Freedom to Breed may not necessarily mean that you may not have any kids. It might also mean that $amount of kids is mandatory, though…

I don’t want to dox myself, so a bit vague: No, in this case something strange is going on. The obfuscated passwords get a prefix before the hex string. Like e.g. Jetty uses “OBF:<obfuscated value>”. If I edit a file in Notepad++ that contains such a string, it displays the prefix as some… strange(probably cyrillic?) characters - that aren’t even in my (or the software vendor’s) local encoding. Sometimes some of the characters in the obfuscated string change as well, but not all.

Most strange is, that the obfuscation command outputs the obfuscated string in a file in my local codepage - and everything is normal in VS Code, in regular Notepad, when printing the file on the command line,… But Notepad++ somehow fucks it up. I still guess that something is in that obfuscated string that either completely breaks Notepad++ or that Notepad++ is the only one correctly interpreting the byte sequence and all other editors are completely oblivious about some specific thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And no, I already tried converting everything to ASCII only, letting Notepad++ or other editors display non-printable characters, converting everything to UTF-8 (with or w/o BOM),… Maybe I should try a hex dump?!

I’ve got one piece of software at work on a Windows server that has some special encoding(?) voodoo with “encrypted” (rather masked/obscured) passwords in the config file that always causes the config to break if I edit (save) them with Notepad++. In all other regards, it’s perfect and a solid choice for almost any case where you need an editor for text files.

And my axe!

Just like two teens on the phone:

Thank you!

No, thank you!

Aww how nice, thank you!

You’re welcome!

Sweet.

I’m glad you like my answers

I think we should end this chat

If you feel like it.

You stop replying first.

But I can’t stop answering.

No I insist, you stop chatting first.

I’m with you, but perfect is the enemy of good, so let’s start here. Also, of this is successful, it can be used as an argument for this (“it’s like with games, which now have the legislation to force a plan for their continuation after support ended and servers shut down. Why not broaden that law to also include X?”)

There are some tools that claim to do that. Never tried them, though.

In theory, the DRM plugins should prevent the screen to be recordable, but that might be easier to circumvent than the whole DRM scheme.

Also there are small USB sticks on Ali Express for a few bucks, that tell the host, that they’re a USB webcam. In reality, they have a HDMI input and are capable to use HDCP, so that they’re seen as a valid display for copy protected content. If you want to go the manual route, this is also an easy way to record.

We’re gonna build a firewall and importlib is gonna pay for it!

Also some TVs nag you everytime you switch them on, if they’re not connected to a network and start the connection assistant…

Some routers even allow to block all internet access for a specific device which might be easier to set up

And a blockchain helps to solve which part of the problem? Some were working on mirroring all data to a git repository. In theory, that allows for easy access on all the data, versioning (with commits) and - through forks and merge requests - collaboration and distribution. Also git is a distributed repository that clones the whole history to your local drive.

But with the announcement of the cve foundation, I don’t know whether they will really import all the data in this git repository.
