@kura Lots of blog entries on this:https://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1022-Catching-Flies-with-Honey.htmlhttps://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/997-No-NOC-Networking-Part-3.htmlAs far as setup: For this honeypot, I registered a new domain name (years ago), put up a minimal web site, and enabled tons of tracking and logging.Since it's not advertised or mentioned anywhere, all the bots find it organically. (I haven't identified how Facebook found it.)

FotoForensics is beginning to see pictures of fake election outcomes. (The election isn't until tomorrow.) They seem to be coming from the Middle East.

In Zuckerberg's announcement today, he starts by saying that he created a social network to give people a voice. I thought he created a social network as a dating site. Can someone at his company fact-check this?

I finally put a temperature sensor in the bucket at the bottom of the external air intake conduit. (The bucket stops the cold air from filling the entire office with cold air.)The current temperature in the server room? 17.00 C (62.60 F)The current temperature at the top of the server rack? 25.37 C (77.68 F)The outside air temperature? -17.2 C (1 F).The current temperature inside the bucket of the external air intake? 3.13 C (37.63 F)Yeah, the bucket really does work.

Okay, that's cool. On Google Docs, if you put "[sic]" after any misspelling, then the wiggly misspelling underscore goes away.

The Hacker Factor Blog: Breaking Windows and Linux Customizationshttps://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1072-Breaking-Windows-and-Linux-Customizations.htmlI finally replaced Win10 on my laptop with Ubuntu. The same old laptop is now faster, has twice the battery life, and much more usable disk space. But I did need to customize it for my own preferences.

@shironeko I went with simple leg posts: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IYWBOLA. They are really well made. Installation was relatively easy because I cheated: I have a friend who builds homes and was eager to help install this. (He wanted to understand how it worked.) Things go quickly when you have a professional carpenter helping and lots of ladders.

@shironeko If you go this route, you'll need one set of 4-posts per panel. (I got two of them.) You'll also need some bolts that go into the siding (Home Depot, get the weather-coated ones), outdoor silicon caulking, and a big hold with a grommet to bring the wires inside.

@shironeko My two panels are connected in series (positive to negative) and the last two wires go into a 1/2" hole into the building. I used a silicon grommet to cover the hole, and then tons of caulking to make it weatherproof.Also, you'll need to connect the frames with a grounding wire and send that to earth ground. (My ground doesn't even come inside the building; it just goes straight into the dirt.) Wire + grounding post are a few bucks from Home Depot.

Made my first attempt at homemade ice cream. It was surprisingly tasty! Even had the correct mouth-feel. (Coconut milk, corn syrup, sugar, and vanilla. No dairy.)

ChatGPS trying to show me how to connect a heatsink and fan to a raspeberry pi. The fan should be connected to a GPIO pin and an transistor so I can decide when it turns on and off.Based on this picture, I trust NOTHING chatgpt says.

The Hacker Factor Blog: Photographic Revision vs Realityhttps://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1079-Photographic-Revision-vs-Reality.htmlThe smarter our cameras get, the less we can trust their photos. With beauty filters and AI correction baked in, our devices are quietly revising reality by default.

@campuscodi Very interesting photos. Taken with an iPhone, and transmitted to the recipient using Signal. I didn't know the Secret Service used Signal!
