the same as before when I wake up tomorrow, I don't know. But we (part of us) have seen the light, may we remember the warmth of the light and drive away the darkness.

​At least, those who collect firewood for everyone should not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow.

最近在中国发生了好多事情，完全出乎了我的意料。​但值得注意的是，唯有那四川人是为自由，其他的无非是为了生存、苟活。
​
​至于明天醒来之后，中国是不是还会和以往一样，太平盛世，这我不好说。但我们（中的一部分）已然看到了光，愿我们能够记得光的温暖，驱散黑暗。

​至少，为众人抱薪者，不可使其冻毙于风雪。
