I have begun a project to create the world's best open-source vehicle tracker.

I bought one of these recently at the suggestion of Casey Liss of atp.fm.

Refreshing A macOS menu bar app that prevents kernel panics (DCPEXT PANIC) on Apple Silicon Macs with external monitors running above 120Hz.

I couldn't cope with those corners anymore.

It seemed a shame that the night mode on the latest WatchOS was so good yet we're stuck with the same display in sleep mode.

This isn't an exploit, I just wanted to be able to execute a shortcut on iOS via a remote trigger.

I made a stateful shortcut for the Apple Watch Ultra action button: Stateful Workout Shortcut It starts an outdoor walk workout and then enables the water lock to avoid humidity from my clothing causing unexpected inputs.

Just in case anyone thought I was joking about running Tailscale on AWS Lambda, this is how: aws-lambda-python312-tailscale

I recently blogged about my ProtonMail issues, the weird glitches with their bridge IMAP interface and their apparent lack of care that it might be silently deleting customer data - proton-bridge issue #220 I have now finally gotten around to kicking Prot…

I was a fan of the ProtonMail email service until I was casually linked to this issue while discussing something else: proton-bridge issue #220 TL;DR message UIDs returned by proton-bridge are unstable and subject to change without UIDVALIDITY changing.

I'm a big fan of Patrick Wardle's free mac utilities but I noticed something odd about LuLu recently.

After working for some time as an engineer at a very security-obsessed company I decided it would be a good exercise to note down and organise all the things I've learned both at work and in my spare time related to Linux server security.

For some time I've been using a hand-rolled solution for touchID over ssh which I previously blogged about.
