Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 11/05/2026Recent @tanstack.com packages are compromised as per www.stepsecurity.io/blog/mini-sh... And yet @github.com just had dependabot open a PR updating my packages to the compromised and unlisted versions. That's absolutely wild and should never happen. 010

Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 10/07/2025Just published v0.3.1 of my rimraf #dotnet tool. This updates all the dependencies, builds & tests on more environments including Ubuntu & Windows ARM, and fixes a null reference exception. It's also the last .net 8 release before finally moving to .net 9. github.com/xt0rted/dotn...github.comGitHub - xt0rted/dotnet-rimraf: Deep deletion command for .NET (like rm -rf)Deep deletion command for .NET (like rm -rf).

Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 29/04/2025I came across this on JLCPCB's site earlier today. The In Production text gives the popup on hover. 020
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 01/04/2025It turns out the issue is the password can't be more than 25 characters long. But why tell the user that? That'd make things easier. 010

Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 20/03/2025Step 4 is because the taskbar doesn't always show up on every display. It's visible on the main one, but hidden on one or two of the others. If I just toggle auto-hide taskbar I get a different error. So this step ensures I can turn it back on without seeing another error. 010
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 20/03/2025Every time my monitors turn on I get this alert and have to: 1. Right click the task bar 2. Go to Taskbar Settings 3. Expand Taskbar Behaviors 4. Toggle Show on all Displays 5. Finally turn Auto-hide Taskbar back on Why is such a simple thing so damn complicated?! 120
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 07/03/2025I have to delete the bin & obj folders regularly, especially when switching branches a lot, because things just stop building correctly 🤷 Every project of mine has clean scripts like this now github.com/xt0rted/dotn... 010
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 14/02/2025I've been working on a new website built with @astro.build & @tailwindcss.com and after far too long the first post is now up! Along the way I built a couple Expressive Code plugins. One of them adds file icons to code blocks which is what this post is about. hackingonhacks.com/blog/2025/02...hackingonhacks.comAdding file icons to Expressive Code framesAdding and customizing file icons for your Expressive Code frames 152

Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 10/01/2025I won't lie, they got me a little curious with this one. 020
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 07/01/2025There's no equivalent of `npm install lib1 lib2 @types/lib1` to install multiple packages at the same time and handle picking the right versions of everything. This also leads into package lock territory, which doesn't behave as I expected it to either. 100
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 07/01/2025Just noticed there's a setting to hide copilot chat on your #github dashboard 🎉 It's at github.com/settings/cop... and is called 'Dashboard entry point'. 042
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 07/01/2025#NuGet came out in 2010 and we still can't install or update multiple packages at the same time with it. By contrast #NPM came out the same year and has supported this for as long as I can remember. Just one of the many thing I think of when a #dotnet dev tries to make fun of the JS ecosystem. 150

Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 03/01/2025First time making or having Basque Cheesecake and it was delicious. Much easier than a typical cheesecake too since there's no crust or water bath to fuss around with. #baking #cheesecake #desert 270

Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 16/12/2024The :dir() selector is what I'm looking for but with RH and LH options set by the browser/OS. My mom's left handed and it usually looks awkward and/or unnatural when she uses her phone. I've wondered why there's no setting for this and was curious if it was lack of interest, or no proposals at all? 110
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 16/12/2024@una.im has there been a css media query/browser setting proposal for letting the user pick if they prefer a left or right hand UI orientation? Something that's independent of text direction, that way elements can be positioned for easier use with one hand. 130
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 11/12/2024I got so tired of seeing copilot everywhere that I just hide it now. I'll never use any of it, it just gets in my way and annoys me. I care about actions, deploys, release management, and dependabot properly supporting #dotnet.

Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 11/12/2024I'm migrating to GitHub issues & projects. Most users aren't devs and don't know the system. It'd be awesome if there were demo orgs/projects showing ways to onboard unfamiliar users, useful issue templates, and project boards to track projects, tasks, and releases across management and development. 030

Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 08/12/2024Sometimes I can't re-enable auto-hide because the taskbar is missing from one or more screens and I get the same error. When that happens I have to toggle show on all displays, then I can enable auto-hide again. 010
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 08/12/2024@jenmsft.bsky.social I've been getting this since upgrading to Win11 a few years ago, but on 24H2 it happens nearly every time my monitors turn on. Besides disabling auto-hide, is there something I can do to prevent this? 110
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 29/11/2024"What was the 1st album you bought with your own money?" I can't remember which one I got first since they came out a month apart. It was either America's Least Wanted by Ugly Kid Joe or Grave Dancers Union by Soul Asylum . Both were on cassette. 000
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 24/11/2024The rear panel for the amp itself was drilled wrong, so a new version of that is on the way, and the text ended up having small lines connecting some of the letters. That seems to be due to the text not being flattened before printing. The more you know I guess. 000
Brian Surowiec (xt0rted) @hackingonhacks.com · 24/11/2024Here's the phono pre-amp I've been working on. The panels were designed in Figma using @rsms.me's Inter for the font, #heroicons for the icons, and #tailwindcss colors for the warning. Despite a couple issues I couldn't be happier. 4181
