  • Oldest by release is my NES which I got recently as a sort of gift sort of “Well I’m not using it” from a family member.

    Oldest in terms of owned by me the longest is my SNES which I got for Christmas when I was about 8-10 along with a CRT, I remember that Christmas quite fondly.

    I don’t find myself often going through the effort to play my retro consoles anymore with projects taking up a lot of my time. If I had the time, however, I’d happily use the consoles over emulating, which I do frequently.














  • It’s so easy to think that it can’t happen to you. Then it happens. Happened to me, happened to cyber security majors at my college. I’m so glad he got the channel back. I love Son of a Glitch and seeing now that YouTube casually didn’t recommend his videos for months just means I’ve got more to binge I guess!





  • I’m going to be honest, I’m getting a little tired of hearing everyone’s thoughts on the xz backdoor. It’s discouraging and sucks when every detail of the project which, keep in mind, was maintained by one person who fell victim to a social engineering attack, is scrutinized. It makes me concerned about anyone depending on any of my projects.

    Especially the comments on things such as the build scripts, which this kind of article seems to gravitate towards. If the build scripts were tiny and checked then the attack vector would have just been different, I’m not even too sure the language mattered. The attack was social engineering, after that it was pretty much project agnostic. xz was targeted cause the maintainer was done working on it and it was heavily depended on.
