I made an app.

Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.

I hope it's useful for someone.

The app is now open source (AGPL-3.0), the app is free and rather simple

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making. F-Droid is an option, will have to look into that

[ closing out requests for contact from graphic designers ]

UPDATE: I got so many great responses! Thank you all! It will take me a little time to get back to everyone, but I promise I will do so.

In October 2025, a critical server-side flaw in Instagram made it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view private photos and captions without needing to log in or to follow the account. Instagram silently patched the vulnerability.

Here’s how the PoC worked…

Exploit developers! I'm #hiring them! Specifically in the U.S. and UK!

We're growing even more than anticipated at VulnCheck, and I think this is probably going to be a kinda-sorta evergreen post. If you're into:

* Writing pre-auth RCE exploits
* Writing Windows exploits
* Writing IoT exploits
* Not stopping at exploits (detections, bypasses, ASM queries, scanners all in scope)
* Talking about vulns and exploits
* Writing about vulns and exploits

...then we want to talk to you! Roles are 100% #remote, but location matters — strong preference given to folks in Cheltenham, UK or MA / MD / TX here in the ol' US of A. No sponsorship or relocation, sorry!

Sound good? Hit me up or apply directly — evergreen UK JD is below, U.S. description coming soon! #remotework

The pictures now coming out of Gaza are truly shocking, and I ask all Israelis: “Who is going to pay for what your government has done?”

This is not the aftermath of a “hunt for terrorists”. This is the aftermath of indiscriminate bombings.

Your politicians let this happen. So who is now going to pay for this? Will Netanyahu pay this out of his own pocket? Does this fall on the Israeli tax payers?

Who do you expect to pay?

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
