nifty idea to use the power suspend line of the RTS5306E as a gpio for the switch.

> I just thought it was more time efficient to do it manually rather than spend days trying to figure out how to automate SD card pull/plug

Heres the thing. You only have to build the automation once. While it will only take you seconds at most to pull a card, you gotta sit around and be ready for the card to be pulled.

For your problem I see 2 quick things that came to minq very quickly that could do SD card pulling for you.

1) shove a level shifter in between the SD card and device under test and have a micro enable/disable the level shifter when you want to pull/unpull. ( you can even get multiplexer IC that will do the same thing as the level shifter as acting as a switch for the SD card lines, but would allow you to connect the SD card to a 2nd device (the testing pc) to allow you to write/read data from the card when its "pulled" from the DUT.

2) 3D print a jig that will insert/remove the SD card and use a cheap RC servo to handle the movement - again using a mirco to control the servo. gives a more real world test of pulling the SD card. but only gives the the ability to pull/insert. Still required manual effort if you need to read/write to the SD card

Once you have build the jig, you can reuse the jig on the next project, so while it will take some time to do/setup it could save you time later down the road.

Edit: As for the code driving the ICs or Servo, I'm presuming you already know embedded programing, but even so, a simple Arduino sketch will be able to handle it for you, fuck ton of example code already exists for it, and can be easily controlled over USB.

> How it works

> Set up your smart plug and note its local IP address. Make sure the plug and your iPhone or iPad share the same local network. Connect your enlarger to the smart plug. Enter the plug’s local IP address in Darkplug, and connect. Once set up, you can control the enlarger directly from your iPhone or iPad.

There are people still using IRC, but the popularity of Discord can't be denied.

imo, just because something bad exists doesn't mean other bad things are now allowed to exist, but instead focusing on improving "bad thing".

The 3-2-1 rule is ~20years old at this point. But just because an archive is "old" doesn't mean we can't apply modern standards to that archive as time marches on, otherwise the BM_ARC would have never been build and opened a couple of years ago.

I mean, that 70+ year old archive must have been digitised at some point, unless Iron Mountain was storing the reel to reel tapes and/or film from the original recordings. So some "modernation" has been applied to it since its creation.

Ok, it sucks, losing data always sucks, but what ever happened to the 3-2-1 backup rule? even if your off site backup provider goes tits up, your on site backup is still there.

If you don't want on site, a second off site provider, 50TB on backblaze would be an extra ~$350 per month (prob less if they were to commit to capacity instead of using their PAYG service)

If you're this serious about security, then manufacturing your own hardware isn't good enough, you need to create your own big bang to seed your own planet to source your own helium to be used in the production of your own ICs.

But even then? can you really trust the research and information about how to produce those ICs if you have not conducted that research yourself personally?

The info, at least for my home ISP, is incorrect. The trust score docks 5 points because I don't have a reverse DNS record on the IP, but I do :-P And the reverse DNS box at the top even correcly reports my rDNS

The site says that the trust score was improved because the allocation for my IP is >10 years old, however my ISP didn't exist 10 years ago. The ASN for my ISP is only 5 years old (they brought some IP blocks because you know IPv4 address exhaustion!)

And very very little data is returned for my ipv6 /48

> The Xbox 360 had a massive piracy scene, but it was 100% offline only.

You could play pirated games online with the 360. The piracy was at the DVD Rom firmware level, replacing the stock firmware with one that basically changed the book type of the media. (And in later versions also mimicked other security checks preformed by the console to validate the authenticity of the disk)

However the DVD firmware mod didn’t break any digital signatures. It just allowed signed code to be executed from unauthentic media, so it only allowed piracy/backups not a full jailbreak allowing unsigned code. That was more the jtag/reset glitch era. Which was more “offline only” as it was easier for MS to detect and ban your key vault from Xbox live, but because people were willing to pay for modded lobbies in games like Call of Duty (which allowed you to rank up much faster) and Xbox dying if you sneezed that them, there was a even a market for extracting the keys from dead consoles to sell to those selling modded lobbies.

You still ran a risk of getting your console hardware banned for doing the DVD firmware mod, but towards the end I believe MS threw in the towel (even after trying to embed the flash chip in the samr package as the DSP for the drive which resulted in the kamikaze hack before the drive got further exploited) because one method they tried to use to detect piracy had such tight tolerances that it caused legit customers with aging drives to be caught up in the ban wave and MS had to walk it back.

The head of Xbox security (who sadly is no longer with us, he was a good egg at heart) left Microsoft not long afterwards. Obviously stating he wanted to move on to other things, but the word around the community at the time was that he was shown the door.

Personally I don’t hold much to that story (of him being pushed), this was so late in the consoles life that it seemed like it was trying to patch the hole in the titanic after it already sunk.

Not even 2.5 million API hits. If you hover over the [1] next to the 2.5mill number it reads.

Sure, Its the first thing I plan on doing once Autodesk port Fusion to it.
