    ## What I have learned from dogs

    1. Be yourself, but prepare to be surprised

    2. Be unprejudiced, but trust your intuition

    3. Be curious, but not dangerously so

  • so much snow

    I’ve been shoveling for days. My hands are quite sore and tired from all of it. I have a fair amount of muscle soreness in my back, my ribs, and my arms. But it’s that good post exercise soreness. I dont know why it feels so good, it’s like when I’ve gone too long without any real exercsie and then I get a bunch of exercise and then this is how I feel the next day. If I could make it more than a day without shoveling, it would probably be gone already.

    Despite all the snow, I have yet to get out in my snow shoes! I think my dog would appreciate it for this depth of snow. On our last walk I think he was getting tired of pushing snow with his chest because he started hopping in my foot prints instead of breaking new trail on his own. With the snow shoes I leave a better trail for him to walk in. It’ll be fun to see how long he makes it before he decides he’d rather walk in my trail.

  • Attacks

    An "arbitrary code execution" vulnerability lets an attacker do whatever they want, and w3m has had several of these, and may have more. Granted, measures such as ASLR and W^X can make life more difficult for an attacker, and you might notice w3m crashing as the attackers try to get the stars to line up for their ROP gadget as you (or some automation) try to download a malicious page over and over. Or, you could get unlucky and they are now running whatever code they want, or reading all your files.

    • SSH app bots

      A long time ago I wrote a program that is accessible via `ssh`. Use the arrows to move around on the map, use `u` and `d` to raise and lower the land. The program recomputes water flow, forests, swamps, settlements, and so on. It's cute.
