I am a self-taught computer programmer with a passion for technology. My primary focus is on secure, reliable, and efficient software development that scales to meet the needs of the modern web. I have been writing since 2010 and I have had contributions published in magazines such as 2600: The Hacker Quarterly.
My background in technology & information security allows me to bring a unique perspective to my writing. My work has also been cited in scientific reports, such as "Future Casting Influence Capability in Online Social Networks: Fake Accounts and the Evolution of the Shadow Economy" by Matthew Duncan, DRDC Toronto Research Centre.

This is a post that I wrote on my #blog about #minecraft bots called #skynet that have been connecting to offline mode servers for a number of years now. Ever since I've written this people come onto my discord "why did you grief my server?".. I'm really getting tired of explaining it's bots, here's a link, this is how you fix it, no I don't operate them or having anything to do with it.. I just wrote about it once or twice. 🤣
Granted yes I do run a server crawler, but it does not connect any bots to your server.. any person who pays me money on patreon gets a breakblocks.com email, and the bots, which again are not mine, do whatever they want regardless of what I think of them.

My Minecraft server was terminated by Skynet, how do I fix it?

In this post I will explain why your Minecraft server was terminated by Skynet and how to fix it as well as stop it from happening again.

@alexmoon_ai How many times does the letter r appear inside of the word strawberry?

I was just checking out this video from @404mediaco about the #AI bunny video that swept over tiktok. I fell for it myself when I watched it on youtube shorts just once. Looking again I've noticed something within the first second of the video where one of the bunny's ears are on it's butt, then moves to it's head when the bunny turns around. Has anybody else been able to spot other stuff to show that this is AI generated? https://www.404media.co/ai-bunnies-on-trampoline-causing-crisis-of-confidence-on-tiktok/

#introduction
I am a self taught programmer in mostly just #nodejs & #java right now but historically I have written code in #perl #php #python #tcl and just a little bit of #csharp #cpp and a very little bit of #C & #visualbasic .
In the past I have written a lot about offensive security, however after a years long hiatus I have shifted focus over to defensive security in regards to operating a #minecraft server, or network, which I write about on my #blog at https://www.xnite.me/ .
I actively develop and operate a Minecraft server database at https://www.breakblocks.com/ which has an active community of almost 1,300 members on #Discord at the time of this post.

I meant to write this introduction sooner but life sucker punched me in the face.. I'm not down for the count yet though!
