Hah, i would never lose my discord account, how could this ever happen to anyone EVER whos not actively trying to, believe me i thought that too, i was sure i wouldnt ever get my account stolen, but i still did, so let me tell you a story, with some key takeaways along the way, even for experienced users.

How it started

Date: 13th January 2022

I am Administrator on a larger Discord server, > 100.000 users, i wont be mentioning the name here, not because i want to hide it, but rather because its not important for this story.

So you do windows kernel development but then one day decide you want to play iRacing? Heres my story:

The Problem

I like motorsport, its not a secret, on that day i wanted to play some iRacing to see the Mercedes Benz AMG W12 which was developed for the iRacing simulator. But surprise i also develop! And while i do not mainly work on windows, i have a ssd in my tower running windows for some games or when i test/develop windows specific things…and it happens that around 4-5 months ago i did some kernel development/testing regarding Genshin impact reverse work.

note the times are in european standard but 12-23 is pm, 0-8 is am

Where do i start on this one, well at the beginning i suppose. I am generally open towards drugs, not extreme since i am very aware of the dangers but i also see the benifits and thus i am rather open towards them.

The beginning.

I will try to hold this short, basically this friday evening i planned to do hash brownies with two of my friends… i will not disclose their names for privacy reasons since this is about me. But all of us are adults and non of us is imature or silly in their actions, normally

So at Giggl we do quite some stuff with Docker and i wanted to do some more specific things with the Docker Engine API.

The Problem

The Problem is that the CLI arguments passed to the docker tool are not 1:1 the same passed to the daemon api, and for things like the seccomp you actually read files before sending the content to the Docker daemon.

It would be good if i could see what the docker tool sends to the API, because while the Engine Api has a documentation, it is missing certain things or does not dive into detail to the degree i would need….well turns out i can do that using a little hack!

So you’ve got your discord bot or a library for playing video files but somethings just off? Lag after some time or even directly from the beginning? Chances are that maybe the timing is off, and to be fair its really hard to get it right. Heres how to solve it.

The naive approach

Timing video/audio cant be hard can it? Turns out its not as straight forward as you might think.

Im a huge star wars fan, theres no doubt in that, its amazing how the first 6 parts combine science-fiction with spiritual topics and even some deep theming. Of course its not perfect. Lucasfilm didnt always do everything perfect and its still confusing how they wrote out the Anakin & Padmé to she being what, 18 years older? but thats another topic.

How the problem was able to be created

The first 6 parts where compared to the later parts a lot more serious. Not necasserily really darker, but they definitely had more seriousness to them. Why is that?
