Orange. We don’t have enough colour in the world today and whoooah boy does my Seiko 6106-7107 have that and is a legendary piece. She’s just turned 56 (march 1970) and the rotating internal bezel wins it for me. I have a problem with vintage Seiko

I’m truly loving seeing so many in the car scene embracing AI to help them mod/tweak/hack and improve their modern and classic cars. From playing with esp32’s to learning CAD/PCB designs and how to interact with older ECUs. Now creativity is the name of the game with no hardware/tech gatekeeping

movie: we can't trace their payload, it's behind two layers of base64! computer knowers: *groan* reality:

screenshot of text:

Triple-Base64 Encoding

All exfiltrated data is encoded through three layers of base64 before upload:

content → base64 → base64 → base64
This serves multiple anti-forensic purposes:

Evades GitHub's built-in secret scanning
Bypasses third-party secret detection tools
Makes casual browsing of repository contents ineffective
Complicates forensic analysis of stolen data
