As an old fart in #xdev, I get asked often, mostly by young coworkers, how to get into binary exploitation in 2025. I looked around, and here’s my recommendation:
#pwncollege is a huge collection of free #lectures and practical #challenges maintained by a team of #hackers at the Arizona State University. Check it out!

On our way…
I write this in advance of posting it. So I may need to edit this post, should the worst happen (either with my surgery or with Arwen). But, as I write this, I try to be positive and think that it all will go well. 
As I write this, it’s early Wednesday night, two days before the surgery should take place. When this gets shared, it’s a while since the surgery, and hopefully I’ve been recovering nicely so far.

How do energy-hungry machine processes fit into a world full of #ecological and #social #challenges? Can we teach #machines to be #sustainable? Can #AI help shape a #greener future? And what role do our own #dreams of a "better world" play in this? Moderated by Manuela Naveau with Martina Mara, Ali Nikrang and Davide Bevilacqua (@dvd).
Can I really keep going?
You gotta be strong... It can only get better... It's just temporary... You've been through harder times... Just keep going and things will get less hard... Things I keep telling myself lately. Because, life's journey will make kt difficult for you at times. And it's true, I've been through the worst, or at least, the darkest times I've ever had. They were difficult, it took a long time (about 13 months), they showed me the darkest fears... But, I kept going, and here I am! It's not all perfect, there are still struggles and imperfections, but hey, I keep trying! […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/10/can-i-really-keep-going/
Just keep going…
...but why does it feel so hard some days? Life is a journey. You only know that, one day, in one way or another, the journey will reach the final destination, and it will all be over. To those with certain believes, the one journey will be ending, while a new journey may be starting again, some way, some how. And, that can be a beautiful thought. But, when things are hard, it can be scary too. Because, when I am facing the harder days, I dread them loads, and when the dark monster has a really strong grip on me, the hardest days make me fear to continue the journey. But well, I will keep going. I have tried to give up in the past. I took an OD of sleeping pills when I was at the lowest point of my life. It took me over a year to gather the bits and bops and to start enjoying life again. And I think I did rather well. I have a small group of friends, but they do mean the world to me. And I have some very sweet online friends. I'll probably never be able to meet them, but that doesn't mean that I don't care about them. I have Arwen, and my parents. I have a new place that still needs a lot of work, so I hope to work on that, bit by bit... So, reasons enough to not give up! But some days...

#Kiwis what #book would you recommend that's set in #NewZealand?
One of the #reading #challenges I'm doing has a prompt for a book set in #Aotearoa, and as I don't know much about the literature from down there... I'd be particularly interested in any #books on #Māori culture.

"Armenia: demographic challenges" by Shavarsh Kocharyan
[Washington D.C. : Armenian International Policy Research Group, 2006]
Day 31 cont 
The caretaker #PM appearing on the #HateMedia (ABC Press club as defined by 
), something I can’t remember #PeterDutton doing or being capable of.
“Through everything the world has thrown at #Australia over the last three years, for all the #challenges our #nation has faced, our #government has held true to those enduring Australian #values of #fairness, #aspiration and #opportunity.
It has been less than three years since Australians voted out the #ScottMorrison (ex PM & Minister for Health, Finance, Treasury, Immigration and Holidays) government. My #colleagues and I know there is more work to do. That is what #drives us.” — #AnthonyAlbanese
Half the battle is attendance. 
Not a bad summary, nothing on environment, trade or defence… but there is #Policy to back this up. No mention of working with Independents, Greens to achieve these aims.

20-year-old Montaser Al-Harazi spends his life on the move with the bees, guarding against predators and learning to survive in a shifting world.
"I live like the bees now, always moving, never settling," he reflects on the challenges he faces.

The blog Scholarly Kitchen discusses potential #disruptions and #challenges to #scholarly #publishing and #research #communications. https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/01/30/ask-the-chefs-making-sense-of-changing-us-policies/
In addition to my annual goal of #reading 40 #books, I'm attempting to complete 3 #StoryGraph #challenges in 2025:
1) Onboarding Challenge [5 of 5+1]
2) Genre Challenge [8 of 10]
3) Reads the World [4 of 10]
I think it will be fun to see how many prompts I can check off with one book. For added difficulty, I don't have a car and my book budget is $0. I do have four #library cards that I use to borrow #ebooks.
I'll update with replies as I go.

#Trump’s #executiveorders already face #pushback, #legal #challenges.
His #fascist #orders include some #actions that #scholars and #legalexperts say may be beyond the reach of the #president’s pen and could be tied up in #courts or #legislatures for years.

I am participating in a 52 week challenge. Theme is "The World Inside." I don't do many still life photos, but this one just spoke to me as perfect for the challenge. I gave it a vintage style treatment during processing. Enjoy!
